No One's School 04:15
lyrics
buy track
We carried the flame We waited our whole lives to light the colorful night And we narrowly came so close to swords and knives To fight the gullible fight You copied a name you overheard in class You thought that it made you sound cool And you acted the same to everyone who asked your reasons for acting the fool We cut our teeth in no one’s school, they never got to pull us under We follow people’s orders who we idolize until we grow older

Your Beautiful Heart 04:31
lyrics
buy track
No shelter from the rain For those who helped her to explain Too tired now to explore any more Blew the fires out when we saw we were sure It’s not that you’re kidding me, it’s just that your mask looks too real I see what I look for, when I watch you my brain slips a gear It appears you fit me ideally But your beautiful heart is already separate and healing We crawl and we walk and we run and we jump and we’re flying We call and we talk and we sing about something that’s dying I’m not such a fool, I just have a rule Don’t cut your loss ‘til it’s over If you slice it too soon you’re risking a wound to a lover So what would you say when the fog melts away And the warmth comes to rest on your shoulder Would you look at me then and choose me again Or still walk away with another

This is the Moment Now 03:53
lyrics
buy track
I’ve paraded with the wolves amid the stink of sweat and booze Joined the kids with the fringes sharp as blades In rebellions in burnt arcades I missed out on paradise but the drummer’s karma rocked me twice I’ve sampled new pornography and walked with spiders nationally Jacked up my red blood cells Kicking televisions in Yankee hotels There’s nowhere else I’d want to go This is the place, this is the moment now This is the song, this is the show We’ve sung along to the greatest song and we’ve seen the devil cry Saw a beautiful world inside a cave, exploded in the sky The world has turned while empires fake and in our dreams the levee breaks I was adored and resurrected by common people that we selected The pink moon showed us what to feel And we promised the android the plastic tree was real

Eyes Go Dark 02:03
lyrics
buy track
When we were young we felt so strong The songs we sung, the words were wrong Tell us a story of your broken hearts When the water turns black and the ocean parts Follow your leader on up to the park And we can all stand by as your eyes go dark When you were young you grazed your knee You couldn’t tell, they couldn’t see

Falling Aimlessly 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Snow doesn’t need instructions No thoughts or patterns It’s already beautiful enough Spins and tumbles without direction It’s only path is down Seeks no certainty for what awaits it underground Rolls and stays and it melts away Blown by the air itself Each little snowflake doesn’t get a say But they don’t seem to mind anyway I wish you were the falling snow Content to see your future drift Know in the end that there is an end and it’s one you won’t mind living with Please stop falling aimlessly Float ever down contentedly with me

Glue 04:29
lyrics
buy track
You're dancing on your own Such a beautiful song To the tempo and tone You can't sing what you know So you try something old You can't think why you're old before all of your friends who were taller than you You don't think what you're told could eventually mean it's supposed to be true They tore it up and poured it over you You swept it up and stuck it back with glue They tore it up and you stuck it back with glue
7.
Blank Horizons 04:53
lyrics
buy track
Took out a loan for the aftermath and you squandered it all and now you’re down on your luck We came along and we told you that you had wandered off course into the path of a truck The shorter nights are upon us now and you’re staying up late so you can sing to the sun The water might fall upon the town and it’ll wash off the cobwebs and the spiders will run Pack your bags and unlock the door, avoid disturbing the neighbours as you leave the flat You always knew that you were meant for more, so you kept telling yourself while they were telling you that you were always meant for the simple work Waiting on folks who’d had an easier ride You gave the finger and a narky smirk to the bully in the suit you just couldn’t abide You learn the hard way And your fortunes are turning someday soon When I was young, it was a disgrace if you had enough books to fill up a bookcase I grew up ashamed of not being the same as the boys who believed that life peaks at age sixteen Blank horizons, incurious minds seemed cool at the time A trap that leaves you behind

Unravelled 03:24
lyrics
buy track
It’s too cold to travel on your own So alone With a bottle and a map on your phone It’s you who unravelled what was sewn into bone Push the throttle and collapse what was known You run until you hit the wall You trip and fall You tell us that you had it all Did you have anything at all? You’re closing on the perfect deal Your final meal Was any of it ever real?
9.
Deliver 03:17
lyrics
buy track
We move along the line and take our turn Improve upon the time we take to learn The food we got was rotten, rank and poor Include it on your list to thank them for You’re in the fold and they’ll never lose hold of you Embrace the cold and deliver your soul You’re in the fold and they’ll never lose hold of you Embrace the cold and remember your soul is due You’re in the fold and they’ll never lose hold of you Embrace the cold and deliver your soul

This Old Refrain 04:47
lyrics
buy track
The colors fade into grey at the close of the day You’re calling, for what you can’t say You’re falling away You stumble through the town The voices are loud You’re humbled by the sound that echoes around This old refrain Dirty words sung again It stains my days with the shame of the time we lost playing games The colours fade in from grey at the turn of the day We throw ourselves in the fray to keep the boredom at bay This old refrain The words you shout carve grooves throughout your brain And anger twists itself inside your grain It's why we’re here time and time again Singing this tired old refrain
11.
Fall into Symmetry 04:18
lyrics
buy track
Roll underwater The salt gets in your eyes It’s blurring all their lies And days getting shorter Ignore the worried cries and sever all the ties Search every dynasty to see what we can find We haven’t got the time to fall into symmetry The pieces in align The king and queen are mine Where are we going now? I don’t recognise the road I’m tired and I’m cold Where are you taking me? I’m blinded by the sun I think my time has come

Won't Make a Sound 04:30
lyrics
buy track
Walking on coals to keep your feet warm Burning the soles and changing your form The end never comes ‘til your fingers and thumbs are bleeding and raw and your spirit is torn Fighting the cold and working the land It’s taking its toll when you’re sowing in sand Kneel down in the field and accept that you yield to the futile battles you wage with the shield in your hand We’ll find you where you fell and we can bring you around We’ll hide you so that no one can tell and you can never be found You can sleep for a thousand years because we won’t make a sound
