AURORA - All My Demons Greeting Me As a Friend

I’m growing tired and I’m growing old
And the road I walk, I walk alone
And I wonder if and I think I might
Take a look, take a look on the other side

For five days I will walk away
From the lonely life, I am done with pain
And I wonder if and I think I might
Take a look, take a look on the other side
Just one look

All my demons
Greeting me here as a friend
I’m home
Waiting for time to let go
Peace in my body and soul

Oh, oh

Born to live
And I know I’ve tried
To keep myself in peace with time
Without control at all in life
I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine on the other side

Pack my bags
I know the road
I write the words and here I go
Towards the peace I need to find
I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine on the other side

All my demons
Greeting me here as a friend
I’m home
Waiting for time to let go
Peace in my body and soul

I meet the eyes
I recognise how they have changed with time
I find myself surrounded by a coffin in the night
I meet the eyes
I recognise how they have changed with time
I find myself surrounded by a coffin in the night

All my demons
Greeting me here as a friend
I’m home
Waiting for time to let go
Peace in my body and soul

I meet the eyes
I recognise how they have changed with time
I find myself surrounded by a coffin in the night

Oh
Body and soul
Oh...
Oh, oh

I was listening to the ocean
I saw a face in the sand
But when I picked it up
Then it vanished away from my hands - down...
I had a dream I was seven
Climbing my way in a tree
I saw a piece of heaven
Waiting, impatient, for me

And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
And I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain

But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore

I was painting a picture
The picture was a painting of you
And for a moment I thought you were here
But then again, it wasn't true - down...
And all this time I have been lying
Oh, lying in secret to myself
I've been putting sorrow on the farest place on my shelf
La-di-da

And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
And I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain

But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore...

But I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall

And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?

But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go

Now take me home, home where I belong, no, no
Now take me home, home where I belong, oh, oh
Now take me home, home where I belong, no, no
Now take me home, home where I belong
I can't take it anymore

Broken mornings, broken nights and broken days in between
Open ground, the sky is open, makes an open scene

Just like in fiction, in every addiction
Oh fantasy's taking over, awake me

I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seem to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seem to come my way

Broken me and broken them
You are broken too
Open ears, their eyes are open
Makes me call for you

But there's no seduction only destruction
Oh fantasy take me over and break me

I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seen to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seen to come my way

I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seen to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seen to come my way

I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live

I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seen to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seen to come my way

I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seen to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seen to come my way

I've been looking for the conqueror
But you don't seen to come my way
I've been looking for the only one
But you don't seen to come my way

I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live
I feel ali-li-live

Go row the boat to safer grounds
But don't you know we're stronger now
My heart still beats and my skin still feels
My lungs still breathe, my mind still fears
But we're running out of time, time
All the echos em my mind cry

There's blood on your lies
The sky's open wide
There is nowhere for you to hide
The hunter's moon is shining

I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the

Trick or treat, what would it be?
I walk alone, I'm everything
My ears can hear and my mouth can speak
My spirit talks
I know my soul believes

But we're running out of time, time
All the echos em my mind cry

There's blood on your lies
The sky's open wide
There is nowhere for you to hide
The hunter's moon is shining

I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves

A gift, a curse
They track and hurt
Say can you dream
In nightmare seems
A milion voices, silent dreams
Where hope is left so incomplete

I'm running with the
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the
I'm running with the
I'm running with the
I'm running with the wolves

I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the wolves tonight
I'm running with the wolves
I'm running with the...

When... When I am down
I lay my hands upon this ground
For the thousandth time
I call him in, his earth is mine

Before I make the offering
Remember all the faces that I've seen
Now all the marks have settled on my skin
From all the different places that I've been
That I've been

And I feel the light for the very first time
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
And I feel the light for the very first time
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive

War inside my mind
Behind my eyes, it's coming down
And for the thousandth time,
I feel too numb to even mind

Before I make the offering
Remember all the faces that I've seen
Now all the marks have settled on my skin
From all the different places that I've been
That I've been

And I feel the light for the very first time
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
And I feel the light for the very first time
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive

I don't know where I am, or where I'll go
Or where to even begin when I know
What lies behind
Makes no sense in my mind
But I know that it's time to let go

And I feel the light for the very first time
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
And I feel the light for the very first time
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive

I'm lucky to be alive
I'm lucky to be alive

Walking in my sleep
Like the naked trees
Will they wake up again?
Do they sleep, do they dream?

Feel it as the wind strokes my skin
I am moved by the chill
Hear the winter bird sing

My tears are always frozen
I can see the air I breathe
But my fingers painting pictures
On the glass in front of me
Lay me by the frozen river
Where the boats have passed me by
All I need is to remember
How it was to feel alive

Silent things, violent chase
We are dancing again
In a dream, by the lake
Ah

My tears are always frozen
I can see the air I breathe
But my fingers painting pictures
On the glass in front of me
Lay me by the frozen river
Where the boats have passed me by
All I need is to remember
How it was to feel alive

Rest against my pillow
Like the ageing winter sun
Only wake each morning to remember that you're gone
So I drift away again
To winter I belong
Ah

My tears are always frozen
I can see the air I breathe
But my fingers paint a picture
On the glass in front of me
Lay me by the frozen river
Where the boats have passed me by
All I need is to remember
How it was to feel alive

My tears are always frozen
Ah
My tears are always frozen
Ah
My tears are always frozen

All I need is to remember
How it was to feel alive
I need to remember
How it was to feel alive

I went too far when I was begging on my knees
Begging for your arms, for you to hold around me
I went too far and kissed the ground beneath your feet
Waiting for your love, waiting for our eyes to meet

I went too far when I was begging on my knees
I went too far when I was
When I cut my hands, so you could stand and watch me bleed
I went too far
I went too far and kissed the ground beneath your feet
I went too far
Standing in my blood, it was a taste of bittersweet

Crying 'give me some love, give me some love and hold me
Give me some love and hold me tight
Oh, give me some love, give me some love and hold me
Give me some love and hold me tight.'

Why can't I turn around and walk away?
Go back in time?
I had to turn around and walk away
I couldn't stay, I had to walk away
If i went to far

I'm left behind with an empty hole
And everything I am is gone
I tried to reach for another soul
So I can feel whole

Oh, give me some love
Oh, give me some love

Oh, give me some love, give me some love and hold me
Give me some love and hold me tight
Oh, give me some love, give me some love and hold me
Give me some love and hold me tight

Why can't I turn around and walk away?
Go back in time?
I had to turn around and walk away
I couldn't stay, I had to walk away

If i went to far
If i went to far

Oh, give me some love, give me some love and hold me
Give me some love and hold me tight
Oh, give me some love, give me some love and hold me
Give me some love and hold me tight

Why can't I turn around and walk away?
Go back in time?
I had to turn around and walk away
I couldn't stay, I had to walk away

I went too far
I went too far
I went too far
I went too far
I went too far
I went too far
I went too far
I went too far

Give me some love...

World is covered by our drapes
Scars we cover up with paint
Watch them preaching sour lies
I would rather see this world
Through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child

Darker times will come and go
Times you need to see her smile
And mothers hearts are warm and mild
I would rather feel this world
Through the skin of a child
Through the skin of a child

When a human strokes your skin
That is when you let them in
Let them in before they go
I would rather feel alive with a childlike soul

Myself inside a mirror on the wall
A look within my eyes I can't recall
A feeling that I was no more
And when I stopped, the silhouette moved on

She turned her head and walked away
So far I could no longer see
My own reflection on the wall
Is no longer reflecting me

I look in the mirror I see reflections
I see the eyes of somebody else
I look in the mirror I see reflections
I see reflections of myself

The lady was a part that I've ignored
I've felt her underneath my skin before
I tried to never listen to her words
Until they were the only words I heard

The lady on the other side
She screamed again with angry eyes..
And in my hand there was a stone
I threw it and the mirror broke

I look in the mirror I see reflections
I see the eyes of somebody else
I look in the mirror I see reflections
I see reflections of myself

Go back where you came from
Where you belong
From all the anger
Where you are numb

I look in the mirror I see reflections
I see the eyes of somebody else
I look in the mirror I see reflections
I see reflections of myself

Go back where you came from
Where you belong
From all the anger
Where you are numb

I fall asleep in my own tears
I cry for the world, for everyone
And I build a boat to float in
I'm floating away

I can't recall the last time
I opened my eyes to see the world as beautiful
And I built a cage to hide in
I'm hiding, I'm trying to battle the night

Let love conquer your mind
Warrior, warrior
Just reach out for the light
Warrior, warrior
I'm a warrior
Warrior, warrior
I'm a warrior
Warrior, warrior of love

I stand behind the wall of people and thoughts
mind controlling
And I hold a sword to guide me
I'm fighting my way

I can't recall the last time
I opened my eyes to see the world as beautiful
And I built a cage to hide in
I'm hiding, I'm trying to battle the night

Let love conquer your mind
Warrior, warrior
Just reach out for the light
Warrior, warrior
I'm a warrior
Warrior, warrior
I'm a warrior
Warrior, warrior of love

Underneath darkened skies
There's a light kept alight

Let love conquer your mind
Warrior, warrior
Just reach out for the light
Warrior, warrior
I'm a warrior
Warrior, warrior
I'm a warrior
Warrior, warrior of love
Warrior of love
Warrior of love

He holds the gun against my head
I close my eyes and "bang", I am dead
I know he knows that he’s killing me for mercy
And here I go
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
And here I go
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

He holds my body in his arms
He didn't mean to do no harm
And he holds me tight

Oh, he did it all to spare me from the awful things in life that come
And he cries and cries
I know he knows that he’s killing me for mercy

And here I go
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

The gun is gone
And so am I
And here I go

Lost in the moment again
Stuck where the road has no end
Keeping the thought in our minds
One day life will be kind

We are not alive
We are surviving every time
We are not alive
Only dreams inside our minds

We are home
We are home
Home
We are home
We are home
Home

Endless days of complaints
Forcing the light to our veins
Keeping the hope in our minds
One day life will be kind

We are not alive
We are surviving every time

We are home
We are home
Home
We are home
We are home
Home

Wrapped inside a cocoon made of flesh and bones
Doesn't really matter where you come from

We are home
We are home
Home

Calm again, calm again
I feel warm again, I'm reborn again
I am warm inside for a little while
I am fine...

We are not alive
We are surviving every time

Wrapped inside a cocoon made of flesh and bones
Doesn't really matter where you come from
We are home
We are home
Home
Wrapped inside a cocoon made of flesh and bones
Doesn't really matter where you come from
We are home
We are home
Home

Under the water we can't breathe, we can't breathe
Under the water we die
Under the water we can't be together
Under the water we are alone

Then why do we jump in?
Why do we jump in?
Under the water we die

So many souls, that lost control
Where did they fall?
And to the deep, what do they see?
Where did they fall?
Where did they fall?

Hearts will dream again
Lungs will breathe in
Wash away the sin
It's where it begins
Feet won't fail you now
Arms won't let you down
Wash away the sin

Under the water we can't be together
Under the water we die
Then why do we jump in?
Why do we jump in?
Under the water we die

So many souls that lost control
Where did they fall?
And to the deep, what do they see?
Where did they fall?
Where did they fall?

Hearts will dream again
But we'll breathe in
Wash away the sin
It's where it begins
Feet won't fail you now
Arms won't let you down
Wash away the sin

It's where it begins

Hearts will dream again
Wash away the sin

When I'm on a boat
I float - I know I can never drown
I see underwater lands
The wind, the wind is the only sound

Take your hand when I go under
I'm under and above
Take your hand when I go under
I'm under and above

On the river
I'm floating in
Underwater
I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies

On the river
I'm floating in
Underwater
I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies

Black water lilies

Arms are reaching forwards
My arms - I can see no more
We dance as we float around
We head towards the ocean floor

Take your hand when I go under
I'm under and above
Take your hand when I go under
I'm under and above

On the river
I'm floating in
Underwater
I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies

On the river
I'm floating in
Underwater
I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies

I am floating down
I can reborn

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go
I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young, but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
You're half the world away

And when I could leave this planet you know I'd stay
But I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I can leave this spirit, find me a hole and I will fill it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go
I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young, but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down
You're half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down

Don't feel down

The gun is gone
And so am I
And here I go

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
A lucky day he passed my way
Then we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
Then he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is to love and be loved in return"

I will tell you the story about the little boy I found in the grass
Tired soul as he told me he could hear the children wanting to pass

Sounds of laughter in the air
Still today we hear them

Finally we are over it all
Finally we are over it all

Let them run from the violence
The world is way too cold and bright for their eyes
Little boy runs beside them
As they take his hand and jump to the sky

Still today you hear him

Finally I am over it, over it all
Finally I am over, over it all

When will my healing come?
When will my healing come?
Alone, sinking like a stone
When will my healing come?
Alone...

Finally I am over it all
Finally I am over it all
Oh...
Finally I am...

We go way back in time, time
Through diamond eyes
We go running
Way back in time
Through diamond eyes

We gotta go back to the start
Back 'til we are back home
We gotta go back to the start
Back 'til we are back home
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock tick
Where is the rain?
Are we meant to go down again?
We go down

Lightening strikes
Wisdom cries
It's an emergency, emergency
Conscious all night
No one's surprised
As long as we...emergency
Emergency, emergency

Wis-Wisdom cries
Wisdom cries
Wisdom cries
Wisdom cries
Wisdom cries
Wisdom cries
