lanterns
03:00
|

|
when you work this out
i'll help you burn it down
inside an empty house
i know only embers now
and i can see through the half-light
glowing candles on the floor
and eyes that float like lanterns
dandelion dreams
when the sun comes out
i hope you're still around
no way to tell you how
i know only embers now

porch song

you stayed awake
on the front porch
waiting for sundown
just staring at the clouds
feels like the days are
always getting longer
your pain
it's all gone
what did you want to be
eternal now
and after all this life
i don't know now
we stayed awake
till the day dripped
out of our heads
we drift into the dark
i find it hard just to wander
on through this life
your pain
you're so far

drenched in moonlight
as you open your eyes
see me sometimes
in the back of your mind
when you're walking home at night
and dragged out underneath the lights
something to lose yourself inside
the way you haven't in a while
the streets are white
reflect the sky
only alive until you die
meet me outside
tell you what's on my mind
we'll be alright
cause you know you're coming back
coming back
and when it gets too loud
you're coming back
coming back
you don't have to shout
we're coming back
coming back

sun in your eyes
03:12
|
|||
|
with the sun in your eyes
shadows moving outside
bring me back to your light
can't get out of bed
in the night
falling out
heavy eyes
looking down
when you find out for yourself
nothing else ever helps
when i went out
the lights were off
the yellow house
the doors are locked
and we left home
to start again
forfeit control
where you begin

lifted

low
comatose
light it on fire
waste my time
low
on the phone
let it all out
i'll be around
when you come down
i can't get by
doing without
waiting around
until you come down
waking up and i can feel the weight is lifting again
floating up it's an infinite distance to tread

i was wrong
come and find me
i am no one
possess no body
out of it
coming back there
unaware
just a tear in my mind
goes nowhere
when the dark
brings me down
i'll return
to the start
on and on
can you see me?
we're repeating
caught in this dream

phantom limb
02:52
|
|||
|
i was lying
in the grass
the sun was shining
covered by
hanging vines
and it was quiet
it was clear
and it was calm
and in the silence
feeling time
as it went by
and disappeared
no more falling out
it's a phantom limb
never been without
always been within
in the night i will try to come and find it
it's a fire we all try to keep alive

coming back around
02:48
|
|||
|
coming back around
there's a light outside
can't see clearly
through the trees
and the fog
only embers now
rain blew all the coals out
i'm in the endless
floating out
all around
you rack your mind
with all we left behind
nowhere to hide
we've been here the whole time
|

yellow house
04:35
|
|||
|
couldn't sleep it off
ominous thoughts
keeping me up
light is peeking in
morning again
when i do pin the feeling down
i can't ever get it out right
just keep grinding away at
all the things that you rely on
we will carry on
live with our thoughts
bury our lungs
i am still too young
funeral songs
guess that we're all
leaving now
standing in the empty house
moving on and moving out
haunt me now

no moon (white stars)

forming a full moon tonight
outside i'm consumed by the light
branches lie dormant beside you
planets in orbit around you
i walked to the edge of the dock
silent, vacant and dark
the water reflecting nothing
as emptiness hangs in the sky
and no moon
|

dying light
03:20
|
|||
|
dying light
call my name
tugging on my face
i don't know where you are
i don't like when we're apart
