Pyres (Acoustic)
03:22
|

Look in my mind I’m feeling like a drug
That don’t hit me like it used to do
I’m burning like a coal thrown down in the ocean
Running out time when I look at you
I’m hanging by a thread just trying to remember
All the things you said that you needed to do
I’m breaking like a wave strung on out on the water
Holding on to anything that I can use to pull me through
I never really wanted you to know
It’s not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had
I never really wanted you to know
It’s not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had
I’m tired of the same emotion
It’s humming like a dead line on the wire
I’m drifting on a wave of cold delusion
It’s all that I can do on the funeral pyre
You could have been a wraith or maybe a brother
The city light burns as you walk on by
It’s burning like a cigarette out of the ashes
Hanging on a breeze
You see them break toward the sky
I never really wanted you to know
It’s not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had
I never really wanted you to know
It’s not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had
I’m hanging by a thread just trying to remember
All the things you said that you needed to do
I’m breaking like a wave strung on out on the water
Holding on to anything that I can use to pull me through
I never really wanted you to know
It’s not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had
I never really wanted you to know
It’s not like I was just another darkened door
Holding on to something that I never had

Waging A War (Acoustic)
04:14
|
|||
Look through the window of the car that you stole
Into the night yeah it felt right
You were just dancing on your own I don’t know why
You were just dancing on your own
You woke yourself up in an empty car park
Under a factory light yeah it felt right
You were just dancing on your own I don’t know why
You were just dancing on your own
If you’re waging a war
Just like when we were kids
You were down on the floor
But you were taller than you were before
This feels the same every time you come around
This feels the same
Is it a handful of dust or another broken jaw
In a life untold never to unfold
You were just dancing on your own I don’t know why
You were just dancing
If you’re waging a war
Just like when we were kids
You were down on the floor
But you were taller than you were before
This feels the same every time you come around
This feels the same

Plaything (Acoustic)
03:42
|
|||
Give me reason to believe what I’m hearing
Cause I gotta find another way to feel it
You don’t have to be so unkind now
You’re a passenger tied to your own crowd
Rising up from the ground like a pale king
Lifting up on a breeze like a birds wing
Are we just another one if your playthings
Hanging all our weight on a shoe string
I’ve walked this street before
One hundred times or more
Hell I don’t know what for
I’ve walked this street before
I’ve walked this street before
Now you see that I’m down and I’m using
Gotta try and find another way of choosing
Midnight came and it framed into vision
A broken image of a life refusing
So give me reason to believe what I’m hearing
Cause I gotta find another way to feel it
You don’t have to be so unkind now
You’re a passenger tied to your own crowd
I’ve walked this street before
One hundred times or more
Hell I don’t know what for
I’ve walked this street before
I’ve walked this street before
I’ve walked this street before
One hundred times or more
Hell I don’t know what for
I’ve walked this street before
I’ve walked this street before
One hundred times or more

Low (Acoustic)
03:15
|
|||
Yes I’ve seen nothing
Time to deliver
On that gold touch
You’ve been talking about
Now everything is over
Change ain’t come for you
Now you’re losing
And you’re out of luck
So I get low
But sometimes there’s a window
Yeah I get low
When it’s all we do
Yeah I get low
But sometimes there’s a window
Yeah I get low
When it’s all we do
And all I hear are voices
Dried from their whispers
Then a silence of the purest white
And there I see a darkness
A vanishing flatness
And portent of a deepening night
So I get low
But sometimes there’s a window
Yeah I get low
When it’s all we do
Yeah I get low
But sometimes there’s a window
Yeah I get low
When it’s all we do
So I get low
But sometimes there’s a window
Yeah I get low
When it’s all we do
Yeah I get low

I see a frozen moon hung above in the heart in June
All of the fruit is hanging low I see a silhouette of crows
High in the tower above the sun away from all the damage done
The pillars shone with golden light bathed in the history of your might
Is it all forgotte
In the tower above the sun
Is it all forgotten
In the tower above the sun
In the tower above the sun
In the tower above… the sun
Could it be afforded you the hollow man his way back through
Or is it just the horizon an endless place you’re travel to
High in the tower above the sun away from all the damage done
The pillars shone with golden light bathed in the history of your might
Is it all forgotten
In the tower above the sun
Is it all forgotten
In the tower above the sun
In the tower above the sun
In the tower above… the sun
I see a frozen moon hung above in the heart in June
All of the fruit is hanging low yet I see a silhouette of crows

Begin Again (Acoustic)
03:50
|
|||
Although I have tried to begin again
Always in the dark oh the dark, the dark
Wait there painted face why do you run from me
Why do you leave it so just to slip away
Shadow in the room why do you reach for me
Why should I forget just to bury you
I find you in the dark oh the dark the dark
Although I have tried to begin again
Sometimes I see him
Just a shadow
On the horizon
On the
Although I have tried to begin again
Racing through the past like a hurricane
Following the stars through the dark the dark
Wait there painted face why do you run from me?
Sometimes I see him
Just a shadow
On the horizon
On the

High Fire (Acoustic)
04:13
|
|||
I’m burning my clothes in the place that I saw you fall down
I can tell you you’re right when it’s wrong and we just can’t change it
I look to the place of our last embrace of the morning
Maybe I’ll fail all the things that I wanted to believe in
It was defined by a momentary lapse of emotion
A smothering sight in that high fire light of the evening
Remember we tried to forgive but there was nothing to discover
Well maybe there’s a darkness following you behind
There is a silence
That I commandeer
There is a space
A space when you disappear
There is a distance
An a thin veneer
There is a space
A space that I commandeer
But I’m still looking for you I keep crawling back through to the other side
I thought that I saw you yesterday but my eyes lied
You shone a light in the dark but it felt like warning
So I look to the place of our last embrace of the morning
There is a silence
That I commandeer
There is a space
A space when you disappear
There is a distance
An a thin veneer
There is a space
A space that I commandeer

I’m calling long distance
Can you meet for me coffee
Maybe some place new
If we ever get lost
Away from reality
Away to a different view
But I need a window
Straight into the night
Long after daylight has left the fight
When my eyes turn to black
And the city lights crack
There’s no way of going back
So go now with blood on your lips
Looking for a different answer
Eyes wide fall through the eclipse
Toward the morning dancer
Your voice on the phone
A path to eternity
Flooding the corridor
We turn on the light
When they wake in the night
Their little voices sore
I can see it
I can feel it
I could lose myself in this
This glow brings a haze
Of a misty parade
And a memory always
So go now with blood on your lips
Looking for a different answer
Eyes wide fall through the eclipse
Toward the morning dancer
I’m calling long distance
Can you meet for me coffee
Maybe some place new
If we ever get lost
Away from reality
Away to a different view
Your voice on the phone
A path to eternity
Flooding the corridor
We turn on the light
When they wake in the night
Their little voices sore
So go now with blood on your lips
Looking for a different answer
Eyes wide fall through the eclipse
Toward the morning dancer

Halo (Acoustic)
03:37
|
|||
Tell me I’m wrong
I’ll give you all of the years that have gone
Give you all of the years that have gone
And I will come back to you
We live in the sight
Of a vast undiscovered night
Of a vast undiscovered night
That’s calling to you
I can’t change
I can’t call it what it is
If it is what it is
I don’t know
Is it just a halo
I thought it was at first
Tell me I’m right
It is a flame of unfiltered light
It is a flame of unfiltered light
That burns through you
So give me the night
There I can make it right
You see cause there I can make it right
And I will come back to you
I can’t change
I can’t call it what it is
If it is what it is
I don’t know
Is it just a halo
I thought it was at first

White Bird (Acoustic)
03:25
|
|||
White bird in the morning on the edge of the sun
Cold is the evening when the daylight is done
I know that it’s hard to face it
I know that it’s not the same
Wild fire in the morning with a ghost by my side
Wings made of ash now so strange to confide
I know that it’s hard to face it
I know that it’s not the same
Is there something that I missed
Beneath the viaduct
While the humming birds gathered
Gathered in the dusk
Is there something that I missed
Beneath the viaduct
Am I hanging on a thread
Strange glow into midnight as the fires dissipate
Maybe you were right the fire will create
I know that it’s hard to face it
I know that it’s not the same
Is there something that I missed
Beneath the viaduct
While the humming birds gathered
Gathered in the dusk
Is there something that I missed
Beneath the viaduct
Am I hanging on a thread
Just to buy me luck
