Your Beautiful Heart (Dying) - acoustic version 04:45
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

Far Away - acoustic version 04:46
lyrics
buy track
You’re far away and I can’t seem to find the time to come and play But I don’t mind just calling from the edge You turned away from everything you paid for at cost And all the castaways you spend your time with now are just as lost You’re far away and I can’t seem to find you And now you’re searching for your missing memory through the mirrored glass And all you find in just your mind in shattered pieces in the grass You’re far away and I can’t seem to find you Did you ever think you were a splash of paint dropped from the brush of a creator while he’s stood making something else? And you splashed into existence Completely unannounced You’re far away and I can’t seem to find you

Glue - acoustic version 03:14
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
4.
Unspent High - acoustic version 03:16
lyrics
buy track
In a northern town You wear a golden crown Big fish in a little pond You’re the king of the things you were never fond of and it drags you down In a fading dream You’re picking at the seam You’re gonna float even if you take a running jump in the lake You can never wake and you’ll return to the stream Dance monkey, dance monkey, can’t be love if it’s not fun We daren’t jump We’re scared, dump the last bad memory and let’s run If the song ends, we’re not done We’ll make this mad dance linger on No regrets, no unspent high Just you and me and no goodbye

Lasermaze - acoustic version 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Keep it in the corner In the shadows In a worn-out suitcase Hiding in the corners You can find me in a maze of light Keep it for the weekend It’s only two days to Friday Speak it, you’re among friends You’re a beacon in the dead of night I see you dressed in white We are in a maze of light

Gone Campin' (Sunburn Smiles) - acoustic version 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Sunset glowing on the mountain Hour is late but no one's counting Eat our tea out of a round tin Look out baby, we've gone campin' Wake up waiting for the sunrise Tartan blanket on our cold thighs Canvas creaking on some loose guys Campfire smoke will sting in both eyes Darling, where's the matches? I can't find the lighter! Washing in the river Cooking by the fire We're home here in the wild We lay our heads on stone And share our sunburn smiles

Tailor 02:49
lyrics
buy track
If fortune was a tangible concept I'd touch the thread, become an architect Except that I work soft 'Cos working hard is hard And life seeps away through The seams of my fitted shirt I thought we were a definite success You told them you were fine under duress And so I had to express that I work soft 'Cos working hard is hard And life seeps away through The seams of my fitted shirt

The Broken Back of Me - acoustic version 05:02
lyrics
buy track
Your mind is gone And you're all alone again Your time is up and you know you'll be dining on the crumbs around the plate My blood will boil And my temper is a thorn inside my head All the pain and toil, I know.. Through my anger I cant speak I'm full of bile, black and bleak If time allows, I'll write your vows in blood and tears Across the broken back of me I wanna be with her Across the broken back of me Now your mind is gone And you're all alone again Oh, your time is up and you know You'll be dining on the crumbs around the plate We're not running for a worthy cause, We're attracting attention from the corporate whores Through my anger I cant speak I'm full of bile, black and bleak If time allows, I'll write your vows in blood and tears On the broken back of me I wanna be with her Across the broken back of me I wanna be with her

Rome - acoustic version 03:08
lyrics
buy track
They stayed at home And you went to Rome Ate on your own Embraced the unknown You counted leaves While they stared at trees Down on your knees Escape their disease It’s too far, it’s too high, it’s too hard to climb
10.
Sun Will Burn - acoustic version 02:41
lyrics
buy track
Up on a hillside we can shout it So no one can ever doubt it And we’ll run back down into the town And from the pavements they can see it And then they’ll know we really mean it And they’ll turn around and leave alone And from the treetops the birds will sing and they’ll all take wing And paint the blue skies black and white And so the tide will turn and the sun will burn And hand in hand we’ll face the night
11.
A Prism - acoustic version 03:41
lyrics
buy track
A prism divides the beam A schism, we’re in-between It isn’t the final scene The present is all we know Unpleasant, but there you go The crescent, a soothing glow
