My mask, if I could tear it off, and paint on top
And show it like some smoke and mirror scene
Those words would not come out of a single sentence you’d say
You'd say that when you look forward they can see you
You're in the angles in sea foam green
Ya you, you light up so bright, you become yellow
You’re just like sunshine, you know it too when you’d
Smile for the photograph
Smile for the photograph
Smile for the photograph
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
When you look forward
Oh can you see me
I’m in the angles
Prism of perception
I’ll shine your colours
Come here and love me
When you look forward
Oh can you see me
I’m in the angles
Prism of perception
I’ll shine your colours
Come here and love me
Smile for the photograph
Shine for the photograph
Smile for the photograph
Shine for the photograph
Smile for the photograph

Naked
04:30

He was another boy looking for love, in all the wrong places
When he stayed out to find it
He kept himself hid, invisible
He was on his knees
He was on his knees
He was on his knees
He was on his knees
And I knew that I wanted to be naked
Face first, enter, face first, enter
Now we're counting stars in fall
Nobody's here to steal our spark
A fire that burns in a sea
We can be selfless when we please
This is the place where I can be myself
This is the place where I can love you
Face first, enter, face first
You enter, face first
And I knew then I wanted to be naked
When you make me feel like I should run
I know that there would be no other one, like you.
Is there a moment to replace
Is there something that you'd like change from the time we met
While you were on your knees?
You enter, face first, enter
You enter, face first, enter
Your touch makes me,
Enter face first
Your love makes me emotional

Machine
04:26

This is a machine
It’s pacing, defacing your brain
This is a machine
It passes, then masses your frame
And it breathes
It’s boneless, it's heartless and bare
And it dances, it dances, it dances
Ooo, ooo
We are not in one piece
We’re fragments of what we created together
When lovers fall apart, lovers lose there heart
Love is a machine
This love is a machine
Bounds us to comfort, hard to set free
This love is a machine
And it dances, it dances
So
Dance
Dance
All the words we’ve said
All the dreams we’ve shared
Have been feeding our fire
All the things I want
All the things you want
Don’t see eye to eye with desire
Are we falling apart
Are we gonna end
Are we falling apart
Are we gonna end
Are we gonna end
Are we
Are we
This love is a machine
And it dances
It’s passing then massing your frame
It’s pacing defacing your brain
This love is a machine
This love is a machine

Mere Miles
04:35

Drop the keys off at the neighbours
I’m going away
I knew from the first moment that you were my love
You will never be all alone and we will be forever and we’d have our love to live for our lives
I never want to be without you and when I close my eyes I’m tripping not knowing what to do
You make me feel like I could fly
Mere miles away from you
Should I stay and talk about this
With you beside
Hours of thought fill this world and I was sinking in
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking of you far too often every single place that we have been
Unintentional impulses moving me up into space
And you’re still on my mind
On my way to you, I'm drawing circles in the air and I’m leaving this world far behind
You made me feel like I could fly
Mere miles away from you
Should I stay and talk about this
With you beside
Mere miles away from you
Should I stay and talk about this
With you beside
What could have happened if I was away with you
Say that we could be
Each others stone
Each others everything
Drenching my heart with the weight of maybe you’ll be alone with me
Mere miles
Away
From you
Should i stay and talk about this
With you
Beside
Mere miles away from you
Should I stay and talk about this
With you
Beside
Mere miles away from you
Should I stay and talk about this
With you
Beside

Lions
04:24
|

I may be an easy target for your manipulation
I can jump easily through your rings of fire
Your touch, your words this hypnotization
I won't be running
I've become stagnant like water and I've started to shift
With nothing to hide
You did it again, you got me to bow on your torso, and speak in your tongue
Speak in your tongue
We are lions
I am the lion
We are lions
Reaching for heart
You give me fair I give you
What I want
You give me touch I give you a loose response
And I, I am the curtain you close
At the end of the day
With all of your memories
You take and want
Back home and share with your mates
You share with your mates
We are lions
We are lions
We are lions
Reaching for heart

Put me on top
And tell me
That I'm worthy of more, as I
As I pour down your arms like liquid
Are you happy now
After I’m gone
You will wonder if this is the time
The time and the space
That you needed
Cutting corners and telling lies
I am like the innocent kind
I am true to you and I am strong
When it's cold outside i am warm when I’m with you
Wrapped around these arms and i am here
Defending my version of truth
Say it again
We can be free’r
When we’re
Between
The blue lines of shores ending
I wake up in the morning 8:45
Put on my shoes and continue walking
Hoping one day this distance will be closer to you
I hope you feel
I hope you’re turning around like I, I am
So say it again
We can be free’r
When we’re
Between
The blue lines of shores ending
Say it again
We can be free’r
When we’re
Between
The blue lines of shores ending
Say the things
We can be
Heart in heart
Our timing
Oh the space in-between is like liquid that’s been rushing through
Through me
My heart is flailing
My skin is frail
I'm cutting all the ties from here to there
I am all
We’re all the same
We’ll have to change
We'll have to
We'll have to change
