closer [aemyn & ange] 03:21
lyrics

Come in, it’s the morning, let the dark fall away Closer, hold me closer, till the nightmare can fade And when the dawn comes to rise, when the silence is gone And I’m not sure why I’ve been away Just hold me, with the morning Watch the night turn to day Closer, honey, closer We can colour the grey Come out from the morning, let the sun paint your face Closer, keep me closer, keep my eyes in your gaze And when he sun comes to shine, when the world is alive Well I’m not quite sure why I’ve been away Just hold me, in the sunshine Watch the clouds taking shape Closer (honey, closer) honey, closer We can colour the grey Hold me from the morning, till the moon joins the stars [Aemyn: this parts not written yet] To something we try It’s not that I try, I cannot lie, must be something I’m trying to find We can shine, we can shine, till the last light of day slips us by By and by, by and by Just hold me, in the sunshine Watch the clouds taking shape Closer, honey, closer We can colour the grey [Aemyn and Ange laugh gently]

I don’t know what quite what to say We all need to get away But I I couldn’t bear to leave this place One look and I am gone, butterfly to the flames One glance and I am out, like June is gay Playing games don’t make bank, baby But maybe I just love to play I don’t know what quite what to say We all need to get away But I I couldn’t bear to leave this place One look and I am lost in the limelight Time flies by locked in a smile, like It’s easy to stay down And hurts so much to shine bright I’ve been wondering about these wonderful amounts And colours and sounds of a life I’ve been wandering around, running myself down But never giving up the fight I’ve been looking away, hiding my face Trying to escape your gaze Not weak to smile damage But damn, maybe today And I I don’t know what quite what to say We all need to get away But I I couldn’t bear to leave this place

I never used to sing alone to myself, your melody got stuck inside of my head And now I can’t stop, I can’t stop, I can’t stop these notes come stumbling in I don’t know what I’m singing But I don’t think it matters anymore Because I found my favourite notes And I never used to think of much of myself until you said I was stuck in your head And now I’m not sure, I’m not sure, because I trust you and know that you meant what you said I don’t know what I’m singing But I don’t think it matters anymore Because I found your favourite notes And I know you as much as you do And you’re a key I can reach Harmonising in and out of tune Singing alone with you All by myself (singing alone with you) Singing alone (singing alone) I want you and want you to know I’ll never, I’ll never let you let go Of that impossible soul I need you and need you to know I’ll never, ever, keep you from wherever that you need to go Because we will always be close And I don’t know what I’m singing But I don’t think it matters anymore Because I found your favourite notes And I know you as much as you do And you’re a key we can reach Harmonising in and out of tune Singing alone with you All by myself (singing alone with you) Singing alone with you All by myself I can’t stop, I can’t stop, I can’t stop, I can’t stop (I can’t) I can’t stop, I can’t stop, I can’t stop, I can’t stop Singing and singing and singing and singing alone with you Singing alone with you All by myself Ooh I don’t know, I don’t know And I don’t know, I don’t know what I’m singing But I don’t think it matters anymore

Hello, I am reaching out to you through the cracks in the chitin that you grew How was your day, how was your week, are you raised up or just getting through? “hey!” comes a message from the grey, through the fog of the day, that we all taste “I am well, I am doing great” well, honestly, I’m about to break but maybe that’s okay Cause we all know the pain, just hide it away Tucked inside a jacket pocket, held tight Just in case you do too Hello, I am reaching out to you through a yellow ghost that eats my words for me Are you doing well, are you floating in the sea, are your sails carrying you through a thousand cups of tea? “HEY!” a message from a friend, let’s see what they have to say It’s a bad photograph of a smiling face and large letters that read “keep it up you are doing great” “keep it up you are doing great” Keep it up you are doing great! Cause we all know the pain, just hide it away Tucked inside a jacket pocket, held tight Just in case you do too Cause we all know the pain, just hide it away Tucked inside a jacket pocket, held tight Just in case you do too Cause we all know the pain, just hide it away Tucked inside a jacket pocket, held tight Just in case you do too Cause we all know the pain, just hide it away Tucked inside a jacket pocket, held tight Just in case you do too

Never knew whether the weather would change Just sat by the river watching boats wash away As all of my friends got older and changed I stayed by the river afraid Never knew which way the wind, it would blow Just in the sand on the shoreline below As all of my friends grew their wings, and they leapt off of clifftops I worked on my boat Never knew those melodies in songs they would sing I’d keep my voice low and pretend that I did As all of them smiled and sang so in tune I hurt myself trying to grin Never knew which words were passwords and keys Smiles and frowns were bad riddles to me As all of the formed their bonds and their trust I was one year behind still sailing the sea Sailing the sea Never knew whether the weather would change Just sat by the river watching boats wash away As all of my friends got older and changed I stayed by the river afraid

The sun is rising up the way I never thought I’d see the day The moon is crumbling but that’s okay I never thought I’d see the day The sea is crumbling beyond the shore Can’t quite tell what I’m hoping for Dive outta nothing and into more But I cant quite tell what I’m hoping for Somehow, maybe now I’ll find the words to say Never thought I’d see the day (Aemyn and Ange laughing) (Ange: I keep forgetting what that last part is) The sleeping slip has begun to fray I never thought I’d see the day The pious hunter stops stalking prey I never thought I’d see the day Spent too much time writing all the lore Can’t quite tell what I’m hoping for So I’ll live my life being so unsure Cause I can’t quite tell what I’m hoping for Somehow, maybe now I’ll find the words to say Never thought I’d see the day [Ange: I think we need to do that again or something] [Aemyn: This is just wrong, I’ll fix it another time]

Time had tried to take away my love Now there’s nothing more to rise above Did this cover really matter in the end? Because it’s you and me babe At the end of everything Run and tell all of the angels To hell with this, I’m falling down, down, down Into the fire I tried to hide away my heart Now there’s no use getting torn apart By people that would never try to understand But I’ve never felt hotter flames Than when you say my name And this might take all night, but to hell with time I’m stepping in again Into the fire Throw me underwater and watch me burn Hotter than hell Colder than heaven since I fell for you so hard And it’s a long way to the end of the world Time had tried to take away my love Now there’s nothing more to rise above Did this cover really matter in the end? Cause I’m stepping in again Into the fire Hold me underwater and watch me burn Hotter than hell Colder than heaven since I fell for you so hard And it’s a long way to the end of the world Two, three, four

(Aemyn: Headphones on, scrolling Facebook or something, this is how we get by) Home is where the heart lets its heart down Exposing those parts to the open air At minimum, a place you can keep the bad out Most days those walls feel like they were never there Home is where the dark eats its heart out Where diapposed needs arc up sparks when the high’s down That disconnect between intention and tension The misaligned narratives of combat and contention I don’t what you’re feeling and I don’t know what you need Maybe you’re dealing with similar things to me Let me lift you up, let me help you breathe Carry that weight, I’ll take as much as I can receive We all need a brief moment of catharsis Flight mode-minded thinking about you hardships Let me lift you up, let me help you breathe We all mess up the things we think we need When unexpected noise turns to tears in a millisecond This is where we innovate the concept of being present I could scroll this feed to the bottom and then back again Burn a couple hours catching up on every friend of friend I could spend a whole hour nearly done in a minute Think about that loop for a second when you’re trapped in it You could bake a cake or clear the stuff of your bed Diving to the bottom of infinite things already read Seek distraction from chaos and distraction, or When the silence makes every single word taxing Egg shells littering a glass house of fractured factions Every action has an equal opposite reaction These contraptions we partake to parlay That past pain to new hearts who know the strain of heartbreak Blurry faces reminisce on dark days Houses that weren’t home in ways that can’t be explained I don’t what you’re feeling and I don’t know what you need Maybe you’re dealing with similar things to me Let me lift you up, let me help you breathe Carry that weight, I’ll take as much as I can receive We all need a brief moment of catharsis Flight mode-minded thinking about you hardships Let me lift you up, let me help you breathe We all mess up the things we think we need

Here I am just trying to make the stone bleed In a city full of broken hearts and atrophy When I sit and venerate on a sense of having made Pieces of the puzzle that I know for sure I’ll do one day Sentimentalising parts of half-glazed, half-baked Bits and bobs compile all the things I say I’ll make I write my rhymes in a haste, squirrelled away Behind a smiling face that you might see day to day Panamax dosing this headache away Don’t want an official mark on my name that I never sought help for the pain When mental health surfaces as physical traits Fizzing Berocca into water, the placebo is great Till it’s late, and I break, and I take another moment to redefine What I see inside this self-aware mind of mine So I open up some old notes and forgotten songs Match up the rhythm and find a good part to sing along And harmonise with last years heartbeat Sending love to my past self so I can spend last week laughing I wanna spend this week by the waterside I wanna spend next week opening hearts and healing minds Money’s fine but time is worth your life Energy is worth nothing without time to be alive It gets difficult funneling these thoughts through a pipe Carefully twisting joints hoping that the moment is right And the sense of accomplishment flows into the night Deep dive into the well of obsession and drive Depression and loss, when your perception is off And four hours turns into thirty guilty days you log off And sit back, and relax, and just chat, and distract, From the tracks that you stack up on top of your charts When you’re back and in fact What you thought was a pile of crap is the cream of your crop Defeating the feeling of pushing a rock up a hill Still you feed on that feeling of feeding your ill Willing yourself to pick it all up Maybe one day we can file this under just another mistake But today this it, till the dark turns to day This beat is the shit and I’ve got too much to say Hey, listen Money’s fine but time is worth your life Energy is worth nothing without time to be alive

No rhyme or rhythm, something lost in transmission We only get what we’re given, you only get so far stretching limits But remember this is random, at the very same time this world is neither empty or full of chances This tape is either blank or I’m hearing voices in magnetic ribbon There’s no knowing in the cosmic dance what life you’ll be living You only get so far stretching limits At a certain point you have to accept that there is simply no method There is actually no order despite how many sell it A lot got lost to the final draft, the narrator got lost to the human condition You can’t trust the patterns in the noise but tell me it isn’t convincing We all want the pieces to fit perfectly Ignoring that each jigsaw came from it’s set So we look for patterns in the dark hoping that they fit And try to find a way to make them click And try to make them click And try to make them click No rhyme or rhythm, something lost in transmission We only get what we’re given, you only get so far stretching limits But remember this is random, at the very same time this world is neither empty or full of chances This tape is either blank or I’m hearing voices in magnetic ribbon There’s no knowing in this cosmetiic dance what life you’ll be living You only get so far stretching limits At a certain point you have to accept that there is simply no method There is actually no order despite how many sell it A lot got lost to the final draft, the narrator got lost to the human condition You can’t trust the patterns in the noise but tell me it isn’t convincing

Soft love under warm streets lights, lates night (Aemyn stumbles the first line, laughing) Two tired kings, side by side You know, this city looks so pretty when it’s sleeping So we steal tomorrows energy and sneak all through the evening For a $2 coffee slip across an empty road to our local Coles Express because we’re actually pretty broke And life never afforded us much vertical motion So we learn to seek affordable potions Little by little rob the city of its energy Two together, you know we’re a symphony (unintelligible) It’s the simple things that play the beat under the melody Too much smoke obscures the stars (it’s hard to see) It’s hard to see just where we are Caffeine acquired so wander down some back streets Looking at all the empty businesses and factories This city looks so gritty when you step behind the curtain To see the big machines that keep the coal burning Walking together, got some donuts and some patience Stop a while watching trains leaving the station Nights like this I’m wondering where we’re going and why we’re waiting Constantly torn between needing a plan and wanting to wander aimless Too much smoke obscures the stars It’s hard to see just where we are Too much smoke obscures the stars It’s hard to see just where we are Yeah Little by little rob the city of its energy Two together, you know that we’re a symphony It’s all of this (unintelligible) It’s the simple things, the beat under the melody, yeah Too much smoke obscures the stars It’s hard to see just where we are Too much smoke obscures the stars It’s hard to see just where we are

Find the driest thinnest kindling you can And stack it all with careful caring hands Like tiny acts of kindness every day, you’ll fuel the spark that lights the flameTtill it burns again Place a couple bigger pieces just above the glow And watch it slowly grow Like being there for the ones you love when that very flame burns them up To tell them that you know It’s not hard to make a fire grow, but it takes a lot to tame the spark Usually these brighter days burn up those wooden spoons you carve It’s hard to fight the dark and win (it’s hard) Lighting those candles in the wind

Hold back the river You can’t hold back the river Don’t you hold back the river from the flood Ooh Ooh May the road rise up to meet your tired feet on solid ground And the shaking of your hands be stilled by the love that you have found May the wind that lifts your wings remain always at your back And the shuffling your feet be stilled by the whiskey in your pack But you can’t Hold back the river Don’t you hold back the river You can’t hold back the river from the flood Ooh Ooh May the sun part the bellows of the sunset warm and strong And these stories of the past echo an unforgotten song May the rain fall soft upon the rolling fields that you call home And while Winter Avenue has its Valentine, the people sing along But you can’t Hold back the river Don’t you hold back the river You can’t hold back the river from the flood Ooh Ooh Oh Until we meet again Until we meet again You can’t hold back the river Don’t you hold back the river You can’t hold back the river from the flood Ooh Ooh Hold back the river Don’t you hold back the river You can’t hold back the river from the flood Ooh Ooh

blank tape 03:39

I get my colours from a blank tape We all get only what we give away I’ll be laughing about the past when I am old and grey We’ve all locked some years away afraid of a little change Watch the unstoppable world through that small window The natural order and discordance always seemed fickle I’ve been seeking out a better place to quell my doubts about Stationary bouts of apathy surrounding every issue Every generation loses charm in the sequel Live long enough to become the enemy of your own people That’s a fallacy I’ve never understood, a fantasy Where nothing changes, no one grows, and anything was ever simple Listen to the chorus of the people say The same thing that we said yesterday Been here since the early days But so much has been erased I get my colours from a blank tape We all get only what we give away Took a long time to finally find my way Took a lot of staring at a blank slate I get my colours from a blank tape We all get only what we give away I’ll be laughing about the past when I am old and grey We’ve all locked some years away afraid of a little change Watch the loudest in the room spread their message From that comfy perch of idle disconnection You’ll be front row and centre as each side picks their weapons never stepping in Thinking you’ll see the third act from the second Every generation tries to just rewrite the prequel Severing ties to a history of undeniable evil Hate’s hidden in humour, do a favour for the unequal Unravel your ignorance and spend some time with the people Listen to the chorus of the people say The same thing that we said yesterday Been here since the early days But so much has been erased I get my colours from a blank tape We all get only what we give away Took a lot to finally find my way Took a lot of staring at a blank slate I get my colours from a blank tape We all get only what we give away I’ll be laughing about the past when I am old and grey We’ve all locked some years away afraid of a little change I get my colours from a blank tape We all get only what we give away Took a lot to finally find my way Took a lot of staring at a blank slate I get my colours from a blank tape We all get only what we give away I’ll be laughing about the past when I am old and grey We’ve all locked some years away afraid of a little change

What I changed my mind? (You do that all the time) What I fucked everything up? What I change my heart? (You know you are my heart) What I go against everything we thought from the start? Well I’ll be by your side Through anything Even if you don’t know I’m there Because I know if it was me You’d go, you’d go You’d go fucking anywhere What if I messed up bad? (You do that all the time) What if I need to run? (You know I’ll pack a bag) What if I change my face? (I wouldn’t have you any other way than whatever feels okay) What if I need to leave (Just leave a letter please) What if we can’t come back from all this harm? What I disappear? (I’d go fucking anywhere, to search until you’re back in my arms) Well I’ll be by your side Through anything Even if you don’t know I’m there Because I know if it was me You’d go, you’d go You’d go fucking anywhere

The hands that built this place Used to brush so firm against the grain Today the oak has lost a friend But in his wake A promise, he made us make To carry his heart beyond the end Lay me down where the forest meets its edge Bury me somewhere you won't forget Find a home for all the dogs and their friends The man that laid these stones Sleeps beneath his favourite hill Yesterday we married him to his peace And out of where he lays Flowers grow and bloom so bright these days Some say his laugh still echoes on the breeze Lay me down where the forest meets its edge Bury me somewhere you won't forget Find a home for all the dogs and their friends And those who outlived his age Stand strong enough in his wake Choosing joy in times of misery and pain To lay down his bones Near the flowing river by his humble home The water that his spirit now rushes in Lay me down where the forest meets its edge Cherish all the time that you have left Swallow down your pride and your regrets I'll see you on the other side of the fence Bury me somewhere you won't forget To rest your aching feet and tired hands Visit whenever things aren't making sense Oh, and Find a home for all the dogs and their friends

Dark eyes stare us down, there is no more hiding now No port, not cave, no dock, no reef, no bay And if you are still with me, I will sail us through the fray And try to keep the Hunger far away Black skies surround our ship, there is no more running from this No path, no route, no map, no way And if you are still with me I will sail us through the fray And try to keep the Hunger far away Davenport, Davenport, Davenport I see a thousand eyes staring at us portside Davenport, Davenport, Davenport I see a cloud of hate fogging up the night Pitch black tendrils looms, walls that weave our certain doom To be swallowed by a manifest of hate And if you are still with me I will sail us through the fray And punch a fucking hole in the Hunger and the pain And try as best I can To against all odds protect my friends And if you are still with me, by my side We’ll draft a plan To keep the Hunger far away again And try to keep the Hunger far away Davenport, Davenport, Davenport Davenport Davenport, Davenport, Davenport Davenport, Davenport

critical miss 02:30
lyrics

This is the story of three brave adventurers they meet in a tavern one stormy night after seeing a flyer and deciding the risk might just be worth the reward. They bond over drinks and form a team. They call themselves The Salty Three or some shit, doesn’t really matter So they follow a map to a cave where the treasure is, but first they need to solve the DM’s puzzle shit. Past skeletons and chains, they get led astray but make some friends somehow along the war Eventually they find themselves in a final room where a dragon lays sleeping quietly on gold doubloons and the rogue tells everyone she has a plan and tries to creep past the beast and sneak up on it Shit! Fuck! Ah! No! It’s a critical miss! Got some cursed dice there, friend

We’ve known each other for so many years now Haven’t spoken since the day you kicked me out Oh no But I’ve been okay, enjoying some time on the couch Seperated out belongings but there’s still that one thing You know we should work out Who gets the horse When two lovers part And go two seperate paths With no remorse Who gets the horse? I’d like the horse If we can work together maybe we can work this out But we were never ones to let a flame die down Oh no Make no mistake don’t wanna get together now But for the old girls sake, we could have a drink in town And work it out Who gets the horse When lovers part And go their seperate paths With no remorse Who gets the horse? I’d like the horse Who gets the horse? Please return my calls

[Ezra and Aemyn] So share a sweet moment with me As we make new sweet memories Under the stars Watch as the moon fades into blue And the sun rises And the sun rises in the sky So share a sweet moment with me As we make new sweet memories Under the stars Watch as the moon fades into blue And the sun rises And the sun rises in the sky

(I don’t know) I’ve never been satisfied What if mountain comes to break What if this love turns to pain? (We are all the sum of our mistakes) What if I cannot bear the weight Of the ribbon and the flame?
