We Could Carry On
05:12
|
|||
We could carry on and leave it all behind
Rise, fall, burn it all
We’ll pay it back in kind
And we can cry her name
But she’ll never be, never be bold
We’ll trip the wires in pain
But we’d never be, never be cold
So lead the way
We could carry on and leave it all behind
We’ll find the first of its kind
Keep the animals at bay
One call could open it all
In a fit of come what may
And we can cry her name
But she’ll never be, never be bold
So lead the way
So lead the way
So lead the way

Separated Sadness
04:07
|
|||
Packaged people
In your lanes
Following your imagined pathways
Prescribed roles
Separated sadness
Lives of isolation
Look more deeply
Break down the walls
See the other
Love all
Fear based
Walls of color
Containers of class
Divisions of culture
Us against them
We all fear
Packaged people
Being fed the lie
They are separate
Stuck in their roles
Separated and hurting
Look more closely
Open the doors
See the other
Tear open your package

Subliminal Bliss
03:18
|
|||
As the mist engulfs me
A part of my being lost in subliminal bliss
Nobody knows but it’s been long
To a distant place, I now belong
Clearly I can see at last
It’s not hard to find
But it takes one to define
Drifting and unconfined
My thoughts, like waves they rise
Nobody knows but it’s been long
To a distant place, I now belong
Clearly I can see at last
Such a world beyond me
I wish I was real

Sleeper Dreamer
05:17
|
|||
Dreamer, Sleeper, Deeper
If it’s only cos of you,
That I sleep in till noon,
Lines of white dunes
We live the night through
Deeper Sleeper Corinna
Deeper Sleeper Dreamer
The Failing of our dream
I lost more that just you
Like the way I used to be
and Alpha……

Undo me
Unsteady
I’m pulling deep
Oh man these waves, they’re heavy
I’ve moved everywhere you’ve gone
Every edge we’re turning on
I just came to try and keep forgetting
All the walls are coming down
But these hearts won’t come around
And there’s no more here to be heading
I’m falling through
I’m falling through
But if you find yourself at sea, that’s where I’ll be
I’ll be
I’ll be
And if you find yourself at sea, that’s where I’ll be
All the walls are coming down
But these hearts won’t come around
And there’s no more here to be
I’m falling through
I’m falling through
But if you find yourself at sea
That’s where I’ll be

Leon Tone
04:53
|
|||
If you take a walk to the river bank
You’ll find me, still and waiting
And even If I could turn back time
Oh, I’d choose to be the same guy
Who sits and wonders why
Ponders over God’s design
Oh my..
How moments just fly by
When you chase a dream with all your being
You carve a path that keeps turning
You mould it as you go, like words to a rhyme
Mile after mile, it does wind
Some things you leave behind
Swept into the tide of time
Oh my..
How moments just fly by
And even If I could turn back time
Oh, I’d choose to be the same guy
Who sits and wonders why
Sees beyond the path that winds
Oh my..
How moments just fly by

We‘re Made For Life
03:34
|
|||
Feeding my soul
Sealing your thought
Give everything
We‘re made for life
Fly now Sky high
Eating my soul
Sing your song
Feeding my soul
We ‘re made for life
Fly now Sky high

I Want To Know
05:58
|
|||
Could you come and drag me home?
I wanna turn this ash to gold
Could we bleed?
Could we be loud?
Could we lay it down?
I want to know
I want to know
They’ve got eyes all over town
I still want them anyway
Put them to sleep
Give them a name
Give them my heart
Then give them away
I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
Could you come and walk me home?
I wanna this ash to gold
Could it be me?
Could it be ours?
Could we be seen?
Could we be on?
I want to know

Extraction
04:35
|
|||
We devour everything
Not knowing how to stop
extracted everything
Green to brown
fucking the depleted earth
Our collective greed.
Some of us feel guilt
I’d like to believe I’m innocent
But really?
Mounds of mud
Battered wastelands
Will tomorrow come
To fill my hands
We create untruths
Lies of indignation
We go forth and extract
Exploiting land of poorer nations
Some of us feel guilt
I’d like to believe I’m innocent
But really?
Fill my wallet
It feels empty
Our world is no more real
than worlds before us

Something Feral
04:41
|
|||
Laden with rue
Curled up in his solitude
Arms too weak to hold across
Caving into this interlude
Gifted but something held him back
Until the day when..
Something feral
Grew within him
There was no holding back
No matter how you tried
It was for the better indeed
To leave him be
Longing for the light
The days passed with little to do
“What’s all this for”, he asked
Before he left, his things askew
Twisted, like branches in a storm
Like thunder, he roared
Something feral
Grew within him
There was no holding back
No matter how you tried
It was for the better indeed
To leave him be
To leave him be
In a place he’s free
He sings aloud
Dances with glee
Leave him be
Set him free

Sympathise And Survive
04:26
|
|||
Our Sun
Old Star
Rebirth is
Soon
The times now
We know
The end is
Soon
Hide
And Colide
Sympathise and survive
Find
Harmonise
Think like we’re one
Final
Countdown
Fields of sorrow
Haul life
Mankind
Deep down
Underground
New sun,
New life
All be one
Let life
Be life
