Light echoes
01:29
|
|||
|
Wading out into the oceans of time where light reflected our life/Galaxies echoing ages communicating over and out/I've got two aches, ginger-spiced and full of heartbreak/I've got two aches, one for memory, one for waking up

Burn your bridges use a torch dipped in/childhood dreams and a lost cause/Everything must go/Stick to things you do not know steeped in/all the words you said were true/No need to be cruel/Past lives don't seem real/Write us another lie to wave goodbye/Cast light through this screen/Watch everybody die to be reborn/Bring your heart up to the fire, bleed out/Watch it burn and turn to coal/Tell me how it feels/There's no way you'll fall asleep so stay up/Slip away into the night/That's where we will meet/Past lives don't seem real/Write us another lie to wave goodbye/Cast light through this screen/Watch everybody die to be reborn/Long nights make us feel/that we are all alive, ahead of time/Burn me down, stalemate

Getaway plans
01:42
|
|||
|
What about the things we said we would do/Now you're gone and I'm getting around/What about the love we always assumed/would linger on like the echo of sound/Getaway plans/Yesterday a man got shot for his shoes/Still you're gone and I'm feeling unfound/Let us make a getaway plan for the truth/We could linger on like an echo of sound/Getaway plans

Miner

|
I don't think it ever gets right/I don't think it ever adds up/I don't think you're feeling enough/I don't think you brought up too much/Do you/Better not stay home/Better not stay down this mine/Better off to roam/Better to go mining time/Did you get a glimpse of the fight/Was it just a flick of the light/I don't think it ever gets right/I think we should be driving all night/Do you/Better not stay home/Better not stay down this mine/Better off to roam/Better to go mining time

My heart wakes too slow
02:27
|
|||
|
Bring it on and shed some light/Everybody knows that I don't want us to fight/Put it off and let me out/I really didn't see it, I did not mean to shout/I let go/I should have known/My bones show/My heart wakes too slow/Keeping low I need sunlight/Everything is spinning I'm stuck way up on high/Pick me up and put me out/Nothing can make me feel I don't have to shout/I let go/I should have known/My bones show/My heart wakes too slow

Starlight beacons

|
Pick a sensation/Dig in deep 'cause they do what they say they will do/Every second/counts as perception/Close your eyes and find a galaxy of cold black/dead reflection/What a deception/We were brought up thinking we would grow up building/starlight beacons/Bow down/Bow down to every second of life/Grab a conviction/What would you say if the aliens arrive;/scream "co-existance"/Our daily affliction/doing all we say we will do not just saying/all we will not do/Cold calculation/makes us all forget what we should all remember/we're starlight beacons/Bow down/Bow down to every second of life/Did you love me/Did I say something that made us co-existing/Did you love me/Did I say something that made us cease existing?

I don't think you feel it/Yeah, you never miss it/'til it's smoke/That was one real close hit/Why go try and fix it/'less it's broke/Burn me into embers/Burn me into semblance/of my better ways on better days/Driving ever faster/Trying hard to conquer/that great joke/One big broken mess, sir/Try go for the lesser/and you'll choke/Burn me into embers/Burn me into semblance/of my better ways on better days/Burn it all down/Burn with brighter flames/into all my better ways on better days

Something to be done for
02:53
|
|||
|
I did something to be done for, I did something that was left unspoken of and now/everything is broken, I've got everything tied up in a nested knot/Let me bring you back to shatter/Let me pick you up in pieces you'll leave when you crack/I've got something I can show you/I did something that was left unspoken of and now/don't be alarmed/don't be alarmed/Nothing, nothing makes it easy/Something, something should be forgiven/"Kiss me, kiss me again!"/I've got something to be done for/I said something to be taken seriously mean/I could let you in on secrets/I said something that is best unspoken of and now/don't be alarmed/(I want something else to stay)/Don't be alarmed/(I want something else to stay)/Don't be alarmed/don't be alarmed/Nothing, nothing makes it easy/Something, something should be forgiven/"Kiss me, kiss me again!"

Kil the moon
02:40
|
|||
|
I guess we know but that don't make it right/It's all simple things that get us every time/Woke up too late the day got out of hand/Now the slightest push will break me where I stand/Taking off, something got inside/Taking off, some things make us better than we are/Tangled up so bad there's nothing to undo/All I could think, "Just let me kill the moon!"/Time is taking off and leaving me behind/All I want is night and nothing left to find/Taking off, something got inside/Taking off, some things make us better than we are/"Take it all away, it's nothing that we need"/What a simple way to say that you've got everything/It's all a matter of the same mistakes we gotta heed/The only wake-up call, look up and straight into the wind

Walk up all the steps/Climb up to the attic door, step lightly/Walk on ginger feet/Feel your heart beat in your chest/it's frightening/Now you're on your own/Forget your daddy down below/his mean words/Keep your mind set on/"nothing waiting in the dark"/it's alright/It's my time, getting about/My dreams sing further and far/It's my life, over and out/I dream of whispering stars/Open up the door/feel the static all around/it's tingling/Reach in for the light/Feel your heart jump when it won't/turn on/Hear your mum and dad/getting restless down below/they're waiting/Kick it open wide/take a breath and step inside/eyes wide/And it's full of stars/You laugh yourself ahead of time/And you are a star/casting light across the galaxies/It's my time, getting about/My dreams sing further and far/It's my life, over and out/My dream of whispering stars
