Who Are We?
on the highest top, in a golden preach
'ain't no souls beneath'
no ghosts in the room, full moon, splendid outbloom
on the highest top, in a coloured haze
marvellous things are made
endless silver source, high score, instant outpour
who are we?
If we dance, if we dream
who can we be?
on the highest top, in an eager hunch
wings too close to the sun
holy river running dry, no supply, shattered outcry
on the highest top, in a lonesome rage
the last song is caged
forest giants on the run, no return, scattered outburst
who are we?
if we dance, if we dream
who can we be?
who are we?
if we dance, if we dream
who can we be?
who can I be?
who can I be?
I want to
my feet can't resist the groove
on the darkest night
voices harmonise
I want to
my feet can't resist the groove
on the brightest day
the sound of a new age
one big wave of change, earthquake, gathered outbreak
who are we?
if we dance, we dream
who are we?
if we dance, if we dream,
who can we be?
who are we?
we dance, we dream
we dance, we dream
who can we be?
The Whale's Cry
I feel so small and alone
Another tidal wave crashing down on me
It’s all so overwhelming, you know
This insurmountable blue surrounding me
No ears for the whale’s cry
I feel so small and alone
Merely a plankton, weightlessly I float
In this sea that’s been drenched with our greed
It floods our deeds now and I grief,
for the loss that we’ve caused
with our exceeding speed
No ears for the whale’s cry
No ears for the whale’s cry
Oooohh,
I hear you now
I see you now
I feel you
Oooohh,
I hear you now
I see you now
I feel you
Together we are
I feel so small, but not alone
With every move that we make
We’re all making waves, it effects all
So I’ll be sending out some more and that’s all
It takes
Lending ears to the whale’s cry
Lending ears to the whale’s cry
Oooohh,
I hear you now
I see you now
I feel you
Oooohh,
I hear you now
I see you now
I feel you
Together we are
Yearning For Yesterday
We watched the sky changing
That night looking over the rooftops
We thought those clouds would just roll by
That night looking over the rooftops
We thought those clouds would just roll by
how we didn't notice
how could we've known this
Soon they'd change everything
The rain remains
The yearning for yesterday
Echoing through my head
Are you still there?
Now I'm staring at my ceilling
And all the shadows on the wall
Looking for a reason
To give you a call
how could we've known this
Soon they'd change everything
The rain remains
The yearning for yesterday
Echoing through my head
Are you still there?
Now I'm staring at my ceilling
And all the shadows on the wall
Looking for a reason
To give you a call
But I don't know to say this
Eversince that day I've been
Wanting you bad
The rain remains
The yearning for yesterday
Echoing through my head
Are you still there?
The greenlands that we danced on
Her rivers we drank dry
Sick of thirst she called the storm
The birds left, the choir resigned
So clear I see it now
It's nothing like we ever thought
Strange how it turns out
That forest is us
The rain remains
The yearning for yesterday
Echoing through my head
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
Eversince that day I've been
Wanting you bad
The rain remains
The yearning for yesterday
Echoing through my head
Are you still there?
The greenlands that we danced on
Her rivers we drank dry
Sick of thirst she called the storm
The birds left, the choir resigned
So clear I see it now
It's nothing like we ever thought
Strange how it turns out
That forest is us
The rain remains
The yearning for yesterday
Echoing through my head
Are you still there?
Are you still there?
Shitty Architect
We were sitting in your garden
I watched you watching the fire burn
My vision got clearer, I saw flowers bloom
and wilt
I decided my eyes were lying and my heart,
it was just fooling me
It was pretty clear
I was the fool not to believe
Only too late
I built a wall, built it on sand
To make it last, I've tried everything
Bricks drop
When you shake the ground again
And it turns out
I'm such a shitty architect
Thought I would know you like I had known you
Before I knew you well
Thought I would go through what I'd went through
till you cast your spell
you hurt me
Only too late
I built a wall, built it on sand
To make it last, I've tried everything
Bricks drop
When you shake the ground again
And it turns out
I'm such a shitty architect

Blue Skies On Hold
So that's it
In front of our eyes
The whole scene
Just disappeared
Out of the blue
No blue
In these skies
It takes too long
Too see the sun
Light up this domain
It's getting cold
The silence is so deafening
Can you see it now
We'll have to wait it out
We can't control
How it's coming down
All we've known
Blue skies on hold
Seeking for light
In this infinite tunnel
You're burning up
One last breath
The exit is in sight
Then fades away again
And the distance keeps growing
We're so disconnected now
Can you still hear me?
Cause I hear you very loud
And u havent told you
That I always had
That feeling of wanting you
To be where I am
Can you see it now
We'll have to wait it out
We can't control
How it's coming down
All we've known
Blue skies on hold
All has changed, it's still the same
Don't lose hope, it's just on hold
You miss those times
So do I, so do I
(2x)
Swallows
Swallows are flying low
Rain will fall
Hurried footsteps on the ground
The wind starts to howl
I wanna go home
Where you are
The little crack in your voice
When you call my name
What happened dear, something's changed
Rain will fall
Hurried footsteps on the ground
The wind starts to howl
I wanna go home
Where you are
The little crack in your voice
When you call my name
What happened dear, something's changed
The shaking of your hands
The void of the silence
I'm terrified
The lights in your eyes are dying
A power breakdown left us in the dark
Let me light a candle
I'll start a fire to keep us warm
The void of the silence
I'm terrified
The lights in your eyes are dying
A power breakdown left us in the dark
Let me light a candle
I'll start a fire to keep us warm
Curled up on the couch
I wanna hold you, but you're so fragile
And I'm afraid
What if those swallows won't fly high
The little crack in your voice
When you call my name
What happened dear, something's changed
I wanna hold you, but you're so fragile
And I'm afraid
What if those swallows won't fly high
The little crack in your voice
When you call my name
What happened dear, something's changed
The shaking of your hands
The void of the silence
I'm terrified
The lights in your eyes are dying
Swallows are flying low
The void of the silence
I'm terrified
The lights in your eyes are dying
Swallows are flying low
Hinterland
Out of range
I can't reach you anymore
In the hills of weathered grey
You're carrying the weight of the world
I can't reach you anymore
In the hills of weathered grey
You're carrying the weight of the world
You met fear, on your darkest night
Dragged you down and blocks your view now
You're receiving words untrue now
It's cold in hinterland
You're signal's lost
Drenched in, drenched in
Dark thoughts
and you get caught up
Dragged you down and blocks your view now
You're receiving words untrue now
It's cold in hinterland
You're signal's lost
Drenched in, drenched in
Dark thoughts
and you get caught up
So you're pacing through the exhibition of could have beens
Chased by all these people you should have been
They're all whispering in your neck:
'Try more, be me instead
or you'll never be enough, you'll miss out on your masterwork'
Chased by all these people you should have been
They're all whispering in your neck:
'Try more, be me instead
or you'll never be enough, you'll miss out on your masterwork'
So you're running round, switching paths, pulling breaks now
overwhelmed, stressed out, confused now
you got lost in these endless halls
and you thought you'll never get out
overwhelmed, stressed out, confused now
you got lost in these endless halls
and you thought you'll never get out
You're signal's lost
Drenched in, drenched in
Dark thoughts
and you get caught up
Drenched in, drenched in
Dark thoughts
and you get caught up
You'll get up
You'll get up
Can you feel it already?
The sun breaking through
The warmth on your cheeks
You'll paint in the breeze
You'll get up
Can you feel it already?
The sun breaking through
The warmth on your cheeks
You'll paint in the breeze
Can you feel it already?
The sun breaking through
The melting of your fear
The air is clear
You'll get out
You'll get out
You'll get out
The sun breaking through
The melting of your fear
The air is clear
You'll get out
You'll get out
You'll get out
