Morning

I was born
to take you on
to bring you down
I’m alone but loud
I’m a sword
I was forged
I’m the cold dark light
you reach for at night
I’m the dawn
of a new world war
I’m the light
I’m the light
I’m us all
I’m the call
that rings so bright
I’m the light
And oh, mum
I’ve used it all
oh, mum
I’ve used it all
oh, mum
I’ve used it all

An island home
a reputation
a violent hole
a love sick nation
I’m tired of all these resolutions
the time has come for revolution
but your books
they tell a different story
of burned out high school
teenage glory
but they’re all all sung
they’re all sung
A young man dies on television
they buy the rights
to his rare visions
a touch, a kiss, a lifted dress
your life become
just one long mess
until you recognise
there ain’t no glory
and live your angsty
teenage stories
but they’re all sung
they’re all sung

Golden

Golden light
on a golden field
it’s your right
right to feel
with all your heart
with all your heart
Gold and fine
on a golden pill
it’s your time
time to kill
with all your heart
with all your heart
And the sea's rising up
there’s fear
in the eyes of love
and the seas rise
as the tears you cry
well they all add up
Golden light
on a golden field
it’s your right
right to feel
with all your heart
with all your heart

You kill the dreams
of common man
but you never seem
to understand
we’ll follow
Taught to fear
reality when everything
you’ll ever be
you’ve borrowed
but you can’t fight us
if you can’t find us
anywhere
no you can’t fight us
no you can’t fight us
Caught between
the gravity and
the freedom
of insanity
and sorrow
Born no fool
you swim a sea
of ennui
and never greet
tomorrow
tomorrow
And though you grieve
I know you know
And though you believe
I know you know
that you can’t fight us
you can’t find us
no you can’t fight us
you can’t fight us

Moon
04:33
|

Now I’m alright
what do I do
about you
open your eyes
it’s what you lose
that proves
that you
ain’t
the
moon
If I come inside
it ain’t the moves
that you do
you covet your lies
those sad little blues
that you do
but you
are
still
the
moon.

All you’ve taken
taken from me
all you’ve burned out
you’ve burned
out of me
cool it baby
you’re cooler than me
and those mythical eyes
don’t set you free
Sunset’s fading
fading on me
driving downstream
lonelier me
soon pretty baby
we’ll all be free
if the
pyramid eye
just let’s us be.

Trees
04:17
|

The willows
on the water
hang down to play
but feel
a cold misunderstanding
hung dried out
like her tears
the widow’s on the landing
her lover’s buried near
and the trees
are burning gladly
but I won’t cry for you
my love
Your eyes reflect
the water
a river of your fear
not dead
but disillussioned
and savaged by your peers
through the window
left wide open
I spied your resltess heart
now I will
sing it gladly
that I won’t cry for you
my love

I’m ten thousand miles away
still trying
to find a way to you
I saw your lovers in the sea
sing falsetto sounds
of me and you
then I saw seven
golden knights
break free
to be apart from you
and they’re doing this
for you
they’re doing this for you
I’m four million miles away
and still trying
to fly away from you
obey your lovers in the wind
the foreshadowed sounds
of him and you
still I sing every single night
praise be
to feel a part of you
and I’m doing this for you
I’m doing this for you
and on quiet nights
do you scream and fight
do you?
or are you terrified
that it’s all gone?
I’m ten thousand miles away
still trying
to find a way to you
I saw your lovers in the sea
the falsetto sounds
of me and you
still I pray every single night
it’s crazy
just to feel a part of you
and I’m doing this for you
I’m doing this for you
and on quiet nights
do you scream and fight
do you?
or are you terrified
that it’s all gone?
