Cage

It ran for years but these are cold days now
And in this cage I take the sun
Safe on the sill
These were my days until you came
These were my days until you came
Love to torment me
With your wicked hook nails
Telling me it's a lover's caress
And all that you say is true
Well more or less
Well more or less.
Maybe a bird could one day fly from you.
This cage is safe but I can't leave
Be free from you.
Will I ever get away?
Do I want to get away?
Love to torment me
With your wicked hook nails
Telling me it's a lover's caress
And all that you say is true
Well more or less
Well more or less.

Things Put Away
03:44

Told you both it wasn't true,
Yeah-yeah, but you both knew.
By the time I worked out what I had to do,
Time ran out, so I ran too.
To feel a pain that isn't really there.
But never heals, that's how it feels
Like losing precious things I'd put away.
Never found, never found.
Make promise rings out of anything
And dedicate ourselves to every cause
In winter coats and with stupid grins
We let it all sink in
And if we never get to somewhere safe
Somewhere we can bear to live alone
We'll throw ourselves into the atmosphere
And just leave us there
‘Cause we'll be safe, for sure
Not sure what else I can say
Yeah-yeah, you've heard it all
So turn myself into some kind of friend.
That's how it ends, that's how it ends.
But know that pain that wasn't ever there
Will never heal, will never heal
And I still can't find these things I put away
But we'll fine, we'll all be fine
Dismembered tenderly while laying out
Our list of alibis for every sin.
With excuses that were paper thin
We knew we'd never win.
But we ran rings around anyone,
Yeah, anyone who tried to pin us down.
And if this sadness tries to drag things down
I won't mind,
I hope you remember.
I know I’ll remember…

Weight of a River
02:01

I'm building a home by a mountain river
I'm building a place to stay
I'm building a home by a mountain river
Where I know it will be washed away
I'm building a home by a mountain river
And that night when the flood comes down
Everything I have will be gone by the break of day
Everything I have will be gone by the break of day
I carried a load that almost broke my back
And I carried it up that hill
I carried a load that almost broke my back
Broke my spirit and my will
I carried a load that almost broke my back
And until that flood comes down
Seems to me like I'm going to have to carry it still
Seems to me I'm going to have to carry it still
Now I can't swim to save myself
Can barely swim at all
I can't swim to save myself
And the river's almost through these walls
So all I can do is sing this song
Now that the flood's come down
And everything I am will be gone by the break of dawn
Everything I am will be gone by the break of dawn

Northerly

Another weekend
Sees me driving north again.
Rain batters the windscreen
Maybe should've got the train
Wind's picking up now
But at least it means that it won't freeze
So I'll take the back road
And look out over cold grey seas
Where the memories of a friend still lie
And while currents surge and churn
They'll work his legacy
Still in my memory
Still in my memory
We'll sort of talk and listen
And we'll sort of carry on.
Held on in the hard times
And still her will stays strong
And disappointments she can hide
But can't push the hurt aside
And so we are crushed,
Regrets weigh so much
Regrets weigh so much
This is what I'll cling to
And hope I can stay true
To my faith in strangers
And to my faith in you
And to my faith in fragile love
And those who are near me now
And to my faith in fragile love
And those who are near me now
Remind me of this
Remind me if you can

Monstrous
03:22
|

So maybe there's this monster
That lurks inside of me
Best you don't see it
Best we let it be
Best let these kind of monsters
Hide themselves where no one else will see
Or lock them in the wardrobe
Then don't forget to throw away the key
Best let that kind of monster
Cry themselves to sleep alone at night
But I am not the monster
The monster's just a little part of me
It's painful and it's lonely
Knowing there's a monstrous side of me.
But maybe you've got monster
Somewhere in your family tree
And maybe you're part monster
Just the same as me
Then we could be together
Huddled in a corner on our own
And we can stop pretending
And just be monstrous right down to the bone
But we'll be gentle monsters
And never bother anyone we meet
A pair of happy monsters
Getting on monstrously.
