LYRICS

Faes Phalanx

Matters of mind have got me thinking till the hours of late everyday

How such a violent state of silence brings us down to earth his or hers?

Up in my citadel I sit and drink myself to health, back from hell

Turnin’ inside out of her shell she doesn’t talk the same, only blames

She kicked me off my element - did she see straight through your heart

Did it get that way, get that way again

Did it get that way, get that way again?

Hold, just hold on

No, no I’m done

Go, go, gotta go

Hold, hold, hold, hold

No, no, no, no

Go, go, go, go, gotta go

All these dice roll in time

High above the hive we all collide

All these bright eyes look tired

We’ll be flyin’ in the sky, we’ll all combine, combine

Lines

I tried sleeping through another sleepless night

Black cloud building right between my very eyes

Pathways to nowhere lead you with a smile

Straight back to the rising tide

I don’t remember how or why

I only know we tried 

Oh the inner enemy

Who keeps me at night when I could use a friend in me

Who? The one I need to be

Who I keep losing I could really use your company

Things we do to stay afloat although the rivers dry

Already sinking you can feel the crack in you and I

I took too long to realise

That you already took your ferry to the other side

Oh the inner enemy

Who keeps me at night when I could use a friend in me 

Who? the one I need to be

Who I keep losing I could really use your company

Oh the inner enemy

Who keeps me at night when I could use a friend in me

Blue the colour smoke we breathe

Well I keep using and I’m losing all my energy

Andromeda

Sifting through the ashes of years we knew

Kamikaze helpline is what we choose

Seems the only lifeline was made for you

We’re a setting sun

Death Decay and chapels are coming through

Chemical imbalance, you pay-per-view

Hold your gaze, and wade into the fire

Burn yourself brighter 

Shut the door and make it stick

Took so long but we found it

I found light in your energy, as I live and breathe

I found life in your melody

Silence ain’t empty

Was it a change of heart, that left you broken

Or the hardest parts that go unspoken

Was it the highest high to soothe the mind

that left you unwoven

I’ve seen your eyes, they’re always open

Polygons changing shape to fill the hole in

Hold your gaze, and fade into the higher powers that guide ya

Shut the door and make it stick

Took so long but we found it

I found light in your energy, as I live and breathe

I found life in your melody 

Silence ain’t empty

The silence ain’t empty when you call(

Silence ain’t empty

As I turn my head, there you are, in the wind, I’ll always love you so

As I turn my head, there you are, in the wind, I’ll always love you so

As I turn my head, there you are, in the wind, I’ll always love you so

As I turn my head, there you are, in the wind, I’ll always love you so

Isness

Ya tripping on a backbeat vision

Makin ends meet, this is living

Choking on fire, waking up tired

Living underneath our limit

Too fickle to commit to decision

Just pour another cup and you’ll get it

Keep on sipping your cognac, gonna toss it all back, Slippin’ through the rear view mirror

Stuck in a synaptic prison

Never found out, where is it?

Oh well look at your fever, is it amnesia?

Come to make a new incision

Forget the controls and fire away

Had seventeen lives, eleventeen times you believe it

This isness is creeping away

Through indecision today

Isn’t it time, isn’t it time

Isn’t it fine, we’re still flickering

You said you’re a believer

Is your heart warm, what do you feed it?

Are you fakin a deviner, no-one could deny you were colder when you sold your spirit

Goin on loan for a minute

To day two hundred infinite

Now ya losing your laughter, oh well it was always on tap

Do tell what’s given?

This isness is creeping away

Through indecision today

Isn’t it time, isn’t it time

Isn’t it fine, isn’t this fine

This isness is creeping away

Through indecision today

Isn’t it time, isn’t it time

Isn’t this fine, we’re still flickering

Isn’t it fine, we’re still flickering

Isn’t it nice, to be here glistening

Something Dry

Thinking up something quick

Hope it gets you through an awkward situation

Ya sinking down slowly, and you might get picked off

By the shark with the fake blonde wig

Or the pig in your eye

Ya bleeding out something dry

Ya feeding all the wrong things

Oh but how the wrong sings to your mind

Beauty in the eye of the beholder

Seems to hang us out to dry as we get older and older

And so as we become our own attackers

Speak now underneath your breath the mantra

My stature is rapture, I’m my own commander

Ya bleeding out something dry

Ya feeding all the wrong things

Oh but how the wrong sings in your mind

Yeah, ya, ya seeing now, seeing now, something like

A reason to belong here in this empty town

Passion Pond

Rough landing, tough folk here, but I found it all too sad

Eyes blinded, still hoping, then I drove myself mad

Some punter just loved her more than I ever had

Now I’m reeling, still feeling the things that never panned out

My patience is wearing thinner than a paper cut

Can’t stand it, won’t bear it, so I pulled my anchor up

This season has fallen into the passion pond

I think I’m gonna take a holiday to vietnam

Keep on finding signs

I drive by the signs

I’m gonna take you to the sun, we’ll fly higher

Yeah you’re a trillion megatons of desire

So let me take you to the sun, my igniter

I’m gonna you to the sun, to the sun

Good feelings, good riddance, I paid my patience toll

Am I trippin, your flipping has got me against the wall

This hunger still thunder underneath the passion pond

The ceiling has fallen, gonna put my fix on hold

Keep on finding signs

I drive by the signs

I’m gonna take you to the sun, we’ll fly higher

Yeah you’re a trillion megatons of desire

So let me take you to the sun, my igniter

I’m gonna you to the sun, to the sun

I’m gonna take you to the sun

I’m gonna take you to the sun, you’re my fire

Well let me take you to the sun, my igniter

Well let me take you to the sun, to the sun, you’ll be one

Uh oh, you fell in, uh oh, you fell in

Did you get in? Oh no, did you get in?

Safe to Say

I think it’s safe to say we’ve been through this ten times before

What do we have to pay, to make it through all this unbroken

Well was I meant to wait, till we lose it, confuse it, this love lost and abused?

I think it’s safe to say, we blew it up when it went cold 

Used it up and let go, oh no no no

This sad parade you created, so see through I see you in two

Let’s separate, facts and fiction to get traction in view

What do we have to say to be honest, could be the truth

I think it’s safe to say we used it up and let go

Used it up and let go, oh no no no

I let go, oh no no 

Screwed up when I let you go

(Use it up)

Oh no no no

(Use it up)  

Screwed it up when I let 

(Use it up)

Oh no no no

(Screwed it up)

And let go,

Use it up, I touched the sky high seam

Use it up, I tore the fabric dream

Use It up, I found a serpent queen

Alright, use it up, use it up

But I don’t wanna let up

And I don’t wanna resign

Just want a little bitta

Peace over my mind

Just to live a little

Fleeting by design 

Still breathing in the middle middle

Oh well I wanna live my best life, best life

You only ever seem to miss mine, kiss cry

Oh yeah I wanna live with less lies, less lies

Never know if you’re gonna left right, my mind

Well I just want a little respite despite

Feel like an overwritten disc drive, Big Bite

I wanna get up off a this ride, this ride

Cause I won't slip into a noose-tie, your eyes (eyes eyes)

Jaguar

It comes and goes, the feeling it flows

Divine intervention, what a bloody load

We’re high when we’re low, it’s the sunlight on your soul

Breathe in while you can, before the goodness goes

I just don’t wanna know, the odyssey’s design

Because I just don’t really care, if I’m a common fly

I just don’t wanna know

If I’ll still be sitting by the sideline come June

Because I just don’t really care

Cause I’ll still be sitting on my own, on my own, on my own

Take time to ponder, wander the golden mile

Tomorrow lives longer, if only for a while

Wake up the jaguar, running through your mind

Inside you the answer, It never left your side

Just say you’re fine and you’ll be right, open in denial

Solitude don’t keep me waiting, take me back to life

I just don’t wanna knowIf I’ll still be sitting by the sideline come June

Because I just don’t really care

Cause I’ll still be sitting on my own, on my own, on my own

Feeding our corpses, carried through time

Velveteen ocean, moving in mine

Conqueror meet me, pull me to the sky

Silhouette sailing, take me from my eyes

Drownword

Fire send me up into the hold

Gonna see through mother makers mould

Higher than the supernatural

Shiner melt me back into the fold  

Let’s wander down the road

Back to my old home

Time has come to go

Time has come to go

Pyre empty, old but not dissolved  

Daylight comedown, where the seam is sewn

Happiness unfolds

Happiness unfolds

It’s all we came for

All we came for

Do you feel at home

Do you feel as one 

Powers that be set the course anew

Wonder if they’ll be unkind to you 

Coming back to life

Do you realise 

Do you realise 

Played out painless, has it come and gone?

What you wished for, to return reborn

Silence echoes by 

Violence echoes time

Live and let die 

Do you feel at home

Do you feel as one

Do you feel, Do you feel

Do you feel, Do you feel
