The Coming of Light

come outside, it’s over
all was taken away
dust and stars, they gather
no reason to stay

i really want to let you know
it’s neither wrong or right
either way we turn we’re bound to hit the coast
if we keep it dry
if we keep it
try.
i’m beginning to anticipate
when we learn to celebrate
no use charging into open doors
every step is bound to rock the boat.
i really want to let you know
it’s neither wrong or right
but if it cushions all the heavy blows
or evens out the edges of our gaping holes
it’ll keep us dry.
(nothing’s ever quite forever)

Circles

Circles
all our words in circles
round and round eternal
i would rather never know
you spin pretty circles
convoluted and mislabeled
come inside it’s getting cold
in your eyes are stones
keep on talking circles
all your thoughts mislabeled
not as funny as before
you draw coloured circles
over scars eternal
i don’t mind them anymore
keep on talking circles
my only move then
to only move when
i can see your every movement
we get to get away with it
all our words in circles
round and round eternal
i would rather never know
keep on talking circles
keep on talking circles
over scars eternal
i don’t mind them anymore
(all this time we wasted)
you spin pretty circles
convoluted and mislabeled
in your eyes are stones
keep on talking circles

PM to PM
03:34
|
|||
leaves are all falling
season by season
nobody listened to me
calling out names in times of unreason
barking at a hollow tree
lying awake
awaking to sleep
golden and sunny and slow
to hide in the shade is an honest mistake
learn by going where one has to go
oh, what a wonderful human you were.
show us your pain
we’ll hurt you again
like only you know
countless mistakes
all golden and slow
follow wherever i go
oh, what a wonderful human you were.

Back of my Head
02:26
|
|||
it’s always there in the back of my head
everywhere i go, in the back of my head
a sudden blow to the back of the head
a one man show without no reason
well fed from the palm of our hands
a tiny thread in the back of my head
not just sweat in the palm of my hand
pools of blood, the walls before me
keep on rising up
they keep on rising up
if God is large and God’s in charge
we’ll keep on rising up
it’s always there in the back of my head
everywhere i go, in the back of my head
a set of eyes in the back of the head
fixed on every minor detail
told you once you’re running scared
told you once, the walls before me
keep on rising up

The Long Distance Hum
03:40
|
|||
one night after night
long routine, longer flights
if this is all you asked
i can make it work but it won’t be fast
no need to get unstuck,
i’m up, i’m up, i’m up - i’ll get there
please, don’t erupt
this line’s acting up
we broke them bottles just to fill the cup
two halves should be good enough
no need to let it out
you hear? i’m here,
you know –
that if it goes without saying
don't go
just say it
if it goes without saying
it's love
these are all your tears
some of love, sum of fear
this is all we asked
bring with heart what we lack in cash
eat your cake and make it last
i’m up, i’m up, i’m up –
so if it goes without saying
don't go
just say it
if it goes without saying
it's love

Heart of Wool
03:54
|
|||
don't laugh, just listen
listen, all you're looking for
is under the table
if there's something missing when we cover up the holes
it's just outer happiness
and we could lay awake
just lay awake
fuck the news
fuck the weather
never lift a finger out of bed
a subtle transformation -
legs of cotton, hearts of wool
you know i won't blame you
for what there is or what there isn't
there is nothing i need more
up against the floor
every pillow is a roof above our heads.
awake
just lay awake
fuck the news
fuck the weather
never lift a finger out of bed
when they drop the bomb
we'll count our blessings, nothing more
55,032 hits of inner sadness, untold stories
either way you flip it they are better left untold
it's probably for the best, you know,
just outer happiness.
if we lay awake
just lay awake
fuck the news
fuck the weather
never lift a finger out of bed

All Lights Up
03:40
|
|||
that night that you were dressed in white
and the world stood still and silent
i never felt quite so small
and i thought that no one saw it
and it all lights up for me
we stumbled in the open dark
skipping through the cuts and bruises
you were glowing from the very start
and we were rising lighter -
so why the sad eyes?
why the sad eyes?
when it all lights up for me
and if you lose direction,
or end up broken
i’ll fix you with glue and some string
for all that’s unsung on the tip of your tongue,
i can see it from under your skin
but to lose your conviction - relief!
slowly the streets will rise up in defeat
if the roof falls apart
or we can’t leave a mark
if our lives never change,
or we keep changing our hearts -
you’re still all that I need.
and it all lights up for me
that night that you were dressed in white
and the world stood still and silent
spinning through the open dark
and we were rising lighter,
so why the sad eyes?

Believers
03:38
|

nobody here can see the sky above their heads
the road as it descends until we can’t go on
deep within you’ll see the flickers of the end
no breaking dawn
my brother told me something
that all he wants is one thing
he just don’t know what it is
down here we know one thing
that all we want is something
but we always seem to miss just what it is
please believe us we're all believers
nobody here knows but it’s something that i don’t forget
a weight upon our neck
just another wall
cities rise in flames that stutter slowly when they burn
it’s a steady fall
my brother told me something
that all he wants is one thing
he just don’t know what it is
down here we know one thing
that all we want is something
but we always seem to miss just what it is
please believe us we're all believers
my mother told me one day
someone will give you something
but you’ll give it all away
down here we know one thing
that all we want is something
but we always seem to miss just what it is
please believe us we're all believers

if it don’t burn it won’t grow.

sam was a good dog
bet he still is
i bet he still has a smile on his face
not a hint of regret
cuz sam was a good dog
i hope he does stretch out his limbs before he takes a walk
it’s so important these days
sam was a good dog
good dog sam
what good does a good dog bring?
i bet he still has a smile on his face
the less you know the more it’s gonna hit you
they know you’re gonna run
(don’t let them eat cake)
(don’t let them have fun)
nisha did a bad thing
i bet she still is worked-up, cracked-out,
i bet she still stays glued to the stairs
with a hint of despair
oh, nisha does it all wrong
you know she still does stretch out her limbs
before she hurts another one
nisha, back off
war hog
bad dog gone mad blood
not bad for a bad dog
you get used to that smile on her face
the less you know the more it’s gonna hit you
they know you’re gonna run
(don’t let them eat cake)
(don’t let them have fun)
sam meet nisha
nisha don't eat sam
put a smile on your face
you’re not like the other ones
(stretch out your limbs!!!)
lie eat cheat steal heel
before you take off, take care
don’t give me that stare
the sooner you forget the better
try to focus on the weather
trust me cuz i know
the less you know
the more it’s gonna hit you
you know you’re gonna run

Builder's Tea
03:47
|

it was the longest writing on the wall
a trail of red lights flashing
but the only way to hear the call
was heed just what was said
you get so lonely just from seeing how it all fits well together
first came winter, then came spring
you said nothing so we didn’t change a thing
we are the runners up
a winning hub
contenders of the Asian Cup
we can’t afford to treasure what is over
over
and every time you break the line
you keep what's yours
i keep what’s mine
first came winter, then came spring
you said nothing so we didn’t change a thing
so many so many baby steps
too many baby steps
soon there'll be too many babies on board
all the normal people wait around for normal people
all the normal people don’t wait around too long
a steady tree won’t make a sound
or notice that you’re not around
something new just ended
so then something old begins
take back the unconditioned love you have
and plant it in the desert
first came winter, then came spring
keep moving if you’re bleeding from within.
so many so many baby steps
too many baby steps
soon there'll be too many babies on board
all the normal people wait around for normal people
all the normal people don’t wait around too long
all the normal people keep it nice and clean and simple
when they leave without a signal
don’t wait around too long
