- Bare My Soul
Stephen said why not write something
That’s not so deep and meaningful?
But the truth can be so,
Tragic and beautiful.
Blythe said she could never
Tell anyone just how she feels.
How will anyone know when,
- Demons
All of my dreams have flown away
All of my ambition with the wind
Now you're here.
I never thought I would be satisfied
With anything I had
Now I'm not so sure.
I waited so long for you
Now you're here I don't know what to do
- Firelight
Soft, soft the firelight
On my mother's face
Reading by candlelight
Everything in its place.
Outside the willow tree
Weeping in the wind.
I'm a man more sinned against
Than sinning oh I swear.
- Here Is The Place
Drive me slow, down the road
Sound the horn on every bend.
Bow your heads, respect the dead
For he had many, many friends.
Now follow the road, through the tunnel of trees
To the big, wide open field.
And take a left, up the muddy track
To the house where I grew up...
- Holding On
The moment that you wake from your disguise
They record you with their eyes
No matter how long or hard they'll try
You know they won't shake it
You know they won't shake it
Reaching for the scene that holds you round
To find what you begin
- Holy Rivers
Please don’t tell me, you think it’s too late.
I’m not ready, to accept this fate.
The seas will rise, to reclaim the land
And we’ll realise, we are still so small.
Peace be with you, when the lights go out.
Hearts are heavy, overcome by doubt.
Seas will rise, to reclaim the land
- Incubation Song
Take me
Contain me in your womb
Don't give me room to breathe.
Suffocate me
Reinstate me in you.
I am falling apart, I am
Falling apart tonight.
Just imprison me and
- Kirrilee
You remind me
Of places, I have never been.
You take me to places
I wish that I had seen with my own eyes.
But you know that I'm happy here
Staring into yours.
Light another cigarette now honey
Mix another snake bite and black.
- Last Night On Earth
She sings me the saddest of songs
I cannot help but sing along
Forever after in my head.
There'll be no stopping once she starts
The eternal burden of the queen of my heart
I wanna be free but can't let go.
- Losing Touch
Scared of losing touch
If I really mean that much
Why pretend that you love him?
Don't call me out the blue
When it's clear that I still do
And you know he knows it too.
Going home alone
The only love I've known
- Throwing Stones
Empathy Test - Throwing Stones EP (2014)
Flicking through yesterday’s news
Slipping my neck into the noose again
Well it fits so well.
Doesn’t know where her loyalties lie -
Then again neither do I.
Going out getting drunk on gin
- Vampire Town
I need a break from this vampire town
It sucks my blood and leaves me to drown
In a lover’s bed I might rest my head
But don’t go thinking I’ve left you for dead.
The wind blows around these tired feet
That push me always down a one way street
You know I love you all I need is time
