Slowly Surfacing
06:37
|

Here suspended
Here time has ended
Like cars and foreign places
I try to lose myself here
A break in the traffic
Reminds you to breath
A break in the net
And you swim free
I'm slowly
I'm slowly surfacing
I'm slowly surfacing
I'm coming up for air
A crack in the sunset
Your butterfly wings are crumbling
I'm slowly surfacing
I'm slowly surfacing
Ah sun
Here she comes
Oh sun
Here it comes
Sun
Here it comes
I'm slowly surfacing
I'm slowly surfacing
I feel the heat rising in you
Tricking of water on the spine
I can the angels singing
They're saying your name

Everything Feels Real
05:19
|

Everything
Everything feels real
Feels real with you
Everything
Everything
It feels real with you
Everything feels close
I can touch inside
Curled up inside with you
He doesn't recognise the love I have for him yet
Stored up in my insides
Worn on the inside for so long now
I carry him home with me
Through the dark you can lead me
Blindfolded
You can lead me on
Lead me on
Like the sky the sunset
Finally wake
In the palm of gods hand I lie
I just have to wait
I just have to wait
'Cause the truth is
I haven't put my hands where they belong
I hope they belong with you
I hope they belong with you

Fall
08:24
|

Fall for the first time
Knowing it won't be the last
Fall for the first time
Knowing it won't be the last
Early morning
You walk quietly away
Leave without a trace
Don't you
All the days beauty unravels
You're dressed in a sunset
About to meet the moonset
You wear shiseido red to turn my head
To turn my head
You fall for the first time
Knowing it won't be the last
It won't be the last
Early morning
Walk quietly away
Leave without a trace
My wild dove
My Lizard heart
How could you love me
With words like that
With words like that
And how could you love me
With words like that
With words like that
Alone with you
Hotel room
Lights are flickering
Your smoked stained hands
I light a match
To light you up inside
And like this match
I come alive
Second line is yin
A woman
The ice is too thin
You cannot cross
Bird finds it's nest
The traveller first laughs
Then he cries
Then he cries
My wild dove
My lizard heart
It's early morning
I'll fall into love
I'll fall into love
I'll fall into love
Act as if you're asleep
Pour from her so lazy
Silver fox
Camellia
Milk and the crush as you moan
Tiny lights will tear us apart
Tiny lights will tear us apart
How could you love me with words like that
How could you love me with words like that

Red Afternoon
05:15
|

It's a red afternoon
Stop your moanin'
I dress lightly
Forecasting temperatures
Rise to the point
Of catastrophe
Of course he loves her
She's waking up
waking up
Of course he loves her
She's waking up
She's waking up
She hiding things from him
Poems and broken heart strings
Raw like diamonds
They fall from her mouth
He gathers her words
And swallows hard
It's in your hands now love
Of course he loves her
She's waking up
Of course she feels him
She's waking up
Lost in the world
Anoraks and parkers
Buses and trains
I forget to say your name
Lost in the world
Anoraks and parkas
Buses and trains
I forget to say your name

Strange Days
08:02
|

Take mine
You can take all of this
Too much
Already had enough
It's all getting too loaded
From my lovers tongue
Words run through me
His words they run right through me
I'm city bound
And bound to fall soon
You make me so god damn high
You make me so high
I can't get through
So much beauty before
All you do and speak
Is such beautiful anarchy
Shivering you stun me
Blue eyes they gun me down
City bound and bound to fall soon
You make me so god damn high
Almost reaching you
Oh love what have I done
To kill the thrill we had
You don't talk anymore
Ain't it strange
Ammunition from my lovers tongue
Words run right through me
Strange days
I can't trust this one
I expect my heart to brake
Fatalist my heart
See, you've broken me before
Strange Days
Can't trust this one
Oh strange days
Expect my heart to break
Fatalist my heart
Fatalist my heart
The thrill it nearly kills you honey
The thrill it nearly kills you honey
It nearly kills

Lost Highway
02:30
|
|||
When you take your love away from me
When I'm left to look at all this
We've come to far haven't we
Without knowing
Without knowing
With your hot hands
If i could turn your heart like a key
Unlock the sparks
They would fly like darts
I can't explain how this happened
I can't explain it
A lost highway
I will run
With wild geese that fly
Without the weight of you dear
I can't go through
Without the weight of you

Sleep Longer
05:14
|
|||
I'm just going to sleep through all this
I'm just going sleep through all this
My head is full of ramblings
My mind is full of you
But I come alive with you love
I come alive with you
Just sleep he said
I'll watch from here
His crooked teeth
And hands so warm
I lose myself here
And I come alive with you love
I come alive with you
And I come alive with you love
And I come alive with you
With you love

A Place Near The Mouth
03:58
|
|||
There's a place for us
The sun is shining there
It's a place near the mouth
Touches the tongue
Catches the breath
Finds a home in the heart
There's a place for us
The sun is shining there
is a place near the mouth
Touches the tongue
Caught in the throat
Catches the breath
Finds a home in the heart
Hitching up her skirt
He said ‘I think you're the one I prayed to god about'
I crash against him
It's the weave we make
It's the weave we make
He says he wants to shine
Delicate, tiny and drunk
Delicate, tiny and drunk

Lumen
11:23

See in heart
I am all blood
It beats through me
See in my hands
I carry a part
Keep me close to remind me
See in my eyes
A place for your to fill
See in my mouth
A taste I have
Thirst for you still
See into me
As I see into you
Close your eyes now love
Close your eyes now love
Nothing to fear
Nothing at all
Nothing to fear
Nothing at all
Into a hidden part of me
He comes quietly
Please
Into a hidden part of me
He comes quietly
Please
All I am is here
