Verse
data is shifty
data’s not real things
data’s the limit
data is feelings
data is trouble
data’s inadequate
data is full of holes
data’s inconvenient
data’s overloaded
data’s overwhelming
data points a finger
data is selling
data’s objective
data’s opinionated
data is biased
data’s discombobulated
Chorus
we're the asteroid
this is the aftermath
we're the danger
this is the consequence
later is happening now
later is happening now
Verse
what is the best response
to a catastrophe
what is the nature
of your emergency?
fumbling and stumbling
feeling your way around
tumbling and bumbling
everything falling down
Chorus 2x
we're the asteroid
this is the aftermath
we're the danger
this is the consequence
later is happening now
later is happening now

Lies Lies

Verse
Did I end up miles from home
When I was next to you alone
Now I’m right back where I started
Soul unwhole I’m broken hearted
Chorus
Lies lies lies lies
And then you go
Lies lies lies lies
And now you’re gone
Verse
All crawling through words
Your promises burn
These clothes never fit
What am I supposed to learn
And it’s breaking, vacant, I’m waiting to survive
Oh the days it takes to be done
And then a red light flashing inside my mind
Now there’s a thunderstorm on my tongue
Chorus 2x
Lies lies lies lies
And then you go
Lies lies lies lies
And now you’re gone
Chorus Outro
Lies lies lies lies
But now I know
Lies lies lies lies
I’m moving on

Zero The Dial

Verse
oh my god I'm tired
of all these glowing screens
and I get so inspired
when you look over at me
and we could talk for hours
I like your point of view
a world that's only ours
offline and just us two
Chorus
let's switch off love
zero the dial
tumble down love
into the wild
Verse
oh my life I love
when we share this space
the moments we make up
time cannot erase
oh my love our lives
can get so filled with noise
when all I want tonight (go down)
is to listen to your voice
Chorus
let's switch off love
zero the dial
tumble down love
into the wild
Bridge
while the moon was falling
The stars covered their eyes
but our whole life is calling
our sun is on the rise
Chorus x2
let's switch off love
zero the dial
tumble down love
into the wild

Playing Dead

Verse
our path was lit only slightly by moonbeams
we got lost in this city of moodswings
we've weathered superstorms all summer
a wind wished away the clouds we were under
Chorus
we live by playing dead and
now we heal
everything that you said is
how I feel
Verse
we made plans, waited for grace then heaven laughed
you're alive, in my life and thank heaven for that
Chorus
we live by playing dead and
now we heal
everything that you said is
how I feel
Bridge
in the beginning we were so breakable
but we became so brave
now I can feel the thread between us
half a world away
Chorus (4x)
we live by playing dead and
now we heal
everything that you said is
how I feel

Love Looks Back
04:46
|
|||
|
Verse
I'll never look like the sun
I'll never pray as loud
as the barking of a gun
or an angry storm cloud
I won't be going over
this same old empty ground
I pledge allegiance to water
I'm talking back to the sound
Chorus
I'm setting beauty free
I'm taking the body back
I'm believing me
from the mirror love looks back
Verse
I'm no digital ghost
moving server to server
I'm a fighter I suppose
A lover, a dreamer, and a worker
Chorus
I'm setting beauty free
I'm taking the body back
I'm believing me
from the mirror love looks back
Bridge
our dreams wrapped in bodies
underneath an empty sky
right behind my eyes
billboard of a dirty night
Chorus 2x
I'm setting beauty free
I'm taking the body back
I'm believing me
from the mirror love looks back
Outro 3x
everything changes
when you're changing everything

This Land

|
Verse
the smell of asphalt
the market’s hungry
the smell of money
these empty bellies
the poor walking along hot scenes
things are falling apart
the smell of smoke
the energy’s seized
the smells of exhaustion
it’s all happening
trying to pick up all the pieces
but it’s faster than anyone said it’d be
Chorus
this land
torn from hands
of slaughtered
aren't I just impossible?
Verse
world dressed in fever
world dressed up in fire
world dressed in sickness
world gone haywire
it won’t be long now
the carton’s expired
but it’s faster than anyone would believe
and nothing’s offering reprieve
Chorus
this land
torn from hands
of slaughtered
aren't I just impossible?
Bridge
forgive us, trees
forgive us, seas
forgive us land
I’m on my knees
I shut you out
Now I’m praying please
I remembered you, now remember me
Chorus 2x
this land
torn from hands
of slaughtered
aren't I just impossible?

Ice Age

Verse
boots on the staircase
hate on the airwaves
hunting down children
haunting our doorways
wicked intentions
these cruel inventions
this age of tension
please get home safe love
Chorus
you belong here
as much as i do
yes you are mine
and I belong to you
Verse
if they came for you
well what would i do?
if they came for me?
could you forget me?
Bridge
these days the weight's coming down
there’s times I can't stand this town
these days the weight's coming down
but I'll love you
Chorus 2x
you belong here
as much as i do
yes you are mine
I belong to you

Fire On Fire

|
|||
|
Verse
I’m waiting here for good news
The night became too dark
To see through
We gave up on the moon
Drunk on stolen blues
And the fumes
Chorus
Going nowhere with nowhere to go
And where this ends none of us know
If not for this nightmare
I’d fall asleep for a hundred years
Verse
Could we hold on to this world
Whatever it requires
Speak to me in soft soft words
Light this fire on fire
Chorus 2x
Going nowhere with nowhere to go
And where this ends none of us know
If not for this nightmare
I’d fall asleep for a hundred years

Verse
i was a coward then
so let us not pretend
we don't know what that means
if I could do it over again
I wouldn't have hurt you when
you were begging for relief
Chorus
I'm not proud of how I did you wrong
and was there anything you did to me?
if you’d forgive me now
then I’d forget myself
then maybe we'd both be free
Verse
its a classic mistake
to believe I can undo
all of the heartache I put you through
Chorus
I'm not proud of how I did you wrong
and was there anything you did to me?
if you’d forgive me now
then I’d forget myself
then maybe we’d both be free
Bridge
was I lost off on some other planet?
did I try hard enough to find your world?
Chorus
I'm not proud of how I did you wrong
and was there anything you did to me?
if you’d forgive me now
then I’d forget myself
then maybe
2nd chorus ending
then maybe we'd both be free

Verse
We've seen this all before
we should’ve known
it'd come down to this
We've had it up to here
left wanting more
let down again
I guess we know by now
that we've been had
& we’ve been lied to
what if this never ends
we can’t go back
stand & face the new
Chorus
courage love
no we won't quit
whatever comes
we'll make the best of it
Verse
we've almost come undone
but then again
we are still breathing
feels like something's waking up
when it's still dark
a new day’s beginning
Chorus 2X
courage love
no we won't quit
whatever comes
we'll make the best of it
Outro
come what may
I love your eyes
We’ll find a way
make our own light

your night is my day

you're right here
loving me true

Verse
I'm just a leaf falling
I don't have wings darling
a song is calling
I’m just a moon changing
swaying with the oceans
the earth is turning
Chorus
does the daylight come
or does the night depart?
does the beginning end
or does the ending start?
Verse
let's be giants of love
let's play our hand darling
now or never, all in

does the daylight come
or does the night depart?
does the beginning end
or does the ending start?

push away these fears
for just one more day
or for years and years
it's courage either way
Chorus (2x)
does the daylight come
or does the night depart?
does the beginning end
or does the ending start?
