In The Deep Shade 
Instrumental

Lay Me Down 
I will write you letters that
explain the way I'm thinking now 
I will return to you 
what I have taken long before 
I will return again 
when it gets dark and day is done 
and lay me down 
in the hollowed ground 
down by your side I will stay 
so lay me down 
and if you wanna stay with me 
then let me know before its light 
I will recoil myself 
into the black and darkest night 
and lay me down 
in the hollowed ground 
where my father waits I will stay 
so lay me down 
and lay me down 
in the hollowed ground 
down by your side I will stay 
so lay me down

What Happens When The Heart Just Stops 
so what happens when the heart just stops 
stops caring for anyone 
the hollow in your chest dries up 
and you stop believing 
so what happens when the heart gives up 
but the body goes on living 
the blood crawls to a slow and stops 
and flows away 
well we got no one to meet 
no love we would beseech 
we only have ourselves to blame 
for everything 
there was no answer in the dust 
now I'm missing you so much 
and now you're sleeping 
and I'm leaving 
empty handed waiting 
and time it will subside and we'll agree 
it was a given 
there was no standard we could set 
and the world it does regret to have to 
leave you in this state of bereavement 
see I'm feeling everything 
nothing gets by 
there is a hollow in my chest 
a time I won't forget 
there is no comfort in the eyes 
that out us always to the test 
I can't prepare myself for that 
but I'll work it out in time 
there is a love that flows between us 
ever changing everyday 
I worked myself up to a crawl 
but I'm not fearing it at all 
we have no reason left to stay 
and that's why we're leaving 
there was no answer in the dust 
and no one out there to trust 
there is a lie that drags us beating 
and pulling into disappointment 
disappointment 
disappointment 
disappointment 
so you're gone

HeadLong 
well I never want to land 
cause I'm high on you 
beyond all slight of hand 
tell me if you're sure 
and I won't pretend 
to fall down anymore 
cause you're all I really want 
headlong 
I'm falling in a headlong 
and act a little brave 
and the lies that try to trip you 
your nat a slave 
and tell me if you're sure 
and the precious precious waiting 
I endure 
cause you're all I'll ever want 
headlong 
I'm falling in a headlong 
headlong 
I'm falling in a headlong 
headlong...

Fighting On The Stairs 
living in the old house 
we're fighting on the stairs 
staring out the windows 
breeze blowing through the years 
if I don't get out of this town 
something's gonna break 
cause I gotta find my own way now 
through this thick malaise 
well I don't know where else I can turn now 
makes me often wonder when are we gonna learn 
you're wearing too much make-up 
going to the dance 
and you're looking over my way now 
but some people out there take a chance 
but your glow in this light is so becoming now 
if I don't get out of this town 
something's gonna break 
and I want to find my high soon 
and rummage through the age 
sometimes it feels like we don't stand a chance 
when you go 
we go with something pure in our hearts

Giving Me Wings 
your a fool man you threw it away
you killer with your confidence
in the old days
the cause you embraced
the simple things that people over complicate
speaking in lines, known to yourself
speaking at length, on all those days
will you come with me
and we'll be ourselves, 
and we'll walk into the light
and you can colour yourself, in golden wings
your never yourself,
not even with me
will you come with me
and we'll ask the dust,
it's on my way
it's all my concentration can hold
but you alienate me,
and throw it down, and rip it off,
when nothing's feeling right,
and i'll show you how,
you can sellotape it on..
and your giving me wings,
so i don't have to jump
and your giving me will,
so i can carry on..
dissimulate and celebrate this,
time we had alone

Early Bird 
the early bird he slips away 
and he lives to fly another day 
he only serves to point the way 
that you should or should not return 
two simple birds that never stray 
when the lights go out on us 
just before when we were found
will not rush it 
will enjoy it 
will not touch it 
will rejoice it 
the early bird he knows his place 
and he'll stay all day there if he has to 
he never hides or runs away 
when the voices crowd on his 
cry so loud you will die 
will not rush it 
will enjoy it 
will not touch it 
will rejoice it 
where did this come from 
how long has this been going on 
where is it from 
I feel my wheels are turning 
I see the sky falling on every face 
telling us now we ought to stay 
I feel my wheels are turning 
I see the open road before we stretch 
leading us somewhere past the hour

Friends And Foe 
turning with the listless 
staying close behind 
the arms that once held you 
have receeded over time 
and the little love I had 
for all my friends and foe 
and the little lines we've drawn between us all have 
taken hold 
in the early morning walking 
and the pressure in the nihght 
and walls that held you with us 
have fallen 
out of sight 
and the little love I had 
for all my friends and foe 
and the little lines we've drawn between us all have 
taken hold 
and the little love I had 
for all the friends I know
and the little time we got to share was worth it 
after all 
now we work it out in silence 
and the subplot to the end 
and its falling out of favour 
I've seen it where I am 
and the little love I had 
for all my friends and foe 
and the little lines we've drawn between us all have 
taken hold 
and the little love I had 
for all the friends I know 
and the little time we got to share was worth it 
after all

Santa Maria 
let me off of this boat 
I'm sick of this ride 
the world is heading ever southward 
and I can't stay in here 
and you're lying awake 
away on your side 
the feeling comes in waves and burns us 
and I don't wanna die 
from your slippery hands 
to the line of your throat 
the fever now consumes us both 
in a fire now we will go 
Santa Maria 
why did you have to go 
Santa Maria 
one day we will know 
in a bowing of heads and a passing of hands 
and all we thought they would understand 
is lost and they won't know 
and what have we left 
it's all that we got 
there is no x to mark our spot 
what's past is done and gone 
Santa Maria 
why did you have to burn 
Santa Maria 
one day you will learn

Disappointed 
the future takes us where it leads 
our heads just go beneath the waves 
time tells all and we obey 
but how could I be mad at you 
you did what you did and you followed through 
you were the one that always said 
forget it and move on 
but I'm not sad 
I'm just disappointed 
and I'm not mad 
I'm just disappointed 
well the years they got on top of you 
the working load it tallied up 
and you went down 
beneath it all like anybody would 
and I'm just ambling on in this town 
I can't get out an it drags me down 
these words don't even fit what I'm feeling now 
but I'm not sad 
I'm just disappointed 
and I'm not mad 
I'm just disappointed 
and you're not lost 
you're just misdirected 
and we're not going 
oh nowhere

Mighty Sword 
I may not hold you
for as long as forever exists 
I may not know you 
for as long as the heavens permit 
there will be distance 
and we'll both have to come to expect 
the wild ending 
of our dark and feathered friends
and we wield the might sword 
that cuts through bone and lays the liars down 
and we wield an angry sword 
that softens stone and turns the tides around 
she called me over 
and I'll wait by your building tonight 
but you may not bother 
but its better than feeding the lie 
I am recieveing 
the message that I need to go 
but I'm not leaving 
till one of us renders it so
