Calamity Kingdom Come

You water your world to make it grow,
You clipped and tied and you broke through the stone,
You branched out, you bathed and soaked,
You twisted and climbed, you wrapped and choked,
And when your roots were upped and cut,
You fell hard,
To see your calamity kingdom come
To see your calamity kingdom come
You water your world to make it grow,
And you follow only where the light goes,
you break back through the cold hard stone,
And lay before another, another unknown,
And when your roots are upped and cut,
You fall slow,
To see your calamity kingdom come
To see your calamity kingdom come
You find water for your world,
One spilled drop from a high flying bird,
You can see in the dark now,
You can hear the birds,
And from time to time you gaze through the dirt,
To see your calamity kingdom come
To see your calamity kingdom come

Hair Of The Dog

Fetch me a hair of the dog that bit me
Coz I’m dying here
Sling me a shot or a bloody Mary
I’ll trade it all for a warm flat beer
Coz I’m tumbling and I’m rolling
Once more
I lay strewn at the break of noon
And I wait lonely for you
With the bitter taste of laying to waste
Everything we ever worked through
Fetch me a hair of the dog that bit me
Coz I’m dying here
Sling me a shot or a bloody Mary
I’ll trade it all for a warm flat beer
Coz I’m tumbling and I’m rolling
Yeah it’s crippling and it’s holding me
And I don’t know anything at all now
This decision has torn down
The only shelter I’ve known
And all it shows is that everything I wished for
Was granted by the fistful of seeds unsown
Fetch me a hair of the dog that bit me
Coz I’m dying here
Sling me a shot or a bloody Mary
I’ll trade it all for a warm flat beer
Coz I’m tumbling and I’m rolling
Yeah it’s crippling and its holding me
Once more

So Softly, So Soon.
04:10

Well I'd rather lie here waiting with the drumming of the rain,
As it scatters all the replays across the sliding pain,
And the thunder roles away unaltered and untamed,
And there you fall so softly, so soon.
Well I wish that I could join you but it's impossible to say,
When I will, achingly frustrated, slam the door on the day,
Where the dreams will be as fleeting as immeasurably strange,
And there you fall so softly, so soon.
I wanna pair your disillusion with my entirely underwhelmed,
I wanna circle your confusion in my chasing my own tail,
And my unrighteous indignation and your monumental burden,
Can lock in a war of shock and awe and won't realise we've left them,
All the worry and the trouble that we can't lay to rest,
Will tear us down.
So softly, so soon.
Well I wanna pair your disillusion with my entirely underwhelmed,
I wanna marry your exhaustion with my nothing left to sell,
and my unrighteous indignation and your monumental burden,
Can lock in a war of shock and awe and won't realise we've left them,
All the worry and the trouble that we can't lay to rest,
Will tear us down.
Will tear us down.

Gone To Ground
03:59
|

Truth is here that this will never stop,
And I have gone to ground.
You're losing tears from fears of waking up,
And I have gone to ground.
Don't make me back down,
Or lay me back down,
'Til I dry out,
Any more.
Truth is here that you will never stop,
And I have gone to ground.
I'm losing fears from years of waking up,
But I have gone to ground.
Don't make me back down,
(Don't make me back down I'll dry out in your love and I'll drown in you)
Or lay me back down,
'Til I dry out,
(Don't make me back down I'll dry out in you)
Any more.

After All These Years
04:02
|
|||
|
Wherever you go, there you are,
Chasing down that old road again.
And wherever you go there's a star,
But it only shines above you every now and then.
Until you fall through the night,
Like a child of light,
After all these years in the fight have come,
To shatter your insight,
Make you dream like a child all your life,
Waiting for the light to come around again.
Wherever you go there you are,
Scrolling down that same page again,
And wherever you go there's a scar,
But it only shows to those who know your name.
Until you fall through the night,
Like a child of light,
After all these years in the fight have come,
To shatter your insight,
Make you dream like a child all your life,
Waiting for the light to come around again.

World's In The Dark
05:42
|

For the fairground it's lights down and the very last ride,
And the world's in the dark.
The footfall is scattered and the litter blows wild,
And the world's in the dark.
The world's in the dark.
Extractors pump grill smoke and hotplates cool down,
And the world's in the dark.
And the drunk trip on tire tracks scarred deep in the ground,
And the world's in the dark.
The world's in the dark
And all that made me feel alive is fading out of sight.
You know I could scale the fences when no one's around,
While the world's in the dark.
I could clamber through the ghost train and never make a sound,
While the world's in the dark.
While the world's in the dark.
Coz all that made me feel alive is fading out of sight.
You know I could climb the service lines and never close my eyes,
While the world's in the dark.
And you'll be the heroes in your nightmares and I'll be the king of the skies
While the world's in the dark.
While the world's in the dark.
Coz all that made me feel alive is fading out of sight.
And all that made me feel alive is fading out of sight.

Watergun Plastic
02:51
|
|||
|
The riverwalk smelt like watergun plastic where the litter gathers under wood calved seats.
The end-of-day rain cools your face, soaks your neckline,
And the dank, orange lamplight floods the cheap screen print streets.
Headlights and breaklights and halos of halogen light carparks and woodyards through roof gutter leaks,
And a break in the clouds is as loud pistol pink as the watergun plastic by your bare, back garden, feet.

Ain't Lonely Now
03:19
|

|
Time was finite until you came and sat here by my side,
And night fell so light, I could stay here in silence through sunrise,
Coz I know I ain't lonely now.
Life was an almighty fuck ton of bullshit that I can't hide,
So you try and dry your eyes and stay in line,
But I know I ain't lonely now.
So you try and dry your eyes and stay in line,
But I know I ain't lonely now.
I know I ain't lonely now.
