quiet song 03:52
Quiet Song Call your heart open for want of a better word It's seen 'bout enough now to deem it needs more you're not passing the basket nor asking for coin or answering an invitation waiting for a cause to join You hid your opinion like a candle held up to the sun you practised retelling the tales the others had spun of fate and of fable how we've now become yearning for some inspiration you're waiting for your turn to come down pour the minutes up builds the well i'll try to hide it but you can tell the silence that followed the whisper you sent through the leaves spoke of a treasure both buried and never retrieved the moment both broken by the window and day weighing up the situation a different way

Ghosts / The Curtain I got myself to thinking that there's ghosts you told me no, there's no such spirits hammered out, a middle ground unfolded, no one need ever know i told you this might take up all my time you showed me how there's no such limit bounded to the trail you leave behind no one need ever find if you find a difference, i'll find the time it's all on the outside now how i hope you're right you cut out the chaos and threw in some calm to give us a scale of where we're from a certain light, a wilful light that little push and then an upward pull toward the colourful a pull toward the colourful you always seemed certain i couldn't concede as you drew the curtain to reveal a certain light, a wilful light, that little push and then an upward pullllllllll toward the colourful a pull toward the colourful i got myself to thinking that we're ghosts
3.
The Early Stage There was a chain, a certain chain a little series of events and, at the start, a simple game didn't need to make sense there was a catch, there was a key we just didn't know to look what little chance for breaking free? or even seeing what that might've took we fell for the early stage whatever that means but it ought to mean something you still mean something to me there was a change, a certain change one that no one else could see we'd been pulling at the reins seems that hill had gotten mighty steep we fell for the early stage whatever that means but it ought to mean something you still mean something to me

key i see 02:02
Key I See Now that you've started can you keep up, keep a keen eye open? well i hope you can understand it's a key i see you're holding in your hand As I understand it, there's a plan to get a move on well i hope you do see it through there's a door before you, you know what to do you can't afford to fail to plan it's a key i see you're holding Our conversation runs just a little like a slow train where every station stop is a waiting game state your name and destination you can't afford to fail to plan it's a key i see you're holding
5.
You Contender There's a girl outside with the window down in a car behind sunglasses with a pen in hand, she's been writing 'bout the moment as it passes there's a boy inside by the windowsill but the curtain keeps him hid he's been saying sorry for so long now, they've forgotten what he did look at you contender in your starting position look at you contender holding on there's a time and place for a traffic jam with the lights all frozen red it's as good a space as any, on reflection, to look at you contender in your starting position look at you contender just holding on i caught a glimpse of us in the middle now ever since we're just holding on just holding on
6.
ever since 02:42
Ever Since i might just have to step back for a sec and get my thoughts on track you're the reason they keep turning back the cause of my concern, i learned from the echoes i get talkin' to couldn't ever mean that much to you scattered words like startled birds surround me ever since you found me out while my guards up, part of me has to think you sussed my armour out a certain chink you'd just been skirting round the cause of the confusion: me refusing to believe we hadn't recognised how we never planned to compromise scattered words like startled birds surround me ever since you found me out
7.
someone will 02:49
Someone Will I'm puzzled by the words we keep inside I've never even met your eyes For everything we've ever tried, they said Leave it alone, son, don't you know we can't both be wrong? You get some just not this one. We travel on a trail that's still being built won't see the end but someone will for every night the sky might spill with the words spoken returning like an echo (saying) You get some just not this one. Forgetting 'bout the day we left behind I shouldn't pay it any mind For every night the sky might blind you with the words spoken returning like an echo (saying) You get some just not this one.

Niqāb blue 02:59
- niqāb blue - There's a girl out there with a niqāb headdress and the only sight that shines is her heart-filled eyes that belie the distress of this old donned disguise you won't see her passing she don't say hello noone gets to meet her smile it's been a lonely ceremony this last while there's a knowing stare when she meets a sister but it's no more than a pause in her weighed-down days all because of some old crazy clause she won't lose her habit this honour bestowed they say that it's the latest style but it's been a lonely ceremony this last while
9.
little soul 02:59
Little Soul Say, when did they change the rule? I must've missed that, i must've missed that day in school So, we'll go and start anew maybe that's what we do oh, precious few, keep on your toes, nobody knows which way this may go - And it ain't my, ain't my idea of a good time So i'll walk slower and take down notes you plough forward but do stay close oh little soul, so sure what to do, See you've been sold only one little point of view - And it ain't my idea of a good time, it ain't my, ain't my idea of a good time
