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

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

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

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
7.
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

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
