Lyrics

The Silence

We come undone to save ourselves To save ourselves Part of me Is part of you And part of us Is hiding truth And part of us is fighting through The silence Inside of me Is something new Change revolves Becoming you Inside of me Inside of you We come undone to save ourselves Letting go to save ourselves All of me Needs all of you When all the lines Become the muse All the tides Becoming you The silence The silence We come undone to save ourselves Letting go to save ourselves

Cold Blood

Your lips are silent Under lock and key When the darkness holds you Let your mind run free If you need somebody You'll be safe with me From your minds trenches In a touch, I gave you all I could In my heart, I'm just as scared as you In a rush, we felt the current pull In a hush, I give my warmth to you Cold blood (would you come alive?) Cold blood (would you come alive?) Hold on (would you come alive?) Cold blood (would you come alive?) When my mind is empty And I'm light on feet When the light's are whispering And the river speaks If you need somebody Wrap yourself round me Let the waves subside In a touch, I gave you all I could In my heart, I'm just as scared as you In a rush, we felt the current pull In a hush, I give my warmth to you Cold blood (would you come alive?) Cold blood (would you come alive?) Hold on (would you come alive?) Cold blood (would you come alive?) I'll run for you I'll make us alive I'll build you up For you I bleed dry Cold blood (would you come alive?) Cold blood (would you come alive?) Hold on (would you come alive?) Cold blood (would you come alive?)

KING

Tell me what to say, I can't on my own All my life I heard whispering is wrong Stronger figures stand proud in the cold all alone I can feel the pain The moment I stop and take it in Let the fire run rings Mark circles in my skin Let the feelings sink under Feel the power of a king I let the fire run deep Guide rivers with my feet I can feel my own thunder Feel the power of a king Doubts have plate themselves into my cast Faultlines forming on top of my mask I collect pieces of my recycled heart and move on I can feel the pain The moment I stop and take it in I let the fire run rings Mark circles in my skin let the feelings sink under Feel the power of a king I let the fire run deep Guide rivers with my feet I can feel my own thunder Feel the power of a king Feel the power of a king I can feel the pain I let the fire run rings I can feel the pain I let the fire run rings Feel the power of a Feel the power of a Feel the power of a king I let the fire run rings Mark circles in my skin Let the feelings sink under Feel the power of a king I let the fire run deep. Guide rivers with my feet I can feel my own thunder Feel the power of a king Feel the power of a king

Stronger Than

Hope, my convictions off You know I know you well You lost nothing of your old self Closeness is something we Reforged as old friends With a lightness your guard fell There's no words to say But that won't stop me anyway If I could make you forget today I would There's no words to say But that won't stop me anyway If I can make you forget today I will I've never met someone who Could even compare to you You're stronger than I ever knew Swimming downstream through the cold seas I've never met someone who Could even compare to you You're stronger than I ever knew Swimming downstream through the cold seas We are the statues standing silently we scorned But without these sanctions, self-imposed, I don't know if we'd ever know what for? There's no words to say But that won't stop me anyway If I could make you forget today I would There's no words to say But that won't stop me anyway If I can make you forget today I will I've never met someone who Could even compare to you You're stronger than I ever knew Swimming downstream through the cold seas I've never met someone who Could even compare to you You're stronger than I ever knew Swimming downstream through the cold seas I've never met someone who Could even compare to you You're stronger than I ever knew Swimming downstream through the cold seas I've never met someone who Could even compare to you You're stronger than I ever knew Swimming downstream through the cold seas

Sirens

It's only been a year But when I'm sitting still I feel it's hold I'm sinking into you I'm running from the truth Down a long road When you're not around me I'm slowly drowning I try to reach out for you We're all alone together Our Hearts are both tethered But am I relying too much on you? Garden let me grow again The sirens called me out to here I found myself in deep again The sirens called me out to here It's only for a week But when I hear you speak I try to hold on Cut into the stone Tattoo on my bones let your weakness in When you're not around me I'm slowly drowning I try to reach out for you We're all alone together Our hearts are still tethered But am I relying too much on you? Garden let me grow again The sirens called me out to here I found myself in deep again The sirens called me out to here You keep me from doubting myself You keep me from doubting You keep me from doubting myself I want you around me Garden let me grow again The sirens called me out to here I found myself in deep again The sirens called me out to here

Everyone's Sleeping

Find myself preaching caught inside out Try to run deep but I'm frozen in doubt Simplify each of my wandering clouds Everyone's sleeping now I want to love me I want myself open to you Present like the salt in the wound Don't pity me I want to hunger Ravenous and wild like a bruise Purpose that continues to move me Through my limbs Find myself preaching caught inside out Try to run deep but I'm frozen in doubt Simplify each of my wandering clouds Everyone's sleeping now I want to mend me Water rushing down to a drain Disparate parts connecting again Oh my I want relief respite from the noise of the streets Forests burning start to retreat how I've tried Find myself preaching caught inside out Try to run deep but I'm frozen in doubt Simplify each of my wandering clouds Everyone's sleeping now

Spirits

Spirits in my head Close the loop I'm terrified again Whispering friend We can't pretend It's now my main regret I won't have children in the world we shared And they'll be less Without your self

Spiritual Man

Outer space Floating through, different truths But we spoke the same Secret codes, you let me know, I was On my way A little you goes a long way And I hope you stay Swam into the river, lying on my back Shutting down my system let the wires fold back I am not a spiritual kind of man But you come close to me There's a hope come back Try to sleep In my head you're the best kind of therapy How I hate, separation I'm low today A little you goes a long way But I'm on my way Swam into the river, lying on my back Shutting down my system let the wires fold back I am not a spiritual kind of man But you come close for me There's a hope come back But you come close for me But you come close But you come close for me There's a hope come back But you come close for me But you come close But you come close for me There's a hope come back You're making me a spiritual man You're making me a spiritual man You're making me a spiritual man You're making me a spiritual man Swam into the river, lying on my back Shutting down my system let the wires fold back I am not a spiritual kind of man But you come close for me There's a hope come back You're making me a spiritual man You're making me a spiritual man You're making me a spiritual man You're making me a spiritual man

Rear View

Not looking in the rear view Never saw it creeping up this time Searching for a clear view I should stop and rearrange my mind Not looking in the rear view Never saw it creeping up this time Searching for a clear view I should Drifting at the speed of light Darkness carries through the night A never ending weight on my heart I don't know why I hold on Drifting at the speed of light Sleeping through the warning signs A never ending weight on my heart I don't know why I hold on You're looking for the next thing Looking for the next dream Looking for life You're looking for the next thing Looking for the next dream Looking for, looking for life Not looking at the rear view Never saw it creeping up this time Searching for a clear view I should stop and rearrange my mind Not looking at the rear view Never saw it creeping up this time Searching for a clear view I should stop and rearrange my mind Drifting at the speed of light Darkness carries through the night A never ending weight on my heart Drifting at the speed of light Sleeping through the warning signs A never ending weight on my You're looking for the next thing Looking for the next dream Looking for life Looking for the next thing Looking for the next dream Looking for looking for life You're looking for the next thing Looking for the next dream Looking for life Looking for the next thing Looking for the next dream Looking for looking for life Not looking at the rear view Never saw it creeping up this time Searching for a clear view I should stop and rearrange my mind Not looking at the rear view Never saw it creeping up this time Searching for a clear view I should stop and rearrange my mind

I Only Wanted You

I pressed my face to the glass Fill my heart like a canister Watched your light in a dance Slide in and out of my hands and yeah If I was only one minute faster I'd never even see you pass me But I only wanted you Pressed my ear to the sound Not the words I desired You felt my pain in the gaps In the yearn of the silence If I could only get my hands up I could've let it all go past me But I only wanted you It takes time to ground but the time is ours But I only wanted you

Swallowed Up

I wash My hands in time for lunch but A light touch Fills me up enough I counted one That swallowed up the love And left the table unsatisfied I cried When you got hung to dry For all that's in my mind I'll never understand why We all need to try To reach inside our minds And find a deeper light In the river where you drowned you're Turning trauma into sounds Opened up and you gave out Something too real Didn't know what you'd done But you put your paint on the brush Saw that it was made from your blood Hurt yourself in the deal Sky high A world upon a wire And in the shadow lies A long awaited trial We all need to break The bread upon the plate And I am guilty too In the river where you drowned you're Turning trauma into sounds Opened up and you gave out Something too real Didn't know what you'd done But you put your paint on the brush Saw that it was made from your blood Hurt yourself in the deal

Homebound

Gun shy, of losing what we got 
Changed the broken light, in the same damn spot We would normally do it together but now that we're not
 In the same room, 
I miss you 

I think that we thought, absence makes the heart grow fonder 
That rolling and fighting the urges just makes it stronger 
From distance we write, 
wishing we're homebound 
Impatient with time
, wishing we're homebound Crushing on your lungs
 It's open season Just a feeling on your tongue The words won't heal you any Crushing on your It's open season Just to fall Crushing on your lungs
 It's open season Just a feeling on your tongue The words won't heal you any Crushing on your It's open season Just to fall Gun shy, of losing what we got 
Changed the broken light, in the same damn spot We would normally do it together but now that we're not
 In the same room, 
I miss you 

I think that we thought, absence makes the heart grow fonder 
That rolling and fighting the urges just makes it stronger 
From distance we write, 
wishing we're homebound 
Impatient with time
, wishing we're homebound Crushing on your lungs
 It's open season Just a feeling on your tongue The words won't heal you any Crushing on your It's open season Just to fall Crushing on your lungs
 It's open season Just a feeling on your tongue The words won't heal you any Crushing on your It's open season Just to fall 
From distance we write, 
wishing we're homebound 
Impatient with time
, wishing we're homebound Crushing on your lungs
 It's open season Just a feeling on your tongue The words won't heal you any Crushing on your It's open season Just to fall Crushing on your lungs
 It's open season Just a feeling on your tongue The words won't heal you any Crushing on your It's open season Just to fall
