A flash of green is all I've ever seen
Before we both get swept away
This old machine will tell me what I mean
But it can't tell me what to say
Under the sea
Can we agree
Never to be
Other than we
Happy to see
Who we could be
Under the sea
I thought I knew the damage we could do
Before I found the broken shells
My words were true when I said them to you
But now they sound like someone else

Alone But Never Lonely
03:24
|

I'm alone but never lonely
Hopes I've known are far below me
And those to come are high above
When they arrive we'll call it love
For now the sky is heedless of me
Once I tried to feed the fire
I felt inside with raw desire
The fire burned hot as the sun
Then it went out when it was done
And I'm still here a match for no one
All the stars in the galaxy
Steer clear of ours and that works for me

Golden City
03:36
|

Golden city underneath the sea
Cold and pretty in your sovereignty
Steel and mortar rise against the drag
On the water flies a lonely flag
Modern treasures dark upon their shelves
Window shoppers only see themselves
Should a tourist stumble to your door
She may wonder who it all was for
No one's daughters stand in memory
Silent waters flow into the sea

Shelf Life
03:12
|

Has your mind seen the light?
Have your eyes seen the stars?
Have your hands made it right?
Does your heart know it's ours?
Open the door, step outside yourself
Leave your fears on the dusty shelf
I dare you
Can I have another piece?
I haven't got enough
Don't wanna take what I can't seize
I've never been that rough
Close the door, I'm back up on the shelf
I'm happy here, hidden with myself
I swear to you

Alex and Emma

Will you still love me when the revolution's over?
This violent life can go to hell
Now tolls the past its own death knell
Shall we dance?
So much control to be torn down
Can we escape before we drown
Or forget what we would save?

Bad Blood
03:16
|

On the night we unravel, who will travel
Down the well by the stable, who is able?
Maybe she will imagine me, and I imagine her
On the night of our terror, will I scare her?
The moon on the water will disappear
The white horse is slaughtered, and our name is fear
Maybe she will believe in me like I believe in her
Soon we'll see who will bleed when I show myself

Part of me is hoping
Part of me will never see
The ways I try to keep myself
From learning why it's always
The part of me that wants to die
Some of you are wishing
Some of you could see right through
The things you do to keep yourself
From learning who was always
The part of me that lives in you

Sleep Well
02:40
|
|||
One law, two tiers
One time too many
Too big to lose
One single penny
Sleep well tonight
Don't count us out
Your number's up
One world too tired
To bring you meaning
Three parts in four
No longer dreaming
Sleep well tonight
We sheep don't count
Your number's up
