For you to taste the words renewal brings
Over your tongue they rest like silky strands of dreams
You let them run like river waterfalls
Crashing into walls
All you want is for it to get higher
Until the promises make you a liar
But it doesn’t make sense to me
Where the land meets the sea
You let them run like river waterfalls
Crashing into walls
All you want is for it to get higher
Until the promises make you a liar
But it doesn’t make sense to me
Where the land meets the sea
You just want me to make you higher
Until the promises collapse and bury me
It doesn’t make sense to me
The land meets the sea
(Instrumental section)
For you to taste the words renewal brings
Over your tongue they rest like silky strands of dreams
You let them run like river waterfalls
Crashing into walls
All you want is for it to get higher
Until the promises make you a liar
But it doesn’t make sense to me
Where the land meets the sea
(End Section)
Standing on a cliff above the sea
Where are we now?
You’ve taken up so much space in my head
Where are we now?
I beg of you, what should we do, again
Where are we now?
We made it to the hilltop
But where are we now?
You just want me to make you higher
Until the promises collapse and bury me
It doesn’t make sense to me
The land meets the sea
Blood meets bone
The sea meets stone
But just where are we now?
Where are we now?

Whole Again
04:12
|

Here comes the specter
Haunting my brain
Brings out the witness
Brings out the shame
Shows me the future
So much to fear
All of my choices
Have led me right here
My fate is what I fear
Can’t make it disappear
Nearly a lifetime
Under the rain
Distorted mirror
Broken again
I feel the wind chill
Around my bones
Don’t try to save me
I’m already home
My fate is what I fear
Can’t make it disappear
Every now and then
I think of the things that could have been
To make me whole agai

What You're Saying Now
04:27

Turn this metal into gold
A dead star into a sun
This broken body unconsoled
Into a charm for everyone
because …
I know what I heard
I hung on every single word
It’s not what you’re saying now
I know what I heard
I clung to every single word
It’s not what you’re saying now
What you’re saying now
Make this sunken wreckage whole
This prison a release
Turn this demon in my head
Into an agent of peace
because …
I know what I heard
I hung on every single word
It’s not what you’re saying now
I know what I heard
I clung to every single word
It’s not what you’re saying now
What you’re saying now
I know what I heard
I hung on every single word
It’s not what you’re saying now
I know what I heard
You said this pain was undeserved
It’s not what you’re saying now
What you’re saying now

Butcher in Your Brain
02:52
|

|
Did I say something wrong?
Did I tear it to pieces?
All my words have diseases
Could be the end is near
Now wouldn’t that be tragic?
It’s nothing short of magic
There’s nothing for you here
Facing your fear …
Soaking up the stain
Dripping down the wall
The butcher’s in your brain
And you are going to crawl
Did I say something wrong?
Did I tear it to pieces?
Could be the end is near
Now wouldn’t that be tragic?
It’s nothing short of magic
Soaking up the stain
Dripping down the wall
The butcher’s in your brain
And you are gonna crawl

Things Will Fall Apart
03:37
|
|||
|
You wonder what has led you here
Your past and future disappear
You can’t look down, you’re much too high
The darkness drops over your eyes
Things will fall apart
Chimera, chimera
Only the careless hear you cry
All of your pain will satisfy
They stare at you blank as the sun
The same look worn by everyone
Things will fall apart
Chimera, chimera

All Your Idols
06:32
|

|
They make you feel like you’ve been seen
Like you’ve been recognized
Filling you with hopes and dreams
And visions of paradise
Open your eyes
The world has changed
All of the places rearranged
Now that the sky has fallen
Your better angels fade away
Now that the city’s burning
All of the faces turn away
They tell you things aren’t what they seem
That you’ve been hypnotized
That windmills are the war machines
Come to seize your mind
Open your eyes
The world has changed
All of the faces rearranged
Open your mind
You’ve been deceived
All of your idols are diseased
Now that the sky has fallen
Your better angels fade away
Now that the city’s burning
All of the faces turn away
Stand outside your broken home
Forming words with sticks and stones
Set aside your bitter pill
Everything from here is just
Downhill …
Now that the sky has fallen
Your better angels fade away
Now that the city’s burning
All of the faces turn away
All of the faces turn
They turn away …
All of your idols turn
They turn away …

Come What May
03:29
|

|
I’ve given up on your sympathy
Your mind is made, who you want to be
A hazy daze of you and I
It’s just something that you deny
When I’m sorry’s all there is to say
You light the fuse and you walk away
When there is no other getaway
You light the fuse and you walk away
There is no magic word
There is no cleansing fire
No sacred purifier
So come what may
You light the fuse
And walk away
You sweep away all the ash and bone
The haunted place where you live alone
In the walls, in the fold away
Chasing rats in the alleyway
When I’m sorry’s all there is to say
You light the fuse and you walk away
There is no magic word
There is no cleansing fire
No sacred purifier
So come what may
You light the fuse
And walk away

Beyond the Fire
05:22
|
|||
|
So, you find yourself alone with empty hands
Walking aimlessly beyond the fire
I can see you in the ruins and decay
Wishing the world away
Wishing the world away
Wish it away …
Now you see the rose you threw into the fire
In the corner of your tortured mind
It's the burden that you carry everyday
Turning the gold to gray
Turning the gold to gray
A burning bridge is what’s left behind
And now regret is all you will find
All you will find …
Wishing the world away
Wishing the world away
Wish it away …

I Have Little To No Memory of These Memories

Mike Mills, and Salty. What more needs said? Incredible music and Art that should have the chance to be enjoyed by all. When it comes to music from Australia, Toehider is relatively unknown compared to INXS or Kylie I assume. I am working on that, one friend at a time.
