It Was The System
05:00

Far beyond the bounds of this life
There would be a different future
Some futures die
Every cog lined up to make noise
Damn it was a beautiful racket
And now it's quiet
That world machinery we were constructing
Now it's idle
Right before the start of what we planned was planned to end
And now it's quiet
Seventy-seven commissioners plucking their own cameras out
I said good riddance
We got nothing actionable, just fashionable
Detach them all
Now you turn to me
Now you turn to me
And in my defence I couldn't change a thing about the system
Yeah it wasn't just me
It was the system that did it to us
And I would have changed something if I could have
But there was no left turn
It was the system behind the wheel
I recognize a note in this drawer
Scattering the memories in summary
So close the door
Leave me in the fort where I lie
Heaven never wanted to get dirty
And now it's quiet
Now the doors are opening somewhere in the distance
I can hear the metal scraping
I can feel the heat intrude into the room
And now it's quiet
Every actor who was passing through was driving down a road
They were bouncing in the air
They were free
Now you turn to me
Now you turn to me
And in my defence I couldn't change a thing about the system
Yeah it wasn't just me
It was the system that did it to us
And I would have changed something if I could have
But there was no left turn
It was the system behind the wheel
Scattering the memories
Scattering the memories
Now you turn to me
Now you turn to me
And in my defence I couldn't change a thing about the system
Yeah it wasn't just me
It was the system that did it to us
And I would have changed something if I could have
But there was no left turn
It was the system behind the wheel

Want More
02:25
|

Any of you got love?
Any of you want more?
You're amazing when you're leaking it
Anyone would think you're made of it
And I have mostly shaped my life so that I could feel good
It hasn't always gone my way, but I mostly feel fine
I want the same for you
If only you would take it from me softly
Any of you got time?
Everyone could use more
If it weren't for death I'd get nothing done
Every hour slips by
Bye-bye
And I have mostly shaped my life so that I could feel good
It hasn't always gone my way, but I mostly feel fine
I want the same for you
If only you would take it from me softly
And with curiosity

Loose Colours
04:09

I can see you
Settle down, settle down
Loose colours flowering above your mouth
Now we get to bleed through the border of your dream
Past the line you once drew
We're dancing ever faster round your light
I wanted to show you something there
Do you know what it means to see that sign right there?
It could have taken another form if we weren't in this place
Anything you're following, you know you can relate
Variations on a theme, on a theme
It's a revisionist take
I can see that it's time to bleed through the border of your dream
Everything we taught you is radiating brightly from your eyes
I wanted to show you something there
Do you know what it means to see that sign right there?
It could have taken another form if we weren't in this place
Anything you're following, you know you can relate
I wanted to show you something there
Do you know what it means to see that sign right there?
It could have taken another form if we weren't in this place
Anything you're following, you know you can relate

Lost In Renovation
02:59
|

The things I hate
Cos they block love
I know them well
Through self-examination
And just because
They're part of me
I know it's my responsibility
To cut them out
One by one
Piece by piece

Stop Running
04:12
|

Welcome to the era of the bleeding knuckle
Repetition of the day in every hour
Motion no more than a strong vibration
We're chasing and we're chasing with no destination
Do you think we're going back to where we came from?
Memory's so warm but we were gone for so long
Don't you realize that everything changes?
I don't honestly believe what we knew's worth saving
One day when we may stop running
Could we have it better please?
Our day in the sunshine is coming
I see its reflection inside my dreams
There's a possibility we end up somewhere
Other than the where we would always target
When we get tired, we have to hold on
But what do we grasp with desperate hands to make ourselves go make ourselves?
One day when we may stop running
Could we have it better please?
Our day in the sunshine is coming
I see its reflection inside my dreams
Don't go back, don't go back
Weren't we leaving anyway?
Weren't we leaving anyway?
Don't go back, don't go back
Weren't we leaving anyway?
Weren't we leaving anyway?
Don't go back, don't go back
Weren't we leaving anyway?
Weren't we leaving anyway?
Don't go back, don't go back
Weren't we leaving anyway?
Weren't we leaving anyway?
One day when we may stop running
Could we have it better please?
Our day in the sunshine is coming
I see its reflection inside my dreams
Don't go back, don't go back
Weren't we leaving anyway?
Weren't we leaving anyway?
