Welcome to the lyrics page for Ten Embers...
1. RISE
You can choose to walk away
But you must live with that decision every day
You can learn to understand
But their is darkness in the heart of every man
Rise, rise again
Until the fear the drives your weakness turns to strength
And come on rise, rise above
If you can find yourself you’ll always be enough
You can breathe through any pain
But the scar it leaves behind will still remain
And you can climb above the hate
Find a world beyond the walls that they create
Rise, rise again
Until the fear the drives your weakness turns to strength
And come on rise, rise above
If you can find yourself you’ll always be enough
Rise again Rise again
Rise, rise again
Until the fear the drives your weakness turns to strength
And come on rise, rise above
If you can find yourself you’ll always be enough
Don’t you wanna know? Don’t you wanna know?
Don’t you wanna know just who you are?
Don’t you wanna know? Don’t you wanna know?
Don’t you wanna know just who you are?
Don’t you wanna know? Don’t you wanna know?
Don’t you wanna know just who you are
Don’t you wanna know? Don’t you wanna know?
Don’t you wanna know just who you are?
2. CATCH YOU BACK
Northern body, southern soul
I used to spend my days dreaming my way out of this hole
Take a number take a ticket take a chance
Barely sleeping or sleeping hard
I never planned on anybody taking over my heart
Complicated overrated romance
But you were the summer
You were the dreamer
You were the reason
If you can catch me baby, maybe I can catch you back
You were playlist
You were the cold drinks
You were the whole thing
If you can catch me baby, maybe I can catch you back
Have my body, take my soul
And how I spend my days waiting for your face to come home
How I love to hear your key in the door
Now You are the summer
You are the dreamer
You are the reason
If you can catch me baby, maybe I can catch you back
You are the playlist
You are the cold drinks
You are the whole damn thing
If you can catch me baby, maybe I can catch you back
Hold out your arms, and be my safety net
Hold out your arms, and be my safety net
3. LANTERN
Lost in a sea of remorse, strange winds have blown me off course
Battered and bruised by the force, and I’ve never known this before
And there you go with your light
Slicing your way through the night
A beacon of hope in an otherwise hopeless design
You’re my lantern, you’re my lantern,
Guiding me back to the shore, so I’m not alone anymore
Wood takes the weight of the steel, my fingers are tight to the wheel
Rain cuts its way through my hands, as you wait for me on the sand
And there you go with your light
Slicing your way through the night
A beacon of hope in an otherwise hopeless design
You’re my lantern, you’re my lantern,
Guiding me back to the shore, so I’m not alone anymore
And there you go with your light
Slicing your way through the night
A beacon of hope in an otherwise hopeless design
You’re my lantern, you’re my lantern,
Guiding me back to the shore, so I’m not alone anymore
4. NO WAY HOME
Joanna came from old LA
Where the sunsets fade to grey
And life moves slow inside the fantasy
I think old Einstein called it relativity
They took what they wanted The physical damage
And now she’s lying in the street
And there’s no way home
She made her protection The chemical weapon
And now she’s broken in the street
And there’s no way home
Her momma knew lots of famous men
They used to call on her at ten
They left white lines upon the table
Joanna slept when she was able
They took what they wanted The physical damage
And now she’s lying in the street
And there’s no way home
She made her protection The chemical weapon
And now she’s broken in the street
And there’s no way home
Rain keeps falling down
(Tell me child where you find your angel wings?)
They took what they wanted The physical damage
And now she’s lying in the street
And there’s no way home
She made her protection The chemical weapon
And now she’s broken in the street
And there’s no way home
5. AIN'T NO LOVIN' YOU
No matter where I go or what I do
You take my colours and you paint them blue
This mess is beautiful and so are you
There ain’t no lovin’ you
It’s complicated yeah I know that’s true
And no one complicates it more than you
The complications of the complex two
There ain’t no lovin you
You keep me hanging around for days
Just to catch a glimpse of love
You got me crawling on my knees, please don’t tease me
You leave me hangin by a thread of dignity yeah
No matter where I go or what I do
You take my colours and you paint them blue
This mess is beautiful and so are you
There ain’t no lovin’ you
You keep me hangin’ around for days
Just to catch a glimpse of love
You got me crawling on my knees, please don’t tease me
You leave me hangin by a thread of dignity yeah
It’s complicated yeah I know that’s true
And no one complicates it more than you
And if you’re leaving me can I come too?
There ain’t no lovin you
There ain’t no lovin’ you
6. NEW YORK CITY LIGHTS
Across the water Past the harbour
Follow the river Into the danger
Behind the shadows Of faded buildings
That once belonged here They left behind a ghost
And the New York City lights
Reflected in the rain
From the sidewalk to the skyline
From the neon to the flame
The New York City lights
They seem to know my name
But I’m a stranger to this island
And I need to find my way
Through the New York City lights
As fallen angels Preach the gospel
From empty bibles To all the sinners
I found Dakota Where shots were fired
But not one flower Was laid upon the ground
And the New York City lights
Reflected in the rain
From the sidewalk to the skyline
From the neon to the flame
The New York City lights
They seem to know my name
But I’m a stranger to this island
And I need to find my way
Through the New York City lights
7. BROTHERS
I know I’m not innocent I played my part
We were dealing in the currency of broken hearts
As we try to compensate for all the things we lack
And hide from all the wasted time we can’t get back
But I still remember
How it used to be
Why do brothers Turn to strangers ?
How do lost souls Bridge their distance ?
When do closed hearts Learn to listen ?
You’re my brother, help me fix this !
You and I are so alike yet not at all
The first to jump, prepared to fly, afraid to fall
But when it comes around to holding out
the olive branch
We think we see a knife held in the other hand
Oh and I still remember
How it used to be
Why do brothers Turn to strangers ?
How do lost souls Bridge their distance ?
When do closed hearts Learn to listen ?
You’re my brother, help me fix this !
I sing it once for you now sing it back to me
Knocking on doors and we’re running thru streets
Jumping over walls on the way back home
Mama gonna yell when the lights come on
Why do brothers Turn to strangers ?
How do lost souls Bridge their distance ?
When do closed hearts Learn to listen ?
You’re my brother, help me fix this !
I sing it once for you now sing it back to me (x4)
I still remember
8. SAVE ME
A restless soul never compromises
Hide my age from around the eyes
I see, I got a little bit older
Throw my coin in the wishing well
And It won’t come true if I ever tell
You see, I got a little bit wiser
Oh .. save me, from myself
I get lost in my own head
Oh and save me, from myself
Cos I get lost in my own head
I Trip and fall as I runaway from
Recurring dreams that I can’t awake from
Sleep, got a little bit harder
Eyes wide open counting stars
And I reach for the keys from behind the bars
I keep, myself the prisoner
Oh .. save me, from myself
I get lost in my own head
Oh and save me, from myself
Cos I get lost in my own head
Save me, save me, save me from myself
9. LOVE SOMEBODY (TOO)
Love me if you love me leave me if you don’t
And you can always keep me in the pocket of your coat
Take me out whenever you need a little time
If I am just out of sight and just out of mind
Carry me to shelter hold me in the rain
Soak me to my spirit and won’t you dry me out again
The broken intuition in the ruins of your lies
You were just out of sight and just out of mind
Cut me if I’m bleeding cut me if you could
Or cut me off completely like you never gave a
Falling out is all we ever do now
Its in the fractures of our smiles
We were all out of sight and all out of mind
Don’t you think you better love somebody
Love somebody
I think you better love somebody
Before you run out of time
Don’t you think you better love somebody
Love somebody
I think you better love somebody
Before you run out of time
Don’t you think you better love somebody
Love somebody
I think you better love somebody
Before you run out of time
Don’t you think you better love somebody
Love somebody
I think you better love somebody
Before you run out of time
10.
YOU"LL HEAR THE OCEAN
When I was a lad oh my Grandmother said
Hold a shell up to your ear
If you listen close and you keep your eyes closed
You’ll hear the ocean my dear
You’ll hear the ocean you’ll taste the wind
You’ll feel the cold of your feet in the sand
So lets buy us a boat and we’ll move to the coast
You’ll hear the ocean my dear
When I was a youth all I craved was the truth
I replaced magic with fear
So afraid to grow old as my heart became cold
And I miss the ocean my dear
I miss the ocean I miss the wind
I miss the cold of my feet in the sand
So I’ll buy me a boat and I’ll move to the coast
And I’ll hear the ocean my dear
You’ll hear the ocean you’ll taste the wind
You’ll feel the cold of your feet in the sand
So lets buy us a boat and we’ll move to the coast
You’ll hear the ocean my dear
When I was a lad oh my Grandmother said
Hold a shell up to your ear
If you listen close and you keep your eyes closed
You’ll hear the ocean my dear
(Close your peepers and go to sleepers)
