- 2. Unfamiliar
During the laceration
All you wanna do is cry
At last that realization
How quickly fresh blood dries
Needs little explanation
It’s gonna take a lot of time
Ideas above our station are below the fog in my mind
When I see, I see my signs
- Commemorative T-Shirt
You're trying to keep your composure
I'm only having a laugh
The latest attempt at closure
Failed after 25 drafts
But I can still retain this
I can still collect
You're cashing in on our misery
And calling in all the debts
- Getting Where Water Cannot
game match set and synchronise
then part it this hand set in turpentine
imitate and angled to
suffocate this indignance inherited
from mouth to mouth sore
kept clean and comfortable
consequence
- Long Forgotten
These are the secrets you will share
These are the words you cannot bare
This is the sight you’ll never see
And that you have forgotten me
The voice that tempted you away
The deepest hole in which I stay
I miss you most my darkest hour
I’m wondering where the hell you are
- New Pin Тоскливая
In goodness wake I’ll always say I do;
That it’s all for you
And the tricks I’d turn would always shine right through;
But it’s all for you
Like a stream overflowing, unpredictable,
Of a new confidence like a new king
Like a breeze levitating to raise a sunken soul
- One Day All This Could Be Yours
Just an act
An impossible divorce
That put the life into you
It’s too late to abort
I never gave you the time that you deserved
Never gave you even half of what you’re worth
My beautiful son
- Only Twin
Run, Tommy, run
Did you get all you want?
Did you drink their well dry?
And extinguish all their sunshine?
I didn’t say that I felt the same
You just took it as read
As I closed all the blinds and put you to bed
And read you all the last rites.
- Paper champion
hear this a name sell be the tolling of the iron bell
that will render me all the prize
it will cut these doubts right down to size
and without this thing without the drive
just to make you see how i am striving to make a fist
a voice if could just make you hear make this all right
and i'm still still calling
still still still calling
- Savant
The future age
cast asleep but the film remains
this aftertaste
all I want is that which I gave
master / slave
I burn fast on sinking ships
and I can talk
I place pride on tick and tock
- Sleeping Dogs and Dead Lions
The slime looks so good on your face
One for charm, one for disgrace
Cunt!
And in the back of the truck I'll find the antidote
All the passengers know it's time to jump the boat
Your children will remember every word you say
Never doubt that you’re leading them astray
- The Charm Offensive
Senses oh how could you fail us now;
I check your heart still makes a hissing sound
It’s just another name for sorcery
We still believe in what we never see
Our perception is but a camera trick
Authority a uniform
Another name for a second chance
You offer more, the sophomore
- The frame
I can hold you all together
You wont fall with the troops that we assembled
And the bond we've forged
Though this sketch is getting old now the cracks don't show
Time won't change a thing when I'm gone
Don't grip the wheel too tightly my son
Everything you need is done, I woulda thought we'd won by now
- The strand
Hey, did you kick 'em off your tooth?
Did you show 'em who's the boss?
Did you show them how?
Hey, did you lose another love?
Wondering what the hell you've done,
For fifty years.
- Trail of Fire
I ran a trail of fire through the meadow paths
Guided by the river banks, trees from which they'll have me hang
Keep running away from the fire
Keep running away from the light ‘til it’s gone
Are all our summers at one with the ground?
And everything I loved you for, A trail of fire from the door
That leads me to a hiding place
