Get Better

Dead life smile on morning mirror lips
Make-up dries, flicked fix with fingertips
it's ritualistic, immunised
but you can't deny the truth in your eyes
(chorus)
it's only when you cut out your heart
hold it, expose it, you can start
to get better
... get better
Wipe it clean, leaving blank slate face
Chest expands in this new breathing space
Watching the plume from your cigarette
In the ash that collects at last accept...
(chorus)

Our Lady of the Water
06:35
|

Our lady of the water is bed-bound;
She’s found herself marooned.
Far from the green and blue.
And now we’re here, too.
The small crowd ebbs and flows;
The noise of the world recedes.
You drink though a short straw;
And drown out others’ needs.
Ignore the thing that feeds.
Sing now, sing softly
Sing all your songs, we’ll bind them
‘Coz silence loves a loner
And loneliness is mayhem
Here’s to your soul, here’s to your pulse;
Here’s to your deep breathes of life.
Here’s to all that’s gone before,
Here’s to all your heights.
Sing now, sing softly
Sing all your songs, we’ll bind them
‘Coz silence loves a loner
And loneliness is mayhem
Let’s not chart what’s to come
Just set your boat into the night

Candy Crush
03:20
|

Sweet thing, strawberry cream
Such a delightful treat
Candy -- I know it's bad for me
But I can't resist the taste
CHORUS
The taste of the rush
Hit dopamine crush
Keep me coming back for more
I'm always at the store
Just a sugar junkie chasing the rush of my candy crush
Can't go cold turkey, no
I start to shiver and shake
Say please, get on your knees
But it's not just empty calories
CHORUS

Sink into the earth

(verse 1)
Life is daydream
It's my world
True depiction
Of life as fiction
(verse 2)
Lying head
Soft grass my bed
Wind breathes, Earth revolves
Receives me and dissolves....
(chorus)
Voices sound their speechless words
Reluctant spirits waiting to be heard
Call me, lure me, my dreams have birth
Drifting, sinking
Into the Earth
(verse 3)
Candle game
Hands dance round the violet flame
Desire so much
Can't resist to touch....
(Chorus)
(bridge)
Sinking down
Body descends
To the mirror world
And my true friends
The corporeal me
That you perceive
Is the merest taste
Of what lies beneath
(repeat verse 1)

Sky begins to lighten
As we head down to the sea
Silhouette horizon
Flax and cabbage trees
You can hear me, feel me
You can know me
Sand between our fingers
Bloodshot in our eyes
The moon's a waning crescent
Pale in the sunrise
You can hear me, feel me
You can know me
Walk down to the sea caves
Rocks carved by centuries
Through ocean's deep devotion
We glimpse eternity
Yeaahhh... You can hear this, our tune
As we wait for the new moon
