Cold Mad River
03:26

As my feet have touched the water
Currents chase and never sit
See ways of least resistance
The quiet times we can’t resist
Take the cold from the river
Flashback to open lines
Take the cold from the river
A mad thought of self defined
Take the cold from the river
It never sees but knows it’s fine
The past we like to favor
Nostalgia’s warm embrace
Like a grip on all the outcomes
What’s ahead of us is far from safe
Take the cold from the river
Flashback to open lines
Take the cold from the river
A mad thought of self defined
Take the cold from the river
It never sees but knows it’s fine
Take the cold from the river
Flashback to open lines
Take the cold from the river
A mad thought of self defined
Take the cold from the river
It never sees but knows it’s fine
Tame the look of reaching back
It’s a hard fall down to get back on track
Tame the look of reaching back
It’s a hard fall down to get back on track

Force Majeure
04:08

We look away, as the snow comes
Barrels down the mountain, breaks the line
From a distance, it seems so graceful
Cause that which brings us down will play with time
Clocks can’t ever change their minds
Always,
We’re caught off guard
But, with so many chances
So many chances, this ain’t force majeure
Through the valley, through the hills
Though we can barely see, we know the roads
Some of warned us, some have listened
But the volume’s pretty low with all the noise
Clocks can’t ever change their minds
Always,
We’re caught off guard
But, with so many chances
So many chances, this ain’t force majeure
We've got love, that’s always loud
But, that’s for days, we’re all alone
Needing ways for the hungry crowds
To listen now, this ain’t force majeure

Maybe Tonight
04:22

She said, why are you still here
Have you said enough?
I thought by now ignition would’ve passed
And moods had lost their trust
I admit for just one year, I said a thing or two
Of questionable truth, with a voracity towards you
Maybe tonight, I’d honestly just love
Perhaps I might just mean
All the things I said when I was drunk
Maybe tonight, we’ll sit and have a talk
You will probably leave
The truth will feel like we’ve been actually taught
I came right up the hard brick steps
A home I never met
Although I’d been there many times before
I felt I owed a debt
She was worse than me, unfit beyond belief
City life was her mess, knew wealth and nothing less
Maybe tonight, I’d honestly just love
Perhaps I might just mean
All the things I said when I was drunk
Maybe tonight, we’ll sit and have a talk
You will probably leave
The truth will feel like we’ve been actually taught
Nothin’ but a bear trap, so i’m better off walkin’
Find a whiskey and a barmaid
Find a whiskey and a barmaid

The Wheel
04:13
|

|
All the lights receding now
And the volume low
What if the flame of a candle is
The brightest glow
Take me away from the action of
The fanatical
Each idea sells a potion but
It’s laughable
It’s a long way down
It’s a long way down off the wheel
It’s a long way down
It’s a long way down
Look out where the traffic comes
On a London road
What you think you know
Could be the breaking load
Believe what we’re told so easily
It’s criminal
Trust was a thing we used to earn
More subliminal
It’s a long way down
It’s a long way down off the wheel
It’s a long way down
It’s a long way down
Off the wheel...

200 Years
04:56
|
|||
|
I don’t wanna say I’m down
I don’t wanna scream
Won’t admit the light seems dim
Perhaps it’s what I need
We’re always saving face
Even in the cold
And I remember when
I could handle the load
But all the same headlines
Make the pious fold
Let the sleepless sleep
Let them take control
Burning up in the oooh, atmosphere
Burning up and we’re falling, falling, blame the disconnection
I’ll say if we’re oooh, still here
In 200 hundred years, let’s break the glass
Re-occurring themes of truth
Can we believe our eyes
Take the salt from an older man
One who’s heard all the lies
We’re gonna read more books
We’re gonna stay intact
The future begs for us
To not forget the past
Burning up in the oooh, atmosphere
Burning up and we’re falling, falling, blame the disconnection
I’ll say if we’re oooh, still here
In 200 hundred years, let’s break the glass
