Everything to me
04:12
|

|
I pour your song over my skin
Helps the memories to glow a little while
Oh the tremor you spark within
Is anything but ordinary
Orange lights flash overhead
Still I lay here, drowning in denial
The waters rise and flush my chest
With an ocean of what-might-have-beens
And I know you’re afraid of the mess we made
But you’re everything, you’re everything to me
It pulled me apart to pull you in
We were strangers, chasing small delights
Yes I’d do it all again
For one moment of finding meaning
Yeah I know people say it’s a game we played
But you’re everything, you’re everything to me
And I won’t be ashamed of the love we made
Cause you’re everything, you’re everything to me
Clearly, so clearly, I can see your face
Nearly, I’m feeling the heat of your embrace
Forever more
Ever more
And I know you’re afraid of the mess we made
But you’re everything, you’re everything to me
So I won’t be ashamed of the love we made
You’re everything, you’re everything to me
You’re everything, you’re everything to me.
You’re everything, you’re everything to me.
You’re everything, you’re everything, you’re everything to me
You’re everything, you’re everything to me

Ebb and flow
03:51
|

|
It’s 2am and you’re still out stalking
The after-hours life got you spinning on a knife’s edge
This empty glass, an empty bar the hollow sound of loneliness
Well it’s all that you are
And it’s ringing in your ears, and it’s ringing in your brain
Like the letters on your skin that you want to write again
Let it bleed a little.
There are waves that come and go
Try to breath it in
Let the darkness ebb and flow
Ebb and flow
Ebb and flow
Lost or found, minute freedoms
All moves have a price have you paid more than your life’s worth?
Disconnected, relocate, we confuse and isolate
What is truth anyway?
And it’s ringing in your ears, and it’s ringing in your brain
Let the sirens sing to you songs of empty, wasted days
Let it bleed a little.
There are waves that come and go
Try to breath it in
Let the darkness ebb and flow
Ebb and flow
Ebb and flow
And it’s ringing in your ears, and it’s ringing in your brain
Like the letters on your skin that you want to write again
Let it bleed a little.
There are waves that come and go
Try to breath it in
Let the darkness ebb and flow
Ebb and flow
Ebb and flow

Soldiers
03:47
|

|
I put a little faith in
A whole lotta wasted time
But there are some wars
Too hard to fight
So I don’t try
That’s why my soldiers lie in waiting
Yeah my soldiers lie in waiting
Won’t you heal thyself
Heal this broken body of mine
Let sweet relief
Pull at me like the tide
Cause I’m so tired
That’s why my Soldiers lie in waiting
Yeah my Soldiers lie in waiting
Leaving pride upon the shelf
Keeping rumours to myself
How low it’s been
Won’t someone show me the way
Live to fight another day
When it’s all caving in
That’s why my soldiers lie in waiting
Yeah my soldiers in lie in waiting
Oh my soldiers lie in waiting
Yeah my soldiers in lie in waiting
Just a scratch beneath the surface
Lies the shame that serves no purpose
A mind full of trouble
Crashing through we burst the bubble
And my soldiers lie in waiting
Yeah my soldiers lie in waiting

Wonder
04:00
|
|||
|
Do you look outside and wonder
Just where did your desire
Turn so pale?
Come laced with expectations
You run with resignation
At your heels
And going nowhere faster than you think
We can believe
We can believe
Should you choose your next words wisely
Or do you just go quietly
Breathe and burn
Inhale to claim survival
Your moment of arrival
Lays in wait
Only knowing when its far too late
We can believe
We can believe
So you’re holding on too tight
Do you feel it now?
You’re so near it, how
Won’t you open up your eyes
See things clearly now
So clearly now
Take a look around and you will see
This isn’t how your life is meant to be
Open your eyes to the
Wonder all around
See things clearly now
So clearly now
You should believe in dreams
You should believe in dreams
You should believe

Preacher

Water, bring me water
For the dust is high
Teach me, how to believe
For the end is nigh
Please have faith in me
My soul is yours to keep
With one hand, try to reach me
With the other reach towards the sky
Wade in, to the river
When the storm clouds pile, so high high high
Please have faith in me
My soul is yours to keep
Please believe in me
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
Offer us eternity
We’ll make wrong from right
Til we’re gone, til we’re gone
Speak in tongues of ecstasy
Whispered in the night
Til we’re gone, til we’re gone
Please have faith in me
My soul is yours to keep
Please believe in me
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive

Gravity
03:34
|
|||
|
And it’s going to break your heart
Wishful thinking lays in wait
Spoils of effort gone to waste
Hesitation is a song that spins us round
Back again to all consume
Automatic and confused
In a war that turns our volume way down
That’s when you’ll look back and see
Where time’s gone
Find nothing that matters was all
You got done
And it’s going to break your heart
And it’s going to break your heart
So we plan and never do
All the things we intend to
So addictive is our fear of flight or fight
Fixed and frozen into place
Spinning thoughts we can’t erase
Til the passage of a lifetime flies by
Someday you’ll look back and see
What went wrong
The life you were missing
Was here all along
And it’s going to break your heart
And it’s going to break your heart
And it’s going to break your heart
And it’s going to break your heart

Hold nothing
03:14
|
|||
|
Come and soak up all this love
Let’s talk about the way of things
Laying in your arms
Feeds all my addictions
Yet there’s no sense of relief
That should come when sleep is calling
Only pity can lay my weary head
I go over and fall under again
But if I hold nothing in this world
If I hold nothing in this world
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Let me fill this wooden box
With snow to lay at your feet
Pressing flowers in your hair
And kissing your face of stone
I’ve always chosen to believe
In the sharp inhale of victory
But winning is lost in the end
And timing really is everything
Cause if I hold nothing in this world
If I hold nothing in this world
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
If I hold nothing in this world
If I hold nothing in this world
Will you hold me
Will you hold me
If I am nothing in this world

The light
03:08
|
|||
|
Here comes the night
Walks round inside my heart
And settles in
Defines the blackest part well
Deep in this place
A mind could fall apart
At war with peace
So let the battle start yeah
All right
All right
All right
The light will find me if it wants
If it wants to bring me around
The light will find me if it wants.
If I believe you love me
One more time
This heart will turn to glass and
Leave hope behind yeah
All right
All right
All right
The light will find me if it wants
If it wants to bring me around
The light will find me if it wants
If it wants to bring me around
A passive dawning of some
Radiated expectation
Wide eyed, illuminate
I hide, but it’s too late
Why won’t it let me be
Woah, yeah we all fall hard so I
Try to play the part
Release me to the deep
The light will find me if it wants
The light will find me if it wants
The light will find me if it wants
If it wants to bring me around
The light will find me if it wants
If it wants to bring me around
The passive dawning of some
Radiated expectation
The light will find me if it wants
If it wants to bring me around

Outspoken
05:55
|
|||
|
Cross the devil cross my heart
Cross the ocean til we’re miles and miles apart
I could never be so cruel
So I sit and pretend I’m in love with you
Woo hoo, woo hoo
Shoot an arrow off my heart
Paint by numbers til this whole falls apart
Won’t you ever live and learn?
Strike a match to it and watch the whole thing burn
Woo hoo, woo hoo
Were you ever outspoken
Were you always so broken
Brace for impact kingdom come
Brace yourself for all the shit you left undone
If only wishes made it so
But you’re still here and I’ve got no place left to go
Woo hoo, woo hoo
Were you ever outspoken
Were you always so broken
All your life, all your life, all your life, all your life
All your life, all your life, all your life, all your life
So much anger so much blame
Cities rise and fall and rise and fall again
Over these ruins I would fly, so high
Kiss me now before I say the last good bye
Woo hoo, woo hoo
Were you ever outspoken
Were you always so broken
All your life, all your life, all your life, all your life
All your life, all your life, all your life, all your life
