Bound & Buried

I guess it would be nice
To have a second chance at life
Instead of floating down the Clyde
I guess it would
I guess it would
To be bound and buried
Bound and buried
I guess I'll float back to life someplace
Before all the bullshit that ever took place
But could you tell me one thing you might remember about me?
I guess you can't
We'd better try
Before I'm bound and buried
Bound and buried
For now, I'll just turn back around
Hold my place
Just hold my place
Just hold my place
Just hold my place
For as long as I breathe
I'm afraid to die

The Flicker & The Flame
03:53
|
|||
|
I see the light cut across your face
From the bedroom window
A fractured portrait of mankind
We won't live this down
Don't flinch
This won't hurt a bit
Hear that sound
HEAR THAT SOUND?
I'll never forget it!
There's nothing but hate on the radio since the blinds came down
We live between the flicker and the flame
We live between the flicker and the flame

Our walls have collapsed
With the weight of darkness
Every brick carved out of red mist
Everything our mouths is heartless
And we cling to the dirt like trees
You used to be a good human
What happened?
You need a soul but a soul alone
Does not a human make
You need a heart
Morlas and lessons learned
From your mistakes
Then we go on pretending
Like this didn't happen again
Am I not speaking English
I guess you'll never understand
I'm unable to speak your language
Not that you'll hear us
With your lungs made of sand
You used to be a good friend
What happened?
I try to shut my eyes and sleep in the corner
But we can't go on
Pretending like it won't happen again
Am I not speaking English
I guess you'll never understand
I'm unable to speak your language
Not that you'll hear us
With your lungs made of sand
We'll never reach the horizon
For the fear, we'll fall off the edge
Do we go on pretending
Like this didn't happen again?
Am I not speaking English
I guess you'll never understand
I'm unable to speak your language
Not that you'll hear us
With your lungs made of sand

Fear & Symmetry
05:35
|
|||
|
Love's flame is the most fleeting of all
We have all the time in the world
Still every day we have less
And every fold of you will unravel
And those creases become like maps
Between you fear
And your symmetry
Her heart ties ribbons around my tangled branches
If I ever lost her
This red orchard will guide me home
And every fold of you will unravel
And those creases become like maps
Between your fear
And your symmetry
Now we have all come undone
And there's nowhere else to go
Every fold of you has unravelled
And those pages are all blank

ELEPHANT
05:19
|

|
I need to escape
From the elephant in the room
I've nothing left inside
And nothing left to prove
I've been licking up
The salt from the wound
Until it scratches up
And I've nothing left but the truth
Let this go
Let it slip away
Let this go
OPEN UP
AND LET THIS GO!
It's time to separate
From all the useless lies
You keep beneath the floor
The mind it can't escape
And the heart will burst
And we'll circle like before
Let this go
Let it slip away
Let this go
OPEN UP
AND LET THIS GO!
Let this go
Let it slip away
Let this go
OPEN UP
AND LET THIS GO!
TREES! SHAPE! THESE!
END!LESS! LAND!SCAPES!
TREES! SHAPE! THESE!
END!LESS! LAND!SCAPES!
TREES! SHAPE! THESE!
END!LESS! LAND!SCAPES!
TREES! SHAPE! THESE!
END!LESS! LAND!SCAPES!
TREES! SHAPE! THESE!
END!LESS! LAND!SCAPES!
TREES! SHAPE! THESE!
END!LESS! LAND!SCAPES!

An Unforgiving Place
04:34
|
|||
|
When the mirror's stopped telling lies
No reflection in which to hide
THat's where you'll find the silence
The silence is just quiet violence
Why do we bleed and bleed?
I cannot breathe in this unforgiving place
Why do we bleed and bleed?
I cannot breathe in this unforgiving place
We are all born into it
Afraid to cut the umbilical cord
That feeds upon our innocence
Until we're lost amongst all of this silence
Why do we bleed and bleed?
I cannot breathe in this unforgiving place
Why do we bleed and bleed?
I cannot breathe in this unforgiving place
And our skin will burn
Laughter fades
Find ourselves
In an unforgiving place
And the world still turns
Shit we've made
Find ourselves
In an unforgiving place
Why do we bleed and bleed?
I cannot breathe in this unforgiving place
Why do we bleed and bleed?
I cannot breathe in this unforgiving place

Mourning Mountain
05:54
|
|||
|
I am a Mourning Mountain
Carved out by frozen seas
Above the mist, you'll never find the peak
We'll always fear the blade against the cheek
You cannot climb a Mourning Mountain
A place where the sun won't ever meet
All those that try will die amongst the thicket
We'll always fear the blade against the cheek
I am nothing but a Mourning Mountain
I'm sick and I'm tired of being myself

The Silence of Sleep
05:38
|
|||
|
Go back to sleep
Don't wake
If we were so strong
Where did we go wrong?
And it all fades
Go back to sleep
Don't wake
With a blade gripped between your teeth
You hide beneath the sheets
Until the will fades
And the silence, the silence
It won't ever fall
It's the way it's been
For so long
Go back to sleep
Don't wake
Surrounded by absent friends
They burned the ground beneath your feet
Until the will fades
Until your will fades

Fear stalks
And it rules the earth
Despite our protests
And what was it worth?
Children's bodies
Washed up along our shores
Who will mourn them?
And what was it worth?
Screaming voices
From the abattoirs
How we skinned and boned them
And what was it worth?
As we lay floating
All out at sea
We'll keep on swimming
To find the answers
To the questions
That we feared the most
Ones we'd stopped asking
Like what was it worth?

If the world was full of love
What is it we are so afraid of?
Why do we yearn
For the point of no return?
Step back inside and undress
Where sheets were cleaned with kindness
Burn all of your old clothes
Then feed them to the scarecrows
Now the world is full of love
What was it we were so scared of?
Why did we yearn
For the point of no return?
True love always waits
Where the light never fades
Where there's always a start
And a shoulder in the dark
We are no longer afraid of that nothing
I'm no longer afraid of that nothing
