[Verse 1] A shame upon shame I’m adding up the silence With the lines on my face, on my face They drag through the lake Another body off the ballast It’s all blow and decay, and decay [Pre-Chorus] I’m not safe, I’m not safe I’m not safe, I’m not safe [Chorus] Cast aside our hopes at night And just hold each other If help arrives, they’ll never...Learn More

[Verse 1] Cards I litter in your home If you’ve read one, you’ve read them all I wish you well, I’m here to talk But sympathy is nothing more than People lifting weight from chests Feeling like they’ve tried their best But I can feel the cold pretence Please just don’t let us be next [Chorus] Cause we’re living with a white noise Settled all the...Learn More

[Verse 1] We don’t need a reason anymore We do unto thy neighbour We will settle any score And we don’t feel the shame Cause we know his name [Verse 2] But you don’t have faith in anything Said anyone who prays must have a secret deep within And they can’t love themselves So they might as well Change [Verse 3] Cut your dress when you were...Learn More

[Verse 1] Do you just want to be with someone Or do you want to be with me? I know you’ve had your troubles So I won’t interfere with your sleep I only see you when you’re lonely You only see me on my knees I’m always begging for rain But I am never dressed appropriately [Pre-Chorus] But I die hopeful That you are coming home to me Your voice...Learn More

Two kisses are drawn On a record sleeve Giving light to words That couldn't be more bleak You cut a line in your arm So that you can breathe It's not a cry for help But it's help you need Taught to never be proud Or to over reach Letting guilt reside Where hope should be I didn't open your eyes But I heard you speak I'm not afraid she cried I'm...Learn More

[Verse 1] You returned from the war All freckles and fright Said it’s calm before dawn But you just screamed names in the night [Pre-Chorus] And you are more a man than I could be I can’t watch you pick away the seam [Chorus] Now are you looking for God? Or will you soldier on? I watched you grip your cross I heard the door slide along [Verse...Learn More

[Verse 1] We have lines of invisible scars And they glimmer with time They glow in the dark Spent half our lives making maps in dim light Trying to find someone’s parallel marks [Verse 2] But this is not science or maths Sometimes lines look the same on two different graphs But the axis is wrong, so the numbers won’t add And it’s hard to accept...Learn More

[Verse 1] The wind beat your father’s face Every mark with it’s own embrace I’m here but I won’t replace How could I anyway? Those times bred a harder man A post-war child living mouth to hand Build of granite and grit and sand But time erodes [Pre-Chorus] You brought in your lines On hooks you made together Thin metal bent, intertwined Stale...Learn More

[Verse 1] The best of friends So I hope you know That I've been looking for a reason to let go Of all the years You stayed afloat But the raft is losing inches Supplies are running low [Pre-Chorus] You say I dress well for a man for my age But there’s no one to miss me, near in my grave And that song I remember as I drift away [Chorus] The...Learn More

[Verse 1] Stolen your prime Your thoughts slip by Wasted and tired Of jagged edges and sides Stains on this coat From staggering home Nothing to show For misplaced effort and hope [Pre-Chorus 1] And the floor is ringing out now Cause I’m afraid how my voice sounds Start the words that the drunk are This is not me Another night another world...Learn More

[Verse 1] My body is defeating itself And I don’t know why It’s a war of attrition and I’m losing to both of the sides I prayed to a God when I knew That I had no right I denounced my faith As a child of science and sacrifice [Verse 2] I have not heard my voice In such a long time It’s a sound I do not know The tone unrecognised I’ll push out...Learn More

[Verse 1] Black tie, full house As the sorries pour out every mouth They’ll cry and we’ll go Their faces will show We’re alone [Pre-Chorus] Composed ourself with us Memories are old but they exist So you existed [Chorus] When your eyes fell closed We were terrified, oh With your hands, so cold No not a fucking sign of life Did you hear when we...Learn More
