1. YEAR OF SILENCE
This is a post-reform
All the things you've known me for
This is a children's choir
Songs carried on in time
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
From a year of silence
From a year of silent thunder
This is a warning sign
There's a black stone silhouette against the sky
This old long lost shadow mass
This is the last turn at the end of the road
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
From a year of silence
From a year of silent thunder
2. BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT
Tonight I fell back on old habits again
The window lit up with a bright orange spark and a sigh
I peered outside and decided to miss your call again
Tonight's the kind of night I wish I could just be home
When all you see is the bright white light of the Seraphim
And all you see are serene fields of blue and green
And all you do is speak of things you've not clue about
When all I want to hear is your truth, nothing else
Tonight I fell back through a hole I though I'd just escaped
An ink spot on a blank piece of paper in the sun too long
I’m trying to write down the things I see before me
As the ink dries out I leave it for yet another day
When all you see is the bright white light of the Seraphim
And all you see are serene fields of blue and green
And all you do is speak of things, you've no clue about
When all I want to hear is your truth
When all I want to har is your truth
Nothing else
As the ink dries
As the ink dries
As you follow me around
As I follow you around
3. LEICESTER SQUARE GHOST
Petrified
Frozen in place, I was with you on the other side, out of mind
Half alive upon a mountainside in the middle of the night
I dissolve
I just can't get it right
We're strangers meeting in far off lands
Echoes of mine
I'm in a different time
Cold comforts calling me back home
Every night
And if I try to
Ditch everything to get away from you.
I think I might do
Break away from volatile overuse
And dissolve
Plain sight, daylight, towers on all sides
All-night bar fight, static satellites
Thousands of miles from home
Thousands of eyes see right through
Marble, water, reflections of sound
Heavy lies the head that wears you down
Thousands of miles from home
Thousands of eyes belong.
I found a certain peace in the dark corners of Leicester Square
There's a sense of relief when nobody knows your’re there
I found a certain peace thousands of miles from home
There's nothing holding you down when you find yourself alone
And if I try to
Ditch everything to get away from you
I think I might do
Break away from volatile overuse
And dissolve
4. FAST LOVE
At the bottom of a stair case, a faint hum
A reverberating melody, I play some
A dance we'd only dance when we'd stay home
In the dead of night
I only deal in sunk costs
I'm an interloper, fast love
I travel to the only place you've known
And make a mark
Make a mark
Make a mark
Summer stretches on for an age
Slow pulsing rhythms find their way onto the page
In the sun we're set, we're alive
The moonlight comes and then fades in time
I only deal in sunk costs
I'm an interloper, fast love
I travel to the only place you've known
And make a mark
Lighting my own way in the dark
Lighting my own way in the dark
Fingertips a luminescent red against black
Although we might never come back
It's more than enough
More than enough
I only deal in sunk costs
I'm an interloper, fast love
I travel to the only place you've known
And make a mark
Lighting my own way in the dark
Lighting my own way in the dark
5. LANDFALL
All things fall apart
Old things disintegrate
All the times I tore it apart
I took the pieces and built something new
I took the pieces and built something new
Old ships break apart
Rusted steel washed up on the shore
The hollow masts sway in the wind
I took the pieces and built something new
I took the pieces and built something new
I thought I always wanted
Thought I always wanted
Thought I always wanted
To be alone
I set off, out to sea
Off to face the winds on my own
You let me go so easily
I wasn't ready to do it all alone
I wasn't ready to do it all alone
I thought I only wanted
Thought I only wanted
Thought I only wanted
Solitude
I thought I only wanted
Thought I only wanted
Thought I only wanted
I took the pieces and built something new
I took the pieces and built something new
6. FINDER'S KEEP
“Where'd you run off to?”
You call out as you burst through another door
The keep is lit softly
Pages strewn across the floor
I've marked the entrance to the attic
With a bright white light
As you make the climb I watch from above
Out of sight
Maybe I'll follow you
To the other side
Back in time
Bricks upon bricks and walls upon walls
Maybe this time I'll take your call
I told you not to worry
Past my pride
Bricks upon bricks and walls upon walls
Maybe this time I'll take your call
You're laughing as you tumble down the hill
Down I watch you go
Maybe I'll follow you
To the other side
Back in time
Back in time
