Hey. I'm lost can you tell me where this is?
I'm lost, can you tell me where this address is?
Hey. It says it's fifty minutes away
Or ten minutes to drive by car
Hey.

[Verse]
If I knew I was leaving you
Then you knew I was leaving too
Laid down my tools, stone barely touched
Never to return or finish where I left off
Gallery walls pearly white like teeth
Dream lie of a pillow thief
Naked feet on the marble floor
Head of Medusa, shield like a mirror
[Chorus]
It's harder here to disappear
All that glitters is bronze
All that glitters is bronze
Don't close your eyes, I've made my mind
All that glitters is bronze
All that glitters is bronze
[Verse]
I've left serpents where I have been
Can't return to the island
Keep turning my friends to stone
I don't need forgiveness where I'll always be alone
[Chorus]
It's harder here to disappear
All that glitters is bronze
All that glitters is bronze
Don't close your eyes, I've made my mind
All that glitters is bronze
All that glitters is bronze

Deep End
02:36
|

|
[Verse]
Chaos is quiet
Alone in the night
Stars covered by clouds
They won't come out
[Chorus]
Maybe all I want, is to see beneath all the lies
Maybe all I want, is to take off the last disguise
[Verse]
Swimming pool eyes
Saying don't go
So in I dive
And play it down low
[Chorus]
Maybe all I want, is to see beneath all the lies
Maybe all I want, is to take off the last disguise

Props of Masculinity

|
[Verse 1]
I have already been kissed tonight
Hold your advances, you're brave but late
The night belongs to me
But the clouds make it heavy to hold
[Verse 2]
Why am I waiting for time to pass
Throwing stones at your window like shooting stars
[Chorus]
Props of masculinity
Times them by infinity
Very hard to hold together
At this pace
I'm too scared to talk forever
Why can't we just be together
I would like to read the novels
On your face

Irreversible Change
04:22
|
|||
|
[Verse]
You've brought about
An irreversible change
I try to shout
But nothing's leaving my mouth, now
[Chorus]
We've heard it all before
These four walls aren't safe anymore
But something must give, when all you've done is
Take it all away
Those excuses that you made
Are you dreaming all your life away

Groningen
02:13
|
|||
|
[Verse]
Everyone can see me
Sitting in Groningen
Mute like a monument
[Chorus]
This was our European secondment
This was our European secondment
Once what everything in world meant
This was our European secondment
[Verse]
What was I thinking
When I stopped myself from blinking
Summer rainfall
[Chorus]
I've always been my own worst downfall
I've always been my own worst downfall
No self sabotage
No self sabotage
No self sabotage
No self sabotage

Mercury
03:39
|

|
[Verse]
If only I had changed my mind
And none of this had happened
I wouldn't need to draw the lines
That lead me to this moment
Time goes fast
When you are not looking
I see the past
Like a star exploding
[Chorus]
But if you're never going to open your eyes
How are you going to see me staring back at you
Keep telling me telling me lies
I'm the one who's telling you the truth
[Verse]
I was standing at the edge
I didn't see the sheer drop
The reel of film inside my head
Never going to stop
I hear you say
Mercury's in retrograde
That explains
All of the mistakes I made
[Chorus]
But if you're never going to open your eyes
How are you going to see me staring back at you
Keep telling me telling me lies
I'm the one who's telling you the truth

Mirrors
04:17
|
|||
|
[Verse]
The mirror was already broken when I picked it up
I'm learning to live with someone else's bad luck
Lifting it as light as I can I still end up with cuts
If I wasn't so hot blooded maybe I would wear gloves
[Chorus]
Cold hands warm heart, you knew it
Took me like a photograph and framed it like a piece of art
Cold hands warm heart
I knew from the start
The shape and line, you drew it
Could this be the masterpiece, you leaving me so incomplete
I write descriptions for the walls
Just my interpretation
[Verse]
Looking back now, I think I regret all the lines I traced
Self portraits, based on reflections and drawn in haste
[Chorus]
Cold hands warm heart, you knew it
Took me like a photograph and framed it like a piece of art
Cold hands warm heart
I knew from the start
The shape and line, you drew it
Could this be the masterpiece, you leaving me so incomplete
I write descriptions for the walls
Just my interpretation
