All We Have
03:59

Sitting wondering if I’m missing what the others have
A steady job, a caring home, family in their beds
Flowers on the table, photos on each wall
I don’t know what I’ve been waiting for
Something tells me I’ve been here before
Getting old was easy when you couldn’t see the signs
But then all I ever learnt in life was that nothing ever lasts
Staring down the papers, scared to turn the page
Wondering how this is all we made
Something tells me this is all we’ll have
And I’m not sleeping
Don’t wanna see the trains and lights, the hooded men, the blackened doors and dragon tails
Maybe it’s time to make a plan like,
Moving to the country with my man
The king who burns his castle, just to steal the maid
The fallen in their shackles praying for judgement day
Hoping for an angel to come down and say
Honey, take my hand
Didn’t you learn that nothing ever lasts
No, this ain’t all we’ll have

Imposter

I’m in over my head
Taking time on my own
I’m calling my friends
To ask them if they know, about
Stupefying dreams
and bursting at the seams
And the twists and turns that make us yearn for the times that we were younger, wild and free
Where do I begin
Draw a line through all you know
I don’t know if I
Can help feeling so low
When it all falls down
Will you come to take us home
What if I begin
And it’s lost forever
To my friends I feel a nuisance
And I’m practising my prudence
Drinking tea on the kitchen floor at
3 o’clock in the morning and nothing ever felt so real
And I’m nursing my head
Pretending that I’m better than that
Tell me do I belong
Wanted this for so long
To hear the words sweetly from your bed
Where do I begin
Draw a line through all you know
I don’t know if I
Can help feeling so low
When it all falls down
Will you come to take us home
What if I begin
And it’s lost forever
They fall, fall
They fall, fall
They fall, fall
Fall, fall, fall
Where do I begin
Draw a line through all you know
I don’t know if I
Can help feeling so low
When it all falls down
Will you come to take us home
What if I begin
And it’s lost forever

She Rose
05:40
|

The wind was howling and the shutters flailing
Time was on our side and my heart was racing
Holes in knees try to please our mother
Plastic cups of tea tell her you love her
Oh, this is the start
Won’t you laugh about it, laugh about it,
Born from thunder she rose
Summer came and the bulbs were popping
He asked me if I’d like to taste what he’s been puffing
Now I’m mistaken for my mother
Choke on smoke but god knows I love her
Oh, this is the part,
Won’t you write about it, write about it,
Born from thunder
And now oh, chase away those cars
Won’t you laugh about it, laugh about it,
Oh, won’t you laugh about it, laugh about it,
No, don’t you laugh about it, laugh about it,
Oh, won’t you laugh about it, laugh about it,
Oh
So the fire’s on the outside, racing towards the front line, breaking down the peace and silence
Oh she’s a wild one
Oh the fire’s on the outside, racing towards the front line, breaking down the peace and silence
Oh she’s a wild one
So the fire’s on the outside, racing towards lines, breaking these binds, so the thunder started
Oh the fire’s on the outside, racing towards lines, breaking these binds, oh the thunder started,
She rose
She rose
She rose
She rose

The Reckoner
05:44

So your mother showed you the window
The path she tried when she was born
She returned for the winter roses
But she never called
And she never really came home
I’ll be your reckoner
I’ll be your saviour
I’ll be your comforter
I’ll be your deranger
So your father told you to
Lay low, lie hard, play rough, fight fast
And there’s a power in the playing of the people
I’ll be your reckoner
I’ll be your saviour
I’ll be your comforter
I’ll be your deranger
And those, came before us
Will they ever let go
And those, falling for us
Will they come here,
With their echoes
And the road behind
For peace to find a moment that can be given
To take a rose and throw it into the sea
For the sea can take our dreams and why we’re living
Put the rollings all at ease
For the roses fall from heaven
The rose is all we need
To fall asleep
I’ll be your reckoner
I’ll be your saviour
I’ll be you comforter
I’ll be your deranger
