What Can You Say?
04:54
|
|||
|
Well what can you say
Without pushing away?
And why can't I see it
The way that you do?
There's a world in my pocket
But I've nothing to say
This world in my pocket
Knows no night or day.
Quarter to two
I'm back in this room
Confined like an outlaw
Quarter to four
But I'm riding that feeling
and I'm happy nowhere
As silence revealing
So pure and so rare
And in time I'll write
A few words or lines
And who knows what comes next
But I'm sure that it's nothing
That I would expect.

Lost In The Dark
04:08

You're lost in the dark
But it's the middle of the afternoon.
Slow off the mark
Hey baby, it's understood.
Can't see the future
If you spend life living in the past.
Could call it a hunch
Put it down to circumstance.
But it's not here you're looking for.
It disappeared and left behind a door
And it's not here you're living for
It's just the moments
Forever captured in your heart.
Caught in a knot
Tied down into the middle age.
We could call it all off
Boil it down beneath a quiet rage
Can't find the feelings now
Your plans begin to flitter away
Was it circumstance
Or maybe we could never say.
But it's not here you're looking for.
It disappeared and left behind a door
And it's not here you're living for
It's just the moments
Forever captured in your heart.
But it's not here you're looking for.
It disappeared and left behind a door
And it's not here you're living for
It's just the moments
Forever captured in your heart.
In your heart
In your heart
In your heart
In your heart
In your heart

Learn As We Go
03:10
|
|||
|
I used to think of life as
Long, dull & grey
I used to think of love as
Just something we'd say
But now I just don't know
As these feelings grow
I take my time
To decide
I used to think the world was
A big, old place
But now it seems we're floating
In an infinite space
So I just don't know
Where my thoughts will flow
Once I've taken my time
I'll resign
And if someone had told me
When I was young
I wouldn't believe it all.
We've all got to learn things
As we go.
No matter how long it takes
How many hearts we break
How many days are lost
We'll all reap the costs.
I used to wanna bury
My head in the sand.
I used to want to live
Without a clue or a plan.
I used to sink my drinks
'Til I was blind, dead drunk.
I used to overthink
Well now enough is enough.
Now I think I know
Why these feelings grow
I've taken my time
To decide
I think I know
And got it under control
Once I've taken my time
I'll resign.

Own Two Feet
04:30
|
|||
|
I'll never let you down
I'll never give you up
Won't ever spit you out
Won't desecrate our love.
When constellations lies
They complicate themselves
They try to simplify
Unisolated designs
But maybe they'll find
It was only love that we had in mind.
Hey, come look inside
Don't fear what you might find out
All is needed to define
Where we draw this
Undisputed line
That we safely hide behind
Untamed and unchecked
A barren void of neglect
Working overtime.
On your own again
Your own two feet
Tryna' meet the end
and tryna' make ends meet
Can see the finish line
You know it's time to run
Leave all the shit behind
And get the good things done.
And maybe you'll find
It was only love that we had in mind.
And maybe you'll find
Only ever always on my mind...
And maybe you'll
It was only love that we had in mind.

What A Cynic
04:12
|
|||
|
Oh man, what a cynic
Couldn't win it if we even tried.
Think I've finally hit my limit
Seen enough to wish that I was bind
And why?
Couldn't leave it behind
One lie to another
See how easily the stars align
Conspired under cover
No more searching for a reason why
But I couldn't leave it behind.
Knowing why
Too far to reach in one life
Oh man, what a cynic
I think my innocence has been reassigned
One born every minute
Maybe their ignorance may keep the alive
But I couldn't leave it behind
Knowing why
Too far to reach in one life.

Wait For The Sun
04:08
|
|||
|
The days, they are long.
Yet the nights still linger on.
With a cold that cuts to the bone
Won't be too soon til I'm home
Safe and warm.
Where all I see are the pretty lights
Of empty streets as the winter bites.
I'll hide my head and wait for the sun
Until spring at last rolls round again.
Sun come to me
Let me breathe
Warm summer dreams
Be my release
Now we all can't pretend
That this all will never happen again
It's the same every pass of the sun
But I'll be glad when it's long
Dead and gone.

Around Our Hearts
04:05
|
|||
|
Around our hearts we form
Embraced in a quiet warmth
Under illuminated skies
Obliged, we open wide
And now we're born.
And in this burning light
We chase shadows through our mind
While mediated lies
Seek to divide
What once was our home.
Now there's nowhere to go
Can't trust the people you don't know
And in our darkest night
Can't give up the fight
It could be anyone
When all you see is greed
Another heart breaks
Out in jealousy
It was a past mistake
That continues to bleed
So when it gets too much
Just breathe
Around our hearts we form
But now we're tattered and we're torn
Grown twisted in a vice
As daemons entice
And call us home.

Permission To Land
03:39
|
|||
|
Permission to land has been denied
We venture on through open skies.
Our engines gone, so now we glide
No destination in our eyes.
There's a place and there's a time.
There's a hope without a lie.
We're coming down through the clouds
Catch our breath
'Cause there's a long way down.
We make our way through empty crowds
Communicate without a sound.
Draw a face of city frown
Whose got their world so upside down?
There's a place and there's a time
There's a space inside your mind
We make our way to solid ground
We catch our breath
'Cause there's a long way
A long way, a long way down.

Strange Places
05:29
|
|||
|
I took a trip that took some turns
Change of scene, don't crash and burn
Set my heart on some time away
Change of mind, I'm here to say
Is it so hard to feel the same?
It all adds up to nothing much
All the same forever more
All the goals that slipped away
All the tolls we paid along the way
Is it so hard to feel the same?
Distracted heart and troubled brain
Strange faces, dark places
Can't seem to make them understand.
Coincidental god believer
Hoping heaven comes your way
All you see is all you're feeling
Placed your bets of your dying day.
Headaches causing keen confusion
Pushing through excessive weight
Still unknown but persevering
A hellish from clouds of hate.
Is it so hard to feel the same?
Distracted heart and scattered brain
Strange faces, dark places
Can't seem to make them understand.
Is it so hard to feel the same?
Distracted heart and troubled brain
Strange faces, dark places
Can't seem to make them understand.

Life In Reverse
07:48

I guess we'll start it where it ends
As he greets his friends again
Dressed in black suit and ties
Cheeks watering their eyes.
Well I guess it's time to go
As the takers take him home
To his life.
At home he finds himself in bed
Clouds lifting from his head
Does this mean that I'm alive?
'Cause I felt so close to the other side.
And the kids that love him so
All gather round as they know
These must be the final years
Days of youth are drawing nearer and near.
A sense of grief start to grow
Why am I here?
Why do I feel so alone?
Another take of the final scene
Not looking out, he's looking in
Onto the woman that he's loved
The only one that he held above anything
Trace the lines upon her face.
They start to glow as they fade.
Now looking forward to their life
Where he pops the question, were you my wife?
And watch the kids be what they be
Unmake the same mistakes as we.
as they draw in near to their mum.
Until at last they are one
And he's never felt so much love
But still he feels, is this enough?
As his lover draws him near
And whispers sweetly in his ear
Let's get dressed
Let's get out of here
Let's get to know
These final years of our own.
All settled down inside their home
Steady jobs and time alone
And we're so lucky in every way
In a world that seems so cold and grey
Another place or another time
We might have passed each other by
And never known
All we know
And all we feel
But you're so real to me now.
Now moving home to Dad and Mum
They'll never know all he's done.
Always a kid inside their eyes
A forever lasting warm sunrise
And politics and sex and drugs
Have yet to be plainly discussed
Well he can barely say his name
And his life is filled with love and games
And all the love that he's been shown
Will help to shape the cause of all
He's ever known
And all he feels
And all he steals
Into this world we call home.
