I've long heard tales
Over hill and yonder dale
O the ragged bands
When the wild song wails
Such freedom calls me from my hearth
Regret let go my humble heart
And see me to the places
These wild songs are
So I may sing
That I may dance
And leave behind these old regrets
With only one that I have left
It yet remains and must be spoken
I should have done this long ago

Lifeboats
04:14
|
|
||
|
Watching the faded smiles
See these actors walking asleep
Like lifeboats stranded on the ocean
Floating alone
But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown
Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine
Searching these darkened streets
For some trace of meaning
Lifeboats on the ocean
Tracing footsteps back home
But down here in the dark
In this theatre of the cold and alone
No more hidden scars
Step out of the wings
Into the unknown
Look in my eyes
See how they shine bright
Watching our dreams take flight
As we sparkle and shine

Del Rey Sunshine

Black cab waiting
Clothes still on the bedroom floor
Too much too soon? Not this time
Escape to somewhere down the line
Del rey sunshine
Palm trees and fallen leaves
Gunshot heartbeat unkind
Just something new to pass the time
Photographs of summer scenes
'Live Through This' and 'Nevermind'
Not sure what that's supposed to mean
Maybe just that we're running out of time
Out of time.
Del rey sunshine
Autumn creeping through the door
Help me to see the reason why
Just something new to pass the time.
Photographs of summer scenes
'Different Class' and 'Parklife'
Not sure what that's supposed to mean
Maybe just that we're running out of time
and we're out of time
Photographs of summer scenes
'Superunknown' and 'Jar of Flies'
Not sure what that's supposed to mean
Maybe just that we're running out of time
and we're out of time.

Candle Glow

Heading south on dusty roads
Headlights glow against the dark
I still hear your voice, I remember your words
Burning bright inside my heart
Not my landscape, not my home
I played the cards I was given
The beasts watch me from the shadows
As I avoid their suspicion
Sugar-coated suffering
(wonder what this one will bring?)
Food for the candle wick
(another song for us to sing)
Chords for pain everybody knows
(not my landscape, not my home)
Burn your heartbreak on the family coals
(don't let it show)
Heading south running just in case
Love has faded like an old photograph
Feed your heartbreak to the fireplace
Warm your grief in the candle glow
Not my landscape, not my home
I played the part I was given
The beasts watch me from the shadows
As I avoid their suspicion
Sugar-coated suffering
(wonder what this one will bring?)
Food for the candle wick
(another song for us to sing)
Chords for pain everybody knows
(not my landscape, not my home)
Burn your heartbreak on the family coals
(don't let it show)

3am and I’m heading west
Miles shot through with regret
Eyes on the road and the memories
Safe inside my head
I see through your platitudes
Maybe one day I’ll learn
So much distance back to you
Not sure when that bridge got burned
We write our names in the sand
Point our headlights at the moon
We make our way through this land
But gone too soon
No more equivocating
Time to put this to rest
Too much of everything
but enough isn’t the test
I’ve come so far and still I
Feel some days that’s wrong
Only wanted to let you know
That this is where love went wrong
We write our names in the sand
Point our headlights at the moon
We make our way through this land
But gone too soon

Daydreams and Algorithms
04:28
|
|
||
|
I can hear the sound of dreams
The cigarettes and faded blue jeans
The photographs and played back scenes
Never knowing what they mean
I can see your days collides
The indecision codified
The fantasies and rising tide
History happens in real time
ooh ooh ooh
You could be my daydream
My landslide, my slipstream
My devil chasing moonbeams
Intention lost to the mainstream
I could be your joyride
Your agent on the outside
Your lowest low and highest tide
Watch as I revert to type
ooh ooh ooh

Waking up in my hotel room
200 miles back to you
My head feels like porcelain
Keep me for best put me back when you're through
But I believe in possibilities
Just hope that my aim is true
I'm taking my time
I'm protecting what's mine
And what's left of my fragile heart
I'm leaving no trace
And I'm keeping the faith
Before this pulls me apart
Pulls apart
Pulls apart
Staring across this ballroom
300 miles over to you
Giving up to start again
I'll wait for my flowers to bloom
But I believe in possibilities
Just hope that my aim is true
I'm taking my time
I'm protecting what's mine
And what's left of my fragile heart
I'm leaving no trace
And I'm keeping the faith
Before this pulls me apart
Pulls apart
Pulls apart

I see reflections of you in the crowd
No use keeping up with you now
Too many miles left to go
To waste my time chasing a ghost
I know that you're no longer there
Yet I keep on turning around
I still see your face in the crowd
Too many miles left to go
Left this behind, it's all in my mind
(Please just)
You should be dead to me, why won't you go?
(Let me go)
Left this behind, nothing to find
(Can't keep)
You should be dead to me, why wont you go?
(Chasing ghosts)
Why won't you go?
I want to leave all these shadows behind
To pack up my car and just drive
Nothing left here for me now
Except some ghosts in the crowd
Yet I keep on turning my head
I can't get a hold of the thread
Too many miles left to go
To waste my time chasing a ghost
Left this behind, it's all in my mind
(Please just)
You should be dead to me, why won't you go?
(Let me go)
Left this behind, nothing to find
(Can't keep)
You should be dead to me, why wont you go?
(Chasing ghosts)

The Photographer
03:26

|

Though my shoes are worn
Down these streets I go
Catching glimpses of
Shuttered conversations
Quality of light
Through these people I flow
We’re all the sum of
Our misplaced devotions
I remember when
These pictures meant something
Forgotten scenes but not by me
Or the quality of light
Is it too late yet?
Though my shirt is torn
Down these streets I go
Hearing whispers of
The exposed foundations
Quality of light
Through these people I flow
We’re all the product of
Emotional projections
I remember when
These pictures meant something
Forgotten scenes but not by me
Or the quality of light
Is it too late yet?

Pantomime
04:23
|
|
||
|
I can be there if you want me
I can give you space if you need time
Floating away on the breeze
Replaying this old pantomime
What time did love arrive?
When did affection slip out of the room?
But we're just two people
And what the hell can we do?
The stars explode lifetimes away
Our lives played out like a shadow play
Where did it go time washed away
Our lives played out one more matinee
I can be strong if you'd let me
Not just taking up space and wasting time
Good intentions lost at sea
Two sinners chasing the sublime
What time did love arrive?
When did affection slip out of the room?
But we're just two people
And what the hell can we do?
The stars explode lifetimes away
Our lives played out like a shadow play
Where did it go time washed away
Our lives played out one more matinee
The stars explode lifetimes away
Our lives played out like a shadow play
Where did it go time washed away
Our lives played out one more matinee

Breathe Out Grace
05:34
|
|
||
|
Watching the birds above float by
Sunshine on my face and a sapphire blue sky
Breathe in slow and breathe out grace
Tenderness and a warm embrace
It's not weakness, it's strength
It's not a void, it's a well
It's not nothing
They tell me 'just turn it off'
Like it's that easy
Surface deep is all they see
When these stranger turn away
All that's left is you and me
It's not weakness, it's strength
It's not a void, it's a well
It's not nothing
Non fragilitas est
Vis est
Non est in absentia
Fons est

Me Against The Dark
03:35
|
|
||
|
Walking home alone
Drunk and counting stars
The wind it chills my bones
But the whiskey warms my heart
My friends tell me I'm prone
To cherishing my scars
And though I quite like being alone
That will only get me so far
And I know that I've come so far
Into the unknown
Just me against the dark
Got these two hands and these bones
Got the blood inside my heart
Into the unknown
Just me against the dark
Soon I will be home
But my keys are in the bar
Oh no!
