Still Ones
03:22
|

Stillness comes and goes
it wanes and grows
a wind might blow
and see you falling to your knees
and so it goes
a winter rose shines through the snow
but what of those
where do the still ones go
do they diverge as they submerge and let it go
trying to turn it around
trying to make sense of the ground
is that the way it is
the paint don't drip, your landscape sticks
and so it goes
a winter rose shines through the snow

Her Through The Trees
04:34
|

Under a pale light you saw her through the trees
draped half knowingly like she'd been waiting for you to see
now you see her when you go to sleep
there's not much you can do to keep yourself away
she makes you who you wanna be
and starlight made you too
but now she's changing and her light starts to fade
so you say bye bye baby, I'll be on my way
You were thirsty and you came to a fountain for a while
but your hands were dirty and it was the nearest thing by
you saw a lady made of stone
bathing naked and alone but she was peaceful
she had walked through forests overgrown and creeping
and in a tight embrace you shone a torch into her face now
bye bye baby, I can't bear to stay
She was drawn to you like a bee to a plastic flower
didn't have to come to you but you held the mirror higher
and she was poised to look at you
to look at her, to come unglued
does that scare you 'cause it should
still you came knocking at the wood
let me in
'cause I'm cracking too
let me crack with you
I'll do the best that I can do
You were perfect til I looked into your eyes and found mine

Display Kitchen
04:56
|

|
Wandering through display kitchens
what a fine array to show me what I'm missing in my life
in a palette of varying shades of off-white
I step on through
I'm a lawyer, now an architect
I'll host a party and I'll make sure that my mark is left this time
as I spill out onto crisp lines chrome finishes
cause the wine diminishes my self doubt
I was always left out as a child
so I let my mind run wild
Take me on from this
I just want your promises
wash away the ugly bits
like you put away the dishes
In the bedroom filled the drawers
with clothes that'll never be worn
so I can imagine what it's like to adorn my body
in peach, grey
wake up in the morning with a smile on my face
and come home to a man who will slide his arms round my waist
and say hey
been a long day
and I'll take him to the night
and show him what it's like when I'm a wife
no-one gets to go near the space we made in here
no-one gets to go near my love
Just take me on from this
I just want your promises
wash away the ugly bits
like you put away the dishes
Cause all my life I looked up to what I knew
as what I was supposed to do
like there was one then there were two
and in this space we thrive
honey where you been, no alibis
I can't try to summarise you
but I just know that I'll come home and find you tangled up
with your eyes black, mouth agape
and I'll never, ever ever ever
forget the shape of her

What Will We Be
03:08
|
|||
|
Looking forward chasing the next thing
Saturday's corner
stuck in the daydream rolling on
rolling on
cause we boomed and we swooned at the shiny shiny things
then we turned to ourselves and we said to the world
look at me
oh what will we be
oh what will we do
I replaced my wardrobe today
I replaced my whole wardrobe today
thousands and thousands of litres of water
for dozens and dozens of meters to adorn me for a while
and shroud my eyes as the waters rise
shroud my eyes as the waters rise
we have seen the first splash of a stone that skips
first crash of a peg that slips
first blush in a sea of faces looking on at it
fingertips are tingling reaching to the walls they're in
pushing just a little bit
so what will we be
so what will we do

Dreamer, Shimmer Away
04:26
|
|||
|
I lost myself
I waited still
for a glimmer to arrive
I know it will
But dreamer, shimmer away
dreamer, shimmer away
And the ship's light cuts knifelike
through the cold night
and I'm not going nowhere
I'm not going
I lost myself
I know it well
I always do this to myself
I always sacrifice my shell
Oh darling won't you look at me
I can't take this uncertainty
but I'll buckle down when I should leave
And the ship's light cuts knifelike
through the cold night
and I'm not going nowhere
I'm not going
I'm so tired and afraid of being made to feel this way again
But now I'm going
I'm going dadada...
