I'll be better tomorrow
We'll start in the morning
And we'll wait for the light of the morning to come
And we won't take a drop
We'll make better choices
And we'll wait for the light of the morning to come
We may not see the end of the promises made
Draining the bottle, drowning our faith
And I
Won't belong
And I
Will be back soon
Will be back soon
The sun now it rests
Far away from our back
And we sit and we scribble 'till the shadows relax
Hidden in cloud
Just like our ambition
Pick apart indecision 'till it comes back
We may not see the end of the promises made
Draining the bottle, drowning our faith
And I
Won't belong
And I
Won't belong
And I
Will be back soon
Will be back soon
Oh the sun now it rests
Far away from our backs
So we sit and we scribble 'till it comes back
Hidden in cloud
Just like our ambition
Pick apart indecision 'till it comes back
We may not see the end of the promises made
Draining the bottle, drowning our faith
And I
Won't belong
And I
Won't belong
And I
Will be back soon
Will be back soon

I would rather

I would rather see her smiling face than the sunrise
In the morning
'Cos when she miles I don't know where I am
I would rather spend a hundred years on an island
With just her
And we'd build shelter in the trees
When she awakes
That's when my day begins
When she is hurting
I feel it closing in
Two beating hearts
Separated by the skin
Two beating hearts
In perfect time
I would rather see the moon implode into nothing
Overnight
Than never see it in her eyes
I would rather die today and take all these memories
Of just her
Than live a life time without her
When she awakes
That's when my day begins
When she is hurting
I feel it closing in
Two beating hearts
Separated by the skin
Two beating hearts
In perfect time
I would rather see her smiling face than the sunrise
In the morning
'Cos when she miles I don't know where I am
I would rather soak up all her pain into myself
So she smiles
And her smile will bring me back
When she awakes
That's when my day begins
When she is hurting
I feel it closing in
Two beating hearts
Separated by the skin
Two beating hearts
In perfect time

Storm

Your heads a storm
That won't let up
And the breeze just seems
To go further now
Than it ever did
You drank the wine
You drank it down
And you feel it's real
It's almost gone
To the last drop
Past the dark into the light
Venture on into the night
Letting go of what was right
As the storm brings you new life
What you tell yourself this time
The wind blows
Through your chest
And you fight & write
To numb yourself
To the last hour
The clock ticks
It's getting loud
In your mind you find
Familiar thoughts
Through a crooked lens
Past the dark into the light
Venture on into the night
Letting go of what was right
As the storm brings you new life
What you tell yourself this time
The wind will pass
With you still here
As you walk & talk
Along that road
And where it goes
The rain will pass
With me still here
As I smoke & choke
A chilling fear
With my words
Past the dark into the light
Venture on into the night
Letting go of what was right
As the storm brings you new life
What you tell yourself this time

Walking the straw dog

When you thought you knew yourself
When you got it figured out
When you thought you knew your place
And a question tears it down
Tear it down, tear it down
And start again
And a label don't help
And a label don't work
But it makes a little sense
And it's better than before
You're not alone, there's nothing wrong
You're not alone
Look across the room from behind your mask
As the drinks go down for the final act
You show yourself
But just one side
If no one knows
Then we'll survive
Hold on
Hold on
Looking back across the years
You start to figure out
There's a pattern in the madness
There was method in your doubt
You see the colour
Of the lens
You viewed the world
When you found the right words
But you didn't even look
When you petted straw dogs
And the ego that it took
You robbed yourself
Of the dignity
Of your words
Look across the room from behind your mask
As the drinks go down for the final act
You show yourself
But just one side
If no one knows
Then we'll survive
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
