There was a pause in the conversation I just wanted to tell you everything But the words I spoke were not what I said And what you heard was only Meaningless bullshit And we are caught in the spaces between
2.
You fill me up and calm me down Just know I don't make a lick of sense when you're not here And these walls are just where I am when you're not here Rewind and see that now looks just like just before When I apologised as I walked into the furniture In a suit and tie, finally my clothes are fitting right And I'm shaking like a fledgling bird who's ready to take flight I don't mind when the stitches start to show From where you came in a patched up my holes Rewind, now is nothing like it was before When I apologised as I walked into the furniture As I walked into the furniture Because you fill me up and calm me down
3.
I left the party early Yeah the crowds just make me lonely I needed a walk anyway It was time to go anyway And I wandered though the suburbs Past my old house where we met And I was young then, yeah you haven't changed But I'm glad I have I came to your house and sat in the garden For an hour Before I passed out on your doorstep It was better than going home anyway I woke with the sun You welcomed me in Glad to see me After all this time
4.
I can't redefine the world we live in But I can try and make it safe So we can build a house – a little house we can grow old in And spend your days hiding amongst the trees We'll wake to golden songs of morning birds That call out to a virgin day We'll sing... As we hide amongst the trees I can't redefine But we can hide We can hide
5.
I don't believe in monsters It's what hides underneath that scares me No, I don't believe in monsters Just what comes out of those who have lost themselves Are you a slave or a servant? We've all chosen our merciless captors Are you enslaved or just serving? Don't let yourself be trapped because The little red spiders creep closer to where we sleep And we are just flies at a window There's an opening somewhere we just can't find it We are just flies at a window And we're desperately longing to get to you As the little red spiders creep closer to where we sleep We can't hide because they crawl through cracks narrow and deep Hear them scurry as under the door they seep How those little red spiders creep Oh little red... spiders
6.
I heard that I said your name in the shallow end of a dream Everything else a blither, a beautiful somniloquy Passing in again to see myself passing out again Warm and safe, warm and safe I see your beautiful sleeping face Good morning my morning lullaby Keep the world at bay, I'm not ready for today I took a pearl from the bowl and nothing could hurt me there Nothing could hurt us there as we pass in and out again Good morning my morning lullaby Keep the world at bay, I'm not ready for today Warm and safe, a world away beneath the covers Warm and safe, and we will dream about each other
7.
You came in a dream and you stayed long after the dawn Lying in flowers we made from paper ripped and torn Carried on the coolest breeze are stories untold For today at least; someday they'll grow old You came in a dream and you stayed; the darkness left the dawn Wearing the clothes that we made now faded ripped and torn Floating on the coolest breeze are stories untold Someday they'll grow old, but not today Shaking, oh the sweetest sound; finally released Oh to find yourself and hear your heatbeat
8.
The words you twist and the throws you curve Your cutthroat wit and your iron nerve Your perfect mask is bulletproof But someday soon you'll come loose Soon you'll be a ghost Nothing but a shadow Nothing but an echo The invisible masters whom your serve With your cutthroat wit and your iron nerve Will always take you for the fool you are Saying "Someday soon you'll, "You'll build your towers, and you'll build them so high So high that you will block out the sun." But nothing will grow and you will never See the beauty of moonlight again Soon you'll Be a ghost Caught in gaps Between the atoms Between the atoms Like and echo trapped in a jar
9.
Inside it's raining from the ceiling Running all the colours in my books Ink bleeds puddles in the carpet All I can do is sit and listen To the coward and the sage converse in whispers Drawing lines and consolidating what's left of me Inside things are getting deeper White walls turning every colour Wet hair plastered to my forehead Books float and drift around my elbows Outside the sun is shining brightly As my socks melt in my shoes How come I keep on going over? Oh no! I am going under The coward and the sage converse in whispers They're drawing lines and consolidating what's left of me Of me... What does it say to draw those lines so quickly? And what gets left to him who lets the victor? What does it say to draw those lines so quickly? And what becomes of him who lets the victor? And who am I to say that it's surrendered? The coward and the sage converse

When We Wake 04:37
In the beginning, we were simpler then She would ride an old bike in her favourite red dress And I would wipe dew from her eyes shining in the first light As the dawn would shatter into a thousand pieces Watch the clocks, the numbers start repeating Oh, to go back and rest But as the years grew older the skies grew dark again And the howling dogs did sound like people that we once knew The days grew shorter until time ran like a river With all we'd loved being swept away; all but her and I Watch the clocks, the numbers start repeating Oh, to go back and rest and not be tired anymore When we wake... Watch the clocks, the numbers start repeating
11.
Lost Signals 05:46
When the rain feels like static on your face And you could just dissolve Like lost signals I'll be there with my kit transistor Tuning in to you Listening in intent I'm tuning in to you Listening in intent
12.
In the murmurs between my words You should know that I'm trying to tell you The right words just aren't there They are caught in the spaces between We are caught in the spaces between
