It’s getting dark in here This valley closes over me And all the mess and dirt It hides our secrets and our sins It finds a way The rocks they reach the stone That holds this fortress down inside my mind I write a thousand words To be back in this room It’s never enough How is it turning How does it know I let it go How is it turning How does it show If it was up to me Then I would let it go I let it go The light it filters through A spotlight on the things we leave behind Collective memories Hidden in the land They stand alone The fragments of a life Buried in the dirt A history Written in the soil For you to find I let it go

Everytime 03:23
Holding me back That voice inside Wherever I go, it’s right behind Like a dark cloud hanging over me I’ve had enough of your grip on me Every time I turn round the corner Every time I look to the future I see All the times that I went wrong All the times that I could not see I tried so hard to move on I tried so hard to forget Every time I turn and you’re right there, right there And I’m right back, right back All of those years I cried so much Walking through quicksand, I was lagging behind And I don’t know if I will ever be free That voice has got its grip on me It’s like I never met you
3.
When you said it’s not a road That you would ever take How could you know that It’s not a choice you make It’s not your voice The words are raised Sounds drowning out You step away A knock on the door and the phone rings A sequence that changes everything You never thought you’d be looking back from here Draw a line and now it disappears It’s not your face Somethings not right You see it in their eyes they’re turning pale The recognition fades I slam doors And I wait for answers Refresh the screen Till I can’t see anything

Vessel 03:55
When I lie awake at night Blood running Try to turn away I’m a vessel I’m a disguise Streams and Waterways Put my fortunes in a pile Make them something I can climb on to Dreams so big They float in to the air And if I stop the clocks Would I feel good on the outside And if I turn back Would I throw it all away Inside these streams and waterways I try to call it back I’m face to face with you All my instincts Surfacing and moving from me I’m out at sea and I’m never coming back Pushed out of these streams and waterways

It's A Shame 02:57
Manchester to Ibiza Is sparking some confidence to say That it’s a shame And I hate the way A journey leads a path to a scheme And it’s a shame To quiet everything so soon So bring me some attention Knock my inhibitions Been climbing too readily I need some small piece of mind That we don’t all die In the smallest of ways Thousands of burning objects What would you save Your own self worth And what is it worth? They all preach, say the shocking thing Drop the curtain on the fabrication But listen I’m lost and I’m screaming Trying to be better Flailing forever Building for tomorrow Red with shame And it’s a shame To quiet everything so soon

Open A Hole 04:11
Split the rocks Spill the oil Drink it down quickly There’s no denying that you Are going crazy He is missing He is staring whole He’s suggesting childhood’s over And he’s not sleeping Open a hole and let it go The curtains are orange The sun continues to settle It’s like an open door But there’s no middle 6am is a club And we are staying And if you’re looking forward You are not part of it There is no ending Lying on the floor Gripping the edges Of an open door
7.
Spotlight 03:54
Highlight, searching for a Spotlight, a way to understand Come on and tell me what’s on your mind Headlines, a sinking feeling We try, to recognise the lies Come on and tell me what’s on your mind Structures, to hide Cover up We can keep on turning Structures, to hide A loss you can’t define Another star comes around A symptom of a failing Directions missing from this plan We never really had a chance We can’t hold back this flood These feelings that we’ve known so long We never even made a sound It all comes around
8.
Indecision over you Throwing petrol on the flames Everything backwards Collapsing inwards Holding myself in Memorising lines and going through the motions Floating in this void The light cracks through I’ll forget about you Low in relief Passing through I’ll forget about you Chasing myself in circles Round the corners of this place On first name terms With everyone in this space Pause and rewind in this space I’ll forget about you The ashes of our youth
9.
Chemistry 04:24
The lights are on Nobody’s home I’ll keep knocking on your door You went walking, looping round On your own path You’re on your own The chemistry, it clouds the mind It turns the screw, it electrifies Needles the frequency That I am so afraid of It makes you laugh And it makes me cry Will I ever get back this time The heavy air The bad taste that you can’t take away this time It’s not a choice you make On your own You are the moon You are the tide You are the place I go to hide This chemistry It is not me
