Last Chance to See
03:54

|

The sun is here and it's here to stay
How can we fight when all we've got is hell to pay?
You're a blushing bride but the end's in sight
One hundred thousand strong, three long years rolling on
'god help us' till then
The sun is up again, so we feed and sell away
All our sickles and dot displays, temporary thoughts to blame, we're sick again
Like statues painting, sweating stories again
Heatwave, again
Look at the sight of you, running in spite of it
God please- fuck it, we're hopeless!
I'm only
We're only
I'm only
As the wind sweeps through us
As the wind sweeps through us
Last chance to see
And if you see what everybody sees
We'll be singing and sighing
Falling and fighting all the same
I'm only
We're only
As the wind sweeps through us
As the wind sweeps through us
Last chance to see
Last chance to see

Rain
and a heavy heart
Flowing over my head
Floating over
My love
Wrapped in water
My love
You and me
[Fearthainn]
Ground and tree
[Báisteach]
Hold softly and stay
Rain
and a heavy heart
Floating above my head
Floating above
Inter-omniversal
Wrapped in
You
[Fearthainn]
Follow me
[Báisteach]
And talk softly

City
03:57
|
|
||
In stone
On the throne of all
Ancient rulers overthrown
You told a lie and told it loud
Told it proud
And through a crowded sale
A shroud, a veil
Half-truth on your suit
A badge, a truce
For things to change
And stay the same
The fight in its sight
The stones breathe life
And speak
You told a lie and told it loud
Told it proud
And through the smoke inhaled
The crowd, the veil
Without a name
Nobody left to blame
A city unchained
Without shame
Nobody left to name
A city unchanged

Eyes to the Sun
03:20
|
|

See my
Mind's eye
Be mine
Eyes to the sun
Right from the start
Time laying out
You and my heart
Eyes to the sun
I feel the same
It's not going to change
Why we hurt
Hear me
See me
My eyes are open
To burn through the sun
But it feels the same
It's not going to change
We all will change
We are children
To eternity
Eternity
What are you saying?
In all of the chaos
You are at the centre
The only piece of order
The only part that's not a mess
The only piece of order
I feel the same
It's not going to change
Why we hurt
Eyes to the sun

Taking water from the tree
Draining blood on evergreen
We're painting circles in the dust
As we hurt
See what you want to see
Be what you want to be
See what you want to see
Be wherever you want to be
See what you want to see
Be what you want to be
Leave if you want to leave
See who you want to see
You walk until you talk
And you talk until you hurt
We're carving patterns in the rust
As we hurt
And we hurt
God I hurt
See what you want to see
Be what you want to be
See what you want to see
Be wherever you want to be
See what you want to see
Be what you want to be
Leave if you want to leave
See what you want to see
I can't see
I never saw until the fall
We never fought until the war
Hindsight's 20/20
You walk until you talk
And you talk until you hurt
And everything you say
Would be void on a contract
Just please let me stay here

Hyperspace

Lily-white pictures of love
Shining on
Shining on
Little pictures of love
Shining on
Shining on
It's enough
What little knowledge is keeping face
Keeping place and keeping time
It's enough
Shine on, shine on
Shine on today
Strong minds won't fold and regret
Lily-white pictures of love
Shining on
Shining on
Painting circles in hyperspace
Holding place and waiting
Until I am - until I'm ready
To climb on, climb on
Shine on today
I'm not blind
I am fine
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget

Cannonball
02:16
|
|
||
Alone in a garden
Sinking a seed
I'd do almost anything
Dark on the corner
and desperate to please
Slipping off the wall
Alone in a garden
Slipping into panic
Insult to injury
Into panic
All eyes on the ceiling
and dust on the floor
We're drinking a cannonball
Asleep in a garden
Arrested, asleep
Waiting for air
Asleep in a garden
Slipping into panic
Insult to injury
Into panic
Slipping off the wall
Into panic
Insult to injury
Into panic

Buffalo
02:11
|
|

Symphonies of change
like butterflies swarm
We've never seen anything
but life as we know it
Sing a crown upon our heads
and pray our children might return
It's like buffaloes caught the blame
Note their continuing absence
Crown, hall and king gone insane
but wheels keep turning
Sing a crown upon your heads
We know our fear, ours to burn
Walls of stone and halls of chrome
We make our children
Symphonies of change
like a buffalo swarm
We've never seen anything
but life as we know it
Sing a crown upon our heads
We know our fear, ours to burn
Build our home and wait no more
We are our children

Disaster
03:50
|
|
||
We are all waiting for you now
We are waiting
While you're putting your shoes on
Before 'disaster'
We fall
With all our luck, we fall deeper again
And rise
Hereafter

I've seen all I can see
All the distractions
Passions and loose ends
till I'm back in fashion
I'd know
I'd know if you'd confide in me
Confide in me
So I, I-
An eye for an eye
The whole world is blind
And I can't fly
You've seen every fight
every blight on an otherwise perfect melody
Every little bite I take from everyone
And I'd know it
I'd know if you'd confide in me
Confide in me
So an eye- an eye for an eye
The whole world is blind
And I can't fly anymore
The whole world is blind
And I- I can't fly anymore
And I can't hide
No, I-
No, I-
And, I...

The lights of the highway
Form solid rock and tree soil
These flickering lines, free-form
Wander home
Everyone is out of sight
And taxis rule the streets tonight
All of these flickered lights
Lead us home
You don't know what you're doing
No you don't know what you're doing
No one knows what they're doing
Tonight
Tonight
Softly through the streets paved with
Electric lines, through our eyes
Every sparking motorcade
Will set us through
You don't know what you're doing
No you don't know what you're doing
No one knows what they're doing
Tonight
In street light
Tonight

Morningbird
04:24
|
|

So the morningbird wakes beneath my feet, beneath my wings
Light holds its tongue
Not too long till we're open
Till we're open
Waking shoulders reach and sigh a new waking world
I fell on a mountain range, a cushioned weight
I am home
Light holds its breath over a fabricated sleep
Not so long since it started
Waking arms fall on arms, we are breathing as one
Until it's time to begin again
Now it's time to begin
Words fall on words but I'm ready to begin again
Until it's time to begin again
Now I'm ready to begin
Words fall on words but I'm ready to begin again
To begin again
I am home.
