Hunters 04:16
With anxious breath she calls a name The taxi waits for its exchange In streets so vacant in the night It moves away and out of sight In the tail lights a strategy The hiss of cars inside a dream This blur of colours in the room I lay my head upon your tomb
2.
Calling all the lovers Who scramble up the hill View the desolation You stand still Waterless and rocky The terraces undone The silence of the evening Mocks the sun To stay And you pray You pay heed to ghosts that come to you This way No more shame What you do is measure of your truth Loving what you’re saying You mock their solemn words You want to sing and dance Through towns absurd What have they been scheming Patriotic garb In moonlight we’re as equal as another part
3.
They Thrived 04:51
Go now and find just what you’ve run away since living Your face before you were alive. Your features, your hair and those green eyes your Parents gave you, What did you do before they thrived. They thrived They thrived. Listen to what moves in the garden as you’re sleeping No one can hear it now you're gone. Hold me as love will underpin all that you’re needing Find me beyond the rising sun. They thrived. They thrived. They thrived. They thrived.

Abundance 03:06
Silently it’s waiting Like rocks against the sea Abundant as the breeze Take a ride to nowhere Make love upon the sand She wants you, but has no plans
5.
Sun shines in your eyes All you knew were lies Leaf caught by the wind And flies Actor in a play Needle in the hay Puppet pulls the strings Of fate Was so long ago Days when we were close Stranger to me now In robes Harbour and the weir Regulate the fear A ship must always sail It’s clear
6.
You were down in the underground Looking for a girl A dirty face and a stolen case You thought you had misplaced But I don’t know What means to you The air is getting stale Its just a face The coloured race That tackles with your soul The light is dim and her body thin You lay her on the ground Strike a match and undo the latch Let her roam the town Did you throw into the drain The weapon and your shame They’ll hunt you down You’ll be found Hanging upside down
7.
News Hive 04:11
The flowers are hung to dry The birds choose not to fly It’s kind of fun To see the river run Back up the mountain and towards the sun Some cake for a hungry girl Some rain for a thirsty world From the New York Times To our local crimes We think in news but forget the lines
8.
Nevermore 04:24
Just in case you did not know Find a way to overthrow I’m so high could almost kill You don’t wanna be Fear runs through the TV screen Streets are burning hear them scream I just might march to your door And shout nevermore
