White Noise
03:25
|
|
||
She always sighs
At the slightest touch or hand or thigh
Lungs that couldn’t bear to say my name
Into this disguise, we’re not the same
She used to be my lover
She used be my love
Now there’s white noise all around us
When I’m static here, it’s so hard to say that
I need you and I’m sorry and the lines we crossed will fade away
All I know is we’ve both had enough of
Rusted days that melt our sense of trust
She used to be my lover
She used be my love
Now there’s white noise all around us
When I’m static here, it’s so hard to say that
I need you and I’m sorry and the lines we crossed will fade away
Now there’s white noise all around us
And I’m static here, it’s so hard to say that
I need you and I’m sorry and the lines we crossed will fade away
Now there’s white noise when I’m near you
And we’re static here and you’d rather wait
To say sorry and I need you and the lines we crossed will fade away

Boys of Winter
02:39
|
|
||
The girls of summer dressed in duffle coats against their will are freezing
Arm in arm, sharing stories of sin
Left their mother’s and their father’s house to find a boy to charm them
Arm in arm, a casual prayer for sin
Put down their bags
It’s all they have
To dance around
It’s all they have to catch
The boys of winter with their collars up the beers go down you hear them
Burp to burp, they are praying for meat
Left frustrated, time for hatred, after a kebab, you’re wasted
Punch to punch, they leave blood in the street
Put down their flags, it’s all they have
To dance around, it’s all they have
Arm in arm, they get off on their own
Arm in arm, they get off on their own
Arm in arm, they get off on their own
Arm in arm, they get off on their own

Howl

Hope won’t you carry me away
Wont you fall to your knees and give to the hand that is holding me
And lust with that look in your eye
A truth that’s been held in the night, a bird that’s been waiting to fly
Love free
I’m burning bridges, to watch them fall
I’ve been down to the river and back to the source
Lost in the city and trapped indoors
Following a compass to beg for more resources
I grew up in a village and escaped that
Lived in a run down council flat
With pennies in my pocket, one time I snapped
Wrath, you’ve been pulling my hair to long
You’ve been holding my stare so live while you cradle your own despair
And greed with that spit in your eye
Lament so the morning might cry a sun from the darkness and light we share
I’m burning bridges, to watch them fall
I’ve been down to the river and back to the source
Lost in the city and trapped indoors
Following a compass to beg for more resources
I grew up in a village and escaped that
Lived in a run down council flat
With pennies in my pocket, one time I snapped
I’m burning bridges
I’m burning bridges
I’m burning bridges
I’m burning bridges

Escape Tactics
03:19

I’d spit in your direction if I only had a clue
That you burned my map when I found out you’d been lacing up your shoes
So I’m looking out a compass and a picture for good grace
Hoping that a stranger might have seen your face
So sweet when I found you, bitter when you’re gone
And salted forever and put back in the ground
You light a decoy fire to throw me off your trail
Accept the invitation, to hammer the last nail
So sweet when I found you, bitter when you’re gone
And salted forever and put back in the ground
Home
Let’s settle the assumption, the end is drawing near
You’ve never been a stranger to picking at my fears
So sweet when I found you, bitter when you’re gone
And salted forever and put back in the ground
It’s so long since I tasted the sour fruit of youth
And cut out it’s tongue and punched out it’s last tooth
Home

Alexander Graham Bell
03:19
|
|

I heard the whisper of your broken bell
So I’ve been working on a way to send my
Voice to you so you might hear again
The hum of normal conversation
I want to hear you louder
Sing the words you never got to tell me
Sing the words you know God loves
Between the thought of giving up and breathing
Warmer words for all we’d lost
When it goes so quiet round here
You’re the shadow the broken lung
A morning song that’s never sung
Eliza Grace you were my finest hour
The saddest Bell that never rung
When it goes so quiet round here
When it goes so quiet round here
When it goes so quiet round here
When it goes so quiet round here

Forever
03:11
|
|
||
Are you imagining, the world and endless spin
So tired that you can’t see forever
Flow through me, forever love
Forever love, are you still drifting or
Am I worth staying for?
Is this your final fall or just another false forever love
Forever love
Are you imagining, the tide in everything
So wide that you can’t see forever
Flow through me, forever love
Forever love

Get your hands down from your green eyes
Let me hold you in my arms
If you need shelter I will hover over you until you’re dry
And I can’t wait until tomorrow because then I’ll see you
If you can, bring the photograph from high school so I can see how much you’ve changed
You are that I need to get bye, and all I ever will need
You’re all I am and every will be, all I want and ever can
The winter proves to be a long one but we’ll get through it
Don’t get Seasonal affective disorder
You know you really look amazing with no make up when you’re mad
You are that I need to get bye, and all I ever will need
You’re all I am and every will be, all I want and ever can
You are that I need to get bye, and all I ever will need
You’re all I am and every will be, all I want and ever can

Don't Dream
03:10
|
|
||
A single spark of light can start a fire in your mind
And burn till you love is gone
A single thought can spread until it grows out of your head
And poisons every word you ever said
I know your sorry and that’s fine but what is done is done the line is still the line
I will repeat what I begged baby at the time
Don’t dream your love away, aw c’mon stay
A single glance can dance upon your face and in that blush
Every yearn and fable is revealed
I gave you everything I had but we are old enough to know what’s said is said
I will repeat what I begged baby at the time
Don’t dream your love away, aw c’mon stay
Don’t let what we have grown die alone
Don’t dream your love away, aw c’mon stay
Don’t let what we have grown die alone

Too Long
02:45
|
|

It’s been so long since I left everything for you in that summer when you came to my rescue and I told I loved you and your sacrifice was sane and you gave me a shoulder to take away my shame
But I waited too long for you
I waited too long for you
In the winter I’ll hold you thaw your heart so it can beat to a rhythm that we made that peaks and then repeats while the water lies frozen inside we dance so slow I’ve been hoping to see you and bask in your fine glow
But I waited too long for you
I waited too long for you
On one knee by the ocean the words fell out my mouth “can I be yours and you be mine?” a yes would make me proud in my neglected, rejected heart since I was young I’ve been hoping to find you I’ve been drinking till I’m drunk
But I waited too long for you
I waited too long for you
But I waited too long for you
I waited too long for you
For you
For you
For you

Chrysanthemum
02:55

|

Crane your neck, stretch out your brightest part
And bloom colour from both your head and heart
You know me better than anyone
From bed to bed, I stumble blindly
Only to be with you cause you I wont run away
It’s only my first mistake but you know I won’t run away
It’s clear to me you are the whitest rose
Hampered by a stem that never slows
I can’t see you but I can hear your voice
Wiser then, wiser than second choice
Only to be with you cause you I wont run away
It’s only my first mistake but you know I won’t run away
Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum
Only to be with you cause you I wont run away
It’s only my first mistake but you know I won’t run away
Only to be with you cause you I wont run away
It’s only my first mistake but you know I won’t run away

Death Is A Dark Place
02:47

Once when you were very young
Your grandfather told you son
After I am gone, you will be a man
You’ll build a family of your own
You’ll build a family on your own
You’ll build a family on your own one day and I’ll be by your side
Once when you were sick in bed
Ghosts went walking through your head
You mother told you son
Come back you’re too young and
Deaths a dark place if you go
Deaths a dark place if you go
Deaths a dark place
If you go come back
If you go come back
If you go come back
I need you by my side
