Shake

Turn it up and I can feel you shake
I know you love this song you say it breaks you
The music moves you like I never could
So I keep it on and we can keep our silence
Oh I feel it too right in my chest
I wish that I could put it in a sentence
I wish that I could open up your head
Rip out the things that I see make you nervous
Come shake me so I know you're still
Somewhere hidden back behind the covers and the things that make you ill
Oh I heard you in your sleep again
Is that what you really think of me
And how can I still call myself your friend
When all we do is drink and talk of nothing
Come shake me so I know you're still
Somewhere hidden back behind the covers and the things that make you ill
Come shake me oh I know you will
Please don't make me wait
Somewhere hidden back behind the covers and the things that make you ill
Somewhere hidden back behind the covers but I can feel you still
Come shake me so I know you're still
Somewhere hidden back behind the covers and the things that make you ill
Come shake me oh I know you will
Please don't make me wait
Come shake me so I know you're still
Come shake me oh I know you will
Come shake me so I know you're still
Please don't make me wait

War Paint
04:31

I broke the dawn
It shattered in my hands
And all the shards fell to the sand
And there you stood with your painted face
Your feathered feet
Your fragile grace
There’s grazes on your knees
You never could see the wood for the trees
But now you hear her begging please
Please
Come home
You’re dancing out over the ocean
Stars appear where your feet fall
Your see through skin your shining bones
It’s hard to see them through the walls
There’s grazes on your knees
You never could see the wood for the trees
But now you hear her begging please
Please
Come home
And there you stood with your painted face
Your feathered feet
Your fragile grace
There’s grazes on your knees
You never could see the wood for the trees
But now you hear her begging please
Please
Come home

The River
04:06
|

Hooks, ropes buried deep and the earth is running red
I see your yellow teeth all the way from the riverbed
Blood bone memories a shadow in distress
Swim fast enemy you heavy chest sickness
And the river ran deep
Washed away all you tried to keep
The hooks that were yours
Finally let go and my wounds healed over
Quick sand Buried knees and the air is getting thick
Quick home remedies the dark is full of tricks
But the river ran deep
Washed away all you tried to keep
The hooks that were yours
Finally let go and my wounds healed over
And the waves are calling out
My name is in the water
And my eyes my open mouth
My body's past the border
And the river ran deep
Washed away all you tried to keep
The hooks that were yours
Finally let go and my wounds healed over
Healed over…

Bare Bones
04:20
|
|||
The bodies we are building they are burning from inside
All our concrete foundations turn to sand and turned the tide
The twisted little tales we tell ourselves subside
We’re lost in our own city a broken compass for a guide
And I loved you when
And I loved you when
And I loved you when
You were just the bare bones
You were just the bare bones
We built layer on layer sewed our sinew to our skin
All our silicon structure clothed by muscle paper thin
I think at the time we really thought that we could win
That all the world without would bow down to the world within
And I still loved you when
I still loved you when
I still loved you when
You were more than bare bones
You were more than bare bones
And if we could turn back now strip flesh from skeleton
Forget the force that formed us get back to where we began
You handed me the noose and I handed you the gun
The final nail in the coffin to tell them they had won
And I will love you then
I will love you then
I will love you then
When we are only bare bones
When we are only bare bones

Cutting Room
04:50
|

Colours are fading
The memories laying
All on the cutting room floor
Heavy they’re weighing
And now they are playing
What’s left to who’s left to ignore
Left it out again
To ruin in the rain
A water stain adds interest they said
The cracks that split the paint
Mosaic soft and faint
We’re all so very complicated
Complicated
I bought a parasol
Gathers dust in the hall
Never quite enough sun to use
But the umbrella
I keep in the cellar
Hangs over me more than I’d choose
It’s dark under the bed
It’s quiet in my head
Safe and sound and hidden and whole
The drums that kept me up
They faded in the dark
It’s safe to steal back what they stole
Back what they stole
Back what they stole
