Truth be told you’ll shine Through young and older times Fast to your desire Like a humming bird you’ll shine

Slow 04:37
lyrics
buy track
Help me dream oh help me fight Against the fear against the night Help me to keep breathing I can feel my knuckles turning white Guide me to the morning breeze Through the crowded ghostly seas Guide me home to reason I can feel my logic leaving me Slow Rain may fall or sun may shine Blue or grey up in the sky Caught me looking back oh I can see i'm losing track of time Glance around this empty street Look but try and be discreet Such an empty outcry everyday I seem to move my feet Slow So Slow And you know we're going slow (x7) Slow I can’t help myself even though I try There’s a people claustrophobia sitting in my mind In the city in the crowd in the lack of space In the never ending noise of the human race There’s a slower sense of time in the CBD A very common sickness overtaking me Falling from an overrated precipice So slow

Snowflakes 05:14
lyrics

I would love to put her and her five years ago In the same room and watch the biff begin With ribbons and bobby pins Oh you know that type never tasted real coke But it's morality dies and then gets resurrected weekly But each time more meekly Oh but she dipped her feet in like I begged her not to Cause I knew that she'd slip and now she's slipping and sliding Out of control I bet she thinks it's exciting And every time that I look into her eyes I see the subtle dark side That I didn’t see before All the other boys adore but I don't want to be close to you anymore ‘Cos they're all trying to be different in the same way And now her lips are speaking the words of millions Can hardly tell her apart from this fallen place It was written on her face what a fall from grace ‘Cos they're all trying to be different in the same way We were snowflakes a simplistic perfection A beautiful assembly twisting and dancing in the breeze Drifting down down down all around Drifting down down down onto the ground Soon we'll be fallen seldom a thought will be spared For the days when we were snowflakes in our simplistic perfection When we knew what was good yeah that was all understood But its hard to break the mould when you are snow They're all trying to be different in the same way

Into the Woods 04:21
lyrics
buy track
All along the road to the farm I thought of how to make you feel better Every step I took a new word Came to mind to write in your letter Bleeding hands from every thorn bush Red without a feeling to tell it Thinking of the way that you said There’s nothing left to keep us together Hold my ear to the ground Listen for a holy sound Running deep into the woods Hiding there ’til the break of dawn Falling like a heavy rain drop The sun it falls below the horizon The darkness will descend in this place The stillness will return in slow motion Running deep into the woods Hiding there ’til the break of dawn

Legacy 04:13
lyrics
buy track
I’ll take my chance with the frozen shores And the melting bark on the trees I saw I’ll wait for a time by the stone cold sun I’ll wait to ask if it ever had fun I rose so slow from my creaking bed There was no happiness in the life I led I closed my eyes for a brief moment And stood ten years older when they reopened Take me over there where my truth is found Lock me in your stare ’til my time is out I fled right out to the edge of the earth I found no difference No soul rebirth I lay down in my grave I had nothing to say Not one piece of advice No legacy to leave behind Take me over there where my truth is found Lock me in your stare ’til my time is out

Brilliant Disguise 03:21
lyrics

We put our hands out Out of the window We catch the raindrops we give a great shout We take a snapshot in the forest Being reckless nothing can stop this But all along you were someone else We were a nuclear bomb Yeah you couldn't help yourself And the fall was long I could see it in your eyes Oh what a brilliant disguise Oh what a masterful disguise Oh what a genius disguise Oh what a brilliant disguise We put our hands out Out of the window We catch the raindrops we give a great shout We take a snapshot in the forest Being reckless nothing can stop this But all along you were someone else We were a nuclear bomb Yeah you couldn't help yourself And the fall was long I could see it in your eyes Oh what a brilliant disguise Oh what a masterful disguise Oh what a genius disguise Oh what a brilliant disguise And if it all went wrong Could you be the one To bring us back to the start But all along you were someone else We were a nuclear bomb Yeah you couldn't help yourself And the fall was long I could see it in your eyes Oh what a brilliant disguise Oh what a masterful disguise Oh what a genius disguise Oh what a brilliant disguise

We're Leaving Here Now 03:07
lyrics
buy track
We're leaving here now Way away from the bustling town Can't explain such a freedom we've found Nothing's changed anywhere anyhow In the place we grew up so we're leaving here now This place would seem to hold a lot of history Memorial stones at the old library Grey brick walls with the graffiti oh Hardly a place of dreams Broken now or so it seems All of this familiarity Going about the same routine, oh We're leaving here now Way away from the bustling town Can't explain such a freedom we've found Nothing's changed anywhere anyhow In the place we grew up so we're leaving here now Gotta be somewhere Where no one knows who we are Or maybe we could go so far as to find Some place so small that there's nobody at all We've got to run away from the expectation Dodge the words and the situations Go and be free from the obligations, oh We're leaving here now Way away from the bustling town Can't explain such a freedom we've found Nothing's changed anywhere anyhow In the place we grew up so we're leaving here now (x2)

All in Good Time 05:08
lyrics
buy track
We all make promises sometimes And make our minds up to be kind We all make rules that we live by To make our hidden boundary lines I know we'd make it if we could Convince our conscience to stay good To make one difference here and there If only things could be fair Sweep the streets down below All in good time Make our last dollar show All in good time We'll be famous you know All in good time Side by side as we grow We try to build our homestead back And live through the hurricane attacks But breathe a sigh collectively And just stop following our dreams I know we'd make it if we could Convince our conscience to stay good To make one difference here and there If only things could be fair Sweep the streets down below All in good time Make our last dollar show All in good time We'll be famous you know All in good time Side by side as we grow All In good time Sweep the streets down below All in good time Make our last dollar show All in good time We'll be famous you know All in good time Side by side as we grow All in good time All in good time

Breadcrumbs 03:46
lyrics
buy track
In a dream I had we all were the same Yeah I was just the product of a lab We’ve been too bad we’ve taken the bait Just so there is a market for humiliation There was a show I saw where nobody cared Fixated on the mindless noise and pain What a perfect way to scream and pretend That life is just a meaningless observation Some may say I got lost A few bread crumbs that I forgot to toss A few wrong turns in the dark But I’m trying I read somewhere that there is a place Hidden along the southern coast of Asia Underground the world biggest cave Can you imagine what it would be like to go there Some may say I got lost A few bread crumbs that I forgot to toss A few wrong turns in the dark But I’m trying And I don’t know What it feels like And I can’t see Where this path goes But I’m hoping It’s you

Equations 05:09
lyrics
buy track
All of these years with a chip in my brain No more unique than a droplet of rain Certainty faded fast under the sun Cynical thinking that won’t be undone Little by little the winter recedes A feeling forgotten but slowly I see A fresh new horizon apart from the storm Asleep on the grass in the rays and the warmth Slowly it dawns on me things aren’t the same The spark in my memory does not remain The reason is murky and clouded and fake The problems persist like a throbbing headache There’s nothing so constant to be what it seems But nothing breaks off from the flow of the stream Fish in the river end up in the sea The ocean’s the same as it always has been To add and subtract and times by and divide Equations in place from the dawning of time Life is just all up to chance it would seem The probable cause we can never agree Of course you would say that it’s just a short time The small tragic wandering part of my mind But look through the cracks at the flesh underneath Everyone’s either a soldier or thief Finally this will all come to an end Nothing more done nothing more said Everything placed in a false symmetry Everything bent into shape perfectly Life is so easy you once said to me You don’t have to figure out how to believe You don’t have to put your whole life on the line You just have to don the facade of the time
