Rubber Snakes

The last light is getting low

I am slow at letting go

 

Burn after

Burn after

Rubber snakes will take you away

But I don't know if I’m sure

Rubber snakes with terminal haste

Will freeze you to the core

 

They’re turning on you

 

 

[They say we’re]

Irreducible and infinite

I’m just not into it

 

Burn after

Burn after

Rubber snakes will take you away

But I don't know if I’m sure

Rubber snakes with terminal haste

Will freeze you to the core

 

Watching the River Flow

Washing the blood away

And learning to breathe

Scars are the memories

And proof you’ve healed

 

In the ghosts of our memories

You carry the weight

You’ve got to feel it to heal it

And turn it away

 

We’ve been right here

We’ve been right here

 

You’ve just got to hold on

Watching the river flow

You’ve just got to hold on

Watching the river flow

 

Washing in the water

You run into the sea

Lying in the sinking sand

You send yourself to sleep

​

The silent sun will shine upon

Another sun drenched day

You wait until you’re ready

To chase these ghosts away

 

We’ve been right here

We’ve been right here

 

You’ve just got to hold on

Watching the river flow

You’ve just got to hold on

Watching the river flow

 

Taking Down the Night

You’re standing out here on your own

You wonder what it is that’s begun

You question everything you‘ve known

You think that every song has been sung

 

You will still be standing

In the morning

The sun will rise

And out where you were falling

You were taking down the night

 

You’re turning at night inside your dreams

You’re waking at night when you should be asleep

The night is broken and time is a lie

You’re waiting for the day to come alive

 

You will still be standing

In the morning

The sun will rise

And out where you were falling

You were taking down the night

 

You will still be standing

In the morning

The sun will rise

And out where you were falling

You were taking down the night

You will still be standing

In the morning

The sun will rise

The sun will shine on

 

What Goes Around, Comes Around

I’ve been here

I’ve been here for so long

Trying to find

Find out what went wrong

 

I’ve been here

I’ve been here for so long

Trying to find

Find out what went wrong

 

[All dressed up with somewhere to go

You are dressed up in indigo

Take the boat

The moon is low

No-one sees and no-one knows

No-one knows where to go

We sail over the undertow]

 

They’re firing up the dark sky

They’re lighting up the town

What goes around, comes around

Illuminating the hard sky

What goes up must come down

What goes around, comes around

 

I’ve been here

I’ve been here for so long

I’ve been here

I’ve been driving headlong

I’ve been here

I’ve been trying to get gone

​

[All dressed up with somewhere to go

You are dressed up in indigo

Take the boat

The moon is low

No-one sees and no-one knows

No-one knows where to go

We sail over the undertow]

 

They’re firing up the dark sky

They’re lighting up the town

What goes around comes around

Illuminating the hard sky

What goes up must come down

What goes around come around

 

We Are Everything I Hoped You’d Never Be

It’s nothing short of dying in your sleep

Waking sleeping lions just to feed

Commuters on a soulless train at night

Flying over bridges out of time

 

At the brink of our extinction

Sitting in the kitchen

Yeah!

 

We are all made up of holes

We are everything I hoped you’d never be

We live in disappearing worlds

We are landlocked by our need to be free

 

Once I had a name

I had a name

Now buried in a sleeping paupers grave

 

In the currency of cruelty, you’re catching clouds

Strong words softly spoken far too loud

 

At the brink of our extinction

Sitting in the kitchen

Yeah!

 

We are all made up of holes

We are everything I hoped you’d never be

We live in disappearing worlds

We are landlocked by our need to be free
