Holding onto Ghosts
03:38
|
|||
There's an angel by your side
They hold you when you cry
Lay beside you til the tears have died
There's an angel here tonight
Leave your conscience at the door
Turn away that ghostly paramour
Cast it free and let it fall
To never be recalled
You were never meant to be all by yourself
Holding on to ghosts and dreams
Of some one / else
You were never meant to be a love who,
Lover who's alone
Your pain still ebbs and flows
Cut adrift in ocean undertows
In the chasms of the night
Then released into blazing light
There's an angel by your side
They hold you when you cry
Lay beside you til the tears have died
There's an angel here tonight
You were never meant to be all by yourself
Holding on to ghosts and dreams
Of some one / else
You were never meant to be a love who,
Lover who's alone

Night Planes
04:27
|

I pretend the night planes
Are slow moving shooting stars
And I pretend the night planes
Are comets from afar
Whispering through, through the night
Heading towards the light
Night planes, oh night planes
Take me away
Night planes, oh night planes
Take me away
Flying on the night planes
Oppressors are far below
Gliding over cities
And places I'll never know
Heading to new, new domains
Circumvent all the pain
Night planes, oh night planes
Take me away
Night planes, oh night planes
Take me away
As long as I raise my eyes upwards
To search among the stars
Keeping fingal alive
With hope in the moonlight
Night planes, oh night planes
Take me away
Night planes, oh night planes
Take me away

Insomnia
03:39
|
|||
Remember the ghosts
Laying right here
Seeing shapes in the dark
Held captive by inky fields
Where once I was safe
Feeling you close
Frozen in time
Last evening a dream
The morning so far
Through tunnels that scream
When once I was safe
Hearing you close
Insomnia
Praying for light
To break the night
Insomnia
Praying for light
To break up the fight
I know it will come
And exhausted I'll fall
Into deepest slumber
Where echoes recall
When once I was safe
Feeling you close
The monsters arrive
And swallow me whole
Pulling me into their deep
Where fears, won't let go
Can't find my place
Where once I was safe
Insomnia
Praying for light
To break the night
Insomnia
Praying for light
To break up the fight

His heart
Is a complicated vessel
Pumping strange blood through his veins
Her love
And loyalty got broken
Swallowed and regurgitated pain
When she told him of the butterflies and diamond skulls so bold
His scorn and derision left her cold
The compensation that his ego drew
Made her realise, made her blue
Mother, all that glitters is not gold
Mother, all that glitters is not gold
Three years
Since her world began to crumble
An abandoned orphan in the sun
It's been 2 years
Since she saw his true colours
Like dollar signs on fruit machines undone
When she told him of the butterflies he made a mockery
Pouring scorn and derision on where he’d like to be
The compensation that his ego drew
Made her realise, made her blue….
Mother, all that glitters is not gold
Mother, all that glitters is not gold
He took away the things he loved
And all the things he never sold
And he took his cold plaster of paris heart
Dipped and in sparkles rolled
Dipped and in sparkles rolled
Mother, all that glitters is not gold
Mother, all that glitters is not gold

Never get Away
03:39
|
|||
I left you thirteen years ago
You were mad, you were old
I thought I’d never see you again
I moved around, I finally found
A love agreed, a love for me
But here you are like some comedian
I’ll never get away from you
I’ll never get away from you
Now you’re here, it’s even worse
Some karmic curse I don’t deserve
What did I do to manifest this sore
Your teeth are done, you’ve lost your home
You cry and say you’re all alone
Your misery is haunting me once more
I’ll never get away from you
I’ll never get away from you

The Dangeville Choice
04:42
|
|||
You have the option
To hear the right voice
That schitzophrenic running
Stream of consciousness
The dangeville choice
The lust and the yearning
That darker noise
The urge to destroy all
Self sabotage
To fill that void
It’s when you’re undecided
And veering on the edge
It creeps up from behind
To catch you unaware
You’re in Dangeville, Dangeville
Try to control your darkest desires
Harness your good free will
You’re in Dangeville, Dangeville
But it’s so controlling
Exciting too
Intoxicating powerful
The darker side
That lives within you
Pushing you forward
To do the wrong thing
Viciously steering you away from good
To burn your wings
It’s when you’re undecided
And veering on the edge
It creeps up from behind
To catch you unaware
You’re in Dangeville, Dangeville
Try to control your darkest desires
Harness your good free will
You’re in Dangeville, Dangeville
Forget about about your worries man
And come on over here
Have a drink and have some drugs and have another pill
What the hell, oh go on then and is she underage?
Live life in the moment
Isn’t that what they all say?
You’re in Dangeville, Dangeville
Try to control your darkest desires
Harness your good free will
You’re in Dangeville, Dangeville
You’re in Dangeville
You’re in Dangeville

Breathe
03:05
|
|||
A second’s an hour
An hour’s a lifetime away from you
Resisting the power it
Forces us closer to see this through
See the men
Chasing a love condemned
Hiding in the shadows
Staying out of sight and trying to breathe
Breathe, breathe
Too many favours
The sweat and the labour to get this far
There’s no room for failure now
We’ve rehearsed and we’ve played it out
Just let it out, let it out
See the men
Chasing a love condemned
Hiding in the shadows
Staying out of sight and trying to breathe
Breathe, breathe
Oh won’t you breathe, won’t you breathe

That Night
05:02
|
|||
Night, it's the middle of the night
I still see the dark stars shine
In the middle of my mind
Can they feel the energy
That runs through me
When they're asleep
Can they taste that sense of freedom
Start to seep out
Breaking free
When all the lights are down
And no-one is around
The ritual begins
The sermon of my sins
To wash away the girl that was before
Trying to escape the love we didn't make
That night
Pushing back the hate that terrible mistake
Of mine
Life, you can fold or you can fight
The blows it deals you can decide
To be defeated or to rise
Can they feel the energy
That runs through me relentlessly
Can they hear the silent screaming
Rising up inside of me
Oh the freedom it brings
This magic this water
Cleansing out and within
Trying to wash away the pain
Trying to wash away the stain

This Mercy
04:31
|
|||
Watch over me
Watch as I sleep
This mercy will take time my love
This mercy will take time
Leniency it
Doesn't come easily
This mercy will take kindness my love
This mercy will take time
Fires may start
And plates they may smash
But who picks up the pieces
And who sweeps up the ash
Proving to me
I'm all you need
This mercy could be yours my love
This mercy could be yours
Fires may start
And plates they may smash
But who picks up the pieces
And who sweeps up the ash
Don't be afraid
To say you're sorry
Don't be afraid
To lay your fears at my feet
The dreams that we had
The dreams that turned bad
This mercy will take time my love
This mercy will take time

Tracks of My Tears
02:56
|
|||
People say I'm the life of the party
Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another boy
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although he may be cute
He's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Look a little bit closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Look a bit closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Forest Fires
04:07
|
|||
I see it all as yesterday
Clear like polished glass
Wish we could've made it last
Blades of sunlight through the trees
Shining down the creek
See those dimples in your cheeks
The forest fires keep burning red and gold
Hearing choppers in the breeze
Your saying, don't drop the juice baby
This is what I'll think of when I'm old
I'm dancing and I'm free
Running through the leaves
The birds flew up and flew away
Trying to escape
Swooping through the haze
In two fell swoops to mark the day
Innocence a joke
All gone up in smoke
The forest fires keep burning red and gold
Hearing choppers in the breeze
I’m saying, don’t cross the bridge baby
This is what I'll think of when I'm old
I'm dancing and I'm free
Running through the leaves
When the forest fires were gold
