This morning I'm alone
I turn to you, no sight or sound
This feels strange
Like a breeze has come, blown you away
After all this time
The memories won't change
It's the thoughts that jeopardise
Getting in my way
I'll catch you where you fall
Even if it gets me higher from here
I'll be the one to get it wrong
'Cause I'm in love and love hurts sometimes
'Cause I'll be brave
I'll hold it out until the morning brings
Good or bad
I'll prepare for the worst, the news might sting
After all this time
The memories won't change
It's the thoughts that jeopardise
Getting in my way
I'll soldier on and feed all of my fears
I'll catch you where you fall
Even if it gets me higher from here
I'll be the one to get it wrong
'Cause I'm in love and love hurts sometimes
I'll catch you where you fall
Even if it gets me higher from here
I'll be the one to get it wrong
'Cause I'm in love and love hurts sometimes
Doesn't it feel like your legs have washed away
The river grows higher
I can see me drowning here
Don't rain, please don't rain down on me
Don't rain, please don't rain down on me
Don't rain, please don't rain down on me
Don't rain, please don't rain down on me
My dear
My dear
My dear
My dear

So divine
You swept me up when all my life was going to shit
Swept the slate
I got to start a future, foundation saved
Foundation saved
You're purposed, I'm hiding
You knew what you wanted while I drifted inside
To waste a day
While leaves are green and falling, the light decays
The light decays
Now you cry while I, I'm undecided
While you try I, I'm making up my mind
While I propose to tell the truth
Avoid the words that mean the most
Because I don't know what I want
I lead you round in the dark
This damn unknown hurts you the most
I'm taking blows, let's call a truce
This I know, I loved you the most
Little face, little face
You're hiding, you're hiding
Little face, little face
You're hiding, you're hiding
Little face, little face
You're hiding, you're hiding
Little face, little face
You're hiding, you're hiding
You're hiding, you're hiding

River Twin

I'm not like you, not like you
I'm not like you
Not like you, not like you
Not like you
I burnt too many hearts to count the coals yeah
I ran to cool the sting I conjured in yeah
To bless a serpent man sends light to the sorcerer
He's cornering me and all my creature friends
Inner waken, inner wake
I saw a beauty stare to rest a thorn
In absence of my twin my body shares
To comprehend will steal my soul to sea
I've started flight for River rages free
River waken, River wake
River waken, River waken
River wake, River wake
River wake, River waken
River waken, River wake, River waken
Oh River wake, River wake, River waken
River waken, River waken

Closing Up
03:38

Closing up a way here
Miles and miles of grey there
If we choose to light the load
We choose to fight the fire
Here we are now
Coast alone, forms and souls
Unloaded, got to be alone now
For got to sit and wait
I’ve got to sit and feel
oh
The truth it comes from the silence
When I rest my head
The quiet stone
Peace and abundance
Peace in a bow
Mother speak to me
Brother lead with me
But this plan is burning up
Your words are worse than stains
Lover of hope
Preacher, Preacher, teacher of love
When all the fighting
Struggle for pieces
Will I win this time, if I win my own heart
?
Win this time, if I win my own heart
?
Win my own heart
Win your own heart
And with my own heart
Open yours

Inner Love

Surely I was better than, falling for the same you
If I had to renounce my secret
I’d fear you’d run for the trip
If I had to relate to… For me
And it came to me in this dream
I’m certain for the worst in myself
Because I’m seeking for silence
I’ll never be quite there
Because I’m hanging on for this game
And so, the day and it’s gone
Could you follow?
Outside it goes away
Outside it ghosts away
She’s more than I wanted for
Cries turn preaching in my own world
You could not be better than myself locked away
I am myself
On a road, cut to stone
Lovers turn, mean the most
Here we are, caved away latched in a sickness
Freedom for alone, need me
Freedom for loan, need me
Freedom for lone, need me
Latched away
Freedom, fighting, united, divided inside
Inner love
Inner love, it’s hiding

Free Man

I loved the idea of us
I waited for months to hear you in real
It changed like the hours
You changed on your own
It wasn’t the same to be your friend
But I’ll wonder
How did we keep this secret?
And I’ll wonder
How did we be before?
One day it hurts
The change that was made in just September
We are
For a moment
Trapped in illusion, I believed in my fantasy
Trapped in the season
All-nighters to write to you
I watched the sunrise and I waited
For a message to say, "come and be with me
"
I would’ve made the change
I would’ve spent the change to run
If I had gone
Would there be... weak... have lasted?
If I had gone
Fear would be here
F***ing hungry
End this song
Eat a salad
Be my own
Goodbye

Messy Men [Explicit]
05:10

Wash it go, over me and gone
Just in passing by watching you
Would you know?
Would you know the subtle stare from only where?
And just as far away as I can feel
How do we?
Would you know
lovers forcing then
Barely even friends,
barely ever friends
How can we make love to someone else
And then turn away, and then say, "I hate your f***ing guts!"?
How do we turn away and say, "I hate you now!"?
One day I will run into your face
And to 'roundabout', turn away still in grief
I hope we will share smiles of a favourite friend
That we once had, because I feel, I feel this
Because we once shared the fire
, the fire that we shared
My favourite memory will always be
When we stood in the sand, with our fingertips in the ground
It would've been the first time, that I said, that I want you
I said that I love
you
Still I’m struggling to see where that feeling arouse
Was it mine I create, or was it real sharing then?
Still I’ll try to forget the things that I said when I yell
I was following, yes I was following
My messy head
Still I’m following...

Where I'm

Wash it away (in)
To choose it all
Rearrange myself to see
I’m howling down
It’s got to be you
To finish it all
To finish in the way
Somewhere I’m
Sit and feel alive
And say give all goes well
I’m safe
It’s so in me
In certain growth I say
To follow you
Make promises all
I’m finally where I’m
The golden valley
Because solemnly I
Forgiving I
To bridge this portal
And solemnly I
Consider I
Solutions are resting, forgotten where
Ground's soaked but whole
I’m certain this fear of
And all of this I stay to
This Earth
This world
Is where I wanna be now
Oh this Earth
Is where I wanna be now
It’s where I wanna be now

In Us
03:50

Just incase we forget, what it meant
I’m crowded up in this space and it feels... a little mistake
What does it fool? Because I
Somebody said, "there’s a change in us, right in there"
Who in the world is us, but
It’s falling out of touch and
I tried to accept myself (I tried to forget)
But this pain I feel is real
This pain is here and I’m real, and I long to be yours
In this world done
The one that we were to figure out
Could this watch my head as it runs on by
The fiction ain't why, but it’s got to be
Lost in a crowded space and I'd love to take you there
Feelings alone have lost this war, but I remember that face
In us
The fiction is coming in hot
, but I've lost who I am, but I'll stay
The fiction is hot, but I'll remember
Could this be one as it was
Because it's open and it wanders away
To wonder who
To wander away

Best of Me
04:51

A picture to tell, is not where I wanna see from
Only too well as I read, I see what I wanna be
Collecting fake words,
only to let it make me
Let it make me
, as I try to
Only as one
To ready my own
I’ll escape if I wanna know
It’s my choice, it’s ours
To run where I’ll be
Just on my terms
It was my terms
It was mine
On my terms, it was on (only ever here)
On my terms
I was giving my best, all that I have
Because I was giving my best
, all that I have!
There’s a heart inside, covered in change
Could I strip it all down, and fill it with space, because I
I wanna be open, I wanna be
The best of me
