Waterfall

Alone upon this jagged ledge
So high above the water's edge
No way out but straight and down
No chance now to turn around
Heartbeat up between my ears
Time has come to face this fear
Every muscle in me tenses
And my lungs begin to cave in
And the icy water sears my skin
It's closing in around me
While I fight to reach the surface
And my mind spins out of focus
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
I clambered up the rocky face
Searching for a better place
My eyes were closed
I was alone
Every muscle in me tenses
And my lungs begin to cave in
And the icy water sears my skin
It's closing in around me
While I fight to reach the surface
And my mind spins out of focus
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?
No.
Feel a hand
Pull me up
Towards the sunlight
Body numb and head so heavy
But your arms around me save me
I can breathe now
I am free now.

Lyrebird

I don't know if I've met you yet
It's often just a silhouette I see
And days of heart and days of heart
But we're the sum of all our parts they say
Although it seems you're incomplete
That's just fine by me
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful you -
Do what you gotta do
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful you
Oh the lyrebird keeps singing away
You always change to suit the day
But does that matter anyway, my dear?
The lyrebird will change her tune
Depending on the afternoon she's had
Although it seems you're incomplete
That's just fine by me
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful you -
Do what you gotta do
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful you
Oh the lyrebird keeps singing away
There's no difference between you and us
We're all stealing calls and learn to adjust
Oh you're iridescent, effervescent, incandescent, ever pleasant
That's just fine by me
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful you -
Do what you gotta do
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful you
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful you
Oh the lyrebird keeps singing away

Losing Myself

Here's my smile, my dear
I have eyes for only you
I want only to be near, to be here with you
You make me laugh, my dear
Take all my time, my dear
You want my mind, my dear -
Take it all, have my thoughts
Have my hopes and dreams
Unravel the seams
Of my deepest dark wishes
Take it all
Have it all
I'm yours
My love won't drift, my dear
But this we can't endure
I've pulled you up so many times
You've pulled me down so many more
And you're breaking me down
And I can't turn around
And I'd rather you go, leave me on my own
'Cause I know that tomorrow there'll be more smoke
And I don't wanna go but I can't keep on losing myself
I've given it all and I can't keep on losing myself
Can't keep on losing myself
Can't keep on losing myself
Can't keep on losing myself

Take Me Home

The city's not the place for me
I'm drowning in the life it breathes
Concrete walls aren't very friendly -
Think I'm tired of being here
There are so many people here
But I feel so alone
Empty smiles on empty faces
I long for the place that I call home
Take me back to the mountains
Where I find peace and harmony
Take me back to the mountains
Oh take me home
Blaring sirens stuck on repeat
Never find a moment of peace
City lights make it hard to sleep
I'm so tired of being here
Take me back to the mountains
Where I find peace and harmony
Take me back to the mountains
Oh take me home
I long for clear and starry skies
Sat on the back porch watching the moon rise
I'm choked up by these sweet memories
From the place that I call home
Take me back to the mountains
Where I find peace and harmony
Take me back to the mountains
Oh take me home
Take me back to the mountains
Where I find peace and harmony
Take me back to the mountains
Oh take me home
