State the facts cold and hard
Please don't beat around the bush
Say the words, but don't you go
Getting tangled up in someone's universe

Oh I'll keep holding on to the rope
But you left its grip long ago
Let me drift, let me float away

Cos now it's time to say goodbye
To part our ways
You'll stay in my heart and in my mind always
I won't forget your eternal grace

Dropped into the woods
Making friends with the bears and wolves
They say the leaves stay grey, the darkness never fades
But walking down a hidden road
I see the things I should have known
The things that kept me from the straight and narrow

Cos now it's time to say goodbye
To part our ways
You'll stay in my heart and in my mind always
I won't forget your eternal grace

Time

You know you want it
Want it melting in your hands
You know you want it
Want to smell sweet comfort in your lap
You want it
Need it to fill your ears with compliments
Oh you see it, you see it, you see it dissolve your tears

Oh you shiver
You're dripping with delight
Disturbing chatter disintegrates before your eyes
Refrain from letting it devour you whole
Even in your slumber, you want it, you want it, you want it all

Just a bit more
Just a bit more
Til I can feel
My heart beating again

Without you near me
I tremble at the thought of losing anymore
You make me sane
Help me keep score
When I'm in doubt, you smooth it out
You don't jump overboard

I want it all
I want it all
Til I can feel
My heart beating

Cleanse me
No more you
Clean break
I want to relinquish this perpetual thirst
This unstable curse
Untangle me

She'll Know How It Goes

So the story goes
Again, again
She has lost her mind
She's not a shred
Of hope to see her through
Her through the night
But I'll stand by her side
Ensure she's alright, she's alright, she's alright

Chase them down the street
Or lie alone
When she's found her feet
She'll know how it goes
But for now
I will have her back
I will share the load
Make a map, direct her home, her home, her home

So the story goes
Again, again
She has lost her mind
She's not a shred
Of hope to see her through
Her through the night
But I'll stand by her side

She'll Know How It Goes

Before I dream
She secretly visits me
Night after night
I pine for her green cloudy eyes
And sandalwood
The soothing hands
That rub my back til

I sleep, I sleep, I sleep, I sleep, I sleep

Vanishing in a blink
My senses recall
Her everything
That heavy feeling washes over me
Tears on her cheek tumble
On her neck as she kisses me farewell

She knows, she knows, she knows, she knows
She must go

I Sleep

You keep it in your pocket
Scrunched in a ball so tight
You've squashed it down, deep, so deep
So many times, you forget it's there
Sometimes a tiny memory
Unlocks the spell, the flame ignites
You catch a glimpse, you notice it
Anxiety and fear re-unite

But you don't let it overtake you
You agree to see it through
But this burden, it will haunt you
You don't let it overtake you
You agree to see it through
But this burden, it will haunt you

When all is still and quiet
The guilt burns you to your bones
But you ignore it
You kick it, fight it, you're on your own
To keep your sanity
To run from the reality
But who are you hiding from
You're chasing bullets from a loaded gun

But you don't let it overtake you
You agree to see it through
But this burden, it will haunt you
You don't let it overtake you
You agree to see it through
But this burden, it will haunt you, it will haunt you

You keep it in your pocket, you keep it in your pocket
You keep it in your pocket, you keep it in your pocket
Scrunched up in a ball, you keep it in your pocket
You don't let it overtake you, you agree to see it through

Your Burden

Lyrics:
When I fall apart
It's your arms, I want to encase me
Carry my ruptured heart
Take it gently in your sweltering hands
I feel it in my blood, indulge me
I'm centred here with you
Cement in my bones

Harmonise my vessel
Match each breath
Colour in my vessel
Unfold me through and through
Memorise my edges corners
I won't move

I can't be sure it's you
It's you I'm meant to desire
I'm not liar, I'm just trying to filter through
The mounts of dirt, the piles of dust
Whispers, shouts, echoing my deepest doubts
But right now I want to take you in
I want to breathe you in

Harmonise my vessel
Match each breath
Colour in my vessel
Unfold me through and through
Memorise my edges corners
I won't move

I Won't Move

Bathe me now
Cover me now
Chant over me now

I want to glow
I want to show you
What I am

This sticky air
Is overbearing
So hold me down, help me drown
Into myself

I am poison
A febrile body
Flush the toxins

Dispose of them now
In a barrel
Oh, I've been found

I was rotting 
You shaved it off me
Now hold me down
Watch me drown
Into myself, into myself, into myself

Into Myself

Ruminating I know won't get me far
Oh I know
But my blood's still warm
My flesh excruciatingly torn

Each strand of hair's been pulled from my head
My body is aching and red and won't repair just yet, just yet

Oooo

Old school values so mature
Articulate and self assured
But the demons want to play their games
And you got in the way
You threw your heavy words in my face
Left me bruised and in the same place
For months and months to come

Oooo

Ruminating I know won't get me far
Oh I know
I know
