Song Lyrics from The Paradise Planets Book Two

Here are the song lyrics from The Paradise Planets: The Abyss (Book Two) by Shaun Barrowes

If You Save Me

Music and Lyrics by Shaun Barrowes

The starlight heroes are all gone

Dead and gone

The midnight shadows scare us down

And we stay down

We’re always waiting for the sun

To melt the ice inside our bones

If you have fire

Then save me

The darkness around me’s invading

All of my hope keeps fading

I just wanna feel like me

Who I used to be

Our shoulders ache from all the shrugs

All the shrugs

Our feet are tired but we still run

We always run

Maybe our hearts have grown to weak

To turn around and plant our feet

If I’m still falling

Then save me

The darkness around me’s invading

All of my hope keeps fading

I just wanna feel like me

Who I used to be

If you save me then I’ll pass it on

If you save me then I’ll pass it on

The World We Live In

Music and Lyrics by Shaun Barrowes

I got down here, it wasn’t by choice

When they found me without a voice

I had too much time to consider

All of the things that really matter

Here they’re whipping them for the fun of it

Disappeared for legitimate 

Questions they just wanna get

Answered even a little bit, but

Nothing makes any difference

Unless we lead with the millions

This is the world we live in

Everything’s wrong, and I’m beginning

To see through the haze, I’m getting

Fired up to wreak some havoc

This is the world we live in

Darkness from end to the beginning

Nothing to live for but getting

Fired up to wreak some havoc

There was enough, yeah 

For all of us and

But you had to be

Everyone, everything

There was abundance

Pouring through our hands

More than we need 

But you had your greed to feed

This is the world we live in

Everything’s wrong, and I’m beginning

To see through the haze, I’m getting

Fired up to wreak some havoc

This is the world we live in

Darkness from end to the beginning

Nothing to live for but getting

Fired up to wreak some havoc

Bind the Light

Music and Lyrics by Shaun Barrowes

Let me fall beneath the flame

Let me walk upon the waves

Let me dive into the light where we 

Escape what we became

I’d descend through raging fire

I would search through endless sky

Just to lead your shadow back 

Where the shores embrace the tide

Find and bind the light

Find and bind your timeless light to mine

Trace the glow of heaven’s voice

Sort the echoes from the noise

Hear my song that’s calling you 

At the edge of your final choice

If your ghost gets lost in flight

And you can’t find stars at night

I will set this sky ablaze till your 

Heart beats next to mine. 

Find and bind the light

Find and bind your timeless light to mine

Some Dreams Never Come True

Music and Lyrics by Shaun Barrowes

Every other day I feel a little like failure

Every other day I wonder why’m I still here

Little lost, a little down, a little bit lonely

In a world where every choice is driven by fear

Paradise is just a dream, but still I can’t leave it

Their advice is lost on me, cause they never cared

Every day I waited for someone to show me

What it meant to feel the love everywhere

Some dreams never come true

Some stars never shine

Some you love will never love you

It’s all part of our unfinished lives

But as the lights fade, I realize

Our whole lives can change in the blink of an eye

Because you loved me, I’ve lived while I’m alive 

With you here, I can finally erase

All the misery and all the heartache I faced

With you here, I can swim the open seas

Knowing I haven’t lost every piece of me

And as the story grows

Into a world we wanna know

Of course, we still gotta build this

And as we distance fear

The dark around us disappears

And this new love will shield us

Some dreams never come true

Some stars never shine

Some you love will never love you

It’s all part of our unfinished lives

But as the lights fade, I realize

Our whole lives can change in the blink of an eye

Because you loved me, I’ve lived while I’m alive 

Gray

Music and Lyrics by Shaun Barrowes

I’m tired of all this gray

Why can’t a light shine down

We’ve given our world away

And now we find it upside down

I’m spending all my tears on the floods

I’ve broken all my spears on the oceans

I’m fending off the years with my blood

And putting all my fears into motion

Even though I claimed to know

The mysteries that still unfold

I’m only digging holes in the millions

If our kind could change their mind

And open to new paradigms

We might be building worlds for our children

I’m tired of all this gray

Why can’t a light shine down

We’ve given our world away

And now we find it upside down

There’s nothing left on either side to believe

There’s no one here day or night who won’t leave you 

Even bleeding out alone no one stops to help you home

No one ever will escape from this gray

We’re spending all our tears on the floods

We’re breaking all our spears on the oceans

We’re fending off the years with our blood

And putting all our fears into motion

Even though we claim to know

The mysteries that still unfold

We’re only digging holes in the millions

If our kind could change their mind

And open to new paradigms

We might be building worlds for our children

I’m tired of all this gray

Why can’t a light shine down

We’ve given our world away

And now we find it upside down

The Foreigner

Music and Lyrics by Shaun Barrowes

I’m calm and collected - Not dead but rejected

Hand-picked for detention - Never wanted your attention

Beat down for a name - Let down in the Games

Get me out of this fame - Gotta figure out a way

It’s the same sheist dance - Wasn’t much of a chance

Get stabbed in the back - Cause you’re living in my past 

No you don’t get my tears - Though you’re playing on my fears

You want me to disappear - Guess what, I’m still here

I may be the foreigner but I’m done imploring for

The right for survival when I might just bring the tidal wave

To you, just remember when you think I will ever 

Tone it down, I’m too big and loud to ever stop singing out

Recharge in the water - Just swim little farther

Your trail’s getting hotter - boom boom now I got her

You thought you could win - get away with it again

Watch me beat fins - You’re about to take it in

I’m tired of the rules - that hurt me and not you

You thought I was a tool - you could use and abuse

You’re living in a dream - if you think you hurt me

Even with your whole team - you’ll never catch me 

I’m much bigger and better than this

I’m not bitter but I never will miss

This beating me and bleeding me dry

It’s got me reeling and ready to fly

It’s not living and we get only one

Life - now I gotta take it on the run

Go supernova siren til I find

It—Every little piece of mine

What’s taken and what’s breaking me down

Has hollowed a hole in me now

I’ve figured I could pull it all in

But something’s getting under my skin

Too bothered and smothered to care

But the light in me’s hiding somewhere

And once I can pull it all out I’ll

Remember what this life’s all about

I finally have a reason to fix things

But I can’t do it if it kills me

Gotta let me help if I want to

Hard for me to tell if you thought through

Any of the words that you throw me

Or even all the times that you show me

Owned by the feelings that control you

Maybe you just do what they told you

Far From Home

Music and Lyrics by Shaun Barrowes

Listen to our choices

And the weight of all our voices

Just like those before us

We want out now out now

From your kill cloud kill cloud

They think they can take me

They think they can break me

They think they can chain me to the sun

They’ll never change me

They won’t contain me

They’ll never wage war that’ll keep me

Far from home

We’re not echoes in the wind

We’re not shadows in the dark

It’s our time to take it in

Cause we’re not the feint of heart

When I Take Your Hand

Music and Lyrics by Shaun Barrowes

Rivers run dry, but the echoes still sing

Burning the sky with your silver lining

There in the ruins, you were a bright new star

Withered and gone, I thought life was ashes

Whispers of songs reach the empty masses

Arriving with daylight, you fell into my arms

And I can finally hear the bells 

They ring as they wish me well

When I take your hand

And this is a story as old as time

And now I can say it’s mine

When I take your hand

I lost a life, ripped through hostile portals

And for a time, I had no supporters

But now that I found you, the past has a golden view

Golazo

Music by Shaun Barrowes and Nathan Hemple, Lyrics by Shaun Barrowes

64 teams come from all across the globe

All of our dreams now riding on a goal

Crossin that portal’s gonna take all we got to win

We get one life--don’t wait to begin

Get that golazo

Shouts around the worlds sing (let’s sing it!)

Golazo

Shouts around the worlds sing

We are we are

One big, loud family

We are, we are

We’re one big family

Fifteen up front with our family cheering in the stands

The fate of their future they put it all in our hands

Let’s sing it together like we never get a chance again

We get one life to take it all in

I Won't Let You Lose Yourself

Music and Lyrics by Shaun Barrowes

Haven’t I given up more than I bargained for 

I don’t remember what all of this was even for

Is it enough to be giving when I’ve been running on empty 

Who’s coming to help me

Remember to be

I won’t let you lose yourself

Or lose your best

When everyone wants to take that piece of you

I won’t let you lose yourself

Or lose your best

Place all of the fear you feel upon me now

I’ll always be the friend

To make sure you live again

I love the you that you have always been

I feel like I’m fading like a song in the final echo

Everyone’s gone and I’m hanging on—I can’t let go

Why do I feel like a world full of people keep trying to change me

I am the same me

I’ve always been
