BLACKFIELD LYRICS

1. A Drop In The Ocean

2. Family Man

Breath in
Breath out
You had your shot you blew it all
Right now
Dead end
Your rescue team is miles away

People talk behind your back
In idle news become a clown
For those you despise, those you never count
They cheered you while you crashed

Chasing your dreams
Paying your bills
Here you go again
Definite sign
You are around
No it’s not a shame to be a family man

Stand still
Slow down
You had your shot you blew it all
Right now
Dead end
Your rescue team is miles away

Hard boy
Blank heart
How shallow can you get?
Stand still
Slow down
Where else can you go?

Chasing your dreams
Paying your bills
Here you go again
Definite sign
You are around
No it’s not a shame to be a family man

3. How Was Your Ride?

We're like the weather
You can't predict it
We never take the time
Heavy shackles
We can't move freely
We're leaving tracks on the ground
It's too late, so why pray now
You cynical bastard?
We all ate from your plate
So how was your ride?
Frozen moments
Your shadow's army
Will always give the command
It won't get better
Just string along
Until the curtain comes down
It's too late, so why pray now
You cynical bastard?
We all ate from your plate
So how was your ride?

4. We'll Never Be Apart

You're walking on a cloud
You held the perfect hat
When I'm dragging on the fire
But we'll never be apart

You're traveling around
I'm bleeding on the ground
It's just another day
But we'll never be apart

We'll never be apart

You harvest all you lack
I'm in a paranoid attack
Shivering inside
But we'll never be apart

You're juggling your guitar
Your crowd wants some more
While they're breaking through my door
But we'll never be apart

We'll never be apart

My music turns to glass
I saw every thing collapse
So I'll think of you
And we'll never be apart

We'll never be apart

5. Sorrys

You were born in the shade
Beautiful and pale
Your dad was always away

You gave birth in July
Since then my baby and I
Well, we hide away

Sorrys, seven years of sorrys
I was trying to catch your eye
Rolling into the river you were caught in
I saw you flowing and couldn't swim back

Well, now your silent spirit
It was too cold and shaking
Thought he saw you waving

I guess he wasn't ready
To be raised by someone unhappy
I took all the pain for him

Sorrys, seven years of sorrys
I was trying to catch your eye
Rolling into the river you were caught in
I saw you flowing and couldn't swim back

Sorrys, seven years of sorrys
I was trying to catch your eye
Rolling into the river you were caught in
I saw you flowing and couldn't swim back

You were born in the shade
Beautiful and pale
Your dad was always away

6. Life Is An Ocean

Life is an ocean
You got to swim.
Your eyes get salty
As you dive deep.

No clear through water.
Muddy bottle.
Life is an ocean.

Life is an ocean
You got to swim.
Your eyes get salty
As you dive deep.

No clear through water.
Muddy bottle.
No life juggling.
Far away.
Life is an ocean.

Life is an ocean.

7. Lately

Lately there's no one on your side.
It's a shame, it's a shame you lost your magic touch.
You feel unhappy,
there are shadows more than light
You can't think right.
You're losing fight
and taking one step back.

You're losing grip and bleeding loud.
Your high hopes fall apart
And you're the one to blame.

You try to make it through the night
but the creatures crawl and get you down
And there's no get away.

Lately our dancing with your lies
No one cares
No one dares to stare you in the eyes.
You're thinking maybe
It's just a phase your past
As you're standing in this empty hole
you're calling life.

You're losing grip and bleeding loud.
Your high hopes fall apart
And you're the one to blame.

You try to make it through the night
but the creatures crawl and get you down
And there's no get away.

Everywhere I go
all I find it's shadows.
Everywhere I go
all I find it's shadows in me, of me.

You're losing grip and bleeding loud.
Your high hopes fall apart
And you're the one to blame.

You try to make it through the night
but the creatures crawl and get you down
And there's no get away.

8. October

My happiness is buried in the sand
In the backyard of my life, I can't remember where
Think it was October's rain that watched me cry
No one else was around, my happiness

Diving to the bottom of the sea
To find the wild white pearls which hide from me
But only empty shells were lying there
Like my happiness, my happiness

And when you see me running
Don't assume I'm running, to somewhere I belong
And when you see me crying
Don't feel sorry for me

My happiness is like a snake
Slides below the wooden floor, to the darkest place
And just sits and waits 'til no one's there
Just like my happiness, my happiness

And when I see you smiling
I come to you, I'm trying
To steal your smile for me
I hate you when you're glowing
The way you're walking, between my tears

And when you see me running
Don't assume I'm running, to somewhere I belong
And when you see me crying
Don't feel sorry for me

So when I die and October comes
And the leaves stop falling down upon the ground
And when the rain will stop, you can be sure
I found my happiness...

9. The Jackal

Hold me back and never let go
There's a jackal who grows in the cold
Don't you trust a man with songs
I've gotta find a place of my own

I would say every word you can take
There's a jackal who growls in the cold
Any bed can keep my body warm
I've gotta find a place of my own

Sometimes you need someone to take away your pain
When you're falling down, you're looking up for help

I've got to go to the valley below
Untraceable, no one can reach
You should stay on this wide open road
On the wayside lay all your dead dreams

Sometimes you need someone to take away your pain
When you're falling down, you're looking up for help

But how?
How can I find you my true love one?
How can I notice when a true love comes?
How?

10. Salt Water

11. Undercover Heart

A victim of your desire
Walking through the flame
It burns you down
It burns you down

You draw a line and then cross it
To the other side
You've gone too far
You've gone too far

Have you seen it?
All your secrets are hunting you
It's too late, digging your lies for the truth
Your undercover heart beats for who?
You look so unhappy and blue

Another mistress stole your freedom
Grounded you
It's too late to awaken from your dream
All your sleepy plans end with tears
How will you sneak out from here?

The other day when I saw you
You looked so thin
It burns you down
It burns you down

Have you seen it?
All your secrets are hunting you
It's too late, digging your lies for the truth
Your undercover heart beats for who?
You look so unhappy and blue

Another mistress stole your freedom
Grounded you
It's too late to awaken from your dream
All your sleepy plans end with tears
How will you sneak out from here?

Have you seen it?

Have you seen it?
All your secrets are hunting you
It's too late, digging your lies for the truth
Your undercover heart beats for who?
You look so unhappy and blue

12. Lonely Soul

I'm a lonely soul

Everything is broken
Everything is chaos
Everything in me

13. From 44 to 48

Then between 13 and 17
I'd dreamed of all the things I'd be and how
I'd see you all from high on a mountain and know I could take it.

Then between 19 and 21
I knew one day that I'd become someone
And I'd stand up in front of a crowd and feel them adore me.

Then from 24 to 25
A girl I liked became my wife I tried,
It was harder than I'd ever imagined to keep all my dreams alive.

Then from 28 to 33
A new responsibility, a child.
And I worked hard to give her a home, to love and to shelter her.

Then from 44 to 48
I knew I'd left it far too late for sure.
To climb up the mountain 'cause time's always running away from me.
