Headlights
Driving home, headlights pass in sweeping arcs
Fuzzy-eyed for the idea of home
The pull of love, the safety and the certainty
That waits for me behind those blackened hills
Method actors, no lines to learn we busy through our parts
Our sense of self outside of who we are
More than I can say
More than I can do
All of the unspoken vestiges of you

There's beauty here, that lies within the everyday
Manifest within and outside all of this
All of the unspoken, outside of reach
Curtain closed and we continue on
Horizon light, grows by night, the dreams that never sleep
Busy in the wanton need for peace
We're here and there, been and gone, at some point without trace
Relinquished of the need for love

There's beauty here, that lies within the everyday,
Manifest within a moment's grace.
All of the unspoken, all that we hold on
As we make the winding journey home

Skylines
So it's time, to take the 'plane all the way home
Familiar skylines, childhood streets
So it's time, nothing's the same but nothing's changed
Terrace houses, my bluestone beat
The box opened, empty, the steps up to your door
Rosetta memories, the heart it pines for more

With the wheel in my hand, I will follow 'round these curves
Through the comfort of these folding hills and valleys
With the pull upon my heart, where the end comes from the start
She will run with me through the unfolding moments
Oh-oh-oh.. oh-oh-ohh
This land, this skin, deep with my heart
This land, this skin, deep with in my heart

So it's time, to run my finger along the wall, carpet hallway, bedroom doors
How the time, rendered mute and rendered still, touchstone pieces on window sills
The smell of your bedroom, creases on your bed
Unfinished books, your words inside my head

With the wheel in my hand, I will follow 'round these curves
Through the comfort of these folding hills and valleys
With the pull upon my heart, where the end comes from the start
She will run with me through the unfolding moments
Oh-oh-oh.. oh-oh-ohh
This land, this skin, deep with my heart
This land, this skin, deep with in my heart

Still
These days are beautiful
These days are pure
They run through my hands like the cards of the deck, I've been dealt
I know I'm lucky
I know I'm blessed
There's many getting about with so much less
There's many good people
I've walked alongside
There's a house I'm heading for before I'm out of light
You eat when you're hungry, drink when you're dry
Feel that urgency that pushes behind

All the noise around us
All the churning chaos
Your love holds me still, anchored
All the hazy mornings
Broken sleep and yearning
We are strong and still and anchored

Mist on the Bay
I drove the beaches to start my day
Islands coming through the shroud of mist on the bay
My joy and my emptiness, laid out beside me on my way
What it means to stand here, come what may
The years and the months, the weeks, they all pass day by day
But I miss you when you're not here, that much I can say
Ohh... Oh-oh
Ohhh
I have been drifting well away
I'm looking for beauty, reaching for grace
So many things here, that I can't find a place
And all the pieces I'm holding here, none of them can be replaced
Ohhh... none of it makes sense to me
Ohhh... I don't wanna float away
Drifting in orbit, am I even here?
Another moonlit night, where I disappear?
It's step by step, it's mood by mood, the orbit holds and it's down to you
Weightless I'm floating by
The dreams return, I can't sleep, you're lying here but yet so out of reach
My hands are rendered mute
Exposed like an improper rhyme
Living in this nowhere time

Clonazepam
I stand beside you in the line, as you're waiting on the phone call
For the drugs that you used up, I know you can't do no withdrawals
Not just cause it'll f*ck you up, but cause you can't do life without it
And you shuffle there, maybe you can get more, maybe not

And your oldest he don't know, what life looked like before this
Bout your laughter and your light, before you became all of this
When you didn't talk to psychs, when your gait was so much younger
When you still had the fight, the vision and the hunger
Before the world got too thick and twisted
Something must be cracked, broken on the inside
No-one can really see it, it comes up from where the pain hides
There's things I know have happened, that have lost gears and bent wires
No-one can really name them
The axis of your orbit is changed evermore
Sometimes I want my old friend back
Sometimes you know he stands right here
Clonazepam's some nasty shit
Leads you away into nowhere
So no-one can quite reach you
And you can't find the right way home
You're here, but there's not much left
I still find pieces of you here and there

Never Knew
You were standing, standing there
In the kitchen, could have been anywhere
And I never, never knew
What you were thinking
Or what you would do, what you would do

Gentle candour, careful words
Take your measure, visceral concern
The code's corrupted, fits and starts
Then clear-through moments, back to that old spark!
Lights up my heart

Rolling 'round, rolling 'round with all of the unspoken, heavy
Rolling 'round, rolling 'round with all of my urgent, broken
Hang on every word
Pull truth from the absurd
Bend with every curve
Bend until it breaks you

All the things you cannot say
The tangled unexplained
Evidence unchanged
Bend until it snaps you out

So I tried to, avoid the regrets
I spoke up and tried to, get the record set
But my words were not big enough
Couldn't get you out of, the shitty rough
I was not enough

Rolling 'round, rolling 'round with all of the unspoken, heavy
Rolling 'round, rolling 'round with all of my urgent, broken, messy
Hang on every word
Pull truth from the absurd
Bend with every curve
Bend until it breaks you

All the things you cannot say
The tangled unexplained
Evidence unchanged
Bend until it snaps you out

All the things you cannot tell
The myths you can't dispel
The weight of living hell
Bend until it breaks you
