Made Of Sadness
03:10

I'm walking home, slow as you like
Body borne like a drunken friend
There's nothing beneath me bearing the weight
I'm cutting my feet
I feel like I'm made of sadness
Acrylic smile, painted distraction
If I make you crazy I resonate in sympathy
Hands change faces, cos there's no-one to hide
I'm not worth a single one of the tears you've cried
I feel like I'm made of sadness
I'm made of sadness
Now you're made of sadness too

The What If Elephant
03:33
|
|

September seems cooler this year
The leaves are all drawn up closer
Here I am at this party of ghosts
My eyes see through the youth of a boy
And what it the what if, what if, what if elephant says hi
Soon all unsaid will be too vast
And all that is left will be whispered
Minutes will age enough to be real life
This brief but broken moment of dreams
And what it the what if, what if, what if elephant says hi

Tears Of Summer
03:53
|
|
||
Hearts- so hungry that they just can't eat
Minds- so weary that they won't take sleep
Lungs- just push 'em so I'll start to breath
Eyes- Won't you open so that I might see
Oh how we'll play when the tears of summer evaporate
Oh for the day when the fears of summer have burned away
Oh- I never thought I'd lose control
Broke- but clutching visions of the whole
Dreams- you offer with your unfurled hand
Love- but only shared between the damned
We're boxers without mouthguards
We're bandits with an empty gun
I would happily drop a few rounds
For just one day in the winter sun
Oh, how we'll play in the tears of summer

Shrinking
04:00
|
|
||
She appears six times a day from break of dawn through clouds of grey
On wooden curtain steps she stands alone on a stage of clay
She's no good for me, my wheels are turned away from the world
Your hands shrink to their size as a child
I don't need a slipnoose to know how you feel
No one else can breathe or see
But no one else is shrinking
She's no good for me, my wheels are turned away from the world

I'm not different, you're all the same
A social network with a taste for fame
I've spent my life trying to hide from
The burden of being able to fly
I'll never tell you, you won't understand
How it feels to hold life in your hands
I often fail but I always try
That's the burden of being able to fly
What's a name what's a name?
The day it's out my life is changed
I'll hide in the hands of my friends
They'll never manage but I hope they'll try
Share the burden of being able to fly
Now we're able to fly

The Too Long Song
02:45
|
|

Atoning imagined sins
I walk these streets again
Filling hats with unspent change
Giving shelter from the rain
But you know this just won't do
The curse of kindness brings thoughts of you
So I pay out more, clutch this rain with claws
Carving Ave Marias' up and down these arms
That held you for a moment,
that held you for a moment too long
And now I'm waiting for that train
Damn freighter knows my pain
And it just won't come along
To take me where I belong
But you know it just won't do
It'll bring me back, but not to you
So I'll wait some more, weave this crown of thorns
Carving 'Ave Marias' up and down these arms
That held you for a moment
That held you for a moment
Too long
Too long
Too long
Too long
Since I've seen you

Distance
04:06
|
|
||
You only need to say the word
And I'll keep my distance
Please ignore the things you hear
And I'll keep my distance
How can anyone, anyone live here?
La la la, la la la
I'll keep my distance
The time has passed where I can say
That I'll keep my distance
How can anyone, anyone live here?
Then you've got to wait
Wait without hope

Death In Korea
03:36
|
|
||
Cover eyes with final views
Kiss a prayer to these lips
Tune my ears to this last lovely song
Melt this flesh and bone
By light of candle flame
Burn this pyre of flaws now undone
Let me drift away
Let me drift away
Let me drift away
This is death in Korea
Follow silent cloaked in truth
Tie a rock to the child
Lessons taught but never learned
Let me drift away
Let me drift away
Let me drift away
This is death in Korea

If you kiss me once the kill me with a bite
I would die a happy man on a cool September night
Throw my body in the dirt so I can spread the joy
And carve into my stone 'It was hope that killed the boy'
I'll dream, yes I'll dream
I've dreamed my life away
I'll remain, or so it seems
At the start of each new day
Without you
Find me in the hole, we can barricade the door
With former parts of trees we find on the forest floor
I'll paint the inside your desired electric blue
It's sort of become clear, it's the only thing to do
I'll dream, yes I'll dream
I've dreamed my life away
I'll remain, or so it seems
At the start of each new day
Without you

4am, the thinking hour
Never a comforting thought you can hold
Pull the tree
Unfurl the roots
This is what it sounds like in the hole
4am, the thinking hour
Never a comfort, a warmth you can hold
Pull the tree
Unfurl the roots
This is what it sounds like in the hole
