Blue Romeo 06:13
Beating me on the ground Lost the final round Blood is a flavour It's all the same to me Even the slowest drunk weighed down with severed love seems to find a way to see a lot more shades than me Romeo, romeo Blue is the colour Blue as a lover Romeo, romeo, Blue is the icefield We're still calling home Bleeding the ocean dry I still won't confide We could go under Rolling like a wave I carry below this tongue In a chest too full for lungs The breath that I can't hold and hope The chroma comes again Romeo, romeo Blue is the colour Blue as a lover Romeo, romeo, Blue is the icefield We're still calling home You were the closest one Before the hands turned numb What was the colour? You said it’s called Dove Blue Heaven in the screen pushed away my dreams Filling up my eyes now with the only light I see Romeo, romeo Blue is the colour Blue as a lover Romeo, romeo, Blue is the icefield We're still calling home

A body of glass Meeting the needs Harder than ice Softened to please Care for the future Moderate pain Disciplined hearts Primitive brains A body of glass Carry the mind Meeting the needs Follow the culture Filling the role Leaving a mark Out of the cold Limits of a lifetime Minutes of the longest year Wasted in half-light Oh no, I know Crumble in the daytime Blinking in the cave in fear Wishing for our own kind Oh no, I know Taken to task Sharing the blame Corporate masks Measured acclaim Basic defences Hardened resolve Noble machines Yet to evolve In violent light Look at how fast we go In violent light You see us but you can never know A body of glass Meeting the needs Harder than ice Softened to please Care for the future Moderate pain Primitive hearts Disciplined brains

Wealth 04:45
Why applaud? They piled bricks and scorched the earth not for you We contort Another week With no retort Yeah you Wealth’s just metal Glory is an echo This is law It’s old and so you must be wrong Why change it? I’m in place And everything is to my taste Yeah you Wealth’s just metal Glory is an echo

Immolate the dirt to warm the sky A strange regret Distance complicates the perfect prize Surgery left unanaesthetised A cast to set Difference in us breaks the bones and spine And cuts me open What will become Of my heart When you're gone Tell me What will become Of my heart When you're gone I keep moving in and out of time Your face is wet Stretching out the words to reach the line I never make it (oh) Way home We keep it critical Resisting the start of a slide to insignificance Grateful Just to feel anything Straight to the head Straightest edge An empty pedestal What will become Of my heart Now you're gone Tell me What will become Of my heart Now you're gone Immolate the dirt to warm the sky Distance complicates the perfect prize Surgery left unanaesthetised A cast to set Difference in us breaks the bones and spine And cuts me open What will become Of my heart Now you're gone Tell me What will become Of my heart Now you're gone I will always go alone This is out of my hands I will always carry on It's a part of me I will always go alone This is out of my hands I will always carry on It's inside of me

Slip up the coast Enter the fray Oceans alight Holes in the sky Weather the time Different terrain Stretching the threads across Torrent released Open the eyes Swallowed the coal Setting a fire Stealing the night Summon the frame Implanted delight Fractal cascade Stealing the night Summon the frame Implanted delight Heaven decays Torrent released Open the eyes Swallowed the coal Setting a fire Slip up the coast Enter the fray Oceans alight Holes in the sky Weather the time Different terrain Stretching the threads across Fractal cascade Divine Calibrate the ocean to divide Delight Calibrate the ocean to ignite Disorderly Disorder me Disorderly Disorder

Aggregates 04:29
Oh the times you've seen You wouldn't dare to tell me All the places we've expired Slowed us to a crawl This is me now In silent adulation With the lives you've had before A human aggregate You look different to how I remember you It must be the light It must be the whites Of your eyes It must be the ends Of the parts we played Only aggregates Only aggregates

Sentinel 04:16
A sentinel I am A sentinel relying On them to show Yes I am A sentinel divided And down and down Far and near A house asunder Yeah I’ve found, I’ve found A safe place to watch my world go under So down Slow down It’s all done So gone So gone Hold on A sentinel I am The senses are ignited Alarms unfold Alien But they are so invited And down and down Far and near A house asunder Yeah I’ve found, I’ve found A safe place to watch my world go under So down Slow down It’s all done So gone So gone Hold on It’s all done Just hold on
