Two weeks later like a surplus reprieve. I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve, I wound it round and round my finger so tight. It turned to purple and a pulse formed in sight, And I knew the beat cause it marched your own beat. I still remember that from our chest to chest then feet to feet. The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush, Of oven airplanes and of distant car points. A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry, A pulse, you're pulse, it's the only thing I can remember. I break, you don't, I was always set to self-destruct, though The fire, the fire, the cracks and the barks like primal music. I set I knew the beat cause it marched your own beat. It's become my engine my own source of heat. I see between us oh the amplifies the sound waves, And every hum and echo in crash paints my cave. A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry, A pulse, you're pulse, it's the only thing I can remember. I break, you don't, I was always set to self-destruct, though The fire, the fire, the cracks and the barks like primal music. La la la la la, la la la la la. La la la la la, la la la la la. La la la la la, la la la la la. A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry, A pulse, you're pulse, it's the only thing I can remember. I break, you don't, I was always set to self-destruct, though The fire, the fire, the cracks and the barks like primal music. |

You cool your bed-warm hands down On the broken radiator, And when you laid them freezin' on me, A mumble can you wake me later. But I don't really want you to stop, And you know it so it doesn't stop you, And runs you hands from my neck to my chest. Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day, And just watch you as the rays tangle up around you face and body. I could sit for hours finding new ways to be odd each minute, Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you. It's been minutes it's been days. It's been all I will remember, Happy lost in your hair And the cold side of the pillow. Your hills and valleys, Are mapped by my intrepid fingers; And in a naked slumber, I dream of this again. Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day, And just watch you as the rays tangle up around you face and body. I could sit for hours finding new ways to be odd each minute, Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you. Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day, And just watch you as the rays tangle up around you face and body. I could sit for hours finding new ways to be odd each minute, Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you. |

Hold on, hold on, let me get the words out before I burst There's no truth at all, poking at the giant eyes of ancient gods Cool heads have failed, now it's time for me to have my turn Kiss me, kiss me, life is way too short to scream and shout Flashed up in my wildest dreams, the dark red blood streams, stretching out like vast cracked ice. The veins of you, the veins of me, like great forest trees Pushing through and on and in Gliding like a satellite in the broken night And when I wake you're there I'm saved Your love is life piled tight and high set against the sky That seems to balance on its own Sing out, sing out, the silence only eats us from the inside up I meant no harm but I only get to say these words too late Wake up, wake up, dreaming only leads to more and more nightmares Snap out of it you said it in a way that showed you really cared. Flashed up in my wildest dreams, the dark red blood streams, stretching out like vast cracked ice The veins of you, the veins of me, like great forest trees Pushing through and on and in Gliding like a satellite in the broken night And when I wake you're there I'm saved Your love is life piled tight and high set against the sky That seems to balance on its own Send your lifeboats out for me Send your lifeboat out |

Tell me that you want to dance I want to feel your pulse on mine Just treat me like a stolen glance To yourself A dark shape on a golden floor A sleeping planet with a molten core From above we'd cut a slow eight shape And much more I'm a peasant in your princess arms Penniless with only charm As we're leveled by the low, hot lights And disarmed I'm not afraid of anything even time It'll eke away at everything but we'll be fine I'm folded in the bread you made You're cold until my body bathes You in the heat I kept aside All these days I'm not afraid of anything even time It'll eke away at everything but we'll be fine |

The yellowed page of the books and books I'd forgotten that I had These paperbacks they know their age they smell of weight and time that's resting warm The opened box beside the endless box parade that haunts my house Is fit to split with photographs that tell the wanderlust of years smashed on to years When all this actual life played out Where the hell on Earth was I? I rack my brains but it won't come Through water damaged bloodshot eyes The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies All seem to mingle into one I read your name under words in your elegant hand you probably don't mean now I fold the letter and think of a million and one things that I could have done different When all this actual life played out Where the hell on Earth was I? I rack my brains but it won't come Through water damaged bloodshot eyes The fleeting triumphs, brazen lies All seem to mingle into one One gigantic fairy tale Of friends I haven't seen in years Drinking 'til the daylight hurts |

Just close your eyes And count to five Let;s craft the only thing we know into surprise Set down your glass I painted this To look like you and me forever as we're now And I'm shaken then I'm still When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills Like to tell you all I want is now You sing and I'm killed I'm just not the same As I was a year ago and each minute since then My jumper tears As we take it off And you say you'll saw me good as new and I know you will And I'm shaken then I'm still When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills Like to tell you all I want is now And I'm shaken then I'm still When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills Like to tell you all I want is now |

The winters mar the Earth Its floor was frozen glass You slip into my arms And you quickly correct yourself Your freezing speech bubbles Seem to hold your words aloft I want the smoky clouds of laughter To swim about me forever more I will race you to the waterside And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud So they could hear it in America It's all for you The shells crack under our shoes Like punctuation points The planets bend between us A hundred million suns and stars The sea filled in this silence Before you sank those words And now even in the darkness I can see how happy you are I will race you to the waterside And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud So they could hear it in a America It's all for you It's all for you |

Only the faintest Only the faintest glance buries you, buries me So fire your engine See if I give a damn, we'll be dust instantly Caught in a jet stream Caught in a gorgeous howl all the world lost in noise Use me forever Use me for rocket fuel, I'll be air, I'll be fire You say you love me like the silence of the turning earth You say you love me like the endless roar of modern life You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears You say you love me like the past, the now, the coming years What will you remember? What will you think of me after I say goodbye? Returning in bodies Plants and the sand you'll squeeze in between shoeless feet I know I love you like the silvered gold of dying days I know I love you like an ancient history brought to life I know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin I know I love you like the million times I never said I know you love me like the silence of the turning earth I know you love me like the endless roar of modern life I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears I know you love me like the past, the now, the coming years |

A little after twelve The function suite was full Of people I had never seen before Ripped up ticket stubs Confettied on the floor It dawned on me I'd seen it all before Cool your beans my son You look a fucking mess No one's getting out of here tonight Hit that button there The one that just says wrong And we'll lose our minds to all our favorite songs Throw forward to later You look light on your feet When you whirled in the room I was nailed to my seat I'm like a prisoner Getting ready to talk I feel the blood in my hands And the threat in your walk And suddenly It lifts the roof off the place It puts a vault in my step And a grin on my face It can't contain me But you'll need an army To get me back in my box Or snap the branches off me A little after four The function suite is dead And I am just a ripped up ticket stub But here's a helping hand A voice that's far too close And I am up and on my broken limbs Throw forward to later You look light on your feet When you whirled in the room I was nailed to my seat I'm like a prisoner Getting ready to talk I feel the blood in my hands And the threat in your walk And suddenly It lifts the roof off the place It puts a vault in my step And a grin on my face It can't contain me But you'll need an army To get me back in my box Or snap the branches off me |

(I) What If This Storm Ends? What if this storm ends? And I don't see you As you are now Ever again The perfect halo Of gold hair and lightning Sets you off against The planet's last dance Just for a minute The silver forked sky Lit you up like a star That I will follow Now it's found us Like I have found you I don't want to run Just overwhelm me What if this storm ends? And leaves us nothing Except a memory A distant echo I want pinned down I want unsettled Rattle cage after cage Until my blood boils I want to see you As you are now Every single day That I am living Painted in flames All peeling thunder Be the lightning in me That strikes relentless What if this storm ends? And I don't see you As you are now Ever again The perfect halo Of gold hair and lightning Sets you off against The planet's last dance Just for a minute The silver forked sky Lit you up like a star That I will follow Now it's found us Like I have found you I don't want to run Just overwhelm me (II) The Sunlight Through The Flags From here the caravans are kids toys And I can hold them all in my palm I watch the sea creep round the corner It connects the dots from here to you The sunlight burning through the loose flags Painted high on white church walls I chase my blood from brain to thumped heart Until I'm out of breath for trying Worry not everything is sound This is the safest place you've found The only noise beating out is ours Lacing our tea from honey jars These accidents of faith and nature They tend to stick in the spokes of you But every now and then the trend bucks And you're repaired by more than glue Worry not everything is sound This is the safest place you've found The only noise beating out is ours Lacing our tea from honey jars Why don't you rest your fragile bones A minute ago you looked alone Stop waving your arms you're safe and dry Breathe in and drink up the winter sky (III) Daybreak Slowly the day breaks apart in our hands And soft hallelujahs flow in from the church The one on the corner you said frightened you It was too dark and too large to find your soul in Something was bound to go right sometime today All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing That we could see for miles and miles And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth When you held onto me like I was your little life raft Please know that you were mine as well Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears And spread out into shapes like Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood As motionless cars rust on driveways and curbs You take off your raincoat and stretch out your arms We both laugh out loud and surrender to it The sheer force of sky and the cold magnet Earth Something was bound to go right sometime today All these broken pieces fit together to make a perfect picture of us It got cold and then dark so suddenly and rained It rained so hard the two of us were the only thing That we could see for miles and miles And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth When you held onto me like I was your little life raft Please know that you were mine as well Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears And spread out into shapes like Salad bowls and basins and buckets for bailing out the flood |
