01 The Everchanging Spectrum Of A Lie

Call in the social
Call in the mediation
How else can a shadow
Behind her not follow

Call on the lonely
A plea for you to befriend her
Makes only you feel better
Make only you

Nothing outside will care enough
Nothing outside of you

This trail that you're treading
Is one flicked switch awaiting many
The coils the echoes rattling
I hope the fears are buried beneath my love

My love
Love is the everchanging spectrum of a lie,
A lie to hide behind when nothings right
You take form with ink and blood
Can't you see I'm good

Nothing outside will care enough
Nothing outside of you

The dangers of showing
Any kind of weakness

Just to forget your born

Nothing outside of you


02 The Magnifying Glass

What shines when the eyes are dull
What folds in when the hinge is gone
The moth is dead without the dust
I'm dead without a fuss

All I know is you
No I can't change

Below the shelf it's a happier home
And all your neighbours they love each other
And your friends are having so much fun
They're baking cakes and swapping numbers

All I know is you
No I can't change

The slightest weight upsets the scale
Simple words are growing vague
We're twinned but put against
One shape under the magnifying glass
Please no ad-lib, the world is cruel and outsides
Licking lips
All i know let's shed the myth
Let's cut out this bit and this bit


03 I Don't Want To See You Like This

A bridge splits November's sky
I'm in two halves inside
This is the past right here
I choose to leave it here
The cliffs loom to scrape you thin
The bowl churns to overspill
But I can see us here, without this fear

I want to find those books
Search your face, torment us
You're just a shower to someone dry
A shower for the wilted, the dried

Because we all leave courage's side, but I'll always be courage's child
The past I'll clear, I choose to leave it here
(leave it here)

You say have your time again, but you can't and the warning starts now
What's in the frame it makes you sad but you can't fill the gaps
We're four rings on a chain so don't make them rust
I'll be your maps
I'll be your eyes
I'll give the ending a nudge

I don't want to see you like this

Alive now in the middle, not looking from outside
Wishing that it was a screen fight
Settled with all of a heroes flair
Put aside , find a new character

I don't want to. don't want to
Don't want to see you like this

A bridge splits November's sky
I'm in two halves inside
This is the past right here
I choose to leave it here


04 Austere

See the medal reverse
This hope is not lost
It's mischief to turn
Your ship to send off

and gowns
We'll ransack this town
I'd rescue here and now
in velvet you'll drown

Oh, austere
Lay by my side
You've been left here
So don't make a sound
Keep your word
Don't let me down
Just
Destroy me now

Destroy me now


05 A Heavy Abacus

Here we are bending feet
In the dark before dreamless sleep
Cloaks that spot, that shiver, that breeze
throws you in the dark

Happiness it won't last long
and this child behind stores it all
The failed man's curse and the cost
of noncholance

Thank you sly watchful gene
a plastic life up my sleeve
if you've followed this far you've realised nothing

now your world is here
watch it disappear

abacus haunting me
abacus watching me

and it all plays out
and it always comes around
the message fades but the mess prevails
you reckless thing leaving you in our hands


abacus haunting me
abacus watching me

all we have is this chance called memory


06 Whirring

This much delight
Fills columns to new heights

All these things about me you never can tell

Colors burn bright
They burn pictures so bright

All these things about me you never can tell
Make me sleep so badly visible friend

Turn the dial on my words
I can feel them fall short
Turn the dial try my love, try my love
Wash these hands
Turn the dial on my words

Love can't stay here

These steps shadow
Life's will gone shallow

All these things about me you never can tell
Make me sleep so badly visible friend
All these things about me you never can tell
Make me sleep so badly visible friend
Make me sleep so badly visible friend

Turn the dial on my words
I can feel them fall short
Turn the dial shine the light, shine the light
Watch these hands move apart
Turn the dial on my words

Love can't stay here


07 Buoy

All the things you like
Guided by their charms
Behind them safety store
Wrap your greedy arms around them all

Sail, don't try to steer, just sail
You can be hell of a force
With the button to a broken man

Because you know I'm impatient
I've been hounded down before
The diving bell keeps surfacing
It doesn't ring anymore

Did the little boy only get his orders from himself?
Did the whole world revolve his middle class act?
The girl next door hears voices in her head every night
The mother's tears that he's bringing home trash from the pile

You know I'm impatient
I've been hounded down before
The diving bell keeps surfacing
It doesn't ring anymore

And you know I'm impatient
I've been hounded down before
The diving bell keeps surfacing
It doesn't ring anymore

Wife still believes life settles like a stream of dust
Through the beams you lose you underneath

Did the little boy on his pedestal
And the girl next once the voice is gone
And did the whole world and the mothers tears
Sink the sunshine on the back field?

The grasping is hand is never full
And the perfect life is just damaged goods
And you should have talked and you should talk too
Because in twenty years you'll be a mute


08 Maruyama

It's slow here without the wind down town
The push has gone that hounds my side
It's quiet too, bless me this shrine
That the moments that you treasure aren't set aside
What's lost is here, it's charged it feels

I can't settle, I can't rest
I can't settle, I can't rest
I did settle in a ravens nest


09 Cradle

I can't see he says what he means
I can't say what he means when he says
That I'll pretend, I'll pretty pretend
When all I want to see is the end of this

I can't see he says what he means
We'll deal him stick and stones and apologies
I wish, oh, I wish it was through

Split the scars, get up off your knees
Just lift the marks to new found kinesis
I'll pretend, I'll pretty pretend
When all I want to see is the end of this

I wish, oh, I wish
I wish the cobwebs would cover me
Cover me, cover me

My vicious tongue cradles just one
My vicious tongue cradles just one

My vicious tongue cradles just one
My vicious tongue cradles just one
My vicious tongue cradles just one
My vicious tongue cradles just one


10 Llaw = Wall

Yawn, yawn to the detached now
See them screaming underneath
Fill your baskets up with dead fruit
Watch the poison trickle free

Always something in the way now
Always something in the way now
Borders feel the same now
All the borders feel the same now

If you leave, leave what you are

Your hand's a wall, I need the same
It turns on light, my gift's a threat
Watch from afar and pour your hands in deep
And you'll find a claw it says

Always something in the way now

A barking dogma, some happy minute
Spilt on the window is what you are
I never mentioned all the things I did
It's the pain that keeps you wanting
So take over, so take, you're the ugly truth

If you leave, leave what you are
If you leave, leave what you are
If you leave, leave what you are
If you leave, leave what you are
If you leave, leave what you are


11 Chapter 2

Pull out the same and I'm sitting out of this one
The bloated pet, wringing out his own tongue
Stealing tracks that we would have followed out of here
You're stealing fractions from a whole that disappears

And the talk everybody wants a coup
But you start it, someone else and I'll recoup
Sell the stream, the source is turning into mud
And tell the valleys, nothings turning far enough

Between the wreck there's heaven sent
Between the choice I'd rather have
And at the end a chapter goes
And now the finish is the start

Between the wreck there's heaven sent
Between the choice I'd rather have
And at the end a chapter goes
And now the finish is the start

The fire spits everybody's talking low
We won't go away, not until your body's cold
If one by one the pillars fall away
The floor floats like a ray

Between the wreck there's heaven sent
Between the choice I'd rather have
And at the end a chapter goes
And now the finish is the start

Between the wreck there's heaven sent
Between the choice I'd rather have
And at the end a chapter goes
And now the finish is the start

Why is the finish now the start?
Why is the finish now the start?

Roll the timing back for her

Between the wreck there's heaven sent
(Back for her)
Between the choice I'd rather have
(Back for her)
And at the end a chapter goes
(Back for her)
And now the, and now the, and now the finish is the start


12 The Greatest Light Is The Greatest Shade

A glass, a view, a mirror, which one
Distracts like open windows in the gusts
A calm day will come
A calm day will

This dream is, this dream is
This dream is in a telescope now
This dream is, this dream is
This dream is, this dream is
This dream is in a telescope now
This dream is, this dream is

Fever in bedtime covers go unknown
This fright, it grows and misses, sinks and floats
A calm day will come, my calm day will

This dream is, this dream is
This dream is in a telescope now
This dream is, this dream is
This dream is, this dream is
This dream is in a telescope now
This dream is, this dream is

A calm day will come

Fever in bedtime, covers go unknown
Until two eyes out of the darkness bring hope close

This childish heart won't wait
It dances keeps me awake to think on, to think on
You're the greatest light, the greatest shade
It means that I can be happy for you, happy for you

Happy for you, happy for you, happy for you
Happy for you, happy for you, happy for you
Happy for you, happy for you, happy for you
Happy for you, happy for you, happy for you
Happy for you, happy for you, happy for you
Happy for you, happy for you, happy for you
Happy for you, happy for you, happy, happy for you
