Blue Fog / Orange Light

Churches,
Churches rise and fall,
Churches rise and fall,
Waiting for your faith,
Someday,
Someday we'll all be gone from here,
Someday you'll pass on,
With your orange light,
With your blue fog,
You and your orange light,
Me and my blue fog,
You and your black dog,

Windowless

I'd like to know,
How you survive?
Your life's work blown away,
With a sweet aside,
A coincidence,
A singularity,
The universe has slipped through your hands,
For me it's only song,
For me it's only song,
How do you survive,
When you're gone so long?
I build with stone,
Up to the sky,
It's dark and cold and windowless,
But I want to fly,
Up to the sun,
Feed all my dreams to the machine,
Still I seek,
Where the clouds part,
And the stone is warm,
A breath of relief,
Home to work,
Work to home,
Peer through the rain on the windshield,
Stone cold at the end of the rainbow,
For me it's only song,,
How do you survive,
When you're gone so long?
I build with stone,
Up to the sky,
It's dark and cold and windowless,
But I want to fly,
Up to the sun,
Feed all my dreams to the machine,
I'd like to know,
How you survive?
Your life's work blown away,
With a sweet aside,
God roll the dice,
God move me on,
To another square,
Change my day to night,
For me it's only song,
How do you survive,
When you're gone so long?
I build with stone,
Up to the sky,
It's dark and cold and windowless,
But I want to fly,
Up to the sun,
Feed all my dreams to the machine,

Scared Of My Heart
02:32
|
|||
I'm scared of my heart,
And that it will leave me,
I'm scared of my heart,
And that it will deceive me,
I'm scared of the start,
I'm scared of the end,
I don't know which way this,
This road will bend,
I'm scared of my heart,
And that it will deceive me,
Will there be angels?
Pulling feathers from my skin,
Leaving sores that won't begin,
To heal over,
Will there be devils?
Pushing glasses in my eyes,
Looking hard will send you blind,
It's all over,
I'm scared of my heart,
Or will it be so calm,
The dark spring flows on,
I'm scared of my heart,
I'm scared of my heart,

Sadness All Over
05:44
|

Sadness,
Sadness all over,
When I walk the streets near home,
I taste it on my breath,
Our children,
Now they are much older,
I feel it on my shoulder,
The clean white hand of death,
Oh not so long ago,
A new beginning,
A laser point of light,
Picking out,
A distant far horizon,
A neat and tidy,
Clean white design for my life,
Older,
Now we are much older,
We should be at peace,
Need you,
Need me,
Bitterness,
An eastern cold,
A western fire,
The body needs completion,
We're wearing out our years,
In a costume damp with tears,
We're wading through mud on a darkening track,
My stone cold heart it takes no prisoners,
You're free to leave at any time,
You've given birth to our hostages,
We'll carry them for all our time,
Wading through mud on a darkening track,
An eastern cold,
A western front,
I kept a picture from a skip,
I creamed the scum of chintz,
A prince,
A princess,
A fairytale reminder,
A brother sister finder,
A cross to bear,

Wind blow gentle on my skin,
Wind blow gentle on my skin,
Show me I'm alive,
So alive I could burst,
Wind blow naked on my skin,
Green nature lay me down,
Green nature lay me down,
Icy blue water,
The sun and the moon,
Green nature lay me down,
Wind blow naked on my skin,
Show me I'm alive,
So alive I could burst,
Wind blow gentle on my skin,
Ain't nothing right,
Green nature lay me down,
Green nature lay me down,
Icy blue water,
The sun and the moon,
Green nature lay me down,
Stars in space shine down,
Stars up in space shine down,
Sun and moon,
Stars up in space shine down,
Wild plants and beasts be my crown,,
Green nature lay me down,
Wind blow naked on my skin,
Wind blow gentle on my skin,
Show me I'm alive,
So alive I could burst,
Wind blow gentle on my skin,
I'm failing,
I'm failing,
I been failing all my life,
I'm failing baby,
Nothing changing,
Ain't nothing right,
Green nature lay me down,
Green nature lay me down,
Icy blue water,
The sun and the moon,
Green nature lay me down,
Wind blow gentle on my skin

Bible
02:48
|

Bible bash me please,
Off a window ledge and out to sea,
There’s a garden in the sun,
Freedom for everyone,
Oh Baby make me change,
For the the distance I have run,
I should be home,
With my heavy heart,
I should be home worlds apart,
And if the money doesn’t kill you,
Something will Isaac playing fills my dreams,
Something’s dying mark my wings,
I hold my breath,
Look what this love brings,
Oh no don’t close your eyes,
Climb out through miles of sky,
Do you know how to speak?
This wine tastes bitter sweet,
Oh how I waste my time,
Ten thousand thoughts of how I love you,
Wicked man,
I love you,
Hold my hand,
And if the money doesn’t kill you,
Something will,
Isaac playing fills my dreams,
Something’s dying mark my wings,
I hold my breath,
Look what this love brings,
Bible bash me please,
Off a window ledge and out to sea,
There’s a garden in the sun,
Freedom for everyone,
Oh Baby make me change,
For the the distance I have run,
I should be home,
With my heavy heart,
I should be home worlds apart,
And if the money doesn’t kill you,
Something will,
Isaac playing fills my dreams,
Something’s dying mark my wings,
I hold my breath,
Look what this love brings

[Dean's vocal]
Old gold
Cold in the sand
To the hand
Lead in the head
Three lanterns of veiled light shone bright
Altered Closed sight
Wouldn’t grant permission
Transmit my submission
Premonitions dreamed earned no remission
Fires raged
Flared But gave no heat
Smoking
Writhing
Rhythms blue
That wrapped the world
Whirled it around
Revolved it around
Involved only me and you
Stuck to a timeline that closed us down
Glued us to ground
Mystical historical histories we adhered to
Like lyrical stars
Silks mellow as yellow
Like a sunny days torn daisy chain tangled across a purpled universe
Inverse
Diverse
Reverse
Divorced of everything but me and you
Threatened thunder
Lightening
Sparkling
Crackling
Frightening
Filled with electric melodies
Eclectic symphonies
Selected memories
Trapped in diaries
Bound in books
Wrapped in words we’d sworn to strike out
Score through
Ink linked single greetings
Lost times that rejection dejection
Our eventual defection
Healed over for you and me
Rising acres of sky upturned as I drove with inverse eyes
Making fields of the cosmos
A vacuum void of land
Solid in the secret air
Drenched by the scattered scrawling moon
Swinging swiftly up or down
Around and around the secret orbit of invisible but tangible you
Spread icily thin
Vague as dusted shadows imprinted on me by you
Which actually I never knew
Until then In the dark dusk of another dark dusk not you
And all the stars woven across silken orange night
Don’t
Somehow
Make that right
Until now
In the dark dusk of another morning
Another morning
Ever
Ever
Not
you
Beneath a roof of rainbows
Adrift storm whipped seas
Clouds were ashen Wind ripped
Gripped broken memory
Colours Hadron collided
Anti matter jig-sawed apart
Reality had ended
Forced heavy atmospheres to depart
He saw knives as red roses
Stab retina pierce heart
Bleed everyone
Everything
Parched
He saw moons as orange daylight
Grim rays pare flesh from bone
Peel scars beyond recovery
Haunted ghosts who would not roam
He saw suns as yellow light
Dark scalded beams that wrecked dreams
Kept experience at bay
He saw leaves as green flints
Tear loose
Fly the tree
Sail a sylvan spinning gale that spun
Sped free
He saw light as blue rust
Broken rooms where chandeliers fell from ceilings
Scattered dust
He saw print as indigo ink
Mark pages
Type stories he toiled in as feeble failed art
He saw veins as violet violence
Cross cracked across skin
Torn clawed and sliced
Prismatic diamond talons
Driving tearing in
[Huw's vocal]
I walk alone
To Borough Hill
Through steep valleys
The drool of beasts
Thick with earth
Grinding cold
Life slows
An ancient wall
To shore a kill
Witches bottle
Release the spell
Spirit dissolve
All my kings and queens
Poison my dreams
And poison my forests
And I can't hear
Hear the truth anymore
Then on a good day
Heaven on Earth
The clear song of grasses
The magnetic force
The shifting of tides
Nothing left but the outline
How I reach for
The warmth of the sun
At the height of summer
I feel
The tilting of the fluid in my eyes
Slipping over the way
Blood drain away
Drain away
Drain away
Blood drain away
Drain away
Drain away
Blood drain away
Drain away
Drain away
Blood drain away
Drain away
Drain away
Blood drain away
Drain away
Drain away
Blood drain away
Drain away
Drain away
Blood
River of tears

A Beautiful Life

John Chapman,
Died in the night,
I'm driving fast,
On the M1,
Teaching special needs,
Yellow submarine,
It's a beautiful life,
It's a beautiful life,
You'll see what I mean,
Eventually,
John Chapman,
Died in the night,
I'm driving fast,
Into the light,
It's a beautiful life,
It's a beautiful life,
You'll see what I mean,
Eventually,
You'll see what I mean,
Eventually,
We'll drive into the light,
My family,
Eventually
