Heart & Soul (2014)
04:00
|

I don't want to fight anymore
Heart is dripping into frozen lungs
Stretch skin so I see through
Transfuse my blood, cleanse my veins
Feed me new thoughts and memories
Bleach so I don't remain the same
And if I should die in my sleep
You'd never know how much of you I keep
Locked in my heart
Locked in my soul
I don't want to feel anymore
Make a pill to redress the score
Razor emotions raw
Pretty coloured bruises align
Each shade represents a sign
Meanings no longer my to find

New Skin (2014)
03:44
|

With smiles you like to settle down
And that's where I can turn it around
We got to you
Let me help you lose your grip
On that stale relationship
We got to you
The final payout for dirty tricks
It all goes back to you
Like tears in the rain
We wash away
We rebuild our self with new skin
And then we can begin
Taste what you did not plan for
Hate yourself then beg for more
We got to you
There's no need to think it through
You've shown yourself what you can do
We got to you

Stare at death, hold your breath
Lifeless, we're moments lost in time
Hearts that ache, minds that wake
Leave flesh that's weakened from within
Memories fail to please
I wish that I was someone else
Fix your mind, lead the blind
Humour illusion so it lasts
We love, we learn
But still we yearn
To be the ones we were before
Free to roam, eat alone
Consume fuel, I will add the fire
Stare at death, hold your breath
Lifeless, we're moment lost in time
No regrets, time forgets
Just something we're supposed to say
Choose your fate, procreate
Each mortal coil is cleansed with death
Peeling my heart
Tear me apart
Skin me alive and bleed me dry
Cremate my mind
Burn all you find
Scatter what's left
I'll never die

Wash Away (2014)
04:16
|

She looks into the young girl's eyes
But failing to recognize
She meets her granddaughter
For the third time in half an hour
Her son stands strong and beams with pride
No witness of what's inside
He tells her he has a wife
'You loved her in another life'
Don't want the rain to wash away
She ends the story with a start
The family heart falls apart a fraction
An infant soul but next time it might grow old
No comfort in familiar face
Life buried without a trace
They leave her like earth leaves sun
She calls out to see her son

Our Fire (2013)
04:00
|
|||
I've been walking the same streets
For countless days and weeks now
Never stopping to think of a plan
To change my way around
You've tapping the same beat
For countless days and weeks now
Always wanting to act on the plan
But you don't know how
Lets turn the inside out
We'll burn the streets
With fire in our lungs
Tonight we'll see we're meant to be
It's you my dear
I've been running away from
The path I should have stayed on
I've been wanting to say all the words
You want to hear now
You've been hiding away from
The life you want to lean on
You've been taking each day at a time
It's not too late now
I will never stop the wait
You're the one for me
I promise you this one
'Cause it's always been

Getting Over You (2013)
04:03
|
|||
I hold desire as something new
'Cause you're mine to refuse
Time to diffuse
I can't reside in a thought of you
I get by on my own
I can move on
Our friends are scared to speak of you today
But they shouldn't be 'cause I can say
I'm facing my fears
I've shaken the tears
I think I'm finally getting over you
Your grip has lessened around my heart
You took time to release my beliefs
I've learnt my lesson, now I can start
To apply what I see
Try to deceive

The Empathy Box (2013)
05:30
|
|||
It's the same on this day each year
I bring it all back
Water attacks my lungs
I invite you to leave your trademark
Ice that you hide
Queasy inside but numb
I'm undecided if you
Hate me more than I hate what we are
Or is this just another favour
Like the ones you did that broke my heart?
I'll never get settled with you still in my life
I'm a victim of empathy
I retrace a line hoping to find a you
But I'm chasing the faintest shadow
You don't exist
I can't dismiss the truth
You live in photographs
That I keep but will never view again
You don't see that although you left me
I can never leave my thoughts of you
Last night you told me how you still feel
But then I woke up
It wasn't real

Summer Change (2012)
04:13
|
|||
Hello
My wandering thoughts return
This letter with nothing written for you
We talk with eyes that start to burn
You're waiting patiently to learn
That it's over
You know it's over
No, I can't explain what the summer changed
No, there ain't no way
But it's something real and it made me feel
Like there ain't no way
We sat crossed legged on your bed
We chose to smile and laugh instead
Oh, it's over
We know it's over
No, I can't explain what the summer changed
No, there ain't no way
But it's something real and it made me feel blue

Dry Clouds (2010)
03:56
|
|||
I've shed the skin I felt good in
Your full moon absence
Has proved sense wrong
Sky is turning black before day ends
Fly before your heart defends
My eyes have melted down to stick in my throat
My stomach has replaced my brain
Switch sides so easy
I wish I could
Each heartbreak is mended with cement
Leaving a little less each time
I just want to be whole again

Not You Not Me (2008)
04:03
|
|

I take comfort in another man's life
In another man's home
In another man's wife
Are you unsure who I might be?
I stand corrected by your smile
You broke another with such style
But you're not you and I'm not me
My job is to exaggerate
And bend truth beyond breaking point
Sweet smiles disguise suggestive eyes
Secrets made for you to disjoint
With no reflection we transform
With no connection we conform
Can I see you? Do you see me?
A nameless face, a conscious dream
This vivid figment so extreme
You took over then ceased to be
Is this how it ends?
Control I suspend
Unlikely lips maturely kiss
Inject the thrill I crave and miss
But just enough to start the flow
The closeness I will never know
|

Overruling signs have put my mind of course
It seems I'm learning
I put all my trust in you
Our river has run dry
Luck is running out
Yeah yeah yeah
Punch-drunk yearning confidence in spite of months of
Worthless shielding weaker personalities
Our roof is burning down
Servants take the crown
This conversation doesn't need
You, proof or segregation
Never mind youth's proof
Play the waiting game
But all I'm waiting for
Will change those rules that I have never understood
This poison's pain won't last
Look towards your past

I sit here waiting for you
An image I kept when I left that day
I've seen nothing but it feels like you are here
I've got your picture but I'm not nearer this year
I wait and I wonder
I sit here waiting for you
An image I kept when I left that day
We weren't as close but I miss you more than
The people I've been with
The friends that I've needed for years
Thought things over
Crashed and burned
My thoughts were due to distance
You'd never feel the same as
My unproved mind, which had me think you were mine
I'd still come through in an instant
Our bond has not been shaken
Although I would prefer this to stay inside
It was a momentary lapse in my concentration
On your return that's easy to realize
But still I remain wary
My panicked explanation
Has not nor will ever be in direct site
You never knew
So all is innocent
Let time pass by
I will forget the moment
Ever happened, carry on
Run along into the open
Living life, side by side
In the dark, uninformed, unbroken
Now we live on strong for the rest of our days
If we don't look back
