Only Follow

So let's not pretend
That you've seen the end
No one knows those breaks and bends
And let’s not pretend
That we all depend
On the words that you expend
All those words you wrote into my head
Still,
I’ll only follow
Only borrow
Never swallow
For all my days
I’ll only follow
Only borrow
Feed tomorrow
For all my days
So let's not hand down
All those screams and shouts
Only whispers are allowed
And let's not just leave
Far beyond the sea
There's so much behind those -
Words I thought I’d never even read
Still,
I’ll only follow
Only borrow
Never swallow
For all my days
I’ll only follow
Only borrow
Feed tomorrow
For all my days
Honestly
I don’t know your name
I don’t know your face
I don’t want to
Honestly
I don’t know your name
I don’t know
So let's not pretend
That you've seen the end
No one knows those breaks and bends
All those words you wrote into my head
Still,
I’ll only follow
Only borrow
Never swallow
For all my days
I’ll only follow
Only borrow
Feed tomorrow
For all my days

For All My Sins
04:12
|

Waiting for the sun to arise
It won’t stay, it won’t stay
But I’ll keep my eye on the horizon
For the change, for the change
‘Cos it takes the kind of man who forgets about today
Yeah it takes the kind of man who remembers why he stays
But I’ll wait
For you
Like I always do
For you
Oh won’t you let me sing
Tonight will I ever begin
Oh for all my sins
I never left your side
But I’ll wait
For you
Oh let the city sleep
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
As I walk down disfigured streets
I’m alive, I’m alive
But I’ll wait
For you
Like I always do
For you
Oh won’t you let me sing
Tonight will I ever begin
Oh for all my sins
I never left your side
Oh I feel you under my skin
Tonight, and it’s wearing me thin
Oh for all my sins
I never left your side
Still I’ll wait
For you
And I always will
For you
Oh won’t you let me sing
Tonight will I ever begin
Oh for all my sins
I never left your side
Oh I feel you under my skin
Tonight, and it’s wearing me thin
Oh for all my sins
I never left your side

Hosts
03:54

Erase all my erasers
Chase after all my chasers now
I’ll wait to
Call back all of my callers
Revolve round my revolver now
They’re waiting now
‘Cos lately I’ve been up in the trees
To get the gravity, off from my feet
And lately I’ve been drinking the sea
To wash away the weeks
'Cos when your hosts come down
And your ghosts crawl out
Then your words will speak out loud
Rest my case when it’s jaded
Wash my face when it’s facing out
Don’t fail to
Preside my individual
Subside all my habitual sounds
I hear them now
‘Cos lately I’ve been out in the fields
To let the levity, out of my reach
And lately I’ve been up in the trees
'Cos when your hosts come down
And your ghosts crawl out
Then your words will speak out loud
‘Cos lately I’ve been up in the trees
To get the gravity, off from my feet
And lately I’ve been drinking the sea
To wash away the weeks
'Cos when your hosts come down
And your ghosts crawl out
Then your words will speak out loud

Give Me War
04:17

Chinese burns
Were whispers first
Gotta laugh about it
Lessons learned
From books that were burned
Gotta laugh about it
Steal my verse
Steal my verse
Dead man walks
And talks the talk
Gotta laugh about it
All these thoughts
Are cheese and chalk
Gotta laugh about it
Heal my talks
Heal my talks
Wait, I will fly
Cos I will fight the ones who give me war
Taste, all my time
I’ll invite the ones who give me war
All these scars
From fallen stars
Still laugh about it
Jaded claws
Scrape at the doors
We’ll still laugh about it
Feel my flaws
Feel my flaws
Wait, I will fly
Cos I will fight the ones who give me war
Taste, all my time
I’ll invite the ones who give me war
Feel my flaws
Feel my flaws
Wait, I will fly
Cos I will fight the ones who give me war
Taste, all my time
I’ll invite the ones who give me war

Russian Dolls

Yeah you, you’re like a Russian doll in Rome
There’s no need to call it home
When you’re saddled with your own
‘Cos we’re, hanging off the words you say
Falling down in strict array
‘Til they all just wash away
But I’ll still spin in the ground with you
I’ll spit at the howling moon
Still sit in the fire with you
Yeah I’ll still spin in the ground with you
Still omit the grand review
Some days, you’ll see ships that pass at night
Put your blindfold on in light
Crossing over black and white
When you, when you've swallowed up the sun
And your west has been re-won
Will you be the one to run
But I’ll still spin in the ground with you
I’ll spit at the howling moon
Still sit in the fire with you
Yeah I’ll still spin in the ground with you
Still omit the grand review
Just want you for myself
Take you in for myself
Keep you all to myself
But I’ll still spin in the ground with you
I’ll spit at the howling moon
Still sit in the fire with you
Yeah I’ll still spin in the ground with you
Still omit the grand review
