The Lynching Tree
02:39
|
|||
Go to sleep half eaten discarded apple
Watch Snow White for the millionth time
Black and white, technicolour, 1937
Cyanide, sweetened tongues, 1937
Cold shoulders of love
Kings and papers burn
Life is footsteps in the fog
Or picnics around the lynching tree
The birth of the modern age where no one talks
Language is dead evolving to grow thumbs
Black and white, technicolour, 1937
Cyanide, sweetened tongues, 1937
Cold shoulders of love
Kings and papers burn
Life is footsteps in the fog
Or picnics around the lynching tree
Cold shoulders of love
Kings and papers burn
Life is footsteps in the fog
Or picnics around the lynching tree
A hero of villain
So clever and disgusting
A builder or a wrecking ball
Are we innocent or are we guilty?

Insignificant
04:29
|
|||
There's no crooked lines
Everything is ruler straight
Uniformed and sterile
Modern in traditional ways
Reduced to polite questions
So open but it broke your heart
Architecture can bring love
Twenty-six years to heaven
Dragging hidden things into the naked light
Going God knows where, how, when or why
Where no rivers flow everything has its place
Beauty can never fail
So young and so out of date
Like movies we stop, rewind, repeat
We are pray for a quick release
We're insignificant
Like ponies tied to trees
We're not going anywhere
Weakest in the dawn I see
Lose these seven wars within
Dragging hidden things into the naked light
Going God knows where, how, when or why
Where no rivers flow everything has its place
Beauty can never fail
So young and so out of date
Like movies we stop, rewind, repeat
We are pray for a quick release
We're insignificant
Where no rivers flow everything has its place
Beauty can never fail
So young and so out of date
Like movies we stop, rewind, repeat
We are pray for a quick release
We're insignificant

No Apologies
04:31
|
|||
Lies flow so softly
Only time will tell
Shut out so quickly
Spend the time thinking nothings gonna happen to you
No apologies can end the heartbreak
Why do we do it to ourselves?
I never meant to even hurt you
But I fell under your spell
It's harder to hold on
Why can't we mend over time?
We were never meant to be together
Hearts break so easy
Will they heal eventually?
Broken up I'm sorry
I spend my time thinking when's it gonna happen to me
No apologies can end the heartbreak
Why do we do it to ourselves?
I never meant to even hurt you
But I fell under your spell
It's harder to hold on
Why can't we mend over time?
We were never meant to be together
No apologies can end the heartbreak
Why do we do it to ourselves?
I never meant to even hurt you
But I fell under your spell
It's harder to hold on
Why can't we mend over time?
We were never meant to be together

I Wish It Was Me
03:36
|
|||
It's an assumption you're the same as me
I feel like I'm missing a page in the book
There's always a cloud above my head
I wish it was me
Pick a space and build towards the sun
Pick a face the one you really want
Fall into bed and stare straight ahead
I wish it was me
She hides away inside a moan
All my senses are insensitive
My tyre treads are getting low
In the summertime I can't follow
It's an assumption you're the same as me
I feel like I'm missing a page in the book
There's always a cloud above my head
I wish it was me
She hides away inside a moan
All my senses are insensitive
My tyre treads are getting low
In the summertime I can't follow
She hides away inside a moan
All my senses are insensitive
My tyre treads are getting low
In the summertime I can't follow
Desensitised by all you see
Love is not what you even feel
Walking on water I can't follow
I was left waiting, I was left screaming

Anniversary
04:20
|
|||
It becomes black and white
As we all drift into the night
Memories are black and white
The future isn't bright
Drop like leaves from a tree
Eyes welling with a thousand tears
We believe it must be
There's nothing here but me
This will all end someday
Like a photograph we're fading away
Constantly hurting us
Like our surroundings we're turning to dust
My anniversary
It becomes black and white
As we all drift into the night
Memories are black and white
The future isn't bright
Drop like leaves from a tree
Eyes welling with a thousand tears
We believe it must be
There's nothing here but me
This will all end someday
Like a photograph we're fading away
Constantly hurting us
Like our surroundings we're turning to dust
My anniversary
My anniversary to no one else
My anniversary
My anniversary to no one else
This will all end someday
Like a photograph we're fading away
Constantly hurting us
Like our surroundings we're turning to dust
My anniversary
My anniversary to no one else
My anniversary
My anniversary to no one else

Maybe After All
05:02
|
|||
Too weak to wipe the sleep away from your eyes
Even false teeth can barricade
From toddler to middle age
Elastic skin so loose and grey
The chance of chance slipping away
Sip at the bottle as the skies cave
Be the cold and be the winter
Be the shame and be the sinner
Maybe after all it means little
Feel the hope and feel the failure
Be the cold and be the winter
Be the shame and be the sinner
Maybe after all it means little
As hard as I squint I see
My loves become a twenty storey leap
From toddler to middle age
Elastic skin so loose and grey
The chance of chance slipping away
Sip at the bottle as the skies cave
Be the cold and be the winter
Be the shame and be the sinner
Maybe after all it means little
Feel the hope and feel the failure
Be the cold and be the winter
Be the shame and be the sinner
Maybe after all it means little
Be the cold and be the winter
Be the shame and be the sinner
Maybe after all it means little
Feel the hope and feel the failure
Be the cold and be the winter
Be the shame and be the sinner
Maybe after all it means little

Learn to Love
03:14
|
|||
I snap my fingernails clawing at some sanity
I see myself naked and I'm pointing and laughing at me
Oh all this madness is consuming me
Oh all this madness
I stop and watch the sun die
Wipe a tear from my eye
You squeeze my hand so tight
Whispers learn to love what you don't like
A gentle introduction to a fear I've always known
A brief interlude, who will stay awake with me?
Oh all this madness is consuming me
Oh all this madness
I stop and watch the sun die
Wipe a tear from my eye
You squeeze my hand so tight
Whispers learn to love what you don't like
I stop and watch the sun die
Wipe a tear from my eye
You squeeze my hand so tight
Whispers learn to love what you don't like
I stop and watch the sun die
Wipe a tear from my eye
You squeeze my hand so tight
Whispers learn to love what you don't like

What Molly Said
03:34
|
|||
Molly says she's always right
Molly says things that make me laugh for days
Yeah Molly said
She's the smile that lights up the place
She's the voice that takes charge of every room
Yeah Molly said
Oh she is always dancing
Hair wild and volume turned up loud
I just can't forget what Molly said
She's so crazy and she acts insane
She's the sun that shines on the blackest day
Yeah Molly said
Molly makes up things that make no sense
But I wouldn't change her for all the worlds gold
Yeah Molly said
Oh she is always dancing
Hair wild and volume turned up loud
I just can't forget what Molly said
And she is always laughing
Temper flared and hands clenched into fists
I just can't forget what Molly said
Oh she is always dancing
Hair wild and volume turned up loud
I just can't forget what Molly said
And she is always laughing
Temper flared and hands clenched into fists
I just can't forget what Molly said

Making Me a Headache
03:50
|
|||
I'm awake but my thoughts are somewhere else
I can see but I feel as if you're blind
To the hopes and the fears within my mind
You just shrug and say we are doing fine
I see the madness coming from a mile
I could beg but I'm going out in style
I turn back but I don't turn away
I just nod to myself and say it's okay
You turn away eternally
What can I say?
You make me beg
You find the will to take it all
And give it back and you find yourself
Making me a headache
You're making me a headache
I'm here but my mind is some place else
I'm sure you can see it for yourself
My blood pumps but my heart is beating slow
I'm here but my feet are ready to go
You turn away eternally
What can I say?
You make me beg
You find the will to take it all
And give it back and you find yourself
You turn away, what can I say?
And you find yourself
Making me a headache
You're making me a headache
Making me a headache
You're making me a headache

Jealous Sometimes
03:54
|
|||
We fear the dead but still burn the living
I feel the shade and shadows are watching
Fit to a frame, nail it to a stone
Give it a name, buy it a star
I get so jealous sometimes of your need for nothing
I test myself sometimes and I fail myself equally
My eyes are darkened by the things I have seen
My hearts no stronger from the places I have been
Fit to a frame, nail it to a stone
Give it a name, buy it a star
I get so jealous sometimes of your need for nothing
I test myself sometimes and I fail myself equally
Kissing the dice and they fall against me
And side by side we all fail to even see
I get so jealous sometimes of your need for nothing
I test myself sometimes and I fail myself equally
I turn my head, it all crumbles around me
I cut off my ears, I still hear my own screams

Invisible Scars
03:26
|
|||
He cut off her lips because she smiled at other men
Its what we do when our love fails on nights like these
Tonight I weep because there's sadness in the air again
A lonesome dog, ribs on display, all barks will fail
Don't leave a trace of evidence
That you were anywhere except your head
And love will fail on nights like these
He cut off her lips because she smiled at other men
Its what we do when our love fails on nights like these
Tonight I weep because there's sadness in the air again
A lonesome dog, ribs on display, all barks will fail
Don't leave a trace of evidence
That you were anywhere except your head
And love will fail on nights like these
Don't leave a trace of evidence
That you were anywhere except your head
And love will fail on nights like these
Invisible scars cover me
I want to scream but can't make a sound
Invisible scars that cut deep

Unfaithful
03:23
|
|||
Smear lipstick on your lips
Watch the sunrise after the eclipse
Pass it around like all your joy
Sing Bethlehem then sigh
So God where you been?
My knees are bruised can't you see?
It's not your fault
It's your hour of need
And what would I give for you to comfort me
I'm so tired of being lonely
Form a queue for free relief
My name spread like some disease
Pass it around like some bad dream
Accuse me of things I've never seen
So God where you been?
My knees are bruised can't you see?
It's not your fault
It's your hour of need
And what would I give for you to comfort me
I'm so tired of being lonely
So God where you been?
My knees are bruised can't you see?
It's not your fault
It's your hour of need
And what would I give for you to comfort me
I'm so tired of being lonely
