A Forest, A River
04:21

Formed inside your skin
Let it grow
A forest in your veins
A river that cascades
Over every organ note you play
And it will all come soon
And if you love letting go
All will be forgotten
Like a marching band thats slowly
Falling out of time
It became unlistenable
The soundtrack to the only
Happiness you've known
When the cancer ate your lungs
We all fell in your coffin
And held it closed
In the darkness you will find
That this love, a memory
Was always kind
And it will all end soon
And if you love letting go
All will be forgotten
Like a marching band thats slowly
Falling out of time
It became unlistenable
The soundtrack to the only
Happiness you've known
And we all grew up so close
And dissappeared to often
As we lay down on the hill
And returned to the soil
And we form graves of our own
A place to lay a body
Where the heart became a home

Carried away, lost on arrival
Your inner space, is crowded as outer
And everything you know is lost, but us
Would you come home, a stranger invited
And face a return, overwhelming,
And swallow as your mouth fills up with blood?
You doubt it yourself
You wouldn't stay long
You wouldn't be caught out
You still held your tounge
And all you know is lost, but us

The longing makes you hide yourself away
For the body aches, and leaves you wasting
If I could hold a steady note, you'd sway
For the softest voice still finds you tragic
And holds a mirror to your soul
As the memories fading
And the colour all drains away
Told me love is just a slowdive
And we're just waiting till the water breaks
I took every moment from behind your teeth instead of mine
I was always overwhelmingly shy
Well tell me when iot all becomes routine
And I'll change the chords
And you'll adore me
On the surface it all seems serene but what lays underneath
Is going to swallow you whole
Consume completely
And hold a mirror to your soul
As the memories fading
And the colour all drains away
Told me love is just a slowdive
And we're just waiting till the water breaks
I took every moment from behind your teeth instead of mine
I was always overwhelmingly shy

Water runs high
Over the side of another lie
The bitterest taste
Washing you clean again
Well I'll be the land
Each grain of sand
And a violent end that puts me to rest
Always arresting
And letting you know
You were replaceable
Four stars
Mistaken for satellites
Pass by...
Well I will become
A ghost through the autumn
And always return
Resonate slowly
Heard you pulled through the wiring
Straight through the stereo
Where thousands you knew
Stood repeating your name again
Letting you know
You were replaceable
Four stars
Mistaken for satellites
Each one more achingly beautiful
Pass by
In a momet unnoticed then die
And I may never smile again
And the black holes remind me of you
Its been days since your funeral
And the black holes remind me of you
Its been days since your funeral

Our Friend, The Obstacle

I'm facing the wall again, awkward but steady
Holding my own ground, for a shot at the title
I'm filling my lungs with air, making them heavy
Only a short breath, but it ensures survival
Times come to exchange our gifts, speak out in order
All in the right place, if they've taken the right times
I'll always be second best, out of contention
Humouring myself, shot of a rifle
Surprise, you got all you were owed
And I? I'm the prize fighter
And now, Ive done all you've asked of me
And I'm faster than lightning
I'm facing the wall again, awkward but steady
Holding my own ground, for a shot at the title

Hey June, you don't have to change at all
I'm on your side
And you, don't have to love at all
To be on my mind
You speak to god sometimes
Hey June, you don't have to love at all
I know you're right
And you have everything I own
And thats alright
You speak to god sometimes
You said that he'll listen to you
And I know you want him to
You speak to me most nights
Four words fell, heavier truths
That form into, deafening waves

If I lose touch, then I'll be waiting here
Out of clay, Your shape
I shouldn't have let you go undiscovered
But I thought that you would know
How days go slow, we're always waiting here
In your lightest shade
Your skin was as white as snow, drank your colour
And wrote it on every wall
The drums of death pound at my window
I can fix this mess
And in havant,
You told us that your fears were the heart of this place
If thats all you're hiding from, I'll take cover
But I couldn't watch you change
They won't last long, the fleeting moments
Years have a home in your face
I shouldn't have let you go undiscovered
But I thought that you would know
The drums of death pound at my window
I can fix this mess

On A Wave
05:35

Don't come back,
There's so much left to fear
These broken sails, they still rotate
On an ever spinning wheel
If you find something to love,
Waiting for the wind to carry us
Ground it into dust,
Turn it into something else
Slow decay, our bodies fade
In distance in the dark
Lowest moan, a familiar weight
Your burden is my own
You came in on a wave,
Now you just complain you're drowning here
Water fills your lungs
Everything is brand new!
You came in on a wave
The windmill slowed you down
Can we communicate
Wherever you are now?
