The Pragmatist (Extended Version) 04:33
lyrics
Button your shirt Straighten your tie You got the world coming down on your shoulders Step in your shoes but not out the door Spare yourself yet another disease You spend your days alone Afraid of a fear you can never define So sharpen your knife and put on your coat Now you're ready There's no use in breaking codes if the answer's not what you need There's no truth to what you know if you can't see what you believe You're not a clone You know yourself like a brother The little details only drive you out of your mind It's never gonna be the same It's never gonna be the same It's never gonna be the same It's never gonna be the same You classify and you categorise or else succumb to the depths of disorder You've got the fire but you can't see the light You burned you hands at the shrine of defeat You spend your days alone Afraid of a fear you can never define So take shower cos you leave in an hour Now it's over There's no use in breaking codes if the answer's not what you need There's no truth to what you know if you can't see what you believe You're not a clone You know yourself like a brother The little details only drive you out of your mind It's never gonna be the same It's never gonna be the same It's never gonna be the same It's never gonna be the same You don't have to remind me I got no grace You don't have to remind me it's not the same You don't have to remind me I got no grace You don't have to remind me it's never gonna be the same There's no use in breaking codes if the answer's not what you need There's no truth to what you know if you can't see what you believe You're not a clone You know yourself like a brother The little details only drive you out of your mind It's never gonna be the same It's never gonna be the same It's never gonna be the same It's never gonna be the same

Dead End Conversations 05:17
lyrics
You know the lines You got the chords And now the congregation’s hanging on your every word Don't have to be so cynical And if I walk into that sea I'd only find the waves are pushing down on me To wash me back onto the shore Anticipation got us racing through this dead end conversation Going round in circles again And now I'm making you a promise Wouldn't take it to be honest If only I hear your heart beat loud One day I'll make you proud I hear your heart It's beating louder One day I'll show you how I'll tell you this I'll make a bet Those better days we haven't even seen them yet Just close your eyes and I'll see you there If love is meant to define us Inspire us Then tell me why are we so silent I think that love is more like a tool sharpened over time Anticipation got us racing through this dead end conversation Going round in circles again And now I'm making you a promise Wouldn't take it to be honest If only I hear your heart beat loud One day I'll make you proud I hear your heart It's beating louder One day I'll show you how Thought you had me Well I got you Thought you had me Well I got you now Thought you had me Well I got you Thought you had me Well I got you now Thought you had me Well I got you Thought you had me Well I got you now Thought you had me Well I got you Thought you had me I hear your heart beat loud One day I'll make you proud I hear your heart It's beating louder One day I'll show you how I hear your heart beat loud One day I'll make you proud I hear your heart It's beating louder One day I'll show you how Thought you had me Well I got you Thought you had me Well I got you now Thought you had me Well I got you Thought you had me Well I got you now Thought you had me Well I got you Thought you had me Well I got you now Thought you had me Well I got you Thought you had me Well I got you now

Cold Logic 03:32
lyrics
They say it comes in waves but it makes no sound But it's more like a trickle and now I'm standing here with water all around I am lost in the mire I am caught Paralysed And words still make no sound Remember all the times you had to turn away And entertain the thought of going straight again And words still make no sound Clever boy you found yourself another way of digging in your heels and stepping on the brakes And words still make no sound It cuts through the din like a whisper in the rain It comes creeping in and now I'm waist deep in the water once again The tide is high and the river's overflowing And still I don't know which way I'm going I will wade out to the other side I will drown in truths I can't deny I am lost in the mire I am caught Paralysed And words still make no sound Remember all the times you had to turn away And entertain the thought of going straight again And words still make no sound Clever boy you found yourself another way of digging in your heels and stepping on the brakes And words still make no sound And words still make no sound

Something To Die For 05:06
lyrics
It's been so long since I slept for a solid eight hours and I don't dare to dwell the sun Look into the great unknown and read the signs that say your life has only just begun It's been so long since I opened my eyes and now they're turning into bottomless holes in my skull I've come to realise that the fact that I'm alive's a minor miracle You made me just to break me and forsake me Just lay me down or we'll never see a better life together Dig ourselves out of this grave The noose gets higher and tighter Make an offer that I just can't ignore And give me something to die for Just cut me down and leave me on the floor Take a look across the horizon It's ok to always long for something more When the world all ends in a fire Just close your eyes and kiss me like before It's been so long since the last time I had to go out Now my body slowly turns into stone I've had the strangest dreams I find it harder to believe that I've been here before It's been so long since I stood in front of someone else's fire I've become so accustomed to the cold Had my share of bad ideas Now I've taken all my fears and put them down a hole You made me just to break me and forsake me Just lay me down or we'll never see a better life together Dig ourselves out of this grave The noose gets higher and tighter Make an offer that I just can't ignore And give me something to die for Just cut me down and leave me on the floor Take a look across the horizon It's ok to always long for something more When the world all ends in a fire Just close your eyes and kiss me like before Now my heart is growing heavy And my arms are growing weak And my head is growing weary But I'll never get to sleep Now my voice is growing stronger Still not loud enough to speak I never Still never I never see the fall Til the ground is on me The noose gets higher and tighter Make an offer that I just can't ignore And give me something to die for Just cut me down and leave me on the floor Take a look across the horizon It's ok to always long for something more When the world all ends in a fire Just close your eyes and kiss me like before It's ok to always long for something more Just close your eyes and kiss me like before

Dispossession 03:44
lyrics
Here we go Sick and tired of always being tired You've been down so long Feels like falling away Spend your days haunted by a dream you don't remember You've been down so long Feels like falling away Now I've tried to do my best and be a better man No I won't give giving up a second thought If I can't keep my promise then I'll cast myself out into space Now I can't appreciate the things I've got Because my mind can only concentrate on what I'm not So I'll never see a better day without you or your embrace How are you Yeah I'm doing fine Like I'd forgotten You've been down so long Feels like falling away How have you been Nothing to report I'm going nowhere You've been down so long. You're falling away You got smoke in your eyes And fog in your mind So you'll never find Those answers that you're looking for One day they may appear to another you Now I've tried to do my best and be a better man No I won't give giving up a second thought If I can't keep my promise then I'll cast myself out into space Now I can't appreciate the things I've got Because my mind can only concentrate on what I'm not So I'll never see a better day without you or your embrace Never see a better day No better day without you There’s no better day without you Never see a better day No better day without you There’s no better day without you

My Own Wilderness 03:23
lyrics
I always take my fears and make them physical And how my children have grown And when that better life seems so impossible I'll tell you secrets unknown Now we open our eyes like we're back from the dead And we run through the night Never be afraid So I'll keep writing sad songs while you keep us both sane So we take to the skies and repeat to fade I like the minor keys and notes that break the chords They keep the demons at bay And when that rhythm's flowing through me like a clock I'll waste the hours away Now we open our eyes like we're back from the dead And we run through the night Never be afraid So I'll keep writing sad songs while you keep us both sane So we take to the skies and repeat to fade In spite of all these fears I hold You've never seen me at my best In spite of all these dreams I've sold Don't stop until there's nothing left Now we open our eyes like we're back from the dead And we run through the night Never be afraid So I'll keep writing sad songs while you keep us both sane So we take to the skies and repeat to fade And repeat to fade And repeat to fade And repeat to fade

See It Through 06:29
lyrics
I subscribe to the theory that life is a series of failures All these small simple steps only lead to another dead end Take all of my money and burn all my worldly possessions I'd do anything to get rid of this healthy obsession Still stepping on those cracks But they're only broken slabs In the stillness of a scene you might miraculously see it's not so far to fall In this unforgiving sea you might give up and not say anything at all Boot the hinges off the door and put the pedal to the floor and don't you ever break Just turn the sail until you see those better days are coming up ahead When you finally muster the courage to step out the door You look down at your feet and work out what they're really used for You got no reservations and without hesitation you go You make off down the street and look forward into the unknown Still stepping on those cracks But they're only broken slabs In the stillness of a scene you might miraculously see it's not so far to fall In this unforgiving sea you might give up and not say anything at all Boot the hinges off the door and put the pedal to the floor and don't you ever break Just turn the sail until you see those better days are coming up ahead It doesn't matter at all who we are now things have changed Took so long to untie all the wires in my brain The time is now and I don’t know how we’re still sane But I'm not alone And I'm not afraid No I'm not alone And I'm not afraid In the stillness of a scene you might miraculously see it's not so far to fall In this unforgiving sea you might give up and not say anything at all Boot the hinges off the door and put the pedal to the floor and don't you ever break Just turn the sail until you see those better days are coming up ahead Still stepping on those cracks But they're only broken slabs I subscribe to the theory the life is a series of failures Take those small simple steps and we'll both see it through to the end
