The Getaway Plan Requiem Lyrics
1.The Reckoning

Where have you gone?
Like a rabbit down a hole.
I can't find you now and I don't think I ever will.
Is it all in vain?
Is there a heart beneath the skin?
The truth remains; All you need is hope and you can make it.

Where have you gone?
I'm like a child without a soul.
I've got no one else, and I don't think I ever will.
There's something about the way you move.

This is the reckoning, the fight before the tide rolls in.
This is the reckoning and time wont wait for anything.

Where have you gone?
Like a rabbit down a hole.
I'd cut my wings, if I could only have control.
Was it all in vain?
Was there a heart beneath the skin?

The truth remains; All you need is hope and you can make it back
to where you once belonged.
The people that are holding on to everything they saw in you.


2.Phantoms

We are the beasts under your bed, we're so inviting.
We are the lost, we are the dead and we're here to make sure
you're aware.

We are the ghosts outside your door, creeping in slowly.
We are the guy you're looking for; yeah we have all the answers
you need.

But phantoms come and phantoms go
We are the soldiers of the night and still stand strong
So keep holding on

We are the voices in your head, when you need silence.
We are the lost, we are the dead and we're here to make sure
you're aware.

But phantoms come and phantoms go.
We are the soldiers of the night and still stand strong.
We'll pick you up, just to watch you fall.
So take the light that's from our eyes and prove us wrong
And keep holding on.

We are the ones who keep you up, when you are sleeping.
We are a force that won't be stopped, but hold on and you'll
make it I swear.

But phantoms come and phantoms go.
We are the soldiers of the night and still stand strong.
We'll pick you up, just to watch you fall.
So take the light that's from our eyes and prove us wrong.

But phantoms come and phantoms go.
We are the soldiers of the night and still stand strong.
So keep holding on.
So keep holding on.


3.Flying Colours

I've been spending my days in limbo,
contemplating searching for a better way,
but I know that I am over you.

When you're living in purgatory, life gets boring,
trying to keep your head up,
but I know that I am over you.

I know that I am over you.

Well, I passed all your tests with flying colours.
You would rather depart with all your lovers.
If you cant see a thing, all I can do is sing,
and try and make you recognize that I am not just a friend I am
your brother.
I refuse to be treated like your mother.
I'm finding it hard to be the bigger man
when all you do is fuel the fire between us.
All you do is fuel the fire within

If we make it through the weekend
We can make it through the year
And when things begin to heat up
I will take the wheel and steer

If you don't believe the whispers
You know I will be your mirror
You don't know the things I've seen

We have taken the time to get to acquainted
But all of that time was fucking wasted
For as long as you live, I cannot forgive
the things that you have put me through alone


4.Move Along

They've been carving your name out in stone
Building stairways to lead you home
Though there's room up above, I can tell you my love
That I won't let you go

There's a place in my heart where my courage is kept
And I'm keeping it there until my mind is at rest
It's the one bit of power that I still have left in me

This room is like a cage
I've been stuck in here for days
Searching deep inside my mind
Just to find a better place
And I'm waiting for you
To pick up the pieces and move along

There's a place on a street, in a town that I know
Where the earth doesn't move and the grass doesn't grow
There's a chill in the air that goes straight to your bones
I've got my hands in the ground and I'm digging you up


5.February

You are the stars,
looking down on the world from afar.
You will shine through the night.
An eternal beacon of light
Yeah you are the sun,
beaming life in to everyone.
You will light up the sky
till the day that the universe dies.

Don't fall asleep, the night has only started.
There's time to keep and we are only young.
If we kiss, we'll ignite.
We could set this whole damn world alight.
And everything we know would burn away

You are the trees,
making oxygen so I can breathe
Over time you will rise,
with your branches sturdy and wide.
And you are the earth
and I'll tell you for what it is worth
That your core is alive,
it's my only chance to survive

Don't fall asleep, the night has only started.
There's time to keep and we are only young.
If we kiss, we'll ignite.
We could set this whole damn world alight.
And everything we know would burn away

And if you love me then please let me know
Cause I believe that my heart is your home.
But then when February comes, I hope that you know.
I hope that you know that I'll hold you close.

Don't fall asleep, the night has only started.
There's time to keep and we are only young.

Don't fall asleep, the night has only started.
There's time to keep and we are only young.
If we kiss, we'll ignite.
We could set this whole damn world alight.
And everything we know would burn away


6.Coming Home

If the truth is hard to carry,
And you feel like letting go.
Open up your heart, open up your mind.
If you feel a little weary,
And you hold a heavy soul.
Open up your heart, open up your mind.

I can't believe I'm coming home.
I can't believe I'm coming home.
I can't believe I'm coming,
With all of you here by my side.

Imagine we are older.
It's easy if you try.
Open up your heart, open up your mind.
And if only we were wiser,
And time was on our side.
Open up your heart, open up your mind.

I can't believe I'm coming home.
I can't believe I'm coming home.
I can't believe I'm coming,
With all of you here by my side.

But way long, it's been so long now.
Would somebody please help me get to where I'm going.
And know oh, I'm so much stronger now.
I'm finally where I belong.

I can't believe I'm coming home
I can't believe I'm coming... back home


7.S.T.A.R.S

Look up at the mess you've made.
Such a mess you've made for us.

Did you know, that the souls you take,
and the hearts you break, are lost.

So, find a place to die with honour,
or find a place to die alone.

Take a look at what's at stake here,
make the choice and burn your throne.

We are moving onward,
we are pushing forward,
far beyond your reach,
and we know,
we can always find you,
haunted by the madness that you preach.

Now look down at the forest fire,
burning through the night for so long.

Don't be scared. Don't be in denial.
Been here for a while, I know.

But I was never enough.
No I could never measure up.
But I will love again,
and I will breathe again.

It doesn't matter where you are,
When you look up at the stars.
You can forget all that you know,
and let the spirits guide you home.
And even when the sun is gone
You'll find the strength to carry on.


8.Heartstone

I have never lived,
I have never loved,
I have never known the truth.
And my eyes are set on you

I have never dreamt,
I have never tried,
I have never known the truth.
And my eyes are set on you

If I can't figure you out, then nobody will.
If only you could learn to feel.

You live without love,
you live without lust,
you live without trial,
you live without trust,

You will never be alone.

I have never seen,
I have never heard,
I have never known the truth.
And my eyes are set on you.

I have never bled,
I have never bruised,
I have never known the truth,
And my eyes are set on you.

It won't be too long until the end of the road,
for as long as you're here, all that glitters is gold.


9.Oceans Between Us

There is a place that I remember, where we were sheltered from
our sins.
We were the only ones allowed there, the safest place we've ever
been.

There was a time where I could hold you, and we would watch the
whole world spin.
We used to lay and talk for hours, and wouldn't let the daylight
in.

After this fades we falter and discover,
that everything gold will stay.

We'll find our way back to one another,
one of these days.

There was a time when we were strangers, and such a love could
not exist.
Now I look back and can't help wonder, about the love that we
have missed.

There's no point in looking backwards,
when there are oceans between us.
Just be still and your call will be answered,
and when I'm home, we can spread our wings again.


10.Child Of Light

I've been wandering around the hills tonight
In this kingdom, is where my heart resides.

I know I must be dreaming, and none of this is real.
A fire inside says otherwise, and burns on through the fields.

The scenery around me is splitting at the seams.
And through the cracks a light escapes and shines all over me.

I've been wandering, around the hills tonight.
In this kingdom, is where my soul divides.

All of this is fleeting. I'm only passing through.
And underneath the spinning lights, a twisted point of view.

I walk on through the valley. A shadow over me.
And in the big fluorescent sky a voice begins to sing,

'I'm a child of light' and 'I can see for miles'.


11.Requiem

Somewhere along the road to your house,
you took a wrong turn and abandoned yourself.
Sailing solo through the night

You say that you are a child of the world,
but can you build bridges with some other girl?
Do you believe in freedom son?

Do you remember, no matter the weather,
you'd hide out, and dance through the rain in the dark?
Do you still believe in love?

When the journey begun, your heart was sincere.
Now you say a heart is a burden to bare.
Dragging me with you through the sand.

You say that time will heal all of our wounds.
What I wouldn't give for a day in your shoes.
Do you believe in privilege son?
