Standing in the station blinded by the sun
All this innovation everything we’ve done
Only one emotion ringing in my ears
Louder than the ocean you will not be here
Shockwave
You blow it all away
You blow it all away
Shockwave
You throw it all away
You throw it all away
Shockwave
Found my destination trying to begin
All our information scattered on the wind
Dark external forces chill me to the bone
Where are my resources this is not my home
Shockwave
You blow it all away
You blow it all away
Shockwave
You throw it all away
You throw it all away
Shockwave
As sure as the way that sun follows rain
As sure as the way that sun follows rain
As sure as the way that night follows day
As sure as the way that night follows day
You blow it all away
You blow it all away
Shockwave
You throw it all away
You throw it all away
Shockwave

Due Diligence
04:37

If I was diligent I’d be watching the skies
If I was hesitant I would be enthralled
If I was listening I’d only hear lies
If I was eloquent would I fool the world?
And you want to go out tonight
And you want to go out tonight
But you’re scared that what you say
Might just get you put away
And you want to go out tonight
And you want to go out tonight
But you’re scared that what you say
Might just get you put away
But all these things are sent to test you
If you were terrified would you turn to stone?
If you were paranoid would you sleep alone?
You dance with innocence time after time
And by your eloquence you would rule the world
And you want to go out tonight
And you want to go out tonight
But you’re scared that what you say
Might just get you put away
And you want to go out tonight
And you want to go out tonight
But you’re scared that what you say
Might just get you put away
But all these things are sent to hurt you
All these things are sent to hurt you
Due diligence
Due diligence
And you want to go out tonight
And you want to go out tonight
But you’re scared that what you say
Might just get you put away
And you want to go out tonight
And you want to go out tonight
But you’re scared that what you say
Might just get you put away
But all these things are sent to bless you
All these things are sent to bless you

On a Night Like This
04:04
|
|||
|
The stars look close on a night like this
Lying still beneath them
The air feels full of new ideas
And I’ve just got to reach them
All I know there’s a little way to go
But it only goes to show how far we’ve come
On a night like this hope just needs a spark
Like Heaven’s kiss a lamplight in the dark
Some inspiration revelation falling from our lips
How can I resist ‘cos words just hit the mark
On a night like this
My senses reel and the patterns change
Time is just a shadow
The fleeting falls and the best remains
And I don’t want to let go
All I know there’s a little way to go
But it only goes to show how far we’ve come
On a night like this hope just needs a spark
Like Heaven’s kiss a lamplight in the dark
Some inspiration revelation falling from our lips
How can I resist ‘cos words just hit the mark
On a night like this
And I know and I know and I know and I know
You feel the same
On a night like this
And I know and I know and I know and I know
You fan the flame
All I know
On a night like this hope just needs a spark
Like Heaven’s kiss a lamplight in the dark
Some inspiration revelation falling from our lips
How can I resist ‘cos words just hit the mark
On a night like this
Some inspiration revelation falling from our lips
How can I resist ‘cos words just hit the mark
On a night like this

In the in Between
03:56
|

Love lies lost
Doubting but counting the cost
Past impossibilities
Futures still to come
Forming and melting like frost
‘Cos you know I’m giving it back giving it back
I don’t want to feel that I’ve lost it forever
‘Cos I’m giving it back giving it back
I don’t want to feel that I’ve lost it forever
And it’s getting late and it’s getting late
And all I want to do is close my eyes and dream
In the in between
Ice cold heart
Broken bleeding and scarred
Hollow words hope deferred
Slowly turning numb
Forcing these oceans apart
‘Cos you know I’m giving it back giving it back
I don’t want to feel that I’ve lost it forever
‘Cos I’m giving it back giving it back
I don’t want to feel that I’ve lost it forever
And it’s getting late and it’s getting late
And all I want to do is close my eyes and dream
In the in between
And just for a moment past promises are shooting like stars
And I’ll keep on hoping I’ll catch my dream I’ll have it all
My star will fall but until it does
I’ll be giving it back giving it back
I don’t want to feel that I’ve lost it forever
‘Cos I’m giving it back giving it back
I don’t want to feel that I’ve lost it forever
And it’s getting late and it’s getting late
And all I want to do is close my eyes and dream
In the in between

Butterfly
03:52
|

You said I was a butterfly
I thought that I could touch the sky
Then you took away my wings
You shot me down and caged me in
You said I was a dragonfly
I thought I’d have my time to shine
You smothered me and shut me in
And now I can’t see anything
My head says it’s over
My head says it’s over
My head says it’s over
But my heart says it’s not over
I’ve had enough of all this introspection
You got me heading in the wrong direction
How is it possible I ever got this low
I’ve got to let this go go go
Got to let this go go go
Got to let this go go go
Got to let this go
‘Cos it’s not over
You said I was a firefly
I thought that I could light the night
But up to now I’ve never shown
My bioluminescent glow
My head says it’s over
My head says it’s over
My head says it’s over
But my heart says it’s not over
I’ve had enough of all this introspection
You got me heading in the wrong direction
How is it possible I ever got this low
I’ve got to let this go go go
Got to let this go go go
Got to let this go go go
Got to let this go
‘Cos it’s not over
Go go go got to let this
Go go go got to let this
You said I was a butterfly
I knew that I was meant to fly
I thought you took away my wings
But it’s not over

Spectrometer

Try to look hard and split the light
Read the separate shades inside
Red for rage and red for love
Blue for when you’ve had enough
I can see right through
I can see right through
Every cry and every hue
I can see right through
I can see right through
Try to look down and kill the light
Dark the flames of anthracite
Red for shame and red for pride
Black for when your heart has died
I can see right through
I can see right through
Every cry and every hue
I can see right through
I can see right through
Try to look up and change the light
Filter out this pain inside
Blue for sadness blue for love
White for when you’ve had enough
I can see right through
I can see right through
Every cry and every hue
I can see right through
I can see right through
Try to look hard and split the light

Fox
03:15
|

|
I didn’t mean to sound so cynical
But sometimes it can seem so rational
Sometimes life doesn’t do what it says on the packet
But it’s not even like that it’s not even like that
Sometimes I need the fox
To remind me to trap it
‘Cos I hate not knowing it all
When I see you knowing for sure
But it’s not even like that
It’s not even like that
And maybe I’ve just read too many things
By judges who can misjudge everything
Sometimes I think I’ve got what it takes to unwrap it
But it’s not even like that it’s not even like that
Sometimes I need the fox
To remind me to trap it
‘Cos I hate not knowing it all
When I see you knowing for sure
But it’s not even like that
It’s not even like that
I fall for all my own conspiracies
And sometimes they can look so real to me
But I hate not knowing it all
‘Cos I hate not knowing it all
When I see you knowing for sure
But it’s not even like that
It’s not even like that

Scarlet Thread
03:54
|

|
Can you hear me? Voice in my head getting louder
Can you hear me? Sound of your blood getting stronger
Falling in falling in four dimensions to someone else’s home
Drawing me drawing me just like gravity now my perception’s blown
Standing in standing in a hall of legends feeling that I’m so small
Realise realise I stand with them and now I’m ten feet tall
Can you hear me? Voice in my head calls me onward
Can you hear me? Cries of your blood make me stronger
Sometimes I know you’re with me sometimes I stand alone
This life I know is shattered and now I’m on my own
Sometimes I know you’re with me sometimes I feel alone
The world I knew is scattered and now I’m on my own
Ninety nine years of a tale unread
Finding I’m bound by a scarlet thread
You are not forgotten
Ninety nine tears in the wilderness
Knowing you lived with the shadow of death
You are not forgotten
Ninety nine hopes of a life unlived
Feeling the weight of all you missed
You are not forgotten
Ninety nine years of a tale unread
Finding I’m bound by a scarlet thread
Living in living in three dimensions the pieces start to fall
Realise realise my connection that I’ve been there before
Standing with standing with all my legends why am I here at all?
Realise realise I’m accepted and now I’m ten feet tall
I will not forget the life you never led
Bound by a scarlet thread
Can you hear me?

Down Down
03:47
|

|
Looks like you’re twenty steps from a happy ever after
Or maybe twenty more from a permanent disaster
And I know and I know and I know it’s not quite how it goes
But it’s just the same it’s just the same
So when you started out were you looking for this outcome?
Always a step ahead not a soul you couldn’t outrun
And you know and you know and you know your boldness only grows
But it’s not a game it’s never a game
You’re going down down
Down like a lead balloon
You’re going down down
I’m not going to see you soon
No little black box or aftershocks
Would ever lead me back to you
You’re going down down
Down down down down
Just one more rabbit hole and this will all be over
One final episode you’ll have your four leaf clover
But I know but I know and I know you’ll never have enough
Just one more score always one more score
You got so close to it that you could nearly touch it
But you had to push push push until you self-destructed
And you know and you know and you know that you traded all your love
For a little more for just a little bit more
You’re going down down
Down like a lead balloon
You’re going down down
I’m not going to see you soon
No little black box or aftershocks
Would ever lead me back to you
You’re going down down
Down down down down
You’re not going to ask for my forgiveness
You don’t think you’re doing something wrong
I need to know I’m not complicit in this
Even though I followed you so long
You’re going down down down
You’re going down down
Down like a lead balloon
You’re going down down
I’m not going to see you soon
No little black box or aftershocks
Would ever lead me back to you
You’re going down down
Down down down down

Strong Enough
04:02

I faced the storm so readily danced in the rain so gracefully
Like Heaven on a wave never lost my way
Can I go back go back to the start again?
I walked the fire so easily shone in the dark so eagerly
Found treasure in a cave always found my way
Can I go back go back to the start again?
Lately I’ve been falling apart falling apart at the seams
So over this mountain so tired of counting
No day to go down in I’m not waving or drowning
I could be quiet now but who does that who does that?
Just got to change what I’m looking at
I won’t give up I’m worth more than that more than that
I’m going back ‘cos maybe now I’m strong enough
I watch the sky for every sign hope could arrive at any time
Maybe I’m not sure what I’m looking for but
Can I go back go back to the start again?
A leaf on the wind is taunting me carried on the breeze could it be me?
Eleventh hour grace my heart begins to race
Can I go back go back to the start again?
Lately I’ve been falling apart falling apart at the seams
So over this mountain (so over it)
So tired of counting (so tired of it)
No day to go down in (no day for this)
I’m not waving or drowning
I could be quiet now but who does that who does that?
Just got to change what I’m looking at
I won’t give up I’m worth more than that more than that
I’m going back ‘cos maybe now I’m strong enough
Maybe now I’m strong enough strong enough strong enough
Maybe now I’m strong enough strong enough strong enough
So over this mountain so tired of counting
No day to go down in I’m not waving or drowning
I could be quiet now but who does that who does that?
Just got to change what I’m looking at
I won’t give up I’m worth more than that more than that
I’m going back ‘cos maybe now I’m strong enough
So over this mountain (so over it)
So tired of counting (so tired of it)
No day to go down in (no day for this)
I’m going back ‘cos maybe now I’m strong enough

Hammer
04:15
|

|
I’ll let you feel like you’re empowered
I’ll let you steal just like a coward
But when the hammer comes down
You’ll see that you have nothing
I’ll help you change your status
I’ll help you chase your haters
But when the hammer comes down
You’ll see I owe you nothing
When the hammer comes down
You’ll see you owe me everything
And I will sing so sweetly till you believe completely
If you sound the warning you’ll be gone
I’ll let you be the story
So you can taste the glory
But when the glamour runs out
You’ll see you did it for me
I’ll give you keys for your freedom
But you’ll be far too hard at work to ever need them
And when the hammer comes down
You’ll see they opened nothing
When the hammer comes down
You’ll see you owe me everything
And I will sing so sweetly till you believe completely
If you sound the warning you’ll be gone by morning
In the morning you’ll be gone
In the morning you’ll be gone
In the morning you’ll be gone
In the morning you’ll be gone
You’ll be gone
And you could shoot the sniper
And you could slay the viper
But when the hammer comes down
You always pay the piper
And when the hammer comes down
You’ll see you owe me everything
When the hammer comes down
You’ll see I owe you nothing

Kings and Queens
03:37

|
From all that we know all that we’ve seen
You will be king and I will be queen
So this is a test of senses and sins
Night time has passed and training begins
And all that we are all that we’ll be
Follows from now and what we believe
And when we have passed through the between
You will be king and I will be queen
From the earth to the sun
To the stars and far beyond
So it is done
From the heart to the tongue
To the hand that overcomes
So it is done
And when we have passed through the between
You will be king and I will be queen

Roll and List
03:36

So the truth is this that I just don’t get it
I roll and list like a boat in weather
So who exists and who is legend?
Well you think you got it sussed
But then you’re lost ‘cos the truth looks better
So catch me in your summer tide
Show me I’ll get through
Until I’ve reached the other side
All that I can do is roll and list
So touch my heart the way you promised
And wash my scars with a soap and pumice
So who am I to say who’s honest?
Well you think you know the score
But then you’re sure that you can’t count on it
So catch me in your summer tide
Show me I’ll get through
Until I’ve reached the other side
All that I can do is roll and list
So start me up and shut me down
I’m waiting on my
Fairy tale my silver crown
I’m keeping a watch for
Angels on the afterbrow
And shots across the bow
Shots across the bow
So catch me in your summer tide
Show me I’ll get through
Until I’ve reached the other side
All that I can do is roll and list
Well you think you got it sussed
But then you’re lost ‘cos the truth looks better
Well you think you know the score
But then you’re sure that you can’t count on it
So the truth is this that I just don’t get it

Promises and Dreams
03:47

|
Driving down the road to somewhere better
Better than I’m looking for today
You always said you leave the best till later
Still I know there’s more along the way
Well I can see the future
A little bit more than I used to
And I can sense the patterns
And know what really matters
And I can see a rainbow
Not forgotten what it means
For promises and dreams
So I lay my cards upon the table
You can see it’s not my final hand
And I will play as long as I am able
And still I hope your word is your command
Well I can see the future
A little bit more than I used to
And I can sense the patterns
And know what really matters
And I can see a rainbow
Not forgotten what it means
For promises and dreams
Well I can see the future
A little bit more than I used to
And I can sense the patterns
And know what really matters
And I can see a rainbow
Not forgotten what it means
For promises and dreams
Not forgotten what it means for promises and dreams
(Not forgotten not forgotten not forgotten now)
Not forgotten what it means for promises and dreams
(Not forgotten not forgotten not forgotten now)
Promises and dreams
(Not forgotten not forgotten not forgotten now)
In the in between
(Not forgotten not forgotten not forgotten now)
