Get High, Stay High
04:20
|
|||
There's a place way down from here,
With rocks and ice and more to fear,
Many people go and not a single one has come back.
I won't let you go alone,
Down into the danger zone,
Got sandwiches and a death wish in my backpack.
I don’t know where we’re going if we’re going down there,
You say there’s no way of knowing but I just don’t care.
Too much danger down below,
Fire and brimstone, sticks and stones,
Don’t need no maps, it’s just vibes.
I know a place to go,
To set a brand new status quo,
The only way to get by,
Get high, stay high.
Twisted knees and broken bones,
999 on answerphone,
We should have never come and now we'll never be free.
Cables drifting, lifting higher,
Out of the persisting fire.
Can somebody rescue me?
Do you remember the time when we went off-track?
It's not too late to rewind, not too late to turn back.
Too much danger down below,
Fire and brimstone, sticks and stones,
Don’t need no maps, it’s just vibes.
I know a place to go,
With greener grass and fresher snow,
The only way to survive,
Get high, stay high.
No maps, just vibes.
Got to survive.
Get high, stay high.
Too much danger down below,
Fire and brimstone, sticks and stones,
Don’t need no maps, it’s just vibes.
I know a place to go,
To set a brand new status quo,
The only way to get by,
Get high, stay high.
Too much danger down below,
Fire and brimstone, sticks and stones,
Don’t need no maps, it’s just vibes. (Get high, stay high)
I know a place to go,
With greener grass and fresher snow,
The only way to survive,
Get high, stay high.

Ivy
04:47
|

Cracks in the rafters
So much for ever afters
Cracks in the rafters of our home
Weeds in the rafters
So much for ever afters
Ivy’s overgrown left me alone
I guess I'm not the man you thought I was
But I'll show what I can do
Next time around
I haven't been the person that I wanted to be
And so I'll try again
When I go back around
Well it’s times like these I sit and stop and ask myself
If I fell in the street
Would you help me up, or would you walk on by?
And in the mirror I only see my former self
A boy who’s pure of heart
A brand new start
Spring in his step
A sparkle in his eye
And the ivy creeps through the cracks in the bricks in the house that I once called home
And for once in my life I'm glad I'm moving on
Cracks in the rafters
So much for ever afters
Cracks in the rafters of our home
Weeds in the rafters
So much for ever afters
Ivy’s overgrown left me alone
In a cemetery there lies a lonely grave plot
No room for flowers here
As the overgrowth outreaches to the sky
As I trace the steps before our favourite meeting spot
I start to realise
That under this disguise
The soul forgotten here is I
And the ivy creeps through the cracks in the bricks in the house that I once called home
And for once in my life I'm glad I'm moving on
As they tied me down
Wrapped the ivy around
Gagged and bound so much for ever afters
She’s overgrown, left me alone
Cracks in the rafters
So much for ever afters
Cracks in the rafters of our home
Weeds in the rafters
So much for ever afters
Ivy’s overgrown left me alone

Runaway Train
07:11
|
|||
Growing up fast in these dead-end streets
I had the wind in my hair, same old shoes on my feet
This town had nothing left for me
I’d been running in circles, at the end of the line
Running out of dreams and running out of time
I had to make my final decree
I don’t wanna just settle down and survive
If we’re all gonna die (by the end of the night)
then why
Do I feel so alive?
I've got my eyes fixed on the horizon
Rails stretch below us out to the sea
There's fires burning in our wake
But only track in front of me
I’ve nothing left to do or say
I’ve made up my mind, and now
there’s only one way
I’m a runaway train
This cat’s out the bag, and he’s back on the road
He’s forgotten more than he'll ever know
Got debts that he can’t repay
Grabbing life with both hands and putting it on red
Chasing that thrill until he winds up dead
There's no need for delay
I don’t wanna just settle down and survive
If we’re gonna die then
How come I feel so alive?
How come I feel so alive?
I've got my eyes fixed on the horizon
Rails stretch below us out to the sea
There's fires burning in our wake
But only track in front of me
My course is set
My route is clear
There’s nothing left for me
Nothing left to fear
I’m a runaway train
I've got my eyes fixed on the horizon
Rails stretch below us out to the sea
There's fires burning in our wake
But only track in front of me
I’ve nothing left to do or say
I’ve made up my mind, and now
there’s only one way
I’m a runaway train
But now I’m growing old on a foreign shore
Nothing left to do anymore
but wait
For that whistle to blow again
A boy can wish and a boy can dream
And shores aren’t as golden as they seemed to be
To me
Now the departure board is empty
But I’m still waiting
Waiting for something to arrive

Oblivion's Light
04:00
|
|||
You crack and writhe
Mandibles swallow me
And I’ll be
Struggle to hold
Fractured and cold
Heavy the burden they bring me
Tighten the rope
Hands at my throat
Cover my eyes that you’ll never see
Tear me down
Feel me crumble over starlit shores
And I’ll never go, never go, never leave them to the dirt
Break me out
Pull me closer through the midnight cold
But you’ll never know, never know, never know how hard I’d fall
As I’m turning away from…
…it all turns to air
Grasping hands everywhere
Spark into flame
Taking aim
Calls my name
Brittle my heart
Flesh torn apart
Crimson my fingernails bleeding
Choking my brain
Frozen my veins
Still is unbroken my soul unyielding
Tear me down
Feel me crumble over starlit shores
And I’ll never tell, never tell, never betray those I love
Break me out
Pull me closer through the midnight cold
But you’ll never know, never know, never know how hard I’d fall
As Oblivion’s light takes us all
Tear me down, feel me crumble
And you’ll never know, never know, never know, never know
Break me out
Pull me closer through the midnight cold
But you’ll never know, never know, never know how far I’d go
When the winds are burning
Flow as the waves are turning
Slow til the light consumes us all

Thinking Of You
04:10
|
|||
This time last week I was driving home on country roads, on my way back from my regular life-drawing classes, the ones I take every other Tuesday
And thinking of you!
And as the windscreen wipers ricocheted back and forth across my filthy viewport to a world of open roads and slightly less open windows of opportunity
I’m still thinking of you!
I’d tell you how I love you, but I know I’d tell it wrong
So I’ll still borrowed words and cliched verse into your song.
About half way home I pulled into a petrol station to fill up the tank, the one which sells pine-scented air fresheners for about 50% off, you know the one
I’m thinking of you!
And I was listening to the radio, and they had a segment where they asked, nay encouraged, the audience to ring up, and they would play whichever song you were thinking of
But I was thinking of you!
I’d tell you how I love you, but I know I’d tell it wrong
So I’ll still borrowed words and cliched verse into your song.
All these those words are for the most cliche song that I wrote for you while on the road
I may not say the right words at the in right time but I'll make sure I sing my heart true
Got home to my lonely one bedroom apartment, turned on the lights, and went through the corridor and up the stairs, and then straight to the kitchen to start dinner.
I’m making a stew!
And after I ate, I turned on the television, tuned in to watch the re-run of last week’s episode of the latest season of Masterchef
On BBC2!
I’d tell you how I love you, but I know I’d tell it wrong
So I’ll still borrowed words and cliched verse into your song.
All these those words are for the most cliche song that I wrote for you while on the road
I may not say the right words at the in right time but I'll make sure I sing my heart true

Midatlantic Blues
05:36
|
|||
Don’t waste your time
Trying to change your life
‘Cause no matter what you choose
We’re all just heading for
Those midatlantic blues
I know you had your plans
Don’t you know I had plans too
But we’re not in control
Of this rollercoaster cruise
We’re endlessly at sea
With nothing good to do
And nothing else for miles around
Only midatlantic blues
It's peaceful up on deck
Watching unobstructed views
Taking in the ocean air
Wearing someone else's shoes
But for just one moonlit moment
I could swear that something moved
In the distance, in the depths
Of those midatlantic blues
A sudden lurching feeling
An announcement from the crew
They say we’re going down
And it’s gonna happen soon
The ship’s already sinking
And panic’s spreading through
But the band still keep on playing
The midatlantic blues
Tomorrow we’ll be gone
And soon forgotten too
But perhaps for fifteen minutes
They’ll see us on the news
On a billion brilliant screens
In such vivid lifelike hues
Orange flames, scarlet blood,
And those midatlantic blues

Mindful Morning
04:51
|
|||
Wake up, it’s another day and I believe in you
You’ve got my full support and I hope that you’ve got yours too
Can you find a thing or two to ease you into the day
You deserve a restful start to what may
Be a self-loving day
Feel today
Find what works today
Take a breath today
Be yourself today
Play today
Spread some love today
Take your time today
Love yourself today
Do not waste the morning on thoughts of feeling blue
I'll let the morning paint your mind in a gentle pastel hue
Fill up your lungs, take it slow
Small steps into the sun
That first rung on the ladder
Mmm, the walk before the run
Feel today
Find what works today
Take a breath today
Be yourself today
Play today
Spread some love today
Take your time today
Love yourself today
What will you do today?
Are you excited?
Or are you tired?
That’s ok too
The world is yours today
Live in it kindly
We’ll take in the sunrise
Come stand beside me
Feel today
Find what works today
Take a breath today
Be yourself today
Play today
Spread some love today
Take your time today
Love yourself today
When the day has ended I’ll show you how you grew
We’ll weave these memories into song and then start the world anew
Give me space to wonder and courage to explore
How is it I feel younger than I did the day before
Feel today
Find what works today
Take a breath today
Be yourself today
Play today
Spread some love today
Take your time today
Love yourself today

I Want A Hug, It's True
02:29
|
|||
I've never been a touchy-feely -
Sang to crowd out my emotions.
But sometimes I forget I'm human
And something in me wants connection.
I want a hug, it's true
No, I don't love you (not that way)
Don't need a hand to hold (nah-uh)
Just a hug to say
You're a friend today
And that life is not so cold.
I find it hard to show true colours -
Prefer to blend in with the view.
But sometimes I forget we're human
And a patchwork's what we do.
I want a hug, it's true
No, I don't love you (not that way)
Don't need a hand to hold (nah-uh)
Just a hug to say
You're a friend today
And that life is not so cold.
Sometimes it's a lonely world and
People come and people go.
Let's agree to stick around
Find a friend in friends we've found.

See You Tomorrow
02:56
|

You've been away so long we've missed you
It's been so quiet without you here
It's only been a week but we can't wait to have you back with us
And now you're on your way (she's on her way)
You're coming home (she's coming home)
I can't wait to see you (she's coming home)
We've really missed ya (she's coming home)
See you tomorrow
You've sent me pictures from your trip
It's looks amazing, and I'm jealous
But finally it's time for you to come see me and Ivy
I know you're on your way (she's on her way)
You're coming home (she's coming home)
I can't wait to see you (she's coming home)
We've really missed ya (she's coming home)
See you tomorrow
He'll see you tomorrow
She's on her way, she's on her way, she's on her way
She's coming home, she's coming home she's coming home
And I miss you
Now you're coming home
You're coming home (coming home)
I can't wait to see you (coming home)
We've really missed you (coming home)
It's just me and Ivy (coming home)
We've missed you and Holly (coming home)
I can't wait to see you (coming home)
See you tomorrow

The Bridge
01:15
|
|||
Takin' this road
With nowhere in mind
Wondering if
It's a bridge I will find
It's been a lonesome road
River crossings abound
But never it was
A bridge that I found
A verse, a chorus
A coda perchance
But never a bridge
To break my dance
And then I met you
Waltzin’ through the day and night
And never a bridge in sight
Together with you

Throne / Thrown
04:56
|

Hunt the shadows
Rob the pharaohs
Kill the scarecrows
No, we won’t outgrow
Would be nice though
It’s a freakshow
Oh, I just want something to be said
Not just in my head
Oh, the comfort never ends
But silence never mends.
We’re not sorry
Spook the sirens
Lynch the Titans
Don’t be frightened.
It’s a new craze
Ditch the past ways
For our last days.
Oh we just want time to walk alone
Through the war zone.
Oh, you will never take our throne
This blood will come home.
Music for the free
Freedom for the weak
Weakness for the fight
Fire for crime
We’re not sorry

Between Us
03:27
|
|||
Do you think they noticed us arrive together?
Our friends keep throwing glances our way,
It seems like they’ve got something to say.
If they ask what's going on, what might we tell them?
Oh, that doesn’t matter right now
No, that doesn’t matter right now
I know we hadn’t planned that this would be a big deal
But I think that it’s quite obvious the way that we both feel
And I don’t know what happened but you’re touching my hand
And I wanna get as close to you as I can
Tonight yeah baby let’s just be us
Tomorrow maybe they’ll make a fuss
But tonight for now let’s just be us
And I don’t care about who sees us
Is this night inviting us to make it better?
The music’s got you moving with me
It seems like we’ve got somewhere to be
Do you think they’ll notice if we leave together?
Oh, that doesn’t matter right now
No, that doesn’t matter right now
I know they'll have a lot to say as soon as we're gone
But I'm not sure we're even gonna stay for the next song
'Cause now you're leaning in and you just whispered my name
And I'm taking your arm and we're on our way
Tonight yeah baby let’s just be us
Tomorrow maybe they’ll make a fuss
But tonight for now let’s just be us
And I don’t care about who sees us
I know there's not a plan for where this evening could end
And I’m pretty sure my parents still just think that your my friend
But I don’t really care if they don’t quite understand
I just wanna take you home as soon as I can
Tonight yeah baby let’s just be us
Tomorrow maybe they’ll make a fuss
But tonight for now let’s just be us
And I don’t care about who sees
Tonight yeah baby let’s just be us
Tomorrow maybe they’ll make a fuss
But tonight for now let’s just be us
And I don’t care about who sees us

A Last-Minute Song
03:20
|
|||
Can I write a last-minute song?
A moment and then we're gone.
Nothing left to say, only games to play.
A fool would I be to engage.
Can I form a last-minute plea?
Pictures that we couldn't see.
Nothing left to live, only time to give.
A fool would last longer than me.
A word, a song, what a thing to say.
No signs, no deeds, just a breath to take.
A moment's fortune bringing you back to me.
A laugh, a frown, what a strange surround.
No fists, no fights, just a sighing sound.
A moment's sunshine bringing you back to me.
Can I find a last-minute plan?
Take you on hand-in-hand
Nothing left to think, only pride to sink.
A fool would get out while they can.
A word, a song, what a thing to say.
No signs, no deeds, just a breath to take.
A moment's fortune bringing you back to me.
A laugh, a frown, what a strange surround.
No fists, no fights, just a sighing sound.
A moment's sunshine bringing you back to me.
Say you'll get this soon,
Forget the fiery doom,
Find it or we're screwed...
...What a mood.
A word, a song, what a thing to say.
No signs, no deeds, just a breath to take.
A moment's fortune bringing you back to me.
A laugh, a frown, what a strange surround.
No fists, no fights, just a dying sound.
A moment's sunshine bringing you back to me.
Can I write a last-minute song -
One where my thoughts don't last long?
Nothing left to choose, only sense to lose.
A fool would have run... (wait, that's me)
