How Many Times

How many times can I say that I want you?
I need you
I need you…
When I was standing all alone
All alone
Mmmm
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
Can you feel me?
How many times did I call out?
Hope for a future with you
Hope for the ways that you move
Hope for the things that you say you’ll do
Oh, come now my love.
Ahhh

Promised Land
05:34
|

I’ve been so distant away
Caught in the system today
Come one come all into the night
Into the desert “hear our cry”
Oh no, it was for nothing.
(Send your rain, Oh God)
The burden is heavy the travel so long
(Kill our fame, Oh God)
Take back the mantle that was so lost
(Hold the pain, Oh God)
Cover the children cover the man
(Make your way, Oh God)
Send us the rain, heal our land
Bramble and honey, you say
Good for the tummy always
We always search for something to sustain
But now we’ve learnt to take the easy way
Oh no, we were so stubborn
(Send your rain, Oh God)
The burden is heavy the travel so long
(Kill our fame, Oh God)
Take back the mantle that was so lost
(Hold the pain, Oh God)
Cover the children cover the man
(Make your home, Oh God)
It’s not what I thought of the promise land
There’s still time left for us
Time left for us, time left for us
There is still time, there is still time for us
There’s still time!
(Send your rain, Oh God)
The burden is heavy the travel so long
(Kill our fame, Oh God)
Take back the mantle that was so lost
(Hold the pain, Oh God)
Cover the children cover the man
(Make your home, Oh God)
It’s not what I thought of the promise land

The Process
04:20
|

What does it mean to be honest,
With all that's gone on?
Do you notice that you're miles away?
I need to be more than honest
If I want to keep you close.
Standing at the edge, and I’m afraid.
Ahhhh
It’s out in the open
Ahhhh
You chose to go, I know
Ahhhh
The silence is crushing
What does history mean to tell us?
That all things can change,
Subject to the feelings in the fade.
Ruminating too long tell me
That I’m not enough for this.
It’s uncanny that we’re in the grey.
Ahhhh
We’re out in the open
Ahhhh
I know you don’t I know
Ahhhh
The process is crushing you
Ahhh
Feeling honest
The process is crushing you

Into The Moon
04:32
|
|||
|
Endless night
Broke by sunlight
I wish I could have seen it
Beauty comes
Then it goes again
I wish I wasn't dreaming
Oh, I'm sinking under
Oh, I'm struck by wonder
You're calming my oceans with all of your notions It's fair to say safe to stay
And wait as we gaze
Into the moon
Holding time
Has never been my strength
It's been my weakness
To get out of my own head
And, lay the feelings to rest
Oh I wish it was that simple
Oh I'm sinking under
Oh I was led to plunder
I'm caught in fighting myself and denying it's hard to find the silver lining
I'll wait as we gaze
Into the moon

light the room
03:04
|
|||
|
I wait as you enter the room
Wide, deep and howlin’
Open, split in two
Green, eyes drownin’
Oh, you light the room
You light the room
Currents flow from your lips
Eyes, wide and smilin’
If only you could see truth
Their heads are rollin’
Their bodies turnin’
Oh, you light the room
You light the room

I've been searching for hours
It's alright for you
Underneath pages and pages of regret
Piled in the assumption that
I am, I’m in the wrong
I've grown a quick trigger process to hide
I'm finding it hard
I'm getting caught in the moment of it all
It's never enough for me
I thought we’d shelved all the contempt
I turned my back
You’ll be a cushion to land on
I’m the brick wall
We’re both so good at assuming,
But I know, I know I’m right
I’ve done all this for nothing again
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
It's all how you say it's alright for you
And all in your words you hate me, I love you
And so, I don't cry it's all right, don't fight,
Honestly, I am burning, burning from the inside

I'm Waiting
05:06
|
|||
|
I felt it, oh I felt it
Right in the place where you left us
Oh, I'm fighting, out right denying
All the things that have caused me to doubt myself
I have come to this
This conviction that I have missed
Oh oh oh
I'm tired of waiting what I'm waiting for
Oh oh oh
Anticipating
One foot out the door
How could I leave it?
Turn face I'm conceding
Ooo
Could we say that it's a lost cause?
Fighting the light finding the life between glorious ruins
Maybe I should just forget it all
Trying to win and never take the fall
I have come to this
This conviction that I have missed
Oh oh oh
I'm tired of waiting what I'm waiting for
Oh oh oh
Anticipating
One foot out the door
How could I leave it?
Turn face I'm conceding
Ooo

Out Of The Contempt
04:24
|
|||
|
What day is it?
And in what month did I open my eyes
Out of the contempt
A haze so thick I don't recognize me
Higher and higher I come
Out of the contempt
Further and further I run
Out of the contempt
Faced with the things that I’ve done
Out of the contempt
Maybe I’ve just overcome the voices calling out
Mmm
Could you resist?
Cease and desist you questioning of it
Caught in the crossfire
Of fear and desire, it's crippling us
Higher and higher I come
Out of the contempt
Further and further I run
Out of the contempt
Faced with the things that I’ve done
Out of the contempt
Maybe I’ve just overcome the voices calling out
I wish I could save you
I wish I could make it right
I wish I could feel it all
Just wish I could stand to fight you
But your power is brooding
It’s testing me through the fire
And I think that I’m moving
I just think we should move on
Higher and higher I come
Out of the contempt
Further and further I run
Out of the contempt
Faced with the things that I’ve done
Out of the contempt
Maybe I’ve just overcome the voices calling out
Higher and higher I come
Out of the contempt
Faster and faster I run
Out of the contempt
Faced with all of the things that I’ve done
Out of the contempt
Maybe I’ve just overcome the voices
