lyrics
----------
I was found by the altar
Wearing red for a change
My brother once told me
It’s where you go to be saved
Ahh
I drank a spoon of warm water
Held my hand to the flame
Listened for footsteps
It’s what you do to stay sane
Ahh
Ribbon come tie round my finger
And help me in floating away
I forgot what I need to remember
So I’ve packed it away for today
Ahh
The pots that i’m turning are turning to ashes
The slippery surface is keeping me balanced
The stars are all moving but nobody noticed
The colours cascading inside of the darkness
I see it all
It all
Maybe i’m honey
Maybe i’m stray
It sounds kind of funny
It’s one way to play safe

What Am I To Do?

lyrics
----------
What am I to do
When the fire’s never ending
And the ember’s turning blue
What am I to do
when the house begins to crumble
And all I’ve got is glue
What am I to do
When the lying dandelion
Says it’s only half-past two
What am I to do
When they promise endless safety
If I stay inside the zoo
Only time will tell
How could we run away and join the circus?
Only time will tell
If something’s sitting underneath the surface
Oooh
What am I to do
When the sunlight plays me gentle
On a satin afternoon
What am I to do
When my breath becomes the iron spring
That leaks into the room
What am I to do
What am I to do
What am I to do
What am I to do

lyrics
----------
Wind come take me now
Before I got my own way
Bartered by the night
Three knots take me west
In the morning
Shall we find the Summerland
Beneath the quickening?
The quickening
Tired morning sun
Changing tack alone
Again
Nothing left undone
Make good my way
Oh, Atlas
Shall we find the Summerland
Beneath the quickening?
The quickening
In between the I and me

lyrics
----------
I’ve been lost in a butterfield
I’ve been seeing in blue
Making like I’ve been ready to
Head on to you
There’s a saying by the waterside
It doesn’t matter what you do
This life is just a breath of air
Like a stone, you’ll fall through
Are we late for the opening?
Has the dusk been and gone?
I’ve been so busy becoming
I forgot how to be anymore
