Young Guns Mirrors (EP) Lyrics
1.Daughter Of The Sea

Seems I'm exposed*
Split in two a fault line cut right through me,
Between my heart and my feet,
There's an apathy that I can't find my way around,
But i can feel I'm getting nearer,
I know that soon i'll be delivered.

I'm overboard,
And I can't swim,
God only knows,
Why I let you in,
You and me,
And the siren songs you sing,
I'm coming home

Man I'm deep,
I'm drifting lost within myself,
Cos I'm in league,
I'm in a tryst with the daughter of the sea,
And she will have her way with me,

I'm overboard,
And I can't swim,
God only knows why I let you in,
You and me,
And the siren songs you sing,
You've taken hold over me,

The anchor in my chest,
Begs me to stop,
Rest my limbs and go to sleep,
And as the waves crash down,
My ears ring with the sound,
The promise of the deep,

So say what you mean,
OR don't say anything,
Cos all I really want,
Is a place to close my eyes,

I'm overboard,
And I can't swim,
God only knows,
Why I let you in,
You and me,
And the siren songs you sing,
So let the waves rush over me.


2.The Weight Of The World

A continent of doubt weighs heavy on mind*
How long can my brittle bones bend,
Before they yield and snap?

I don't wanna know, 'cos i'm so scared,
It's not gonna get easier than this
Because it's too much to bear my darling, the weight of the
world,
And I would carry it for you,
But please don't ask me to because the
Weight of the world is a burden i can't bear.
Is a burden i can't bear.

Maybe it's gravity, that pulls her to my chest,
Not the fear that she is the source of what little strength I've
got left,

I don't wanna know, 'cos i'm so scared,
It's not gonna get easier than this
Because it's too much to bear my darling, the weight of the
world,
I would carry it for you,
But please don't ask me to because the
Weight of the world is a burden I can't bear.

My horizon lies a jagged line,
Oh O can clearly see,
The mountains that i've yet to climb,
I'll get there if it kills me.

Because its too much to bear my darling,
The weight of the world,
And I would carry it for you,
But please don't ask me to because the
Weight of the world is a burden I can't bear.
Is a burden I can't bear.
And I would carry it for you,
But please don't ask me to,
Because the
Weight of the world,
Is a burden i can't bear.


3.There Will Be Rain

When I was a kid*
I filled bottles with messages of hope,
Now we kept clutching broken glass,
'Cos all my questions have been answered by a flood,
Even those I never asked.

All the storms that I've seen,
Are countless reasons not to believe.
But I know, that as long as there will be rain,
There will be clear skies after.

Every day under the sky,
I stood arms raised in imitation,
Watching birds in flight,
And now I'm older,
Youth has past me by,
But I keep reaching 'til I get what's mine.

All the storms, that I've seen,
Are countless reasons not to believe.
But I know, that as long as there will be rain,
There will be clear skies after.

No matter how far I go (far I go)
I know that you are by my side (by my side)
Together we'll see this through (see this through)
There's silence in our lives.

All the storms, that I've seen,
Are countless reasons not to believe,
But I know, that as long as there will be rain,
There will be clear skies after.

There will be rain,
There will be clear skies after.
There will be rain,
There will be clear skies after.


4.In The Night

Balanced, on the edge of a knife*
In love with the night,
So I'll ignore the cracks in the ice.
And I'll raise my glass,
Sing a toast to the end of all things baby,
'Cos daylight won't wait for me.

Oh, what has become of me?
Turn the lights out 'cos I don't want to see,
What I've become.

I'm condemned to walk the night,
And I don't care,
No I don't care.
'Cos in the morning light,
The mirror lies,
'Cos I'm not there
No, I'm not there.

Now I'm, become destroyer of worlds,
At the very least my own,
So I'll sit on the tracks and I'll wait.
And I'll raise my glass,
Sing a toast to the end of all things baby,
But I'm drinking alone.

Oh what has become of me?
Turn the lights out cos I don't want to see,
What I've become.

I'm condemned, to walk the night,
And I don't care,
No I don't care.
'Cos in the morning light,
The mirror lies,
'Cos I'm not there
No I'm not there.

You, you are the sun,
And if you are the sun,
You can keep me in the dark.

What have I become?
Horns where there were none before.
What have I become?
Horns where there were none before.
So just leave me in the dark.

What have I become?
Horns where there were none before.
What have I become?
Horns where there were none before.
