Lyrics

Static

Got up late, time was hiding
Broken days and spiral skylines
Stood in line to hear the dying
Beyond the cars like amplifiers

You’ve got the light in your mirror
I’ve got the darkness in mine
When you’ve lost it all it’s never nearer
Static scrapes the chords of better times

You were a boy but now you’ve grown
To see the light for what it’s shown
Walking home your jacket swallowed
Your heart and every single fire that you followed

Oh, the white noise brings you back
While your dreams are feeding back
It’s hard to know when you’re losing track
You lose the movement when you’re falling fast

Beggars

Blue sky still re-arrange you
Mountain explosion run through
Forget the wake and shallows
Notes in the shoes of gallows

Beggars have written to me
About all the ceaseless beauty
Echoes still nest beside us
Whispering years of guidance

Savage the deepest country
Memory comes swift and sundry
Concrete with ragweed living
Airmail all your misgivings

All victims still were reeling
And the starlets had got so old
Frozen silent still believing
I step outside and burn the road

Paincoaster

Moving through the towers
That have watched you for so long
Pain is what you ask for
Then they’ll bury you with song
There’s time to make the ages count
Take just what you need
And never becomes the holding bar
You cling to while you scream

Follow these trails
Wander in a winter
Brave the rain and hail
Time won’t be delivered

In rhythm people shouted
To the strains of our real lives
Backwards into static
White noise carried high
Movement in the stillest place
That you had left for dead
Close your eyes and bring it back
To where I fear to tread

Iron Trees

Turned away but I can still taste you on my lips
Start your day with what you can’t believe you’re feeling
Won’t somebody stop me
I’m throwing TV’s out the window
Put inside the burning fires
I rally from the grave

Forget it now, you’re always wrong
Paint it blind
You can’t help but lose your mind

Dip my feet into the river while I can
Walk with grass below and statues in the sand
And drowning seems impossible until you swim alone
Summoned from the secret depths
We carve our names in stone

Steal me, steal me,
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Cadence

So sweet this lingering in haze
Breathe out and step out from a daze
Cut corners, the message was relayed
See the borders and count up what remains

You will always awake for me in time
Catching up and breaking down the rhythm

We rest in corners of the rain
You draw me back into the flame
Sometimes becomes its own refrain
Fix your shoes dear, and count up what remains

We were breaking down in rhythm…
We were breaking down in rhythm…
We were breaking down in rhythm…
We were breaking down in rhythm…

Effortless

5 AM, you feel blind
Your lies are passing through mine
Your backyard gardens are in decay
You stumble through them and fade away
And you fade away

And far below they tear at you and unfold
They take what they can steal from you and they fall

It’s all so effortless
Killing time
Love can rest
And you can never give enough

Your tortured brothers flee their cage
And mind the daylight it doesn’t stay
You echo through me with hollow sound
And hide the weakness you have found
You have found

And when they drain the blood from me completely
I’ll drown inside a ruined lake repeating

Stop waiting for me
The trees will grow on
I alone am empty
All your days are long
And I am gone

It’s all so effortless
Killing time
Love can rest
And you can never be enough

The broken pavement seems
To swallow all and steal your dreams
And you can never be enough

Dark Blues

The sky is a naked eye
The sky is a naked eye
The trees and the stones play tricks with the night
The sky is a naked eye

You roll and you tumble down
You roll and you tumble down
Insects and animals tear up the ground
You roll and you tumble down

Can you steal me an ocean
To drown my wicked sin?
Cause your hands will always quiver
When you’re twisting that blade in

The mountains have seen the past
The mountains have seen the past
You slip down the stairwell and sharpen your axe
The mountains have seen the past

Tristan

I can’t hear what’s coming
Feel the tremors down below
They’ll be hanging flowers
Where innocence won’t grow

We don’t run for nothing
Raise up your head from falling
Keep your ears to the ground
Rescue yourself from the sound

Life has come to show me
All the things I could not be
Count your weary glances
Spin your second chances

The day is clear and black as the abyss
I was here and then I’m gone, there’s no sense in this
Never had the time to name up all the things I’ll miss
And they’ll be piling bottles to store up all that drifts

Equinox

All I need is something
To take my head away
This train bears down faster
Whatever fare you pay

But we had nothing left to give
Stayed indoors and gave away the summer
No-one holds a knife to this
We kept it all and gave away the summer

Traveled to the wasteland
To bring our hero home
Nobody was strong enough
To carry on back their own

Arrow

Let’s go through together
And we’ll pretend we never
Had a place to lose our own in all the world
When leaves still shine like diamonds
We slip away inside them
And press our heads together in the cold

We could make this all so simple
Coming to you, straighter than an arrow
Eyes connected, but splitting down the middle
Coming to you, faster than an arrow

Staring by a river
With a smile like a sliver
That grows out from the things you cast aside
Echoes bounce forever
And stillness still remembered
Is worn out but you need to do what’s right

Lay Your Fire Down

I have become invisible
I am heated by the deepest chill
All the hearts you shatter with precision
Giving dark to light and fueling our division

When you think it’s time
Lay your fire down on me

I burn like embers in the sand
And incinerate your eyes into dead ends
The holy terrors that broke in through my window
Start the party when we run out of ammo

You cannot see the criminals
And the day has become so divisible
Hold on to this night
You can’t tell when they might
Try to kill you when you’re not even there
