Rag and Bone
I’ve had enough
I know, it’s dead here
I’ve heard there’s more, there must be more to life
Repetitive
We serve, we smile, we wear a grin
I know there’s more, there’s so much more to life
You can’t see the light when you are under
Strapped down, joyless on the merry-go-round
There is beauty in the hedgerows
Don’t ask me
Because you know they’ll take everything that you own
Winter’s coming around like the rag and bone
Still going round
Still playing statues
I’ve had enough
This house is never clean
We should flee like Thelma and Louise
I’ll get my coat
But first I’ll get the washing in
I’ve heard Mexico is lovely in the spring
You can’t see the light when you are under
Strapped down, joyless on the merry-go-round
There is fire in the old girl
Yet I’m bound

Messing Around
I was only messing around
Never meant to throw you to the ground
I was only messing but we’re turning into slaves upon a battlefield
When all you want is written in a story
And you’re acting like you’re living in a movie
Where have you gone?
Need some time to capture the sound
Of all the splendour racing through this town
Need some time to turn some tables
Residential bliss would be the death of me
What is real? We’re losing empathy
Plugged into erase reality
Silence is a friend to see
And solitude has always seen the need in me
We’re the generation of life’s limitation
We’re the generation of art’s imitation
We’re the generation of human degradation

Forgiveness Killed Us
She’s so softly spoken and holding your hand
You could crush her fingers and grind them to sand
She would scream and you would laugh
She gladly gave herself to him and that is why you
Think these tragic things that keep you up until the dawn
Hurt in your head
Your bed’s burning
A seed planted
Since she went calling, calling, calling his name
She’s so softly spoken and holding your hand
You should hold her and drift to far away lands
Instead you dream of pushing her off the cliff
Your mother used to take you too when you were just a child
Her shameful infidelity is boring underneath your skin
And feeding off the sanity inside

Home
Keep on watch
Watching the days go by
Though these lives
Watching the days go by
Chasing time
Look, I’m rushing
Inside, I’m outside, inside, I’m outside
Then I’m struggling
Inside, I’m outside, inside, I’m outside
Gotta get me, gotta get me home
Please don’t stop
Stopping the dangerous lights
Cover my eyes
Stopping the dangerous lights
Soothe my mind
Cos’ I’m afraid I might
Keep on rushing
Inside I’m outside, inside I’m outside
Keep on struggling
Inside I’m outside, inside I’m outside
Gotta get me, gotta get me home

Heaven
Heaven see the beauty in you
Heaven see the beauty in me
Heaven how I feel it everywhere, everywhere
Heaven shone and gave us choice
Heaven smiled and gave us voice
Straight into the heart, heaven everywhere
And it’s gonna be a long beautiful life
It’s gonna be a long beautiful life
Heaven is the dust that lays
Heavy on this open page
Constantly the heart beats heaven everywhere
Heaven is a lingering stare
Shooting arrows in the air
Now I must declare, heaven’s everywhere
And it’s gonna be a long beautiful life
Heaven’s in your bones, chapters in your eyes
It’s gonna be a long, beautiful life
It’s gonna be a long, beautiful life

History
Where’d you wanna go?
I don’t know
Figures in the snow
Told you so
Where’d you wanna go?
I don’t know
Grey from head to toe
Stirring slowly
And this ain’t much fun
Watching everyone go down in history
Lord we gotta run
Don’t wanna see the sun bounce off my TV
6 5 4 3 2 1 ZERO
There’s nowhere else left to go
God, this is an eyesore
All that we have worked for, all our history
Not dancing when we choose to
Now, we only move so solitary
Start to gather dust, put to bed to rust inside this factory
Lord, we gotta run
Don’t wanna see the sun rise on my TV
6 5 4 3 2 1 ZERO
There’s nowhere else left to go
Hold on
Turn the mood to low
Heavy glow
On this dancefloor, on this empty dancefloor
Last orders at The Crow
Drink up slowly
And this ain’t much fun
Watching everyone go down in history
Lord we gotta run
Don’t wanna see the sun set on my TV
6 5 4 3 2 1 ZERO
There’s nowhere else left to go
Hold on

Wings
Broken dreams leave splinters
Buried in the nine to fives
So many axes here to grind
Pretty shapes, those diamonds
We polish our wings and they clip them
I’m telling you this:
They’ll never clip mine
Children pulling triggers
So many eyes to cover
The Midas touch, a touch too much
Pretty shapes, those diamonds
No dead, no end
I feel it in my heart
I’m telling you this:
They’ll never clip these wings of mine
I’m telling you this:
They’ll never clip mine

The Boatman
You could easily be the boatman
The wise man on the water
And I see it
I hear it in you
There’s a coloured light
I believe it may connect you
Helped me forget, when I heard your song
Wanna sing along
Just like the boatman
We used to write and we were free
The boatman, the boatman and me
You see the same
You course the same vein
There’s a golden light
That joins across the water
There’s a comfort in your face

Empires
In time all empires fall and decline
All you see here will never be mine
We all live and die and fight for nothing
We will fight and die till there is nothing
Nothing left
We break windows to get what we want
Enter new worlds; take what we want
We all live and die and fight for nothing
We will fight and die till there is nothing
Nothing left
Empires all fall in time
In the decline
No one left to tie their shoes
Empty souls leave empty spaces
We all live and die and fight for nothing
We will fight and die till there is nothing
