Athlete - Black Swan Lyrics
Athlete - Superhuman Touch Lyrics
I'm on fire
Nothing's gonna hold me back
Endless blue sky
And a pocketful of tricks to try
Athlete - Light The Way Lyrics
I was lost, oh no
And my heart beat with the stereo
As the sun rose in your eyes
You shot a look that killed me
Athlete - The Unknown Lyrics
Let your world be wide open
And your fears be blown apart
May your voice be louder than bombs
Somewhere in silence find one to trust
Athlete - Love Come Rescue Lyrics
Mother do you still love this child?
Baby on the run
Father would you forgive me now?
When you see what I have become
Athlete - Don't Hold Your Breath Lyrics
Don't hold your breath 'cause we're running in circles
Silence runs along phone lines
I feel like I am swimming through pavements
And then the dark throws me a lifeline
Athlete - The Gateway Lyrics
I never really know who you are
You could be a ghost for all I know whenever you're home
Picking up pieces of my heart
Like leaves that have fallen on our garden path
Athlete - Rubik's Cube Lyrics
The world is too heavy, too big for my shoulders
Come take the weight off me now
Thousands of answers to one simple question
Come take the weight off me now
Athlete - Black Swan Song Lyrics
I waded through the darkest fields you'd imagine
Your pretty face sketched on the barrel of my gun
And I know you'll be the first to welcome me
When I climb into eternity, oh, oh
Athlete - Black Swan Lyrics
I waded through the darkest fields you'd imagine
Your pretty face sketched on the barrel of my gun
And I know you'll be the first to welcome me
When I climb into eternity
Athlete - Awkward Goodbye Lyrics
My heart is a stone, you don't wanna go there
But I don't mind if you try
If you should go I'll be a soldier
But I can't fight without you
Athlete - Magical Mistakes Lyrics
You'll always be my pretty dancer
Spinning trails of fairy dust
Making moves like nobody else
On your own
