The Vanishing
05:02

I could disappear and leave without a trace
From this world, I've left the human race
Nobody sees me, nobody sees me
Sees me anymore
No life is perfect, no life is perfect
No life anymore
Pulling away from gravity
Pushing away from humanity
One last breath of society
I could drift away, and leave an empty space
Close my eyes, I've left this broken place
Somebody seize me, somebody seize me
Seize me evermore
Lifeline imperfect, lifeline imperfect
A lifeline nevermore
Pulling away from gravity
Pushing away from humanity
One last breath of society
You'll miss me when I'm gone
You'll miss me when I'm gone
You'll miss me when I'm gone
(Nobody sees me, nobody sees me... sees me anymore)
(No life is perfect, no life is perfect... no life anymore)
Only love can fill the holes within your soul
(Somebody seize me, somebody seize me... seize me evermore)
Only love can fill the holes within your soul
Only love can fill the holes within your soul

Shadows On The Sun
04:09

Like shadows on the sun
That scars on the soul
I can't take it, I can't take it
What's going on?
And as the darkness is rising
My light is getting dim
I can't shake it, I can't shake it
What's going on?
Do you see anything?
Do you feel anything?
Walking 'round in circles all the time
Will you see anything?
Will you feel anything?
Drowning in the moment treading blind
Like cracks in earth
That flower through this birth
I mistake it, I mistake it for what's going on
And as the sand slides away
Imprisoned in this constant state
I can't take it, I won't take it
But it's going on
Do you see anything?
Do you feel anything?
Walking 'round in circles all the time
Will you see anything?
Will you feel anything?
Drowning in the moment treading blind
Will you see anything?
Will you feel anything?
Walking 'round in circles all the time
Do you feel anything?
Will you see anything?
Drowning in the moment treading blind
Treading blind

The pressure overhead
Walls closing in
Memories of the daffodils
And the silence in the room
And I choke
Whispers through sleep
Breathing to a beat
Panic to find the words
And the scream within the room
And I choke
The mundane of routine
A touch sears the skin
Bluntness of the cold blade
And the tears they begin again
And I choke
And I choke
Pushing, slipping and I choke
Pushing, sleeping and I choke
Pushing, slipping and I choke
Pushing, sleeping and I choke
Pushing, slipping and I choke
Pushing, sleeping and I choke
And I choke
And I choke

Is it in my head?
Or is it in my heart?
Questions go unanswered through the tether of your bark
In the background I see trees
Its shade and light so deep
But in the foreground teasing me is life no longer ceased
And it's blossoming with ease
It's colourless to me
This deep dark heart
Can you see what I see?
Can you feel the breeze?
Antlers aloft through trees so green, destroys serenity
It cuts diagonally and splits this frame in three
A Magritte view of symmetry torments and comforts me
It pulls from underneath
It's slowly taking seed
In this deep dark heart
This deep dark heart
So in control
A hurricane inside
Layers underneath
A perfect guide
Show me how it feels to sleep and simply breathe
To escape into the dreams, conquer duplicity
It's lucid and it's sealed with cattle eyes surreal
A cloud across a moonlit scene slices so deeply
It's opening to bleed
And fallen endlessly
Into the deep dark heart
Is it in my head?
Or is it in my heart?

The hardest thing to do
Is to prove you exist
With every single coat that you paint erased
And I'm gone
(Nobody sees me)
And I'm gone
(Nobody sees me)
We've failed to reverse light
Refracting in this life
The oceans are empty
The deepest shades of blue remain
And we're gone
(Nobody sees me)
(Nobody sees me)
We're falling out of reach
Endless in this fear
The skies shift in their hues
The emptiness in space appears
And we're gone
(Nobody sees me)
And we're gone
(Nobody sees me)
And I'm gone
