Life Blood
04:37
|
|||
Bathed in the deep
Seeing through tears I conceal we'll find a way
We can hide the weight
Drained out of me
All of the bruises and all the blame you tried to place
Keeps a pride of place
Beside you
Fade in the dream
Smooth blue black lips
In the Paris sun
Ever my love
I would have kept you in my arms
Left you in my heart
Life Blood
Know that you were
Life Blood
Waking the seas have died away
We can't hide away here
Time has come for us
Pale in the gleaming tide again
This time is getting thin
Smooth blue black lips
In the Paris sun
Ever my love
I would have kept you in my arms
Left you in my heart
Life Blood
Know that you were
Life Blood
Disarm me

Ferryman
04:44
|
|||
Bearing witness seems to suit you best
Tender touch of the skin
In new robes you're dressed
These days have been making me
A lesser man than I can be
Heartbreak has got the best of me
It buried me and I can't speak
And the world sleeps
As the ferryman sets sail
And we ride the distant sun
I'm lost
I've lost time
Glowing our lonely lungs
Peering at your face so pale
In the shine
Smeared as your teeth show
A happy pantomime
These days have been making me
A lesser man than I can be
Heartbreak has got the best of me
It buried me and I can't breathe
And the world sleeps
As the ferryman sets sail
And we ride the distant sun
I'm lost
I've lost time
Glowing our lonely lungs
Bearing witness seems to suit you best
Tender touch of the skin
In new robes you're dressed
You will own my body
You alone
As we ride on
As we ride on
And we ride the distant sun
I'm lost
I've lost time
Glowing our lonely lungs
And we ride the distant sun
I'm lost

Whispers
03:47
|
|||
Carried on in you
Is part of her truth
And the kingdoms left behind
Wouldn't have eased her heartache
Come and go like the moon
Spinning round our tomb
Lay down
Beneath your weary hands
Running from the whispers in your head
So long
Release my yearning friend
Running from the whispers in your head
Burying your teeth
Dig in with your heels
Resolute your blackening
Never to shine for a lover
Nothing changes around here
Nothing left but all your fears
Lay down
Beneath your weary hands
Running from the whispers in your head
So long
Release my yearning friend
Running from the whispers in your head
Lay down

Cruelty
03:55
|
|||
I see the whites of every eye
Spinning machine
I smell the blood upon the tongue
In the breeze
I hold the key in
I touch the rust
I shut the lock and swallowed everything
To dust
But your eyes still sing
This time you run
With proud indifference
You're still out
On the streets
A bride in the distance
Alive in me
It might just be a drop
But that makes a wave
Shelter as cold as bitter winds
Drive the slave
Kneel to the ground
Foot on your throat
This isn't us it's not how love's supposed to grow
When your eyes still sing
This time you run
With proud indifference
You're still out
On the streets
A bride in the distance
Alive in me

Shimmer
04:46
|
|||
A blaze of light
And you're still with me
I feel you in the trees like rain
I hear you in my dreams
I am change
Change is coming, turning
My bright eyes bloom
You're part of the world again
Out of this empty room
I've thrown away some precious things
This beast just keeps me awake
I never seem to learn
I just feed
Listening to the devil speak to me
Change is coming, turning
My bright eyes bloom
You're part of the world again
Out of this empty room
So long
Get me out of this empty room
So long
I've had enough of this place
So rob and rid me of this burden
Let the sun shine down on my back again
Let the sun shine
Let the earth shimmer

Wolf
03:46
|
|||
I keep my eye on the wolf
Drawing in the air
Grey glint in the eye
Biting the words
Black blood on the tongue
Lips coiled for the strike
Now you're twisting in the grave
In the word regret
No light in the void
Buried out by the wind
Clutching your grudges
Empty of voice
My stretching grip
Into the flood I slip
Now you're twisting in the grave
In the word regret
As I give in
Ashen hands again
How we drift into the grave
And the word regret
Has been worn out
Just one slip
And I'm snared
One slip
Now you're twisting in the grave
In the word regret
As I give in
Ashen hands again
How we drift into the grave
And the word regret
Has been worn out
I keep my eye on the wolf

White Ghost
04:35
|
|||
This is our last chance
We'll batten the hatches down
And pray for the ocean's forgiveness
As we're battered around
The time for hope
Has become a matter of life or death
The weight of gold
I fear the burden it will break us all
Into the river
There's blood on their dress
The snake is in the grass again I know
Waiting at every corner for you
To come stumbling in
We gorged ourselves
On our mother's health
The trap is filled
The weight of gold
I fear the burden it will break us all down
Into the river
White ghost
Into the river
You run
To the river
You run
Forever
The weight of gold
I fear the burden it will break us
Erode my world
Take us all
White ghost
Into the river
You run
To the river
You run

Sleep
04:13
|
|||
You and I
We've let our connection
Get so volatile
I see the cracks begin to show
And I fear tonight
Could just be the last time
That we bury the knife
Bury the blade again
Sleeping
Carry us away
Heart of ice
Desperate and dying
Cool night
Sun will rest your emptiness
And burn it dry
Burnt into our memories
And open eyes
Strain to see the birth
Of all that blinding light
Exiting our bodies
Sleeping
Carry us away
Heart of ice
Desperate and dying
With a final word
See no other way
With a final word
See no other way for us
To escape
Wait for me alone
Sleeping
Carry us away
Heart of ice
Desperate and dying
For the sun to rest your emptiness
For the sun to rest

Water
04:17
|
|||
Everywhere I turn
There you are colliding with me
Fill you up to let you down
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Out on the water
we both run to ground
Feel the sun burning
Feel the breath of fire at your cheek
I threw you out
and run you round
I threw you out
just to chase you down
Out on the water
we both run to ground
I’ll steer on through
deepest ocean bound
Take a deep breath
In this salty grave
Help the numb embrace us
A deep breath
In this salty grave
help the numb embrace us
Out on the water
We both circle down
i’ll steer on through
Deepest ocean bound

Long Gone
04:25
|
|||
Buried in the bottle and I'm lost
in a sea of cheshire grins
A flash of red in the lions den
That sound of crumbling dreams again
A million miles from hope
A masquerade until the blinding sun
Another message to daylight
Is drowned in the mire of hours long gone
I am long gone
Once again the party is spent
Your loss the joker won't speak of it
Tired and raw our bodies bent over
The dog is waiting at your door
A million miles from hope
A masquerade until the blinding sun
Another message to daylight
Is drowned in the mire of hours long gone
I am long gone

Tying Tongues
04:30
|
|||
I lie awake again tonight
Running everything over and over
And my will is made of iron
Lacking ambition
Eyes are on the prize shattering
Born to rise to shine
Rusted in position
Watch the world go by
Through other people living
Hoping I don't burn my tongue
Tying every word up
Reading too far into things I've done
Tying every word up in your arms
I collected all this junk
To only wear it once
I watch it pile up
But i cannot say stop
Staring back at me
As I try and wash it off
I'll always keep clean
Dust free
Hoping I don't burn my tongue
Tying every word up
Reading too far into things I've done
Tying every word up in your arms
Tying every word up

Brush Strokes
04:00
|
|||
Drawing you into a monet frame
The edges are blurring
On a kiss that never could last
Hey you, do you want to sever the dream?
I don't
You left my body in flows
Like brush strokes
Curling cracking as your sorrow speaks
The morning light carries me
Another memory
Searching over empty ground
Till there's nowhere to go
Weeping like a willow
Bending and shaking
In ransacked home
I wade through my brush strokes
And I know you had to go
And I had to stay
I know
Drawing you into a monet frame
Aloud our movement frozen in place
We are frozen in place
You left my body in flows
Like brush strokes
And I know you had to go
And I had to stay
I know

When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
When resentment rides high
And emotions won't grow
Yet we're changing our ways
Running different roads
And love will tear us apart
Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on your side.
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
And love will tear us apart
Our love
You cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
There's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
It's just that something so good
Just can't function no more
And love will tear us apart

Mountain
04:47
|
|||
Hiding in self esteem's thin veneer
Head in the sand in my dreams
You appear
Hollow eyes of green
Dripping fingernails
Into horizons
Staining
Slip away
I will go
Wherever you go
Blending waves
Ebb and flow
Through mountain and stone
Let them say you lost your road
To never be found again
Let them say you are alone
On this journey home
You're a weakling of a man
Yeah it's true
A little secret keeper
Turning blue
A poison apple's sheen
From behind the veil
Into horizons
Staining
Slip away
I will go
Wherever you go
Blending waves
Ebb and flow
Through mountain and stone
Let them say you lost your road
To never be found again
Let them say you are alone
On this journey home

Iron Heart
03:27
|
|||
Face in the glass
Tasting you will not fill my cup
In the dark
All my insides turning out
Just a ride
But it's one I want off of
With a sigh and a kiss goodnight
This fire can wash me clean
To this iron beneath
Follow my will
Take me to pastures in the sun
Keep me still
There's no need to chase or run
With the sky
And the moonlight on my tongue
We can hide out
On endless light
This fire can wash me clean
To this iron beneath
There's a sight of you all alone
Tied up tight in the stars above
Brighter than all these diamonds
We'll stare on and on
This fire can wash me clean
To this iron beneath
