Everything is Broken Now 04:22
lyrics

Everything is Broken Now to get a second chance You have to fall and fail the first If you try to lead the dance Feel the hunger and the thirst Everything is broken now Nothing seems to work Watch the world turn round And nothing seems to work If you wanna talk to the man Join the queue then just wait He’s the one with their plan Different plane a different state Everything is broken now Nothing seems to work Watch the world turn round And nothing seems to work Why does it feel so hard Treacle steps all uphill Why did we not play our card Fooled by them, foolish still Everything is broken now Nothing seems to work Watch the world turn round And nothing seems to work

What Say You? 03:36
lyrics

What Say You? What say you? Let’s go for a walk Hand in hand through streets of christmas Taking time to talk What say you? Let’s Have a bite to eat Tongue in cheek, accent’s bad Talk is never cheap And if this road should never end It’s a thousand miles too soon And if this road takes every bend its a thousand miles too soon What say you?, can you feel the years pages turn, new stories told Our Sentence lived What say you?, can you find the time Not for me, not for we this time for you And if this road should never end It’s a thousand miles too soon And if this road takes every bend its a thousand miles too soon What say you? Always there for me Hand on hand, touches merge Two lives entwined What say you? Let’s go for a stroll Muddy paths, sunny skies Let’s enjoy it all And if this road should never end It’s a thousand miles too soon And if this road takes every bend its a thousand miles too soon

She Laid Me to Rust 04:05
lyrics

She Finally Laid me to Rust I was lying there In fine mettle Beside the ox side Grasping the nettle She finally laid me to rust Found the real love hidden in lust She finally laid me to rust We Found the truth that we can trust I’m ironed out No more creases Hanging on the line My mind in pieces Middle8 If I could do it all again I’d do it all with you If I had to eat my words I’d eat them all with you Every thing Every day Wistful wants but happy haves She finally laid me to rust Found the real love hidden in lust She finally laid me to rust We Found the truth that we can trust I was dreaming there eyes not closed Dreaming the dreams we share stances unpreposed She finally laid me to rust Found the real love hidden in lust She finally laid me to rust We Found the truth that we can trust Life is life and lived as it is x4

Storm is Coming 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Storm is Coming it starts when we’re asleep the sound of distant thunder Rolling on the wind Devastating wonder Help us now the growing storm is coming Helping hands and arms lighting strikes are striking The pictures show the crimes the pillage and plunder If only the cries and roars Were just the thunder Help us now the growing storm is coming Helping hands and arms lighting strikes are striking Chant: A call to arms And alms for the dead A room that’s spare An empty room and a bed It starts when we’re asleep But it doesn’t feel like dreaming The soldier’s breaths are loud I don’t think they’re sleeping Help us nowthrough the storm that’s coming Thunderous roars and lightning flares

My Beacon 02:42
lyrics

My Beacon These are roads I’ve walked along Many steps felt so wrong /or/ Shaven heads and banging gongs If this is where I am from I’m not sure I belong I try to feel that it is my home but there’s this big door i have to find a different stance Where standing still is still a dance If this is where I once lived Once it seemed to be so big This may be where I’ve been Among the places I have seen I try to feel that it is my home but there’s this big door i have to find a different stance Where standing still is still a dance This is where I would be If my choices could be free This is what I’d want A different hand, a different font A beacon shining brighter in the sun This is where I would be If my choices could be free

Hesitation Wounds 02:48
lyrics
buy track
Hesitation Wounds When we hesitate We find that it will bound It wounds us we have found If we wait When we deviate It feels like they have turned It means we get get burned If we wait When we contemplate It screams there’s no second thoughts It feels like we both ought We must wait When we complicate It feels like there’s no end It feels like it can’t bend If we wait

and another thing 03:47
lyrics
buy track
and another thing I tried to read our ending Right there at the start But I could not find that page It seems we haven’t written it yet Like a pencil without a sharpener without you I hardly see the point Searching for my own heaven Before it all just goes to hell Instr We blink and a year just goes Add some smiles and watch a decade pass good mornings and some goodnights love and live this life we’ve made Decline and fail Begone the pale Flush the flowers And the sweet just soured fright or fight Lift wing or right Rush the seats And the scared are cowered And another thing……
