1.The Flickering Wall
In my world in my little world
Life lies upon the floor
The wind blows in and out again
Through windows and through doors
And it's there i'll look and it's there i'll find
What it was i started after
When i mistook what i had in mind
For something made to matter
I heard the footsteps in the street
I saw the lights on the flickering wall
I moved my lips but i couldn't speak
Choked on the wonder of it all
Choked on the wonder of it all
In my dreams recurring dreams
But i was never there
Life is still so invisible
Just needing to be where
With any luck i might just find
What it was i started after
When i undertook what i had in mind
When everything mattered
When i saw the gods up in the sky
I saw the lights on the flickering wall
I saw the world through hazel eyes
And choked on the wonder of it all
Choked on the wonder of it all
I heard the footsteps in the street
I saw the lights on the flickering wall
I moved my lips but i couldn't speak
Choked on the wonder of it all
When i saw the gods up in the sky
I saw the lights on the flickering wall
I saw the world through hazel eyes
And choked on the wonder of it all
Choked on the wonder of it all
Choked on the wonder
Choked on the wonder
Choked on the wonder of it all
2.The White Hotel
I want to be on that
White capped mountain peak
Above the lake above my station
A moving carriage
The perfect marriage
Of like apart from destination
Ringing all the bells
Down at the white hotel
Tonight
I want to write the letters
Of persecution
To someone i don't know who doesn't know me
I want to be the dust
Inside a vacuum
An icecube frozen in the melting sea
Ringing all the bells
Down at the white hotel
Ringing all the bells
Down at the white hotel
Tonight
Tonight
Ringing all the bells
Down at the white hotel
Ringing all the bells
Down at the white hotel
Tonight
Tonight
Ringing all the bells
Down at the white hotel
Ringing all the bells
Down at the white hotel
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
3.Proud To Fall
Here you come again
Acting like a saviour
There you go again
Talking like a stranger
You said we must all learn to face
What we're becoming
And then i saw you in the distance
Off and running
But from start to finish
I was proud to fall
And i fell deep within it
I got lost inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all
Looks like rain again
Feels like it's rained forever
Can't remember when
Don't remember whether
I ever really told you who i was
It must have been because because because
From start to finish
I was proud to fall
And i fell so deep within it
I got lost inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all
I fell between the bruises
And the red curtain call
I prayed you'd light the fuses
And we'd burn and torch it all
Long days jouney into
Long nights journey out
Knee deep so deep within you
I kept and keep without
You said we must all learn to face
What we're becoming
And then i saw you in the mirror
Off and running
But from start to finish
I was proud to fall
And i fell so deep within it
I got lost inside it all
From start to finish
I was proud to fall
And i fell so deep within it
I got lost inside it all
I got lost inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all
Inside it all
4.The Cape
All confused and all consuming
Scaled the heights of dizzy love
Didn't know how vertigo
Could leave me in the balance of
My heart and the gods above
Stung and all strung up
It's only navigation
So i'm moving overground
Past the cape of levitation
I'll keep hanging in
When all the chips are down
Wooden houses telegraph poles
Gave me reason and my shape
Casting shadows marking pathways
Signposts showing our escape
Signposts showing our escape
The day the time the place
It's only navigation
So i'm moving overground
Past the cape of all temptation
I'll keep hanging in
When all the chips are down
All aboard and all or nothing
All for one and one for all
The information must be hidden
Not not not for one and all
Not not not for one and all
One push and we will fall
It's only navigation
So i'm moving overground
Past the cape of all levitation
I'll keep sailing through
When all the chips are down
Down down down
Down down down
Down down down
Down down down
5.Candleland
Get your handleful of rememberance
For you to sprinkle through your life
In between the penance
That you carry by your side
With the make belief and the miracles
That only come alive
In candleland
Candleland
Wear your guilt like skin
And keep your sins disguised
Take some salt and sugar
And rub it in your eyes
You'll know that something's left you
Just as you arrive
In candleland
Candleland
I walked back inside me
I'd gone back from my youth
As i came down the fire escape
It must have stayed up on the roof
They say you just know
And the knowing is the proof
Of candleland
Candleland
Candleland
Candleland
Candleland
Candleland
Candle
The candleland
6.Horse's Head
A single rose
The curtains close
A stranger's clothes
Were all i found
The great unknown
The tightrope show
A world below
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Horse's head found in a bed
Broke the code and braved the weather
Wore a gown of chestnut brown
Finger's crossed that there's a heaven
Heaven heaven heaven heaven
Found a scroll
And ancient bones
A million ghosts
Were all around
The great unknown
The tightrope show
A world below
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Horse's head found in a bed
Broke the code and changed the weather
Wore a gown of chestnut brown
Finger's crossed that there's a heaven
Heaven heaven heaven heaven
I found a scroll
And ancient bones
A million ghosts
Were all around
I found a scroll
And ancient bones
A million ghosts
Were all around
Horse's head found in a bed
Broke the code and braved the weather
Wore a gown of chestnut brown
Finger's crossed that there's a heaven
Horse's head found in a bed
Broke the code and changed the weather
Wore a gown of chestnut brown
Finger's crossed that there's a heaven
Heaven heaven heaven heaven
I found a horse's head
I found a horse's head
I found a horse's head
I found a horse's head
I found a horse's head
I found a horse's head
I found a horse's head
I found a horse's head
7.Faith And Healing
Everyone was running scared
Someone talked and someone heard
The twisted end to all the words
That i'd hung on to
One more time inside the dream
Where nothing has to be this real
And i don't ever care to feel
What i don't want to
You once said i thought too much
But never thought enough to touch
Eyes so sad evergreen
The saddest eyes i've ever seen
Lost all reason and belonging
Can't do right for doing wrong and
I don't like the way i'm feeling
Need your faith healing
Healing healing healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Pick me up and hold me there
Leave me hanging in the air
Till i promise i will care
The way i used to
Diamonds in the pool tonight
Reminds me of what nights were like
Before i feel into a life
That i got used to
The shining sea the silver sky
A perfect world before my eyes
Don't be scared don't you cry
If all the world goes passing by
Lost all reason and belonging
Can't do right for doing wrong and
I don't like the way i'm feeling
Need your faith healing
Healing healing healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
You once said i thought too much
But never thought enough to touch
Lost all reason and belonging
Can't do right for doing wrong and
I don't like the way i'm feeling
Need your faith faith and healing
Lost all reason and belonging
Can't do right for doing wrong and
I don't like the way i'm feeling
Need your faith healing
Healing healing healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
Faith and healing
8.I Know You Well
Is your mind made up or willing
To be changed or to stay true
Are you primed to make the killing
Or too scared to follow through
When all the blood is spilling
Will it be too real for you
I know you well
I know you well
I know you well
Yes, i know you well
When everything is hollow
Holiness will call for you
And i will have to follow
And you will follow too
Will all those silver dollars
Be enough to see us through
They know us well
They know us well
They know us well
Yes, they know us well
Is your mind made up or willing
To be changed or to stay true
Are you primed to make the killing
Or too scared to follow through
When all the blood is spilling
Will it pour right out of you
You know me well
You know me well
You know me well
Yes, you know me well
You know me well
9.In Bloom
Think twice
And do it
Stale life
Don't chew it
Cloud lands
Fog reason
Blue skies
Wrong season
So soon
Vanishing haze
Perfume
Of old bouquets
Rice fields
Feet soaking
Minefields
Here's hoping
So soon
Vanishing haze
Perfume
Of dead bouquets
In bloom
In bloom
In bloom
In bloom
Think twice
And do it
Stale life
Don't chew it
Cloud lands
Fog reason
Blue skies
Wrong season
So soon
Vanishing days
Perfume
Of dead bouquets
In bloom
In bloom
In bloom
In bloom
In bloom
In bloom
In bloom
In bloom
In bloom
In bloom
In bloom
In bloom
10.Start Again
Woke up sad
When am i ever gonna learn
It's in my head
But i can't say the words
I had it in my hands
Lost my nerve
I gave it and i got it
In return
One day
I'll come around
Wonder when
I'll turn around
And start again
My fingerprints
Have left their traces
On all the things
The people and the places
I ever felt
And felt a part of
I touched the life
And kissed the heart of
One day
I'll come around
Wonder when
I'll turn around
And start again
Start again
Nothing dies
Nothing ever dies
Woke up sad
When am i ever gonna learn
It's in my head
Time to take my turn
I had it in my hands
Lost my nerve
Gave it and i got it
In return
And one day
I'll come around
Wonder when
I'll turn around
And start again
I'll come around
And start again
Start again
Wonder when
Wonder when
Wonder when
