So, here are October Projects lyrics. All songs are written by Julie Flanders and Emil Adler and I'm sure they're copyrighted by someone somewhere... By the way, October Project were: Mary Fahl, Marina Belica, David Sabatino, Emil Adler, Julie Flanders, and Urbano Sanchez.
Bury My Lovely
Cover the mirror
A picture worth a thousand lies
A picture worth a thousand lies
Bury my lovely
Cover the madness
A figure in the hallway light
A picture worth a thousand lies
Bury my lovely
Bury my lovely
A shadow from another time
Bury my lovely
Ariel
My name is Ariel
The day is breaking now
Let the wind and ocean water
The sky has fallen
I love you
Let the wind and ocean water
Let the wind and ocean water
My name is Ariel
Where You Are
Floating like the summer sunshine
Nothing but a blue horizon
Where you are
Shining like a summer rainbow
Floating in a summer memory
Where you are
Falling in a summer daydream
Where you are
A Lonely Voice
I keep looking back
I can hear the echo
I keep looking back
I can hear the echo
As I stare ahead
I can hear the echo
Eyes of Mercy
Hush, close your eyes
Don't be afraid
When the soft face of mercy
Hide in my arms
When the soft eyes of mercy
I'll be here
Return to Me
You rise like a wave in the ocean
You shine like the moon over water
Everything I tell you has been spoken
I am here calling the wind
I know what it means to be lonely
I am here
Wall of Silence
I've seen that life
I thought of us
There's a wall of silence
I moved ahead
There's a wall of silence
Take Me As I Am
Take me as I am
Take me while you can
Take me as I am
Take me while you can
Leave the shadows dancing
There's a place where fear won't find you
Everything you have inside you
Take me as I am
Take me while you can
Leave the shadows dancing
Now I Lay Me Down
Out of the silence
You finally remember where you've been
Out of the spirit
Now I lay me down
Out of the fire
Now I lay me down
Now I lay me down
Always
I have come to
If you gave me nothing
Always
If you had to leave me
Always
Path of Desire
I have traveled the path of desire
I am the fly who dreams of
In you eyes
I am crossing the bridges of sorrow
In your eyes
I have traveled the paths of desire
In your eyes
Be My Hero
Sleep with the windows open
Be without being lonely
I want something
Keep what is secret
I want something
See how we measure a feeling
I want something
Hide in your dreams
Forget what they told you
Forget what it means
The memory and the mirror
Nothing but what came before
Nothing but a closing door
A thousand words
A thousand eyes
Hide in your room
Bury my lovely
Forget me soon
Forget me
Forget me now
Forget me not
Cover the fear
No one will ever
Know you were here
Returning like a ghost
Something that was left behind
Something in a child's mind
>
A thousand words
A thousand eyes
Hide in your room
Bury my lovely
Forget me soon
Forget me
Forget me now
Forget me not
Bury the lies
Bury me under
A thousand good-byes
Is waiting in the night
Something happened long ago
Something that will not let go
Hide in your room
Bury my lovely
Forget me soon
Forget me
Forget me now
Forget me not
And I want to be free
It is your sorrow
That has made a slave of me
Forgive me
But you are all I know
Forgive me for leaving
It's time to go away
I'm so afraid to leave
But more afraid to stay
Forgive me
For leaving
The sadness in your eyes
Forgive me
Wash across your hands
Wash away a thousand footsteps
Wash us all away
Like sand
Now the earth is dry and torn
I know you're tired
From the violence of the storm
I love you
But you are all I know
Forgive me
Wash across your hands
Wash away a thousand footsteps
Wash us all away
Wash across your hands
Wash away a thousand memories
Wash us all away
Like sand
We are flying
We are blue
Falling like a summer raindrop
Like a teardrop
Like the dew
All around us like a glove
Feeling it go on forever
Far below us
Far above
Do you know I thin of you
Where you are
Do you know
I hope you do
We are colors
We are bright
Vanishing into the sunshine
Like a river made of light
I can see you in my mind
Know it goes on forever
Far beyond us
Far behind
Do you know
I think of you
Where you are
Do you know
I hope you do
I remember what I knew
Nothing that I can't hold on to
Or return to
Even you
Do you know
I think of you
Where you are
Do you know
I hope you do
A lifetime back
Across the desert
In a desert where no one can explain
You tell me God is dancing in the rain
In a maze of words
A lonely voice behind a door
Can you hear me calling
From a world away
A lonely voice behind a door
Traditions back
Across the centuries
In a century where no one can explain
You tell me God is dancing in the rain
In a maze of words
A lonely voice behind a door
Can you hear me calling
From a world away
A lonely voice behind a door
A dream ahead
Across the ocean
Cross an ocean where there's nothing to explain
You tell me God is laughing in the rain
In a maze of words
A lonely voice behind a door
Can you hear me calling
From a world away
A lonely voice
Behind a door
And I'll keep you safe
Allow you to weep
And sing you to sleep
Remember I'm here
The noise in the street
Will soon disappear
Is lost behind a veil
I will stay with eyes open
Stay here with eyes open
To watch over you
And take away the sadness
And the fear
And dream golden dreams
Forgetting the world
Of man and machines
Are blinded by teh dark
I will stay with eyes open
Stay here with eyes open
To watch over you
And take away the sadness
And the fear
And you fall gently back to the sea
Now I want to know how to hold you
Return to me
And you darken the sky when you leave
Now I want to know how to keep you
Return to me
Turn to me
And everything I say was said before
But everything I feel is for the first time
And everything I fell, I feel for you
I am here calling your name
I am here calling you back
Return to me
And I know what it means to be free
Now I want to know how to love you
Return to me
Return to me
Touches us with pain
And we change
Becoming strangers to our friends
Tell me what happens along the way
Hard to talk these days
Did we change
Or were we strangers all along
Tell me what caused us to turn away
Miles across
A wall between us
Holding back
Holding back our loss
Thinking you'd be there
But it changed
And now we're strangers to our past
How did I lose you along the way
Miles across
A wall between us
Holding back
Holding back our loss
I've seen that life
Touches us with pain
And we change
Becoming strangers to ourselves
Tell me what happens along the way
How did I lose you along the way
Someone you don't know
Even in the dark
You may not be sure
I can see you standing in the smoky entrance
Giving up your good intentions
Leave the shadows dancing
Dancing on their own
Let the moment free you now
Leave it all behind you
I'll know where you've gone
Let the world go on
I may disappear
Fade into the night
Lighter than you thoughts
Never knowing who or what you are until you're
Living with the unfamiliar
Dancing on their own
Let the moment free you
Leave it all behind you
I'll know where you've gone
Let the world go on
Where your secret dreams remind you
This is all you have to know and
This is all you have to go on
Everything you need to guide you
This is all you have to know and
This is all you have to go on
Someone you could know
Even as we speak
You could change your mind
Even if you shine a light into the mirror
You won't see me any clearer
Dancing on their own
Let the moment free you now
Leave it all behind you
I'll know where you've gone
Let the world go on
Into the blue
You finally remember who you are
And you remember the light
Into the flesh
The animal heartbeat in the chest
The naked desire
The appetite
But you remember the light
To dream
Into the night
Communion of body into smoke
Human and sacred
The sacrifice
You will remember light
To dream
To dream of light
Know you
Over all these years
We've seen many days
Come and go
After all the time we've shared
All the secrets told
Will you ever say I love you
Nothing more than this
I would have the memory to keep
Let me make a simple wish
As we fall asleep
Let me wake with you by my side
Leave me with a kiss
Tell me how you feel without words
Are you so afraid to stay
Must you be alone
Let me wake with you by my side
Gathering flowers and
Carrying fire
Raising a grave to the
Reasons behind me
Looking for strength as you
Live to remind me
I'm drawn to you
I'm caught in you
The spider
The path to the web
Becomes deeper and wider
I dream of the silk that is
Tangled inside you
And know that I want to be
Somewhere beside you
I'm drawn to you
I'm caught in you
All the promises
All the lies
Will you keep all of the promises
In your eyes
Empty with yearning and full of tomorrow
The river is high and the bridges are burning
I know I've been hurt but I keep on returning
I'm drawn to you
I'm caught in you
All of the promises
All the lies
Will you keep all the promises
In your eyes
Following smoke and remembering fire
The night is falling, the path is receding
I don't need to see it to know where it's leading
All of the promises
All the lies
Will you keep all of the promises
In your eyes
Sleep till tomorrow
Be my hero
Try to open
We try to open
Hoping for a hero
I want everything
I want nothing
Nothing else
I want someone
Not just anyone
Be my hero
Secret
We can believe it
Be my hero
I want everything
I want nothing
Nothing else
I want someone
Not just anyone
Be my hero
From a distance
See how we measure people
Into to zero
I want everything
I want nothing
Nothing else
I want someone
Almost anyone
Deep As You Go
Deep as you go I'll follow
Deep as the water goes
All the world is hollow and dry
But you and I go down
You and I go down
Far as you want to take me
Far as your eyes can see
Leave the world alone in the sky
You and I go free
You and I are free
Don't save me
Don't lose me
Don't wake me now
You left me
You release me
Let me drown
Take me down
Promise to take me with you
Promise to let me go
All the world is waiting to see
As you and I go down
You and are free
Don't save me...
I want to be completed
I want to disappear
I want to be uncovered
Take me down
Take me down
Let me drown
Somehow I need to love you
More than I need to breathe
I can feel you leaving the ground
I will follow down
You and I will drown
Don't save me...
Something More Than This
In the shadow cast as you were leaving
In the beauty of the ending day
There is always something to return to
Something you allow
To slip away
In the empty corners of the evening
In the vacant beauty of the wind
There is always something to remember
Something to remember
To begin
I need no shelter
I need no guide
I'll be alone on this long dark ride
Tonight
Whatever you fear
Whatever you hide
Whatever you carry deep inside
There's something more than this
Whatever you love
Whatever you give
Whatever you think you need to live
There's something more than this
In the shadow cast as you were leaving
In the beauty of the ending day
There is always something to believe in
Something as I watch you
Slip away
I need no shelter
I need to no guide
I'll be alone on this long dark ride
Tonight
Whatever you fear...
Sunday Morning Yellow Sky
At the broken heart of the city
Where the hollow light of day never reaches
A man can break down and fall into pieces
He will fall asleep like a baby
And the unforgiving arms of the cradle
Rock
As hard as the face of the city pavement
Hide your eyes
He can see the face of a lover
In the lonely face of the angel above him
Carved into the stone that is changing around him
He can feel her breathing inside him
And the unforgiving visions deny him
Life
Can only be what a man can make it
Hide your eyes
Sunday morning
Yellow sky
The sun is floating diamond high
Hours passing
A baby cries
In the arms of someone you imagine
Close your eyes
This is your lullaby
He can feel his skin like a prison
Like a dying cage he struggles to live inside
He tries to call out but nobody hears him
At the ragged edge of the silence
In the calm that only comes with the violent
Sleep
Inside the heart and the hope of redemption
Hide your eyes
In the arms of someone you imagine
Close your eyes
This is your lullaby
Adam and Eve
Only ever reall one story
A boy and a girl
And a dream of the world
An apple, a kiss, a moment of sky
The moment you choose
Without knowing why
Burning like a fever inside you
The heat of your skin
And the taste of your lips
A shadow, a storm, a darkening sky
The reason you live
The secret you hide
And God said
The reason had hung from the tree
But I feel the reason hanging on me
I am free of my innocence
Falling too far
I am helpless to change
I am hopelessly lost
I am all that you are
I've fallen from all I know
To keep you here
I need you here
I wonder how far to go
Without you here
Only ever really one story
A boy and a girl
And the end of the world
A secret, a kiss, a hole in the sky
The reason you fall
The moment you fly
And God said...
Johnny
There was Johnny like a stranger
Living in a small town
Measuring the small time
He was thinner than a razor
Johnny in a small town
Living with his thumb on the trigger
Wishing he could e
Just a little bit bigger
Bored
To the heart of himself
He was trouble in the making
Trouble in the keeping
History repeating
He was walking into danger
Johnny in a small town
Looking for a light in the tunnel
Creeping in the dark
And doubting that the sun will
Shine
To the heart of himself
And he tells himself
It'll be all right
Happiness is just around the corner
And he tells himself
It'll be okay
Happiness is just a life away
She was pretty as a picture
Shining in a window
Everybody said so
What did Johnny have to give her
Johnny in a small town
Putting on the suit he had borrowed
Knowing she would probably leave him tomorrow
Leave
Him alone with himself
And he tells himself...
Everything is different
But it's all the same to him
Everything is nothing like it was
Before she came
Before she stayed
And went away
She left Johnny like a stranger
Waiting in a small town
Measuring the small time
Nights were longer than the days were
Living in a small town
Looking for a door he could open
Hoping he wouldn't break until he'd broken
Free
To the heart of himself
And he tells himself...
Funeral in His Heart
He had a dream
Haunting him at night
It would fly into his hands
So he tried to cage it
But he only made it fly away
He heard a song
It was running through his mind
It was singing from the past
So he tried to sing it
But he found he could not make it last.
The world is falling apart
He's getting older
And there's a funeral in his heart
He was alone
With a picture of his life
On the outside looking in
So he tried to change it
But he lost the person he had been
The world is falling apart...
Thunder moving under the mountain
Thunder in his dreams
Hoping that there must be a word
For everything he means
He had a love
It was keeping him alive
It was someone else ago
So he tried to hide it
But he knew he'd never let it go
The world is falling apart...
After the Fall
In a city of faces
That never look back
Where doors never open
And eyes never meet
Someone behind me was tracing my steps
As I ran
Through the fog down a cobblestone street
In a city of crossroads
That never lead home
Where secrets unravel
And fates intertwin
Someone was calling my name in the night
As I ran
From a voice that was echoing mine
The farther you run
The more you recall
The loss of your innocence
After the fall
The farther you run
The more you recall
After the fall
In a city of magic
That spins out of time
Where God has no image
And Man finds no grace
Something inside me was seeking itself
As I ran
From a shadow who'd stolen my face
The farther you run...
One Dream
In this dream of life and death
I know so much I will forget
I know your body and your breath
I know your rhythm and your touch
I want you here
I want so much
I fear too much
Far too human to let go
I fight the river and the flow
I fight the love and the fear
I do not want to leave you here
In one body you appear
In this dream
I dream
And I still want to much
To touch the inside
I dream
And I still want to stay
Inside this dream with you
Now I know
That every dream begins with you
And ends in time
Now I know
That maybe I am too alive
If I could speak in tongues of flame
I'd burn forever with your name
And take it with me through all time
I would remember who you are
In every life I'd touch your heart
In ever dream
I dream...
Dark Time
What dark time is coming
What dark time is here
The prophet emerges
In garments of fear
He calls to his people
To come to the feast
They gather unto him
To wait for release
Alleluia
Remember the warnings
Forget what you're told
The heart of the temple
Is hollow and cold
The face of the prophet
Is tired and creased
He raises his cup
And falls to his knees
Come take my body
Come take my soul
Come take me over
I want to be whole
Come take my body
Come take my soul
We stand in a circle
We stand in a square
The power of numbers
The power of prayer
The churches are empty
The priest has gone home
And we are left standing
Together alone
Come take my body...
Come rhythm
Come silence
Come into our shame
The fear has no heart
And fear has no name
Come sing alleluia
Come sing domine
Come sing alleluia
Come sing
Come take my body..
Falling Farther In
Take me past this lonely truth
And let me go beyond my skin
The walls that held me here before
Have no purpose anymore
Let me enter in
Break me from my injured past
And make me over in your arms
The pain that guided me before
Has no comfort anymore
Let me enter in
From far away
I hear my mother crying
The sky is gray
They say the earth is dying
I hear her voice
And still I make a choice to stay
I leave a life behind me
I feel myself begin
I'm reaching out to keep you
Falling farther in
I feel the light inside me
You go beyond my skin
I'm reaching out to keep you
Falling farther in
Wake me with your dark embrace
And make me open in your arms
I want to lose myself within
Leave the person I have been
Let me enter
From far away
I hear my mother crying
I hear her voice
And still I make a choice to stay
I leave a life behind me...
If I Could
If I could
I would always tell the truth
I would always love you
From the heart
If I could
I would take you in my arms
Take you inside
Into my heart
If I could
I would be the place you turn
When you're feeling lonely
Or afraid
I would shine
Like a lantern in the dark
Take you inside
Into my heart
When you feel as if
You don't know who you are
I'll remind you with my love
If I could
I would always keep you safe
Take you inside
Into my heart
When you feel as if
You simply can't go on
I'll remind you that you're strong
If I could
I would love you as you are
Take you inside
Into my heart
Into my arms
Into my life
