Intro 03:30
2.
Feel It All 05:19
VERSE 1 It’s alright My sweet one You will recover What you’ve lost These dark days Pass you by I’ll stay here Right by your side VERSE 2 When you touch the ground You’ll feel it all You did this to yourself My sweet one A thousand miles above When you were so high We all need a parachute BRIDGE When we fly Then we fall down So high Feeling small We climb Up the walls now It’s alright Feel it all
3.
Isolate 03:32
VERSE A You know that we’re inclined to isolate Always seem to look the other way Said I didn’t know that you were here all along Caught up in a place of disconnect Looking for a reason to deflect Everything I know is changing now you’re gone VERSE B Now you’re gonna say that it’s my fault But I never felt like this before And I’m in denial that I’ve done anything wrong Never thought that I would see the end But I’m getting sick of trying to pretend That I didn’t know that you were here all along CHORUS Burn higher Nothing left to withdraw Fuel to the fire, uhhhh All the signs we ignore No surprise It’s getting harder to see I’ve realised, uhhhh Nothing’s how it used to be OUTRO Now you’re gonna say that it’s my fault But I never felt like this before It’s becoming harder to resist Are we gonna let it end like this
4.
With U 04:22
VERSE 1Make my way Towards your place When no-one else was home Let myself in Wait for you to come I’ve thought this through I should never feel the way You make me feel about you In a room of one’s own I can’t be alone But I can’t be with you Can’t be with you x3 VERSE 2 It was never my plan To draw you in and keep you From a world that’s passing by Run away Then come running back Can’t make up my mind Is it better to let you go When all you ever seem to do Is climb back up the rope It’s enough To have you around To have someone at all Not enough I can’t be alone I’ll make you fall x3 I’ll make you CHORUS And you fell so far Now you can’t get out Remember when we said we would be open Stretching limbs to reach the top But we fucked up The walls have closed in And we’re stuck Said we would be open Stretching limbs to reach the top But we fucked up The walls have closed in And we’re stuck (I’ll make you, never alone)
5.
VERSE 1 When you’re entering a room My restless body Becomes consumed By your energy A scarlet light It’s painfully bright, I suffer A loss of sight And it’s flickering in time Then it’s gone VERSE 2 Find a fracture of silence Hear the whisper in the wind And it feels kinda nice to stay quiet The tender touch trickling across my skin Elevated sensation A warped perception of time But it’s fine when it’s only recreation At least in my mind A warped perception of time But it’s fine when it’s only recreation At least in my mind CHORUS Scarlet light And it’s flickering in time It’s painfully bright A sensation I just can’t describe Scarlet light And it’s flickering in time It’s painfully bright Still I feel it might be on my side
6.
Overflow 06:12
VERSE 1 About to overflow Like we've forgotten how to swim I could be alone The solitude is comforting And I know Tiles tesselate with every stroke I take Now my hands are turning blue Resisting every move You make PRE-CHORUS But we're spilling over the edge And I'm feeling out of my depth CHORUS Deep inside This shallow State of mind VERSE 2 You try to hide beneath Although nothing can compare To the relief of Filling lungs back up with air PRE-CHORUS But we're spilling over the edge And I'm feeling out of my depth CHORUS Deep inside This shallow State of mind OUTRO But it's clear we've fallen deep inside All this shallow water occupied By a hollow place, a state of mind That nobody wants to leave behind
7.
Stay 04:01
VERSE 1 I don’t want you to go But you won’t stay with me x4 VERSE 2 Thought you might feel inside Your bones like you’re drawn to me It’s funny how we always go looking In empty places for company When you leave me it’s like You’re stealing a part of me Cos out of everybody I want you the most But you don’t wanna stay with me BRIDGE Though we’ll always stay the same These decisions never change You’re the only one I ever think about And I hope that I’m the one you think about CHORUS I don’t want you to go But you won’t stay with me OUTRO Now that your decision’s made Seems a waste to wait for change You’re the only one I ever think about But I don’t think I’m the one you think about
8.
Crescent 03:57
VERSE 1 Super moon Is it moving closer Or is it an illusion Give into The gravitational pull Is it crescent Or is it full VERSE 2 Super moon Emerging from the mist You resist its presence, don’t you Now I’m so confused By the constant push and the pull Are we crescent only Or are we full BRIDGE Circles shifting Out of place with Echoes glistening Across the bay It’s disconcerting We create this Constant hurting And feel no shame BREAKDOWN Are we crescent only x 4 VERSE 3 Super moon It’s hard to feel But it’s real And we’ve got hope still But I’m still confused By the constant push and the pull Are we crescent only Or are we full
9.
CHORUS A I can’t be without you again Melting as the ice is getting thin Frozen as you glide your fingertips In between the curve of my lips VERSE Now I’m telling you You’re not making sense There’s no excuse Yeah you make me wanna forget (I don’t even know if I’ll forget x2) Let the liquid wash down the drain What did you want me to say When you came to me with your problems You were acting so upset (I don’t even know if I’ll forget x2) And I tried to listen But to be completely honest I don’t want nothing to do with them CHORUS B I can’t be without you again Truth is that I’m terrified to forget (I don’t even know if I’ll forget x2) No I can’t be without you again How could I forget about you again (I don’t even know if I’ll forget x2)

about

OVERFLOW. A vessel. Strength, structure. Spilling over the edge. Out of our depth. Fragility, fluctuation. A deeper connection. Ugly, contradictory human-ness. Senseless fear. Desire and self-destruction. Water as the unattainable. Repetition of movement. A vessel of solitude. Contain, suppress. Expel, release. Release. Overflow.
