Hands off head on
Your offers gone
Tame your apathy
Barriers can’t be shrunk
Hold off telling us that we’re wrong
Hold on
Moderate your heart beat
Temperate your nerves
Topping up the fuel
Before a mile becomes too long
Listen with intent
Where unity is gold
Poetry unites us
put it into words
Sunlight floods my room
From many different angles
We conclude our thoughts
From different walks of life
Taping up the box
To suffocate the inside
Our present is descendent
from our past
Drawing circles round your life
Until there’s no where left to turn
Watch from the window
A perforated view from your telescope
Feed the scraps of what is left to the birds

Sandbanks
I forgot to stamp your postcard
Missed you off my will
Built our castle on a sand bank
I’ve mixed up our pills
Mistook the salt for sugar
Race with two left feet
Keys locked on the dashboard
The glue’s already hard
Weighed down
Pocket full of lead when we were dancing
Days coming to an end
Coming to an end
lets talk about it
I sow seeds to
Soften words I speak
Pawned my raincoat
Nothing fixed the leak
I missed your birthday
Shot the double rum
Overflowed the bathtub
Burnt it in the sun
Mistook your cry for laughter
I threw away your ring
Set fire to the postbox
I’ve given everything

Understand Each Other
03:04
|

We can’t
Understand each other
We can’t
Understand each other
We sow our connections with language
Skipping stitches, blanking knots
Insert, seep
And wipe away the fuss
It turns into scars
We sow our connections with language
Skipping stitches, blanking knots
Insert, seep
And wipe away the fuss
It turns into scars
We can’t
Understand each other
We can’t
Understand each other

Treat Us Like You Should
03:56
|

We wasted money
Making paper aeroplanes
Landed in the river
We’re flying nowhere so walk away from this
Its all spent
I can’t see redemption at the end
Put it off until late afternoon
When we’ve lost our breath
Its’s done
When the last hour has gone
Holding on for too long
Just put a smile on
Treat us like you should
We wasted time
Plucking petals from a flower
Lost it in the breeze
We’re going nowhere, until we cleanse our my minds of this
Its all spent
I can see the diamond on your ring
Sick to my core
Indulgent thoughts of what you could have had
Its’s done
When the last hour has gone
Holding on for too long
Just put a smile on
Washed up in spring tide
Cars come from the right
Crossing with closed eyes
Fun, crushing fruit flies
Brush shoulders with a neighbour
Pretend you didn’t see her
Bin it when the leaves drop
Car ride to the corner-shop
Our lives are in your hands
So rest assured I’m yours
Your plasticine figurines,
Ranked and endorsed
Tugging at your sleeve
You cut the parachute
A spike in our morphine
No time back in lieu
So treat us as you should

Little Brother

Sleep little brother, know I’ll keep you safe
Hush now brother, don’t mistake your place
Sleep at night
Call me telltale, infiltrate your home
Sleep little brother, know I’ll keep you safe
Hush now brother, don’t mistake your place
Sleep at night
Preach sweet heaven
Preach sweet heaven
Preach sweet heaven
Promise you the world
Sleep little brother, know I’ll keep you safe
Hush now brother, don’t mistake your place
Sleep little brother, know I’ll keep you safe
Hush now brother, don’t mistake your place
Sleep little brother, know I’ll keep you safe
Sleep at night

Solitary Life
03:48
|
|||
One and all
Heaven knows I’m done
But I can’t turn my back on you all
Its gone on for far too long
We feel our best, when we’re left alone
Every time I breathe you squeeze my chest
If I try to clean I just make a mess
Solitary life
Outside of the species that you’re like
Tame steps
Scouting supple earth
Long time to be standing by your word
Tease my resilience
And I’m dissolving just for fun
And I withdraw on my own terms
Until I’m bored enough to grow
Every time I breathe you squeeze my chest
If I try to clean I just make a mess
If I shared my life would you want to know
I helped you pack your bags and I watched you go
Solitary life
Outside of the species that you’re like
Tame steps
Scouting supple earth
Long time to be standing by your word

We Don't Talk
04:20
|
|||
Sold for less
Than what it’s worth to you
Rise and hold form
The best is yet to come
I feel like it
I feel like it
I feel like it
Keeping your wings dry
Keys on standby
Masquerade and underplayed, we’re stuck
If we don’t even talk, how can it work
One chance to get ahead of the back foot
I trickle slow and thin we’re gasping
Walking on a knife’s edge
Tripping on a back foot
Don’t hold on
I’m settling my half
Don’t hold on
I’ve taken it to heart
Keeping your wings dry
Keys on standby
Masquerade and underplayed, we’re stuck
If we don’t even talk, how can it work

Said and Done

Solidarity
Make your luck
Chant hypocrisy
Cough up
After all is said and done
After all is said and done
Layman’s words you use to cut us
Don’t let Lehman Brothers shape us
Don’t think you’ll stop me
After all is said and done
After all is said and done
Layman’s words you use to cut us
Don’t let Lehman Brothers shape us
Solidarity
Make your luck
Don’t think you’ll stop me
Chant hypocrisy
Cough up
Don’t think you’ll stop me child
After all is said and done
Don’t think you’ll stop me
After all is said and done
Don’t think you’ll stop me child

Back Home
03:28
|
|||
Try next door
I’m eager that I find something more inside me
Step into the warmth
Your frozen from the last time you tried to make it work
You’re fighting on your own
I can’t tell them apart,
Promise, hand on heart
I would take it back
I didn’t know its worth
Retrace my tracks
Way back home
Find your seat
We’re tired of hearing the same old lies loop on repeat
Step out of the storm
I’m here for you, wishing that you’d let me in
Don’t fight this on your own
I can’t tell them apart,
Promise, hand on heart
I would take it back
I didn’t know its worth
Retrace my tracks
Way back home

Magpie Took Our Name
03:15
|
|||
Sugar Rush and boredom on a backseat
Making ballet plimsoles out of tape
Trouble making carnage on a rampage
Subtle as a cloud strong as a wave
You told how to stand and tuck my shirt in
Three peas in a pod we shared a name
No room left on my shelf though its empty
It was not a place that I could stay
Somehow we all live in different cities
This escalators going the wrong way
We can’t even find time for a phone call
A Magpie broke our pod and ate our name
