I put it down I put it down to miscommunication Don't dream too loud, I'll hear from here, disloyal and impatient Please rest assured, don't cry my dear We knew we'd never win We could never change the way we are And it goes round and round each year it's slightly worse, I'm slightly less prepared And the rows of trees are blackened from a scorching summer So I'll give three cheers and hide my fears I guess that's how it goes I put it down I put it down to miscommunication Don't dream too loud, I'll hear from here, disloyal and impatient Please rest assured, don't cry my dear We knew we'd never win We could never change the way we are From the go this traffic always dragged me down Dragged me to my knees Just ignore the hurt, it's red alert, I guess that's how it goes And I know as the days go by they make me shudder He sees her initials in the street signs And they're always taunting, poking, haunting He berates himself for reading between the lines It goes on and on and on until she gets back But the days go like decades and each hour like a year He's up and he's down, he's not moving my dear Beautiful sonnets that won't sound good later he know That desperation is the worst and the worst is yet to come That the line has worked a solid pace, and he's just been outrun You brushed aside, you brushed aside my guarded reservations I looked toward the evening sky and your constant constellations Your hand on the horizon shows your glory from afar We could never change the way we are I put it down I put it down to miscommunication Don't dream too loud, I'll hear from here, disloyal and impatient Please rest assured, don't cry my dear We knew we'd never win We could never change the way we are

Alexander Supertramp, your problems walked you far from home You’ll be the music while the music lasts And when your fortunes fade you’ll find that you are all alone Know this and know it well I... Bury your head and farewell the sky Unseen, unheard, unbelievable And miles away with tears in my eyes My life's my own to make Christopher, your pretty words won’t take me You’re lost at sea, and I was set to sail I’m silent now, but words will come and I will wring them out like rain He’s chasing harder and you’re run run running out of breath Bury your head and farewell the sky And miles away with tears in my eyes If only I could just explain What it feels to be lost In this moment Don’t let me down It’s time to go It’s time to go Don’t let me down It’s time to go It’s time to go Don’t let me down It’s time to go It’s time to go Don’t let me down It’s time to go It’s time to go Don't let me down

It started off with a prayer A prayer that meant something Though it was only ever words But the hurt didn’t fade away that night It finished up with a pause A pause that was bad in the prevailing point of view What to do when the doomsday romance crashes all around? Feeding the workers tasty lies Twenty-four hours through the night Cos racing rats and fighting cats can only go so long Will we ever make it home? I’m calling in a lifeline For a hole that's taking up my insides All aboard yeah all aboard the lifeline It’s coming in the night time It’s coming in the night time And I wish they’d all been ready But instead the day before they washed away They looked around and said Said its all ok Feeding the workers tasty lies Twenty-four hours through the night Cos racing rats and fighting cats can only go so long Will we ever make it home? I think I’ve got such a long way home And I don’t think I’ll make it on my own I think I’ve got such a long way home And I don’t think I’ll make it on my own

Rebellion 04:36
Don’t try and tell me it's all the same like you've never gone Maybe you’ll get there someday And don’t try to tell me it’s all a game that you’ve played and already won You’ve been there before and there’s just nothing left This is not a fairytale Can you afford to to be wrong this time? And if you’re getting nervous, it’s probably just as well This is not a ritual Habits alone won’t save your soul And if you’re getting nervous, it’s probably just as well I wanna end this now If you would let me try I wanna show you how And watch it come to life If they once found true north Magnetically I could roll with the punches and slide with the kicks That leave me dazed confused Haphazardly And if I ever found truth of news too good to keep This is not a fairytale Can you afford to to be wrong this time? And if you’re getting nervous, it’s probably just as well This is not a ritual Habits alone won’t save your soul And if you’re getting nervous, it’s probably just as well You came down to find me here All I want to disappear You came down to find me here Brushed aside my guilt and fear

Windows 02:58
Here I am once again lost in the blindness of my reflection I see you walk outside and the darkness pulls away These mirrors fade to windows And when I’m suddenly alone At any moment I could come undone Cos my conscience fades And you can’t wipe the smile off my face Air up here is thin on my high horse Other people’s problems mar the ground below And when the rain falls don’t you know I love to say I told you so And it’s over The decline you define as a knot to unwind And if you can hear me You might find that it’s just far too far to fall And when I’m suddenly alone At any moment I could come undone Cos my conscience fades And you can’t wipe the smile off my face

Masquerades 03:52
Standing on the brink of disaster Holding hands high Holding hands high Raised eyelids dance with the truth now Floating away Floating away Idols of all sorted colours Tie your eyes shut Tie your eyes shut Since you continue to trust in your riches and deeds Your masquerade won't carry much further Your beauty fades like a fallen flower Soft hands drop the paper shield as I Fight for ground here Fight for ground here Tattered robes lie whistling with the wind as I'm Looking skyward Looking skyward Nothing quenching desert thirst why Do I look here? Do I look here? What makes a man's faith run in and out like the tide? Your masquerade won't carry much further Your beauty fades like a fallen flower
