Scared To Capsize
04:46
|

Wasn’t that what you said?
Wasn’t that what you meant to say?
With three little words you lied
I don’t think you realise
Wasn’t worried by the time, no
The time, but
What took you so long?
Wasn’t bothered by the lukewarm emotion
I played along
Wasn’t that what you said?
Wasn’t that what you meant to say?
With three little words you lied
I don’t think you realise
So you spill your heart all over computer
But not to my eyes
Darling drink your nervous wine, yeah
I know you’re scared to capsize
Wasn’t that what you said?
Wasn’t that what you meant to say?
With three little words you lied
I don’t think you realise
There’s nothing to say
There’s nothing to say
There’s nothing to do
There’s nothing to do
There’s nothing to say
I think that it’s time you went away
I’m sorry I wrote
I’m sorry I called
I’m sorry I broke your easy fall
I’m sorry I cared
I’m sorry I tried
I’m sorry I cried in front of you
Wasn’t that what you said?
Wasn’t that what you meant to say?
With three little words you lied
I don’t think you realise

Drown Me Out
04:08
|
|||
We’re not safe here now, I have burned the lighthouse down
You’re not good for me
Diving dreams to sea, but the rocks have stopped me
They’re not friendly
Would you fall asleep so I can’t reach you?
Would you turn away so I can’t touch you?
Forfeit myself - drown me, drown me out
Sick of silence - drown me, drown me out
I’m not sorry - drown me, drown me out
Kisses smother me - drown me out
Darkness take me soon
Water suck me under - it’s my escape from you
Would you fall asleep so I can’t reach you
Would you turn away so I can’t touch you
Forfeit myself - drown me, drown me out
Sick of silence - drown me, drown me out
I’m not sorry - drown me, drown me out
Kisses smother me
So you’re throwing a rope
Cos your victim is overboard
But I’m looking for something wonderful
To keep me in this lifeboat
Would you fall asleep so I can’t reach you
Would you turn away so I can’t touch you
Forfeit myself - drown me, drown me out
I’m not sorry - drown me, drown me out
Sadness suffocate - drown me, drown me out
Sick of silence, sick of myself
Drown me out

A-Hole

Digging ourselves a hole
Dark little cave to lie low
Take off our faces and carry on so
We’re digging ourselves a hole
I’ll mix you a drink of my tears
Spike it with blood, lust and cheer
As it pours from my punctures please kiss me my dear
Raise your glass to mine
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Digging ourselves a hole
Take it in turns to patrol
I’ll build the watchtower if you take the toll
Back to back we’ll face the world
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect
Connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect

Paper Thin
05:29
|

I’m in the wars - I blame the bad weather
A flood of tears, I drift without a shelter
Reduce my world to things that I have worked for
I lick my wounds and wonder if I can mend the year
Awake
No sleep til I make
Black dreams dissipate
Ooh I crashed down, I burned out along the way
I’m a sunny day with threat of thunder, threat of rain
Ooh I crashed down, I came round to devastate
Anyway I let my skin grow paper thin
And that’s okay
I heal myself with friends and conversation
Some time alone, a sober celebration
I was told I feel things too much
But I know it hurts to be touched
Ooh I crashed down, I burned out along the way
I’m a sunny day with threat of thunder, threat of rain
Ooh I crashed down, I came round to devastate
Anyway I let my skin grow paper thin
And that’s okay
Cos I see stars
And I small roses (on good days)
All this is ours
Let’s do amazing things with good hearts
Ooh I crashed down, I burned out along the way
I’m a sunny day with threat of thunder, threat of rain
Ooh I crashed down, I came round to devastate
Anyway I let my skin grow paper thin, paper thin
I’m a sunny day with threat of thunder, threat of rain
I’m in the wars, I blame the bad weather

Delete
03:20
|

Don't stop
Pass by
We didn’t know that we’d survive
A simple start
I wasn't expecting to fly
I’d like to delete myself
Don't like to repeat myself
I’d like to delete myself
Don't like to repeat myself
It's no
But don’t go
Everyone’s getting old so quickly, what are we gonna do with this now
I’m so tired
I wasn’t thinking about kids and the future
I’d like to delete myself
Don't like to repeat myself
I’d like to delete myself
Don't like to repeat myself
Ohhh
Don’t stop the clock
Don’t mention the time
Eyes front and we’ll all be fine
Some sorry state
You left me in
Tearstained, scuffed and dazzling
I’d like to delete myself
Don't like to repeat myself
I’d like to delete myself
Don't like to repeat myself

In This Boat
04:49
|

In this boat I look for signs of morning
In these sails a bond I cannot keep
In this heart I hear a siren calling
Set to sea I turn my salty cheek
Don't wake up
Don't cry out
In these arms I hope for sweet surrender
In these veins I hunt for poetry
In this vessel floating to the future
Weeping weather fills the cold grey sea
Don't wake up
Don't cry out
Don't make a sound
Let tempest come
His won't be done
Illuminate my arrow
In this boat is all we ever needed
In this storm I know we will not drown
In this battleship far from homeland
Rock this body
I'll ride the wave back down
Don't wake up
Don't cry out
Don't make a sound
Confusion go - protect my home
On land or sea they won't take me
Let tempest come
His won't be done
Illuminate my arrow
You are an anchor
I am a wave

Undone
03:13
|

Drinking morning coffee late, today I’m in a dream
All the colours shifted imperceptibly
Happy for a moment then dark thoughts slide in-between
Cos I’m not okay, okay I’m not - no
I’m not okay, no I’m not
You say life goes on
But I’ve come undone
Some days I just really miss someone
Mental mausoleum - I display my memories
Light another candle for a friend at sea
Tell me these good people don’t deserve life’s cruelty
Cos it’s not okay, okay it’s not - no
It’s not okay, no it’s not
You say life goes on
But I’ve come undone
Some days I just really miss someone
You say life goes on
But I’ve come undone
Some days I just really miss someone
Someone
Someone

Dear Heart
03:50
|
|||
Vena cava, cardiac, hollow vein
Powering my dreams with sweet sustain
Delicate muscle you’re not built to hate
Your quiet biology I appreciate
Dear heart I was wrong for all the things I put you through
Greasy fingermarks stain
You’ve been neglected, been abused
But I will always treasure you
Atrioventricular be true
Should’ve never let the world break you
One day you’ll slow down and so will I
At least I have time to apologise
Dear heart I was wrong for all the things I put you through
Greasy fingermarks stain
You’ve been neglected, been abused
But I will always treasure you
Dear heart I was wrong for all the things I put you through
Greasy fingermarks stain
You’ve been neglected, been abused
But I will always treasure you
For as long as I get to
Til my finger are turning blue
I will always care for you
Thank you
