The Box 02:56
There an intimacy In the distance you keep Makes my every word feel so exposed These are dangerous times You use them and expose them ‘till they blind out the light I’ll take you by the hand ‘till the money changes hands Free up from your pre-conception Language of interception This tiny mind Expands on a journey Beyond hopes, fears, and expectation Thinking outside the box Out of the box Into the box Into smaller spaces Wide open mind But never mind This box is nothing more than a box I’ll lead you by the hand ‘till the money’s changed the land Freedom from perspiration, languid and differentiation This tiny mind Expands on a journey Beyond hopes, fears, and expectation Crammed inside A box too large No stone unturned Reveals a hole Hole in the heart Hole in the head Home in the bed Hole in your memory Whole in my memory I’ll think about your hands And when the money blackens them Free from contamination Boxed up for my own protection This tiny mind Expands on a journey Beyond hopes, fears, and expectation

Feelings I’ll atone for my fears You never accept I have to make my own mistakes When I was a child The signs were so simple then Like the day that you told me I would pay for my sins The writing on the wall is lies and deception The stories you told are desolation and pain Stealing The youth that I wanted And I share all my time I was waiting for the wind and rain You laid down All the rules I had to follow All the memories and the sorrow You seemed to lead me on A window on my sheltered mind Now further from the source Further from the truth Empty And cold as your loving The dreams that we shared Were yours and not mine Destitute and tired I was lost inside the city I had never thought I’d ever say You leave me lost for words

Elephantine 03:46
Elephantine You look just fine Withdrawn under the snow Elephantine The fire fades We watch the embers glow Elephantine Smaller than my mind Minutes short of patience Shower in your afterglow You yourself are sharp with skill Sneak in softly for the kill Elephantine Say hello Looking deep within Elephantine I have to go The firelight is fading Elephantine In the calm I hear your heart is beating Shower in your afterglow You yourself are sharp with skill Sneak in softly for the kill Subtlety and concentration Never seem to call your way Small details of your frustration Opening old wounds Elephantine When will you see Miles short of patience Elephantine The crashing sea Drowns the warmth of southern sun Elephantine Clear with me Your thoughts of spirituality Subtlety and concentration Never seem to call your way Small details of your frustration Opening old wounds

Amandine 05:39
Carefree crashes through crowds Light so often reflected Thoughts collected on clouds Have a way of re-arranging The spirit has left the house The saviour spoke too loud Light at the end of the world, come alive Flight of the birds soar beyond our dreams She took half of my hand And held it tight She knew half of truth And cherished it like a child Her spirit has left the house They came and spoke too soon Cool my head, the boat is ready Cruel my thoughts, the time for leaving Sound ahead four fathoms shallow Know yourself for others follow The lights At the end Of the world Are alive The flights Of the birds Are beyond Our dreams

The Beach 02:33
Let’s go for a walk on the beach We can take off our shoes, feel the sand in our toes Let’s go for a walk on the beach We can swim in the sea if it’s not too cold I love your eyes now Your blue-grey eyes now But it’s too late now Won’t you come with me? Let’s go for a walk on the beach We can watch the girls as they take off their clothes Let’s go for a walk on the beach We can build a fire after the sun goes down I love your eyes now Your blue-grey eyes now But it’s too late now Won’t you come with me? Let’s go for a walk on the beach We’ll spend some time out of reach I’ll spend some time with you We’ll watch the sun and sea Let’s go for a walk on the beach We can watch the sad and lonely people Let’s go for a walk on the beach We can watch it empty for the winter Won’t you come with me?

The Idealist 03:46
Change Is underrated as an ideal To work towards a goal An ever shifting landscape Games like those games we play With hard and painful rules To negotiate a truce You need to know exactly where you stand Dive into your arms Agony and passion is all I know The spirit strong and the body weak These thoughts so sublime Delicate and intricate The detail is often lost by the time you speak I once was an idealist, until I touched you I'd never known pain, I'd never found love I once was an idealist, until I breathed you in I'd never found pain, I'd never known love All in all this change that promised So many opportunities To love and to embrace Put your hand in mine I will lead you where you never thought you’d go Where you never thought you’d dare to go
7.
These February skies So low and menacing More welcoming than your bedroom The cold numbs your fingers Yet you still persevere In claiming Everything is going as it should Close your eyes I see everything you don’t tell me Nothing hides behind Those eyes Will you ever reach the horizon? Will you reach out for my hand? Tell me the truth Spare me the suspense There’s no lie You can hide behind Every thought and move betrays The pain of this disease you won’t admit to I’ll show you to salvation But the hardest path to follow Is the one You know will save you Remember me When there’s no way out I’ll still have that light of hope Burning bright For you You’re one in a million
8.
Down near the water You splashed me with your lies Laid down beside me Like a thorn in my side The thorn protects the roses Like the rose of your cheeks The cheek that you show me When you talk down on me Talk those precious words Words that shine like diamonds Diamonds are a girl’s best friend Friend you’ll never be What do you want to be when you grow up? Grow up and get a life Life is most fragile Fragile like your thoughts and words Take my thoughts and twist them Take my words and destroy them For through everything we are We are perverted by language Eyes Have you lost contact with your eyes? Do they reveal your inner lies? Reflect on these pathetic lives? Words Words that reveal the inner secret Words that conceal the obvious detail Yearning for time already lost

Medication 05:20
Take these pills and harvest time Like these ills that make us what we are Far from home and comforts of Mother Will she remind us to keep taking the medication And the warm summer rain Washes out the dust and the stale memories And the warm summer rain Flushes out the trust you once had in yourself Take these thrills so cheap and easy And the dreams will eat away time The fate of life changes everything The stars remind us to keep taking the medication And the warm summer rain Washes out the dust and the stale memories And the warm summer rain Washes out the trust we once had in ourselves Meditation Contemplate Freshen up – death brings comfort Communication Talk of faith So wise – death brings comfort End it all So simple Medication – death brings comfort

Pewter Eyes 06:36
You watch from your pewter eye You talk from your iron lips I listen hard to hear the words The walls move but won't stay still I walk slowly through the fields The grass curls around my toes I find arousal in these things I find pain within these thoughts Curse Severin for he is waiting Warm outside but cold within I lay down expecting comfort The soil burns my aching skin I peel the skin off your body Looking for the truth within I find nothing you're so shallow Nothing left but withered skin Turn out the light You will never see what I've seen... Turn out the light It's hard and sometimes shines into your eyes Turn out the light You just don't want to see the pain we are Turn out the light Just let the darkness befriend you Slow down my love You never slow down my love Feel the warmth of my gentle hands Feel the touch of my saddened eyes Come and lead with me Come and set me free

We've opened for For Against, Chameleons Vox, Red Zebra, The Breath of Life.

We never set out to sound like anything or anyone. Just to reach out and touch your emotions.
