### Sigh No More (2009)

* Love that will not betray you, Dismay or enslave you, It will set you free. Be more like the man You were made to be. There is a design, An alignment to cry, At my heart you see, The beauty of love As it was made to be.
** Sigh No More, originally from Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing
* It's empty in the valley of your heart The sun, it rises slowly as you walk Away from all the fears And all the faults you've left behind.The harvest left no food for you to eat You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see But I have seen the same I know the shame in your defeat.
** The Cave
* Cause I need freedom now And I need to know how To live my life as it's meant to be.And I will hold on hope And I won't let you choke On the noose around your neck.And I'll find strength in pain And I will change my ways I'll know my name as it's called again.
** The Cave
* As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts Oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night? For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt.
** Winter Winds
* Roll away your stone, I’ll roll away mine; Together we can see what we will find. Don’t leave me alone at this time, For I am afraid of what I will discover inside.You told me that I would find a hole, Within the fragile substance of my soul And I have filled this void with things unreal, And all the while my character it steals.
** Roll Away Your Stone
* But you, you've gone too far this time You have neither reason nor rhyme With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine.
** Roll Away Your Stone
* How can you say that your truth is better than ours? Shoulder to shoulder, now brother, we carry no arms. The blind man sleeps in the doorway, his home. If only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy I could have won.
** I Gave You All
* Weep for yourself, my man, You'll never be what is in your heart Weep Little Lion Man, You're not as brave as you were at the start Rate yourself and rake yourself, Take all the courage you have left Wasted on fixing all the problems That you made in your own head.
** Little Lion Man
* But it was not your fault but mine. And it was your heart on the line. I really fucked it up this time. Didn't I, my dear?
** Little Lion Man
* Cold is the water It freezes your already cold mind Already cold, cold mind And death is at your doorstep And it will steal your innocence But it will not steal your substance.
** Timshel
* Spare me your judgements and spare me your dreams Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams. I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind, Alone in the wind and the rain you left me. It's getting dark darling, too dark to see; And I'm on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems.
** Thistle and Weeds
* Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall Lend me your eyes I can change what you see But your soul you must keep, totally free.
** Awake My Soul

### Babel (2012)

* I came home Like a stone. And I fell heavy into your arms. These days of dust Which we've known Will blow away with this new sun.And I'll kneel down, Wait for now. And I'll kneel down, Wait for now.And I will wait, I will wait for you.
** I Will Wait
* And in the middle of the night I may watch you go. There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I have grown. There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown. But I'll be yours if you'll be mine.
** Lover of the Light
