Eat the Spurs

steel and skin like relatives
cease to hurt, eat the spurs
what a lovely mess it is
these confessionals, are a crutch
selfishly, help me sleep
pick at the wounds and drink the blood
could you show me any?
could you show me any?
could you show me any love?
eat the spurs
stir the words
teach me, how to speak
dancing grace, through my teeth
take my coat, it's freezing
hurry , hurry
oh my god, won't you take us away from here
i don't even know which way we're falling
anymore
great grey sky, swallow my blight
cease the rot, cut my knots
lend me some of your certainty
big blue sea, drown out my fleas
wash my hair, and sweeten my stare
lend me your charm now, would you please?

what a pity you came back home empty handed
but i can't feel you when you're near oh baby
i will try and break you down, always
don't be shy girl, cause i hate me as much as you do
i won't pretend that
i can stay
you're so pretty girl
and your touch is poison
but i can't feel you when you're near

i was tired
when i lost faith
expectations were the bars to our cage
let's take a trip
no matter where
and if i die
at least i tried
i was young
when i lost hope
in the machine all the gears crushed my bones
chew it up
spit it out
fear is heavy
im sinking down
the city's on fire
im burning up
i choke for air
but cough up blood
all i own soon ignites
summer smoke
midnight flight

Just Tonight
04:30
|

across the room
you let your hair down
you say my name
but i've forgot it
the room is on fire
but i will burn
and just tonight
ill be what you want
just tonight
you'll give me what i need
i leave behind all i feel
understand that
everyday im lonely
i'm harbouring
every word you've said
under your breath

Zoe

she comes from a broken home
the city is so cold
she's leaving home
she's leaving home
the first hit was just a joke
she's always with friends, but still alone
she's leaving home
she's leaving home

Sunset Bound
03:40
|

i went out west one day
no reason to go
just couldnt stay
Im sunset bound baby
dont let it bring you down
grab your cigarettes
lets forget the rest
come and take my hand
and i'll be your man
we could walk all night
i know its just
a matter of time
until we forget
and feel alright
its so far now
and i cant wait
that night you caught my eye
bought me a drink
i fell in love
im so weird baby
let me freak you out
grab your cigarettes
let's forget the rest
come on and take my hand
and i'll be your man
we could walk all night
my heart is stupid
its stupid for you

Patience
05:05
|
|||
the thunder of the trains
the iron in the taste
the sunbaked hair on your face
the ghosts of where you once laid
the flush on your cheeks
leads me to believe
that you will be mine someday
but
i can't smell the waters that colour the spring
i don't feel the patience that held me in place
the blisters; salty and white
the patterns bloom in your eyes
the early birds take flight
the love is weak; let it die
the black in the sea
brings me to my knees
this boy is so weak inside, let him die
let him die
and
i can't find the daymoon that leads on the dark
i don't feel the patience that steadied my heart
i can't smell the waters that colour the spring
i don't feel the patience that held me in place

Ember
03:18
|
|||
i won't fake it
i need a
god to give life
to the lies i've told
and i felt it
when the sparks fled
down the wind and
into my throat
oh, hold the ember tight
don't let it die
oh hold it close
don't let it go
i found them
in the mouth of a dying lion
the only words
he spoke, i followed
the fire grows
break my cage
my body of coal
my mind awake
hold it close
don't let it go

Silent Prayer
03:59
|
|||
sometimes i see you falling
i'm losing ground but crawling
how could i know, how could i know
my mind races, my heart beats slow
i feel your hair, i touch your skin
my favourite lie, the one you tell
is we'll be together, in the end
i come undone, i come undone
it's a silent prayer
across the ocean, far away
maybe a new life, maybe i'll stay
i'm wasting time, i'm wasting time
in love with a ghost, it don't feel right
i couldnt find you inside
we never could get behind it
i never could understand
all in the end, in the end
it’s a silent prayer

you know you're lovely darling
i dont need to spell it out for you
you know that i need to take you home
straight from this bitter cold
cause i know
cause i know
tell me anything
i won't say you're wrong
i hold you in the night
it will be hard when youre gone
cause i know
cause i know
cover me deep
under the dirt and snow
will you bury me there
before you go
cause i know
it can't be too late
