Love, Don't Fail Me Now!

[Verse 1]
I knew from the moment I saw you
That we were just meant to be friends
The nervous excitement took over
And suddenly days just stretched, into years
Naturally
As we made our way through the woods of change
[Chorus 1]
Love, don't fail me now
Leave me with no doubt
You set me free from all my fears
Make me smile, through all those painful tears
And like nothing's changed at all
You feed my fire when the rain falls
When it falls on me
[Verse 2]
December is casting a shadow
Renewal is slow to set in
The drops on the window reminding me
Of moments in time
Our breath on the glass
We wrote our names
Did I lose myself in the woods of change?
[Chorus 2]
Love, don't fail me now
Leave me with no doubt
You set me free from all my fears
Make me smile, through all those painful tears
And like nothing's changed at all
You feed my fire when the rain falls
When it falls on me
[Chorus 3]
Love, don't fail me now
Leave me with no doubt
You set me free from all my fears
Make me smile, through all those painful tears
And like nothing's changed at all
You feed my fire when the rain falls

Manifest Destiny
05:33
|

[Verse 1]
Infant arcadia
Restless and holy country
Whispers of what's to come
Fortune arising
The young colossus stirs
Hitches her horse to wagon
And sets her eyes upon
Distant horizons
Stir up the sleep of
A hundred centuries
Inspire in chosen ones
A sense of meaning
We will accept no
Degree of lethargy
We'll scorch our brand into the earth
We're shining
[Chorus 1]
Land of god, gold and green
The hand of providence
Heading westward to the sea
Ours by right divine, and practically free
I will take what's meant for me
[Verse 2]
And like a seed it spreads
With tendrils fast unfurling
Take root in every man
Feeding the lion
The pieces fall in place
Future laid out before us
God has in store for you
And end to your suffering
[Chorus 2]
Land of god, gold and green
The hand of providence
Heading westward to the sea
Ours by right divine, and practically free
I will take what's meant for me

Drift

[Verse 1]
It's not what people say
Daft, or absent minded
Really you're just somewhere else
You don't have to change
Truth is where you find it
On a stage or on a shelf
[Chorus 1]
In a city of pretending
You be anything you want to be
A pirate or an astronaut
Let go and be free
You're safe and warm
[Verse 2]
This human cocoon
A place we will return to
Patiently awaits our souls
Letters on the floor
Piled up behind the door
I promise I'll get back to you
[Chorus 2]
In a town of recollection
There is everything you've ever loved
The streets are lined with all you are
Let go and catch fire
You're safe and warm

Seafoam
05:37
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Seafoam off the crest of a wave
Dust into DNA
Needle lifted by a hand
Flower falling through the air
Tiny life in my ancient arms
Grow as I fall apart
Return what was never yours
Equalise, return to earth
[Chorus 1]
Stuck in the interim I stand still
My relativistic point of view
Making a mountain of a mole hill
Fighting for air I know I need
To find a way back down
[Verse 2]
Minor constellations
In an endless gratuity
Everything you bring to bear
Firework explode in air
[Bridge]
But the bond between us stops me floating away
Beyond what I know
There are things that I just can't explain
On the ladder
We build all our lives
Then disappear in the blink of an eye
Like the sun at the edge of the sky
The day is done
[Chorus 2]
Am I an inevitability?
Am I a sum or just a part?
Am I divine or just debris?
Am I a head or just a heart?

The Hourglass
03:57
|
|||
[Verse 1]
I pulled your name out of a hat
Flipped the hourglass and patiently waited
I drew a picture of your face in my brain
I wonder if you did the same for me
The time crept up on us so fast
Before I knew it I was seconds away
And as we awkwardly shook hands
I realised that you looked
Nothing like I had expected you to
I was scared, afraid to let you in
Terrified of you seeing me
For who I really am
But that was just the start of our story
[Chorus 1]
As we walked from the station
Floating carefree and weightless
I'll remember that moment
For the rest of my life
I barely closed my eyes and it was over
But still it echoes
[Verse 2]
Passed the old abandoned house next door
You introduced me to my home away from home
And on a postcard I would write,
"I'm not alone anymore!"
In the evening I would fall so hard
Head over heels
I was scared, afraid to let you in
Terrified of you
But that was just the start of our story
[Chorus 2]
As we walked from the station
Floating carefree and weightless
I'll remember that moment
For the rest of my life
I barely closed my eyes and it was over
I never thought that I would have to find you
[Chorus 3]
As we walked from the station
Floating carefree and weightless
I'll remember that moment
Until the day that I die
I barely closed my eyes and it was over
But still it echoes

Foregone Conclusion
05:14
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Would you reach down
With an outstretched hand
And no idea what God had in store for you
Consulting your conscience
You think you know
But you've already made that decision
Stretched and pulled, beyond recognition
We talk but we never listen
Hungry to feel we consume ourselves
In an endless circle of violence
It's a circle of violence
[Chorus 1]
The final tiny piece of the puzzle
Refuses to be put into place
The sadness you hold
Is turned into anger
No one will catch you when you fall now
Nothing we could say, nothing we could do
Nothing left to gain, nothing left to lose
[Verse 2]
The spark ignites and then disappears
Far from isolated it's cyclical
Beyond the threshold
Beyond return
Hindsight lost in the darkness
The fault is everywhere
The fault is everything
The fault is everyone
These are words we cannot take back
[Chorus 2]
The final tiny piece of the puzzle
Refuses to be put into place
The sadness you hold
Is turned into anger
No one will catch you when you fall now
Nothing we could say, nothing we could do
Nothing left to gain, nothing left to lose

The Thaw
03:27
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Autumn came too fast upon us
Blanketing the streets in cold
Oh, this world of wonder
Watch it form a ring of frost
Around it's neck
Do you feel a chill in the air
Can you see a thing through the snowfall
Watching my breath form an oath
To never feel this cold again
[Chorus 1]
All night I see you trapped under the ice
Holding your breath
Until the thaw arrives
But I'm inclined
To just walk away
[Verse 2]
Reaching out for love's reminder
Numbness dulls that touch of yours
Shoulder cold as winter
Warning we should quit
Before we catch our death
Out from the lungs does it spread
Black with the frostbite to limbs end
Immune to the touch of the sun
And through it all we fall again
[Chorus 2]
Desperately cutting away at the ice
Hoping to get to the warmth inside
Before we lie cold

Yeti
10:45
|

[Verse 1]
The first thing I remember
Is the smell of the air
Of freshly washed sheets
Starched and bleached for the hundredth time
And for a moment I am home
Doing laundry on a Sunday night
But carried on the breeze
Is something else I can't quite recognise
The tide of my breath
Starts to roll in and out
Every movement every touch
Sings out in the silence
But there are no cicadas
No wind in the trees
It's not this quiet in my house
My heart is racing now
[Verse 2]
I push myself up on the side of the bed
Looks like my feet are still attached
To my bare legs
I type a little story with my fingers
Got a headache that's hanging around
But it looks like that's it
Sky blue was never my colour
It reminds me of where I would rather be
I made it all the way to the gate
But it feels like it wasn't my time
Or at least not quite yet
Yeah, at least not quite yet
[Verse 3]
Lines on his face
Were run through with rain
Dust, fixated in anger just hangs there
Unable to be washed away
Now nothing but pity connects us
Ask me for energy, empath, anything at all
I may see nought but armor in the mirror
Within my soul I know
It holds me together
[Verse 4]
But what will you do when it cracks
Water rushes in and you're trapped
You find yourself drowning inside him
A man you once knew like yourself
Preventing you crying out for help
The irony lost in the panic
Confidence is overgrown with anger
A broken shell around a detonator
[Chorus 1]
Pride has taken a toll on me
And now rain still pours
But I can't hold on anymore
Deep into the cracks the dust will fall
Envy now
Strength that can never be found again
[Chorus 2]
Pride has taken a toll on me
And now rain still pours
But I can't hold on anymore
Deep into the cracks the dust will fall
Envy now
Strength that can never be found again
[Bridge]
Everything I've said
Everything I've done
Pales in comparison
To the things I've been running from
Now obsolescence is twisting the knife
Purpose has left you just waiting to die
But damaged as you are
You still matter
