Home Fires
04:31
|

I’m so excited I just can’t deny it
I’m so elated
I feel satiated
Another road
Another time
I’m travelling back
To a warmth
In my heart
I can’t replace
Travelling back
You say you’re gonna keep these home fires burning
I say these moments just prolong my yearning
From a far distance I will see the red embers
Air for our love
Air for our love
Let it fly
Let it grow
To the sky high above us
Let us learn in order to know
We are capable
Of so much more.
Don’t delay
Don’t deny
This sacred space
You’ve only got now
Disengage
Your defence give into grace
It’s all you’ve got now
I try to do my best it’s all that I can really do
Stop pushing through these walls try a different avenue
From a far distance I will see the red embers
Air for our love
Air for our love
Let it fly
Let it grow
To the sky high above us
Let us learn in order to know
We are capable
Of so much more.
My heart beats for you
When I’m gone
I think of you
My heart beats for you
When I’m gone
I’m longing
Let it fly
Let it grow
To the sky high above us
Let us learn in order to know
We are capable
Of so much more.

Every Day
03:54
|

Every day we are dying
we are dying
to be loved.
Every day we are dying
we are dying
We are dying to be loved
Crowded rooms yet we’re lonely
oh so lonely
We’re crying to be touched
crying to be touched
That’s alright that’s ok
Is what we’ve learned to say
Say it loud, loud and louder
Take the time to magnify
Seek the truth don’t justify
All these lies they’re feeding you
So much
more to life than this
So much
more to life than this
So much
more to life than this
So much
more to life than this
Every day we are dying
we are dying
We are dying to be loved
Every day we’re complying
Whilst denying
Afraid to be the judge
Afraid to lead the trudge
That’s alright that’s ok
Is what we’ve learned to say
Say it loud, loud and louder
Take the time to magnify
Seek the truth don’t justify
All these lies they’re feeding you
So much
more to life than this
So much
more to life than this
So much
more to life than this
So much
more to life than this

Dig Deep
04:37
|
|||
I’m travelling light
Through days and the nights
Leaving behind shedding my skin
Layer by layer I pack them away
Folded neatly
Cello taped boxes
I start to stack
Year by year
Heartache by heartache
They hold hands
Every split and
Every tear
These photographs
Frozen in time.
Til the next season
When I excavate
Dig dig deep again
Til the next season
I’ll need a reason
To Dig dig deep again
I’m high on this hilltop
Right at the edge
I find myself here
Holding my breath
Do you remember
When we used to walk here
Hand in hand
Heart to heart?
I start to stack
Year by year
Heartache by heartache
They hold hands
Every split and
Every tear
These photographs
Frozen in time.
Til the next season
When I excavate
Dig dig deep again
Til the next season
I’ll need a reason
To Dig dig deep again
I’m travelling light
Seeking new sights
Leaving behind the dullness within
Footstep by footstep
My body does follow
Emerging anew
Into the unknown.
Til the next season
When I excavate
Dig dig deep again
Til the next season
I’ll need a reason
To Dig dig deep again

Through the Trees
03:44
|
|||
Barefoot walks the path
grey stones grind me
just to take a peek through the trees.
Curious fingers touch
discover pure eyes
they look right back at me.
Through the trees
I see
I breathe
they don't know I'm breathing
I'm seeing
inhaling
every fragment
every fragment.
Chalk lines separate
what's yours
what's mine
and Who gave you the right
to choose
who loses?
Seeing red makes us blind
history that's left behind
discover
pure eyes.
Through the trees
I see
I breathe
they don't know I'm breathing
I'm seeing
inhaling
every fragment
every fragment.
When our feet no longer walk this place
rivers and hills sleep with the plains
what we cannot carry away
we cannot sell
we will not.
Through the trees
I see
I breathe
they don't know I'm breathing
I'm seeing
inhaling
every fragment
every fragment.

Envy
03:38
|
|||
Envy is an ugly thing
With it’s twisting
writhing in-between
all these moments
we try to see the blue In the sky
Cast it’s shadows cross our eyes
Silhouettes turn
All these colours to
SHADES OF GREEN
SHADES OF GREEN
SHADES OF GREEN
SHADES OF GREEN
Envy is an hungry thing
with it’s tantalising
bursting seams
Distracting desire
We never knew we had
Silhouettes they turn
All these colours to
SHADES OF GREEN
SHADES OF GREEN
SHADES OF GREEN
SHADES OF GREEN
ALL THESE COLOURS
SHADES OF GREEN
SHADES OF GREEN
SHADES OF GREEN
SHADES OF GREEN

Silver
03:45
|
|||
Turn the lights on
To give us something to see
let me
slowly
tell me
what do you see
in me
in clarity.
Silver covers everything
Looking teaches us to sing
Conclusions bouncing just like light
in our universe made of mirrors
pupils of starlight
Turn the lights on
tell me what do you want to see
that’s the key
it’s what you’ll be.
Believe
whatever you want there to be
then breathe
life into thee.
Silver covers everything
Looking teaches us to sing
Conclusions bouncing just like light
in our universe made of mirrors
pupils of starlight
Creation bursts from time itself
it’s splitting at the skin
curling up into the universe
blinding everything that it’s in
I see you make
I see you create
Silver covers everything
Looking teaches us to sing
Conclusions bouncing just like light
in our universe made of mirrors
pupils of starlight

River In My Veins
03:28
|
|||
I can push you down down
Far beneath my skin
If i do it enough surely i will win
This battle between you and I
I’ll never lose a fight
The largest river flows inside my veins.
I conceal myself from these ugly truths
A pattern I designed and weaved back in my youth
This olive leaf in my hand I will not extend
I will always fight until the end.
They raise both arms
In full bodied embrace
Surely this is false
Then, why does my heart ache?
I can see you coming from a mile away
It don’t matter what you say I’ll surely stay
I don’t mind rain or shine
I’m always a heartbeat away
Pleasure or disdain
Give or take
I am blinded by my love for you my dear
This pain you put me through
I will still be here
Sirens to protect me
have gone off through the night
I’ve lost my compass
and I’ve lost what’s right
They raise both arms
In full bodied embrace
Surely this is false
Then why does my heart ache?
They raise both arms
In full bodied embrace
Surely this is false
Then, why does my heart ache?
All i have been so far
keeps us metres apart
I am afraid not to feel this
and I'm afraid to start,

Private Lives
03:42
|
|||
The view from the window sill
almost seeing
almost hearing
toy cars travel up the hill
their lights disappearing
stars, lit up from afar
you can see through the trees
quiet private lives
of those right beside me
You wouldn’t know what was through those doors
You wouldn’t know, you wouldn’t know
You wouldn’t know what lay upon those floors
You wouldn’t know, you wouldn’t know
She remembers this
from 1925
the world has passed her by
now she’s waiting to arrive.
He must stay inside
He is fighting to survive
and strength he must regain
to look life straight in the Eye
You wouldn’t know what was through those doors
You wouldn’t know, you wouldn’t know
You wouldn’t know what lay upon those floors
You wouldn’t know, you wouldn’t know

Open Eyes
05:33
|
|||
Rest your heavy head on mine
Don’t hesitate to cry
To cry your fears
Allow
the ache inside to climb
through your breath to find
his way outside
don’t be shy you’re fine
you’ll be fine
Open your eyes let the light in
Open your eyes let the light in
Let the corners of your mouth rise
Open your eyes.
There are little joys
to be found
buried deep
in the sound
the sound of masses that shout
shout out loud to tell
what to feel and how
how to break that spell
when distance causes hell
how do we breathe now?
Open your eyes let the light in
Open your eyes let the light in
Let the corners of your mouth rise
Open your eyes.
Time stood still again
As we watch
With bated breath we wait
Uncertain.

Neverending Light
04:02
|
|||
A man he walks across the road
not knowing which way to go
each path leading to
unexpected.
Blind man he walks across the road
lost in thoughts of old
each one leading to
unexpected.
Oh threads of silk
the web we build
Towards the never-ending light
She is guided by
never-ending night
tales cross the seas
they have steered her
And everyone we come across is another
And everyone we come across is a brother
Every single one of us is longing after the same thing
Every single one of us - every single one
They walk in white
they walk as one
bringing love
from the father’s son
each door leading to
expected fools.
One by one
haloed by the sun
bearing crosses
they want everyone
to seek the truth
"it’ll cleanse us"
Oh threads of silk
and the web we build
Towards the never-ending light
She is guided by
never-ending night
tales cross the seas
they have steered her
And everyone we come across is another
And everyone we come across is a brother
Every single one of us is longing after the same thing
Every single one of us - every single one
Everyone everyone
And everyone we come across is another
And everyone we come across is a brother
Every single one of us is longing after the same thing
Every single one of us - every single one

Unsheltered
07:33
|
|||
I was 21
when you
I was 22
when you showed me the world
and oh
I was blind
and oh
how I was blind
and oh
you couldn't see me,
for me.
Stars would fall
and hit the horizon
I would wish upon the brightest
let me see the night
with my naked eyes
Unsheltered.
I was in the dark
when it came to you.
I walk now heavy hearted
still you
still you.
Oh how I tried
believe
believe me
but how could one deny?
It's you.
It's you.
Through the lens
we'd gaze up high
into the night
and into the sky
still I hold this feeling
what if?
Stars would fall
and hit the horizon
I would wish upon the brightest
let me see the night
with my naked eyes
Unsheltered
Unsheltered.
