In The Seams'
INTRO - SORRY///
I've made considerable mistakes
Tried to be someone else
I've smoothed the creases from my face
Fought a war, for myself
I could say that I was sorry
Without losing face
But I'm far too proud to let this go
You say simplicity is key
But my head, won’t believe
I'm complicated to a tee
Lose a thread, roll a sleeve
I could say that I was sorry
Without losing face
But I'm far too proud to let this go
I could tell you not to worry
‘bout your number in the race
But I'm far too proud to let you know
LET IT GO///
Every second I get older there's a line
I get down and pray for time
Every moment is a boulder being fired
Every night a day has died
Let it go, you can't try to race it
Don’t you know you don’t have to face it
Keep your head don’t be misled to waste it
Run away with me
I'm a sinner cos I'm led by vanity
Someone come and save my soul
Say the word and I will take you down with me
Somewhere we can both grow old
Let it go, you can't try to race it
Don’t you know, you don’t have to face it
Keep your head; don’t be misled to waste it
Run away with me
Just run away with me
Run away with me
Just run away with me
I don’t know what to do about this any more
You know sometimes I forget I’m alive
And then it hits me in the night
When I realize it’s
Too dark and it’s too light
And it’s too loud and it’s too too bright
And it’s too hard
Too long to be on your own
Run away with me
Run away with me
Run away with me
Run away with me
INTRAVENOUS///
Summer lays in field and fern
There’s no return from what you learn
Leaves behind a keener burn
I'll drink to you tonight
Intravenous, intravenous
Come to me undissolved
Intravenous, intravenous
Take on this whole
There’s never any medicine in sugar pills
But I have grown addicted to your high
There's heaven in an innocently given will
I'm craving for a love that's simplified and pure
Winter, wise, in sleep we find
We dream, we fall behind
Intravenous, intravenous
Come to me undisguised
Intravenous, intravenous
Open my eyes
And all I really care is that the sun will rise
‘Cos I can find a certainty in light
In younger days I couldn't find the compromise
But now I understand that you were right
And everything around us will regress to this
Depending on each other for a high
There’s only you and me to make the best of this
And everyone outside can stay behind the door
BANG////
Let’s go out with a bang
Steal a car let the sirens sing
You keep your keys by your side
Cos you are only here for the ride
And you couldn't care less if you tried
Would you turn me in?
Like a chime leave my name to ring?
Well I couldn't care less if I tried
I couldn't care less if I tried
‘Cos I know your pain, and I can take it away
I'm not the same, I'm special baby
Yeah
Tongue tied and torn
Spit it out, what you come here for?
Open house for the dead
Saw the sign, saw the light go red
But I couldn't care less if I tried
I couldn’t care less if I tried
‘Cos I know your pain, and I can take it away
We’re one and the same, this is my favourite game
I know your pain, comes around like a tired old refrain
Let’s blow it away
Let's go out with a bang
I REMEMBER///
I remember when we were skin and bone, tough and cruel
But bruises brown and fade away
Trinkets in a coat pocket stolen from kids at school
Burned a hole and fed a shame
Someone should have told you that you'd always have a place to go
Uh oh I thought you would have known
Someone should have told you that you'd never find yourself alone
Uh oh, we lost you to the snow
I remember when we would hang about in hollow trees
New sounds, sitting smoking leaves
Walking past boarded up windows kept you down
Shit town, knew you couldn't breathe
Someone should have told you that you'd always have a place to go
Uh oh I thought you would have known
Someone should have told you that you'd never find yourself alone
Uh oh, we lost you to the snow
Or maybe you climbed out after all
I didn't wait around to see you fall
Found you on facebook soft and warm
You must have known it. You must have known it.
You must have known it. You must have known it.
NOBODY DIED///
Hey
Anybody know the way back where I'm from?
Too much freedom has sent me dumb
Ooh, try to kid yourself you knew it all along
But the right was becomes the wrong one
But hey, we're ok my friend
Nobody died in the end
And the stupid things won’t matter in the light
So hold tight
Ooh did you ever think it's you they're looking for?
But they don’t knock upon your door?
Day becomes the night and once again
Light a candle it never ends
But hey, we're ok my friend
Nobody dies in the end
And these stupid things don’t matter in the light
Wait, you're ok my friend
Nobody dies in the end
And these stupid things won’t matter in the la la la light
So hold tight
DEVOTION///
Sisters in threes
Pilgrims from overseas
Borrowed belief
Garlands and bilva leaves
On hands and knees
Crawl to a saintly scene
Crazy to me
I don't see what they see
Gasoline dreams
Raging against machines
Peaceful release
Marigolds mark the street
Eyes for the blind
No question in his mind
Knots intertwined
Can't quite believe it but
I wanna feel devotion
Feel devotion
I wanna feel devotion
Feel devotion
Scrolls from the sea
Gods tied to cosmic trees
Arrows and spears, preachers and pioneers
Cubits of stone
Make walls for a wailing on
Stories of home
Bring people comfort so
I wanna feel devotion
Feel devotion
I wanna feel devotion
Feel devotion
A WORD///
I’ve been thinking about you today
I've been working out what you would want me to say
Put the words in an order that works
Leave out the sharp ones that might make you hurt
You know I’ve never been good with words
Things I mean to say tumble out stuttered and slurred
Now I'm standing here racking my brain
You've gone and made me lose my thread again
Hooooooooooo
I prefer silence to being unheard
Hoooo I can be kind without saying a word
Maybe you could just gimme some time
Understand it's not easy to make this all rhyme
Though the rhythm comes slowly to start
I can't just seem to get all this by heart
Maybe I just don’t have what it takes
Maybe you could just put up with all my mistakes
Not exactly a sweet serenade!
But I need you near me and words only complicate
Oooh I prefer silence to being unheard
Hoooo I can be kind without saying a word
JAMES///
Wake up
James it's dark out
Stand your ground now, use your will
Shape up, knocked you spark out
Every winter, you fall still
Always, looking inward
Never knowing , who to be
These things, never matter
When you're older, you will see
That it's easy to forget
The moments that descend
It's easy to forget
The time
Mittens, knitted for you
Kept together by a string
Football on a white field
You could never quite fit in
It's easy to forget
The moments that descend
It's easy to forget
The time
Memories through a window
See him falling time again
ST MALO///
I've been proud of my place
Taking the back streets
Not an easy thing to do
Listen to me now
I’ve been out in a crowd
Beating the bounds in and
It's never been easy
Bough from the willow tree
Keeping the birch off me
It's never been easy
Take me walking if you go
Round the walls of Saint Malo
Knights in houses either side
One a secret, one a bride
Tell me stories as we go
Round the walls of Saint Malo
I can hear them whispering
As the night bird starts to sing
I've been counting the worms in the woodwork
Not an easy exercise, listen to me now
I am humble and know
Keeping my eyes low but
It's never been easy
Bough from the willow tree
Keeping the birch off me
It's never been easy
Take me walking if you go
Round the walls of Saint Malo
Knights in houses either side
One a secret, one a bride
Tell me stories as we go
Round the walls of Saint Malo
I can hear them whispering
As the night bird starts to sing
Take me walking let me go
Round the walls of Saint Malo
By the window she will stand
Broken body in her hand
No more song of sweet sorrow
Round the walls of Saint Malo
Bind her heart in golden thread
For her nightingale is dead
