Sea Of Trees

Follow me down, throw off your crown
This disaster is leaving, the last train from town
And this might bring me down
but I'll burn like a star to the ground.
In the sea I will swim through the silt and the sand,
Rust upon rocks, crashed to the shore
And this might bring me down
but I'll burn like a star to the ground.
Coming undone in the sea and the sun
Roll with the waves and the tide,
Sing me a rhyme, set me at ease
Crumble to dust, float with the wind in the night.
Hung upon trees in the cool rising sun
All liquored up, ready to swing
Do you care about loss
or do you find it a thorn in your side?
And the air that I breathe is pathogen free
Injecting the dead, a Holocaust born
And I'll turn us to ash,
but we'll burn like one thousand suns.
Oh I don't believe the callous critique
The judgement, the gallows the gun.
Break all the chains of this mortal decay,
The coil the lies like a snake.
Take all the chances, ring all the bells, decay in a fashionable sense.
C'mon and sing me the rhyme of ill ease
Crumble to dust, float with the wind in the night.

A Wish Away

A wish away the time, the day
Come back down, we've a whole lot to say
A time to shift, to shake it loose.
Well it ain't misery, that bears any fruit.
I see phantoms fly, we hear whispers cry
I wish you merrily, often silently.

The Gap
09:28
|
|||
|
Try to speak in half measures
Keep us all in line
True north betrays the south
A lie from time to time.
And you bridge the gap
You tried to bind
And you leap so high
No-one ever minds
Turn to speak and forget your lines
A post-script of the times
Baby steps in a big, bad world
You find yourself defined.
Somewhat sane before the fall
It's just their way to make you pay
To cut you down, to wish you well
Cut you down, wish you well.
It's just their way to make you pay
To cut you down to wish you well
Somewhat sane before the fall

Laughing Again
05:29
|

Here we go laughing away
A song for our sins and we pay
One for this world and one for the next
Gather your silver and gold
Lie with me so sensually
Cry with me cleansing and free
Cry out for life, cry out for death
But it's death that's all that we see
Here we go laughing again
Death it goes laughing again
One for this world, one for the next
Gather your silver and gold.
It's a hard, hard road.

Wandering Man
05:21

You took the stars before I could see.
Made me regret history
Well I didn't mind, now I do.
Finally denying the truth
Decide when to come up to you
Finality rules in the end
It's a cycle my friend.
I took the gamble you took the cash
Made me regret what I once had
I shouldn't mind but I do.
Take all your winnings
Squirrel them away
Pick one true love and never stray
Cos time ain't too kind to a wandering man
Finally denying the truth
Decide when to come up to you
Finality rules in the end
It's a cycle my friend
And this shit never ends
Take all your winnings
Squirrel them away
Pick one true love and never stray
Slay all your demons, bring them to heal
Goodbye to romance cos finance is king
Don't distrust strangers, magical things
Decide on the ending, bring it to bare
Happy or tragic the way it is here
Cos time ain't too kind
For a wandering man.

Gold Medallions
03:22

Fake gold medallions, flashing talons sinister themes.
By god you were precious but so serious we all had to leave
So heartfelt it's sickening and unsettling,
Say goodbye when you're free.
Try as I might under dimming moonlight
We've all lost a lover but I always recover
It's you, but always it's me.
Trimmed back ideals and your fears honey unreal
By god we were precious and precarious, we all should have fell
Such a touching beginning but your ending defies and defeats.

Leaving Scars
03:55
|
|||
|
Someone say and someone knows
You can never say if no-one shows
Keep turning bad and breaking hearts
You're leaving scars, a bruise, a mark the time away
Time to fade away
Form a line of broken hearts
I'm not that scared but I'm not that smart
Pray to thee a mystery me
Imaginary saints and angels brought me here
Utopia I'll be there
A mark, a stain will fade away.

Find Me, Find You.
05:11
|

|
I'm just a heartache waiting to happen
And the walls are closing in
I had a dream last night I didn't feel so good
When I woke it all came true
Look away, the sun divides the day
Lead me to the shadows far away
I'm just a fool to circumstance and chance
Machinations hidden from view
Crawling undercover when the sunrise hits
Just a heart attack written for you
Find me some peace
I'm slipping to far into your dark orbit
Burning on re-entry find me, find you.
