Lyrics:

Your skin it glowed like a neon sign
Drawn in to your bones still luminous
Tubes to bags on a pole at your side 
Couldn't stop our eyes from betraying us

Talking about time
Like it was ever on your side 

They sent you home and let hope ignite
Too young to know what it meant for you
Talk of cells in red and white
We played outside without a clue

So carry on in a straight line
In spite of what you lose
Don't dwell on time that you don't have
Your short life living proof that love, will push us through

I watched the adults faces change
And I knew it was serious
Feigning strength to compensate
For our lack of experience

I never had a place for God
I still don't see where he comes in
Just genetic bad luck and flaws
Took the bravest soul there's ever been

An empty room with curtains drawn
And a feeling so dark
Throbbing ache in our hearts as we dragged on
You showed us how to keep our heads 
Never letting your smile fade
You were only a child,  but you were strong

So carry on in a straight line
In spite of what you lose 
Don't dwell on time that you don't have
Your short life living proof that
You have everything,  if you have anything
Kids to have and years to use
Never out of sight, always in our minds
No ones forgotten you.

Black Tie

Legs and Arms

It's been a LONG time since we locked ourselves in a room and created something new. We've had a blast being back in the studio, and this one means an awful lot.  Tap your feet, nod your head and please don't suffer in silence.  #fearandcontrol

LYRICS

The wind beat your fathers' face
Every mark with it's own embrace
I'm here, but I won't replace
Oh how could I anyway? 

Those times bred a harder man
A post-war child living mouth to hand
Built of granite and grit and sand
But time erodes

And you brought in your lines
On hooks you made together
Thin metal, bent, intertwined
Stale bread in paper bags

Cared not that the days were dark
And the nights no better
Your eye's welled as the boat would start
You could have stayed forever 

You're just breathing out and breathing in
It's all you have it's all you've got to give
I tried to be everything
I couldn't stop these walls from falling in

There's not a memory you haven't lived
There's not a word that I can save you with
Now the silence it is deafening
Must we break ourselves to start again? 

More time, she said
I love you more than life I begged
But I can't read your mind
Oh let's dress up and we can go outside 

Over and over and over 

We can't live like this
The telly, the curtains, our union in bits 
I won't leave you now for the sake of the kids
But you don't see me anymore 

Can't you remember what we were before?

You're just breathing out and breathing in
It's all you have it's all you've got to give
I tried to be everything
I couldn't stop these walls from falling in

There's not a memory you haven't lived
There's not a word that I can save you with
Now the silence it is deafening
Must we break ourselves to start again? 

Broken Oars

Roughcast

This poetry is hard to read
It's prophesizing death for me
A stage prepares for tragedy
A part we played too well this year 

Your turn of phrase is mastery 
You knit and weave a tapestry
But art is subjectivity
I can't appreciate this piece

I'm not sleeping lately
Nothing feels the same way
I'm not sleeping lately
Nothing feels the same 

Acts of kindness and sorry scenes
You were hiding contempt for the life we lead
This is the slow returning arc of misery 
I confided and you agreed 
Said we'd fight it, but this is a losing streak
I have become my father years before I've even been me

Didn't feel the fault lines stirring
Couldn't smell the castle burning
I didn't see the slow decay, the flakes of paint
A bedroom turns from red to grey

And now her hands to my lips
Telling me I don't deserve this
Let's hear another cold cliché, like people change
But a snake will always be a snake
