Can Tender hearts learn
to love much less deeply
its but an urge
that’s urgent and matters
so easily shattered
so easy to blame
It’s all to burn
are singing the sinners
We’re stepped on by winners
never able to learn

And thought of somebody
painfully missing
flows through my body
churning and twisting
And thought of somebody

Faults lead us to learn
some they wont let you
some are just out to get you
again and again
is it what we deserve
for never just seeing
what we turned out being
what we turned away from

And thought of somebody
painfully missing
flows through my body
churning and twisting
And thought of somebody
Oh somebody

Why must we waste time
Why must wait
Dwelling on the telling signs
we blamed our lives away
Why must we waste time
Why must wait
Dwelling on the telling signs
we blamed our lives away

And thought of somebody
painfully missing
flows through my body
churning and twisting
And thought of somebody
Oh somebody
Oh somebody
Oh somebody

I’ll give it one last push and then
one more try before the end
I owe it to myself again
indebted to the life I’ve led

Genuine words are all the rage
we’re hash tag blessed and hash tag saved
we fake the love to reveal a hope
I hope of who we are

And we tried each and every way
each try worked out the same
on the sofa on the street or on the stage
they give their hearts or a smiley face
to carry on
to carry on

Don’t follow me cause I’ve lost my way
I chased your likes until my thumbs were sore
Your streaming fast I can’t keep in the current
and if I did it never last

And I tried each and every way
each try worked out the same
on the sofa on the street or on the stage
they give their hearts or a smiley face
And I tried each and every way
each try worked out the same
on the sofa on the street or on the stage
they give their hearts or a smiley face
to carry on
to carry on
to carry on
to carry on

Hunter of time

Oh no oh oh no

I’m the hunter of time of day
I kill it and leave it to rot
I catch it with my lazy ways
averted my gaze and shot

And everybody said
oh no oh oh no
he’s just wasting time
oh no oh oh no
just a waste of his time

from my holidays
I’m yet to arrive
twidlly dum I twiddle my thumb
let the love my disease decide my demise
never get up off of my bum

And everybody said
oh no oh oh no
he’s just wasting time
oh no oh oh no
just a waste of his time

But I’ve never been happier
never been happier
never been happier
doin nothing

Oh no oh oh no


‍
Every little need
tries to plague me
begging my time for scraps
like half chewed pic and mixes
I spit out my chances
and all ambition collapse

But I’ve never been happier
never been happier
never been happier
doin nothing
‍
But I’ve never been happier
never been happier
never been happier
doin nothing
‍
Oh no oh oh no

We don’t like the way this has gone
we don’t like the way this has gone
we don’t like the way this has gone
You’re dragging us back despite how far we’ve come

You weave your words
into our lives
you weave your words
into our lives
your weaving your words
into our lives
trying to make us believe
two plus two is five

We don’t like the way this has gone
we don’t like the way this has gone
we don’t like the way this has gone
You’re dragging us back despite how far we’ve come

Truth is great, when it is told
Truth is great, when it is told
but greater for you is truth silenced
truth is silenced and then sold

We don’t like the way this has gone
we don’t like the way this has gone
we don’t like the way this has gone
You’re dragging us back despite how far we’ve come

We don’t like oh the way this has gone
You’re dragging us back despite how far we’ve come

We don’t like the way this has gone
we don’t like the way this has gone
we don’t like the way this has gone
You’re dragging us back despite how far we’ve come

Who controls the past

ignorance is strength
so tells the president

She’s got everything
That a sane man could need
She’s got curves for miles
She’s a landscape of desire

Oh oh baby please don’t think that I’m wrong
I just want you to know
The things that turn me on

There’s part of me
I worry she won’t understand
It’s so hard to show her
This part of who I am

Oh oh baby please don’t think that I’m wrong
I just want you to know
The things that turn me on
I’ve been luck before
When they knew how to play along
Oh but a game is all it ever was
Had a beauty while it lasted
until they had won

She’s got everything
That a sane man could need
She’s got curves for miles
She’s a landscape of desire

Oh oh baby please don’t think that I’m wrong
I just want you to know
The things that turn me on
Oh oh baby please don’t think that I’m wrong
I just want you to know
The things that turn me on
Turn me on
In vain for love

You said I’m yet to know myself
you say I’m yet to make a start
you spell it out like know one else
I have yet to play my part

I was hoping to get let off light
to go back to where that I can cope
but I’m hurting you like no one else
I had flayed your heart with hope

But it won’t be in vain this love
But it won’t be in vain this love
But it won’t be in vain this love
So i’ll hold on for us forever more
I will hold on for ever more

One thing that I was sure
Is that I knew I wasn’t sure
but now I know no other way
I could make it though without you another day
But it won’t be in vain this love
But it won’t be in vain this love
But it won’t be in vain this love
So I'll hold on for us forever more
I will hold on for ever more

I give you all that I can give
try to make up for all of this
try to make up for all I do
I will make it all up to you
I will make a start
I will make it up to you

But it won’t be in vain this love
But it won’t be in vain this love
But it won’t be in vain this love
So I'll hold on for us forever more
I will hold on for ever more
But it won’t be in vain this love
But it won’t be in vain this love
But it won’t be in vain this love
So I'll hold on for us forever more
I will hold on for ever more
I will hold on
yeah I will hold on for ever
I will hold on for ever
I will hold on for ever
ever more baby
I will hold on for ever
ever more baby
I will hold on for ever
I will hold onto us for evermore
yeah forever
in vain for love
in vain for love
in vain for love
in vain for love

Oh why oh why
am I clinging to a hope

Well I sat in disbelief
as all I once believed
was good in this land of mine
was fading out of sight
all to the far right
all seem content with living blind

Oh why oh why
am I clinging to a hope
Oh why oh why
am I clinging to a hope

Well the news is full of sound bites
for the simple mind
while the others are losing their will
some to fear, some to fatigue
we’re like lambs laying down for the kill

Oh why oh why
am I clinging to a hope
Oh why oh why
am I clinging to a hope

Oh the rich will be fine
when it comes the time
that its all tumbling down
the enemies of hope
they’ve got us on the ropes
and their leaving nothing but doubt
their sitting on their hands
while we’re going down the pan
their watching the clocks run out
while we’re all getting poorer
walking through the door
that says this is the only way out
oh why

Oh why oh why
am I clinging to a hope
for another vote in my time
Oh why oh why
am I clinging to a hope
for another vote in my time
Oh why oh why
am I clinging to a hope

Long before we had ever met
I was already hoping for you
and soon after our first kiss
I knew I couldn’t stay long from you
now that I rest my head
on an offered couch
the wind outside howls through
these slow passing hours
and how much lonesome does a man have to get
before he is satisfied that he’s living freeI will return
‍
I will return to you every time that I go
I will return to you every time that I go

Follow your heart if you can still hear it leading
or be content in knowing you’ve come this far
and all those romantic sorrows your missing
can fill all the pages of your stories untold
all those stories untoldI will return
I will return to you every time that I go
I will return to you every time that I go
I will return
I will return to you every time that I go
I will return to you every time that I go
every time that I go
Oh every time every time
that I go
Oh every time every time
that I go

Lately the weeks feel like their on repeat
one whole year empty of memory
Piles of cables surround my feet
tangle and tripping me up

All cut off still there’s feeling
a memory of touch
getting used to this silent applause
never helps quite enough

I am powerless powerless
I am powerless powerless
I am powerless powerless
I am powerless powerless

Swiping through hours
In the hopes of a visit
in the screen is a frozen friend
falling away like a mask In a puddle
no change for days on end

I am powerless powerless
I am powerless powerless
I am powerless powerless
I am powerless powerless

Grey occasions stretch out unattended
no time for thoughts unrelenting
if I could what I wanted to do
would I be here with you

Coz we are so
powerless powerless
Don’t you know that we are so
powerless powerless
I can feel
powerless powerless
I feel like I am so
powerless powerless

I know you
and you got
something true to say
Take your time
give up or
hold back as much as you need
I will lend my ears
to your lips
don’t you fear what you say
just let some away

take your time to dig up the words
I won’t judge anything you say
I know you’re trying to find a way
to get release

You don’t have to take em on
you don't have to take em on your own
don't take them
don't take them on your own
You don’t have to hold it back
you don’t have to hold back any more
don't hold back
don’t hold back any more
you don’t have to take em on
you don’t have to take em on alone
take em on alone
All alone
Don’t take them

I think you need to release this feeling inside
You can beat up yourself
or you can try
to trust your love and what you know you can be
all you know you can be

use your strength and intelligence
no need to fight just share what's there
describe it out from your inner sense
you don’t need to be alone with this

You don’t have to take em on
you don't have to take em all alone
don't take them
don't take them on your own
You don’t have to hold it back
Don’t hold back

Hold my Feet to the fire
E Slide Picking on the bijou
For sake your desire
Sing a little higher

Don't chase 'cos you won't find it
It's caught It's just bad timing
For sake your desire
Sing a little higher

Your self Is all your having
My peace is all I'm using
For sake my desire
Sing a little higher

I know I know I'm dreaming
I dream I dream I'm knowing
For sake our desire
Sing a little higher

Coming around
Coming around
Its coming back around
Coming around
Coming around
Its coming back around

I smell the beast a coming
I taste its senses sharpening
I see the fear as it builds
When they hear it snarling
They feel their power crumbling
They feel their feet are stumbling
Their falling down to the ground and their fevers pumping

Coming around
Coming around
Its coming back around
Coming around
Coming around
Its coming back around

Well their four to the floor
As their crawling for the door
Its seems fair they never prepared
When they've seen this all and more before
They feel the fists are falling
They hear the hunters call
Let them go
You do not know
How hard they try
When the wait is falling

Coming around
Coming around
Its coming back around
Coming around
Coming around
Its coming back around

Oh i'm sorry Im late
Said i'm sorry i'm too late
Oh i'm sorry Im late
Said i'm sorry i'm too late

Oh mr Destiny
Was awoken to sound
Of the sun dripping down
She never was blessed
Of her mr destiny
Said Oh i'm sorry Im late
said i'm sorry i'm too late
Oh i'm sorry Im late
said i'm sorry i'm too late

What fates impose
we all must abide
by and by
your do well not to resist
the wind and the tied
don't fight the tied

Oh i'm sorry Im late
said i'm sorry i'm too late
Oh i'm sorry Im late
said i'm sorry i'm too late

If it is now
it is not to come
if it is not to come
it is now
if it is not now
it is yet to come

Oh i'm sorry Im late
said i'm sorry i'm too late
Oh i'm sorry Im late
said i'm sorry i'm too late
too late too late too lazy

Hang me on the line
Hang me till I'm dry
I'm never gonna get
Any better than wet
If I'm not hanging on the line

I was going to fast
To save my glass of wine
You know I've been drinking
Oh drinking till I was drunken dry

Oh the barman said
Take another dose
And I propose
That you might bet
That I got home pretty wet

Hang me on the line
Hang me till I'm dry
I'm never gonna get
Any better than wet
If I'm not hanging on the line

When's it gonna rain ?
It's been fretting all day
that it's coming our way
When's it gonna rain?
You better stay awake
cos I don't want to be found
in a puddle on the ground

Hang me on the line
Hang me till I'm dry
I'm never gonna get any better than wet
If I'm not hanging on the line
I'm never gonna get any better than wet
If I'm not hanging on the line
I'm never gonna get any better than wet
If I'm not hanging on the line

I'm still scared
Of certain types of change
Especially the ones
We all must make
My feet burns
Oh the waters still to hot for me
Summer falls from it's frame
And only emptiness remains
Only emptiness remains

You're still delicate and wise
You've known it all the while
Feel the breeze
Seems uncertain which direction to proceed
Chance to seize has passed
Now it's no longer guaranteed
It's no longer what we need

You tell me what to think
And what to do
And I pay you no mind
Until enough time has passed
To make it too late to decide
Too late to decide

Come let the last
Taste of water touch your lips
Don't deprive your senses
For there's little else to sip
Cold feel burns
From his temper that is all laid out
My hard thoughts turn
But there's still so little time to work it out
Only time can work it out

You tell me what to think
And what to do
And I pay you no mind
Until enough time has passed
To make it too late to decide
Too late to decide

You tell me what to think
And what to do
And I pay you no mind
Until enough time has passed
To make it too late to decide
Too late to decide

One day I'm going down in the water
Down in the gloomy deep
I'll be dangling my knees
Down in the gloomy deep
Supping on the silent water
Down in the gloomy deep
On the bayful river leathe
Down in the Gloomy Deep
Down in the Gloomy Deep

Drop by drop My being is forgot
Drip by drip My state will slowly slip
Drop by drop My being is forgot
Drip by drip My state will slowly slip
From my hand into the water's grip

Slow and silent the water flows
down in the gloomy deep
Trickling out my memory goes
down in the gloomy deep
Draining all life's eagerness
down in the gloomy deep
Lost in sweet forgetfulness
Down

Drop by drop My being is forgot
Drip by drip My state will slowly slip
Drop by drop My being is forgot
Drip by drip My state will slowly slip
From my hand into the water's grip

We will come here before the fire
down in the gloomy deep
to where our business will be
down in the gloomy deep
before we do his errands
down in the gloomy deep
on the bayfull river leathe
down in the gloomy deep
down in the gloomy deep
down in the gloomy deep
down in the gloomy deep

A world ruled by a puppet king
With wooden glazed eyes
Only hollow within
One hand raised high
To inspire the masses
The other hand behind his back
Fingers crossed and ready to crack
High above in the shadows
The puppet king strings rise
To the windigo's cold grasp
And the truth that's hidden from their eyes

And it laughs to itself
As it pulls on his strings
It whispers in the kings ear
Soon our strings will grow and touch everything

Riches and greed is how we'll deceive
Said the voice from the Shadows
Their hearts and their minds will soon concede
When we promise them a life of ease
Sure enough came the people
Frenzied and willing
To do anything for their king
As long as he's still giving
So they stood up in their lines
Waiting to receive
But little did they know this tempting show
Would bring them to their knees

And it laughs to itself
As it pulls on his strings
It whispers in the kings ear
'Soon our strings will grow and touch everything'
Everything
Everything

The people shouted out to their king
As they fell to theirs knees
Said 'how could you let this happen
How could you just let this be
But the words were lost inside
The puppet kings hollow hide
and the fingers still behind his back
began to split, splinter, snap and crack
Then out came the demon
said I have you all
Its taken some time and my cunning mind
But now I have you all
But now I have you all
But now I have you all

She's a silly little thing
Always waiting in the wings
With no one around to confide
Her feet hold firmly in the line
Oh the cannon shoots her out
As the beat fears to stop
Oh she's hearing all about
The winds of change are blowing out

Oh such a silly thing
She's waiting in the wings
Of her Sleepy little town
Where all the young boys run around
She can say what she means
There's no pressure to believe
In her sleepy little town
she'll come on in leaps and bounds
you can see all the signs left behind
look for her there

Held in a big black picture book
That's still hanging on the wall
it's never had a second look
since the warrior kings fall
now the first frost has come
its shining brightly from their guns
she' always feared to walk alone
their always there to take her home

Oh such a silly thing
She’s waiting in the wings
of her Sleepy little town
where all the young boys run around
she can say what she means
there's no pressure to believe
In her sleepy little town
she'll come on in leaps and bounds
you can see all the signs left behind
look for her there
in her sleepy little town
she'll come on in leaps and bounds
she can say what she means
there's no pressure to believe
In her sleepy little town
she makes the young boys run around
you can see all the signs left behind
look for her there look for her there

Lately it comes back to these four little words
Darling you know that I've never said them
when it comes to this you know I always fear the worst
I like to live my life so careless
Sometimes these words don't know just where to belong
When my minds too loud for my thoughts to hear
I know I don't deserve to make you wait so long
When these are the days I know I will hold so dear

Just wait a little longer
Until I finished my song girl
Just wait a little longer
I still live in my own world

In order these letters will ring out eternally
While ambivalent sight is sharpening strife
To tumble these sounds is to shout out finality
Not to wander through life with age passing by
Now I know that I don't need a question mark
If I scribbled these shapes out on to the page
Would it fear less if I took it out from the dark
There's no telling how long your patience will wait

Just wait a little longer
Until I finished my song girl
Just wait a little longer
I still live in my own world
Just wait a little longer
Until I finished my song girl
Just wait a little longer
I still live in my own world

Sometimes these words don't know where to belong
In my carelessness
in my finished song
my thoughts are too loud
for my heart to hear
and know you don't deserve to pay so dear
wait, wait a little bit longer
can you wait just a little longer
Wait a little longer
Ive finished my song girl
Just wait a little longer I'm still in my own world
Lately it comes back to these four little words
