Holding the Sun
04:18
|

|
Empty handed, alone
Welcome nobody home
Never sounded so alive
Stranded hope starts to die
Blurring eyes, fraying ties
Preen yourself for nothing just to
Wake to sleep again
This is breaking me down
And wringing me out
Some days I just don’t know myself
It’s been burning too long
Like holding the sun
Lock your cell from inside
The rage your silence belies
Blurring eyes, fraying ties
Preen yourself for nothing just to
Wake to sleep again
(Chorus)
[Some days I fight to lose myself]
Until red smoke infuses the sky
I'm always here just counting
Time to leave?
Choose your angle
Tie the leash
And drop the anchor down
The brightness
Is fading
The haunting
Goes on
And on
(Chorus)
[Some days I just can’t face myself]

Eternal Black
03:36
|
|||
|
Monochromatic empty seasons
Buffered by the static as the visions start to fade
I wish that I had treasured all the sand
before the tide stripped it away
Don’t let it fade, Lock it away
Carved in your blood
All you’ve said, all you want, all you’ve done
It’s burning away, put out the flames
I thought I could
But I’m gone, I am gone, I am gone
Asymptomatic, without reason
Coalescing thoughts that paralyse then dissipate
I thought that I could bury all this deep enough
to keep it in the grave
(Chorus)
Brighter midnights (leave me)
Mollified, sanitised, stultified, colour blind
As the flames keep burning
(Chorus)

Touch and Go
04:20
|
|||
|
What if all your walls are really built on sand?
And the tide came crashing in before you started?
Took a breath and threw the stone and here we stand
But what if this stone never left my hand?
Would all these waves
Just be gone?
Lucid memories
Bricks and bone
Are touch and go
Blank horizons
Empty homes
Were touch and go
This could all go up in flames with just one spark
The chance encounters that we take for granted
Make the call and guess the side the coin will land
But what if that coin never left your hand
Or if I guessed wrong?
Am I wrong?
(Chorus)
All the red lines that you set
All the choices that you made could have been wrong
All the memories in your head
All the secrets that you hide could all be gone
Picture perfect, burnt to dust around you
Never again
What if you had gone before I had you?
Never again

S.O.S.
03:39
|

Open up my eyes
To watch another blaze begin
Battling to keep the flames within
I should try to rise
And I should fill my head with lies
Well I know that you're right
But I’ve given up the fight
I am falling
With my feet firmly on the ground
It’s too late to dam the river now
So I’m sinking
And I can’t bail the water out
All I can do is learn to drown
The sunlight bathes my skin
The shadows always win the round
Bedding in and anchored down and
I try to chase the light
But I can’t keep up this fight alone
I’ve just got nothing left
Please hear my SOS
(Chorus)
I am falling down
Cut the ribbon
Then tear this whole place down
I’m walled in
I just can’t find a way out
(Chorus)

Weighing down the Sea
03:30
|
|||
|
Tough day, you say
You’re three feet under, while you’re dancing
With grace, you brace
To bite the hand that’s only asking
Try pulling off the plaster
Stand up, you’re wearing out your knees
You’re like a chainless anchor
Weighing down the sea
Job done, home run
You’re robbing Peter just to pay yourself
Dreams sold and fool’s gold
Is all that’s left for me
(Chorus)
Shut the day out
Go bet my bottom dollar
And place it on yourself
(Chorus)

Show you the Way
03:25
|
|||
|
Growing tired of doing this all by yourself
But hiding what’s inside
Open up the world and pull down the cell
Step outside into the rain
Just so you feel alive
I want to show you the way
And wait till you call my name
The end of the road is the same
Blow all of this away
Bite your tongue, it could be worse
There's nothing left to hide
Close your eyes and slowly strip all this away
It’s just a taste of what’s to come
It's time to open your eyes
(Chorus)
Pull the blinds down and then
Clear your mind out
And just wait
While I take
Some time for it to just grow
(Chorus)

meet the family.
