Elusive Physical Beast I’m so sick I I’ll flinch, yeah I appear in surreal colour I digest every word you throw at me Watch us burn ever Take a deep breath, every word you must mean I’ll flinch, yeah Disappear in unreal colour When we find out the way away from here Turn and watch us run into the sky Take a deep breath, every word you must Every word you must mean I won’t move You must prove You can’t wait Patience is now and violence is next I won’t move You must prove You can’t wait Patience is now and violence is next You must learn You must learn That I will not stand for this but I will stand victorious

The Few 05:45
The Few My adrenaline’s fixed now A map in my hand Gonna follow the sun home Back to my sand Got my harness strapped tight Clutched to my chest Push me in full throttle My plane soars high We love our country And families Sacrificing our For powers greed The engines burn white Subsonic speeds Gonna shatter my wind shield As I cross the trees There’s deafening thunder As we become The Few You’ll remember our legacy Left on to you Bring me my trophy You owe us that much And our loved ones give us The greatest touch My adrenaline’s fixed now I got my map in my hand I’m gonna follow the sun home Back to my sand And a photo with your smile and the children’s laughter It’s the warmest feeling, all that we wish for To be held where it’s safe and warm at night We will lie together, out of sight And a photo with your smile and the children’s laughter It’s the warmest feeling, all that we wish for To be held where it’s safe and warm at night We will lie together, out of sight

Cloak and Question You will never leave me alone We’ve lost all friends our loves, our lives our homes Memories of what we used to believe in Shrouded in mystery, who’s next Me You fail to recognise yourself When you look into the skies Don’t come crawling after us this time I have lost too much to go on But not quite enough to take you on my own Opportunities should be taken when they’re ripe Not taken when they’re faded and lost out of sight You Why can’t you help us any more You have wasted all our time There’s no one left to help us cross the line Me You fail to recognise yourself When you look into the skies Don’t come crawling after us this time Me You fail to recognise yourself When you look into the skies Don’t come crawling after us this time

Home 07:10
Home I’m over loaded and I’m driven to the end I’m not hot or cold but my skin still defends It’s really simple, I just can’t see you And I’m overcome by the edge And I feel like I’ve been let down again And I cannot tell if it’s me or something else It’s impossible to see where we’re heading now the light has gone So I sweat my last and I bleed out fast and I slip away And I’m struggling to get this off my chest Constricting me along with all the rest It’s never easy, you’re the one I need But you’re vanishing somewhere in the breeze And I feel like I’ve been let down again And I cannot tell if it’s me or something else It’s impossible to see where we’re headed now the light has gone So I sweat my last and I bleed out fast and I slip away I enjoy the chilling feeling Creepy as it sounds I understand and there’s a blinking Up there at the closing of the cave And as I watch you watching me I become scared and press my hands against my face and let the tears flood my eyes And I feel like I’ve been let down again And I cannot tell if it’s me or something else It’s impossible to see where we’re headed now the light has gone So I sweat my last and I bleed out fast and I slip away

Sunken Sea 03:33
Sunken Sea I’m getting lost on my way to the edge I’m sick and tired of trying to find you White lines and valley of vodka Straight faced from a heart attack And wraps around my knuckles Wast time chasing me And the storm will tear my skin from bone With a full force, like a thousand years
