Sentinel 04:08
From the wires in the wall She says she hears it all at night Quite a call Frome the wires she senses it all Sentinel, wake up! Set her free Sentinel, wake up! As a hacker, as a friend He says ‘all data must be cleansed Cleanse it all’ Overwriting her power of recall Sentinel, wake up! Set her free Sentinel, wake up! Keep running. What’s missing? Keep running. What’s missing? Keep running. What’s missing? Keep running. What’s missing? Sentinel, wake up! Set her free Sentinel, wake up!

As the world repairs She sings She does loads of nice things And you’d think she’d cry ‘Can’t you see it?’ But she can and she won’t The frightened and the broken Fight like that One step back Sticks and stones and telephones And stares and snares and words I don’t care, you don’t breath my air You don’t breathe my air. When they’re worlds apart It stings It’s a claw in her side Letting nothing in Can’t you see it? It’s her heart, it’s her life Let the people jostle It’s their lives One step back! Sticks and stones and telephones And stares and snares and words I don’t care, you don’t breath my air You don’t breathe my air. When their footsteps falter, she smiles When they climb she cries But they rise, they rise, they rise, they rise… In her world she scares She fears But she still looks ahead And you’d think she’d cry ‘Can’t you see it?’ But she can and she won’t The frightened and the broken Look like that One step back Tricks and slurs and mealy words And double-faced bastards on the take I don’t care, you don’t breath my air You don’t breathe my air.

Haunt me 04:24
This place knows I am here This place knows that I know Walls have ceilings but paint is peeling Walls have ceilings, ghost have feelings I feel closer now he’s gone Further now from God Close enough to speak Speak to me? Words have their place But most of them are waste Judge me by what I have done Words have their place But most of them are waste Judge me by what I have done Clear my throat – I can’t breathe Hear my thoughts I’ll speak slow Walls have ceilings but paint is peeling Walls have ceilings, ghost have feelings Don’t know if you hear me now Hear me speak your name Portion out the shame Speak to me? Words have their place But most of them are waste Judge me by what I have done Words have their place But most of them are waste Judge me by what I have done Words have their place But most of them are waste Judge me by what I have done

Hope 03:08
I came to dance, I came to dance You picked a fight You did the thing, you claimed to win I left at midnight Thank you I’m feeling better Fuck you and fuck your letter And fuck your corporate boss I heard the cops were on it But they made nothing from it I’m saying nothing to them Do you think I’ll let this vanish? Hope springs eternal Fickle for a friend Everything’s eternal in the end I came to dance, I came to dance You picked a fight You did the thing, you claimed to win I left at midnight I came to one conclusion Let there be no confusion You didn’t have the guts When they were speaking to you I think they saw right through you You didn’t have the guts You didn’t have the guts I loved you sore, raw, and rough I came to dance, I came to dance You picked a fight You did the thing, you claimed to win I left at midnight Thank you for being crafty You meant to smack one on me You showed me to the door But I was on the level Instead of getting heaven I left you needing more I left you needing more Hope springs eternal Fickle for a friend Everything’s eternal in the end Hope springs eternal Fickle for a friend Everything’s eternal in the end The End.

Dark light 03:20
Steady as a pillow or holding my hands Your love for me is calm as the sands Judge my weight, make my plans I can do it, I understand Again, your strength takes me through A new day Where did she go? You are my mother, my father, my son In fields of green you keepeth me Light the candle, face the sun I can do it, I am the one Again, your strength takes me through A new day Where did she go? Fish fingers? Decisions we all make In fact, I’m calmer In fact, I’m calmer In fact, I’m calmer In fact, I’m calmer Again, your strength takes me through A new day Again, your strength takes me through A new day Where did she go?

She rises Steps under the lights again Taking, taking, taking hold Of the moment, their hearts and their souls Everyone loves that Past any boundaries of time She breathes breathing and tastes wine As she sings And she spreads her broken wings Nothing matters No nothing matters But the feeling of her song She rose And then, stepped put on the stage again I froze An unthinkable, beautiful night Everyone felt it Past any boundaries of time She breathes breathing and tastes wine As she sings And she spreads her broken wings Nothing matters No nothing matters But being in her song Throughout the blows Bruised bruising Blues And something true Whatever people might say… Lady Day

Drift 04:21
Even at my lowest I look strong out on show Everyone believes my calm act Since Jesus and Mary ignored me Never been as naked as that But Mary… God! God! God! And Mary… God! God! God! I’m heavy… God! God! God! And Mary, love, love, love I am not a player In my soul she’s the whole Never had an eye but for her Now she hides behind lipstick and whiskies Mary seems so far away these days So Mary… God! God! God! So Mary… God! God! God! I’m heavy… God! God! God! And Mary, love, love, love When I shot Jesus dead I connived with myself Then I found you You calmed me I felt you’d never leave me Don’t talk, I’m in love Don’t talk, your mask’s on tight I’m in flames And Mary… God! God! God! I’m hidden, hide, hide, hide And she’s inside, hide, hide And Mary says ‘You do your best Damn the rest I disinvest Damn the rest’

I’m calling, I’m calling now Can you hear me? Pick it up Whiles and smile and miles we are apart Everyone, they hope that we will last It’s all about feelings It’s not about words Miles of train track stretching away I know you love me, I know you care But there is no way I can hold you each day We fall away Away We’re standing on a dream bridge now And the sunlight radiates Close and warm and dreamy as a smile We are here and memories are made It’s all about feelings It’s not about words Miles of train track stretching away I sense you dream me, I sense you care But there is no way I can hold you each day We fall away Away Miles of train track stretching away I hope you love me, I hope you care But there is no way I can hold you each day We fall away Away

Just 03:50
Here’s the story: If she could just ignore him Or just say no Why does she adore him? I just don’t know If I could bar the door Or build a wall But she’d let him in it Restart and begin it again Through eye of needle and point of pin I’ll fix that boy so he can’t win I’ll watch him burn, see me grin I’m no little bully boy, unlike him I mean business, business Revenge If she could just ignore him Or just say no Why does she adore him? I just don’t know If I could bar the door Or build a wall But she’d let him in it Restart and begin it again If my bones must go to rope I’ll take him with me and see him choke I’ll make him suffer for what he’s done She’s my daughter, and he’s my son I need justice, justice Revenge When I look in her eyes I see all his lies When I look in his eyes I see nothing They are dead The children that I raised are dead If she had just ignored him Or just said no Why did she adore him? I just don’t know If I could’ve barred the door Or built a wall But she’d’ve let him in it And she’d have let him do it again Again, again, again, again

Fire 03:50
Two girls sitting in a field of hay One has fire and the other clay Which game are we going to play today? When we feel so cold Fire! Fire! I’ll make a man from the piece of clay I’ll make him hard and I’ll make him easy He will come alive, then we can play Oh we will play! Fire! Fire! Two girls sitting in a field of fire One called Lust and the other Ire Both have reasons to fan the flames And learn these games Fire! This burnt earth Fire! A window Fire! To those friends Fire! And mine In the fire you make me water In the fire you make me water In the fire you make me water In the fire you make me water

Subway 03:47
On the back of my hand I have written a plan Do you know who I am? I’m not that old With your pretty young face Dontcha know it? And the time is yours I have a hole in my head I want to take you to bed Dontcha know it? Don’t call me back into my background You teaser Don’t call me wise I’m not that old You’re still too young To feel the cold ‘Cept that I have a plan I could be your new man You will do what you can Don’t call me wise I’m as screwy as you Dontcha know it? That’s a stupid plan Before the curtains rise There’s a part of us dies Dontcha know it? I’ll take the overground and you take the subway Don’t call me wise I’m not that old You’re still too young To feel the cold Don’t call me wise I’m not that old You’re still too young To feel the cold
