1.This Pretty Mistake
I bled dry my heart for you
what good did that do
what good did that do
This pretty mistake (repeat x6)
Such a petty feeling
lingers on to colour everything
my wayward smile it comes undone
as the day folds up around the sun
This pretty mistake (repeat x6)
As I hang on you she waits for me
tired phrases repeat endlessly
is it never enough, am I never done
as the day folds up around the sun
This pretty mistake (repeat x6)

2.Turn Around
Dusted with sleep and happiness
we wake
stay here help me keep out thoughts of
what's at stake
The street is a staging ground
for a play of emotions
we part ways I sneak a glance
hoping that you will stop and
Turn around, (repeat x6)
How am I supposed to know
what to say
feeling all this seeing you
walk away
Thrown off balance blissfully
letting go
I should act more nonchalant
but then how to know if you'll
turn around
Dusted with sleep and happiness
we wake

3.Photos
It's so bitter (repeat x3)
Look at photos of people that I've known
what are we doing
dust-dry memories are running through my hands
what are we doing
It's so bittersweet, bittersweet, bittersweet
bitter
All those moments come tumbling down
never again whole
familiar feelings ghost into the spaces
you left behind
What are we doing (repeat x3)
It's so bittersweet, bittersweet, bittersweet
it's so bittersweet, bittersweet, bittersweet
bitter

4.Words for the Ones We Lost
A hundred thousand words pile up
the ones that kept me company
they've stuck around, gathered dust
unkempt, lonesome, distraught and such
You were that evil, that unknown
the one I could never escape
The fears that I've harboured I've set free
scattered round like blackened water drops
but at dawn I sit with your shadow
he tries to keep me company also
To know no bounds to want it all
that would be your downfall
time cannot save your soul
time cannot save your soul
In so many ways did you betray us (repeat x3)
To hide behind lies to turn away
that was all you were ever good at
all those one hundred thousand words
sink like stones covering the seabed

5.The War
I dreamt about you
silent footsteps in wet moss
the sky rained precious stones
or were they broken glass
I lay in bed
watching headlights dance and twitch
how can we talk our way
out of this one
You could be anywhere
you could do anything
I could be anyone
I have no name
Grasp at the air
in search of simple truths
I stick to my guns, stick to my guns (repeat x3)
I see a tear
escaping down your chin
like some rebel from a long forgotten
struggle
Just like me it's lost (repeat x7)
There's a hole in your heart where the love seeps in
there's a hole in my heart where it all flows out (repeat x3)
Just like me it lost the war

7.Emma
She stands completely still
miles of open road curled up in her mind
seems frozen there until
sudden movement unfurls all that's inside
Emma, so many days have come and gone
Emma, so many days have / come and gone
where our language lacks words
that empty space is yours
Go walking down that hill
don't turn back for the idea of someone
meaning well isn't love
no amount of time will ever change him
The fear you've felt I know so well
turns on itself
all those past days to live through
our burden to share
I hope to see you cast of your doubts
leave all that sadness behind
Emma, so many days have come and gone
Emma, so many days have come and gone
where our language lacks words
that empty space is yours
were our language lacks words
that empty space is yours
The feathers refused to fall
seemed frozen there until
but you moved on

8.Soft Voices
You wake at night
heart beating heavy
listen intently
it's over now there's no one
Weightless in the dark
your thoughts seek to trap you
to drag you down with guilt
but I see the good that you've done
Don't be afraid no, no, no
I tell myself through telling you
his ghost is here I know, I know
always alone but we are two
still that kind of betrayal lingers
Some questions asked
cannot be answered
will not be brought to silence
but there's an end to their demands
In so much we are
one and the same
I see what your eyes saw
you do not need my forgiveness
Don't be afraid no, no, no
I tell myself through telling you
his ghost is here I know, I know
always alone but we are two
Don't be afraid no, no, no
I tell myself through telling you
his ghost is here I know, I know
always alone but we are two
still that kind of betrayal lingers
Soft voices, soft voices

9.Rows of Houses
It's as if nothing's changed
rows of houses fill my eyes
covered in pale autumn light
quietly set afire
If I'd only stayed where you are
rambling and restless
are we all just crashing into one another
bouncing off the walls and
if I'd only stayed where you are
what is fear and where does fear begin
and will it ever end and will it ever end and will you
Stop those tears from falling, falling
and rise again
If I'd only stayed where you are
rambling and restless
are we all just crashing into one another
bouncing off the walls and
if I'd only stayed where you are
what is fear and where does fear begin
and will it ever end and the same as it ever
The same as it always is
the same as it ever
the same as it always was

10.Flashing Lights
In the midst of flashing lights
blaring sirens
through this you are born again
fled without warning
It leaves me wondering
do we, do we ever really get away
oh my brother
The last time I saw him
he could not even look me in the eyes
oh my brother
Only two steps
from the edge
Is it never-ending
are we all just circling the craters edge
oh my brother
Now I can see through you
through you
I see all his madness manifest
what a kinship
No more two steps
from the edge
In the midst of flashing lights
blaring sirens
through this you are born again
fled without warning
