Piled Pyre
01:28
|
|||
|
I'm building a fire for my own piled pyre
My head's above ground and silence resounds
I won't be needing any of this today
Because times are picking up
Chances at love
Maybe things will go my way for once

A song to say goodbye
Live, love and lie behind
I never thought these past 3 years would end
Never end
I even tried to deny the past passing by
But I couldn't prevent the sirens of time pushing in
So now how can I win
I don't live for saints or sin
I never believed anything that I couldn't see
A new start to time
New sounds and sights and lies
How could I see these times coming in
Where now can I roam
The city streets replaced by home
A place growing ever-empty to me
Nothing new occurs
My old friends, not a single word
And I can't see the day coming that they all return
A song to say goodbye
Live, love and lie behind
I never thought these past 3 years would end
Never end

Putting Myself To Sleep
02:35
|
|||
|
Now the willow tree's gone
Is it the sign of a new beginning
One by one
The days just leave me
Carry on
As if you could believe me
Now the night walks have gone
Is it the sign of a brand new bringing
One by one
People seem to leave me
By the sun
It's fine with me
One by one
The days just leave me
Carry on
As if you could believe me

I was a child
There was nothing I couldn't do
I wasn't aware of the word out there
And now I am
A storm in passing made the sky turn black and I was scared
I never saw anything like it again
The choices of day to day living were easier then
Became obsessed with whoever it was at the time who would occupy my head
When I was 19 I left my home for another place
When I returned there was no one there
Spare of the people that I never believed would go anywhere or do anything
But even they look to be going on to better things
The choices of day to day living were easier then
Became obsessed with whoever it was at the time who would occupy my head
But I could never face their eyes
It was always the same for me
Destined for disappointment
And an unnerving sense that I need to leave
The choices of day to day living were easier then
Became obsessed with whoever it was at the time who would occupy my head

Salt From My Skin
03:26
|
|||
|
Making my way to Witham Park because then I'll know what I want from this
Because I'm not sure I had a choice in all of this
And how do I pour the salt from my skin
Can I take the time that I need to leave
What can I say
What can I sing
Can I give you anything
Because I'm not sure I had a choice in all of this
And how do I pour the salt from my skin
Can I take the time that I need to leave
I need to leave

Coasts
02:57
|
|||
|
The coast just wasn't quite what you'd hoped
And now you're gone
It's sad to see us all disband
Soon there'll be nothing at all
Leases, wills, funerals and time to mourn
And among the wreckage is a pile of Now! cassettes
For years our names have been a lie
But nothing's changed
Because we were taught that there's no truth in blood ties
Three generations of misaligned finger prints
And things that we will never find
With our bodies a wreckage
What do we really have left
Three deaths gone by and I wonder who will be the last to die
What do we really have left
(Nothing at all)
Three deaths gone by and I wonder who will be the last to die
What do we really have left
(No one at all)
With our bodies a wreckage
What do we really have left

Telling The Seasons
03:06
|

|
Chasing me down by the evergreens
Facing me was all that you'd ever need
You turned away leaving me in two pieces of gold
How could I come to be so unpredictable
Cheating me was all that you ever knew
And how regret would be so familiar to you
You turned away leaving me in two pieces of gold
Why do you so insist on being there in my sleep
You said you would be waiting for me for years
But I'll always forget you
And that's the truth
You turned away leaving me in two pieces of gold
Why do you so insist on being there in my sleep

Rails
01:37
|
|||
|
I asked you exactly what you wanted from me
You said "everything"
And I complied
I wondered exactly how I could do that
You said that it was my problem now
So I tried and I tried to get what you asked for
But I lied and said I'd got it all
But in truth I got for you a garden gnome with coins in
And now she's flying with rage
And going right off the rails

Homecoming
01:22

This isn't 1995
This is homecoming
This is a time I wish others were still alive
This isn't just another reason to be running away
This isn't 1995
This is homecoming

We're getting older now
Time won't wait for you
It's getting warmer now
But I think Winter really passed us by this year
It went easy on us
It went easy on everyone
Elsewhere it wasn't easy on us
But we went easy on everyone
And you know how it feels to be left out in the cold all year
I think you'll soldier on
As that's what you're used to by now
A year ago today
The cold really took it's toll like never before
It's going easy on us
It's going easy on everyone
Elsewhere it's no easy for us
But we go easy on everyone
And you know how it feels to be left out in the cold all year
The Summer will wash away the sadness that accompanies the cold

8 Months
03:26
|
|||
|
Last night felt like the year before
Staring through the bathroom mirror
I tried then to talk to you
But I know that you're not really there
But I go on hopelessly
Knowing full well that things can only go wrong
Today is a new day so let's forget it
That anything even happened and we're good again
Tonight feels like it did before
In the city, in my room on the first floor
Days wavered then
I never knew that those times would end
But sure enough it's been 8 months
And how many more
Until I walk the streets I grew to adore
Today is a new day so let's forget it
That anything even happened and we're good again
I waited so long to have to see you again
