1. LAVA
Walk to a sunlit place
Just go further, higher
Stop to watch the street ballet
Walk until the streetsigns twist
Going over, under and
Back to the start again
This is all I have to offer you
It's all I can give
This is all I have to offer you
It's all I can do
Running back into
Running into lava
Running back into
Running into lava
Walk to a sunken place
Downwards, downwards
Stop to watch the street decay
This is all I have to offer you
It's all I can give
This is all I have to offer you
It's all I can do
[This is all I have to offer]
[This is all I have to offer]
[This is all I have to offer]
[This is all I have to offer]
[This is all I have to offer]
[This is all I have to offer]
[Offer, offer]
Running back into
Running into lava
Running back into
Running into lava
Running into lava
2. MISADVENTURES IN BROADCASTING
Smile
For the camera
You know I'll know if you don't
You know I'll see right through that front
It's all about style
To hell with context
Leave it convex
Bloated and empty inside
I need a fix
I need to expand my line of sight
To see all shades of light
I need to paint this damn town blue
And I'll tell myself I'm doing it just for you
Just for you
I know it's right, can't you see
I'm doing it just for you
Just for you
Just for you
I know I'm right
Just wait and see
Rewind
Filtered through a TV from the 1960’s
The town looks the same and still so different
And this time
I throw it out the window so you can't miss it
The color seeps in through cracks in the glass
And in the centre I see you
I see you
I see you
I know it’s right, can't you see
I’m doing it just for you
Just for you
Just for you
I know it’s right, can’t you see
The cracks in the glass
The cracks in the glass
The cracks in the glass
The cracks in the glass
Oh, the cracks in the glass
In the glass, in the glass, in the glass
In the glass, in the glass, in the glass
In the glass, in the glass, in the glass
In the glass, in the glass, in the glass
I need to expand my line of sight
To see all shades of light
I need to paint this damn town blue
And I'll tell myself I'm doing it just for you
Just for
3. OUTER LANE
Breathe in, don't you breathe in
There's smoke in the air
There's cinders and flares
Breathe in, don't you breathe in
There's a fire about
Down in the south
And if you were to find it
Lighting up the skies on high
If it were to blind you
Reflected in the bells and kites
We'd go down this lane at night
There's a place where we could hide
If we closed our eyes
We could still avoid the lights
Unfound
Easy, please go easy
You've been lost in the fire
I've been down rivers of wine
Easy, please go easy
I know I've been way out of line
Half the time
And if you were to find me
Down here by the riverbed
If you were blindsided
Would you dip your feet instead
And go down this lane at night
There's a place where we could hide
If we closed our eyes
We could still avoid the lights
Down this lane at night
There's a place where we could hide
If we closed our eyes
We could still avoid the lights
Unfound
4. THE GREAT WAVE
Monsoon
The flood's coming in
Flock to
The house on the hill
There's a leak in the ceiling
And the hearth has gone cold
Nothing beats the feeling
Of a heart behind walls
Leave a light
For us in the dark
I won't fight
If you take off
Will you cut the lock
And break through the ceiling
I'll let you go
In peace
Before the flood takes us all
Drifiting
Leviathan's call
It makes you wonder
If there ever was a here at all
Slowly pulled under
The water's gone cold
Nothing beats the feeling
Of seeing you bathed in gold
Leave a light
For us in the dark
I won't fight
If you take off
Will you cut the lock
And break through the ceiling
I'll let you go
In peace
Will you cut the lock
And break through the ceiling
So we can fly
Outta here
5. IN BETWEEN
Confined within a breeze
Hearing nothing real
And talking to the sea
About old news, history
Two tomes, lost to me
On who I am and used to be
I took a right turn off the freeway
Botched our jubilee
And spent it talking to the sea
To the sea
You ought to take that chance
To leave and not get stuck here in between
Who I am and used to be
You ought to take that chance
To leave and not get stuck here in between
Who I am and used
To be
I'm at the peak of the Barre des Écrins
White as the valleys below
Only a step and a slip to let go
I've sown together the fields
A patchwork made to speak
Of who I am and used to be
I took a right turn off the peak
Skid down off the ridge
As I watched you cross the sea
Cross the sea
You've left behind Marseilles
Be that as it may
You've found a million ways
Be that as it may
You've left behind Marseilles
Be that as it may (ought to turn back, you ought to turn back)
You've found a million ways
Be that as it may (ought to turn back, you ought to turn back)
You ought to take that chance
To leave and not get stuck here in between
Who I am and used to be
You ought to take that chance
It's different now, we're all caved in
Peeled and pulled apart again
The patchwork covers you and me
Needles falling from the trees
Sparrows soar among the seams
Of who I am and used to be
