these roots down reach into the ground
when i look
it’s coming back around
how can you go on sleeping with your eyes open?
keep out of this a lost cause
wood nailed over the windows and door
i'd like to help you believe me i would'
but my hands are tied with a blind fold
this should be as easy as it looks
i can follow simple instructions
and i can copy pictures form books
rusted strings and burnt bookends
all of these stories i’ll tell my friends
when the mist lifts i’ll follow my footsteps back

crashing
02:18
|

|
they said you were asleep and drove the car into the lake
but now you're conscious you remember them cutting your brakes
driving on the ring road at different speeds every day
the ripples on the water
the tide sweeps it away
the peace has been shattered
your friends all look away
politely make excuse and a swift escape

silent as a shadow that moves without light
the lullaby that sings you to sleep every night
a thief’s broken mirror sees his victim’s eyes
and i’m running out of ways to waste your time
you keep getting it wrong
this is the first thing that you’ve done right
are you going to lower the bar for me
because i’m sick of trying to hit all these targets you see
running and aiming wildly
burnt your fingers on matches again
whilst trying to light the fuse on dynamite
if that’s the answer then i don’t want to know
the question that burns in your eyes

been around
03:15

|
i know that you've always been around
and it'll take much more than that to bring you down
these are the limits of what we can take
how long did you think this could go on?
how long did you think this could go on?
how much did you think we could take?
did you forgot about the numbers
upgrade to obsolete
down comes the rain again
wash away and start again
and it's over

pages
04:44
|
|||
|
i looked in the book of my memories
lots of torn out pages and unfinished sentences
the seasons change
but you still feel the same
time falls away
can you retrace your steps?

morning m8
02:36
|
|||
|
can you spare some time
i know it's been a while
licking your wounds
leaves a bad taste in the mouth
row your boat
pretend it's not a dream
now it's over it's over
imagine if you said
all the shit that in your head
take a quick dip
in the stream of conciousness
have you ever told a lie
to help them sleep at night
now it's over it's over

in time
02:29
|
|||
|
i was in time
and not surprised to find
that all of your lies were the truth
no one knows where this river flows
but i'll follow it back to you
through this soil i can see it all
every we have been through
cold flowers bud watered by your blood
spiralling down the whirlpool

sea song
03:51
|

|
he left his home
over oil stained driveway
his face dried and cracked form the air
took the same path into the town
like the back of his hand
dust settles on everything you own
and I can't stop bad things happening to myself
and everyone else
the oars are broke but the ship is still afloat
took a walk on the sea front, people push past him
sea mist from the crashing waves
he walks straight through it and tries to believe it could
wash him away
join with the ocean, all of my memories
just ripples in the sea
smash into the beach

use your feet

all the clock must have stopped on that day
i dig with my hands and the ground starts to shake
i lay on the lines, the old ways walked through time
and map out the wrinkles on my face
i shouldn't start to care, it feels too late
i try to say it's funny but there's no smile on my face
all the little things by themselves don't do any harm
a few drops of rain, never hurt anyone
until it pools up and starts to rage
and you ignored the signs
rivers run to the sea and wash everything away

if i could
01:57
|

if i could make all of my mistakes again i probably would
maybe just without you
chopping up bridges for fire wood
ooo
ooo
aaaa aaaaaaah
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
