I can not make sense of what the wind whispers to my ears
For years and years
Questions I’ve made
With no answers
To come my way
No sense of shelter
Do I ever feel
When I gaze
Into any of your eyes
You can cower away and board up your windows
Ride out the storm
Yeah there’s treading softly
But you just stand forever motionless

The Ferryman
02:59
|
|

Constricting and dragging the wrists and ankles of the flock
One by one they fall and become the foundations
The voices in our heads don’t speak, they fucking scream
So put your money in the hands of the Ferryman
This lack of substance leaves me so weak
More and more this discontent will grow, I know
Now unshackle ourselves and rid us of this weight
And put your money in the hand of the Ferryman
I swear no harm will come to you
Stray from the path
I swear no harm will come to you
Stray from the path, we’ll make our own
Strap my hands to the wheel and give me the compass
Set course in the opposite direction
I want to taste the corners of the Earth
Before my body is burnt in the underworld
I can’t lie to myself forever
Stray from the path
The sands are rapidly falling
So stray from the path
We’ll part for new shores

Snarling Teeth
03:03

We all walk around wearing snarling teeth
You can’t trust a soul watch your own back
We all walk around wearing snarling teeth
Courtesy and warmth died in the cold snap
It’s not the fact that we’re broke or getting old
The youth of today are so low and cold
No ethics or values to get in the way
From years and months of being lead astray
Grit your teeth
Be prepared to lower your head
And for your sake
Don’t look around
A glance is treacherous

Glitches
02:51

If my eyes did ever see disappointment
Then this is it
The host’s blood was never thick
But by no means drained
This baron scene is offering me no aid
There’s no means to follow our dreams
The populace has been replaced by wax works
And I won’t lay dormant much longer
We take these glitches in our stride
So are we just ghosts on this rock now?
'cause my feet still mark the earth
The nights come
And go too fast
So many streets
Lead to closed doors
What a sin
To love music
We’re always getting closer
But still no where near

Wastelands
03:26

Surely there’s more?
With eyes still new, I haven’t seen enough
I can’t settle
There’s a burning sense that something’s flawed
Should I ignore
Such strong thoughts and carry on?
Days fade away
All to often, all too quick
Wandering through the boneyards
Twisted snarls wait in shadow
Hyenas salivate as I navigate
Mislabelled signs will lead me in circles
The ground could swallow us up tonight
Blindly I could fall into the marsh
This task is arduous, but it’s worth the fight
The ground could swallow us up tonight
Lost and alone you’ll find yourself prone
To the vultures that swarm round your head
Lost and alone you’ll find yourself prone
To the vultures that swarm above your head

Solitary Confinement
03:09
|
|

Our nocturnal eyes will see the light of day
What were mere whispers will flood the airwaves
From the branches we have lingered
Only stirred to pursue lost causes
The Sun and Moon have agreed a truce
By mistake we have followed proceedings
Spread your wings and soak this up with me
Depart this place, believe me, you’re a king
Hope is alive, I see it in your cartoon eyes
To always regret will be the ultimate grave
At this point it’s all been said to me
Hopeful lecturers have shared their advice
At this point it’s all been said to me
Aspiring spokesmen have shared their advice
It might not be tangible but I…
No, it might might not be tangible but I…
Can feel it getting stronger every day
This clarity is what’s real to me
