Lyrics:

Cruel Proposals

Watch me walk away
Cinematic ghosts of thunder
Judas takes the stage
Falls on falls off falls on falls off
Burn out teenage rage
Skinny hands have come of age
Just to raise a smile.
Drowning the witch
Never making the mile

Shrugs,and cruel proposals
No longer at your disposal
Shrugs and cruel proposals
No longer at your disposal.

Been a while since you were born
Been a while since someone took
Your hand and said come on.
I know why you’ve stalled.
The simple reason.
That I was by you all along.

Drugged up midnight raves
Phoenix rising from the thunder
Scarlett letter days.
We’re on we’re off we’re on we’re off
Brought on by the flood.
Incisions found we mixed the blood.
Bottled sold on trial
Never in vain case the spirits beguile 

Shrugs,and cruel proposals
No longer at your disposal
Shrugs and cruel proposals
No longer at your disposal.


CRUEL PROPOSALS

FLY

Impossible
The rain that came to greet you
To terrorise 
Control inform and beat you
The girl that came
She wouldn’t break the sinews
I’m all in rust,to much in love
It creeps you.  

And i don’t want to see you radiate
This awkward silence
When I’m sitting right in front of you 
And your speech turns to violence.
Cause I’m trying to breathe alone again
My siamese sister.
And the angle of your camera lens.
It burns a blister. 



And If that’s what makes you fly
Make a difference to the time
Helps you see between the lines
In the vastness of the night

Implausible 
To take the fruit you gave me
Tastings fine,but you could
Never save me. 
When shadows grip
I think i’m hearing noises
There’s nothing there
Only my bad choices.


AQUARIUS 

I thought i saw you
but it was just a ghost.
It coincides with every time
i’ve tried to hide.
And hands that were pushed away.
but those were the days
an electric pulse wave
shook my body slow.
and you would take
because you loved to watch me break
but now somehow you don't 

And it’s funny how the volume
drove us on that day.
And it’s funny now that you are
ocean’s away.

Aquarius although you wrote no will
Aquarius there’s broken pieces still
Aquarius although you said you’d go
There you are again.

When the water calls me
I know that it’s time I should go
it echoes inside,every lie i’ve tried to hide
when sands of time carry me.
But those were the days
Adolescents ride waves
of truth and facts and lies
and you would take
because you loved to watch me break
but now somehow you don’t.

And it’s funny how the volume
drove us on that day.
And it’s funny now that you are
ocean’s away.

Aquarius although you wrote no will
Aquarius there’s broken pieces still
Aquarius although you said you’d go
There you are again.

And I thought of you again…
each time it hails i play those
tapes you made. 
analogue sound waves
oh those days.


AQUARIUS

As he gives you pieces
of the locket that you had
thrown away.
As well as his tested methods
to cement the day.
But as the motor engine
gives up on the car
You say you’ve never
felt so far.

Deceiving are the lies
that he wants to say to you
and barren are his eyes
so you can tell it’s true
from the centre of his
brain mans disposition 
is to leave and roam.

She is not a song
or a melody to hang
your words on.
Your thought out
love is not sincere
There’s a ship that’s lost
among the wreckage
of a thousand love songs
of which i’ll protect
from you.

As he gives you pieces
of the charms that you
had thrown away
a hair pin, jewellery box
with pictures held within.
But as it comes to the point
of inviting you back home
You say you never sleep alone

Deceiving are the lies
that he wants to say to you
and barren are his eyes
so you can tell it’s true
from the centre of his
brain mans disposition 
is to leave and roam.

She is not a song
or a melody to hang
your words on.
Your thought out
love is not sincere
There’s a ship that’s lost
among the wreckage
of a thousand love songs
of which i’ll protect
from you.
