When We Wake
04:38

Drew an outer space
Cried aloud when they erased it
Shot off the guns
Saw the end but didn’t taste it
Willed myself alive
Isn’t that all it takes?
To dream another life
Will appear when we wake
Now I’m drifting away from you
No tether from me to you
The darkness between us now
Is tearing the words
Right out of my mouth
Made up my mind
Risked it all on the chance
I could recompense
For the time I had missed
Said I would do
What it takes for you to see
My design
Carried out flawlessly
Now I’m drifting away from you
No tether from me to you
The darkness between us now
Is tearing the words
Right out of my mouth

The Sending
06:56
|

Touching down on live ground
Longing for that tired sound
Of when we used to call on
Anyone who’d listen
Screaming and forgiving
On and on and on
Riding on the daylight
Give us some insight
To when we used to call on
Anyone who’d listen
Screaming and forgiving
On and on and on
You’re sending me off to Mars
You’re sending me off to Mars
You’re sending me off to Mars
But I’ll never make it
And you said we’d reach the part
When it wouldn’t be so hard
You gave me your reason
But I can’t take it
Stay with me I’m begging
My head is tired of treading
On when we used to call on
Anyone who’d listen
Screaming and forgiving
On and on and on
You’re sending me off to Mars
You’re sending me off to Mars
You’re sending me off to Mars
But I’ll never make it
And you said we’d reach the part
When it wouldn’t be so hard
You gave me your reason
But I can’t take it

All This Time
05:05
|

Oh, I see that you’re a lion
And I’m your prey
And I’m dying, I’m dying every night
With your hand on my waist
You’re keeping, you’re keeping me close
Within your range
But I’m not fighting, I’m not fighting at all
This beautiful cage
And all this time
I’ve loved you
I’ve loved you
All this time
I’ve loved you
I’ve loved you
A secret in the palm of your hand
Come finish me
But I won’t tell it, I won’t tell anyone
Of this savagery
And all this time
I’ve loved you
I’ve loved you
All this time
I’ve loved you
I’ve loved you
Oh, I’m seeping, I’m seeping
I’m seeping oh, oh, oh, oh

Lead Me On
05:33
|
|||
Slung over backs
Covering tracks of war
A stolen kiss
From battles fought before
Your weapon hangs
On an empty wall
The scent of you
Belittling us all
You took these frames
From a lullaby
And bound my hands
Like they were never mine
Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on…
You carried me
Much too far from home
And branded me
So I’d never roam
I’m shackled now
In an empty room
The scent of you
A maddening perfume
Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on…
Sail on away, til the arms surround you
Sail on away, til the arms surround you
Sail on away, til the arms surround you
Sail on, on away, til love has found you

Settlers
04:29

How fascinating
This new terrain
I’ve covered miles
Of these sullen plains
We’re carrying
All our hopes and dreams
We’re passing on
The new disease
We’re settling
On this weathered ground
(quite satisfied)
Quite satisfied
By this treasure found
Send out a scout
To seal the lines
(so no one tries)
So no one tries
To steal what’s mine
What’s a girl to say
What’s a girl to do
I try to look away
But settle into you
And it’s Saturday night
I can’t sleep anymore
Cuz I’m turning from wood to metal

Thinking Thoughts
05:38
|

If only
You could awaken my mind
You’d thrill me
And I’d be saving your life, oh
I watch now
As you fall dead in the gold
For pennies
I could be saving your soul, oh
Mm, mm, mm…
I’m thinking I’m, I’m thinking I’m
Never gonna fault you
I’m thinking I’m, I’m thinking I’m
Worse for having met you
I’m seeing now, I’m seeing now
A single light above us
I’m seeing now, I’m seeing now
Too many years, too many years
Too many years, too many years
Spent on you
If only
You could be with me tonight
You’d kiss me
And I’d be out of your mind, oh
Mm, mm, mm…
I’m thinking I’m, I’m thinking I’m
Never gonna fault you
I’m thinking I’m, I’m thinking I’m
Worse for having met you
I’m seeing now, I’m seeing now
A single light above us
I’m seeing now, I’m seeing now
Too many years, too many years
Too many years, too many years
Spent on you, spent on you
Too many years spent on you
