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

Choice You Make
03:07
|
|||
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

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

Vision of You
03:30
|
|||
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

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
