I feel like I died three years ago it's so hard to offer hope when you feel like you're alone If everything's a feeling I could offer mine but why? when I can't face the sight I know I could fall in love again see the world with fresh eyes but sooner or later I'd start again seeing to the other side Even devotion knows it's hard to play the chords give any thief an apple he'll just get worse have you ever known love without the fall? the floor on your knees at a strangers door Baby, deer roam swans fly herons nest I'll die a little

Held up the wine in the bottle with a shoe on the blanket on the lawn flirted it out thinking about celebrating gonna havoc with you honing in on heaven had to veer away words are failing for a fallible cage wish to wish to wish things could stay that's the best you can do in this slippery state that's the price you pay when you play the game to love is to love a love that will get away time betrays gives nothing it wont take to love is to love a love that will get away another stanza another stab at you're a foreign land I'm a panzer tank time is dripping let's condensate I want to know you when the surprises are few you're gonna be there balanced on the slope I'm your rescue you're my rock and rope that's the price you pay when you play the game to love is to love a love that will get away time betrays gives nothing it wont take to love is to love a love that will get away

Heron's Nest 04:28
I just want to take you in the ocean naked and lay with our backs in the sea see you balance in the shallows smiling like a child effervescent like the vapour found a mouth-piece for the wild and rest you in the water like a stone frigid and light like your soul when I sing you into me like a breath and move with the tide as we push into the deep you tell me Angel hair threaded in rivers of light columns of heaven raining on time wilted from the dry spell exhausted from the climb mouth dry my words are like sand and you're the water in my hand Who am I to opine that the rivers of time have thwarted me with heckles when they cover me clean? at the start I'd have given everything just to be where I am as I sing What fabric did you barter? I mean what bargain were you offered? I mean how did you come to me? what silk of a gown? what chalk of a crown? what body in the morning from the pavement depletes? what dream? Fragile fawn and innocent rose darting kisses on each other's cheeks is this slumber rest? my heron's nest a peck and a peck for the weak it can all be so beautifully bleak it can all be so beautifully bleak it can all be so beautifully bleak

Time's a thief I know, I know, I know, I know, I know but it was me that couldn't escape gravity love depletes I know, I know, I know, I know, I know or spins recedes but I'll keep drifting to your shore that's how your voice reminds me it's all about the energy and not so much about the way it flows that comes as some relief cos' lately I've stopped questioning I've found the pen again and I only want to write my name I'm feeling young again a leaf upon a dancing breeze was it a change in direction? a dog bark in Japan? a miscreant correction of the orbits around Saturn? if I've nothing left that I am here to prove I only want to prove it's you Yesterday I forgot about my body weightless shifting bringing all the angels out of hiding I mistook a halo for the sunlight in your eye and I was waiting for your love that comes as some relief cos' lately I've stopped questioning I've found the pen again and I only want to write my name I'm feeling young again a leaf upon a dancing breeze was it a change in direction? a dog bark in Japan? a miscreant correction of the orbits around Saturn? if I've nothing left that I am here to prove I only want to prove it's you

Everyone who sought power was stripped of their badge even this song prevents me from the act and the people all voted with the pull of their heart to find those devoted to the pull of their art and with the subtle grace of falling snow their music covered the land like a covert assassin climbing the ranks on the day he is made the kings hand Rise up rise up waking dreamers creators of time your canvas is existence and your colours are life And the thrones of man grew dusty and cold if ever a metaphor for the old World there was in long forgotten corridors occasionally sounds a sigh how funny to think those foolish beasts for freedom would lay down and die Rise up rise up waking dreamers creators of time your canvas is existence and your colours are life Rise up waking dreamers rise up waking dreamers And the choir sang and the sails fell in communion heaven rejoiced to know from now our saviours are those with the purest voice and the choir sang from every ledge a melody pure and sweet for the quiet song of falling snow finally fell at their feet Rise up rise up waking dreamers creators of time your canvas is existence and your colours are life Rise up waking dreamers rise up waking dreamers

Love Is War 03:09
Carefully curated 'do I give a shit?' vibe please don't message me I'm addicted to ruining my life I'd question your mentality if you sympathise the iridescent messenger out to overthrow 'love is blind' I'm in a zip lock you tripped down the steps we made hot dogs had a lot of sex Cachaça on the counter while accounting our collateral in copulation undignified you're in a cold spring in a hot spell butt naked with the kid up there looking down I'm sorry it's not more that we've dismantled all the tropes of love I'm on the ropes, still swinging but it was you who said it 'for love is war' you hauled the Avalon down the landspine you tore my heart out but screwed it back in time like a bone spur in a cockle shell we laugh about the barcode horse sing Newsome and forget ourselves you wore my cap right I took your words to heart you wrapped around my neck like a black star you keep reaching me when I fall down I didn't come when you called and I never will forgive myself I'm sorry it's not more that we've dismantled all the tropes of love I'm on the ropes, still swinging but it was you who said it 'for, love is war'

I Had A Boat 03:36
I had a boat battered and twisted and worn out we were moored up between Keynsham and Frome why didn't you work, damn it I laid my hair down I lay my hair down and the words pour out I lay my hair down and the words fall out I had a boat battered and twisted and worn I have a song set up in me like fire in wine rallied and long bought by yours symmetry in the way we do dance love, it's over your body I'm already on your bed what if your skin and mine would die for all your want? and lower mine to damn throw your hand to the bone I'm leaving on the wave I came in on I had a boat but it's gone I had a boat but it's gone I had a boat but it's long gone

When there was a small bug on my phonescreen I felt like God I was typing to you and it was dancing for its life somewhere be reasons that I daren't define that an ego trip could pass for time if this is what you really need then you do need it forever? or maybe you're caught in a trap cos' it's yours already? mirror on the horizon that glares in my eye the Sun you're frosting up my iris with your gum and caught it in the pages of a book I once kept where I told you that I loved you and I let myself weep for days and I wrote it into myself like a crazed man or a lion in a cage cos' I grew up on fields much like this one and I know it's in you but I've seen you lately you're wrapped up in your human suit and I've tasted what I came to taste so why do I ask for more? cos' I wrote you in my skin at such a terrible time there was hours to go and I was counting the ones I had liked restlessly I was full of passion I was full of Christ I was full of whatever I defined and I defined recklessly endless sleep I don't mind I will wear you like an honour in my badge of sins I caught you when I was headed back against the wind I will wear you with honour I will wear you like a skin I will cut you in my neck I will bury you within endlessly there is movement in your ocean there is dancing on your floor there is innocence in my intent and I will blur endless sleep
9.
All in all I'm a fraud a spill or a bloodclot a dancing echo on a cloth a tremble in your mother's love the night made matter and if I do molten mannered mildly musical if there's a song under my wing you bet your bottom dollar I would give my last one just to sing to you there's a tempest in your hissing summer lawn and a butterfly wing wiped New Orleans from the map but my confidence lays in the blankets of ether not 'for your sins' like 'for my sins I can't put it down' not 'believe in me' but 'believe as I do and you'll be crowned' not 'son of god' like a ghost had laid an egg like 'son of god' like 'we're cut from the same damn thread' not 'for your sins' like 'for my sins I can't put it down' not 'believe in me' but 'believe as I do and you'll be crowned' not 'son of god' like a ghost had laid an egg like 'son of god' like 'we're cut from the same damn thread' in the blankets of ether I knew I had you in me tonight now your out and I'm swimming in you

The Tourist 07:18
The tourist doesn't know he's on holiday but he knows, it doesn't feel like home he's sure, he remembers yesterday he wears it when he flies it lays next to him at night in the circus, the mirrors distort your face you smile, if you're prone to crying in diminishing astonishment as you grow increasingly incontinent with your feet upon the continents and your heart in the clouds it's fine, I think you've done this forever every time, I think you've done this forever get up get out go outside we're all waiting on your smile we're all waiting on your smile get up get out go outside we're all waiting on your smile we're all waiting on your smile I swear been doing this forever been doing this forever been doing this forever get up get out go outside we're all waiting on your smile we're all waiting on your smile get up get up get outside we're all waiting for your smile I'll know it when I see it baby the clues are getting closer to the bone if it's one way or the other we ride in on love cos' fear, fear oh fear, might try to hold you down like every other run around but I swear you've been doing this forever been doing this forever been doing this forever been doing this forever I swear (I swear) I swear been doing this forever (been doing this forever) been doing this forever (been doing this forever) been doing this forever (been doing this forever) thank you for the chance to try again

Youth dressed all of your senses and the water ran warm that you felt with all of your senses I saw you in your final form exotic princess in the kingdom of Sun dressed with a menace like when you were young beneath the world tree everyone dancing swimming to retain something of when you return to lift up and when you return tell them what you've learned retain return

Love is communion, union and bond Bound to life and Mother's love Life is woven, communion and dawn Between thought and skin Form it is molten Machine of time Time it is golden Speed of light Time is frozen Crystalline expression of every moment you've spent A jumping in point A diving in board The moment is now Staring out God is alive Seeing himself Love is communion, union and bond Suffering ancient archaic lie Ripples are reaching Propelling God Ripples are reaching Out in to time But time it is learning To minimise pain Pain is a crater Waiting for love Love and obsession Addiction and greed Love magnifies The absence of these Compassion and calm Are replacing doubt Love has been nurtured And freedom abounds Nurture prevails We're all learning now Moments of singular Unbroken time From now to the moment you opened your eyes Any second from here I'm somebody else God is alive and seeing himself But God is the constant God is alive Harmony threading All around time Beauty abundant Hate it is gone Courage is rampant Fear it is gone Constant has opened her mouth to sing Gathering songs on celestial drum Archaic forces take to the stand Eternity reaches from your reaching hand God is alive Seeing himself Any second from here I'm somebody else God is alive Seeing himself Any second from here I'm somebody else
