Slow Down 04:34
She drifted off With the road against her cheek Under a tonne Of a black rolling grief Slow down Turn around And run for your life I went to sleep With a murder on my mind Caught in the rush Of a low sea sick tide Slow down Turn around And close your eyes
2.
Silent 04:44
You were the sun A golden form You let me hold Your light in my arms As the early light Of dawn was creeping Your voice rang out To wake the dreaming But then a storm Got in your bones The sun was drowned And you had to go The storm rolled in Into my window The rain came down On my pillow As you fell Silent You fell silent here Silent and cold Now the sky is blue Because the sun has faded And you now rest In a place forever shaded Silent You fell silent here Silent and cold
3.
Compassion hid in a lonely place Feeling left in a cruel embrace And my flame receded In the desert heat The moon will offer its frozen gaze And the sun burns away the shade But beyond those dunes A mirage of you looms I will be waiting for you here Until I have to disappear When I let forever come And fade in the merciless sun My new home in the elements Scavengers are my closest friends But as their hunger grows Their true colours show I will be waiting for you here Until I have to disappear When I let forever come And fade in the merciless sun Before the phantom on the sand can mourn The story that was never told Before the dogs can free my bones I will be waiting for you here Until I have to disappear When I let forever come And fade in the merciless sun
4.
When your mind runs in circles And the worried thoughts creep Iʼll bathe you in my endless sea Until you drift to sleep When the people come knocking Asking you to emerge Iʼll help you close those open doors Keep you safe from the world I will sink into your pores And colour all you see Iʼll burrow down into your core So you wonʼt leave me Donʼt try to run Iʼve already won Cause you are a part of me When your heart stops racing And youʼre able to think Iʼll gently take you by the hand And guide you back to the brink I will sink into your pores And colour all you see Iʼll burrow down into your core So you wonʼt leave me
5.
Waiting for the right Moment to arrive When light drains from the sky And kills another Sun What have you done The hours pass the same Twelve numbers twice a day The ground that creeps below Will one day rise above What have you done A glimpse or a glimmer Whereʼs the proof of life Whereʼs the proof of life A wink or a whimper Whereʼs the proof of life Whereʼs the proof of life Gone without a trace But the junk I couldn't take A lifetime dissipated Before it had begun What have I done A glimpse or a glimmer Whereʼs the proof of life Whereʼs the proof of life A wink or a whimper Whereʼs the proof of life Whereʼs the proof of life The image finally fades Without a place to stay A memory never made The song is left unsung What have we done A glimpse or a glimmer Whereʼs the proof of life Whereʼs the proof of life A wink or a whimper Whereʼs the proof of life Whereʼs the proof of life
6.
When your blue eyes turn to grey As the clouds let in the shade And the world begins to fade Behind the curtain When you're plunged into the deep Emptiness of sleep And your waking days recede Below the surface When the daylight turns away I wonʼt need a distant sun to light the way Cause Iʼll find you in the dark between the stars The dark between the stars When you feel youʼre getting close To living with the ghosts And you drift along the coast Before eternity When the daylight turns away I wonʼt need a distant sun to light the way Cause Iʼll find you in the dark between the stars The dark between the stars

Lost Thought 00:37
8.
Head 03:21
Time moves forward But your face gets left behind Yesterdays Pull you further from my mind Youʼve been away too long Youʼve been away too long And soon youʼll be gone From my head A box of photos Are the table scraps of time Two dimensions Keep you safely in your prime Youʼve been away too long Youʼve been away too long And soon youʼll be gone From my head There will come a day When the thought of you will fade Evicted and displaced As new memories invade If you could find a place to hide You could stay inside my head
9.
Out here beyond the blue With everyone in view And just out of reach This isnʼt how it ends By now they must have sent Someone for me Look and you might see A glimpse of me Rising with the Sun My silhouette Wanders the unknown But Iʼm coming home Iʼm not lost, Iʼm just losing Iʼm not gone, Iʼm just going Out here beyond the blue I share stories with the moon And wait for my descent I watch for the blinking lights From my incoming flight But so far theyʼre absent Look and you might see A glimpse of me Cast against the Sun My silhouette Frozen and alone But Iʼm coming home Weightless Aimless Drifting through the gloom Thoughtless Blameless Never-ending view Iʼm not lost, Iʼm just losing Iʼm not gone, Iʼm just going Look and you might see A glimpse of me When the sun goes down My silhouette Gets lost in monochrome But Iʼm coming home
10.
Hailstorm 03:49
A hailstorm Is watching me Flashing a grin Of broken glass teeth Becoming numb Becoming numb Becoming one A hailstorm Is calling me From the frostbitten shores Of a motionless sea Becoming numb Becoming numb Becoming one A hailstorm Is burying me Safe in my tomb Preserved in the freeze Becoming numb Becoming numb Becoming one
11.
I fell under your spell At the end of the world Chemistry made uneasy Got swept off the edge A mind bent on descent Ushered in the night You haunted my shadow Possessing my thoughts Concealing me in your white sheet You left a ghost where I stood A mind bent on descent Ushered in the night You keep me still Under the surface Just out of reach Now I walk among the stones Where the memories dwell A neighbourhood of earth and wood And the bones of tranquillity A mind bent on descent Ushered in the night You keep me still Under the surface Just out of reach You keep me still Under the surface Just out of reach Just out of reach
12.
The hands of time I sought to delay But the look in your eyes tells me you cannot stay My selfish love has been outweighed And your belated release is on the way As the days crawl by It will be alright But in the meantime I am still losing you Now I look for the dreams where I hope you await If it were up to me you I know that I would stay But reality fades in with the cruel light of day And the hands of time carry you farther away Now the years fly by Everythingʼs alright But after all this time I am still losing you I am still losing you
13.
What is Left 04:07
So here I'll stay A new recruit In an old collective Set adrift eternally I know I have bested time What is left of me? In this cosmic tragedy Back home they'll say He's the one who got away Now we mourn the ghost Of the drifting man Is this my legacy? I don't know Just a blink in time What is left of me? But a fading memory A passing thought Of an endless journey Dusty photographs Neglected artifacts Serve as a quiet reminder That I was here What is left of me Is a faint anomaly A brief satellite In a grander scheme
