Darkness Calling
04:24
|

Let the night fall
Let the night call
Let the night call
Darkness falls as we runaway
I hold your hand for the cutaway, I
Darkness falls as we runaway
All I really wanted was somewhere to be needed
And now I'm the one right there with you
All I really needed was somewhere to be wanted
And now I'm find I'm right there with you
What if we're all walking in the middle of the sun?
(The heat, the fire, the flames start talking - close your eyes, this dead man's walking)
What if all our dreaming's already begun?
(The peace, the calm, the void's enthralling - told you it's just darkness calling)
Let the night fall
Let the night call
Let the night call
Darkness falls as we runaway
I hold your hand for the cutaway, I
Darkness falls as we runaway
The heat, the fire, the flames start talking - close your eyes, this dead man's walking
The peace, the calm, the void's enthralling - told you it's just darkness calling

Wear Me Out
03:41
|
|||
Do you remember where you were the day we met, or ponder what would happen if we hadn’t?
I remember I was waiting for the bus in the rain.
You were traveling and hadn’t even noticed me, a habit that would soon become a pattern
Though I didn’t know it then my life was irrevocably changed
Hey hey don’t take my place again
There’s gotta be another way
To take the road in which we both get what we need
Hey Hey don’t take my place again
You always find another way to hurt me
Way to wear me out
And as the months go by inside I start to realize, the life I had before you came is over
I could leave you but I’m certain that it isn’t my time
Despite it all, the destination’s not the journey, and the place we want to reach is inching closer
Like it or not we’ll be together till the end of the line
Hey hey don’t take my place again
There’s gotta be another way
To take the road in which we both get what we need
Hey Hey don’t take my place again
You always find another way to hurt me
Way to wear me out

There's a little seed that’s planted, in the soil underground
I'm watching and I'm waiting, for it to come around
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow,
I know it needs some time, to sprout and to take root
But I'm excited for the day, it breaks through and starts to shoot
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow
Grow grow grow grow grow,
Grow grow grow grow grow,
We’ll be waiting for you,
Grow grow grow grow grow,
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow
There's a sapling I'm protecting, from the wind and from the rain
I'm tending to its every need, so it won't feel any pain
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow,
I know it needs some time, to grow tall and reach the sky
But I'm excited for the day, it will spread its branches high
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow
Grow grow grow grow grow,
Grow grow grow grow grow,
We’ll be waiting for you,
Grow grow grow grow grow,
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow
There's a bud I'm observing, as it prepares to bloom
I'm patiently waiting, for its colour to light the room
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow,
I know it needs some time, to open up and show its face
But I'm excited for the day, that it’s colour fills the place
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow
Grow grow grow grow grow,
Grow grow grow grow grow,
We’ll be waiting for you,
Grow grow grow grow grow,
You can do it you can do it you can do it you can do it you can,
grow grow grow grow grow

no u better
03:44
|

There's something subtle in the way you move
You always know just how to keep me guessing
You make me feel I've got no place to hide
Most of all when you're the one undressing
You wield your body with a point to prove
And I'm the subject of your inquisition
Which with precision picks apart my pride
'Till I don't even know what I'm confessing
Two, three
One, two, three, four
Two, three
Want to follow
You
Follow
You were the one to want to push ahead and
When I said I would you said "I know, you better"
"No, you better"
Read every page of you between the covers
In secret seconds we have both been stealing
But even now you're giving me that look
That let's me know you're going to be revealing
Another side of you to be discovered
And even though I know it saw it coming
It's no less stunning than a upper hook
That picks me up before it sends me reeling
Left, right
Left right after
You
Even after everything we've done and said I'm
Tempted nonetheless to get to know you better

¡Jorge!
04:13
|
|||
By candlelight, the end of an evening
A humble tradesman sweeping his floor
Hears a ruckus outside his chambers
Moments later burst through the door...
A squadron of the guard of the palace
Armoured, armed, and seven feet tall
"The king himself demands the attendance
Of the glassmaker that people call..."
Jorge! The king is in a temper
Jorge! Trembles before the throne
"Jorge! My advisors have informed me that
Jorge makes the finest glassware known"
The lavishly appointed palace
Let's the king display his grandeur
One noble guest was most impressed
Admiring his prized mirror
"Oh, this is quite a striking article
The ornate frame, the azure trim,
And the glass itself, well, almost matches
One owned by the marquess of Turin"
"Jorge! I cannot tolerate this"
"Jorge! Your skill must be put to the test"
"Jorge! Make me a greater mirror"
"Jorge! That no-one else can best"
Terrified of displeasing his ruler
The glassmaker works every hour the day brings
For month after month duly crafting a mirror
Fit to be brought forth before the king
The mirror is a breathtaking masterpiece
The king is stunned but then lets out a moan
"Why does my visage appear not so handsome
As the portraits by all my court painters have shown?"
"Jorge! Your mirror doth insult me"
"Jorge! Remove it from my sight"
"Jorge! Make another yet more faithful"
"Jorge! Or pay forfeit with your life"
The craftsman redoubles his efforts. Working feverishly, he blows glass, pours metal, and polishes the vitreous plane. Pushing his art further than anyone has ever done, than anyone could comprehend; to create the most profoundly, dangerously, perfect mirror.
He presents it to the court and watches nervously as the king reacts: at first in surprise and then in horror, as he sees in his face his heart, his soul, his cruel and jealous nature, even the future downfall of his kingdom through his avarice and pride. He staggers backwards, but is unable to tear his eyes from the image of their own terrified stare.
The court gasps as the king draws his sword and lunges towards the mirror. Does he mean to destroy it, or is he driven with some madness to strike at his own reflection? We can never know because at that very moment...
Jorge! Leaps before the mirror
Jorge! Quails from the blade as it sweeps near
Jorge! The king recoils his sword in panic, shrieking
"Jorge!" And rends himself from ear to ear
Jorge! When you gaze into your mirror
Jorge! Tell us what do you see within?
Jorge! A humble tradesman who delivered or
Jorge! The cold-blooded killer of a king

Hummingbird Sunset
00:45
|

Where did you go to, my hummingbird song?
Dancing the daylight so sweetly
We’d sit by the river in summers long gone
There were you never to leave me
I long for the touch of your gentle caress
Now that the daylight is through
I’ll watch as the sunset it fades in the sky
Softly I’ll dream of you

You’ve seen the signs!
You’ve heard the warnings
You feel your inhibitions taking flight
Well we’re the chosen ones, still standing when the end is come
Inviting you to dine with us tonight
And so it ends where we begin
Behold: with open arms he invites us in
Praise the space that hides behind his hallowed face
And sing the songs of sweet salvation to the brightest star of all
The world will end in fire, or ice
Well, no matter, if we have the keys to paradise
Yes, of course, it’s very sad
If only something could be done - but
It isn’t a democracy, they can’t just admit anyone
So through the carnage, please, be not afraid
For by his grace we lucky few are saved
And all he asks for is your love
Your mind
Your heart
Your soul
Well, for so cheap a price
Who could ask for more?
Now praise (oh come and hear our praise)
The space (the hungry hollow space)
That hides behind his hallowed face
And sing the songs of sweet salvation to the brightest star of all
Surrender each your fragile heart
and lay your lies to sleep tonight
They’ll never reach our bonds to part
We’ll sing the lines and never die
And oh, the soil will swallow us
And though it might be painful but
I know we’re gonna miss you when you’re gone (gone, gone)
I know I’m gonna miss you when you’re
Gone are the days when we’d struggle and we’d fall
Not one come to stand with the greatest of them all
Come and dismember the silence
Time to remember the violent ways in which the earth did haunt us
Ah, ah…

In Memory Of

When the skies are clearing
In the afternoon
I only want to breathe in
The open air with you
Don't need to know where we're heading to
Can't be lost if I'm next to you
And there's nothing better
Than when we run together
Let's run together just like we're
Good to go forever 'cause no one
Could feel more alive than you and I
When we run together
If there are hills before us
Then we don't care how high
'Cause we'll just keep on running
Until we reach the sky
Today we're running like mercury
We've got wings carrying our feet
And there's nothing coming
That could stop us running
Let's run together just like we're
Good to go forever 'cause no one
Could feel more alive than you and I
When we run together
We're gonna run, we're gonna
We're gonna run all summer
Let's run together
Like we're good to go forever
No one could feel more alive than you and I...

The Thrill
02:25
|
|||
Heart racing, hands shaking, hard to control the thrill
I know the stakes are high, but I just can’t sit still
The thrill of the unknown, the danger of the game
The excitement of the moment, driving me insane
I know it's not the right thing, but what can I say
The pull of temptation, it’s leading me astray
I’m breaking all the rules, a feeling that I chase
I know I shouldn't do it, but I can't help the taste
The thrill of the unknown, the danger of the game
The excitement of the moment, driving me insane
I know it's not the right thing, but what can I say
The pull of temptation, it’s leading me astray
Life's too short to play it safe, oh baby
Sometimes you gotta misbehave
Live in the moment, take a chance, now baby
Don’t be afraid to cause a wave

The Years That Have Been
04:17
|

Count to one, it's our song
Darling you know me
We move as one.
Summertime, left behind
But sends us its joy still
And its voice will be our sign.
Fairy tale or sorcery?
I feel it coming back to me
Our stories from the inbetween.
Was it real or memory?
I cannot tell from what I've seen
We laugh for the years that have been.
It was us all along
We carry each other
And fumble on.
Through the years
Through our fears
Holding the light up, til the darkness disappears.
Fairy tale or wizardry?
All we need is company
And stories from the inbetween.
Was it real or memory?
I cannot tell from what I've seen
We laugh for the years that have been.

It Has To Be Now
03:22
|

Alone with my own thoughts
I’m filling up the sink.
An hour of gentle manual work
And all the time to think!
The gentle silence fills my ears
And I begin to sweat
An hour of silence, by myself,
I’m seeing as a threat!
Next thing I know, I’m putting down the plate and then
I’m getting out my phone,
I need to fill the silence
Cause I can’t be all alone!
I feel my heart rate slowing down
as the YouTube video plays.
But slightly sad, as my rainbow thoughts
Are muted into grays!
It has to be now, now, now, now now now!
It’s the silence that I dread
Causing violence in my head!
It has to be now, now, now, now now now,
But would it be so bad if I just stayed…?
Instant gratification’s the name of the game.
A thousand brilliant ideas are always in my head…
But it always ends the same.
I sit down with a paintbrush and my eyes glaze over dead!
I see clearly as day
the art I want to create,
but all this work is in the way…
I know I have the time
To write a thousand lines,
But then I see Steam down in the tray…
I could be great!
But I ain’t,
I just want to sit and play,
as my hours roll away,
and I just can’t escape!
I have all I need right here
To keep me in the clear
But if it takes a year
Then it’s not fast enough…
It has to be now, now, now, now now now!
My hard drive is the grave
Of a thousand started greats
It has to be now, now, now, now now now,
But what could I create if I just stayed…?
It has to be now, now, now, now now now!
I’m filling every space
with the dopamine I chase
It has to be now, now, now, now now now,
But I just wish that I could wait…

Bye Bye, University
03:53
|

I just got in from my mathematics retake
Doing it again because I failed it the first time.
I worked so flipping hard, every night, every day
But I guess in the end it didn't matter anyway.
I just failed my maths exam today (but it's okay)
Didn't want to go to uni anyway
Bye bye, university.
For my preparation I did every paper
The questions in the textbook - not a problem.
I know what to do so what went so wrong?
Every single question just took way too long.
I thought that the papers were meant to be consistent
But nothing prepared me for that.
A nasty long proof that nobody knew
Hated mechanics and calculus too.
I just failed my maths exam today (but it's okay)
Didn't want to go to uni anyway
Bye bye, university.
All my hopes and dreams were resting on this paper
I feel my future slipping away
Take a deep breath, I know that I’m smart
But I stare at the blank page and don't know where to start...
I just failed
I just failed
(Failed my maths exam today)
I just failed my maths exam today (but it's okay)
Didn't want to go to uni anyway
Bye bye, university
Guess I didn't need that physics degree
Guess I’ll just save the money.
For now I'll just sit and watch some TV
Take a long holiday, get some vitamin D...
