You're The Gravity
04:34
|

|
We're only a world away
The atmosphere's the same
Your gifts are more inflamed
I can't believe the way
When fear evolved to speak
You whispered to me
If there's a fraction of love - have faith
You did the first time
Soar the wave of convalescence
You faced it all, embraced it all
Learned to walk, refused to fall
You're the inspiration actually
Cured the fever, you're the gravity
Do what you want with me
It's the safest place to play
Skin such soft terrain
I can't believe the way
When fear evolved a tongue
Winter was so much fun
We stayed indoors for days
That was the last time
Soar the wave of convalescence
You faced it all, embraced it all
Learned to walk, refused to fall
You're the inspiration actually
Cured the fever, you're the gravity

A Touch Aggressive
03:49

The measure of man is not his brutality
It is his mind
Thousands will say you are the better man
If you survive
But I understand it’s not so simple as
As planting trees
You gotta prepare to take some shit my man
Remain at peace
Not dance on him again
‘Cause he caught your eye
It shouldn’t be hard to let the monkeys pass
With just alarm
But night after night you’re playing dangerous
Who will you harm?
Now I am appalled ‘cause I’ve seen sights of you
With golden hands
Ready to lead the hearts of honesty
To foreign lands
Not dance on him again
‘Cause he caught your eye
Just a little of it
Just a little of it
Just a little spine (to walk on by)
Just a little of it
Just a little of it
Just a little pride (in your own life)
I've seen you in green fields with a golden ship a-passing you
It's strange how these feelings abort your longer breeding
And I know now it's over but I know not your point of view
I know now cause is yours alone
Just a little of it
Just a little of it
Just a little spine (to walk on by)
Just a little of it
Just a little of it
Just a little pride (in your own life)

Kill It
03:38
|
|||
|
Once upon a time, very far away, every single
Every single thought, every right of way
Every single bullet to the brain, every middle eight
Every single promise that was made, held, burnt and thrown away
Deep beneath the core, deep beneath the grave
Every single structure that was born, every single thorn
Every single better looking day, every daily pray
We die alone
Hold
On
Tight
And don't cry at night
Cause I don't mean to scare you
If you don't realise fool
You'll get it, the minute it's right to
You'll Kill It, the minute it's right to
You know you own your mind
Have you ever seen through time?
You'll get it, the minute it's right to
You'll Kill It, the minute it's right to
SAY
Once upon a time, very far away, every single
Every single heart, every runaway
Every single lover in the rain
Everyone in pain - They cried your name
But deep beneath the core, deep beneath the truth
Underneath the colours of you're flag or you're church
The lies that we've been fed, deep beneath it all
OK, so let's pretend we're alone then
Cause I don't mean to scare you
If you don't realise fool
You'll get it, the minute it's right to
You'll Kill It, the minute it's right to
You know you own your mind
Have you ever seen through time?
You'll get it, the minute it's right to
You'll Kill It, the minute it's right to

The Faces Are Changing
04:16
|
|||
|
I will be there, will be there, when you get me
Remember the space and the grace of the alley
Remember the songs and the sounds of youth come truth
Six young men denying their proof
Up in their halls where the rages are pacing
Ignorance bloomed, love was a lesson learned, in adolescent verse
and now that you forget it, it hurts
Down in a room
Where the people are freaking
Untouched by the sun
And in a way
You could watch us bloom
And with cries of angry truth
And I don't care what anyone says
It's just a game where the faces are changing
Ignorance bloomed, love was a lesson learned
And the pain we cry at birth
Now that you forget it, it hurts
If you wanna play then call me after
You throw your fake faith away
I recall the days we called them masters
Then we'd skip school and hey we
Tore down all the walls that stood between us
And boy we were proud of that
Why did our achievements get diluted?
No, I won't have that
No, I won't have that
No, I won't have that
No, I won't have that

Mothers Call
04:56
|
|||
|
Do you recall?
The coloured walls
The bloody footpaths
A mother’s call
Never answered
By wanted boys
Stripped naked
Military toys
‘Cause it’s a long way down from here
And we are two steps way too near
To the kinda life we kinda knew, thought never mattered
But we were wrong
‘Cause we were kids when bombs went off
And friends of friends were shot
This time around well you gotta think it will be our kids
Not coming home
Let’s take a walk
Through the graveyards
And sleep soundly
Knowing we were not wrong
‘Cause this island’s been divided
We are not one or the other
We are different, our own identity
Formed through violence and mass humility
And we must not turn the other cheek
Does this violence not remind us
That we are not out of the water
We are anchored to the devils
‘Till the devils get dragged under

4FT Higher
04:52
|
|||
|
It should only take a couple of days
To drive the faith away
To get the facts in place
You're not alone my friend
I don't know, I don't buy it
It's something too decisive
We're allowed
To escape who we are
And you won't pass the gates
Don't let it kill the way
You're thinking it now, admit it aloud
You're safe
And bliss you'll know
I once crawled, now I'm shining
There's pigs around, they're not happy
We're adults now, there's no man in the sky
And don't it make you feel 4FT higher
Thinking about, been thinking about the way
And don't it make you feel 4FT higher
Thinking about, been thinking about the way

Bad Drunk
04:47
|
|||
|
I awoke
In a room
Full of scars
And I feigned
The belief
Like a star
I erase
What I want
Cause it hurts
And pretend this service
Is a faith that no one can find
As I eclipse my mind
My future wants
Another way
I submit
And have to stay
As I embrace
a human battery
Eye's bloodshot, fresh bruises tomorrow
In my head now it's unstoppable
Oh the shame
Here's your bad drunk calling
Although I get to choose what to swallow
In my gut now it's like acid rain
'What's her name?'
Here's your bad drunk calling
Although I get to choose what to swallow
In my gut now it's like acid rain
'What's her name?'
Here's your bad drunk calling
I'm a broken fool don't you follow?
Lay my head down
While I smash it all In a gaze
Here's your bad drunk calling
The future wants
Another way
I submit
And have to stay
As I embrace
a human battery
Eye's bloodshot, fresh bruises tomorrow
In my head now it's unstoppable
Oh the shame
Here's your bad drunk calling
Although I get to choose what to swallow
In my gut now it's like acid rain
'What's her name?'
Here's your bad drunk calling
I'm a broken fool don't you follow?
Lay my head down
While I smash it all In a gaze
Here's your bad drunk calling

Paranoia
04:07
|
|||
|
I been hiding since the last time I stepped outside
I been hiding but I can't hide from my mind
The waves they keep repeating
All the dumb fuck, shot luck, shit talk
Enemies armed
I been hiding but I can't hide from my mind
As their words grow power
It's just the paranoia
It's just the paranoia
It's just the paranoia (It's just a little wave)
I keep deciding it's the last time I dim my eye
Salvation coming, coming, coming
And the beat it keeps returning
There's a poet out there, somewhere
With a voice who cares
I've been hiding but I can't hide from my mind
As my voice grows power
It's just the paranoia
It's just the paranoia
It's just the paranoia (It's just a little wave)
Once more, I leave my fear upon the dance floor
The words mean more than I could hope for
And tribal drums lead me to kingdoms
Full of those who're just like me
Those who inspire me
With empathy plenty
Like the one's looking at me

March Into The Light
04:56
|
|||
|
There's a hole in the room where my lady lay
She was bright, she was cool, she was A OK
Bittersweet, comedown
Then she faded away
Now I'm left, as I was
Just a man so vague
I believe in myself in a roman way
That a man, such as me, should have everything
But as soon, as the stars, that surround me vacate
I am left, how I was, just a man so vague
But I don't need a lullaby
To teach my eyes how to cry
Cause I know, too well
So will you just let me
March Into The Light
I swear I'll never shine brighter than tonight
Your soul, is my delight
Even if we're not together, it's still right
March Into The Light
I swear I'll never shine brighter than tonight
Your soul, is my delight
Even if we're not together, it's still right

Town Of Thorns
06:36
|
|||
|
I'll never let you go
I'll never leave this town
I'll never walk away
Or abdicate this crown
Yes it's a town of thorns
I can't be on my own
If I bleed again
I could obtain it all
We trace our paths to here
Using only a vow
You should have pressured me
But now that pressures mine
I wake to no one near
Only the constant thud
All I was meant to be
Got washed out in the flood
Of children crying loud
In complex melody
We brought them to this world
We made them wild and free
To make the same mistakes
And sing their own sad songs
Now with each chord that play
We sadly sing along
I guess the lesson here
Is treat your heart with pride
And if you fall in love
Be sure to hold her tight
And if she runs away
Into another's arms
You gotta stand alone
So build your empire far
Let's set our hearts on fire
Let's set our hearts on fire
