Lyrics:
Right next to where I first kissed a girl
Junky on the stairs, a ghost in daylight
In a crowded street, where the walls are leaning in
A building left built and a building left empty.

Flicker of anger as the words slip out
The darkness of pain and the dance of self-doubt
I had a friend that had a fear of losing out
Gave it up all the same and watched them lay about

I crossed the woman with the Nazi son
and I climbed the hill where the artists begun
How could they live in the same little street?
A building left built and a building left empty.

Daylight & Dust

Lyrics:
"I want you flat on your back, helpless, tender, open. With only me to help."

You're reborn in the summertime
The sun comes back around 
when your hand's in mine

Should've stayed til the evening
But owing you nothing 
means everything

I couldn't sleep but I felt fine
I'll commit crime, I'll be on time
I couldn't sleep but I felt fine
I'll commit crime, I'll be on time

"And I want you strong again. You may wish you're going to die but you're not going to die. You need to settle down a little."

Walking To The Rocks (Reborn)

Lyrics:
You know I'm coming
To see you
Fall back to my routine
of giving

I know what I'm doing
Again, again, again

I've got this feeling
I don't want
Hold me, I need it
Get away

I know what I'm doing
I know what I'm doing again
Again, again, again, again

Fall Back

Lyrics:
Take me to the water
take me to the sea
let me float with nothing
washing over me

How can I stay here?
I'm telling myself to leave
Salt sucks my past life
underneath

Broke off the island
Part of my body
And my mind followed
this journey

Jumped from the rockpool
fell into the deep
never had the courage
to take it back with me

Rockpool

Lyrics:
I’m tip-toeing along
With the stress held close
Clutched to my chest
Worse than pain, almost

It’s ruining me for you
You’re sweet
and you tell me I am, too

You really messed
My big plan up
Sprinkled your holy water
And made me stop

Talk to me all night
I get scared
but you make it alright

Took me to the lighthouse
Pulled apart the waves
Lit up all the lamps
Turned blue evening to day

I saw a red-haired fawn
So pale and pretty
she kept me warm

Holy

Lyrics:
I remember how it felt to see a friend again
But this don't help
The water's muddy and my god has abandoned me
It just took the opportunity

And all of the indecision and the rivalry
Has settled down on me
And all of the indecision and the rivalry
Has settled down on me
It took two days, and I changed
It took two, to get to you

It took two, to get to you
It took two, to end up with you

Lyrics:
Taping up the gaps
Has never felt this good
I know I should relax
I do it to keep me amused

Stay away, stay away
I can't keep up
Stay away, stay away
I'm wrapping myself up

I could see above the shore
For years I laid indoors
I'm awake and between
The sifting and the seams

I'm over the social swim
The letters wouldn't fit in
Quit tying my down
I'm back to myself

Stress

Lyrics
Finally, something I want
And the candle's gone out
Finally, someone I want
And you're making me laugh

Sitting next to me
And you're making me laugh
Sitting next to me

Lyrics:
Can't you see I'm shaking all over
From the start you stayed sober
I could talk to you every night
But you're never there, and that's alright

I'd stay like this for weeks, tomorrow needs no time for me
I push myself to sleep, while you pull me out to sea
Sun-kissed curtains keep me with you
I need you to kill, I need you to feel that thrill

Lyrics:
I cheated on my soul
Told myself I wasn't in control
I wish you talked more
I do better doing what I'm told

All it did was tell me
Superficial injury
Isn't worth going there
There's a reason I left the sea

And I wanna know the park
And read your writing in the dark
Even if it's from the fridge
I want everything

And I wanna know the park
And read your writing in the dark
Even if it's from the fridge
I want everything

Control (demo)

Lyrics:
I was planning on keeping this down
It got out of hand, the lie got around
I like to keep my movements close to the ground
To me, yeah, close to the ground

Sometimes nothing is ever enough
For the morning January walk
But you pulled me out of my hideout
And you've got me so bad

I was planning on keeping this down
You took my hand, you took me around
I like to keep my movements close to the ground
To me, yeah, close to the ground

Sometimes nothing is ever enough
For the morning January walk
But you pulled me out of my hideout
And you've got me so bad

So bad, so bad

I was planning on keeping this down
It got out of hand, the lie got around
I like to keep my movements close to the ground
To me, yeah, close to the ground
I was planning on keeping this down
You took my hand, you took me around
I like to keep my movements close to the ground
To me, yeah, close to the ground

Movements

Hours

Lyrics:
Do you know where this is?
Going backwards past gravel heaps
Blue and orange all I know
This wasn't a place I thought I'd go

How did you find me?
And am I so special?
Cos I don't feel like it
No I don't feel like it

Is this what it comes to, we stare at the swell
The waves carry us two
You don't need me you can go
Go on back, your smell, the swell, the swell

How did you find me?
And am I so special?
Cos I don't feel like it
No I don't feel like it

The Swell

Lyrics:
I cheated on my soul
Told myself I wasn't in control
I wish you talked more
I do better doing what I'm told

All it did was tell me
Superficial injury
Wasn't worth going there
There's a reason I left the sea

And I wanna know the park
And read your writing in the dark
Even if it's from the fridge
I want everything

And I wanna know the park
And read your writing in the dark
Even if it's from the fridge
I want everything

Control

Lyrics:
I followed you, I followed you
I followed you until you burnt out

I was burnt out too, but I followed you
But I followed you, until you cast me out
Until you cast me out

Until you cast me out
Until you cast me out

Save me, I wasn't born for this
I shouldn't have to tell you how
But I want to help
I wanna put you out, I wanna put you out

I wanna put you out
I wanna put you out

Save me, save me

Burnt Out
