Flickering Stars Evan Rhys
Shadows fall across your wall
The twilight makes your room feel small
Where are you now?
Whispers echo 'round your brain
That people only know your name
Who are you now?
Don't let the dark night hide
The flickering stars
Don't let the rain drown out
The sound of your beating heart
Your golden hour comes just before the night
(It's hard for me or anyone to find you
So let this melody of truth remind you)
Your worth is not determined by your thoughts
(It's hard for me or anyone to find you
So let this melody of love inspire you)
As people pass you on the street
Their coloured lives
Wash past your feet
Where are you now?
If you would only see the truth
That your own colour sparkles too
In who you are now
Your golden hour comes just before the night
(It's hard for me or anyone to find you
So let this melody of truth remind you)
Your worth is not determined by your thoughts
(It's hard for me or anyone to find you
So let this melody of love inspire you)
It’s not over
Brave this fight
On summer days
Or winter nights
Even if you run away
Hope’ll come running
After you
It’s not over
Feeling’s lie
Lift your head
The light still shines
Even if you run away
Hope’ll come running
After you

Truly Free Evan Rhys
I used to compare myself
To the sound of somebody else
Trapped by the lie that I’d
Fall on my feet
When I did
But comparing got me nowhere
It’s a wide and empty pit
You’ve got to listen to your own music
And not the discourse in your head
I’m on my knees
I’ll lift my hands to the heavens
I’m on knees
I’ll raise my voice and I’ll sing
I’m on my knees
The world belongs to those who are broken
I'm on my knees
Cause when you’re broken, you’re truly free
I used to wish I’d possess
All the gifts of
Another man
But I always failed
Cause those gifts he possessed
Were not mine
But comparing got me nowhere
It’s a wide and empty pit
I learned to listen to my own music
And not the discourse in my head
I’m on my knees
I’ll lift my hands to the heavens
I’m on knees
I’ll raise my voice and I’ll sing
I’m on my knees
The world belongs to those who are broken
I'm on my knees
Cause when you’re broken, you’re truly free

Skyline Evan Rhys
I used to see the world
Skyline in blazing colour
I’d feel the light
Before the dawn
I used to see goodbyes
As signs of new beginnings
But now I grieve
For all that’s gone
But tonight
You stay by my side
My heart beats out of time
Sunrise in your eyes
It’s not over, it’s not over
Tonight
Sometimes
When I try to run
Well my legs won’t move
And my breath is short
Can I get some
Help
And I try to find
A little piece of mind
And I look for you
Cause you’re the only one
But tonight
You stay by my side
My heart beats out of time
Sunrise in your eyes
It’s not over, it’s not over
Tonight
Oh oh oh oh oh
It’s not over
It’s not over tonight
Ah ah ah ah ah
It’s not over
It’s not over tonight

Wonder Evan Rhys
You’ve always been a picture
You’ve always been a star
You’ve always been a wonder
Now I wonder where you are
Is there not now space
For two of us
Is there not now room
Where did I go wrong
Is there not now space
Are you through with us
All that's left of you
Are lines within this song
I always walked beside you
Love always led the way
And your hand, it felt like sunshine
Now sunshine feels like rain
Is there not now space
For two of us
Is there not now room
Where did I go wrong
Is there not now space
Are you through with us
All that's left of you
Are lines within this song
Don't get me wrong
I'm not holding on
To yesterday
Don't get me wrong
Our love was strong
It still remains
Is there not now space
For two of us
Is there not now room
Where did I go wrong
Is there not now space
Are you through with us
All that's left of you
Are lines within this song
You won’t find me
On empty streets
Shuffling soles
Echo pavement beats
You won’t find me looking down
I had so much in
This love we found
You won’t find me
Wishing I
Could take back this love
We plied
Even after all these years
I still feel you here
