01. Spore

[Instrumental]

02. Wither

There's no way back, just follow the road to the end.
All turning black, the colours and light start to bend.
My twisted face, keeping you here in the now.
The Safest place, withering away.

Brush off this dirt.
Time starts to mend.
These wounds don't hurt.
I'm born again.

Would you push me underground?
Starless at sea and I am never coming down.

You went too far, effecting your reality.
It's all natural, knock out the spores to give seed.
Sweet tainted brew, a slant on your innocence.
Your're almost through, withering away.

Brush off this dirt.
Time starts to mend.
These wounds don't hurt.
I'm born again.

Would you push me underground?
Starless at sea and I am never coming down.

Don't shut it down, you wouldn't like what you see.
Spiralling out, clawing your way through the leaves.
Lights fading now, nothing is as it should be.
Spiralling out, clawing your way through the leaves.

03. Dawn

Take some love from me,
Use it every day.
Take it always.

(Take it away)

If your mind is free,
If its not meant to be.
Keep on trying

(Keep Trying)

Burning out the dawn,
Blinded by the sun.
Its a new day.

(A new day)

Every Day
Every Day

04. Circles

Planes circle round,
your eyes can be found,
Searching the sky
No love from the ground
Earth open up and kiss me with stone
Sweet country fields where I feel at home.
As I fly I can name all the places, and time is a ghost.
The sky just the same as the ocean.
A space between me and my home.
Tears and rain they can be the same.
Clouds stroked faces look down again.
Wind swept hair can take me to our place,
sea spray and long days leave only a trace.
As I fly I can name all the places, and time is a ghost.
The sky just the same as the ocean.
A space between me and my home.

05. Aphotic Blues

Cruel spider, You wove a web for me,
Face worn hopeless
A faint light to see.
Played and weary, cold breath can be seen.
Tried to grow where no light can ever ever be.
Blood rushes out of me my limbs are getting numb,
wrapped up in your disease, stealing air out of my lungs.
Pulled back down, passion in the deep.
Smiles on slunlight, your eyes I cannot keep.
Breathe in. Feel the wait of now.
Breath out. The silence is so loud.
Blood rushes out of me my limbs are getting numb,
wrapped up in your disease, stealing air out of my lungs.
Blood rushes out of me my limbs are getting numb,
wrapped up in your disease, stealing air out of my lungs.
I need a way to escape my head.
I need a way to get by.
I need somebody to rescue me.
I need a word or a sign.

06. Echoes

Hide your eyes and turn away, you cant come out today.
Theres no way.
Staring through the window pane, at the pouring rain.
She dont complain.
Walk on, face long, half gone.
Never one for having fun, always taught to hold your tongue.
So you thought you could please him did you?
So you thought it be easy did you?
Denied, the things you wanted more.
Inspite of what your asking for.
Tonight the waves approach the shore.
Just to escape from this twisted space, and their knocking at your door.
Tell yourself its all ok, bring in another day, you cry out in vain.
Tangled up and beaten down a voice that echoes from the ground again.
Shows on, days long, shame gone.
Working till the morning sun but no ones waiting when your done.
So you thought you could please him did you?
So you thought it be easy did you?
Denied, the things you wanted more.
Inspite of what your asking for.
Tonight the waves approach the shore.
Just to escape from this twisted space, and their knocking at your door.
There gonna try to tell you who you are.
There gonna try to show you show you are.
There gonna try to tell you who you are.
There gonna try to show you show you are.

07. Fracture

Tongue twisted air,
Lost in the vacuum of time.
Your crooked glare,
Stuck like a needle in mine.
Cold moulded breath,
Falls like the ash from cigarettes.
And I'm adrift,
Inside the spaces in you.

And your eyes painted the sand,
That I let slip through my hands.

These rabid dogs,
That sick the culture of man,
Lay on their heels,
And lick the palm of my hand.
My baited breath,
Pulls like kite string round my neck.
And I'll ride the wind,
To try to understand you.

And your eyes painted the sand,
That I let slip through my hands.
I'll fall as fast as I can,
Across the sun and ocean.

The eyes on you,
They make me wonder.
Don't recognise the blue.
A storm obscures the thunder.

08. Surma

Your too much to take.
You make it easier, to leave you again.
So tomorrows more than iI can take.
Just have your own way, Ive never gone so low.
Constellations are all the same.
Drive from the centre, because im lost in space.

Kalma, rip in the atmosphere,
Kalma, time is out you'll burn in fear.
Kalma, rip in the atmosphere,
Kalma, time is out you'll burn in fear.

Can you save us all?
Will you let us fall, and burn away?
You think its natural to have it all, (and?) fake it anyway.
I aint seen heaven fall yet. You cant forgive when your dead.
So save your last breath.

Kalma, rip in the atmosphere,
Kalma, time is out you'll burn in fear.
Kalma, rip in the atmosphere,
Kalma, time is out you'll burn in fear.
Kalma, rip in the atmosphere,
Kalma, time is out you'll burn in fear.
Kalma, rip in the atmosphere,
Kalma, time is out you'll burn in fear.
