Stay 03:54

In your eyes you see me dying slowly No surprise I see you walking away Coals of fire burning over your head On your mind is only more of the same Eeh eeh eeh eeh Even if you couldn’t stay here with us we’ll make it okay Only for a little bit longer We will be marching to the beat of your drum Louder and to you we’ll succumb Only for a little bit longer Don’t hold me back Don’t hold me back Don’t hold me back And I won’t hold you back Don’t hold me back Don’t hold me back Don’t hold me back And I won’t hold you back Even if you couldn’t stay here with us we’ll make it okay Only for a little bit longer We will be marching to the beat of your drum Louder and to you we’ll succumb Only for a little bit longer Eeh eeh eeh eeh In your eyes you see me fighting for life No surprise I see you walking my way All this time I’ve been shining a light In your heart we’ve found a place I can Stay Stay Gone gone we will be Gone gone we will be Gone gone we will be Gone gone we will be Gone gone Don’t hold me back Don’t hold me back Don’t hold me back And I won’t hold you back Even if you couldn’t stay here with us we’ll make it okay Only for a little bit longer We will be marching to the beat of your drum Louder and to you we’ll succumb Only for a little bit longer Even if you couldn’t stay here with us we’ll make it okay Only for a little bit longer We will be marching to the beat of your drum Louder and to you we’ll succumb Only for a little bit longer

Heat 04:06

Running dry, draining all our energy Can you smell the burning wells in the vicinity? We sink sink sink, we're on the brink Of a chemical catastrophe Fire away fire away ‘Til there’s nothing left to burn Fire away fire away ‘Til there’s nothing left to burn Don’t move Don’t move Breathing life into nothing hoping helplessly Can you see as haze and smoke block visibility? Heat heat heat, too many feet Cue the chemical catastrophe Fire away fire away ‘Til there’s nothing left to burn Fire away fire away ‘Til there’s nothing left to burn Don’t move Don’t move Don’t move

To The Lions 02:38
lyrics

Save me save me I’m dying slowly and you won’t even notice Because you’re sleeping instead of dreaming with me Save me save me save me from your glory To the lions you’ve been feeding me I’m underwater making waves to keep moving Because you’re running after not with me Cave in cave in cave in to my freedom With the lions you’ve been sharing me I’m looking closely to see someone familiar Because you’re perpetrating against me Break me break me break me without reason For the lions you’re preparing me I’m falling down and you won’t throw me a lifeline Because you’re turning a blind eye over me Wake me wake me wake me from this fear Of the lions feasting on their kill Throw me a lifeline line Throw me to live lions

Oceans 03:22
lyrics

We move our arms we move our legs We move all of our bodies Escape the water in our heads Breaking waves to bring us closer We are swimming but we swim in different oceans We are swimming but we swim in different oceans And the current won’t bring us round round round Ra-round the current won’t bring us round round round Ra-round We’re miles apart from our depart Nowhere close to taking shelter Inside our hearts we know Someday there will be movement Aah aah aah ah ah Aah aah Breaking waves to bring us closer We are swimming but we swim in different oceans We are swimming but we swim in different oceans And the current won’t bring us round round round Ra-round the current won’t bring us round And the current won’t bring us round round round Ra-round We’ve built a safe space but we don’t save space Unless you come with a similar face No time for side-eye but we’re side by side Only with someone who rides the same tide x2 And the current won’t bring us round round round Ra-round the current won’t bring us round round round Ra-round the current won’t bring us round round round The current won’t bring us round round round Ra-round the current won’t bring us round
