Yesterday 03:49
Yesterday It was raining yesterday Stuck at her home, but not alone She told me I should go away I saw her take down, as more rain poured down All the colours wash away Love and hate just fade to grey All the things I tried to say Lost in a haze of yesterday Walking in the rain, I felt the same as yesterday I recall her name, and see her face but yesterday... was another world away A lifetime ago, a eon It was another girl away A lifeline that broke, ahh... (The) toaster, (the) razor, (the) knife (The) bath, (my) wrists, (my) life

Pure Light 03:57
Pure light Extraordinary night She walked across the stage, I could almost see her wings Blinded by her light Captive in her gaze, looking straight at me And I could feel The light within me Her love is pure light Her love is pure light Pure like a prism Like a prism Extraordinary night More than a thousand tries, afraid of open eyes Blinded by her light The shame of breaking up, the pain of waking up

Turning Away 03:26
Turning away We were friends, a long long time ago Now I see, we were close as kids would go I'd make amends, but I don't know how to start In our galaxy, we're now so far apart It's enough to make me want to say goodbye Everything is now turning to you Everything is now falling away I might look beyond, that is the truth I might find myself turning away We started out together, now we're on opposing sides I wanted to stay with you, but I failed when I tried I still want to reach you, but love still has it's cost It makes me want to throw it in, now all hope is lost

Please believe me So sorry to have to drag it out like this But now I really have made up my mind So sorry to have to let you know like this But I really have to go this time Be strong, I'll see you before long This place has nothing for me (can't you see?) Please believe me (please believe me) You'll better off without me (kindly leave) Please believe me (please believe me) Don't cry You don't have to wear black today for this You needn't gather round to shed your tears Trust me now I know I won't be missed Unlike me you'll have to wear the years

Bereft 03:26
Bereft We'll stand back and watch as the skies part We've run out of time to discuss what we know Loss and love, science and art It's time for farewell, it's time to go Hail the skies, hail the rain Wash it all away Watch it fall away Until there's nothing left Until I am bereft (Deaf) I'm trying to hear you (Numb) I no longer feel your touch (Blind) I can't even see you (Dumb) I say nothing but still it's too much Hail the skies, hail the rain Wash away the pain Hail the skies, hail the rain Wash away until we're all the same

Horizon 03:57
Horizon Storms are coming, buckle up While you can, our memory's lapsing Last truck's leaving, just your luck Don't look behind, the wall's collapsing I wish I could remember when I loved you Check out the horizon The blackened sky is from the burning Can you see the fires? Don't close your eyes, the light's returning There's beauty in your windswept face I'll take a dove, you take a dove too So this is where we end the race I wish I could remember when I loved you I wish you would remember... Point zero is ground zero No-one wants to be a hero (X4)

Looking Down 03:38
Looking down Stagnant staying still Dying without motion Dreaming of the skill Flying through the ocean Flying through the ocean, swimming through the sky Feeling low, and moving slow Looking down and I don't know where I can go All this grey is all I know Looking down and there's nowhere I can go Having come this way Never asking why Dreams of far away Swimming through the sky
8.
Star 04:04
Star I see you like glass, I hear you like wind I feel you like water, I know you within And even though I've only met you, the background seems to blur And even though I hardly know you, you seem to fill the world, and I know that you're my girl As the walls between us slide, and pieces start to fall away The tears dry inside me, for all the talk there's more to say There's a star for you A star for you Shining bright Your guiding light You see me like glass, you hear me like wind You feel me like water, you know it will end As the love between us slides, and pieces start to fall away The tears fall inside me, you've left and there's no more to say You're like a star You're a star Shining bright My guiding light
9.
Through the clouds Hold me as we share tonight We cannot tell if the time is now Not knowing if to trust our sight Straining, peering through the clouds Close your eyes, and I'll close mine Hold me tight Hold me now Through the night Through the clouds Weightless, gliding through the night We can't stay still, we know not how Unable to fall from rapturous flight Floating, racing through the clouds Close your eyes, so I can close mine
10.
Coil 03:50
Coil Heart beating in this warm cocoon You told me you were mine Hands meeting but it's all too soon Please hold me 'till I die Round and round, inside and out Lost and found, blind hope and doubt Let me coil inside you, and never face the world Let me coil inside you, and never taste the hurt This losing streak has got to end Before I coil myself around you No more lovers, no more friends I haven't even found you
11.
Anywhere but here It's a revelation Pass the cider We'll be unified If we try harder Giving up the racket For a fun-filled human packet Laughing as the Autumn leaves fall down All around us there's the sound Of love and weightlessness As we hit the ground I'm hoping we'll be found Anywhere but here It's a new sensation No more outsider No more denied No need to hide her Making up for the funds we lack With our creativity, our souls intact
12.
Moonshine 04:20
Moonshine Moonshine, cast your light around fill my night with sound I'm here Moonshine, see my world at peace see my heart asleep I'm near Darkness all around me, now I know if I survived Darkness all around me, yet I know I have arrived Moonshine up above me, guide me out from here Moonshine up above me, deliver me from fear Moonshine, softly sing to me show me what you see I'm near Moonshine, now you see me through deliver me to you I'm here
