Forgetting Rescue
03:59
|
|||
|
I'll see you in a circle by the woods
I'm turning upside down to find love
we've never ever had it so good
so why are we having such a terrible time
truth is we're lost & found
in all the ripples we're drowned
what a lovely place to be
forgetting rescue
I've seen people in many situations
finding a way through the world
overcoming doubt & hesitations
holding you back, won't let you go
Truth is we're born alone
this fleeting life is ours to own
so throw yourself into the fray
forgetting rescue
Sometimes we ache, we lie awake
missing pages
we fold into a thousand shapes
undercover
You mean the world to me
& you can hold the memory
but can you grasp the reality
we are running through green fields
we're under no illusion
we're forgetting
I buried the old me in a dream last night
I laid me to rest in a bed lamp black
I said goodbye & drew a cartoon
but somebody stole it, I don't want it back
Truth is we'll never know the circumstances, how we grow
so take the road that brings you on.

Poison Arrows
04:33
|

|
It's not impossible or unsurmountable, just say it out loud
could be that you think it doesn't matter
if you keep your feelings locked away
darling, poison arrows will fade to dust
sometimes it's hard to trust
First we crawl, then we walk, then we run and then we fly
embracing all the new beginnings I'm calling to me every day
the grass is long in the meadow, I trace the contours where we lay
darling, say those arrows fade to dust – only time will tell for us
Something to say coloured by the night
just like a dance there's letting go and holding on
spirited away like fallen leaves
melt into the ground, we're just resting - we're resting
And I'll see you for you, you'll see me for me - what arrows?
Tiny shoots are breaking through, reaching up into the blue
I'll see you for you, you'll see me for me

A little sanctuary
a little sanctuary
a gentle touch, feeling warmth
could it be an antidote, an oasis
evoking pleasure, carry us away
I’m feeling nothing, I’m weightless like pollen
try and push me over, resistance like iron
you build me up, thirsty, hungry
nothing can touch this melody inside me
A little sanctuary
a little sanctuary
gentle words, feeling warmth
could it be an antidote, an oasis
diffusing pressure, melt away
I could forgive you, I could forgive myself
or tear a hole through the ether
we’re not immune, our shadows entwine
we’ll find the sun, breathless, breathless
could it be an antidote, an oasis
We’re not immune, our shadows entwine
we’ll find the sun, breathless, breathless.

Perpetual Baby
03:45
|
|||
|
I shone a light on you and now you're my perpetual baby
the change is quite surreal – I'm thrown, I'm thrown
I lost it in the womb before I had chance to breathe
I found my inner glow and then I had to leave
your secret's safe with me, I'll never tell a soul
we'll whisper in the dark and summon our release
we'll break the code, solve the mystery
I shone a light on you and now you're my perpetual baby
the change is quite surreal – we're thrown, we're thrown
into disarray. Elusive safety –
grains of sand sucked into waves
Are we falling? Or are we just lonely?
birds are calling out their morning songs
insensible of sorrow.

Riches Are Green
04:20
|
|||
|
Riches are green
the blackened pipes from the old organ
lie resting on the hill
dormant
we grew up here
though I’d forgotten myself
the landscape has changed
more than our deepest desires
we can be happy in our own skin
happy in our skin
we can be peaceful in our own beds
peaceful in our heads
we are the cows in fields, grazing
our life span is short
and our meat is sweet
we’ve fallen prey to foul play
what was holy is now our loss
we can be happy in our own skin
happy in our skin
we can be peaceful in our own beds
peaceful in our heads
riches are green
all that we need is a heartbeat like you
and what we feed the savage within
will make us chime or make us cold
Is it certain that I love you?
Can I watch you surrender?
Can you hear me?
Can I hear you?
Can you trust me?
Can I trust you?
Is it certain that I love you?
Can I reach you?
Can you sense me?
Can I breathe you in?
Riches are green
kissed by the sun
blessed by the rain

Fathoms
04:22
|
|||
|
In the water I belong, untraceable
forgotten fawn pegged out on the washing line
I need to take it down
injury circled around, never quite getting to the bottom of it
you tried to find me in your time machine
I couldn't meet your eye
Exposed in daylight emotion breaking the surface tension
no big theory on the outcome, no epiphany or revelation
a beautiful life waits for you, come up and see
In the water I am strong, I'm held, I can build my will
it's understood we're climbing liquid steps
we're mocking the laws of physics
Exposed in daylight emotion breaking the surface tension
no big theory on the outcome, no epiphany or revelation
a beautiful life waits for you, come up and see
Come up and see.

Conjure With Fire
04:09
|
|||
|
Nothing would happen, I could conjure with fire
Sunlit horizon perplexed by trees, abandoned ruins
Naked limbs twisted together, some broken, even more beautiful
I can conjure with fire, see sparrows in the afterglow
I died again today, there's no mystery surrounding the cell
No-one will love you more than you love yourself
So imagine love – ignite your potential
Before we descend into chaos, I'll hold your hand and see you
for who you truly are in dissonance enduring the weight of your scars
We can conjure with fire.

A Child's Rumour
04:35
|
|||
|
In the sky beyond power lines, hulking ash clouds
the old tree, a colossus, leans backwards as if to catch the stars
I'm susceptible to ancient springs, melodious landscape
I'm pregnant with the child I was, still exploring branches
underground, a portal, all comfort denied
underneath a table, hard labour – Will Usher relayed the crime
I'm susceptible to mysteries, just like my sister
I'm pregnant with the child I was, still exploring rumour
rumour, a child's rumour
until our lives reveal the mess
our flesh grows around the rumour
caught up in the vast terrain of unanswered questions
jumping over the rose bush, laughing in the pouring rain.

Cat Of The Heavens
03:48
|
|||
|
Since I was a bird I made a nest
I took my light from the stars lying in the snow
I drew my soul from the aquifer below
since I was a bird
All the garages are besieged by vines
ruthless Winter speaks to the worms with an icy tongue
The world and her moon are a theatre for you
so take a spider bite with good grace and spin in space
Cat of the heavens
strange harmony in the hearth light
a watcher in the woods - what are you thinking about?
Fold me into your little paws
I promise not to fly away
Open up, open up, open up
the doors of the sky
The world and her moon are a theatre for you
so take a spider bite with good grace and spin in space
Cat of the heavens
strange harmony in the hearth light
a watcher in the woods - what are you thinking about?
Fold me into your little paws
I promise not to fly away
