Its cold along the western shore,
but i don’t mind
i know that i should ask for more
from my dull life
So do you feel like you’re searching
or did you find what you want
And have you got to keep moving
or are you happy to stop
And do you always need answers
or is a question enough?
Perhaps i’m asking too much?
slow decent into the grey
but no one is there
i wish that you were waiting for me
but you’re long gone from here
i know its too late to ask
But do you feel like you’re searching
or did you find what you want
And have you got to keep moving
or are you happy to stop
And do you always need answers
or is a question enough?
Perhaps i’m asking too much?
You know hope you find what you’re looking for
but please don’t come looking for me

Dear future, you’re a liar,
You sold me the world, with pictures from magazines
but as i follow you blindly, i’ve realised
I'm never quite where you promised me
Dear Future,
I will always, be in your debt,
for this dream i can’t afford
so next year please just take me
somewhere more real
I am not dreaming anymore

Cold Noise

Are you finding it hard? because i know i am
Its support to be easy with all that we have
but somehow I am lost, and its worse every day
despite all of the chances, i still can’t escape
i remember the time, from before i was here
through a rose tinted lens ,that i know isn’t real
But i’m still looking back to how things used to be
from before i was lost, at least you’re loosing with me
in this cold noise
the beautiful cold noise
in the cold noise
this beautiful cold noise
Are you finding it hard, as the days pass you by
Such a terrible waste, are you sure you don’t mind
There’s a million stores, but none of them ours
did you learn to ignore it? because i still hear the sound
of the cold noise
this beautiful cold noise
in the cold noise
this beautiful cold noise
Are you finding it hard, as the world falls apart
such a wonderful place, is it breaking your heart?
but i have to be honest, it is all i can do
just to keep things together, and stay lost here with you
in the cold noise
this beautiful cold noise
lost in this cold noise
this beautiful cold noise
in the cold noise
this beautiful cold noise
lost in this cold noise
this beautiful cold noise

The Breaking

There’s a breaking of the world
Are you ready?
to be eaten by the wolves,
and their cameras
and the cameras
Theres a breaking of the world
so this is goodbye
But out of the last ruins will grow
New life
i will see the world burn
on the news
In high definition
but please
don’t come through my window
its too real
Theres a breaking of the world
so this is goodbye
But out of the last ruins will grow
New life

In Darkness

In the lights, all that i see,
are things i said, come back to me
an echo
but still i’m waiting, for the black,
i gave my time, now i want it back
please let go of me
i need it all of the time,
just let me fall into the wires,
into the wires
i’m like a creature of the deep,
i close my eyes, but I never sleep
and i’m so tired
that i’m sinking
i am sinking
In the darkness, i escape
In the darkness, i escape
In the darkness, i escape
In the darkness, i escape

Dive
08:05
|
|||
|
I’ll be there for you
when there is blood in the water
lets get out of here
and escape, whilst we still can
so come on darling, lets ascend
But don’t let it get you down
please try
but if its already too late
and you’re sinking beneath the waves
then don’t let it get you down
this time
and we will soon rise up again
just keep watching the surface
dont dive
ASCEND!
REPEAT!

The Garden

|
You will find me, in the garden,
on the last day of the world
from the highest branches of the sycamore
i’ll be watching as we explore
Will you join me, in the garden,
for the first step, into the stars
because tomorrow we’ll just, be little particles
i don’t want us, to drift apart
there’s a strange light, on the horizon
its the last thing, we’ll ever see
but as we wait together, in the garden
i am as happy, as can be
because you’re here with me
