Moral Colour 03:59
lyrics
Wait for the curtain to fall, the answer to spill out You're on your last breath before you choke on your words The glory fades before it shines Here's the last letter from my weather mind Before we stay, let's move sometime Get back home before we die You want to feel safe? Don't you feel you empty? You want to feel safe? Cut the threads and give up Our moral colour dictates where we are Our words and meetings will reveal our scars We're in our corner of the world, so far removed It amplifies the lonely trait of having something to prove Crack the ice, make the Earth move

Fairweather 04:00
lyrics
Let me feel safe Wait for my beaten lungs to inflate Let me feel safe There's only so much you can take Think of what we could have had If you weren't there to hold me back My head is gone, my time is up I'm just waiting to erupt Fair weather friend until the bitter end Until we sink into the deep end Contract yourself Spread so thin, so close to death Let me see faith Can't get out with no bones left to break Stay In my veins, don't ever fall away

Bitter Hands 02:54
lyrics
There's a black hole with no grasp of reality That can't change anything on the outside It sits at the back of my mind Biting at my blackened insides And truth be told, I'd never tell a soul If I thought that this would never happen And truth be told, I'd never tell a soul Because I know I know you feel it too I'm on my back to watch the world collapse with you I'm not gonna get a release I'll be perfect when it's dead to me We don't exist in a vacuum reality But we can't take influence from the outside It swells at the back of my mind Tearing at my blackened insides They'd say our compromise contradicts who we are But with our bitter hands, bitter hands We're not that far apart
4.
Paper Roots 02:44
lyrics
Can't stomach the wasteland, output with no return I'm wasting, wasting, breaking What's the distance out there? Shout into a black hole I'll write you a letter that will stain my hand And you're waiting for the bright lights But it takes scars for the stars to ignite And you'll maintain that you didn't know But when you're bruised your heart's on show (2nd time – But when you're down the truth is shown) Can you read this to me? Read this back to me We'll only tear ourselves apart in the modern way And it's fair to say that if we don't look We won't see the light for shade I'll write you a letter
5.
Glass House 04:20
lyrics
Freshen up Don't rewrite history, just heal the cuts If you live your life With yourself on the outside in full view, you won't need anything to hide behind Show off the cracks in the panes And empty their mouths Live in a shattered glass house Oh-oh There's nothing left to hold onto Slip beneath your skin There's nothing left to hold onto Slip beneath your Rebuild now Don't let these walls define you, if they're easy to tear down You look so tired You can't hold all the doors open when you're just trying to survive Live in a shattered glass house
6.
Tired Nightlife 04:46
lyrics
This street has been here for years Making stars of the streetlight hearts that ingest their pride And savour sickness we save just for the night This street will be here a while Where is our crippling doubt That we can't go outside, can't go outside without I couldn't find you at the end of the night But you said you were my way out of the tired nightlife The back of a taxi on a dark night Has seen more prayers than the walls of a church And the hundreds and hundreds of warnings Have seen you playing with water but you still got burnt Where is your shame you said You can't leave behind, can't leave home without it Tired nightlife It leaves me behind I don't need any more volunteers with heart Or servants of style that say they will when they can't I need a structure, disaster relief Say your prayers before you bury me I don't need any more suggestions of heart I need the cold hard facts pinned squarely to the mark “So we beat on, boats against the current Borne ceaselessly into the past”
7.
Repeater, Repeater 03:00
lyrics
I've missed it, it's been a while I can smell it on your skin It's behind your smile And that's where it draws me in When everything fades Your rotten roots will come out And Repeater, you'll be forcing them down We're lined up in the backstreets Force-fed a bitter vaccine Repeater, Repeater Another crashed car Your acid tongue melts What you've waited for And anything I could say Would be bent out of shape And by moonlight you had Reduced me to ash And with my trembling hands I held all the venom back You take everything I have You paint it black Repeater, Repeater “A pretty bird in a cage” Repeater You're my cage
8.
Dearest On Show 04:19
lyrics
Spark the bloodflow Pull till there's nothing more My view of your face sends me home It brings me home Every day stays that way That backlit face Lights me up Nothing changes when I need you this much There's nothing that could keep us too far apart Only you move the blood in my heart I'll never let you go You're my dearest, on show I wake up next to you Less in body than mind Open access to yours But you won't take mine Yeah we won't be separated Not when I've got you on-screen I'll keep writing you letters That you'll never see Yeah I know we can make it I've got the structures in place All that's left to arrange Is meeting you face to face You're frozen in time Not just for my eyes I'll never let you go You're my dearest, on show
9.
Head Full of Static 03:16
lyrics
Take what you are Get some life in your winter heart We'll take a car We need to get outside ourselves We're set to explode We're bigger than what's left at home I believe in you We're set, when she said “Blood isn't thicker than water, but it stains our bones all the same” Swallow it down, taste defeat There's nothing else for you to eat You can't delay the inevitable Live here, rot here without The spark to light this grey house Your doubts will follow you home Put your hands to the sky Pray with a head full of static, head full of static It'll never rain I'll wait with a head full of static, head full of static
10.
The Roman Way 03:08
lyrics
Unwound Settled down Get a read on where our Stars are found And the action will come, but for now I'm stuck So lay me to rest where I want to wake up Oh, so long There's only so many things I'll get wrong I'll see my ghost from a few years back to tell me where I came from Oh, so long We'll just keep on keeping on I'll see my ghost from a few years back to tell me where I came from Breathe out Spun around Sing a new song just to Hold it down
