Silent Suburbia
VERSE 1

I’ve always lived 
By the rule
Patience leads to
Greatness if you 
Make it round the bend
Or the next bend
Or the next bend
But everything I know
Says there is only road
Without an end, without an end
Oh it’s everything I’ve ever known

CHORUS
Everything I know
Flies in the face of hope
But still I go down that road
Still that spark 
Lights up the dark
Even if I can’t see very far
All the way down the road
I go

VERSE 2
I’ve always loved
Without rules
Loved with wild 
Abandon, it’s cliche  
But it’s my way
The only way
The only way
But a heart so open
Is likely to get broken
Again and again
Oh it’s everything I have ever known

BRIDGE

I can’t give up and I can’t give in
The only way forward is through
I can’t give up and I can’t give in
Though it seems so easy to do
That simple spark
Won’t give way to the dark
When I feel frail
I wait for that blessed betrayal 


ENDING
Everything I know 
Flies in the face of hope
Still I go 
Down that twisting, turning, winding, endless road

Stuck

VERSE 1
You are, you’re the answer to my prayers
You are, you’re the beacon in the dark
You are very possibly the best thing to happen to me

CHORUS
I know all these things
I just don’t know how to let you in

VERSE 2
I am, I’m the wounded soldier
I am, I’m the echo of the lark
I am an island in my own private reverie

VERSE 1
You are, you’re the answer to my prayers
You are, you’re the beacon in the dark
You are very possibly the best thing to happen to me

CHORUS
I know all these things
I just don’t know how to let you in

VERSE 2
I am, I’m the wounded soldier
I am, I’m the echo of the lark
I am an island in my own private reverie

Wonder

VERSE 1

Darkness falls all around us
We see it
We feel it
We breathe it
Darkness seeps out of the shadows
Darkness seeps out of the shadows
We wrap ourselves in it
It’s the fashion of the day
Wrap ourselves up in it
To blend in and fade away

CHORUS

Small wonders never cease to take my breath away
Small wonders scattered through the darkest of days
So take up your rose-tinted glasses and
Chin up until darkness passes
Let the small wonders give you strength through the fray


VERSE 2

Darkness falls all around us
We see it
We feel it
We breathe it
A fear of the fight that surrounds us
A fear of the change that is boundless
We think we’ve hit our limit
And forget how to be brave
Fiercely nurture our limits
Never learning to be brave

CHORUS

Small wonders never cease to take my breath away
Small wonders scattered through the darkest of days
So take up your rose-tinted glasses and
Chin up until darkness passes
Let the small wonders give you strength through the fray

ENDING

I jump head first into shadows
To dispel all their powers
I love so I can go on, though never quite the same
Small wonders are the blood in my veins

Wonder

Never Again

VERSE 1
Never again
Pretending you’re what I need
Never again
Pretending you are my heart or the air that I breathe
Never again
Pretending you are the answer I seek

CHORUS 1
You’re a question
Not an answer, my friend
No beginning
You’re just an end
So never, never again

VERSE 2
Never again
Pretending you’re the truth I believe
Never again
Pretending you are the god that can set me free
Never again
Pretending you have a right to my destiny

CHORUS 2
You’re a bump in the road
Not a journey’s end
No salvation
You’re just sin
So never, never again

BRIDGE
Love
Not love
I’ve broken the spell now you’re just a memory
And I’m free

Never Again

The Nordic Music Review (March 2017)

"...the vocals are striking and poetic, whilst the overall sound is carefully constructed, with so much to listen to in the detail. 'Stuck' is an obvious stand out track, but I also like 'Never Again', partly for the apparent use of a slightly warped atonal violin." Nordic Music Review - March 2016
