Closer 04:06

You there, you there Take my smile away You there, you there This night’s much too young for me You there, you there Trying to say what I mean You there, you there I wish could see what you’re seeing Closer, closer The dust creeps The dust creeps Closer, closer The dust creeps The dust creeps Closer

Wake Up Underwater 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Wake up underwater in the air Your lips are hard to swallow To satisfy my hunger and to still look debonair A few short hours Nothing more Nothing more Wake up underwater Wake up underwater Fill your lungs with water from the grapevine ‘Cos I feel so low I feel Just like a sunset boulevard The midnight strip A sinking ship As for the creatures of the deep, I’ve had enough We’re losing touch… Nothing more Nothing more Wake up underwater Wake up underwater Fill your lungs with water from the grapevine ‘Cos I feel so low I feel So low It’s time to care about things ‘Cos everything is everything To die without death To fly without wings ‘Cos everything is everything is everything Wake up underwater Wake up underwater Fill your lungs with water from the grapevine ‘Cos I feel so low I feel I feel so low I feel so Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Clockwork 05:02
lyrics

It’s alright The rocking horse said to me Everything will turn out fine It’s clockwork symmetry God in motion sets the wheels and turns the cogs We won’t know how to stop But we wouldn’t want to anyway Life is a game we play And everything, everything must go Clockwork, clockwork, clockwork How do we know it works? Clockwork, clockwork, clockwork How do we know it works? We don’t Then a spark Some ornery pottery fell Wedged in the sluice It cut off all the juice God in motion sets the wheels and turns the cogs We won’t know how to stop But we wouldn’t want to anyway Life is a game we play And everything, everything must go Clockwork, clockwork, clockwork How do we know it works? Clockwork, clockwork, clockwork How do we know it works? We don’t Caught in the crash I felt the crash I felt the crash I felt the crash I felt the crash

Watercolour World 03:33
lyrics

I created everything The day that I learnt how to dream First, I taught myself to fly Then I got bored, so I stopped time Now I do everything I want But it’s a plastic kind of love Rocket ships and submarines Explore my ordinary dreams If beautiful people live colourful lines It’s by design, it’s by design If beautiful people live wonderful lives It’s my design, it’s my design Watercolour, watercolour world People float around like little birds And no one cries, ‘cos no one ever hurts In my watercolour, watercolour world Walking through the streets I made Hoping to get lost again I know every twist and turn But there’s nothing here to learn On and on and on it goes And no one knows, and no one knows The hollowness, this funny lie I want to die, I want to die If beautiful people live colourful lines It’s by design, it’s by design If beautiful people live wonderful lives It’s my design, it’s my design Watercolour, watercolour world People float around like little birds And no one cries, ‘cos no one ever hurts In my watercolour, watercolour world Watercolour, watercolour world People float around like little birds And no one cries, ‘cos no one ever hurts In my watercolour, watercolour world

Say Hello 05:06
lyrics

The sun is high And I don’t ever want to come down I’m feeling blown by the wind Above the clouds And I never ever want to come down Just feel the air on your wings And say hello Say hello Say hello To the last thing that you’ll ever know And for each feather to fall there’s a new star It’s better to fall as a new star It’s better to fall as a new star I’m going blind Because the sun is in my eyes I’m way too high If I could see your face Or the miles of our industrial waste I’d feel alive And say hello Say hello Say hello To the last thing that you’ll ever know And for each feather to fall there’s a new star It’s better to fall as a new star It’s better to fall as a new star I need you more than you’ll ever know But I need your blood I just can’t get enough I need you more than you’ll ever know But I need your blood I just can’t get enough So let yourself down, let yourself go The past is going fast, the future’s gotta grow So let yourself down, let yourself go The past is going fast, the future’s gotta grow So let yourself down And I’m on fire With the living and the dead, their hunger never really fed Don’t want to fall… I need your hand Just to touch another woman or man I don’t want to die Die Die

Into The Sun 05:22
lyrics

Unkind and winding stairs Of backwards phenotypes Liquify the air Through every hair receive the song The ripples rip the right from wrong And that’s the way it’s always been And always will be You know time will wait for you Time will wait for you Until the sun falls from the sky Until you’re mine I’m crashing into the sun And it burns me a message Lesson learned I’m made of fire and light And everything’s all Everything’s alright The universal face Reveals a ragged smile Staring into outer space I lie here for a while and make The heavens bend and atoms break They’re just sophisticated fakes Their meaning unclear You know time will wait for you Time will wait for you Until the sun falls from the sky Until you’re mine I’m crashing into the sun I’m crashing into the sun And it burns me a message Lesson learned I’m made of fire and light And everything’s all Everything’s alright Everything’s all Everything’s all Everything’s alright When I awake to the world It solidifies my soul I turn to the sky And pretend it’s not the back of my eyes And life doesn’t really care It never cared I’m crashing into the sun I’m crashing into the sun And it burns me a message Lesson learned I’m crashing into the sun And it burns me a message Lesson learned I’m made of fire and light And everything’s all Everything’s alright Alright Alright Alright

Calling Inside Out 04:48
lyrics
buy track
If God’s above And hell’s below Where am I? And why does it hurt so much When I can’t feel the touch? Sudden holes in city squares A lava flow so sudden that it caught us unaware Even the ones who care We, the royal we Receive the writing on the wall We fall Which comes as no surprise Another soul calls a little more Another soul yearns a little more, more, more Calling inside, calling inside, calling inside out Calling inside, calling inside, calling inside out Calling inside, calling inside, calling inside Calling inside out Calling inside out It’s like a landslide In a candle In my heart A celebration of everything absurd Haven’t you heard? Haven’t you heard? Now that you know, you’ll never know Now that you know, you’ll never know Now that you know, you’ll never never Now that you know, you’ll never know Now that you know, you’ll never know Now that you know, you’ll never know Now that you know, you’ll never know You’ll never know You’ll never know God Please hear me God, please hear me God I’m a liar, I’m a liar I’m the soldiers in the wire But don’t you know? Don’t you know? Can’t you see this in my heart?

Cosmophobia 04:32

See the dark-eyed girl Fire and brimstone in her hair Are you scared? Take her hand and dance It’s just her eyes I think they’re mine I think I’m scared So close your eyes Close your eyes The creeping limbs of dread Trapped inside my head The temperature is rising And the sky is turning red Cosmophobia Cosmophobia Cosmophobia I wish I could stay here forever Whispers so uncouth Overflowing from her mouth I think we’ve gone too far Calling from inside Not an angel any more Just a… So close your eyes Close your eyes The creeping limbs of dread Trapped inside my head The temperature is rising And the sky is turning red Cosmophobia Cosmophobia Cosmophobia I wish I could stay here forever Forever You are everything, everything to me You are everything, everything to me My dark-eyed girl My feminine soul Your lips spark and I just make out the words: ‘It’s your lucky day’ But how can I think or do anything When the sun’s so bright that it blows my mind? And there’s a sperm whale and giant squid Floating through the clouds There’s nothing left for me But bird-shaped shooting stars Alone on mars

Smile 05:10
lyrics

There’s an occupation in my mind A half-remembered dream of a smile All mine Building up inside me for a while I know that you know how much it means To me Did you hide away? I knew you’d fall again, again some day You made me change You made me change You made me change Falling myself Fall and let’s be over No more runaway Falling myself Fall and let’s be over No more runaway You never explain yourself to anyone who cares And you never express yourself, even if you dare And when you try to explain yourself Yeah you can’t find the words And when you try to escape yourself Yeah you can’t find the words
