Deep Sea Fishes
05:29
|
|||
Loneliness is living
When you're swimming in the gloom,
Everywhere is silent,
Nothing is ever new.
An underwater comet,
I fly so gracelessly,
Open my eyes for a moment,
Just to check I still can't see
We are deep sea fishes
Beautiful to nobody,
We are navigating nowhere
Blindly through infinity
A single point of glowing,
A beacon in the dark,
The signal of the hunter,
I carry the same mark.
The distant shape is growing,
A ghostly yellow light,
O, water slowly flowing,
Take me to my love tonight
We are deep sea fishes
Beautiful to nobody,
We are navigating nowhere
Blindly through infinity
I hide myself from vision,
My strange and twisted form,
You see your own reflection,
I see myself in yours.
A fluttering of thermals
Holds us warm and close,
The things that seem eternal
are the things that change the most.
We are deep sea fishes
Beautiful to only to we,
We are navigating nowhere
Together through infinity

Cocoon
04:08
|
|||
Wrap up her limbs so she can lie
Spinning silk around her
Watch her inhaling fireflies
Illuminate her from inside
Got to
Cocoon her
Construct
A new womb for her
But will I
Teach her my fears
If I try
To protect her
Unfurl her wings so they can dry
Open to the sun
I cannot bear to watch her fly
Reduce my singing to a sigh
Got to
Cocoon her
Construct
A new womb for her
But will I
Teach her my fears
If I try
To protect her

Dream Factories
04:52
|
|||
Don't wanna be nobody's idol,
Don't got no X-factor inside me,
Don't wanna be another wannabe,
Or a production line facsimile,
I see a single feather floating on a river, floating out to the sea
They make our dreams in factories,
So we don't aspire to what we can't achieve,
So take your fire and take your belief,
And burn, burn, burn, burn,
Burn the factories down
I live in a house built for a seamstress,
I house with half a million Siamese twins,
But now the seamstress lives in India,
She makes us Che Guevara shirts to wear,
She is a single feather floating on a river, floating out to the sea
They make our dreams in factories,
So we don't aspire to what we can't achieve,
So take your fire and take your belief,
And burn, burn, burn, burn,
Burn the factories down

Tempest
04:35
|
|||
Bruised but forgiven,
You talk like the world is against you,
You're pulling yourself to pieces,
But I'm never getting over you
Oh, give it some thought before you fall
Oh, think of yourself before you fall
I was fading out, like a whisper in the wind,
Wishing I was someone else, somewhere new,
Sailing away with you
I won't turn away
As you sail away from the shore
I'm a castaway
I was dead and buried long before
Oh, give it some thought before you fall
Oh, think of yourself before you fall
I won't turn away
As you sail away from the shore
I'm a castaway
I was dead and buried long before

Universal Biology
06:52
|
|||
I am a forest of buildings,
I am a river of glass,
I'm the impossible future
In a dream from the past,
You are a dancing tornado
Taking back what I stole,
You are a migrating species
Rushing into my soul.
This sound is a wave of particles vibrating,
Universal biology,
In unison we breathe it in,
Universal biology,
This idea was the rhythm of a string resonating,
Universal biology,
In unison we breathe it in,
Universal biology
You are the the unchanging season
Captured frozen in clay,
I am a fossil of reason
Rising cloudy and grey,
You are gravity reeling
All my books off the shelf,
I am the universe feeling,
Experiencing itself.
This sound is a wave of particles vibrating,
Universal biology,
In unison we breathe it in,
Universal biology,
This idea was the rhythm of a string resonating,
Universal biology,
In unison we breathe it in,
Universal biology
I am the fleeting expression
Of the faintest idea,
I am a flickering shadow,
I am only just here,
You are time everlasting,
You are physical law,
We are deities clashing
In a frivolous war

Song For A Rainy Day
03:30
|
|||
The rain falls harder than before you came,
The rain falls harder now you've gone away
I never knew you well, but I knew you more than most,
You haunted my dreams like a lingering ghost,
I wait to see you still walking down dark corridors
The rain falls harder than before you came,
The rain falls harder now you've gone away
We had it in our hands, but we couldn't hold on,
For I had seen you there, but when I turned you had gone,
And all of everything was not enough for you
The rain falls harder than before you came,
The rain falls harder now you've gone away
I bent my ears to hear all the stories that you told,
You promised me beneath your sheets we'd never grow old,
But like all empty words, you simply slipped away
The rain falls harder than before you came,
The rain falls harder now you've gone away
All the things that you said were just lies in your bed,
There are no monsters underneath cos they were all in your head,
And the more that you take the less you get to keep

Butterfly Hurricane
05:29
|
|||
Butterfly amplified
into a hurricane
And again it lifts me off my feet and blows my mind
Follow the human herd
against a spinning world
Until it turns so fast they're walking past themselves
Don't beat your wings in my direction
A victim of unnatural selection
That could be me
Floating down
Stand atop mountain high
Shouting out "Why do I
Have nothing at all to say, I crawl from day to day"
Sticks and stones may bust up your bones
But silence never leaves you alone
And when I jump I'll be
Floating down
Kisses blown overflow
into a hurricane
And again it lifts me off my feet and blows my mind
Don't beat your wings in my direction
A victim of unnatural selection
That could be me
Floating down

Swallow You Whole
06:14
|

Will you be long
Complete me fill me up I'm hollow,
I meet myself and we follow
our feet to where we can swallow
you whole.
Will you be long
to me

Oh woman, hush hush hush,
Let this moment stabilise,
Oh woman, hush hush hush
No need to rush rush rush,
Feel our orbits synchronise,
Oh woman, hush hush hush
You're reaching into me,
A direct link to my insides,
You're reaching in to me
Don't mean a thing to me,
I keep telling myself lies,
Don't mean a thing to me
And I will stretch this second
Until the sun destroys the earth,
I will extend expectance
Until expansion is reversed,
I'll take our dust and ashes
Until a cloud of us is formed,
And I will zoom into it
Until a galaxy is born.
I see you blush blush blush,
As the blood begins to rise,
I see you blush blush blush
I feel the crush crush crush,
You drag me down towards the sky,
I feel the crush crush crush
And you are all I hear,
The air is rushing as I burn
up in your atmosphere,
I plunge into the sea,
My life is flashing past my eyes
And you are all I see
And I will stretch this second
Until the sun destroys the earth,
I will extend expectance
Until expansion is reversed,
I'll take our dust and ashes
Until a cloud of us is formed,
And I will zoom into it
Until a galaxy is born
