These Palms

Bless these palms
Holding your hand on Sunday nights
Bless this tongue
And the bitterness that followed the taste of sweeter times
And my head ponders pointless potential
Can I blame you for someone else's crimes?
Do you carry it around?
Or bury it in the ground?
I bury it in the ground
Bless these palms
Holding your hand on Sunday nights
Bless this touch
Your hands to yourself but your lips to your lies
And my head wanders widely asunder
And in between is all unrecognised
Where I carry it around
To bury it in the ground
I bury it in the ground
Bless these palms
Holding your hand on Sunday nights
Bless this love
Keep every beat, the afflictions are mine
And my head wonders, would you have wanted
Forgiveness for affections left me marred?
Do you carry it around?
Or bury it in the ground?
Let's bury it in the ground

To Slow Down Time

They gave their youth
To toe the line
Don't we all do what we can do
To slow down time?
She loved for two
Didn't count his crimes
But he could not do what he had to do
To slow down time
Now their point of view
Is a fractured light
But it's nothing new
They follow through
To slow down
Time
Time
Oh when fractured light is all they buy,
They're losing height on little time
They gave their youth
To cross the line
Don't we all do what we can do
To slow down time?
He loved while new
She loved while kind
Creating room to empty soon
They take their time
Now they won't see to
Another sunrise
But it's nothing new
They follow through
To slow down
Time
Time
Oh when fractured light is all they buy,
They're hunting for a brand new sky
And they find places Nowhere sleeps
Where silent words sweep silent streets
They find places Nowhere sleeps
Where silent words sweep silent streets
They find places Nowhere sleeps
Where silent words sweep silent streets

Should we let this slip
While it's easier to stop?
Should we lay this down
With nothing more on top?
So nothing is moving
Moving beneath your fingertips
Would you leave this to dust?
Throw it out with the waste
Would you lay you down?
Lose the memory of this taste
With another's full embrace
So nothing is moving, moving
Moving beneath your feet
Nothing is moving, moving
Moving beneath your skin
Well it's simple enough to tease
When you've got nothing to give
But the taking over
Brings down heavy boulders
The weight of simple things
Where you can keep me pinned
Under your satisfaction
Under your satisfaction
Am I your satisfaction?
Well you can love and kiss your papier-mâché
She can be your fool, your sickness, your spirits, your razor blade
I could lose it all, I could give it up,
But you don't want me to change
So I will walk away
If you could just loosen these chains
Would you please loosen these chains?
Let me out
Out of your satisfaction
So nothing is moving, moving
Moving beneath our feet
Nothing is moving, moving
Moving beneath your kiss

You Don't Have Me

You filled the steady silhouette
Where I drew back my hand and ceased my mind
Erased the boxes
I had never meant for us to colour inside the lines
Now I'd be lying if I was saying it's alright by me
But the truth that I was caked in put it down on me
Now I've been counting weary days hosting my troubled sleep
For you to have me now
Went down to rest by the well
Met a man by the well
He asked me "Are you doing well?"
Well he said "You filled the steady silhouette"
"Just to wipe away the water drops that I first wept"
Now I'd be lying if I was saying it's alright by me
But the chemicals I'm sipping were dripping down on him
Now I've been counting weary days hosting my troubled sleep
But you won't have me now
Now I'd be lying if I was saying it's alright by me
But the truth that I was caked in put it down on me
Now I've been counting weary days hosting my troubled sleep
But you won't have me now
Now I'd be lying if I was saying it's alright by me
But the truth that I was caked in put it down on me
Now I've been counting weary days hosting my troubled sleep
But you won't have me now
It's gravity that keeps us moving
It's gravity that keeps us moving (So I change my centre)
It's gravity that keeps us moving (So I change my centre)
You don't have me
It's gravity that keeps us moving (So I change)
No you don't have me

Paper Walls

Paper walls
We build our lives with paper walls
On paper thoughts
We build our minds on paper thoughts
And it's paper thin
We build our pride as soft as sin
On paper wings
We bide our time on paper wings
And I could build a home right there
Tearing holes for doors and windows
Letting in the morning air
Can you feel that sun-kissed rain?
And everything is caving in
So we begin again
Paper walls
We build our lives with paper walls
And fabric floors
We close our eyes where the fabric's torn
At open doors
We stay inside and hide away the wars
And I could build a home right there
Tearing holes for doors and windows
Letting in the morning air
Can you feel that sun-kissed rain?
And everything is caving in
So we begin again
And I could build a home right there
Tearing holes for doors and windows
Letting in the morning air
Can you feel that sun-kissed rain?
And everything is caving in
So we begin again

Slow down
There's no sense in sound
Without any silence.
The canvas is quiet
So it's easy to remember what was taken away
What was stolen and borrowed and locked in a cage
And it's all smeared on roads I navigate
So forgive me for being late
But I just drove two hours to arrive at a song
Still I'm so damn scared to be wrong
Slow down
There's no sense in sound
Without any silence
The canvas is quiet
And I'm feeling shy
Butterfly resting on my mind
And I just drove two hours in search of a song
Still I'm so damn scared to be wrong
I don't wanna be wrong
I don't wanna be wrong
I don't wanna have blood on my hands
Don't wanna heal over again
I don't wanna be wrong
I don't wanna do you wrong
I don't wanna be delicate
'Cus God knows I'm delicate
And I'm feeling shy
Butterfly resting on my mind
And I'm feeling shy
Butterfly resting on my mind
Slow down (And I'm)
There's no sense in sound (Feeling shy)
Without any silence (Butterfly)
Butterfly resting on my mind
Slow down (And I'm)
There's no sense in sound (Feeling shy)
Butterfly resting on my mind
I can be small (And I'm) (Slow down)
And I can be strong (There's no sense in sound)
And I can stand tall (Feeling shy)
And watch you move on (Without any silence)
And I can be all (Butterfly)
That you'd ever want (Resting on my mind)
But I'm begging, Lord
Please don't let me be wrong
I can be small (And I'm) (Slow down)
And I can be strong (There's no sense in sound)
And I can stand tall (Feeling shy)
And watch you move on (Without any silence)
And I can be all (Butterfly)
That you'd ever want (Resting on my mind)
But I'm - I'm begging, Lord
I'm begging Lord
I don't wanna be wrong
I don't wanna be wrong
I don't wanna have blood on my hands
Don't wanna heal over again
I don't wanna be wrong
I don't wanna do you wrong
I don't wanna be delicate
'Cus God knows I'm delicate
But I don't wanna be right
'Cus how can I then
Slow down time?
