The Crown
06:11
|
|||
Torn from earth and home,
Declared missing with land disowned,
Colonies of the crown,
Claim that theirs is what is found,
Blood spills in ten canoes,
Burial rites we refuse,
Cities built on red sand,
Which is where I stand,
It all means nothing,
It all falls through,
And they're still left outside,
Refused refuge.

Frogg

I can't seem to find myself today,
Through this fog of spite and hate,
Dusting off this old third eye,
Look inside, maybe I'll find.
A self-imposed panopticon,
Watching myself, gazing upon,
Habits trap me in perpetual gloom,
Lift the lid, reveal my doom.
I can't seem to breathe again today,
Medicate for this futures sake,
Head in the sand with a smile on your face,
Submit to your place, do it with grace,
An imposed panopticon,
Watching my friends gazing upon,
Habits trap us in perpetual gloom
Lift the lid, escape your tomb.

Nova - Never Came
03:19
|
|||
You said you would,
You never came,
You're to blame for everything.
Expecting more than I should,
Accepting you're out of my control,
You're not to blame for anything,
My heads in my own hands.
(I still miss you; the germ of affection never left. But the discord between us, the friction, corroded your veneer away. I'll never see you the same again.)

Nova - Wade
02:45
|
|||
She's diving down, we think she's given up.
She's wading slow, against the undertow.
Life wading, arduous, life wading.
She's drifting by opportunity,
Her head's held high, despite gravity.
(Life's more like drowning than dancing. But there's an elegance to it.)
