The Unsalted Sea
02:59

|
We play this game of push and pull,
An unsalted sea is me an you,
So tell me darling do we try?
Or shall I disappear and cry?
We both hold secrets of our own
But give out lies like we’ve been shown,
Buried underneath are our hearts,
Can we dig them out before we part?
Chorus
There once was an ocean between us,
And now there’s a storm and ships too,
Can I mend my broken sail?
And cross the sea to you you you?
We disagree like a stubborn child,
Silence calms an angry fire,
Its all too hard we both have scars
That influence how we ride it out.
rough seas, cold nights, this is how we fight,
can our two ships make it through our plight?
We once were happy, lovers, best friends,
But this might be our story’s end.
Unsalted sea, is me and you
Unsalted sea, is me and you
And cross the sea to you you you?
And cross the sea to you you you?

The Station

So I walked to the station
Down all the guilty streets
Turned up to the party
And began dancing to the beats
Caught up with an old friend of mine
Who I knew from a lifetime ago
He said tell me a story please
And I said, where did all the time go
Oh oh, oh oh, where did time go
Oh oh, oh oh, where did time go
I gave a hug to a stranger
And believed it could be the key
Conventions fell from the walls
And for a moment sentiment was free
I sat down in a circle
Counted cards and went with the flow
Logic tumbled down from the roof
And I said, where did all the time go
Oh oh, oh oh, where did time go
Oh oh, oh oh, where did time go
Then the music became louder
But I wasn’t listening anymore
A drink slipped out of my hands
And I thought wait, I’ve been here before
I found my way back to the station
And stared at the neon glow
The moon was half empty
And I said, where did all the time go
Oh oh, oh oh, where did time go
Oh oh, oh oh, where did time go
Oh oh, oh oh, where did time go
Oh oh, oh oh, where did time go

Counting Sheep
02:48

I counted sheep
As they jumped over your head
You were fast asleep
As you lay there in your bed
I thought, you were, all that I waited for
I thought, you were, all that I waited for
But you weren’t, but you weren’t.
Caught you in a dream
Running circles around the sun
Nothing is quite as it seems
Hearts lost and battles and won
I thought, you were, all that I waited for
I thought, you were, all that I waited for
But you weren’t, but you weren’t.
Such strange days,
Day bleeds into night and night bleeds into day
Hiding from all the monsters that live under your bed,
I think, this might be, the end
Morning light broke through
And then the darkness ran away
It always takes two
Or so I’ve been told and so they say
I thought, you were, all that I waited for
I thought, you were, all that I waited for
But you weren’t, but you weren’t.
But you weren’t, no you weren’t.

Gentleman at the Door
03:10
|
|||
|
Its easy to put it all in a box.
Watch it fester and grow and rot.
Like the big black suitcase that lives
Under my eyes.
Me to you was the gentleman at the door and nothing more.
Chorus
You always had it your way
But you never saw it quite the same
On a one man mission to the moon
Don’t come back, don’t come back soon.
In your mind lives your mother in a rocking chair
Back and fourth shaking her head giving you a glare.
Tut tut tut you should have been much wiser
My darling my dear.
Me to you was the gentleman at the door and nothing more.
Chorus
And I heard a whisper on the silver screen
We only accept the love we think we deserve
So it turns out all along it was my head drowning
Me in my bed
Coz me to you was the gentleman at the door and nothing more.
Chorus

This Time
03:44
|
|||
|
Forcing through, the walls in your mind
Hollowed out,
Fear shows the doubt
Caught up now , in the landslide
Time is delayed
Lost today
Chorus
Traps of the mind
Follow you home
This time
Lines won’t connect, thoughts disappear
Confusion reins
Compounding pain
Sacred nights, and hazy days
Hidden away
Lost today
The traps of your mind
Follow your home
This time
The traps of your mind
Cloud your life
This time
