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

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

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,

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.

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.
