Glass Road

On a journey void of mercy
Where our lives are marked by trails
You find yourself waving from a window
Of a carriage bound for the milky way
Leave the light behind you
No staring where to fall
Forced to soar above this old world
From the day that we could crawl
It's a glass road that we're walking on
It don't get much better no matter which way we turn
It's a glass road that we're walking on
Fortune favours the brave
No matter which side you're on
There's a beacon in the stars
No truck stop up ahead
No clearing in the chaos
To rest ones weary head
Everyone loses someone
Best you lose them best you can
Respites the best reward
While we make the choice just where we land
It's a glass road that we're walking on
It don't get much better no matter which way we turn
It's a glass road that we're walking on
Fortune favours the brave
No matter which side you're on
These things
Litter the streets
These days I ain't so sure
I can still use my feet
But life lives without us
So we better just land
We gotta get off the glass road
While we still can
It's a glass road that we're walking on
It don't get much better no matter which way we turn
It's a glass road that we're walking on
Fortune favours the brave
no matter which side –
Glass road that we're walking on
and it don't get much better no matter which way we turn
It's a glass road that we're walking on
Fortune favours the brave
No matter which side you're on

Kings cross lights a lonely cup
Looking down but thinking up
The hand is dealt with suits and clubs
and silent faces
Freedom came with better news
In every town it's who knows who
There ain't no choice
Just fold or lose
and never say the things like
I'm keeping well
But I'm hoping you could help
This is just the part of me I let you see
Quiet is my hell
So you may never tell
This is just the part of me I let you see
This is just a part of me
Bricks on flesh against the wall
Nothings changed since starting school
The litter breeds the strays
Through the skies to a strange place
How hard it is to find a home away
But everybody must try
So I say I'm keeping well
But I’m hoping you could help
This is just the part of me I let you see
Quiet is my hell
So you may never tell
This is just the part of me I let you see
This is just the part of me I let you see
This is just a part of me
But I lost my crown and regal robes
Under the bridge when I was woken
By the Morphett road magpies
and I swore that I'd never forget
All the words under her breath
Mouldy memories dim like headlights
As the blanket crawls over my eyes
Where I can say I'm keeping well
But I'm hoping you could help
This is just a part of me
Quiet is my hell
So you may never tell
This is just the part of me I let you see
Say I'm keeping well
But I'm hoping you could help
This is just the part of me I let you see
Holding on so well
trapped inside a bitter cell
this is just the part of me I let you see
this is just the part of me I let you see
This is just a part of me
This is just a part of me

Wishing On Forever
03:54

Take the handle bars
As fools collide in cars
Can you hear it as it starts
The cry of history repeating
All these things they'll soon mean nothing
As the chronicle is cast
Weeping and wondering why
such things must last
When we don't know why
The present fades before us
We don't know where it disappears
All we know is that it will
We can't be wishing on, wishing on forever
We can't be wishing on, wishing on forever
Times a sinking barge
We are rusting, we aren't anchored
As the seasons turn to ones we can't believe in
Standing for some kind of system
With pursuit for pride and full of false rewards
Playing games to hourglasses
Which we turn however fast
Suits us now we can only measure
We need to learn we can't control it
No we can't be wishing on, wishing on forever
No we can't be wishing on, wishing on forever
See we don't know why
The present fades before us
We don't know where it disappears
All we know is that it will
Yeah, we can't be wishing on, wishing on forever
No, we can't be wishing on, wishing on forever
We can't be wishing on, wishing on forever

Sweet Chardonnay
03:40

Can you feel the rain where you are today?
Heavy, oh so heavy
Tried staring at a photograph
and tumbled back in time to the
Finger tips and the finger tops
Like soft rain drops
Pitter this and patter that
This could last for hours 'cause it's
Midnight, starlight got saliva glowing
Sweet chardonnay
Hints of berry, salt and cherry
Oh, oh, sweet chardonnay
Hear the cracks between your breath
Warm candles wax
You sing soft beside
Cold camomile
I drift into linen
'Cause It's
Midnight, starlight got saliva glowing
Sweet chardonnay
Hints of berry, salt and cherry
Oh, oh, sweet chardonnay
Midnight, starlight got saliva glowing
Sweet chardonnay
Hints of berry, salt and cherry
Oh, oh, sweet chardonnay
Can you feel the rain where you are today?
Heavy, oh so heavy
Hints of berry, salt and cherry
Oh, sweet chardonnay

Once I was a drifter
Now I am a stone
Wish maker, bread baker
Living in a phone
Once I was a lover
Now I am a ghost
Heart wrench-er, kiss quencher
Just another clone
I could be the careless kind
To lay you down so light
But the time has come to give your love to a stranger
Yes, the time has come to give your love to a stranger
Once I was a runner
Now I am the ruins
Herd chaser, breath taker
Floating in the flood
Once I was a farmer
Now I am the soil
Sky shaper, star scraper
Flying in the foil
I could be the careless kind
To hang you up in lights
But the time has come to give your love to a stranger
Yes, the time has come to give your love to a stranger
Once I was a drifter
Now I am a stone
Wish maker, bread baker
Living in a phone
But the time has come to give your love to a stranger
Yes, the time has come to give your love to a stranger
Yes, the time has come to give your love to a stranger

Roses Can Be Blue
02:54

Walking this city in the wintertime
Watching the world like a ghost
I know you like the river, naked as the trees
Winding my way through your empty streets
Hold me tight as I fly like a kite
I love you more right here right now knowing
Someday you will die
Waltz with me in the land of now
Bury me with you
Sing with me as we both know how, you know
Roses can be blue
My footfall may be a fickle guide
For now lets believe we are never alone
I'll wade into the water, head out of the blue
Counting the clouds frame this crescent moon
It might make you weary but it might make you wise
I love you more right here right now knowing
Someday you will die
Waltz with me in the land of now
Bury me with you
Sing with me as we both know how, you know
Roses can be blue
Like rips surging underwater
Takes us deeper than we know
I saw the petals floating away
I was holding my breath
Under the weight of our clothes
It didn't make a splash
But I felt it crash down
I never saw it coming
It never made a sound
It's swimming in circles
Inside of my head
All that it said is
I love you more right here right now knowing
Someday you will die
Waltz with me in the land of now
Bury me with you
Sing with me as we both know how, you know
Roses can be blue
Roses can be blue
Roses can be blue
Waltz with me in the land of now
Bury me with you
Sing with me as we both know how, you know
Roses can be blue
Roses can be blue
Roses can be blue

Sucker For That
02:55
|

There are moments like these
You can hear peoples teeth, as the corks whistles into the air
Screaming and shouting straight down the shaft
I am afraid, I'm afraid for the future
We can all gather round, we can see it right now
As it's draining away
I wish I could paint you a picture
A man of few words
Can still say too much
Stilt walking clowns on the pavement
It's a bummer 'bout this
But you're a sucker for that
If you turn off the tools
You'll here you calls, there's a door but there isn't a wall
The cake is still rising, but the tins for the shed
I'm afraid, I'm afraid for the children
'Cause some are so young that they may not be ones,
With time to be parents at all
So I wish I could paint you a picture
A man of few words
Can still say too much
Stilt walking clowns on the pavement
It's a bummer 'bout this
But you're a sucker for that
Well I wish I could paint you a picture
A man of few words
Can still say too much
Stilt walking clowns on the pavement
It's a bummer 'bout this
You're a sucker for that
Still wish I could paint you a picture
A man of few words
Can still say too much
Stilt walking clowns on the pavement
It's a bummer 'bout this
but you're a sucker for that

All The Years To Come
03:56
|
|||
|
Do you ever feel your standing on
The outside looking in
A satellite all wrapped up in skin
All this loneliness and lust
The diseases of desire
Keep on billowing all around us
As we throw our hearts to fire
I keep thinking things can't be this simple
I keep waiting for the wheels to come undone
Speak my name
For every sigh or more
Whisper to me softly
Shout it out the door
Speak my name
Like I'm the only one
For all the years to come
Have you seen the deserts out beyond the Alice Springs?
The horizon runs for miles, makes you question what it means
To be building city skylines that take more than they give
While all we seek is someone with an answer that might fit
But I keep thinking things can't be this simple
I keep waiting for wheels to come undone
Speak my name
For every sigh or more
Whisper to me softly
Shout it out the door
Speak my name
Like I'm the only one
For all the years to come
For all the years to come
Still I keep thinking things can't be this simple
Still I keep waiting for wheels to come undone
Speak my name
For every sigh or more
Whisper to me softly
Shout it out the door
Speak my name
Like I'm the only one
For all the years to come
For all the years to come

How far will this go
Leaving this world behind us
How far will this go
Leaving this world behind us
How far will this go
Leaving this world
These bright stars
How dim they seem
Which light your mask
So fair and so pure
The sweet, the sweet voyeur
Soaring high between your breaths
Within your eyes a sweet unrest
The coldest wind opens the sails
Left alone with tilted scales
How far will this go
Leaving this world behind us
How far will this go
Leaving this world
Oh, the splendour of this view
Gazing down at the darkest blue
Would it fail you twice to disappear here
Aloft your world with all it's clues
Glide your smile unto my visions
Sweet gum scents that still linger
Awake I am in this pure mess
We'll fly forever or descend to death
How far will this go
Leaving this world behind us
How far will this go
Leaving this world
Leave it now, like pocket change
Or hide within, protect what still remains
Send light from stars, illuminate the cure
Then rest my dear, my sweet voyeur

The Dead Things Grow
04:05
|
|||
|
You can try to cure something you cut
So close to you
With a word, unspoken
Or a line that comes to soon
It's not the words you say
It's the way you say them
It's from the part inside
Not where you break and batter and get cut down
The dead things grow
It's from the part inside
Not where you burn and bruise and fall apart
The dead things grow
The dead things grow
Picture now
To be led somehow and led astray
You move too fast
Just to leave some kind of mark on stars
The lie becomes the song
As you try to dance along
It's from the part inside
Not where you break and batter and get cut down
The dead things grow
It's from the part inside
Not where you burn and bruise and fall apart
The dead things grow
The dead things grow
It's from the part inside
Not where you break and batter and get cut down
The dead things grow
It's from the part inside
Not where you burn and bruise and fall apart
The dead things grow
The dead things grow
It's from the part inside
Not where you break and batter and get cut down
The dead things grow
It's from the part inside
Not where you burn and bruise and fall apart
The dead things grow
The dead things grow
The dead things grow
The dead things grow
