Nostalgia

Rewind to the summer
Of '79 in your childhood fervour
Your mind's played it over
Too many times now to brave it sober
A new underworld has taken hold
It's no wonder you can't make it home
The cold comfort in that hazy glow
May soon fade you know
A fool or a saviour?
The hero that died to defy the ruler
Will you ever conquer
That fear in the night using blind nostalgia?
At five you discovered
The wonders of life in your fine enclosure
But little did you know
That it would fall to the ground
To expose a soldier
A new underworld has taken hold
It's no wonder you can't make it home
And you run through those forsaken halls
Chasing days of old
A fool or a saviour?
The hero that died to defy the ruler
Oh will you ever conquer
That fear in the night using blind nostalgia?
Wherever we go
Wherever we go
We'll never decipher the code
Forever in search of the soul
But now I'm alone
The thoughts seem to grow
I just lie back and enjoy the show
Then loudness surrounds and I know
That silence is golden

Playgrounds

The coals glow
The tides turn to go
And rogue gardens roam ghost towns to show
Euphoria's blade
The old folk
They tell lies again
To turn hearts who play too long
To learn that life's like waking from
A dream where nothing grows
In neither dust nor snow
But for one day
Euphoria's blade
The seasons come and go
The towers tumble low
A feeling lost in those
Playgrounds of crumbled stone

Only Love

You led me downstairs
The doorway baited
The blue of your gown
Baring hopeful tones
But don't you stay too long
Before the dawn
You'll know how hard I played you
No don't you stay too long
The floor might fall
It's only love
It's only love
You made me bolder
Than I'd prepared for
As the moon bites your shoulders
To throw shadows
But don't you stay too long
Before the dawn
You'll know how hard I played you
No don't you stay too long
The floor might fall
It's only love
It's only love

Only Sleep
06:01

|
Worn enough to forget your slumber
Tired of tired love's cold colour
My love,
Some won't ever so defy your nocturnal hold
So don't let me know if I close my eyes too long
Morning comes to wash away your lover
The kind of sun that only sleep can summon hovers low
Some won't ever so defy your nocturnal hold
So don't let me know if I close my eyes too long
Under...

Where Does The Time Go?
04:11

You let the fires burn oh so low
Before the tidal waves
Rolled over the homes
Of all these saints and holy ghosts
Where'd the time go?
Where does the time go?
With all the lifeboats sailing onward
We find our heartbeats trailing off
Into the open ocean
Waving bye to those who said there's no hope
But what do they know?
Our hollow faith will always stay with us
Through towering gates to always stay with us
Stay with us..
You pray for love
In silent wasted time
The hope is so unkind
So I just play the fool again
You know you let the fires burn oh so low
We find our heartbeats trailing
Over the homes of all these saints and holy ghosts
Who said there's no hope?
Where does the time go?
