lyrics
Full swing, the knives are out, the crowd has spoken They’re swarming faster than bees They howl, they howl and wail with eyes wide open The sound incises the breeze And clouds they rain upon this vile commotion And lend the furor the of the seas The hordes are like a comet fast in motion The wrath it’s coming in threes Who, what? Not me, I was anonymous Who, what? Not me 3000 boomboxes that are half-broken Would sound nicer than these These hounds all locked inside this crazed emotion And they’re all deaf to your pleas Who, what? Not me, I was anonymous Who, what? Not me Base, ungodly, it is synonymous with me

Lights 04:04
lyrics
How to find repose These October days we’re sitting in bars long after they’re closed Nowhere to go And sleep won’t take hold So I’m sending you songs I wrote And I have no focus, I’m gonna explode Orphans in the cold All day overload How to stay composed As this all unfolds Don’t want to pile it on, don’t want to overload, overload Same time can’t just be swept aside I just can’t shake you even if I try but then why would I? That’s like trying to stamp out the Northern Lights You remind of me nobody, you and I live timelessly In that timeless space we reside And our embrace has these slabs of concrete in between Blast them out one at a time Orphans in the park Orphans in the dark Dark morning Oh, incessantly calling me

lyrics
If I didn’t hope, I’d be a varlet Takes some mettle to keep your feet light Devastating is the colour scarlet But so’s the colour white Umbral, penumbral showdown Sombre but humour me How much of it can you see? If I pull anything Out of this at all If I pull anything Checking on the pulse Beat reporter Plastic tentacles Reaching in Icing the impulse Need more water Temperate ventricles And I I don’t have the time to stray I don’t want the time to weigh It can go so many ways If I pull anything Out of this at all If I pull anything I suppose it’s the thought that makes you sink Oh if I pull anything Out of this at all It could be that it’s spring Puncturing the fog and you’re unable Blowtorch to the fog and you’re unable Gnashing at the fog, you’re unable To defy the sky’s many whims So saunter through it as it floats Saunter through it as it floats Wear it like it is your coat As it lifts you let it go Saunter through it as it floats Wear it like it is your coat As it lifts you let it go Let it

Swept 03:58
lyrics
Continent’s shapes are ever changing Disintegrating, re-arranging Never meant to be just a tourist Ducking out before the final chorus All of these things that I cannot control I can ‘t know I can’t, no You hold it, you hold it, you hold it, you hold it Then let go Then let go All these changing shapes, these changing forms In another place that is so warm The weight it becomes vapour and it’s gone As I draw circles on your palms Weight of a continent falling upon you Takes its toll, takes its toll The lightness that comes when night is upon us As we float, off we float And all that you know is that you’re getting swept along Tidal pulls, tidal pulls And all you can do is just dive in headlong Ah ah ah ah Gliding down these foreign passageways And all that you know is that you’re getting swept along Tidal pulls, tidal pulls And all you can do is just dive in headlong Ah ah ah ah And all that you know is that you’re getting swept along All that you know is that you’re getting swept along Tidal pulls, tidal pulls, tidal pulls, tidal pulls

lyrics
You say there’s a golden age Not the words of a sage There never has been, never will be, aren’t any golden days You see, every age is black and gold and grey In every era, every chapter, every single page No halcyon days Golden age Human nature has always been the same It just manifests, manifests in different ways And it’s a shame to say there’s a superior age Trying to gild a time that has long gone away No halcyon days Golden age No halcyon days No such thing as halcyon days There are no days that outshine Golden glazing blurs, it blurs the many shades No golden age

lyrics
I’m going for a ride and I will drag you all behind The world needs me like you need a glass of turpentine All the missile, all the muscle and the miles All the pistols emanating from my bones I can turn rivers into puddles like you wouldn’t believe My kind of hike involves stomping anemones All the missile, all the muscle and the miles All the pistols emanating from my bones Get ‘em, get ‘em now Get ‘em, get ‘em now I am a grim magician, test me I can make rubble out of all your greatest dreams All the missile, all the muscle and the miles All the pistols emanating from my bones You build yourself a house with all the love that you have I whip up homes like cheap cookies All the missile, all the muscle and the miles All the pistols emanating from my bones Get ‘em, get ‘em now Get ‘em, get ‘em now Wills are bending now Worlds are bending now Rent a planet now Rent a planet now Do the tailspin now The tailspin now All the pistols, all the pistols from my hands into yours All the missiles and I mould them like it’s nothing at all Get ‘em, get ‘em now Get ‘em, get ‘em now Rent a planet now Rent a planet now Worlds are bending now Wills are bending now Do the tailspin now The tailspin now

lyrics
Czar gave us the call Now, go and smash your phone Fields will turn to mud and corporals into bones The whale it creeps the channel with a steely calm Kaiser grips the handle with his sweaty palm Borders, porous Far from safe for tourists Paris displays So many light years away Who are all these people? Moved to the city They’ve got pianos now and electricity Their groans have grown so loud and the dynasty looks old We need a war to march them back into the fold Borders, porous Far from safe for tourists Paris displays So many light years away Showing off our furs and bulbs Our telescopes and Russian dolls Thought this was the pinnacle But here we are with barracks full Showing off our films and all our canvasses in ornate halls Thought this was the pinnacle But here we are with barrels full Thought they would be swiftly folding Folding, folding Is that your head that you’re holding? Holding, holding Thought we’d be home Christmas morning Morning, morning Never did hear all the warnings Warnings, warnings Thought they’d be home Christmas morning Mourning, mourning

Storm 05:19
lyrics
Status quo it will not, will not do Obstacles be damned, let’s see this through Walls oh walls tearing people apart Turn those bricks to dust, to dust, depart Comes a time, a time for a shuffle Yes it’s time, it’s time It’s no time, no time to be muffled Never a time, never a minute, no Small-scale wars are bigger than we think Small-scale turns to large-scale as we blink We can sigh ‘til we’ve lost all our muscle ‘Til we’ve breathed all the air we can blow All these winds collecting in your torso So breathe a storm, so breathe it, let it go If just for a moment now A moment with some pulse A moment that will make the previous ones explose And if you don’t let it simmer Let it rise from the cold Let is rise up to heights astronomical Not to fade or plummet, no Change comes Change lifts Change bends Change rips Change calls Change takes Change pulls Change gives Change pulls Change gives
