Who’s at your window my dear At your window laughing Who, it’s a child of the storm Let him in and he'll never go home Don’t talk about it Don’t think about it anymore Just go, better just go The engine’s running Eyes red and burning from the cold Dead slow, talking dead slow All prisoners stand off to one side Their heads bowed, covered eyes Tally the count, wait for it now The smoke starts, the lines buzz Who’s at your window my dear At your window laughing Who, it’s a child of the storm Let him in and he'll never go home Lights in the sky Lights on the ground They're coming out Just go, shouting just go Give us a sign, give us a sign Who’s asking for it So long, they’re holding us for so long One foot at a time, all together Don’t let them break it up, break us up Break up We can survive, as the stars shine now So below us, so below us Who’s at your window my dear At your window laughing Who, it’s a child of the storm Let him in and he’ll never go home

Embers 04:06
I saw you, last night we met A smoke filled tomb Our embers glowing away Sounds of our whispers Lost in the room I saw you, last night we met Two strangers here Reflecting bare silhouettes Of tiger and hunter Following deer I saw you, last night we met The flames burned rough Surrendered all that was left All that was given, took off our gloves I saw you, last night we met As two lost souls The embers of our escape are flickering out now Begging for more

Spit Fire 04:48
Hold me still don't take me out Cold until you say it loud Old fires cooking now Bored in bed you’ve let me down All this while I’m watching now Lost in space, I hear you Leave no trace, I see you Twist your face, I feel you all with mad rage Broke and beat defend your town Stand in streets like every clown Lost in space, I hear you Leave no trace, I see you Twist your face I feel you all with mad rage Now All of my days All of my nights Hot on my friends Hot on my fights I ask for it here I get it out there The fire's the same But nobody cares I and I in my head I and I won’t be saved Lost in space, I hear you Leave no trace, I see you Twist your face I feel you all with mad rage Now

Wide awake and hungry I can feel the weight is coming off Tearing at the edges of my new found love I can see the colours while my eyes are shutting out the light Burning all the images before I'm ready to fight Out of my head Out of all the wars I fought and words I wasted The memory stops, everything goes white I'm still in all these places On the road to Ithaca The truth is sometimes easy to find Let's celebrate a moment While the world wastes precious time Oh I can paint a picture of it now But it might not be true All this could be a dream for me Why hesitate to see it through Out of my head Out of all the wars I fought and words I’ve wasted The memory stops, everything goes white I'm still in all these places I'm out of my head I'm out of all the wars I fought and words I’ve wasted The memory stops, everything goes white I'm still in all these places I'm out of my head
5.
I was wasting time but I didn't know I was till I met you And then I was alone, staying far away from home And missing truth Feeling lost and shut away I had no one else to play with, no Took forever to come down I was turning into someone I don't know We were getting on Trying hard to break the stones of our days Just about to fall With our backs against the wall of this dark and empty maze I was never one to choose careful words I always lose that fight And the memory remains We were lovers, now were friends But is that right? I know what you want, I wish you knew it too Now I could try and say We were meant to drift away It was a natural sort of thing Or I could blame the days When the light refused to shine on Our souls and skins I've been meaning to let go But I feel like you should know this now And the days they multiply Leaving shadows of the ones we were behind I know what you want, I wish you knew it too
6.
It brings a tear to my eye When I think of all the things I could have tried But I didn't, oh why didn't I It sparks a pain in my heart When I think of all the things that I did start But never finished, oh why didn't I I could have been a true contender I would have made them all surrender But I didn't understand Now the wheels have spun around It pains to think of all the stuff I kept putting on the shelf and never taking out I try to work out, oh why didn't I A mark of a shame on my soul When a mission never seems to reach it's known goal No navigator but I, why didn’t I I could have been a true contender I would have made them all surrender But I didn't understand Now the wheels have spun around Didn’t I just
7.
Turn me over, on the outside I know you want to be friends But I've suffered enough I suffer now Kiss me lazy, sweet old four eyes I know it's late in the day but I’ll give you my love I’ll give it now We’re saved, lets not go through it all again It smells like cigarettes, and army mines A ragged time behind the lines I’ve written once before And now once more Pray for something, live forever amen Well I don’t know your plans Or what they're good for But I'll take it Creeping crawling new sensations How I wish for the best Observe, they’ll put blood on your hands If you let them We’re saved, lets not go through it all again It smells like cigarettes, and army mines A ragged time behind the lines I’ve written once before And now once more

Everywhere he goes, people at his side Whispering words, talking about pride He's an honorable man Everywhere he goes, people at his side Whispering words, talking about pride He's an honorable man I’m not here for beauty I’m not here to do good You’ve gone and put me in a chair And now I'm sitting, anyone would I ain't here to represent you I ain't here to do right You won't get no mercy out of me my friend Not in this fight Everywhere he goes, people at his side Whispering words, talking about pride He's an honorable man Just get me started with a ball and chain I’ll paint the numbers and change the names Don’t have to worry Keep it nice and clean It’s a new morning He rides the dream Everywhere he goes It’s everywhere he goes I can see it coming I can feel it coming It’s everywhere he goes It’s everywhere he goes Everywhere he goes, people at his side Whispering words, talking about pride He's an honorable man Everywhere he goes, people at his side Whispering words, talking about pride He's an honorable man, he is I’m not done telling lies I’m not done closing eyes I’ll shed my skin for it These hands will bleed for it I dream of symmetry No room for poetry These clouds are dangerous These clouds are everywhere I go They're everywhere I go I can see it coming I can feel it coming These clouds are everywhere I go They're everywhere I go I can see it coming Oh I can feel it coming It’s everywhere I go
9.
Took off to lands Driven by ghosts I've no fear to find the gates closed Save yourself, save yourself And count your doors I'll make my way home Save your faith Humbled by oaths I was raised to sleep in my clothes In the hot winds, in the hot winds The Summer grows I'll make my way home Now promises Are left on the road The bags are full, and ready to load Brace yourself, honey brace yourself Open your doors I'll make my way home
10.
This Light 05:56
Once I’ve let it in There's no going back It’s the same way We're all creatures now I've seen red and black I've reached in, and I’ve taken out Look the other way With your tainted eyes There's a cold front Coming to where we are Tasted blood and lust We fought long, now we are lost This light won't fade This light won't fade for us Once I've fallen down Will you help me up All I’m asking now All I’m asking now Is be kind to us Let this light shine on your eyes This light won't fade This light won't fade for us
