Natural Historie 03:56
lyrics

Mark my words This will be the place where we fall The graphs don’t lie It’s the inconvenient truth You know the score Ice floe with nowhere to go The great north wind and The history of the world Don’t want these mountains to fall Don’t want to live on Mars Lay me down with the frogs and the herons And let me look at the stars And mystery We are born All without ever knowing why The past and now Will exist side by side All this fire All these lights All this fire All these lights All this fire All these lights All this fire All these lights

Dark Gate 04:38
lyrics

As the crow flies through the grey sky Swooping turning Unseen by us down below No sign from the down below Billowing white sheet full of sunbeams Shining blowing Like the first snow you didn’t know Didn’t see the beauty of 
Dark gate swings both to and fro Some people lose the keys to the bungalow And just suppose You didn’t know How to get inside Lost all your incite Locked out of your old life Locked out of your old life Locked out Like the mole knows in the burrow Where he’s going returning To the black heart of underground Deep sleep of wintertime They say a bright light that you can follow Leads outwards onwards To the first arms you ever felt Ever felt the longing for

A Thousand Sounds 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Feel awake and asleep In a dream Falling in makes you spin dream again In the dark a thousand sounds In the black the moonlight shines It follows you around the room It follows you Dreams and rapid streams Wrapped in sunlight Wrapped in stars and leaves How do you want to fly there? Drift away And drift away The starry floor gently turns in a dream Look out from earth as it curves wake again In the dark a thousand sounds In the black the moonlight shines It follows you around the room It follows you

An Astronaut 04:46
lyrics
buy track
She had a wildness A raging dark fire burning inside Trusted me with her secrets She yelled back and then they sent her away And when they didn’t want to tell us That’s when the truth clicked into view And the dark fire burns stronger Combined with a euphoria That’s when the truth hits That’s when the shutter clicks Hold on don’t go Hold on believe Hold on don’t go Hold on believe Survival was an artform Learned by invention every day A life that appeared so cool Was clearly filled with darkness and great will And when they didn’t want to tell us That’s when the truth clicked into view

Double Negative 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Stop waving that knife You’re so in my face I won’t tell you twice So just walk away Resonate in the room Pulses are racing You whistle a tune I cannot relate to We can’t not be the double negative Side by side people Diametrically opposed Won’t outdo you A pessimist like me Competition How awful things can be Can you Talk into the phone I can hardly hear you Hear you Hear you Leave your shoes at the door Always hated the sunshine boots Never known what they’re for Decorations left hanging Fingers tap and they swim That’s your happy place What more can I bring?
