Everest EP
Everest
Somehow we’ve taken every precious breathe
and replaced it with nothing
we’ve climbed so high but still we’re giving in
all chivalry lost on me
We’re too far
too gone
short sighted, long haul
older, ageless
heavy and weightless
love can change this
colouring the faded
for all we know there’s no tomorrow
Hold me like you’ll never see the sun again
or feel love again
hold me
One more step we’re looking down the precipice
free falling Everest
hold me
Don’t dare to dream we’re only heaven sent
no significance to this
when life has proven to be hesitant
no decadence lost on me
We’re too far
too gone
short sighted, long haul
older, ageless
heavy and weightless
Love can change this
colouring the faded
for all we know there’s no tomorrow
Hold me like you’ll never see the sun again
or feel love again
hold me
one more step we’re looking down the precipice
free falling Everest
hold me
Only we know how far we fall
time is a lover sent to catch each other
Hold me like you’ll never see the sun again
or feel love again
hold me
One more step we’re looking down the precipice
free falling Everest
hold me
Higher Now
Had a dream I was drifting with you
In a stream of cold white, no blue
Giving up our bodies to the flow
There were wreathes & snow white flowers
hear them speak of a drunken hour
When we knew not what we ought to know
Cover my head cover your soul
Lover we'll never grow old
Buried in youth held in times strong hold
Can we go higher, higher now
Can we go higher, higher now
Can we go high above the love we have found
Can we go higher, higher now
Don't remember sleep being like this
So dark & our hearts are weightless
Even so our tongues will turn to stone
The moon scratches to catch a glimpse as
The young corpse has caught its interest
See our bodies glisten in the glow
Cover my head cover your soul
lover we’ll never grow old
buried in youth held in times strong
Hold
Can we go higher, higher now
Can we go higher, higher now
Bury Your Heart Here
Hold on
hold on to this
there’s enough of me to last the year
Take this
but don’t break it
I’ll be coming back when I’m in need
older than I was before
I’ll be hanging on the rope that you hung
Bury your heart here
I’ll keep it safe deep
under my skin & my bones
no stranger to refuge
know that I’ll keep you
under my skin and my bones
Tighter
so much tighter
if you plan on holding on for good
higher
lighter
as my lungs are full I float into the blue
Bury your heart here
I’ll keep it safe deep
under my skin & my bones
no stranger to refuge
know that I’ll keep you
under my skin and my bones
All the gold
in the world could never buy another love
to shine
to hold
to fill my empty chest and make me whole
Bury your heart here
I’ll keep it safe deep
under my skin & my bones
no stranger to refuge
know that I’ll keep you
under my skin and my bones
River Runs Red
I'll sleep like a child unsettled
restless to the breast I nuzzle
I'd hold my breathe until my face it turns blue
I'd hold out death until my time here is through
Didn't I say it was all or nothing
I'm an island boy in the city running
I'm a six string soul who's played and gone home
I’ve got twenty thousand nights to find you now I know
'til the river runs red
'til you're out of my head
'til the sky turns black
or heaven takes you back
'til they lay my bones down in the soil
I'm never giving up, never giving up
Never giving up, never giving up on you
I gave it all in a hurry
another young man fell for the money
we're all so blinded by the stars in our eyes
we're all so busy making plans to survive
Didn't you say it was a long time coming
I've been left in park with my engine running
I'm a simple soul who you don't understand
Got my heart on my sleeve and the world in hands
'til the river runs red
'til you're out of my head
'til the sky turns black
or heaven takes you back
'til they lay my bones down in the soil
I'm never giving up, never giving up
Never giving up, never giving up on you
