Let There Be Light

Infinite galaxies,
Mars to the left of me,
Stars to the right of me,
Moon up in front of me,
So move up in front of me,
And look at me lovingly,
Let there be light!
Orbital poetry,
Spherical sorcery,
Cyclical synergy,
Perpetual novelty,
Endless eternity,
Blemished so beautifully,
Let there be light!
Without you, it doesn’t mean anything

All Gone
03:03

This love is all gone,
I’m glad we’re done
But I know that it’s wrong
to feel numb for so long
You need to break out of your head again,
You gotta get up off your bed
It says a lot about the state you’re in,
It never helped you playing dead
But it’s still a deal;
Just ignoring these wounds
has never proven an effective way to heal
(So here we are,
Writing new choruses
around old scars)
All gone
All gone, until it’s not

Solitaire

She dealt a fine hand, shuffled well,
She don’t bend the rules, she don’t suffer fools,
She played her cards right every time,
Left the place a wreck, took her lucky deck
She played her own game, Solitaire,
Easier to win when there’s no-one there,
So she laid her cards out on the ground,
Built a paper town, then she tore it down
She deals a fine hand, shuffles well,
She don’t bend the rules, she don’t suffer fools,
She plays her cards right every time,
She don’t bend the rules, she don’t suffer fools
How you feel is how I feel
Solitaire, Solitaire
My head is on, I’m lying low,
I’m hiding out in the undergrowth,
She’s the Queen of Hearts and her temper holds,
Even the joker cards struggle to take control
Painting the roses red, pruning the overgrown,
Playing the game to death, plotting a journey home,
Parting the tides of wine, practising solitaire,
Just wanna do it once, just wanna win it fair

Ghost
04:19
|

I’ve been in waiting for so long,
Playing with fire far too frequently,
Hoping the flames would keep me strong,
Burning my bridges to the third degree
I’ve been in hiding for so long,
Trying to preserve my authenticity,
Keeping my guards up when I know it’s wrong,
Building a cage for my security
On it goes, nature drags me into the throes,
But I’m not ready for love, the dance is scary enough
You can approach, but I’m too quick on my toes,
Right foot back in retreat, never calling defeat
Going back… My memory serves me well
Hiding ‘round corners, waiting for the perfect parallel
Going back… Wish I could seal it for real,
But I know I’m not a closer, it was too soon to make a deal
Ghost… It’s a shame, don’t you think,
That we could end up like this?
Ghost, nature drags me into the throes,
But I’m not ready for love, the dance is scary enough
You can approach, but I’m too quick on my toes,
Right foot back in retreat, never calling defeat

Second Thoughts
02:50
|

|
Get in my way, cause I’m having second thoughts ‘bout
Whether I should stay, or give her the go-around
Get in my way, cause I’m having second thoughts ‘bout
Whether this is safe, where I should turn for guidance
Second thoughts
Second thoughts
Get in my way, cause I’m having second thoughts ‘bout
Whether I can make it, or if I should listen to doubt
Get in my way, cause I’m having second thoughts ‘bout
How all this plays; when half-time comes, I’m out

Bare Walls

Bare walls, I got no motivation
Soon I’m gone, holding for a new location
Bare walls, waiting for an incantation
So I can go on...
Scrolling to the bottom line,
Scrubbing till the end of time,
Blinds are down, my hands are tied,
Sun is up but I’m inside
Bare walls, feed me your opinion
So I can stand tall; a member of your digital religion
Bare walls, refresh my existence
Wake me when I’m reinstalled
I’ll find my way back home, to the surface
But I’ve deserted hope again

Give me patience, give me peace,
Give me everything that I could ever need
to be capable at love
That shit is hard enough on its own,
I need a bit of grace for the road
Give me letters, give me words,
Teach me every song that I have ever heard
so that I could write my own,
And find the way back home to my heart,
That shit was hard enough at the start
Give me salt and give me stains,
Give me anything so I could just remain
in the beauty of this place,
But I am just a blip in space and time,
And it breaks my fucking heart to say goodbye
Give me crayons, give me paints,
Give me youth that I will surely throw away
Then remind me of this day;
When I couldn’t take my hands off the keys,
When I worried ‘bout the silence that would follow me
I don’t have the energy to be an effigy
No, I won’t burn anymore, I won’t burn anymore
I don’t have the energy to be an effigy
I won’t burn anymore, I won’t burn anymore
Life is too short
To keep your distance
And call it art

I thought my feelings were dependable
I was wrong
I thought my fear would be amendable
I was wrong
I thought my gut would be reliable
I was wrong
I thought this time it could be viable
I was wrong
I’m on my own again, returning home again
Back to my family where love was taught to me
Don’t want to be a deadbeat, another jaded lover
So make me kind instead, a better son and brother

Didn’t think I’d turn away from it
Told my friends that I was up for it
But overseas I had a heart attack
Felt alive and dreaded going back
Sinking brews and smoking Marlboro
Spending days up in the studio
November felt like it could happen twice
22-year-old in paradise
I don’t know what else to say
My heart just doesn’t beat for you that way
Even though I want it to
I can’t control my brain
Didn’t think that it would get to me
Who know pain could be a prophecy?
Wasn’t ready but I thought I was
I apologise for changing course
Getting bitter, losing self control
Searching deeper for a better soul
Letting go can take a thousand tries
But we’re human and we improvise

Fallow Ground
04:14
|

|
Waters up above,
Fires rage below
I lift up my palms,
I concede control
Though my mouth is numb,
And my ears grow tired,
I won’t fuel the spark
That’s flickering inside
Steal me from my selfish ways,
Keep me humble all my days;
If I should curse the things to come,
Then keep my quiet, hold my tongue
The sun is beating down,
With wind, She keeps me dry
The seeding never comes,
My heart it wonders why
For I am fallow ground,
The seasons pass me by
But I must wait my turn,
Someday I will try again
Steal me from my selfish ways,
Keep me humble all my days,
If I should curse the things to come

Suburbs

I can feel it on my skin
I don’t know which world I’m in
I don’t know which part to play
All I know is that I’m worlds away
From the city
Oh, now I know where I went wrong
Oh, I went and strung myself along
Oh, you were my friend but that didn’t feel close enough
Oh, and then I ruined it for both of us
Oh how I glow when the streetlights come on
Sneaking around till the crack of dawn
Pouring my heart out in letters forlorn
And posting them round in the suburbs
Every day is a decade long
Patiently waiting for the sun to go down
Cause in the dead of night, I come alive
Wandering the streets of the suburbs
Cause I have friends in the suburbs
Oh, now I know where I went wrong
Oh, but the shame is long-gone
Oh, you were my friend and I’m glad that we’re all good again
Oh, the suburbs are still, and we can just chill
The suburbs are still, and we can just chill

Lunar Love

Natural satellite, lunar light
God is making the heavens tonight
The moon is my mother, she senses my trouble
And lights up the path that will guide me back to my home
Where home is my heart,
Generous love, playing my part
I was alone at the start,
But I give up myself,
And I open the home in my heart.
