Vedera : The Weight of an Empty Room

Lyrics
1. TRADE THIS FEAR
Who is this darkness
Who is this illusive dreamer
Why do I love the way this distance feels
It's coiled up independence
I want so much to run/Carry me
Over all this distance my dear
Trade this fear/Carry me over all
What part of my heart
enters into your secrets
And where is the key to cherish you
I want to repay all the debt
Insecurities ran up
My peaceful surrender I do not own!
I want so much to run/Carry me
Over all this distance my dear
Trade this fear/Carry me
Over all this distance my dear/dear
Was I dreaming when
I called you the loveliest
Was I only hoping
my pride would quiet itself
Everything is quiet/Everything's so quiet
I want so much to run/Carry me
Over all this distance my dear
Trade this fear/Carry me
Over all this distance my dear/dear
Call the guards/Call the authorities
And lock this tension up
Call the guards before my heart
it runs away again
2. SONG FOR A FRIEND
Does she linger in the air that
follows you home each day
Do you ever stop and stare at yourself
For traces of her
Can a picture bring some comfort
Where a song melody leaves off
Is she silently rocking you to sleep
Because I hope and I pray
I'll see a bit of that light in my world today
Because it would be an injustice
not to see that kind of love live on
What kept your eyes up
Kept your world from falling
Darkness chokes but you found a way out
May I say your words are insight
Something unique
Hold on my friend
She's rocking you out of here
Because I hope and I pray
I'll see a bit of that light in my world today
'Cause it would be an injustice not to see
That kind of love
and we sing oh/and we sing oh
and we sing oh/and we sing oh
Because I hope and I pray
I'll see a bit of that light in my world today
(and we sing oh)
'Cause it would be an injustice not to see
That kind of love/That kind of love
3. THE FALLING KIND
Should we even wonder
Why our hearts are torn?
Why our image is based
On this broken city
Should we ask ourselves
why our lungs breathe in sickness?
Innocence is seen as weakness
Laughter at as naive
And it's these things that hold you down
When they're supposed to
keep you safe and sound
And it's these things you claim to believe
Don't let them be the ones
you forever try to please
It's a scene that leaves you cold
Why choose anything else
and lose your place in line?
May I ask one thing
How do you think this will work out?
You are no more well-liked
than those who have been betrayed
And it's these things that hold you down
When they're supposed to
keep you safe and sound
And it's these things you claim to believe
Don't let them be the ones
you forever try to please
Look at you now/Look at you now
[Solo]
And it's these things that hold you down
When they're supposed to
keep you safe and sound
And it's these things you claim to believe
Don't let them be the ones
you forever try to please
4. LOVER'S LIE
Where'd you go
The leaves they move too fast
I was lost looking for your face
Did you go to catch the lover's lie
Or to move the stars and put them in place
Is there ever a dream of mine
you haven't heard
I'll keep running ahead of the race to
hope I put a sparkle in your eye
Did you know, when you move I breathe
I'd take blind destiny over empty space
As my friends slowly fade into ghosts
I hold on tighter and struggle for demands
Is there ever a dream of mine
you haven't heard
I'll keep running ahead of the race to
hope I put a sparkle in your eyes
[Solo]
Sparkle in your eye
Is there ever a dream of mine you-
oh you haven't heard
I'll keep running ahead of the race until
I put a sparkle oh
Is there ever a dream of mine you-
oh you haven't heard
I'll keep running ahead of the race until
I put a sparkle/sparkle in your eye
5. DESIRE ON REPEAT
It's all the same/Sex in the air
Your promises all the same
You'll be the one who will always care
But how can you promise the world
How can you promise your heart
When it's always searching...
But I'm just like you
I don't want to deny my heart
its chance to feel
I don't want to deny my soul
something real
Is there anything left in this world that
Will satisfy me
"Do you really love him" they'll say
Your second chances are
scribbled in the rules
But I think the consequence, it's just.
Something more feels so exciting now
And this black romance is so enticing
This desire is worth the fighting
But is it worth deciding that
I am just like you
I don't want to deny my heart
its chance to feel
I don't want to deny my soul
something real
Is there anything left in this world that
Will satisfy you and me
And it keeps repeating/it keeps repeating
And we keep believing/we keep believing
Disrupt the part of me
that needs some space
Repeat that look I see in your face
Reminds me of truth
Remind me of the reason for existing
Remind me of truth
Remind me of the reason for existing/Oh
6. IN THE QUIET
Do you see my eyes losing interest? Wondering about someone
always seems to take your place
Can lighting strike the same place twice
in my heart, as it does when you speak?
I need that fire to burn in me
Tell me, will it be
Disguising plans I've made before
Learning what I was made for
Desire is trampled by my faults
But somehow in the quiet you make sense
Can lighting strike the same place twice
in my heart, as it does when you speak?
I need that fire to burn in me
Tell me, will it be
Will you fall on me/Will you fall on me
Will you fall on me/Will you fall...
...like you did before?
Oh, you've watched me in my youth
When I thought you didn't need to
You knew best
7. IT'S ALL HAPPENING ON BROADWAY
If you lay me down in this mess
will I remember your name
When you come back calling for me
like you said you would
Do I trust your breath will sustain you
in all your long hours
Do I love your weakness enough
to see it as my strength
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
When everyone else has failed you
I am no more flattered
by your wandering eyes
Than I am by your softly broken lies
Oh the air is thick with betrayal
We search for devotion and
wind up settling for emotion
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
When everyone else
has failed u/has failed u/has failed u
You don't make me want to dance with u
You make me wanna
You make me wanna
Make me wanna run
and find something true
You make me want to
You make me want to
You make me want to
You make me want to
You make me want to
Oh to find something true/Something true
Someone like you/something
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
And you come back/and you come
Do you come back to me
Do you come back to me
And you come back/and you come back
8. STILL STANDING
They're building hate today
I see it in the eyes of every passing gaze
They're calling your name today
You've won/Congratulations
Say what you're supposed to say
Be safe/Make everyone feel comfortable
Call me out/Let me breathe again
Call me out/Let me see again
Breathe into me
the air you say you're not polluting
And flatter me/Tell me I am beautiful
That I'm the only one you care for
Make me believe that
all your good intentions
Will offset all the wrong you've done
Still I'll be screaming
Call me out/Let me breathe again
Call me out/Let me see again
You don't know all the wrong you've done
But we're still standing
We will cast our votes and not be afraid
We will not fall
Won't you call us out
giving us freedom again
Won't you call us out
giving us freedom again
9. REDEMPTION SOON
My eyes, they never sleep
My eyes, they torture me and
My heart it falls so fast
but it looks back/it looks back
My knees are getting weaker
each passing day/each passing day
With each word of disapproval my backbone falters oh
Could this be my ticket out of here
Could this be the one I'm dreaming of
Could this be redemption soon
I need redemption soon
Believe me when I say
I'm trying to make it just like you
Could you show some grace and
Fall back into my spell
Into my hell/Into my hell
Could this be my ticket out of here
Could this be the one I'm dreaming of
Could this be redemption soon
I need redemption soon
And you don't even know
where I come from anymore
It used to be so easy
Your provision doesn't even fall
on my land anymore
Conversation weakens in your eyes
Hoooh
Could this be my ticket out of here...
Could this be the one I'm dreaming of...
Could this be my ticket out of here
Could this be the one I'm dreaming of
Could this be
redemption soon
redemption soon
redemption soon
10. MOMENTS REWOUND
When I'm lost without a word to say
When I'm not the most intriguing
Will you stay
When I've called just to hear you say "hi"
Will you find me too needy and walk away
And I know
These are silly questions to ask you
Because you've proven to love me
Far beyond my faults
And I'll hold on to every conversation
If it could be our last
Because when you're not breathing
I beg for one more breath with you
When you're silent I hang on to every word
And there are no regrets with this love
Rewind to any moment you like/Sit back Remember I will always sit back with you
Oh how cool you wished to be
we were both so nervous
But at peace at the same time
knowing this was right
The time I moved in closely
for what you weren't expecting
Think on this/but don't miss
Don't long for the past
Long for what comes next
Because when you're not breathing
I beg for one more breath with you
When you're silent I hang on to every word
And there are no regrets with this love, no
Come away with life/Come away with love
With something better
Because when you're not breathing
I beg for one more breath with you
When you're silent I hang on to every word
And there are no regrets with this love, no
11. SAFE
Your eyes are nothing
I looked deep, knowing I was safe
And this memory will
never be erased/never be erased
No more/You put me in my place
No more/I would have liked a call
Outside of you calling out my faults
I would have liked to settle this
once and for all/for all/once and for all
No more/Would you have me crawl
No more
And this memory/It will never fade
And this memory/It will
never fade/never fade
You can cry in this bed alone
I won't cry with you anymore
You can lay in this grave you've made
I won't lay with you anymore
And it'll never be erased/No more
Just try put me in my place/No more
12. SONG FOUR, SIDE TWO
Dreamers stop here in hopes
they'll get the chance/of a lifetime ago
But I will not wait there
Drifters stop here and think
The way they've lived life with no plans
My decision is drawing near
Please lover find me
Though the seasons break us up
Branches break here in denial
Of what they once held up
The crisp air cuts my heart
"We'll breathe it in" they say, "live the life"
And as the snow falls, you no longer see
The light of who you could be
Please lover find me
Though the seasons break us up
Please lover remind me
That at the hand of the sea
It's you and me
[piano solo]
All the flowers slowly fade
All the leaves that long to change
Even in December, I’ll still be calling out
[guitar solo]
Please lover remind me
That at the hand of the sea
It's you and me
