  1. Cast away the shadows of your heart

    Chase away the shadows of your heart

  2. If you're always aiming for a better part

    If you're always striving for a better role

  3. In this play that punctuates your life, your goals

    In this play that marks your life, your dreams

  4. You think you know, you're down below

    You think you understand, you're feeling low

  5. And you've kept your distances from me

    And you’ve kept your distance from me

  6. Carried on with all your fears that set you free

    Carrying on with all your fears that set you free

  7. But at night you change into the darkest swan

    But at night you transform into the darkest swan

  8. With all its fears, you've come undone

    With all its fears, you've come undone

  9. I don't know if you've been hurt before

    I don’t know if you’ve been hurt before

  10. And all the scars your bare are from a previous war

    And all the scars you bear are from a past war

  11. But if it's fear of love that keeps you out of open arms

    But if it's fear of love that keeps you out of open arms

  12. Then I will leave the lights on any trail to come

    Then I will leave the lights on any trail to come

  13. And you will find your way in any given storm

    And you will find your way in any given storm

  14. I remember walking you to hell

    I remember walking you to hell

  15. When you asked the man for one last mission bell

    When you asked the man for one last mission bell

  16. And I followed until the darkness came

    And I followed until the darkness came

  17. I felt so lost, you were my cause

    I felt so lost, you were my cause

  18. So I'll ask again and again

    So I'll ask again and again

  19. Why the courage left when you numbed the pain

    Why the courage left when you numbed the pain

  20. Was I ever part of what you called your plan

    Was I ever part of what you called your plan

  21. I felt so lost that I left your cause

    I felt so lost that I left your cause

  22. I don't know if you've been hurt before

    I don't know if you've been hurt before

  23. And all the scars your bare are from a previous war

    And all the scars you bear are from a previous war

  24. But if it's fear of love that keeps you out of open arms

    But if it's fear of love that keeps you out of open arms

  25. Then I will leave the lights on any trail to come

    Then I will leave the lights on any trail to come

  26. And you will find your way in any given storm

    And you will find your way in any given storm

  27. You will find your way in any given storm

    You will find your way in any given storm

Cast Away

Cast away the shadows of your heart

Chase away the shadows of your heart

If you're always aiming for a better part

If you're always striving for a better role

In this play that punctuates your life, your goals

In this play that marks your life, your dreams

You think you know, you're down below

You think you understand, you're feeling low

And you've kept your distances from me

And you’ve kept your distance from me

Carried on with all your fears that set you free

Carrying on with all your fears that set you free

But at night you change into the darkest swan

But at night you transform into the darkest swan

With all its fears, you've come undone

With all its fears, you've come undone

I don't know if you've been hurt before

I don’t know if you’ve been hurt before

And all the scars your bare are from a previous war

And all the scars you bear are from a past war

But if it's fear of love that keeps you out of open arms

But if it's fear of love that keeps you out of open arms

Then I will leave the lights on any trail to come

Then I will leave the lights on any trail to come

And you will find your way in any given storm

And you will find your way in any given storm

I remember walking you to hell

I remember walking you to hell

When you asked the man for one last mission bell

When you asked the man for one last mission bell

And I followed until the darkness came

And I followed until the darkness came

I felt so lost, you were my cause

I felt so lost, you were my cause

So I'll ask again and again

So I'll ask again and again

Why the courage left when you numbed the pain

Why the courage left when you numbed the pain

Was I ever part of what you called your plan

Was I ever part of what you called your plan

I felt so lost that I left your cause

I felt so lost that I left your cause

I don't know if you've been hurt before

I don't know if you've been hurt before

And all the scars your bare are from a previous war

And all the scars you bear are from a previous war

But if it's fear of love that keeps you out of open arms

But if it's fear of love that keeps you out of open arms

Then I will leave the lights on any trail to come

Then I will leave the lights on any trail to come

And you will find your way in any given storm

And you will find your way in any given storm

You will find your way in any given storm

You will find your way in any given storm
