One from the Lung 03:51
lyrics

Now Now, oh-oh (now) I want to see the sun rise (now) I want to taste the sweetness (now) I want to touch warm skin (now) I want to hear the melody (now) I want to smell the hyacinth (now) I want to feel that way again, alright I can see my night is bled out on the line I try and fail I don't know, I don't know why I'd beat it if and only I rolled along the lonely street beneath Lamps and beams run from the sun Burnt damage done One from the lung Now that we've found hope (x4) Well alright (aah-ah) I can hear cicadas in the night The light is pale But it glows, how it glows bright And the sky's a Spanish crimson We sail with winds through a fairer dawn A floating song Rung for the sun Sung by the young One from the lung Now that we've found hope (x5) Now that we've found...

Pitiable Lover 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Since we never said we were thinking ahead How do you suppose this is going to end? Now that I know you're not gonna be my guy Is it wrong to still want you by my side? All I know is that I'm lonely What ever happened to being young and wild and free? I don't want to be your pitiable lover Is it you who should be next to me? When I can collect my thoughts I notice you're always there But only too frequently our love is going nowhere In my head and in my heart I never wanted us to drift apart But I can't stop myself from drifting Maybe one day you'll pull me ashore But for now the tide is shifting All I know is that I'm lonely What ever happened to being young and wild and free? I don't want to be your pitiable lover Is it you who should be next to me? I know I've never given you enough time And I'm not approachable when you're on my mind Please understand I can't treat you the way you want me to This love just ain't true All I know is that I'm lonely What ever happened to being young and wild and free? I don't want to be your pitiable lover Is it you who should be next to me? All I know is that I'm lonely What ever happened to being young and wild and free? I don't want to be your pitiable lover Is it you who should be next to me? Next to me Who should be next to me Next to me Who should be next to me Next to me (x7)

Sabatini 05:32
lyrics
buy track
Do we return? Where do we return? To where do we return? Done return Sabatini malady Space where space ain't meant to be I guess solitude loves company Socialise me Statuesque the clouds remain Stubborn in the photo frame And I'm skipping through the cracks Still as if I was ungrown Settle In the twilight That separates Eyes closed from eyes open Do we return? Where do we return? To where do we return? Done return Sectarian lies disguise A smile that never dies But shares this existential prize Cessation Shades of green, shades of doubt Shifting sun will play us out I'm starving to conceal a shout Staying still is not allowed Move on, move off (x3) Settle In the twilight That separates Eyes closed from eyes open Do we return? Where do we return? To where do we return? Done return Finding the flowerbeds And a dozen roses And the iris And the iris And the iris (x4) Do we return? (x2) And the iris (x2)

Nicobar 05:50
lyrics
buy track
As the ship approaches The sunset comforts me There's an old solace After so long at sea Like a wheel at the helm My life spins constantly Say goodbye to my captain He's the only one who sees On the water (x2) Now the water's black azure A shade that we forgot Memories float back to shore I embrace them Braced for grey skies or not All pass, echoes electrical Wet sand I set to for too far I am monsoon Wide skies are mine on Nicobar The shadow of the hillside makes a friend of me I rise up the mountain as the storm recedes The light is fading though My heaviness is letting go Peaceful is the rain in tow Peaceful is the place I'm home On the wings of an albatross Emigrate regret Thunder sings as I run across Verdant valleys I'll not leave them All pass, echoes electrical Wet sand I set to for too far I am monsoon Wide skies are mine on Nicobar All pass, echoes electrical Wet sand I set to for too far I am monsoon Wide skies are mine on Nicobar I am monsoon Wide skies are mine on Nicobar I am monsoon Wide skies are mine on Nicobar I am monsoon Wide skies are mine on Nicobar I am monsoon Wide skies are mine on Nicobar I am monsoon

Bones 04:48
lyrics
buy track
Your old wheel Seasoned my land Do you still feel the gun steel? Is it cold in your hand? Look how you turn heel And yes I'm a mess at the sting But it still begs the question What exactly are you burying? Curtains Guessed it was time Words flew like birds from a burning nest And the rest will die on the vine I heard that you went west Is it greedy I need to know why? Are you easy to remember or hard to forget? Over me you burn the Indian sign Now I make no bones about it You put that hook in deep I may be but a wraith But you're the one You're the one that's haunting me Shelled up Back to the wall There's a crack in the cell And there's bats in the belfry Am I losing it all? Overdosed on yellow you And forced out to the shade We landed close and close only counts In horseshoes and hand grenades Now I make no bones about it You put that hook in deep I may be but a wraith But you're still haunting me Now I make no bones about it You put that hook in deep I may be but a wraith But you're the one You're the one that's haunting me You're the one You're the one that's haunting me You're the one You're the one that's haunting me You're the one You're the one that's haunting me You're the one You're the one that's haunting me You're the one You're the one that's haunting me You're the one You're the one
