I’ve been shot down, kicked to the ground
With fractured wings, playing on broken strings
The days are long, now the dream is gone
Will the magic fade, now I’ve lost my way
I don’t believe you’re lost inside
No false messiah will be your guide
Maybe you’re down but you’re still alive
It may take some time but you’ll survive
Who are the ghosts inside my head, inside my head who want me dead
Where is the fire where is the flame, where is the flame to light my way
I’ll fight the ghosts inside your head, inside your head who want you dead
I’ll be the fire I’ll be the flame, I’ll be the flame to light your way
Now I don’t believe and I can’t see
The words are outta time the chords are outta key
I can’t fight the pain that won’t leave me be
But it’s my own mind that tortures me
I’ll help you face what tortures you
Because you need the songs and they need you
You don’t have to take the hurt alone
Together we are strong search your heart and soul
I’m here to compromise you
My eyes will hypnotise you
Twist the knife inside you
Away my wings will take you
Your pain your love forsake you
Entwine your mind and complicate you
You wound but you can’t kill the love
I’m a six string soldier, flesh and blood
The rainbow rises from above
The line where horizon meets the sky
The witch her scripture tells me why
The rainbow will be your demise
I stand alone the last in line
To change the path and halt the hands of time
Our fates were destined to intertwine
You’re not alone we stand tonight
As one voice to make it right
Give words to those who’ve lost their light
I can’t just turn my back and run
The fire in this heart still burns
And I’ll stand and face the rising sun
Late nights
Stage lights
I play the riff that takes me home
The love
For those words
The lines I wrote so long ago
My mind
Your guide
You were the light I followed home
Through tears
Now I see
That you never let me feel alone
