Invisible Strings 02:37 video
lyrics
buy track
INVISIBLE STRINGS There’s a tremor in the walls where we have been There’s a tremor in the walls that’s keeping me thin Sorrow hangs like a coat on the door Leaving its trace Like those socks on the floor Invisible now I look into the mirror next to the bed Your imprint tugging like a kid at my sleeve I know it’s not the time for us to be that close I know it’s not the way it’s going to go Pulled by invisible strings Pulled by those invisible now, invisible now We leave stalking the unsaid like the invention of the wheel All I want is for those openings to heal In a world full of puppets and puppeteers Those invisible strings to you stay tied Even when we’re invisible now Pulled by those Pulled by those invisible now, invisible now Hanging to what Clinging to what Invisible now Invisible now.

Beast 03:11
lyrics

BEAST Whisper into my ear your beast as we meet Rage encased inside we greet As we dip colliding Show me the way so your beast can hear and we’ll break both venoms down I can tame your beast When you tame mine It’s when the savaged meet When they weep We can shake them down Sated and calm We can make them bow down When they meet Feast down beast feast down Feast down beasts feast down.

ESCAPE Don’t want a house a car a kid Get me out of this one quick Forgive me father for I have sinned All my ambition binned Treadmills are their own worst curse I can see them I’m running I hear the raindrops splat on my window Trickling tricked into a corner Ends not meeting have a daughter That’ll do it that’ll sort ya Not thinking just do the programme Keeping all the economics turning I can see them see them coming And boy I’m running I’m for the escape Just get me out of this place I can see them See them coming and boy I’m running Meet someone at work get pregnant get married Get divorced eat bad food have a heart attack Get on porn tv coke down the pub with the blokes And I’ll do it my way Get out on the highway I can see them coming And boy I’m running I’m for the escape Just get me out of this place I can see them see them coming and boy I’m running I’m running I’m running

Borderlands 03:59
lyrics

BORDERLANDS I hear the dogs as they go barking We watch the eagles circling Twisting and curling Our languor beats his head Spill me over disappearing Down softly into yearning I'll be your jettison jug Daylight oh my daylight Speak up my dear Speak now or not ever Hold me forever In your daylight cup Just us and the fields above I'll be yours, your jettison jug Put a penny into the hole See what comes up and never come up Sleep sleep and never wake up Tred through the forest of the daylight cup And I’ll be yours daylight I’ll be yours, I’ll be your jettison jug And we’ll be brought to the border, to the border of the borderlands and we’ll be brought to the border, to the border of the borderlands These fields were marching with their insides stripped hollow they won’t spill where they have been Like the blood that they have seen Now we’re high high on hooray Shaded in sun hat on our face Watching the deer watching the birds While the bones lie and the vines are thickening Slip through the surface Peer through the glass Sleep sleep and never wake up Tred through the forest of the daylight cup And I’ll be yours daylight I’ll be yours I’ll be your jettison jug And we’ll be brought to the border, to the border of the borderlands Brought to the border, to the border of the borderlands And we’ll be brought to the border, to the border of the borderlands Pour into me daylight I’ll be yours daylight Pour into me I’ll be your jettison jug And we’ll be brought to the border, to the border of the borderlands And we’ll be brought to the border, to the border of the borderlands

Road that Drives Us 02:58
lyrics

ROAD THAT DRIVES US Farewell to light and shadow As the fire rages It’s the road that drives us beyond Farewell to sun and sunshine Farewell to certainty You can leave it all behind you There’s one stone to turn over Farewell to tragedy and distaste Farewell to time lost You can rest your head it’s over You can be real again once more Summer’s not nearly begun and the road seems so long this time No I won’t let you become none While I’ve got the strength for some As you lie in my arms Hardly with the breath left to ask Saying you have made mistakes but I know it’s not too late You must believe there’s more than this Even when it’s the lowest time you know No I won't leave no I won’t go While there’s the road that drives us on.

Behind the Wall 04:27 video
lyrics

BEHIND THE WALL I sit behind the wall My gaze tames what’s gone before You come to find this lonesome land Build your golden city from your treasured hand From this you make all wrongs right Fighting with conscience night by night You paint your walls thick with hurt And plaster cracks where you’ve been burned Take this and turn it over Find your four leaf rest your shoulders And I sit behind the wall Some comfort now though it’s small Tears land on soil and watch the flowers grow And where we are we’ll never know I sit behind the wall No reason to it all If ignorance is bliss then I won’t remember this No mystery, no misery behind the wall No memory it can’t last subdued it’s in the past Behind the wall Behind the wall Behind the wall Behind the wall If ignorance If ignorance is bliss I won’t remember this I sit behind the wall no reason behind it all Summer crossing isn’t shade There’s nothing left to say

Twilight 02:45
lyrics

TWILIGHT Twilight on my mind as I ask what will be left Each grain trickles down Passing through my breath I check the calendar with the dates arranged Each one marking off another to my grave Time is so modern It leaves me secondhand The motion of the clouds My final grain of sand And I keep drifting with twilight on my mind As the cars the trains the planes the days Leave from from behind it;s twilight on my mind As I take day by the hand Watch the train cut purposeful through the land And everything seems in motion but I wonder not As I stand the grains of sand come falling down on top Time is so modern it leaves me second hand The motion of the clouds my final grain of sand And I keep drifting with twilight on my mind As the cars the trains the planes the days Leave me from behind It’s twilight on my mind It’s twilight on my mind

Drona Sticks 02:37

DRONA STICKS I hear your crackled voice A fly I hover outside you’re doing city things While I’m here staring at lizards You’re making decisions We’re both surrounded by snakes But I’ll be back We’ll bounce back But while while I’m here We’ll both disappear We’re two sticks on the water We’re two stones rolling down the hill I think of Carole King Singing you’re so far away I’m in sun you’re in the rain You’re in light I’m in the shade But I’ll be back We’ll bounce back But while while I’m here we’ll both disappear But while while I’m we’ll both disappear

Boomerang 02:09

BOOMERANG I never want you to think I’ve turned my back on you That one is something that I’d never do We could stay stuck together or blown apart Even though there’ll be times when we’re apart I’m never without you These times are just jagged In such we don’t sleep But in times of need we’re here still solid We could stay not here in spirit but here in heart Even though there’ll be times when we’re apart I’m never without you Without you I’m still here for you, still here for you My boomerang My boomerang

Proof 03:01
lyrics

PROOF I’m forgetful sometimes time I’d be regretful House of cards’d suffer badly This weather’s not good sadly and we can be a burden And the future’s never certain But I’ll, I’ll remember this This is proof. No fairytales round to see Just luck or timing Princes or princesses Don’t know what we’re dressed as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz On the road nowhere else to go Waiting for the big sea Nowhere else to be But I’ll remember this This is proof Clouds hang at the door One gust makes one leaf sing I know your faults But I’m happy drinking from this cup May be luck or timing And there’s no point going into hiding We all may be a burden The futures never certain but I’ll, I’ll remember this This is proof Proof I’m forgetful sometimes time I’d be regretful House of cards’d suffer badly This weather’s not good sadly and we all can be a burden And the future’s never certain But I’ll, I’ll remember this This is proof Proof Proof Proof la la la la
