Empty Space 03:28
Trying to find the right sound That could make sense of our time in this place When you sang you could feel it close In buildings made out of stones and ghosts You told me just to keep this a secret A word that turns into dust when you speak it You write about a spirit in your stories That came down to tell another story But we build our cities higher than the heavens And tell the world to watch what happens We break into cracks all the smooth surfaces And make sense of our time in this place To fill up the empty space between the light and your face To fill up the empty space between the light and your face To fill up the empty space between the light and your face I found a love but I try to deny it When buildings made of stone crumble in the quiet I found a book that was only ever stolen With words that turned into wars when you told them And now we think we cam laugh at the image But its hard not to think that there's something That fills all the spaces between us And points us towards the good things

Water Wine 03:34
I was a miner I carried a load out I was good man I let the light in You took a long time Up on the mountain I didn’t know where I was getting scared You called the bread stone You called the water wine I had it kind of but I’ll tell it to you now Watching the guru Crossing the line I didn’t mind I was pretending To walk on the ocean Just for a second I was in the waves Drawing your lines Around your eyelids I gave you the sunset You didn’t get it You called the bread stone You called the water wine I had it kind of but I’ll tell it to you now Watching the guru Crossing the line I didn’t mind You took a long time Up on the mountain

Shake me now until I fall Taken the body now take it all It’s not a heart that I won’t give It’s just the way you said I did Don’t you know it’s only cause you can’t Don’t you know it’s only cause you can’t You want to love her like you love yourself Stones cry out of the air Mirror the shower of melted stone You breathe like someone’s words Sing it loud like a beating drum Don’t you know it’s only cause you can’t Don’t you know it’s only cause you can’t You want to love her like you love yourself It’s not a heart that I won’t give It’s just the way you said I did

In my distress I called, you answered From the bottom of my grave I called out You hurled me into the sea, into the deep The very heart of sea The currents took me the waves splashed over me You said I’ve been banished from your eyes I have been banished from your eyes And the waters threatened me The deep surrounds me To root of the mountains I sink down To the root of the mountains I sink down Blame it on the lies were given But I keep bringing them home Blame it on the life worth living That I keep waiting for Blame it on the lies were given But I keep bringing them home And my life is fading Fading

Your Name 03:29
When I first heard your name I was young and wandering Through the noisy rhyming scheme My mind was beginning My pictures were sure That I drew in the carpet The silent times when the dead were moving on Now I wrote you name down on the stone And held it high above your throne I could never lay it down And I wrote your name with heaven’s pen And gave it to the minds of men They could talk it They could talk it loud Now I write your name down on a river I write you name down on the ocean Where your ashes were poured Where my dreaming had run from me I write your name down on the river I write your name down on the sea Where Jesus walked Where my sins washed away In your heart In your heart Some say you’ve got to find your answers here Some say you’ve got to find your answers clear

Turn me on with remote control I’ll be yours for the taking Yours for your own You can switch me off Break my bones You can poke my eyes Tell me lies Find me deep in a hole Or turned into dust in time Or fallen behind I'll walk like the lame And talk like the wrong I'll wait for the garden or wait for the fall And when you’re thinking back Will you know what you saw in the light? Was it a ghost or a knife? Wandering Searching for gold Or a home When the treasure is out in the sea of storms Well you float on waves And sail to the sun But your sleep gets scared Night has come And when you’re thinking back Will you know what you saw in the light? Was it a ghost or a knife You were holding to? And when you’re thinking back Will you know what you saw in the light Was it a ghost a knife?

Up all night with bloodshot eyes To the colour of epileptic lights My family's in the living room Frozen like the statues on our lawn Pushing all my body out the middle of a TV screen Cut the umbilical cord float down the image stream Now my thought is remote control You can turn me off or turn me on My mother told me not to stare But sometimes it just feels like I’m in there Pushing all my body out the middle of a TV screen Cut the umbilical cord float down the image stream Now my mine….. All of my shows I’m a star in my home I drive their cars in my mind Bless their hearts Pushing all my body out the middle of a TV screen Cut the umbilical cord fall down the industry

Horses 03:07
I’m gonna wait ‘till judgment day You say ice and I say up in flames I’m gonna march around this town Seven time with seven trumpet sounds When the final trumpet blows his horn Call on the Lord to come and take me home Black, red, white and blue Horses on the clouds are charging through Whiter rider wheres a crown Red makes war and black dries up the ground When the pale blue rider draws his sword You can’t stop the coming of the Lord I’m gonna wait ‘till judgment day You say ice and I say up in flames I’m gonna march around this town Seven time with seven trumpet sounds When the final trumpet blows his horn Call on the Lord to come and take me home Black, red, white and blue Horses on the clouds are charging through Black, red, white and blue Hold your breathe the end is coming soon All the nations at each others throats You can’t fight the coming of the Lord I’m gonna wait ‘till judgment day You say ice and I say up in flames I’m gonna march around this town Seven time with seven trumpet sounds When the final trumpet blows his horn Call on the Lord to come and take me home

Mountain Man 04:36
It’s time to let go of all those things you said It’s time to feel all of your wounds You’ll be going now into the valley When the mountain man, he lets you down You say you don’t believe in But I hear you praying at night Like strings are tied to your hanging hide While the mountain man, he lets you down Now you’re climbing high and looking low And the more you see, the further you’ll go And the only reason you’ll ever slow Is when the mountain man, he let’s you down You can talk to a couple of memories Or pardon your soul to a sailor And you will hear him yell at the gates of hell When the mountain man, he lets you down Now you’re climbing high and looking low And the more you see, the further you’ll go And the only reason you’ll ever slow Is when the mountain man, he let’s you down
