Midnight Sprawl
03:04
|
|||
Tenuous and unreal
Is a patchwork that sprawls above me
There are no flowers and no trees
Just blackened buildings
A strip-lit room where light never fails
Your midnight wounds
Exaltation reigns
Fear written in muck
Panoptic eyes hide fingers
There are no flowers and no trees
The children here don’t dream

Run Out
03:48
|
|||
My shadow shifts so restlessly
My arteries lined with dead leaves now
Shadows shift and disappear
Dancing to the drone of this lo-fi city hum
Like paint spilling
Onto concrete grey
We try to redefine
What it means to be alive
Running
Running out of time
Running
Running through the night
Shadow movement cause the ghosts to come alive
Silhouettes stop and chase us through this ghost town
We’re running
We’re running out of time
We’re running
We’re running through the night
Now we’re all in this tonight
The consequence of being alive
I need to find a way to keep the flame alight
We pick up the pace if we're going to make it out alive
I won't become a ghost tonight

Open And Closed
04:30
|
|||
Open and closed
Doors that slam shut
Raising voices and tempers
I hear them coming on the air
Sweating
Sweating
Feeding off the feeling I’m getting
Getting
In the heat of the morning
Driving
Driving
Winding down the window
Just to feel it speeding
Speeding
Rushing through my veins
A hot afternoon
Of final straws
Smash glass on marble
Heavy steps counting their final paces now
I wanna be the guard against the waves
I wanna paper up the cracks
Until it comes again
And feel it come again

Anchors
04:27
|
|||
My anchors snag on shipwrecks
In deep ocean trenches
The buried treasure of youth
Is an embrace
Pull me back through the smoke
Before I disappear forever
I’ve found a way through
Lit by the faintest glow
As the walls fall away
As I am led astray
Pull me back through the smoke
Before I disappear
Before I choke

Witchcraft
04:23
|
|||
Palm-reader
Come talk to me
Come assess my fortune
From the code in my finger
Use your witchcraft on me
So easily under
So easy to read
Crystal gazer
Tell me all that you see
A mirage of dead ends
Or a labyrinth of leads
A skein in formation
Or a city of trees
You bear sensations
Are they what you believe?
Or are you offering comfort
For what we want to achieve
A skein in formation or a city of trees
I don't believe in witchcraft
And it don't believe in me

Invisible
03:56
|
|||
Draw the line
To lock yourself in
A prisoner of your own design
One at a time
You cut them out
Accidental loneliness
Tears coming on
You want to be
Invisible
Aerial
You don’t blame yourself
Always someone else
For this friction you’ve caused
And when it comes
You make yourself
Invisible
Aerial
As soon as it comes
So quickly it’s gone

Hypnosis
04:30
|
|||
We are somewhere between
History and the end
On the horizon
Hypnotise me
Tell me stories
Make it real
Then it comes on in waves
Veil bodies in the haze
All comes flooding back
Between my tongue and teeth
So you no longer talk
So you no longer breathe
So you no longer talk
So you no longer think
I don’t recognise
Who I am
Who I’ve been
Concentric circles
There are no circles
There is no meaning
Then it comes on in waves
Veil bodies in the haze
Routine crash eventide
City drone drown me out
When I woke up from this dream
Drenched in sweat
I couldn’t breathe

Don't Leave Me Cold
06:17
|
|||
You enjoy the thought of the infinite much more than you would if you were to experience it.

Perfect Prisoner
03:39
|
|||
Kale was digging a hole
Spent days and nights on it
Nobody noticed at first
Thought nothing of it
His neighbours started to talk
As the circumference expanded
Started gathering around
His thoughts drowned them out
Can’t anybody see
The colours are calling me
Dragging in to me
An escape route to fantasy
Metal on crystal
The sharpest sound to see
Sparks come as it hits
I found a way out
Digging through my enemies
Some prisoners want to be
Isolated while some want to get free

Aurora
04:25
|
|||
The clouds should have given it away
When they turned red from their distinctive grey
The atmosphere collapsing pink
Disappears from view as we exit
Aurora
Breaking through the night
Into the unknown
And through the pull of gravity
I need to navigate the sky
Aurora
Communication satellites
Breakdown survival guide
Running on empty
Running on adrenaline
You gotta be crazy
Gunning for Andromeda
Aurora keeps us alive
Without her we won't survive
Aurora
Your memory keeps me alive
