Where Do We Go
02:24
|
|

Where do we go I’ve been so alone / Travelling out to the sea / Where do we go I’ve been so alone / Anchor me home with you here / I’m scared, I’m scared don’t wanna go / The devil is using my fears / You built a raft for me here / We could sail oceans not care where we go / I’ll bring the good book and light / Guide our way through as we head through the night / As we head through the night / Head through the night / Where do we go I’ve been so alone / Now I’ll be away for a year / Where do we go I’ve been so alone / Anchor me home with you here / Moved through the fabric the stiches I‘ve sown / Frayed are the edges of me / See I watched as the tide took all that I own / No possessions are mine left to keep / Where do we go I’ve been so alone / Travelling out to the sea/ Salt saturated colour and tone / Flooded disaster through me / I’m scared, I’m scared Lord save me / Take me from these fears

Heart Locked Up
02:24
|
|

He’s too honest to have a twisted, hidden agenda / He is one clever guy, but he could not read my mind / I’ve known him since seventeen so I think I have a claim, but you can’t trade in your hurt no / It’s not measured by your pain / Oh my, oh my // So I will keep my heart locked up / I will keep my heart locked up // Well, I know everything about him, he knows my middle name / I haven’t shared his bed, but we’ve shared the sun and rain / Now there’s nothing left to do, I’ll have to lock myself away / But don’t you dare come round no I couldn’t take the pain / These things that you’ll never know / I know that you’ll never be mine / I don’t wanna cry / Driving in his car

Inglorious
03:22
|
|
||
You only understand when you get there / Blood on your face and your wet hair / I was travelling, said there’s only one way to get there / And I was foolish cause I was dead with or without it // Can you wade through the dirt inglorious / Gratitude’s thin, no one knows where you’ve been / Can you take all your pain and take your hurt / When caving in, risk to run it thin // Tighten my grip when my hands full / Wasting the time I could give all / I was troubled, narrowed all my vision no cut through / Not seeing, reckless to presume where you’ve been to / Swift the trick and play on streets where I untied / Visit seek, the hollow speech / I’m mocked and bleached / I will stun, the violent one / And hold your hand

Lucky One
02:24
|
|
||
He was my day, he touched light to my face / I gave him the space, he took up my heart’s place / Sun went down upon the love that ran out / Smouldering glow, I was never to know // I was the lucky one / I was his only one / I was the lucky one / I was his only one // Promises carved into the evergreen bark / An era that’s past, I touched the lying mark / He left with the clocks, I saw the boat hit the rocks / I lived there before, now was I watching offshore // I was the lucky one / I was safe from harm / God I was the lucky one / I was safe from harm // He’s driftwood of what he used to be / Can’t hear his voice singing sweet / Siren calls to him to be free / I’m torn out now slow to see

Butterfly
02:35
|
|
||
Water the earth, see the leaves and the trees come up from the ground from nothing / And the sun that’s up in the sky won’t give up its light ‘til wrong is split from right // Hello butterfly, hello butterfly / When I open my eyes / Help me realise I’m alive I said / I could get into this / I could get into this oh / I could get into this living life // I’m alone now, and I feel You standing by / And I know now, it’s not a waste of my life / It’s not wasted, it’s not wasted on me / It’s not wasted, it’s not wasted on me I said

Take My Soul
03:33
|
|
||
//Take my soul down to the water / My red hands have nothing to offer / Pack up, was lost // I was loved from the start / There was a price on my heart / I was loved from the start / I could not see it I was afraid / But there’s life in these hands / But I know not when it ends / There is life in these hands / I cannot see it to my dismay / I saw struggle and strife / Easier may be to hide / But truth I can’t deny / It was not You who caused their crime / No church building You brought / No war condoned that men have fought / Without love it was not sought / We got it wrong, we used Your name in vain

Just Let Go
03:59
|
|
||
When you wake in the morning feel the weight of your heart / Did you know that it’s broken from the start / That it’s broken from the start / Did I think I gained more time / When you wake in the morning, did you say a single word / Did you read, did you talk, did you breathe / I did not say a word / Did you spend your days running through the void of your culture / Could you feel through the cold / Did you grow any number / feel I did / The days are running from you / There’s darkness coming over / Your blood runs even number / You feel it // Just let go, just let go // Did you hide from yourself, from your prayers and your passions / Push it down say it’s nothing, but inside feel that something could have been

Promise Me
03:11
|
|
||
This is something that is deeper than me / I tried to block it out, but it’s overwhelming me / Cause I never could be what I wanted to be / All of the things they said couldn’t get out my head / The only comfort to me was wishing that I were dead / Cause I couldn’t see a way out for me // Will you promise me you’ll never leave me /(Sometimes you feel you can’t go on, you’re struggling) / Even if things change you’ll never leave me / (Sometimes you feel you can’t go on, sickness leads you on) // Run down the shelter falling down over me / Feeding my vice was my security / Even though I knew it was no good for me / Standing in the rain now soaking through to my skin / Well you’ll never know cold ‘til the numbness kicks in / Hearing them saying this is all you will be / What you don’t understand is that you’re the only one I’ve ever trusted oh / Because I / I need you, said I) / I need, but I need you

When I Wait On You
02:42
|
|||
// When I wait on You I know I’ll be fine / When I reach for You I know I’ll see light // Terminal is my condition buried in the sand / Winds roll round my chest or uncovered by my hands / It’s far too heavy to take through the blue sky / I held the ropes so tight the weight’s become my life / Slip behind the waterfall, wait beneath its break / Time hollowed this safe place / Now I’m resting with a praying mouth / I fear my words I kept and traded out of place / I did not keep with time to listen, touch or taste

So Much Has Changed
03:30
|
|
||
So much has changed since you’ve been around / So much has changed since you broke me down / You would not recognise me / So much has changed since you’ve been here / The grounds you walked have all been cleared / I do not recognise this // We didn’t see in bloom of spring when love would burn in autumn’s turn / It used to hold the colours bold, and in their roots the secrets told / Their story / Those amateurs never to be // The season fades, the silent black out / Our words now lost in vacant resound / I do not recognise me
|
||||
11. |
|
|||
Perspective calls, embrace the cold / I waited on and on and on / I waited ‘til the dark was sold / I walked the shadows all day long / I keep striking the match to put out the flame / I’m filling the glass to pour down the drain / Then I lock the door, but ask you to leave // Oh Lord, oh my / I’m nothing that I thought I was, and I cannot be careful / I feel I will fall // Inflicted those, contorts the pay / The line runs on and on and on / A risk that could not have made the day / The saying’s crushed, define what’s strong

Words
03:33
|
|
||
I’ve been listening for hours on repeat to my heart being sung back to me / In every nuance I recognised the pain / My lover did that to me the same / In the most genuine of kiss / Even in the most genuine of kiss they can break their promises // Words can cut you strong, leave intent of an honest heart / Love can lead you on, never give what it said at the start // Perfect love turned out untrue, you left the message to soak through my body in the night / And even when the dusk defeats the day I fear, the night comes far too soon / And I wake up in the night with tears filling my eyes / If you find somebody new, and in time I do too / Know the past can never hide / i’ll be reaching for that time
