The Burning Hour

Test Your Reflex The Burning Hour Lyrics
1.Black Hearts

Dirty street and dirty hands
A broken kid and a helpless man
All that they know given the barren land
A storefront clerk told me, 'Walk away,
You need not live this life of shame.'
I said, 'Hold on my friend, for you will find a way.'

You cannot break it, love will help you make it
Don't throw yourself in a burning fire
And when you come home, singing all your sad songs
Why don't you leave it in the water
For the friends and all the lovers tonight

Turning back I want to leave it again
Losing track I want to leave it again, leave it again
I'm running out
Alright

So tell me what's you weight in gold
Will it amount to what you made when the story's told, no
Don't turn your head, let all the people know

You cannot break it, love will help you make it
Don't throw yourself in a burning fire
And when you come home, singing all your sad songs
Why don't you leave it in the water
For the friends and all the lovers tonight

And when you feel like you're alone and no one's by your side
Open your hands, open your heart, and open your eyes
Although the flame is out, the answers have been left behind
So don't pretend you understand what you have yet to find
It's alright, yeah it's alright, c'mon

You cannot break it, love will help you make it
Don't throw yourself in a burning fire
And when you come home, singing all your sad songs
Why don't you leave it in the water

You cannot break it, love will help you make it
Don't throw yourself in a burning fire
And when you come home, singing all your sad songs
Why don't you leave it in the water
For the friends and all the lovers tonight


2.Do We Belong

She comes out in a stormy haze
Killing time in such a selfish way
You know that it's not right
So tell me love what can it be
A pretty sight for starving eyes to see
You know what you've done

And I don't wanna wait
And I don't wanna stay
But I don't wanna turn my back
It's never gonna change
I'll never feel the same, it's just a hopeless shade of black

And we will soon become
Weightless when we find out this is only one
Little fraction of our lives
And I won't believe that what I see
Is all the world has got for me
It's not the way I ever planned or ever wanted it to be
So do we belong

I've been up all through the night
Watching clouds as they pass through the light
I know it needs to change
But restlessness has pulled me in
And won't let go until I learn to live
I know I've done

And I don't wanna wait
And I don't wanna stay
But I don't wanna turn my back
It's never gonna change
I'll never feel the same, it's just a hopeless shade of black

And we will soon become
Weightless when we find out this is only one
Little fraction of our lives
And I won't believe that what I see
Is all the world has got for me
It's not the way I ever planned or ever wanted it to be
So do we belong

Do we belong, do we belong
Letting go, letting go just to see
Letting go, letting go set me free
Letting go, letting go just to see
Letting go, letting go set me free

And I won't believe that what I see
Is all the world has got for me
It's not the way I ever planned or ever wanted it, or wanted it
to be
Weightless when we find out this is...
Little fraction of our lives
Letting go
Weightless when we find out this is...
Little fraction of our lives


3.I Am Alive

What is true in life, we're shadows in disguise
Making our way through time
Everyday and night
And I wanna know how long
It takes until we find
What it is we need
To make us feel like;

All we do is not a lie,
And in the end we'll be alright
But for now I swear I'll try
I really should be happy
Cause I am alive tonight
Cause I am alive tonight

I've tried my best to lead, an honest life for me
But it split at the seams
Cause every time I close my eyes, and reach inside
The truth I need I cannot find
But as for now I swear I'll try

I really should be happy

Cause I am alive tonight
Cause I am alive tonight
Cause I am alive tonight
Cause I am alive tonight

And I can't lie
I can't lie... no
Alright

I said I am alive tonight
Cause I am alive tonight
Cause I am alive, alive, alive
Cause I am alive, alive, alive

I can't lie
I can't lie... no
I can't lie


4.I Know You're Lonely

Hello stranger
We haven't spoke in a while
It's been three years
And I forgot how to smile
I think I'm ready to find out why
It doesn't matter how hard I try
Cause every time I convince myself it's what I need
A darkness fills my eyes

I know you're lonely
I know you feel
There's only one way
For you to heal
But it's not gonna change a thing
If you always depend on me
Did you really expect I'd be the one
To pull you out of here
I can't erase the past, all that you fear

C'mon take me
Cause I got nowhere to go (I got nowhere to go)
And I'm helpless
And I want you to know (and I want you to know)
I think I'm ready to find out why
It doesn't matter how hard I try

Cause every time I convince myself it's what I need
A darkness fills my eyes

I know you're lonely
I know you feel
There's only one way
For you to heal
But it's not gonna change a thing
If you always depend on me
Did you really expect I'd be the one
To pull you out of here
I can't erase the past, all that you fear

And you've been asleep for days
Hanging around this place
Wondering if you will find the strength
To walk away
But it's not gonna change a thing
If you always depend on me
Did you really expect I'd be the one
To pull you out of here
To pull you out of here
To pull you out of here
To pull, to pull you out of here


5.I Won't Follow

It's getting pretty late
We spoke for just an hour and I don't feel that great
It's nothing that you said
It's just these pictures I don't wanna see
Keep running through my head
I know you never meant to, make me feel the way I do and
I never will desert you, but I cannot make you stay

No
So leave if you wanna leave
Change if you wanna change
Go where you wanna go
I won't follow
And love if you wanna love
Run if you wanna run
Go if you need to go
I won't follow you

I'm staring at the walls
Trying to convince myself that it is not my fault
But no one is to blame
Cause the fidelity of man is such a complicated game
The feelings of first love
They never really seem to last and
The spell that once drugged us has worn thin and
Soon will pass

So leave if you wanna leave
Change if you wanna change
Go where you wanna go

I won't follow
And love if you wanna love
Run if you wanna run
Go if you need to go
I won't follow you
No, you, no, you, you

And if you leave
Don't feel bad, time can't replace what we have
So don't regret
A single day
I'll always think of you when
All that's left is empty space
A void that I just can't escape
When nothing's left in me to take, no
Don't be scared I swear I'll make it

So leave if you wanna leave
Change if you wanna change
Go where you wanna go
I won't follow
And love if you wanna love
Run if you wanna run
Go if you need to go
I won't follow you
No
I said I won't follow you
No
I said I won't follow you


6.New Year

I'm running 'round in circles
Trying to find some peace of mind
Cause it's a lonely place when
All the we need we cannot find
Wait, wait cause I don't wanna be lost
Wait, wait cause I don't wanna be lost
And I don't wanna be the one to drag you down

Wait
For a new day, for a new year
I'll be standing on my own
In a new place, with my hands out
Looking for the answers

It's such a sweet solution
To close our eyes and walk in line
And all our contributions
Just seem to fade away with time
Wait, wait cause I don't wanna be lost
Wait, wait cause I don't wanna be lost
And I don't wanna be the one to drag you down

Wait
For a new day, for a new year
I'll be standing on my own
In a new place, with my hands out
Looking for the answers

Wait
For a new day, for a new year
I'll be standing on my own
In a new place, with my hands out
Looking for the answers

I cant stand here, waiting
With my hands out, for the ceiling
But I won't lie, I won't try
I can't walk such a straight line
And these bright lights, surround me
People are so friendly
But I won't lie, I won't try
I can't pretend that it's alright, no

Wait
For a new day, for a new year
I'll be standing on my own
In a new place, with my hands out
Looking for the answers

Write down your name
C'mon baby, write down your name
C'mon baby, write down your name
C'mon baby, write down your name


7.Painted Red

I wanna scream, scream, scream
Oh for this to end
I wanna let love flow, through my fingers and out of my hands
And I wanna let that love fill up the hearts of men
Stop making victims please, stop making victims of this land
Stop making victims please, stop making victims of this land

Because I wonder what will come of all we've made
Will time sit still, or will it change
Oh and if all that happens now is to remain
I think we best start
Counting down the days

I wanna scream, scream, scream
Oh so you can hear
The truth it covers you, don't shake it off
The picture's clear
It's painted red, red, all red and lined with tears boy
I know it's hard to see
When you're so consumed with fear
I know it's hard to see

When you're so consumed with fear oh

Because I wonder what will come of all we've made
Will time sit still, or will it change
Oh and if all that happens is to remain
I think we best start counting down the days
Cause everybody wants to turn their backs and pray
It all falls into place

Because I wonder what will come of all we've made
Will time sit still, or will it change
Oh and if all that happens now is to remain
I think we best start counting down the days
Cause everybody wants to turn their backs and pray
It all falls into place
But if all that happens now is to remain
I think we best start counting down the days

Counting down the days
Counting down the days


8.Pieces Of The Sun

I don't wanna be the one
I don't wanna be the one who tells you
That I don't know what I've become, or what I want to be
I know I'm always on the run
I'm always searching for the final moment
And I know that it will come
Yes I will be free, I will be free

Everything little thing I promised you I'll make it come true
I'm not ready to stop
What is love, little pieces of the sun
It's bound to touch you, if you're ready or not

It's getting harder everyday, as I listen to the conversations
I'm getting tired of this place
And I need to go, I need to go

Everything little thing I promised you I'll make it come true
I'm not ready to stop
What is love, little pieces of the sun
It's bound to touch you, if you're ready or not


All along I've tried to hide
Afraid that you would see right through me
All the pain and tears I've cried
I've never really told the story
Nothing's left to lose this time
I'm getting out the game is ending
Promise me at least you'll try, to do the same and leave with me

Everything little thing I promised you I'll make it come true
I'm not ready to stop
What is love, little pieces of the sun
It's bound to touch you, bound to touch you

To touch you (every little thing I promise you)
To touch you
To touch you (I'll make it come true)
Bound to touch you

To touch you (every little thing I promise you)
To touch you
To touch you (I'll make it come true)
Bound to touch you


9.Thinking Of You

I'd like to be, in a room just you and me
We'll talk our eyes to sleep
And when it's over and we part, you'll remain inside my heart
You see I can't forget your face, your face, your face

No.. No, oh, oh

C'mon, my love, it's you I'm thinking of
Each time, we kiss, your hand upon my fingertips and
It's not, that bad, just don't forget what we have
And time, won't mean a thing, cause I'll be thinking of you love

It's been three months and now you're running circles,
Deep inside my head
When I thought all the love inside of me was dead
So don't think twice my love, oh no, about how much you mean to
me
I'll say it one more time, so loud, so clear
You are the only one, the only one that's ever really listened
to me

You are the only one, the only one that's ever really mattered
to me
So don't you go (Don't you go)

C'mon, my love, it's you I'm thinking of
Each time, we kiss, your hand upon my fingertips and
It's not, that bad, just don't forget what we have
And time, won't mean a thing, cause I'll be thinking of you

Come now don't worry about the things you'll do next week
For just this once we can pretend, it's you and me
And everything the falls between the lines won't mean a thing
So take my hand, we'll run away
From everything, from everything, from everything from
everything

C'mon, my love, it's you I'm thinking of
Each time, we kiss, your hand upon my fingertips and
It's not, that bad, just don't forget what we have
And time, won't mean a thing, cause I'll be thinking of you love


10.This Year (If We Fall in Love)

And if we fall in love
Can you promise to keep your eyes shut
And we can see what we wanna see
It doesn't mean that much to me
And if we settle down,
And make a home in some new town
Will my, busy head begin to clear and
The loneliness just disappear
If so, I hope we fall in love this year

And if we fall in love
Can you promise to turn the lights off
And we can both fall asleep
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
And if you take my name
Does everything begin to change
Will you still enjoy the little things
You know it means so much to me

Don't be afraid if there's something that you wanna say

Please make it clear
Cause I really want to fall in love this year

Fall in love this year
To fall in love this year

And if we fall in love,
Can you promise to turn the lights off
And we can both fall asleep
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
And if you take my name
Does everything begin to change
Will my busy head begin to clear
And the loneliness just disappear
If so I hope we fall in love this year

Fall in love this year
I really hope we fall in love this year
