Decomposing
Alone, inside, the formaldehyde Won’t keep me fresh for long My temporal lobe runs out my nose I take a bath like I do when something’s wrong I keep thinking of you As I watch my two arms dissolving in the water The Epsom Salts are burning lots But I guess self-care is just like slaughter You couldn’t just wait 'til the final phase Oh Jesus, Mary, Joseph I know I smell like rotten flesh But with how you smell You should care much less At least you’re not decomposing While composing this song

Will you stay here with me through it all Frying eggs and kicking rocks 'til the fire comes and covers us in dust In me will you still trust? I try and look at all the little things I just can’t study them enough But you love watching how the fire spits and grows Melting off your silver coat But sometimes I wonder Are we running from the people that we love? 'cause when I’m here with you I’m seeing red I’m seeing through To all these signs that they’ve been sending from above Standing here with you And the flames they go right through And we are looking on to something with no end I’ll stick with you And we will take the road less travelled on my friend I’ll watch you sailing down the river then Letting go of all you know Will they be listening when we Say we told them so? And will they let us have our go? I watch the film roll back I love you more All you do I understand We’ll stand together Side by side and hand in hand Watching as the smoke destroys our plans I don’t know anything My armour has been blocked Look at the artifacts and hold them to the clock We’ll tread on lightly as I lose sight of my self I think it’s clear As we stand right here And we roll into the sun And we look on shining up I’m on top Waiting 'til this whole thing stops And we’re heading into something With no end I’ll keep the rocks And we’ll damage all that’s lost And we’ll turn into something we can’t comprehend I know it’s coming That awful humming The flames they ebb and flow And we look on to dust I know I’ll miss you Hold tight and kiss you As we look up to the skyline And lose sight of the sun

He sat alone in the ground he was silent He waited for someone to come He put his ear to the gravel and prayed Some sound might lead him out to the sun Mountains and molehills The world is his oyster But nothing seems clear yet to him But he’ll keep on searching And only emerging As the day, turns to night, turns to him Why won’t it shine on me? He’d read in books of the sunrise and sunsets Sunburn that burns off your nose But he’d never seen it He’d only believed it It would all go on right he’d supposed So I’ll sit right here now with my hands on my eyes Waiting for someone to come But they will not be here And I’ll be left crying 'cause I’ll never see my dear sun Why won’t it shine on me?

I know you’re somewhere out there Lurking right behind the rocks You watch as I draw closer I couldn’t bear to let you rot Are you hiding out or are you just losing your mind again? Are you still the one that I’m counting on or are you still dead? I’ve seen your pictures lately You never seem to look the same I wonder if you’d like me I wonder if I have your brain Are you standing there, or am I just losing my mind again? Are you looking down from the perch you’ve found somewhere in the air? In the Big White Nothing You’re in the Big White Nothing Nothing is written in stone You’re never quite really alone In the Big White Nothing The willows have grown into you The flowers we left all have too But really they’re just falling through To the Big White Nothing I know you’re somewhere around But little by little I’ve found You were never underground You’re the Big White Nothing Is there someone out there? Or am I here all on my own? Are they hiding out or am I just losing my mind again? Have they touched the stars or am I just losing my mind again? Are you still the one that I’m counting on or are you still dead? In the Big White Nothing In the Big White Nothing I know you’re somewhere around But little by little I’ve found You were never underground You’re the Big White Nothing Now I’m just wasting away From all of the things you would say If you’d seen what happened today In the Big White Nothing

Home smells like mould On the window pane Walk up the hill see that television tower again Down the parade Look on out at the sphynx cats Walk to the agents see what everyone thinks about that And what’s going on? What’s going wrong? Walter Raleigh caught his coat onto a doorknob pulling him onto the floor I walked where he lay proud he’d paved out the way to my place at the number three door The Triangle, I’ve walked each side a thousand times and more I missed the way I loved those streets And I knew who I was living for And what was going on? What’s going wrong? Right now I’m surrounded by geese Up to my knees in sun Trying to find my way out this paradise That means so much to someone I love them all so dearly Mother, Father, sister too But I’m glad I don’t know what they’re doing And I hope I’ll see them soon

Ghost
A wandering central figure Traces past my eyes The mist obstructing where I thought I’d be tonight I know it’s just a rumour But boy does it feel nice From how you walked up to me To those big round blue eyes I’ve got to go and I see the summer come in like nothing I have ever known I see, I feel, I don’t know if I’m gonna make it all on my own You take, you steal and you’re running around and lying in the flower beds You fade into the woodgrain and it’s like you never left my head Talk to me baby like you’ve known me your whole life Walk through the garden and then cut me with your knife They say the ones you love won’t always stay in your life Fade into nothing and then trace what’s far behind Out your sightlines I’ve got to go and I see the summer come in like nothing I have ever known I see, I feel I don’t know if I’m gonna make it all on my own You take, you steal and you’re running around and lying in the flower beds You fade into the woodgrain and it’s like never left my head And you find me on my own, but you stay close like a ghost

As you write on the wall And the loud bird it calls Old burden looks away And I twist below the fray line Turtle necked thing Twists an old diamond ring Outside it rusts But inside it lusts for a dream And Nose gets his head All wrapped up in bed He knows there’s a time Where the other things lie Among silence In sleep But the old whistle calls All the spiders run away As we breathe in air For neither one of us should stay Her neck grows too long She hums that same song She’s frightened, she’s scared Asks if anyone might stick around A walk to Euridice, is someone in front of me? I lay on the ground, red in the round Am I being too loud? Oh but why did you call? Could there be some other way? To tell someone you love You’re not brave enough to stay But I hear a rumbling call She must have heard most waking days They say I look a bit like her But I’ll try to end this the right way 'Cause I love her, yes I do 'Cause I love her But I don’t want to be like her

I can see what’s on your mind Something buried deep inside Made of paper and string I want to hold you but you won’t stand still I see the outline shake, And it's all inside What you can’t say All that you throw away You’re nervous by design Mirrored numbers in the time And I’m always too late I want to catch you but you won’t stand still I see the outline shake, And it's all inside What you can’t say All that you throw away I know Where you go What you find I don’t know you, but you might cross my mind I don’t see you, but I can trace the line You look like you’re tired Still you’re someone I admire How you wade through the noise I want to love you, but you won’t stand still I see the outline Shake 'til it’s all inside What you can’t say All that you throw away I know Where you go What you find I don’t know you, but you might cross my mind I can’t see you, but I can trace the line I just love you, so I might hold on tight I won’t lose you, but you stay far behind There you go I know you’re putting it on for me You pressing it down and you swallow me You break me apart and then I can’t breathe But please don’t you worry dear I won’t leave The words in a song that weren’t meant for me The mornings I wake and you’re next to me The sun in your eyes when you notice me So just for a moment hold still for me Still for me
Iris – vocal Marek – acoustic guitarCommon Knowledge
I can hear you down the hall So picturesque behind the wall That I paid so much to see And you don’t know you’re in front of me Scattered plaster on the floor Crooked numbers stuck on the door And I see it in your eyes The way you talk and hypnotise And I know it’s what you like Twisted shadows in the night And I know that's who you are I hope it’s common knowledge Opening hours 'til 3am I’ll stay here until closing then I hope you don’t mind me sticking around 'cause for you I’m always open As the world comes to a pause It seems nothing's behind closed doors Except the feelings we disguise The misty circles in your eyes And I see we’re moving on To everything you said you want Plans all scattered on the floor The window locked a broken door And I know we’re out tonight Running somewhere you might like And I see just who you are I hope it’s common knowledge Opening hours 'til 3am I’ll stay here until closing then I hope you don’t mind me sticking around 'cause for you I’m always open I see you on the line You’re telling me its time So we won’t look behind For signals in the sky Cruel lover we must go and find one and other where the bluebells grow And I see nothing and I see stars, I know you’re coming, I know where you are
