Empty Space

It’s the last day
Our empty space
We step inside and turn away
Last night we loved, we found that place
And now we go our separate ways
Hello, is anybody home?
Where has everybody gone?
Lost in place
I’m feeling lost in place
Oh, I tell myself - I will be fine, I will be fine.
It’s the next day
A silent face
We walk outside and turn away
Last night we loved and nothing changed
So now we go our separate ways
Hello, is anybody home?
Where? Where has everybody gone?
Lost in place
I’m feeling lost in place
Oh, I tell myself I will be fine, I will be fine
Lost in place
I’m feeling lost in place
And, I tell myself I will be fine, I will be fine
And, I tell myself I will be fine, everything is fine
Still, I tell myself I will be fine, and it’s just a lie

Secret Religion

The place was on fire
And heads turned in time
The moment you walked in the room
The day turned to night it felt like a dream
I couldn’t get closer to you
The mirror balls spins reflecting your light
I fashioned an image of you
A radiant vision of you
As night turns to day
And dreams fade away
I open my soul up to you
Completely enchanted by you
I think I’m finally going sane
I’ll find it some way
Will you show me how you play
And hide love away
In your secret religion, pray
In your secret religion
A reticent mind in violet hour
Finds silence and secrets in you
Alone with my faith, surrounded by light
I never felt closer to you
We're frozen in time the fear fades away
I painted a picture of you
A haunting image of you
As day turns to night
The secrets remain
I open my arms up to you
Forever enchanted by you
I think I’m finally going sane
I’ll find it some way
Will you show me how you pray
And hide love away
In your secret religion
Stay in your secret religion
Stay in your secret religion
Stay in our secret religion
Pray in our secret religion
Stay

Pearls

Our trust crashed and burned
True love hit and run
Hurt hearts
Heels break at your feet
Pearls strewn on the street
So hard
Oh, our new beginning
Has come to its ending
My heart, your hands
Oh, our new beginning
Surrender again
My heart, your hands
When did bondage break?
Was it all a fake?
Burned hearts
Clothes thrown on the street
While the city sleeps
So scarred
Oh, our new beginning
Has come to its ending
My heart, your hands
Oh, our new beginning
Surrender again
My heart, your hands
Oh, our new beginning
Has come to its ending
My heart, your hands (Oh)

We Are Not The Weather

Holding flowers on the Tube
Tripped on curbs to get to you
Moments come in view
Waves of pleasure calm and clear
Reflecting back I play by ear
And open up to you
We laid out all night long
You whispered, “We are not the weather.”
And “I am not that song.”
You sang, “We are not the weather.”
(Oooo) We are not the weather
I was fine until we kissed
Strumming hand and twisted fist
Passion did enlist
Realizing we are both the same
We begin to fan a flame
We didn’t know exists
We laid out all night long
You whispered, “We are not the weather.”
And “I am not that song.”
We sang, “We are not the weather.”
(Oooo) When I walked you home, hiding in the rain together, we found a place to be alone
(We are not the weather) secret promises we made that night knowing that the storm will hide the stars but that’s alright, we’ll make our own light
I was fine until we kissed strumming hand and twisted fist
We found passion did exist whispered till we sang
We are not the weather
(Oooo) When I walked you home, hiding in the rain together, we found a place to be alone
(We are not the weather) Secret promises we made that night knowing that the storm will hide the stars but that’s alright, we’ll make our own light
As the storm fades, and the dawn breaks
We’ll make our own light
As the storm fades, and the dawn breaks
We make our own light
(We are not the weather, we are not, we are not the weather)

We Dance Ecstatic

We dance
Another morning, another warning
We dance
The earth is quaking, the sky is falling
We sway
Retreating winters and burning summers
We kiss
The grid is failing, tomorrow’s calling
Spinning ‘round without a care as we
Crash through the atmosphere
Sun kissed skin and fan-blown hair
If it’s the end, pretend we care
We dance, we dance, into the flames
We dance, we dance, we dance ecstatic
We dance
The levee’s breaking, the bridge is shaking
We dance
The ice is melting, and alms are aching
We sway
Words lose their meaning when truth is fleeting
We kiss
It’s all so solemn, and not your problem
Tonight’s the night we’ll dance on air as we
Spin through the atmosphere
Sequined heels and high-rise hair
When the disco burns, I’ll meet you there
We’ll dance, we’ll dance, we’ll dance
Dance, we’ll dance, we’ll dance into the flames
Dance, we’ll dance, we dance ecstatic
We dance, we dance, we dance into the flames
We dance, we dance, we dance abandon…
