Call in the social
Call in the mediation
How else can a shadow
Behind her not follow

Call on the lonely
A plea for you to befriend her
Makes only you feel better
Make only you

Nothing outside will care enough
Nothing outside of you

This trail that you're treading
Is one flicked switch awaiting many
The coils the echoes rattling
I hope the fears are buried beneath my love

My love
Love is the everchanging spectrum of a lie,
A lie to hide behind when nothings right
You take form with ink and blood
Can't you see I'm good

Nothing outside will care enough
Nothing outside of you

The dangers of showing
Any kind of weakness

Just to forget your born

Nothing outside of you

. . .


What shines when the eyes are dull
What folds in when the hinge is gone
The moth is dead without the dust
I'm dead without a fuss

All I know is you
No I can't change

Below the shelf it's a happier home
And all your neighbours they love each other
And your friends are having so much fun
They're baking cakes and swapping numbers

All I know is you
No I can't change

The slightest weight upsets the scale
Simple words are growing vague
We're twinned but put against
One shape under the magnifying glass
Please no ad-lib, the world is cruel and outsides
Licking lips
All i know let's shed the myth
Let's cut out this bit and this bit

. . .


A bridge splits November's sky
I'm in two halves inside
This is the past right here
I choose to leave it here
The cliffs loom to scrape you thin
The bowl churns to overspill
But I can see us here, without this fear

I want to find those books
Search your face, torment us
You're just a shower to someone dry
A shower for the wilted, the dried

Because we all leave courage's side, but I'll always be courage's child
The past I'll clear, I choose to leave it here
(leave it here)

You say have your time again, but you can't and the warning starts now
What's in the frame it makes you sad but you can't fill the gaps
We're four rings on a chain so don't make them rust
I'll be your maps
I'll be your eyes
I'll give the ending a nudge

I don't want to see you like this

Alive now in the middle, not looking from outside
Wishing that it was a screen fight
Settled with all of a heroes flair
Put aside , find a new character

I don't want to. don't want to
Don't want to see you like this

A bridge splits November's sky
I'm in two halves inside
This is the past right here
I choose to leave it here

. . .


See the medal reverse,
this hope is not lost,
There's mischief to turn,
Your ship to send off.

Barbed wits and gowns,
They'll ransack this town,
I'd rescue you now,
but in velvet you'll drown and dance again.

Oh Austere,
Lay by my side
You've been left here
So you'll make no sound.

Hey last words,
Don't let me down,
You're just another,
Unfinished story now.

. . .

A Heavy Abacus

[No lyrics]

. . .


This much delight
Fills columms to new heights
All these things about me you never can tell
Colours run prime
Paint a picture so bright
All these things about me you never can tell
You make me sleep so badly invisible friend

Turn the dial on my words
I can feel they fall short
Turn the dial, chime alarm
Watch these hands move apart
Turn the dial on my words

I can see you staying here

Fierce steps shadow, life's will gone shallow
All these things about me you never can tell
You make me sleep so badly invisible friend

Turn the dial on my words
I can feel they fall short
Turn the dial, chime alarm
Watch these hands move apart
Turn the dial on my words

I can see you staying here

. . .

I can see he says what he means
I can't say what he means when he says that
I'll pretend a pretty pretend
When all I wanna see is the end of this

I can see he says what he means
We'll deal him sticks and stones and apologies
I wish
Oh, I wish it was through

Scrape the skies
Get up off your knees
Just lift the marks
And new-found releases
I'll pretend a pretty pretend
When all I wanna see is the end of this


I wish
I wish
I wish the cobwebs would cover me
Cover me
Cover me

My vicious tongue
Cradles just one

. . .

Chapter 2

[No lyrics]

. . .


A glass a view a mirror
which one
distracts like open windows in the gusts
a calm day will come

this dream is in a telescope now

Fever in bedtime covers go unknown
This fright it grows and misses, sinks and floats
A calm day will come
My calm day will

this dream is in a telescope now

Fever in bedtime covers go unknown
Until two eyes out of the darkness bring hope close

This childish heart can't wait, it dances keeps me awake
to think on
You're the greatest light the greatest shade
It means that I can be happy for you
happy for you
