Goodbye Niagara
03:12
|
|||
Step up to the edge now
Take my hand and we'll go together
A warning sign
There's no point in telling you that it's pointless
I'm positive that you know
You're too negative
Goodbye Niagara
Step away from the edge
Take my hand and we'll leave together
A warning sign
I can't convince you that it isn't worth it
Come back to me and I'll show you
You're perfect
Goodbye Niagara

My Low
04:37
|
|||
I don't wanna bring nobody down to my low
There are still places we can go
To lie down
The end, I know, is coming close
Who the hell do you think you are to stand up?
It's not always easy to know you've had enough
The end, I know, is coming close

Rorschach Disco
02:46
|
|||
You shapeshift in the dark
Mesmerise me under strobe-light
Your skin change
Your eyes are blazing
A butterfly interzone
At the Rorschach Disco
Say what you see
At the Rorschach Disco
Come dance with me
I lose you
I lose myself
Two humans
No responses
The walls shine
The floor is shifting
Animal Hide
No escape
At the Rorschach Disco
Say what you see
At the Rorschach Disco
Come dance with me

I Like It
03:08
|
|||
There's no way to escape this place
I'm dry like a thirsty dog
I'm falling down again
And I think I like it
Perhaps I'm not making myself clear?
I don't want to know you
I'm falling down again
And I think I like it
:(
Mean it

Biodregradable
04:08
|
|||
You got me thinking about what makes a life
The weightless days of pinholes and hot knives
A Telecaster copy, used
Studio Tan
One motorcyle, disassembled
You had a plan
Ultimately, we are biodegradable
An orange wardrobe full of cigarettes
Who saw the lions with an inside silhouette?
A black light shining in a silver room
You were invincible
And gone too soon
Ultimately, we are biodegradable
How many people were you between the lines?
Some early morning did you see the signs?
Somewhere to put all the pieces that made a whole
A model ship unfinished
We'll never know
Memories awaken what The Timebandits have taken
In your secret garden watching sparrows and House martins
Ultimately we are biodegradable

Kunlangeta
03:06
|
|
||
Shallow emotional affect
Lack of empathy
A history of breaking rules
Promiscuity
Before I had a target
I couldn't miss
Lack of remorse or guilt
Need for stimulation
A pack of logical lies and manipulation
Before I had a target
I couldn't miss
A fox in my henhouse
A wolf in sheep's clothing
(Push a) Kunlangeta off the ice
Or across the borderline
Before I had a target
I couldn't miss

Nightbirds
02:52
|
|
||
Who saw the Nightbirds?
Or heard their call
To meet them at the deep end of the empty swimming pool?
In the shadow theatre,
True colours show
Like petrol on wet blacktop
I told you so
The Nightbirds sing
And when your sleepless nights are all behind you
Something's still following you home
Did they capture your imagination?
Do they hold it prisoner still?
I told you so
The Nightbirds sing
|

The Trial
04:12
|
|
||
Pride stripped bare
I'm walking up your stairs
Repeating whiskey prayers
Do my accusers wait for me up there?
My trial/Maitreya
Of crime and punishment won't fit the bill
My will is weak and yet my spirit is unbroken
|
||||

Saturation Point
03:10
|
|||
Come closer: I'll test you
It's best you don't test me
I'll fail
And sit in judgement
Of all we've tried to be
At saturation point
I feel I've gone too far
At saturation point
I make amends
At saturation point
I feel suspended
You spent so long chasing the unobtainable
You didn't notice that you had me at 'hello'
At saturation point
I feel I've gone too far
At saturation point
I make amends
At saturation point
I feel suspended
'If you're wet already - you might as well go swimming'
It's bad advice
At saturation point
I feel I've gone too far
At saturation point
I make amends
At saturation point
I feel suspended
I want to let myself go

Sunyata
03:05
|
|||
I alone know why you left me to my own devices
Beautiul emptiness
|

No Illusions
04:38
|
|
||
Don't answer me with a question
I'm biding my time
The truth is not enough
To let you come together
Another part of me?
|

Hidden Shallows
04:14
|
|||
I will follow you
If you look the other way
Meet me on the moon
I'll be out of sight, again
I don't have hidden depths
I have hidden shallows
I'm standing in the dark
Praying it won't change anything
Don't ask me to stand up
I'm almost happy in the shadows
Standing in the dark
Praying it wont change anything
Once upon a time
I held sunshine in my hand
You showed me where to look
I was an ungrateful man
I don't have hidden depths
I have hidden shallows
I'm standing in the dark
Praying it won't change anything
Don't ask me to stand up
Almost happy in the shadows
Standing in the dark
Praying it wont change anything
When you learn the truth
There's no point in going on
Pretending to be blue
Everything is wrong
I don't have hidden depths
I have hidden shallows
I'm standing in the dark
Praying it won't change anything
Don't ask me to stand up
Almost happy in the shadows
Standing in the dark
Praying it wont change anything

Step up to the edge now
Take my hand and we'll go together
Goodbye Niagara
