Invasion 04:05
Hear the footsteps down the hallway Hear the footsteps Hear Hear Hear the footsteps down the hallway Rattle on the edges Breaking fences Follow me always Hear the footsteps down the hallway Rattle on the edges Breaking fences They follow me always Hear the footsteps down the hallway Rattling on the edges Breaking fences They follow me always Hear Your love shattered like a mirror Broke into the lives of few Every cut, an open glass Every cut, an open wound Hear (Hear me now) Hear

Loon 04:22
See The shadow of your life against the windowpane Again It’s like you said There’s beauty in the fight but blood is always red Red Can you feel it? The edge of the blade kiss the skin of my neck Feel it) Feel the features of your face from your silhouette Feel it) The smell of drunken people and cigarettes Rain Hits the ground, that fills the earth Like all the tears that fill my hurt and kiss my Face But all in all is fine You’ve wasted nothing real, only a matter of time A friend of a friend of a friend is dead You’re caught up in a Hollywood scandal while you’re making amends For a life that you’ve never known And all the friends that you’ve lost They were flowers to the cold Can you feel it? The edge of the blade kiss the skin of my neck Feel it Feel the features of your face from your silhouette Feel it The sound of broken strings is a song of a friend Do you feel alive? Do you feel at all? Do you feel alive? Do you feel at all? Do you feel alive? Do you feel at all? Rain Hits the ground that fills the earth Like all the tears that fill my hurt and kiss my Face Hits the ground, it fills the earth Like all the tears that fill my hurt and kiss my Rain

Tall Grass 04:18
Sweet lady The eyes of your soul grow lonely and old But if you stay here The dreams that you love will die in the cold And in the fire But you already know I was somewhere else; despair I just want to be who you want me to be I’m around All that you know, that you love, that you hope, not around How can I attempt to save you now Stalking up behind us, hiding in the darkness Of the Tall Grass Sweet lady I’ve seen it before in the smiles of a friend Don't try to make me Stay in this hole and die in my bed And in my head But you already know Flowers die in the cold (Flowers die in the cold) And I was somewhere else; despair I just want to be who you want me to be I’m around All that you know, that you love, that you hope, not around How can I attempt to save you now Stalking up behind us, hiding in the darkness Of the Tall Grass

Real Love 05:01
Speak slowly Let the feeling kick right in You let me know your name Before you let me know your sin Burn softly Am I the beggar or the king? But I know you At least I thought I knew you well You take me to your door on the seventh floor of hell I thought I knew you well And I thought it was you You Pictures on your wall Speak slowly Let the guilty fall in line With a warning shot fired straight between your eyes You turn grey now winged, cursed, painted blind Oh let the guilty fall in line This is not real Real love This is not real Real love This is not real Real love This is not real Real love Real love Real love Real love

Love was once a word Devoid of any meaning Spoken in the quiet hush of lovers simply leaving Like you say, how do you do? You said it was true cause you say, how I love you You and I Painting colours in the sky For love to have its meaning It is shared among two lovers My heart has ceased its search my dear And will not ever find another Like you You say, how do you do? You said it was true as you say “How I love you” You and I Painting colours in the sky You and I Colours in the sky You and I Colours in the sky You and I Colours in the sky You and I The sky The sky The sky The sky

Whispers 03:46
Whispers from the water Call me ‘cross the river bank I lie if these words don’t ring true I know it’s him this morning Wouldn’t lie through my teeth I know it’s him this morning He just couldn’t see me Like the sailor man from Cohen’s ‘Suzanne’ I cry for him to see Not in weakness and surrender but in heaven’s supremist splendour you are free A woman lies dwelling Her words softly compelling She whispers all the things I like to hear My hands are young but broken My words are but a token For death to keep a record of my tongue Let the sailor cry from his weeping eye He’d cry for you to see Not in weakness and surrender But in heaven’s supremist splendour you are free All I am All I ever was And all I’ve ever known And every part of me All I owe All of me It is yours It is yours

Blank White 05:29
Hear the call of the loon Spark your eyes against the moon my love Reaching out against the world You felt the love and you feel the hurt alone Maybe I’m a son to you Revert to a friend inside this room I know you long to touch the sand Find my heart and you’ll find my hands my love I see you shine The depths of your eyes You look to me as the world turned cold You sing what you know Like tears through the snow I see you shine as you burn blank white See your friends they’re crying Like strangers as they’re dying But it’s all the same to you And everything that you’ve ever known Is beauty of a daughter and words on a stone as you touch a friendly face I saw you shine The depths of your eyes You looked to me as the world turned cold You sang what you knew As you left us too soon I’ll see you shine as you burn blank white Blank white Lost

St John 08:30
I walk past the gate that he built Past the couch where thought and read a book from his head that no one could quite understand As I walk past a man and up to my dad who usually sits so tall Now his head hangs low What can he see St John looks defeated But I won't believe Til he has conceded And I judge by a lie Broken like the door that he chose to be lying there surrounded on the floor He has tears in his eyes I hear descriptions I despise As two fingers lift to the sky off of his neck Now I’m left He left And now I can say St John is bereft And I I know not of this Of heaven's sweet kiss that lay so gently on his lips As I helplessly know But it’s silent now Can I breathe in and out But it’s silent now Can he breathe in and out Is this like heaven Is this like heaven It’s so sweet And it’s so sweet Will he live in love Can he breathe in and out Can I breathe in and out Can I breathe in and out In and out Out I walk I walk I walk Past all that I knew And all that I am All that I am I am reborn Take me take me as I am In life light, in dark Hear me, hear me as I sing As I sing Silent truths can often bring a certain truth from within if you let it Let it breathe Let it breathe Let it breathe
