Auld Album Launch Set List

I want to embrace and I want to forgive
and I want to walk blindly at night by the sea 
oh I want you to dance and I need to you to fall 
so that I can prevent you from hitting the floor 
and we will lock eyes and it will make sense 
more sense than I ever thought it would make 
and then life will invert and I will just sing 
aloud the emotions the future will bring 
for this our chance our moment our purpose 
that thing that forever is mentioned in poems 
It's real it's burning its molten with meaning
and I cannot just sit here with all of this feeling

Oh, we want to have it all.

i’ll run and i’ll run away from your call
in fear of what could become of it all
in defiance i’ll stand a humbled young fool
unfurled and unheard of with blood in his shoes
from running and running until my heart fails
which gives an excuse to frantically bail 
the love from my mind in case it impales 
my lungs which are bursting with screams of denial
i’ll run and i’ll run to where i don’t know
break down in a wreck and finally show
the world my true colours a coward i am
for i’m just a boy in the shell of a man.

Oh, we want to have it all.

a moment of peace a dip in the storm
finally i can hear my own thoughts
i go out for a walk and stare at the stars
how tiny we are with our minuscule hearts
and our stories we tell about all our scars
that we got from exploring the nature of love
to be young these days is confusing and hard
with no-one to talk to about growing up
into chaos we fall a nation thats bruised
with a world at our sides it's afflicted with wounds
much deeper and need our attention but fools 
that we are we ignore their desperate calls.

Oh, we wanna have it all.

Night Terrors

we walked hand in hand 
as we talked about anything but about this lie
side by side, lie by lie.
and we talked about who we are
about who we were,
oh we fought to be heard.

we don’t know where were going, 
just as long as we don’t notice, 
that moment that you can’t un-notice, 
that maybe we aren’t aren’t quite so perfect 
maybe we don’t have a purpose, 
maybe she is not the one that, 
makes your heart beat coz you’re nervous, 
in this moment life is worthless, 
that when notice you're depressed, 
your life’s a lie and she’s the mistress.   

oh we walked hand in hand 
and we talked (about anything but about this lie)
side by side, lie by lie.
oh we talked about who we are
we fought for who we are,
we fought to be heard.

Of course you love her (yes you know this.)
you poetic dick, 
you almost blew this,
don’t let the world control you thoughts here 
take your time and return to the moment
go and throw your arms around her 
kiss her (even though the clouds burst)
two soaking souls that are surrounded 
gripped together in the moment.
now throw yourselves against the current
experience this new found love and
remember what you’d forgotten?
remember now how you’d get lost in her?    

we walked hand in hand 
and we talked about anything 
side by side, night by night.
oh we walked.


Riptide

Take from me everything.  All that I can be
Rip from me all that I have. All that I could ever see
and hide my eyes, let lies decide.
To live or die?

The tide doesn’t wait (In terms of your fate).

It’s all too much for me, 
the amount of all the everything.
Too many people to appease.
Not enough to a-breathe with.

Take from me; words and things when heard give clarity.
Pass over-turned and hurled then burned into the sea. 
Designed to hide, resigned to life.

The tide doesn’t wait (in terms of your fate).

it’s all too much for me, the amount of all the everything.
Too many people to agree.
Not enough to a-breathe with.

Is this really all we have? Every last drop?
And after that what, we fade out into the void once more?
And then what, we laugh in the dark and we barter for the light or pray to gods?
Or do we hang our hats and deal with the fact that what we had was all there was?

Time doesn’t wait, and I’m so awake.

It’s all too much for me, the amount of all the everything.

Void

I tried to write a song,
But it was way too long,
And out of time,
Out of tune,
For who we were. 

Oh I tied my heart upon
A post and left it way too far from hope.
It fell and now its broken, hell.

Hell, I hope its over now, 
It’s new, it's brave, it's feeling truthful 
Out of nothing, out its burning through.

My darling white has blossomed, hell
I’ve found it, hell I’ve made it through 
The dark, the black, the lonely hell,
The honest hours screaming out.
My heart has powers that I never knew.
My eyes have only eyes for you my love,
And I am dying to embrace this madness, see it through.

The end is sadness, the end is dark.
The end is madness, the end is far away. 
I’ll gladly give it all.
With you at my side I’ll grow old.
An ode to all the lonely hearts 
And place myself among the stars
Who found the gap, who found their 'hand'
Outstretched and now who understand
Why my song was out tune and oh so long.
I cannot put to music
How I breathe for you.

Oh I tried to write a song
But it was way too long
And out of time
Out of tune
For who we were 

Oh I tied my heart upon
A post and left it way too far from hope
It fell and now its broken, hell.

M1mD NAp (PART 4)

Time.

Oh my Lilly,
How are you now?

Don’t be silly,
I am through howling.

How’d you do it?
How’d you take my heart?
How’d you do it?
How’d you make it burn? 

Time.

You opened your heart and you made it mine.
Let there be sparks, let us set alight.
I’ve fallen in love and it feels so right.

For the Hell of It

How'd You Do It?

As I was standing there 
in a trance, her golden hair 
took me over heels i want to care 
i want to feel, unfurl, shake up the world 

should i run to her?
should i lay it all down now, run to her?
it’s thundering now 

let it come down 

caught under a swell I’m drowning and loving the fall 
surrounded by all of the fools who’ve found it  

my lightning girl inbound 
caught up in the swirl, heart pounding.
I never felt this before I found it.

my lightning lady.
have you seen us lately?
my lightning lady.

caught up it the whirling romantic
I blur to it all, it surrounds me.
i drift with the tide, I’m dumfounded
(aware of it all, it confounds me)

the thunder 
the warning signs
the lack of a safety line
exposing my oldest lies

my lightning lady.
have you seen us lately?
my lightning lady.
 
Oh how could this fool love a thunder like me?
Burning me brighter than I ever have been.
How could this fool love a thunder like me?
Burning so bright, she’s my lightning queen.   

My lightning lady.

How'd You Do It?
