You cut your nose just to keep me out
Don’t you know i’m not a parasite
Give me time and you’ll see i’m right
All I want is just a chance to share my light
Walk through the desert, and all you’ll see is stone
only stone, only stone, only stone
Walk through the desert, i’d rather on my own, in my home
Do you think this is just your home
memory’s short if you think they were alone
Did they come and run along the cool white sand
when your family found this ancient pleasant land
Walk through the desert and all you’ll see is stone
only stone, only stone, only stone
Walk through the desert, i’d rather on my own, in my home
Campaign smears, these are the lies that form our assumptions
Feed our fears, they polarise and seal our seclusion
and they do, and they do
so realise we can do better, and we do
Reading a page won’t tell the chapter
Walk through the desert and all you’ll see is stone
only stone, only stone, only stone
Walk through the desert i’d rather on my own, it’s my home

Little Phoenix

I come from the sea
and the fire burnt and broken
Hold on, little soldier
Be still we will mend you
My coat is now in need of many feathers
so I can fly and die one more time
You’ll rise from the ashes
Fly fly little Phoenix
Be brave petite anglais
We know you’ll be fine one day
Sleep now little soldier
Hush now and be swept away

We go but it’s okay we don’t matter
We live, we die but it’s no dark matter
You wear your jeans but they wear you it’s funny
You’re just a vehicle built to spread and scatter
You’re my survival machine
You’re my survival machine
Betrayed by chemicals we howl at the moon
They lie and cheat to make us run faster
You wear your jeans but they wear you it’s funny, it's cool
W're just the cogs in one big wheel of fortune
You’re my survival machine
My 42, my 42
You’re my survival machine
My 42, my 42
You’re my survival machine
My 42, my 42
You’re my survival machine
My 42, my 42
You won’t believe where I’ve been
And all that I have seen
Eternal is my name
The everlasting flame
Survival machine

Safe in Knowing

Dying’s the here and now
We’re not alone we’re not alone we’re not alone
We’re bleeding but who knows how
We’re not alone, we’re not alone, we’re not alone
Safe in knowing
There’s no doubt
We’re so special
Feel our muscles
Wherever the line is drawn
You know they feel as much
We’re not alone, we’re not alone, we’re not alone
Trees are bending
Take their leaves and keep them flying
sending them two by two
We looked to this for all our sins
Deliver us from evil
The spirit of theirs go down
We looked to this for all our sins
Deliver us from evil
Safe in knowing
There’s no doubt
Birds will tell you
Beasts will lead you
And justify the lions roar
The teeth are sharp for biting more
Then apple pie and Seitan steaks
His rep on all of our mistakes
How long how long
Safe in knowing that we’re wrong

Song to You
02:38

And when you leave tomorrow
It’ll be alright and then you’ll see
Flames coalesce when they’re allowed to breathe
This is my song to you
Still windchimes show it’s true
Out of time
And when we leave tomorrow
It’ll be alright and then you’ll see
Love is all around
cos he is light, as air can be
Time will pass
Rivers run fast
Falls will draw
Instincts claw
All that’s passed
And all it is tomorrow's
A place for you, a place for me
A box still full of memories
And all that he can be

Love's Suite

What is this I’m bleeding
Helpless in the flow
Deep dark petals bursting out
Forever show, my love, love, love
My love, love, love, my love
You’ve got to hide your love
You’ve got to hide your love
Love love love love love, ahhh
Love love love love love, ahhh
Sail on love, so you fly
Choke on love
Love is dying
Love is dying
Sail on love
Choke on love
Share your love don’t try to hide it
Share your love don’t try to hide it
Share, share
Love, Love
Deep dark petals bursting out
What is this I’m feeling
Deep dark petals bursting out
What is this I’m feeling

Who are you and what are you thinking
Where are you on big bears and drinking
How old are you,
Should be at school if you think that’s good behaviour
Who do you love,
And who do you love
Who do you love,
and who do you love more than you
Say can you stop all the bleating
One angry bird all puffed up and tweeting
Since you came some truth is fake
And mostly it is fleeting
Who do you love,
And who do you love
Who do you love,
and who do you love more than you
Like your girls bold brush and busty
Shame they’re not also trustworthy
Can’t have your way
Pay them all off, because Jesus thinks it’s funny
Who do you love,
And who do you love
Who do you love,
and who do you love more than you

Old Fears

Old fears live here
I'm Holding on for daylight
They never leave I'll never be free
Just change shape and fool me
Falling, soaring, skipping beats
That's what I feel and that's what I am
Round and round it goes
It never goes
We're all broken one way or another
When nothing's real for all it's appeal
The fear turns in on itself
Turning and twisting and rising up inside
It multiplies and suffocates.
Round and round it goes
It never goes
