Oh, this will wear us down
Until we're underground
Will wear us 'till we've found ourselves
Oh, this will wear us down
Until we're underground
Will wear us 'till we've found ourselves
There is glass, smoke and wire 'neath our feet
Yet we dig for flowers through the cracks in the street
And you'll see our blood through the pores in our chests
As slaves to romance 'till we rest
Oh, this will wear us down
Until we're underground
Will wear us 'till we've found ourselves
Oh, this will wear us down
Until we're underground
Will wear us 'till we've found ourselves

Magnetic North

A broken compass
And puzzle pieces
In my hand, in my hand
No new direction
Answers or thoughts to reprimand
So I'll pretend
I've laid down
Just wasting time
Counting sand, counting sand
Pulled out my hair
Shown I've grown
And understand, understand
North is the way, to a new beginning
Frozen away, silent bloody brimming hearts
Tethered and frayed by my eye's reflection
Forward and back, I walk
Those forward thinkers
Insurance brokers
In the dark, in the dark
They can't see
What this all
Means to me
North is the way, to a new beginning
Frozen away, silent bloody brimming hearts
Tethered and frayed by my eye's reflection
Forward and back
North is the way, to a new beginning
Frozen away, silent bloody brimming hearts
Tethered and frayed by my mind's regression
Forward and back, I walk
North is the way, to a new beginning
Frozen away, silent bloody brimming hearts
Tethered and frayed by my eye's reflection
Forward and back
North is the way, to a new beginning
Frozen away, silent bloody brimming hearts
Tethered and frayed by my mind's regression
Forward and back, I walk

I've been getting tired
Reaching for the dawn
The city night's still a mystery shining bright
But I know, I can't wait so long
Out through the window, it's haunting my sight
Surround ourselves
There's a ghost inside our ears
Surround ourselves
Follows shadows, fallen fears
Surround ourselves in yellow light
Everyone's invisible
The story's barely started
But where's it supposed it to lead?
We'll take a walk down that empty city block
And we'll land in the arms of our dreams
Surround ourselves
There's a ghost inside our ears
Surround ourselves
Follows shadows, fallen fears
Surround ourselves in yellow light
Everyone's invisible
Out through the window, it's haunting my sight
Out through the window, it's haunting my sight
Out through the window, it's haunting my,
Haunting my, haunting my sight
Surround ourselves
There's a ghost inside our ears
Surround ourselves
Follows shadows, fallen fears
Surround ourselves in yellow light
Everyone's invisible
Surround ourselves
There's a ghost inside our ears
Surround ourselves
Follows shadows, fallen fears
Surround ourselves in yellow light
Everyone's invisible

We
We all
We all know
We all know
We all know her by name
When
When smile
When smiling
When smiling
You'll no-, notice her gaze
Her
Her touch
Her touch ain't
Her touch ain't
Her touch ain't ever the same
She
She's here
She's hiding
She's here by your side

Sing Me To Sleep
04:34
|
|||
When the thin-filmed apathy is peeled away
Clockwork silent in the snow
Portraits, spectacles and rooftops stain
Pages of a day she used to know
Tales of those cross-country bus tours
Herds of sheep lead the way
Beautiful girl inside that belly
Caressing when night falls she'll say
No matter where you think we came from
Whatever haunting calls your name
If home is truly where the heart is
Near or far, we will feel the same
No matter where you think you came from
You'll go back soon
For now you'll have to lay your head down
Close your eyes and sing this tune
Memories of sail boats and folk songs
Spinning disc, numbered sheep
Star spangled ceilings and far off lands to conquer
Colour his dreams, sing him to sleep
No matter where you think we came from
Whatever haunting calls your name
If home is truly where the heart is
Near or far, we will feel the same
No matter where you think you came from
You'll go back soon
For now you'll have to lay your head down
Close your eyes and sing this tune
No matter what you can tell me, I think I'm fine here on my own
No matter what you can tell me, I think I'm fine here on my own
No matter where you think we came from
Whatever haunting calls your name
If home is truly where the heart is
Won't you sing
No matter where you think you came from
You'll go back soon
For now you'll have to lay your head down
Close your eyes and sing this tune

Amber Skies

Stay here a while, on this edge
By my side, holding on tight
Though your gaze, focused down
Furrowed brow, drops from my sight
Getting colder, snow falls from your eyes
Trickles and floats, down below
To settle 'neath amber skies
I'll fall asleep, touch your face
Taste your smile, fiery eyes
Flick'ring light, won't ignite, soggy tinder
Carry me home through the night
Your toes are so cold, frozen muscle and bone
I won't let you speak as I fall sound asleep
Let's pretend that it all works out
Far down below, fields of green
Clouds of white, I shiver and glow
By your side, on this edge
Lost in time, with what's gone untold
Knuckles white, feeling's gone
Frozen tongue and brittle bone
Sky's on fire, silent, casts of stone
Carry me home through the night
Your toes are so cold, frozen muscle and bone
I won't let you speak as I fall sound asleep
Let's pretend that it all works out
Carry me home through the night
Your toes are so cold, frozen muscle and bone
I won't let you speak as I fall sound asleep
Let's pretend that it all works out
Carry me home through the night
Your toes are so cold, frozen muscle and bone
I won't let you speak as I fall sound asleep
Let's pretend that it all works out
Carry me home through the night
Your toes are so cold, frozen muscle and bone
I won't let you speak as I fall sound asleep
Let's pretend that it all works out

Freckled noses browning in the sun
Your eyelash gone astray
Climb the ridge and catch the dying light
Throw our empties all away
You are safe where you are
You are home in my head
If there's nowhere to turn
I'll turn in
Cotton blankets bundled keeping warm
Swinging gently in the breeze
We rest our heads beneath the scattered glow
And swim in midnight mystery
You are safe where you are
You are home in my head
If there's nowhere to turn
I'll turn in
You are safe where you are
You are home in my head
If there's nowhere to turn
I'll turn in
You are safe where you are
You are home in my head
If there's nowhere to turn
I'll turn in

I can feel my heart breaking
But I can't let it go
Suspended in anticipation
For some feeling that it used to know
Dai da dai da
Dai da dai da
I'll crawl beneath the bedsheets
I'll crawl beneath the bedsheets
I'll crawl beneath it all
I'll crawl beneath the bedsheets
I'll crawl beneath the bedsheets
I'll crawl beneath it all

Young Hearts

Young man, your distant mind has travelled
Too far from home
Come back, empty your baggage at our doorstep
Fall down, all that you want's amongst you
Buried in bone
Reach out to tangle the whispers of gentle strangers
When we were young, we were young
We were poised for the moon
We will reach for the sun again
Battered and bruised, and alone
Take me out of the cold
We will reach for the sun again
When we are gone, we are gone
It'll be carved in stone
We will reach for the sun again
Oh, don't let me get old, just remember
We'll still be young hearts 'till the end
Unearthed, shrouded in doubt and darkness
Your eyes will adjust
Look up, clouds dance above you like candles
You've come, come much too far to lie here
And bask in the sun
Waiting for planets to pass and an amber sky
When we were young, we were young
We were poised for the moon
We will reach for the sun again
Battered and bruised, and alone
Take me out of the cold
We will reach for the sun again
When we are gone, we are gone
It'll be carved in stone
We will reach for the sun again
Oh, don't let me get old, just remember
We'll still be young hearts 'till the end
When we were young, we were young
We were poised for the moon
We will reach for the sun again
Battered and bruised, and alone
Take me out of the cold
We will reach for the sun again
When we are gone, we are gone
It'll be carved in stone
We will reach for the sun again
Oh, don't let me get old, just remember
We'll still be young hearts 'till the end

Mademoiselle

I walk this street alone
Because no one's at home
I have a date with Marie
Past Rachel I walk
I can't stop to talk
She is waiting on me
I miss the 24
Mrs. Schwartz I do adore
But I must be on my way.
Mr. Viateur
You have a lovely daughter
But I don't have time to play.
In the evening her breath just smells like gravy
In the morning congestion in her heart
And on Sundays she'll bake and beat her bongos
When she's done she'll get herself off.
When we're together here
I often tend to leer
As other girls go passing by.
Don't always stick around
But other gals I've found
Often take me to her side.
In the evening her breath just smells like gravy
In the morning congestion in her heart
And on Sundays she'll bake and beat her bongos
When she's done she'll get herself off.
