Angel Egg 05:16
Angel Egg I found you in the lagoon Made a wish Laid under the milky moons By my side A perfect oval cocoon Hold you tight The curves of me cradle you Hauled you right out of the water or did I fall in? Suddenly motherly, I'll take you under my wing There goes my heart, out of her cage again Angel Egg I hide you under my dress Take you home But there's still so far to go Paradise A presence burning inside me Stealing you over the border my heart in my throat Just like the box of Pandora I'm dying to know Finally mine, I'll give you everything Angel Egg Angel Egg

Waiting Game 04:02
I’m red in the eyes, but I will not sleep tonight The owl has been pining, picture old friends slipping back in my life I stare at the ceiling, I see only bars Whatever the destination I'm counting the seconds, until I can step out again I’m losing all track of time Stay or leave, come or go The suspense is killing me I’m impatiently playing the waiting game Whatever I try, there's no rushing that river to the sea But this low-on-time feeling keeps hanging about, muttering to me If you don't hurry, the arks gonna leave No matter the destination I’m counting the seconds, 'til I can see green again I’m losing all track of time Stay or leave, come or go Curiosity's killing me I’m impatiently playing the waiting game No matter the destination I’m counting the seconds, 'til I can see hills again I’m losing all track of time Stay or leave, come or go The suspense is killing me I’m impatiently playing the waiting game

Are you, like me, an extra-sentient terrestrial? Are you, like me, super-impatient and sentimental? I’ve got centuries of solitude behind me Empathy in plenitude if you need May the sacrificial dance begin again Through I’m growing tired of all this giving, never getting back How my little heart is racing, tell me, when you gonna hatch? Open up to me Let your secrets free I’m all ears And ready to feel something Now that I found you I’ll never let you sneak out of my sight I tiptoe around you Soon as you’re ready just give me a sign We’ll ride downtown with you on the bars of my bike They can all go ahead and laugh if they like Showing joy as an act of pure rebellion Forever going round in circles, waiting for a sign of life Maybe you’re not coming out, it’s me who’s gotta look inside Open up to me Let your secrets free I’m all ears Waiting to feel something

Dear cabin fever Locked up in this old house of mirrors No door to leave here Been serving this sentence for years This song keeps repeating Starts sweet enough but soon sours up And it plays, over and over, always the same Every line memorised Know all these lyrics off by heart Walked these halls a thousand times There's just no way to shake the past This spell I'm under Frames me like a ghost at the window Stuck here I wander By haunting a past only I know Stand barefoot on the staircase Drift up or down in my nighting gown Its the same thing, there's no escaping the spirals of the mind Every line memorised Know all these lyrics off by heart Paced these tiles a thousand times There's just no way to shake the past Locked up in this old house of mirrors Been serving this sentence for years

It's only in my sleep that I'm still close to you I never could have dreamed that I'd be losing you Stubbornness makes you still believe That the arms of the tree can grow back once their gone While we're just hanging on The howling I can't help it, wholly dedicated to you How naive am I for having high hopes in you Dont go trying to tell me everything is fine With nothing kind to say nothing gets said at all We're skating round the silence its uncomfortable When only fights can break the ice We're just crying out for highs So spit out what is wrong or this'll just linger on Our honeymoon forget it, turn away and say you're tired Pet me on the forehead like a father to child You're still trying to tell me that everything is fine? Deny all invitation, oh the things I'd do for conversation Talking to the shadows seeing as we share the shade Please stop trying to tell me everything is fine There is nothing left for us to break in this apartment There is not a word that I have screamed that I have not meant sincerely Don't know how much longer I can stay locked up here with you But go on, tell me everything is fine Everything is fine

Tearshedder 04:45
Nothing here to see, Move along, continue, as you were It's just a tearshedder Sorry, don't mind me Cut and run if you prefer laughter I’m just a tearshedder Part of the furniture, don't take a seat My bodies reacting, a yawn or a sneeze Would be better But I'm just a tearshedder I can really make it rain, when I'm happy or in pain Do I still need to explain why I'm crying again Tearshedder You want empathy? Look no further I am a connoisseur I mean, a teashedder Wet intensity Go on, take a dip on me, I'm salt water Yeah I'm a tearshedder Call me a moodkiller, down in the dumps, Sooner you get it Sooner you'll learn to shake and stir Stir up the tearshedder I can really make it rain, when I'm happy or in pain Do I still need to explain why I'm crying again Tearshedder I can really make it rain, when I'm bitter or in pain Do I still need to explain why I'm crying again Tearshedder

The distant bells are tolling Our castle walls are crumbling I’m sudden left here wondering What kind of person I've been Maybe its better this way Too much, too little, too late Should we just call it a day, It's better this way Upon the velvet aching I let the silence sink in The form of you is fading A mess of my own making Maybe its better this way Too much, too little, too late Should we just call it a day, Should we just call it a day, It's better this way Take off into the night sky Wind carry me ever higher Our spirits slowly unwind I'll see you in the next life It's just one more night on earth

The Garden 04:06
You go your way and I’ll go mine Tread out under Aleppo pines Where paths are overgrown That’s where I feel at home Down underneath the wishing tree Curl up where you once sat and sleep Let wild grass grow over me I’ll be a statue of stone for your eyes only Take my throne under raspberry skies Everything before now is forgotten so Take a walk into the garden Don't regret the things that I’ve done The milky moons kindle the kingdom Where you once were is my reflection Back to the water where I came from
