Keeping your head down, and moving along
What will you leave to this world
These fictions and false memories
Will be your sole legacy
Had your famines and you had your feasts
Locked your lessons away
Now bring those stories along
We’ll weave them together and make them strong
Do you look behind my friend
Do you look ahead
And see the end
(Are we) centred
Are we balanced
Is there all that much that we can comprehend
Bury me next to the storyteller
Lift and then break my heart
That’s the way to beat eternity
Whisper those stories to me
Do you look behind my friend
Do you look ahead
And see the end
(Are we) centred
Are we balanced
Is there all that much that we can comprehend
Holding my breath for the storyteller
So truth won’t take it apart
That’s the way to beat eternity
Those stories will outlive you and me
Do you look behind my friend
Do you look ahead
And see the end
(Are we) centred
Are we balanced
Is there all that much that we can comprehend
Do you look behind my friend
Do you look ahead
And see the end
(Are we) centred
Are we balanced
Is there all that much that we can comprehend

Ink

Things that drive you, they drive me too
Black and the white, red and the blue
Things that you want, I want them more
Adrift on the reef and you wash ashore
Your sympathy doesn’t make me strong
A focus on the pain and what went wrong
Rock and the island out of reach
So this is how it ends
Flash of swords, a flourish of pens
Scars are your anchor to the past
So hold them close and make it last
Your sympathy doesn’t make me strong
A focus on the pain and what went wrong
Rock and the island out of reach
And I feel it in the air
Although I lost the edge somewhere
Now I know your plan of attack
It’s written in ink and it’s etched on your back
Suitcase left by the side of the road
Can’t take it with you where you go
Pull is strong but you just can’t leave
Drawn in the outline of what you believe
Your sympathy doesn’t make me strong
A focus on the pain and what went wrong
Rock and the island out of reach
And I feel it in the air
Although I lost the edge somewhere
Now I know your plan of attack
It’s written in ink and it’s etched on your back
And I feel it in the air
Although I lost the edge somewhere
Now I know your plan of attack
It’s written in ink and it’s etched on your back

Have It Out With You
03:59
|

I’ve got a clock, ticking in my head
And I’ve been playing a loop, of all the things you said
I’ve been falling down, on all the things I have to do
My train of thought’s been crowded out by thoughts of you
I’m searching for that place of peace and satisfaction
I’m looking at your face and gauging your reaction
Silence has this way of dampening down the passion
Paralysing Action
Guess I’ll never - have it out with you
Have you got an ember, still glowing in your heart
Is she fanning the flames, or pouring water on to keep you apart
And am I kidding myself, that all of this still matters to you
Cause you can’t help what you feel, but you sure as hell can help what you do
I’m searching for that place of peace and satisfaction
I’m looking at your face and gauging your reaction
Silence has this way of dampening down the passion
Paralysing Action
Guess I’ll never - have it out with you
I tell myself it really doesn’t matter now
I tell myself one day I will figure it out
And you might take me home
But history has shown
Even when I get you on your own
I’ll never - have it out with you

Miss You
04:07

Sitting down now, I feel so strange
And I want you here, I want you here to stay, with me
And I count the days, the days that you’re away
No sense of the future, when you live in yesterday
And I miss you
I miss you
Yeah I miss you
You
Lying all alone, sending signals through the walls
Can you hear me, are you picking up my thoughts
Just killing time now, waiting every day
No sense of the future, when you live in yesterday
And I miss you
I miss you
Yeah I miss you
You
Walking aimlessly, thought I saw your face
Chasing patterns, as a way to catch your trace
Your voice inside my head, tells me what to say
No sense of the future, when you live in yesterday
And I miss you
I miss you
Yeah I miss you
You
And I miss you
I miss you
Yeah I miss you
You
And I miss you
You

Here On Earth

The mistake is thinking you’ve got forever
Until the day you find forever’s gone
The words you didn’t say
Lost all their context
Waiting for the moment took too long
Fight the dark
Catch the spark
Push through the distance to make your heart speak
Heard an echo of the world you came from
Stopped to cut a stone right from my shoe
Cost of delusion, higher than it’s worth
Some dreams aren’t possible here on earth
Caught a glimpse of where you went to
Stopped to tip the sand out of my shoe
Cost of delusion, higher than it’s worth
Some dreams aren’t possible here on earth
Fight the dark
Catch the spark
Push through the distance to make your heart speak
The mistake is thinking you could do anything
Until the day you can’t do much at all
The things you didn’t do
Lost all their purpose
Standing still so you wouldn’t fall
Fight the dark
Catch the spark
Push through the distance to make your heart speak
Heard an echo of the world you came from
Stopped to cut a stone right from my shoe
Cost of delusion, higher than it’s worth
Some dreams aren’t possible here on earth
Fight the dark
Catch the spark
Push through the distance to make your heart speak

Still Listening
03:06

It seemed so hard for you
To work it all through
Nothing you could do
Now there’s no holding back
Saw when you faded out
The darkness and the doubt
You found your own way out
You’re the one who stayed on track
I saw your light come on again
I know the fire burns
But I still hear your whispering
Do you know I’m listening
I’m still here... listening
You know it’s hard for me
To withstand scrutiny
You changed so easily
To be what they think you are
I can’t fight that force
Just makes it all worse
Should take a different course
Life would never be too hard
I saw your light come on again
I know the fire burns, the only way to learn
But I still hear your whispering
Do you know I’m listening
I’m still here... listening
I saw your light come on again
I know the fire burns, the only way to learn
But I still hear your whispering
Do you know I’m listening
I’m still here... listening
I’m still here listening
Are you still listening

Intensity (Bonus Track)

How many mornings arrive too early
How much noise can go in my head
How many times will you forgive me
Not sure what I deserve
What are you fighting now?
What are you fighting now?
Intensity
I can’t turn it down
How many moments can pass by
How many more things go unsaid
How much patience will you show me
Not sure what I deserve
What are you fighting now?
What are you fighting now?
Intensity
I can’t turn it down
The way you give that makes me humble
The way you lead that takes me there
The child inside that keeps the wonder
Not sure what I deserve
What are you fighting now?
What are you fighting now?
Intensity
I can’t turn it down
What are you fighting now?
What are you fighting now?
Intensity
I can’t turn it down
