Tether 03:52
One look set fire to my heart One touch I'm captive from the start I went looking for impossible things And the were all in your head I follow no reason to it all My desire kicks in like a drug I gave you what I wanted in return And it was all in my head Your afflictions lead me astray Pulse triggers that give you away Slip tether and leave me no trail Like it was all in your head and all in my head Blanket me with wings unfurled Distance me from the passive world Bird of prey swoops down to take her prize Breath on fire like the desert air In this dream we're both ensnared Patience, let the hunter take his time Chase me then I'll follow you Touch in place like lovers due

Silhouette (free) 02:53
We were kissed by an alien sun Witness to the vision it made We caught a glimpse of a silhouette run Cast into the light, only its shadow still played We are strangers dancing on a foreign shore Speak desire, you know we're searching for it all Look to the lights out in the endless sky Open your wings and fly We saw a figure disappear into the trees So we followed the trail on the forest floor Heard a voice come floating on the breeze What's this life if not something to explore? We are strangers dancing on a foreign shore Speak desire, you know we're searching for it all Look to the lights out in the endless sky Open your wings and fly

Siren 03:25
Sun rise in a golden sky Life to you ain't worth the writing Three words just to leave me behind You can't smell the smoke, till you hear the siren You burn this house down, take no prisoners The only thing thing that I want is to have you here in it As it all goes up Sun rise in a burning sky This to you is just deciding I should have know, should have left you alone But you don't taste the fuel till the match has been thrown You burn this house down, take no prisoners The only thing thing that I want is to have you here in it As it all goes up Cauterize the wound Heady like a heat drenched afternoon Nothing new under the sun But I never saw it coming You burn this house down, take no prisoners The only thing thing that I want is to have you here in it As it all goes up

I’m not looking for the fairytale end But is my life is worth enough to defend it? I won’t dwell on the pieces you hide Oh it doesn’t matter that your smile’s your disguise I looked beneath my feelings for fear And found the confusion of desire and despair And when you retreat behind the cage round your heart I’m still happy to hold onto the part you gave away to me But you refuse the invitation Immune to the invocations I made at your side Oh you conquer me and divide my mind The room was at swim like the threads had been torn At first I was free as a child newborn I caught the look carved into your face And now I’m dreaming of a fatal embrace I woke up in the harem of king Guilty pleasures then the executioners ring You spoke to me though the lines had been forced The curtains fell but I made no recourse to escape You indulge me as your fascination Then refuse my inclinations as I chase my demise You conquer me and divide my mind What have I become? Trying to shake the stars out of my head What have I begun, what part's come undone? As I shake the stars out You indulge me as a fascination You lead me ever onwards then you cast me aside Oh you conquer me and divide my mind I drown in your interpretation You refuse my invitation to succumb to mine Oh you conquer me and divide my mind

I cling to my youth, wisdom and age holds no candle for me Not ration nor truth against blissful ignorance There is happiness found in my carelessness and on selfish grounds No shackles are on my life I’m lying here on my island, staring up into my eyelids No cares in the world, with nothing to hope for Another day on my island, watching my life declining The ship comes in, to take me away I would walk out of here, abandoning all the familiar faces The ties that bind me to this place If I could wrap myself up in the arms of sleep Burn off the months it would take me to keep the wolves at bay I would torch my memory I’m lying here on my island, staring up into my eyelids No cares in the world, with nothing to hope for But another day on my island watching my life decline Till the ship comes in to take me away A castaway, alone on this isle Ship comes in - take me away The freedom to live in aching denial Ship comes in - take me away Empire of love, a throne in the wild Ship comes in - take me away Smoke signal lifts up an empty horizon
