Wish
03:18

wish i could tell you almost everything
but things on the surface won’t let you in
why can’t we talk about love and faith
wish i could hold everything i learn
categorised by the date it’s taught
why look at life when it’s not so true
but we do
but we do
why was i scared of companionship
take it to war, s.s. loneliness
look down the aisle as she walks to me
and i do
and i do

Set-Up
02:59
|
|
||
all help for me
you take my breath down
when you touch my face
how many times?
you lift me up
you take my pain down
when you touch my face
how many times?
you think you’ve found a way out
but all you’ve been is set up
all help for me
you take my breath down
you touch my face

New Tragedy
03:43
|
|
||
she is enough
she is more than enough for me
why can’t she be
interested
new tragedy
taken inside
she has taken all my pride
and then some more
everyday
new tragedy
take your time
please take your time
i need this life
i need this life
she is enough
she is more than enough for me
why can’t i be
everything
that i need to be
a simple life
that we try to complicate
and sometimes life
just makes you wait
new tragedy
take your time
please take your time
i need this life
i need this life
i want this christ
i give it back, back to you
she is enough
she is more than enough for me
why can’t she be
anything
but new tragedy
pride has taken a dive
and every world around is collapsed
and i can see
every dream
new tragedy

Chaos Of Youth
04:24
|
|
||
inside the king
outside the queen
her subjects are weary
so swings the hand
chaos ensues
the sadness of many
the violence of few
learn
inside the pain
outside the squeal
a slow deconstruction
so swings the hand
chaos ensues
a willing surrender
the promise of truth
learn
all my years
i’m leaving now i stay
i’ll come running back and back again
all my tears
i’m leaving underground
so i’ll bury them i’ll bury them
inside the king
outside the queen
a bleeding example
so swings the hand
chaos ensues
the sad misdirection
the chaos of youth

The Taste
03:53
|
|
||
when everything is going wrong
and i find myself in a corner
still you believe in me
when everything is upside down
and my world is wrong
you never let go of me
can’t you see the beauty
everyone falls down
can’t you feel the beauty
everyone comes round
when my faith is losing it’s taste
and i find myself on the outside
still you believe in me
when my face is less than light
my will is gone
you never let go of me
can’t you see the beauty
everyone falls down
can’t you feel the beauty
everyone comes round
when this world is burning down
back to dust where it started
i know you are there with me
when everything is upside down
my world is wrong

Sometimes
04:51
|
|
||
couldn’t take another dive
couldn’t leave the house alone
somebody’s wrong
sadness has known me for too long
sometimes, sometimes
i let you down
but i won’t let it slide
i won’t let this love collide
i won’t let this love collide
it’s fine inside
couldn’t lead myself away
couldn’t leave the girl alone
somebody’s wrong
sadness has known me for too long
sometimes, sometimes
i let you down
but i won’t let it slide
i won’t let this love collide
i won’t let this love collide
it’s fine inside
couldn’t burn the house again
i had to lead myself away
somebody’s right
happiness has broken through the ground
sometimes, sometimes
i let you down
but you won’t let me die
and i’ll let this love collide
and i’ll let this love collide
and i’ll let this love collide
and i’ll let this love collide
you’re on my side

Rise
04:22
|
|
||
maybe, you're washed out
life has bruised all of us
beauty, lost in sex
we're so... modern
and it gets me down
if you're trying to get a rise out of me
well you got one
everybody's talking at me
and then the conversation stops
if you're trying to get a rise out of me
well you got one
easy, think it out
destroy or communicate
beauty, lost in sex
we're so... modern
and it gets me down
if you're trying to get a rise out of me
well you got one
everybody's talking at me
and then the conversation stops
if you're trying to get a rise out of me
well you got one
close your eyes, it's easier that way
life can give or take away
slow down, it's all around
come back round

Real
04:53
|
|
||
light from the sky’s come to take you away
cause you’re different
everybody’s trying to lead you astray
but it’s all under way
lay down your arms
get ready
leave what you have
you’re changing
it’s real
“wake up honey better go grab the kids
something’s happening
better get them down to the basement quick
i’ll be down there soon
(make them happy) (keep them quiet)
i’ve got a plan
(but it’s useless)
everything’s changing!
it’s burning...”
it’s real
everything is trying to take you down
change your lifestyle (and it’s awful)
everybody’s trying to lead you astray
(and they won’t stop at this)
lose what you have
it’s worthless
planes to the sky
it’s burning
it’s real

Knees
03:34
|
|
||
somebody tell me when they’re gone
all the other children laugh and jeer
i never started anything
seems i cause a stir just being here
somebody tell me where to hide
my normal place is too well known
i never swore at anyone
you should hear the things they yell at me
exit signs
i’m on my knees
then jesus takes my hand
the second sign
a simple life with simple men
every word they say sets up it’s home
and every time i feel alone
a voice inside me speaks so i am not
exit signs
i’m on my knees
then jesus takes my hand
then i know somebody thinks the world of me
then i know somebody thinks the world of me
exit signs
i’m on my knees
then jesus takes my hand
it takes a lot to get down on your knees
it takes a lot to get down on your knees
please

Amazing Light
05:23
|
|
||
burn everything
we are too far upwind
the smell of fear
might turn us in
leave everything
the time has come to move away
this tide of chance
might lead us home
don’t cry
it’s alright
in time we’ll all go out in amazing light
leave everyone
friends and family can’t go here
this time it’s you and me
burn everything
at least these things can keep us warm
the silent world of amazing grace
don’t cry
it’s alright
in time
we’ll all go out in amazing light
everybody’s staring now
no-one talks nobody talk
friends are down and everyone’s round
but no-one seems to think anything is wrong
trying to speak trying to talk
everything inside just can’t come out, it’s over
on my knees please
i offer everything
then it’s over
don’t cry
it’s alright
in time
we’ll all go out in amazing light

To The Reverend Love
03:24
|
|
||
you don’t bring me flowers any more
even your diamonds are rough
you and your friends, fancy friends
you all go dancing
but nobody thinks to invite me
you don’t make me laugh any more
it’s been so long, i’m so lonely
now you’re a star, super-star
and you’re on t.v.
swinging your charms with all the girls
you don’t bring me flowers any more
even your diamonds are rough
you and your friends, fancy friends
you all go dancing
is that the way it’s gonna be?

Bruised
03:33
|
|
||
it’s ok
the mercy bell is ringing
you see yourself
as an optical illusion
don’t say
no-one ever kicks you when you’re down
i know you’re lying, the blood is
trickling from your mouth
your face is bruised
and very blue
it’s alright
the air outside is singing
you see your world
as an optical illusion
slow down
don’t forget to turn the engine off
if you can’t hear
they come and break into your house
when you’re not home
and steal things
