Head Full of Soil
02:58
|
|||
Sober up I’m leaving early
Wait for me,
Fading into time
I wonder if I made you surly
There’s the sun, burning into night
With a head full of soil and wonder
In a field of lies
What if I’m alone in your company?
Will I live for nothing?
Every week for months
Can I leave your wandering eyes?
I know you said you’d never leave me
But I’m not convinced
You’ve stolen my thoughts tonight
You know I said I love you dearly
Cradle me
I don’t want to die
With a head full of soil and wonder
In a field of lies
What if I’m alone in your company?
Will I live for nothing?
Every week for months
Can I leave your wandering eyes?
Flowering through frost and spring
You’re serious this time
You bloom with love
In spite of cost
Your heart is spilling over
Well we can find a way,
With my help
We can find a way,
With my help
With a head full of soil and wonder
In a field of lies
What if I’m alone in your company?
Will I live for nothing?
Every week for months
Can I leave your head full of soil and wonder
In a field of lies?
What if I’m alone in your company?
Will I live for nothing?
Every week for months
Can I leave your wandering eyes?

Wendy

Who’s breaking your heart now Wendy?
You smile and the sun begins to rise
Don’t let it fade completely
A little bit of patience for the sparkle in your eyes
I know you’ve been low just lately
I think a little seat in the sun will make it right
When all that time is passing by
You look out the window and you watch the fading light
And it got cold real quick
The scent of the trees and passing footsteps on the brick
You’re not a loser girl you just don’t fit
You’ve got that something
You’re breaking my heart now Wendy,
It’s a good day walking by your side
You’re like a silver lining
Don’t you get sad when it’s a lonely night

The Planes
02:51
|
|||
I weaponised all my feelings to lock them up
And to hurt
But your reaction was that of a weary bird
With no flight
We got along
Never really thought
About the cost of living for nights
Never waking up
It’s enough, it’s enough, it’s enough
We got distracted by the planes that would pass us by
What a sound
Hope they don’t crash in the sea and leave carnage behind
What’s wrong with us?
An intrusive thought
Caught early enough
Won’t materialise into a verb
As long as you close,
Your eyes
It’s enough, it’s enough
Ooh
We got along
Never really thought
About the cost of living for nights
Never waking up
It’s enough, it’s enough, it’s enough

Sleep Until October
03:47
|
|||
There’s a trial to take
We’re crawling like leaves and wandering lakes
A purple mist and sober
Reach your arms and eyes for dawn
sleep ’til October
Fearing daylight
It’s a race for tides
Sweeping your knees like a raven feather
If it means we fly
I’ll try again when you recover
It’s a race for tides
Sweeping your knees like a raven feather
If it means we fly
I’ll try again when you recover
Hey soul
Where’s your hat today?
I’m feeling a little burned
A lucky strike got my feet
and I’m dragging a shadow as big as my house
spilling my life on the ground
Keep closed like a book my love
But when will you come back?
Why come back
To me
I slept all the way to an ice age and woke with frost on my teeth
Craving a little green my god where have the trees gone?
It’s a race for tides
Sweeping your knees like a raven feather
If it means we fly
I’ll try again when you recover

You're Crying
03:22
|
|||
You’re giving up too soon
We’re living on a long fallen empire
If you keep being silent enough
You’ll fool me too
Got the free will to lie in the dark
You’re living on fading photographs
And I can see you’re silent for nothing
I wouldn’t mind because
You’re losing so much from crying
You’re losing so much from crying
Curl up and leave it inside
While we’re sleeping how far can you run?
even moonlight couldn’t reach you
Burning feet on the ice as you cross over
One step more and we lose
God,
You’re losing so much from crying
You’re losing so much from crying
Curl up and leave it inside
You’re losing so much from crying
You’re losing so much from crying
Curl up and leave it inside

Gold
02:51
|
|||
Keep a piece of time
And carve your name
in a gold mine
I haven’t held on for long
You know you’re not mine
Ooh
Ever held your name
in my brain
Pooling and decaying
Curling at the sides
When you never came back
Just like the tides
I look over the pier at the desert
Something is missing
Ooh

Fight the Need
03:21
|
|||
And when we leave, I notice the skies aren’t quite what they were last night
We did a little bit of wasting time, but mainly figuring out what we want
I’ve never seen the moon hang on for so long
When we step out of your high place I lick my wounds, I seek your light like a head case
It gets too hard when I’m dark and derailing
We’ve got needs but we fight the need to love
I can’t help thinking, some of the words could be left out to burn in the garden
I’m just a little less stern than I was when left to my own devices
To lead my own feelings astray, with your guidance
I tried it once, I never liked it
Keep holding on, for it’s already gone
When we step out of your high place I lick my wounds, seek your light like a head case
It gets too hard when I’m dark and derailing
We’ve got needs but we fight the need to love
When we step out of your high place I lick my wounds, seek your light like a head case
It gets too hard when I’m dark and derailing
We’ve got needs but we fight the need to love
And when we leave I notice the skies aren’t quite what they were, last night

Back After Sunrise
03:51
|
|||
See if I can make sense of this mess we made
Whether it’s the fire that we started when we last came
Try to make sense of it all
And we’ll come, celebrate, and leave our flags where we stood
And we’ll know when we’ve departed that stains will remain in the dust
I buried my head in the sand
And dug all the way down to where the sun won’t land
I lay there quietly waiting,
For an eagle to snap me up and fade into the far away
I’ll be there in the morning
I see your sleepy eyes
And I do my little dance where we all pretend we’ll be back after sunrise
But I won’t
Cause I care
And I’m perfectly aware
That it’s over
I’m going away for a while
There’s a cold snap to happen,
It’s just for me,
But he’ll be with you shortly
But now he’s by the sea
A different place
That I can’t stand
I see the drawn out shapes in the desert sand
The drawn out shapes in the desert sand
But I won’t
Cause I care
And I’m perfectly aware
That it’s over
Over

Weary Stars
05:25
|
|||
A walk in sea
You’re beyond life,
Who isn’t marred?
We’ll make it around
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind
You’re not far behind
What weary stars
Don’t you keep it up
Your shining stuff
Is not enough
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind
Oooh,
Leave it all here
Weary stars
Keep it up
Your shining stuff
Is not enough
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind
You’ve seen my mind

Druxy

Had a little altercation with myself
Loaded up the gun then put it away
With a little more persuasion I succumbed to a cake
Waited 'til next November, and I caved
I saw my own reflection and ran away
You know you get to the point where you don’t know your own face?
People come and go until they’re gone,
and when they’re gone
who you got, my love?
Suppose I'll get myself together today
Get a more convincing smile for the strangers that I meet
I hope they don’t see the crazy that I’ve got underneath
Cause I’ve a habit of falling over when I speak...
Ahh,
Who you got? Who you got? Who you got, my love?
People come and go until they’re gone,
and when they’re gone
who you got, my love?
Had a little altercation with myself
Followed all the rules and still lost the game
I never wanted to look back and wonder how I could’ve changed

The Walls
04:05
|

Leave it all week in mind
Needless to say you fooled me once
Come back and see just what you’ve done
I hope only you won’t
Come back haunt me
Superficially
Point the gun
Do it once
Hold me softly
Make your ghost
Spinning for hours at night
Climbing the walls while you sit and watch
You have all the power
Lock all the doors and soak
Come back haunt me
Superficially
Point the gun
Do it once
Hold me softly
Make your ghost

Weep Like a Willow
06:24
|
|||
Once was enough
Every little thing you did is coming back, is coming back to you
And it’s all around
It always comes in spades
It works in many ways
Like a bloody waterfall
I kept a warm heart
I kept it for you and it’s blown
A perfect picture overthrown
I wouldn’t know, I just wouldn’t know
I’ll just break like a willow
Brittle seeds on your cold pillow
Maybe we can just be friends
And never do it again
