You could say I'm unlucky in love
But I prefer to think I'm dodging bullets quite well
And you could say I've had enough
But I prefer to think I'm just learning stuff
About the world, about myself

And I've had crazy, violent, cokehead, private
Joyless, user, mid-life crisis
Keep it coming, we're all worth something
Keep it rising and keep on surprising me

'Cause I don't, don't want to be afraid
Don't want to say I never gave it a try
'Cause we're all wasting time
But it's the kind of time we need to find
The way, the right one

So far I've had cheater, liar, aimless fire
Broken, dire, limp-dick fighter
Keep it coming, we're all worth something
Keep it rising and keep on surprising me

I'm not ashamed, not full of regrets
Don't want to go on without you and you and you and you

'Cause I've had nympho, psycho, holy, Rambo
Alcoholic, raging arsehole
Keep it coming, we're all worth something
Keep it rising and keep on surprising me

Dodging Bullets

Nocturne

Water child, deep down in the dark
The heart of it
Salt in my veins where the blood should be
There's no stopping everything the ocean sees
It's calling me home as the tides part

It's washing over me, the way I want it
Can't stop me sinking down
I want it to consume me
Lie and tell me sea maid tales
I want to grow my tail
Grow my tail and go

Beyond the land of my tribes
Water and ice
I want to go where all the wild men go
I want to know the depths that no one knows
I want to see the sun from the bottom of all creation

It's washing over me, the way I want it
Can't stop me sinking down
I want it to consume me
Lie, tell me sea maid tales
I want to grow my tail
Grow my tail and go

Waves crash, thrown back
Cannot have your say
In the sky Momma's brother got some play today
She is what we can't control
She is what we can't control

It's washing over me, the way I want it
Can't stop me sinking down
I want it to consume me
Lie, tell me sea maid tales
I want to grow my tail
Grow my tail and go

Grow My Tail

Take what you want
Take what you want from me
Don't be scared, I'm blind
And I'm lonely 
Keep me down

Like a plague
What a way to destroy me
What a way
Here, give up

Let me shimmer

Shimmer

I sit and stare at the stars above
I sit and stare at the waves below us
There is no love like this in this cruel abyss
There is no claim to this
Half a world I've missed

Can't stand the freedom
Can't stand it taken away
'Cause I'm not all I was promised to be
And I don't know which of these shards are part of me

I can feel them watching
And I can feel the weight pulling under my skin
There is no fear like this in this hopelessness
There is no truth to this
Too long did I resist

Can't stand the freedom
Can't stand it taken away
'Cause I'm not all I was promised to be
And I don't know which of these shards are part of me

Part of Me

Every day I chase my past away
With song, with faith, with dance, homegrown
Say you mean it, say you need it, say you want it, say you feel it in your heart
In your bones, in your blood, now you know

Never know which way to run to
When will the stars burn out inside?

Got to find a way
Hold onto diamond days
Never know when he'll start the snail haze
Stars are shining down and I won't be around
When they take us out with celestial sound
Your drawers are full of skeletons and shit
It's coming out

When you see my scars don't run and hide
'Cause they're proud battle wounds
Proof I can fight
But I'm tired, weary eyes find it hard to see
With colour, with honour, with faith in me

Never know which way to run to
When will the stars burn out inside?

When I speak I hide behind my rhymes
Pretty words, flying birds designed to deny
That I mean it, that I need it
That I want it, that I feel it in my soul
And now you know that I don't know how to let go

Never know which way to run to
When will the stars burn out inside?

Got to find a way
Hold onto diamond days
Never know when he'll start the snail haze
Stars are shining down and I won't be around
When they take us out with celestial sound
Your drawers are full of skeletons and shit
It's coming out

And I fight with all I've got
I don't know if it will ever be enough
These scars are stacking up
Yeah, what a rough
But these diamonds days - what a cut

Got to find a way
Hold onto diamond days
Never know when he'll start the snail haze
Stars are shining down and I won't be around
When they take us out with celestial sound
Your draws are full of skeletons and shit
It's coming out

Diamond Days

End of Time (Mary Courage cover)

Sleep well dear soul
We're coming on our way
We will be together at home
Rest on these stones
Never be alone
Never be alone at home

These mounds are waiting 
These mounds are waiting for us
These mounds are waiting
These mounds are waiting for us
These mounds are waiting 
These mounds are waiting for us
These mounds are waiting
These mounds are waiting for us

Deep in the earth where the worms crawl
We will hear their call
Like mother to child

These mounds are waiting 
These mounds are waiting for us
These mounds are waiting
These mounds are waiting for us
These mounds are waiting 
These mounds are waiting for us
These mounds are waiting
These mounds are waiting for us

Beating drums, paralysed
Whole world is spinning
When she comes for your hand you throw your feet in
Though you know we can't hide
What useless feelings
It's a flawless design, no rhyme or reason

These mounds are waiting for us
These mounds are waiting
These mounds are waiting for us
These mounds are waiting
These mounds are waiting 
These mounds are waiting for us
These mounds are waiting
These mounds are waiting for us

Yeah, save my place and keep it cool

Lullaby

So tiny in the earth
Work all day
Tiny in the earth
They don't have much to say
Not really so thoughtless

Worms like us
It ain't so hard to find
Worms like us
You don't even have to try
We're all around
Not important to the world, you see
Worms like us

Be the best I know
It can only come and go
Keep my secret low
I'll never know how to grow
This time we're hiding from the world

Worms like us
It ain't so hard to find
Worms like us
You don't even have to try
We're all around
Not important to the world, you see
Worms like us

Beautiful and free, you promised me
That we would be all we could be
No matter how strong, how kind, how smart
You're just worms like us

Worms like us
It ain't so hard to find
Worms like us
You don't even have to try
We're all around
Not important to the world, you see
Worms like us
