THE GREAT ESCAPE

As our City slept through harboured dreams. We thought of friends a world away.

And when we awoke from our dearest trip We found after all that the words were broke

In the presence of wrecks we found ourselves Surrounded by animals the weakest of all.

And when we awoke from our distant trip We saw after all of the greatest trick.

THE GARDENER

f I was a Gardener. Corrupt and captured hearts. A lighthouse on the brink.

Lights for your dead parade. A train wreck in a storm. the banker always wins.

We built it to burn it down. A right to the farthest star. Your heart is just the start.

If I was a Gardener. Corrupt and captured hearts A lighthouse always stands

Lights for your damn parade. A train wreck in a storm. Your heart is just the start.

Over your Cities grass will grow / OVER your Cities grass will grow.

If I was a Gardener. If I was a Gardener. If I was a Gardener. If I was a Gardener.

IF YOU BELIEVED YOU WERE AN ISLAND

Cut the spokes. Flee that army in your head.

Feel, radiate. Know that time will build us all and you'll escape to sea.

Cut the ropes. Chains are armies for your head.

Stay long before These pictures come unstuck for sure and you'll escape to sea.

Cut the cord. Feed that army in your head.

If you believed you were an island then we'd build a boat and we'd escape to sea.

TO THE STARS

Fly me to the moon when I'm scared of the dark in our ruined young hearts.

Fly me to the moon when I'm scared of the dark in our ruined young hearts.

Fly me to the stars when I'm scared of what's left in your ruined old heart.

Fly me to the stars when I'm scared of what's left in your ruined old heart.

Fly me to the moon when I'm scared of the dark / Fly me to the moon when I'm scared of the dark

Fly me to the moon when I'm scared of the dark / Fly me to the moon when I'm scared of the dark

THE LIGHTHOUSE

I walk through stars. And build a love that glides.

Through storms we ran. But I slipped And fell behind.

Take flight of this life And let us sail these streets.

I read your books And stole what we could steal.

We watch old films And stayed up far too late.

"If you could see what I've seen, with your eyes".

I bought you a lighthouse For your finest hour

To guide you by seas and stars.

I bought you a lighthouse For your finest hour

To guide you by seas and stars.

WHILE NOTHING

Pull yourself back to here With every heart that must be near.

Sell your soul among the seers With every heart that must be dear.

Bullets for the fear we faced With every heart that must be chased.

All this and to what end? For every heart that must be named.

While nothing whiled away.

We sailed out and sank our name.

While nothing a world away.

We sailed out and sank these names.

IF ONLY I

If only I left to see you. A weight that never leaves.

If only I'd built these houses With the same ideals.

If only I was awake in a town that never sleeps.

A million miles away through the storm that sank our ship.

If only I'd lived to see you. Weightless memories.

If only I'd built new houses For us all to live.

If only I was awake in a town that never sleeps.

A million miles away through the storm that sank our ship.

If only I left to see you. A weight that never leaves.

If only I'd built these houses With the same ideals.

If only I was awake in a town that never sleeps.

A million miles away through the storm that sank our ship.

All These Ghosts

We stole sunny days as we planned our escapes in the waking hours.

All of these ghosts and their slowest of walks and they hide beneath the sheets.

But inside we spoke about all that was broke and to things done differently

If given a chance at all this lost romance and to break a mended heart.

It's been honest love, it's an honest love.

I left you awake without storm without shade in the wakeless hours.

All that white noise in those beautiful eyes and a blink that hides beneath.

I said let's step out for some air, I'll be back just save a spot for me,

Don't let it get cold or then our hearts will spoil and there's no coming back.

It's been honest love, it's an honest love.

We woke with a spill in the thrill of it all of our greatest revere.

And all of these ghosts they still follow us close,

It's a film left on repeat.

All that white noise in those beautiful eyes and a blink that hides beneath.

But inside we choked about all that we'd broke and to fix a fallen heart.

It's been honest love, it's an honest love.

A Dead Channel Blues

I was awake when no one else was.

I had a start, don't blame it on me.

It had begun, I've almost split in two.

Fear of the dark, we're almost into

A dead channel blues at my most stoic.

We are the kids of witches you would burn.

And you with the soul at my most beautiful.

I was awake, I won't blame you if you weren't.

I will know the players and the pawns.

Few would know the fires and the stones.

I will know the craters and the storms.

I will know.

Stranded, Not Lost

Stranded, not lost this town's gone wrong, we let her slide.

While we lay sleeping the seeds crept in and made a home.

Laid to unrest she sighs and sings patiently.

If I close my eyes I swear I hear her worried song.

Astray, but not lost this town's gone on far too long.

Little Houses

If I was to build little houses with everyone I've known.

If we were to live in a world that we never thought exists.

If I was to hold the little life that you carried all this time.

And if I was to build little houses with everyone inside.

I'd fly to the starts, build a raft and then sail us one by one.

I'd walk to the moon if it meant we'd be safe in our own home.

But if we were to run, to turn around and forget where we'd come from.

And if you were to stay and put your faith in me every single hour.

Hold still. We'll let ourselves just fall away...

There Are Mountains Underneath Us

We should have known, you're not an island but you're as closed as one
And all this time, I dream of nothing but I dream of all your flaws
And cut through concrete: A failed heart that's big enough for me to break it
We've always known, there are mountains hiding underneath us, hiding underneath us.

All this we'd hid, you're not an island but you're survived by sea
And all this time, although we played at love this heart has had enough of
The rats at the gates closing in and now he screams at all your neighbours
How could you know?
That there are mountains hiding underneath.

We should have seen, you're not an island but you're as closed as me
Of all things we'd said, you kept your friends held close but they have kept you closer
I cut through concrete: A failed heart that's broke enough for me to stop it
We've always known that there are monsters living in our beds.

For Empire

All that's left, not an island but a wreck for our time.
We were led to our farthest edge cut and cut adrift.
I was lost on my darkest days, the wolf claws at my feet.
I was building something to turn this boat around.

All that's left, not an empire but a state lost at sea.
If you'd have known would you call it home?
Oh how the land lies.
We were lost on our darkest days, the wolf curled at your feet.
I was hoping someone would turn this boat around.

All that's left, not an island but the wreck of our times.

I was building something to turn this boat around.

The Navigator

I came to map the sun and stars
But I can't find them in the dark
To navigate the ocean floor
I can't hold my breath much more
You sat and watched us as we slept
Standing guard above our beds
Whole of heart and wholly ours
Despite the fires all around

I came to map the ocean floor
But I can't hold my breath no more
I sat and watched you as you slept
Standing guard over your head
I would live another life
As soon as I am found myself
I came to map the sun and stars Falling over in the dark

Solus Ipse

A life lived at high speed
A moment of tenderness is lost
Beneath a crowd all heavy breath
I watch myself sway desperately in time
Alone again or in the dark
Holding hope and safe from harm

I have never lived
I have never lived far from here
I was always lost
Even when I seem all myself

All at once our thoughts refract
I fall asleep among the fireworks
Our fears all drawn out hand in hand
Random sparks of addled reverie
Memories fall like shooting stars
The light already knows it's end as it starts

I have never lived
I have never lived far from here
I was always lost
And always when I seem most myself

DearFearHere

I was feeling in the dark around us
Lost in all the tender-hearts and old loves
Best to hide inside the wrecks of frailties
Caught between a rock and or a canyon

Dear fear here / Dear fear here

All our mistakes always have a home here
Best to hide away from ties and bright lights
All my shipwrecked friends can see the railings
We hide among our tenderhearted failings

Dear fear here / Dear fear here
