Hope Is The Last To Die

I miss the city today
Empty nights that were led astray
Nostalgia shows a drinks list long
Where distant faces seem far gone
My candid evenings set to rights
The next day even shone so bright
So nothing ever hatched a gasp
And footsteps sprang their simple path
Work fast and playing hard
The fringes never seeming charred
I often miss these vintage ways
Moreven when it's clear today
Our lives are weaving twisted threads
Wishing we could just glimpse ahead
So we see ourselves looking back
Knowing we can still change our track
Don't let the wet hands steal my days
Don't let the hours slip away
I really need this shifting time
So let me pour you a glass of wine
Don't make me dance a merry tune
And don't make me talk quite so soon
Stopping the clock eclipse the sun
Freezing out some time just for fun
Don't let me waste a lonely tick
Don't let me miss a single trick
Tie every hour up with string
Filling my pockets to the brim
I'll bask in every moment spent
I'll swim in all the seconds lent
But what with all this time to do
If I can't spend my thoughts on you

Divide
03:46

Searching out for the many ways to get us around
In a place where meanings are profound
Just another test; a challenge that we’re giving ourselves
Wouldn’t work out with somebody else
But I can’t decide, decide
Even if you know that
I won’t divide, divide
Honey, you don’t know if
I can decide, decide
Maybe you don’t know that
Our secret is to keep us still alive
See the reason our bodies keep on standing upright
And envision it ’til the ‘other side’
It’s a journey advancing fast towards the unknown
Like a mirror where you’re not alone
But I can’t decide, decide
Even if you know that
I can’t divide, divide
Honey, you won’t know if
I will decide, decide
Baby, you won’t know that
Our secret is to keep us still alive
Alive
So I won’t decide nor divide
‘Cause I can’t divide nor decide
No, I can’t decide, decide
And I won’t divide, divide
Baby, you won’t know the reason why
Baby, you won’t know the reason why

Won't Be Unknown

Don’t you wish that you were never alone?
So what d’you wanna, wanna, wanna do?
Don’t you wish that you were never alone?
Don’t you wish that you were never alone?
What d’you wanna, wanna, wanna do?
On a mission digging every bone
Or treasure hunting in a tropical zone?
Nature’s throne.
Don’t need your point of view;
I just want a, want a, want a, want a cue.
Like if you only knew
What I want to, want to, want to, want to do.
Are these wishes just a path to be shown?
Life’s a journey, better make it our own.
I’m warning, warning, warning, warning you.
Underneath the moon we dance and we roam
So the bitches that sufficiently grow
Won’t be unknown.
Won’t mind your poor review;
I just want a, want a, want a, want a clue.
We gotta think it through,…
Parlez, parlez, parlez, parlez-vous?
Can’t have’em shine like new
If they party, party, party, party too.
’Til I’m blue.

Bridge Over Tonic Water

Oh, the madness, no
Often it surrounds me, no
Where shadows entwine is where I reside,
Where dreams will go astray,
Please take me away as daylight fades away.
If there’s too much pride pain is amplified, oh no, ah
Find an empty hole in a weary soul, oh no, ah
But never really want it
Never really want it
To be looking at the sadness, no
And how often it surrounds me, now
Every lover I've known, it fades into gray,
Leaving me here, adrift in disarray, with nothing to say
If there’s too much pride pain is amplified, oh no, ah
Find the empty hole in a weary soul, oh no, ah
Never really want it
Oh, the sadness it surrounds me, like a ghost I remain.
Never really want it
In the world's cruel embrace, I am trapped in the rain.
Never really want it
Oh, the sadness it surrounds me, like a ghost I remain.
Oh, the sadness it surrounds me, like a ghost I remain.
In the world's cruel embrace, I am trapped in the rain.
Oh, the sadness it surrounds me, like a ghost I remain.
I am locked in a cave about to go insane.
Oh, the sadness it surrounds me, like a ghost I remain.
In the world's cruel embrace, I am trapped in the rain.
Oh, the sadness it surrounds me, like a ghost I remain.
I am locked in a cave about to go insane.

I'll write a list
Of all the things that we will never do
I'll sweep away
The remnants of a future meant for two
Patching the scenes
Together just like any other spell
I'm trampled in
The layers of the stories that I’ll tell
I want to tell you I believe we’re through
Those words were meant for no-one else but you
I won't chase out the secrets just in case
The stars cascade from where we stood today
Tobacco trails
And sultry heat will spin until we fall
In the meantime
We try to wrestle words until I scrawl
Losing the smooth
Cadence of the song I heard before
Cannot reveal
The hunger comes and grips me all the more
I want to tell you I believe we’re through
Those words were meant for no-one else but you
I won't chase out the secrets just in case
The stars cascade from where we stood today, today, today,...
I want to tell you I believe we’re through
I don’t fear the conclusions that you drew
I won't chase out the secrets just in case
The stars cascade from where we stood that day

Feast

Had my back against the wall
You came with 'Mister Know It All'
Feeling jealous in the hall
I never ended my withdrawal
Many of the things we said
Got us jumping back in bed
So again t'was you and me
Winds were blowing wild and free
Heard the marching band begin
For the feast that we dug in
Until something that we'd done
Made him reach out for his gun
Have no time to bring it on
We'll be running until dawn
But the winner takes it all
But the winner takes it all
With stars and stripes
Amazing football and parties
Indian pale ales
Movies and shoegaze

And as I step towards
The frosted mirror bright
Reflects a promised world
It’s partially out of sight
Then silence falls between
We’re social anyway
Then silence falls between
We’re social anyway
Then silence falls between
We’re social anywhere
And then that look is thrown
That look that fractures me
With eyes that seem to plead
Behind the furtive veil
And then you turn your face
So vulnerable and pale
Then silence falls between
We’re social anyway
Then silence falls between
We’re social anyway
Then silence falls between
We’re social anyway
Then silence falls between
We’re social anywhere
I breathe against the fear
Of turning on my heel
And when our time is up
I'll lose my turn to deal
And so I try again
To hold on to our plight
In dissipating light
Then silence falls between
The world contained within
And as that silence plays
Our words begin to sing
I’m soaking up the view
Wishing that I'm always
Hanging here with you

I wasn’t afraid
Wasn’t petrified
It didn’t even cross my mind I’d become fossilized
Everyone’s asleep
Some on their promises
You should keep looking fer answers while they lay in bed
Hold on
Timing never really mattered to me
When you feel like doing something do it now
Oh Lord
You can live and love a life that’s busy
Never care about a brand new mystery now
When everything we work on turns out fine
To not see the results would make you blind
Check all the stars above us
With the planets that align
Hold on
Oh Lord
You can make it go up faster maybe
Hanging on a hope that’s pretty dreamy now
I wasn’t delayed
Wasn’t classified
It just didn’t cross my mind that you’d be by my side
They are still asleep
Especially on Sundays
So I keep looking for answers while they’re playing dead
Hold on
Timing doesn’t really matter you see
If you feel like doing something do it now
Oh my God
You can live and love a life that’s busy
Never care about the brand new mystery now
Oh Lord, hold on

Ah, fight the world, break a mountain.
Ah, start a war, release the gore.
Ah, write a song, say no more.
Ah, find the girl, fall in love.
But I, don’t want to let down, I don’t wanna let down.
But, ah, the sun is gone, have no words.
Ah, fight the world, say no more.
Ah, start a war, reach the corps.
But ah, the sun is gone, have no words.
But I, I don’t want a let down, I don’t wanna let down.
Someone strange is here tonight.
But I, don’t want to let down, I don’t wanna let down.
I don’t want a let down, don’t wanna let down.
Someone strange is here tonight.
Someone strange is here tonight.
Someone strange is here tonight.
