Muttered Words
03:36
|
|||
|
Stars are all you see
Looking above, it used to be me
But now the words don't flow
The love before had time to grow
But with the clock running down
You know, I know
I have to go.
As my love is never too much
To hold on to when it all gets too rough
And my love is but sincere
And we'll show the world, we'll show them the fear
And I know there's little I can do
To assure you, of what you know
Stuttering verbs
Turn into muttered words,
Of which nobody can decipher
But my love I've been waiting for you
To call
'Cos my love is never too old
And we'll be on trains before you know
As my love is never too cold
To warm up your bones and to harness all you hold.
I have to go.
And this road is long.
And I feel it the most when you let me know that why I'm not alone.

21, Promises
05:27
|

My love is pure, but it’s insecure
My promises confident but they’re sore
From the time it takes to conquer, dreams are not enough
For i said i would do more
I said i would do more
I wanna live on the stage
So i can buy you a house one day
I know it seems far away
But i mean these words, i say
Memories of the kitchen table
Not walking to school, or feeling able
Not leaving this house i love
Tip-toeing to the gate of trust
Feet remain sniffing pavement,
Never lurching or feeling stable
I took my chances to run
Not face the demons they become
I want to live on the stage,
So i can buy you a house one day,
I know it seems far away,
But i mean these words i say,
I want to live on the stage,
Like i said at the age of 8
And sometimes things are meant to change,
But it’s not over,
And i’ll do as i told you i would, i would.
I have to go, i have to go,
if i leave my home, if i leave my home,
I have to show, i have to show,
“You’ve earned to feel how you felt all along”
“You’ve earned to feel how you felt all along”
So i will go.
And i’ll leave my home.
I’m gunna live on the stage,
I’m gunna live on the stage.

We're All The Same
03:04
|
|||
|
Feet so cold, a burden to your toes
As we lay silent, all our fears go
Slowly we breath on our sides, in our home.
Soundtrack only from the nightlife below.
So don't hold me back,
I'm ready to go
Don't stray off track
I'm ready to show,
My hopes, your dreams,
Are all but the same now
Give me a moment
To pretend i'm alone
Helps me make sense, of what I know
Rest and feel at ease, we're truly going nowhere
But i'm perfectly waiting and,
Dreaming of somewhere

The Death of Me
03:44
|
|||
|
Time to change the same routine
Didn't leave the house until I was 14
Strap up and leave, take your weapon, you'll please
Sing these words:
"You could . never lie through your teeth"
One more second, and I will leave
Just like broom in hand,
Sweeping the garden until my next release
Until myself,
Starts to achieve
So i'll pick up,
Pick up from where I left off
My love i'll tell you once now,
I'll tell you twice
Then i'll do it for you
But this road is not my friend
He let me down, and he'll do it again
So say what you know
But my love this is not the way, to go
It's the death of me,
Don't you see?
Other moments fall in place, when I leave
He's in mourning,
From what he may see

When will you do what you say you'll do?
How could you really do it?
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
You'll lose your heart
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
Run on, run on
You'll rule your day
Crawlin' black spider baby
Crawlin' black spider
Begin to crawl on baby with the cracks were very high
Just keep on crawlin' till the day I die
Crawlin' black spider
When will you do what you say you'll do?
How could you really do it?
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
You'll lose your heart
Will you keep on running?
Baby settle down
Will you keep on running?
Run on, run on and you'll rule your day
Crawlin' black spider

Rough Terrain
03:47
|
|||
|
My fear will be knocking down walls,
Quicker than a python, wraps its open jaws
With scars, come envy
Of overworked, and under loved,
Signs to come,
But not for us.
These branches, shall become trees
This meadow, was once leaves
I'm overwhelmed, but under
Your spell of which I trust
To guide me through this rough,
This rough terrain
Now it's all over, if i can't explain
Now it's all over, if i can't explain
but what else would I do
if I could not tell you?
Wake me up, when it's all over
You decide when I get stronger too
And i'll believe, when i've set sail
That I have left,
I'm on my way for you
Because I want to.
Now it's all over if I can't explain
Now it' all over if I can't explain
But what else would I do if I could not tell you?
In this rough terrain.

The Old Stomping Ground
03:32
|
|||
|
Underneath stairways I hide
Waiting of the day to subside
When the children leave their classroom
Returning home where there mothers still love them
I'm only 14 years old
Walking in circles, before i'm told
Return to yours before I tell them
Return to yours before I tell them
See this school ghost
And run his way
I will follow orders from the ones I chase
This corridor is odious
This building strenuous to me
Hiding in corners and time goes so slowly
When there's nothing to see
Why must they learn?
Whilst nobody cares
I'm walking my own shadow
Sitting lonesome, I follow
The only routine I have offered

Feed Yourself
04:18
|
|||
|
Be brave they said,
Courageous he led them down,
The path, where the boy laments
Over his shoulder, he
Can't look in their eyes
He begins to cry
"Don't you see this is why I don't share?"
It's not fair,
On the boy with no name
The boy with no shame
I'm turning inside out
Looking for the answer
But don't go changing
Your thoughts,
For they may burn
I did what you said,
I hope that's enough
I can do no more
Hope beckons and it calls my name
To leave my home,
Again

Silver Linings
02:46
|
|||
|
Tonight I'll only think of you,
Punishment for all I didn't do
To know you're happier
These are silver linings,
To know you're being held
These are silver linings, silver linings
So be strong,
Be safe,
and be loved.

With or Without Me
04:06
|
|||
|
So say that your smile,
Is effortless and pure.
For I don't think,
I can say for sure.
My friends keep me warm
And my heart thumps for more
Grateful and loved,
Hold on to what I've got
So tell i'm fine
Your lips taste like wine to me
So tell me it's true
I meant more than this, more to you.
So breath on, little darling.
I'm sure he is more
Of a man I ever could be,
Or the man I was before
So tell me i'm fine
Your lips taste like wine to me
So tell me it's true,
I meant more than this, I meant more to you
So wait, don't say a word
I've got more than enough to be without you
So, don't say a word
And I promise I won't say a bad one about you
Your beauty will remain
In tact all the same,
With or without me.
With or without me.

Tonight
03:34
|
|||
|
Wait up, I lie with my phone in my hand
Maybe it will ring
This space, waits for you
This room waits for you
And I keep looking at the window
Maybe, you'll drop by
I know, you're not, coming home
I am alone tonight
This love hadn't run its course
And I don't think you really know
How it hurts for me to grow
