This is the bottom line
Let it find you
I’ll go there with you
I guess it’s kinda like
You’re losing all you had held onto
And I can hear it now
Rushing over, rushing to me
You know I’m feeling like
I can’t undo it
Now I’m in too deep
I don’t know what I was thinking
Or what happened over
At the waterline
I don’t know what happened to me
Or where I was swimming
Every other night
This is the bottom line
Let it find you
I’ll go there with you
And I can see a time
When I wound up with
Another case of ills
I don’t know what I was thinking
Or what happened over
At the waterline
I don’t know what happened to me
Or where I was swimming
Every other night
Help me to revive
I’m a liar, I’m alone
Help me to rewind
I’m a liar, I’m alone
Help me to revive
I’m a liar, I’m alone
Help me, help me,
Help me through the storm
Help me, help me, help me
Help me, help me, help me
I guess the bottom line
Is wake up swimming
When you’ve found all you need
I can feel it now
Rushing over, rushing in too
I don’t know what I was thinking
Or what happened over
At the waterline
I don’t know what happened to me
Or where I was swimming
Every other night
Help me to revive
I’m a liar, I’m alone
Help me to rewind
I’m a liar, I’m alone
Help me to revive
I’m a liar, I’m alone
Help me, help me,
help me through the storm
Help me, help me, help me
Help me, help me, help me

Butterflies
04:40
|
|||
I remember trying
To fight the fever
Like you're feeding on your knees
But I don't need it
Starved of life I took your love
And held it under
‘Til I realised
You left your ghost in here
You made it hurt like that
When you came up, to my door
Butterflies in my guts
Butterflies in my mouth
Man, I felt it
I need your fucking love to save me
I need your fucking love to save me
Oh, I needed you
I remember fighting
More light-headed
Like I'm bleeding on my back
But didn't get it
When you came up to my door
Butterflies in my guts
Butterflies in my mouth
Oh, I felt it
I need your fucking love to save me
I need your fucking love to save me
Leaning for your touch, for your touch
Leaning for your love, to save me
Baby don't be like ...
Baby don't leave me out here like ...
Baby don't be like ...
Baby don't leave me out here like ...
Baby don't be like ...
Baby don't leave me out here like ...
Baby don't be like ...
I need your fucking love to save me
I need your fucking love to save me
I need your fucking love to move me
Oh, I needed you

Tidal Fight
04:59
|
|||
I just can’t believe my luck
I was choked up and tied to
The water in my lungs
With a bad thought about where
I’d head when I woke up
I just need to
Connect with you
So I swam ‘til my feet got wet
And the dive belt
That sad weight
Got underneath my skin
Where you bit through and marked me
It lingers like dust in air
It’s the last thing I need from you
I would follow
If I could stand the light against the wall
I would follow
You anywhere but here
And all and all
I know
If anyone has a way to get me home
I’ll go
If anyone has a way to get me home
Well I swam ‘til I was out of touch
Then my nerves broke, and I fell
Into the depths of us
With a loose head that told me
To go back and just give up
But I need to
Connect with you
I would follow
If I could stand the light against the wall
I would follow
You anywhere but here
And all and all
I know
If anyone has a way to get me home
I’ll go
If anyone has a way to get me home
And I’m gone
If anyone has a way to get me home
And I’m done
If anyone has a way to get me home

Frostbitten
03:44
|
|||
I was proper sideways when you said
That we wouldn’t leave together
We were in the mountains all alone
When you drove off, yeah, whatever
Oh, that morning
You were salt on my skin
Oh, that morning
Left us frostbite, frostbitten
You were fucking crazy to believe
That I’d follow you forever
We were sleeping always on timber floors
And I’d sleep there though, whatever
But we were so drunk, most of the time
Oh, that morning
You were salt on my skin
Oh, that morning
Left us frostbite, frostbitten
You’re not a young man anymore
And you know it
Keep us dragging through the reeds with you
And the heartbreaking change
That came over me that day
I was so far from anywhere with you
Oh, that morning
You were salt on my skin
Oh, that morning
Left us frostbite, frostbitten

Finally
04:35
|

Did the mountain start to fall
Did the crowded streets I walked in
Find me against their feet
Far out, gee whiz
I can’t see it
For the fifth time I woke up
With a wooded head, oh god I felt stuck
And finally, I had had too much of me
Finally, I had had too much of me
Finally
Finally
So I was the last one out of bed
Now I’m swollen with the river
That changed me
Oh my, gee whiz
I’m starting to feel it
And finally, I had had too much of me
Finally, it was all my eyes could see
Finally, waking up this thylacine
Finally, I was all I had to be
Finally
Finally

Desert
04:23
|

I know you’ve got your ways to
Show up at my door
Feeling all let down
With you hair onto the floor
I know when you come walking
And the rhythms of your feet
I know when you get let down
And I know it’s always me … whatever
And I was talking to your sister
She came over unannounced
In the night your mother left you
And I hardly made a sound
It was shadows on me
It was shadows on me
It was dark on me
It was dark on me
Whatever, whatever
You go and get stuck in the desert
Whatever, whatever
You go and get stuck in the desert
Whatever, whatever
You go and get stuck in the desert
I still had a bad tooth
That took me to the ground
And you went back to Sydney
But you hardly made a sound
It’s gone out with the water
That drank up me
It’s dead to me, yeah
No, it’s dead to me …
Whatever, whatever
You go and get stuck in the desert
Whatever, whatever
You go and get stuck in the desert
I never, I never
I never go back there, whatever
Whatever, whatever

Otherside
03:51
|
|||
It was kinda like
All my fear crashed at once
In a lonely room
The other side of your love
It was like I’d just run too far
Downhill
I was filling up
Everything I’d emptied out
For another chance
At the world I’d cut down
When the river broke through
Oh, my god, it got me stuck
I was trying to get back to
A time when I just gave a fuck
It was kinda like
Clawing back through running water
For another lung
To breathe in what was gone, yeah
It was like it just got too deep
And man, I give it up
(I should have cut my hands)
Just to show you I was real
(I should have given up all I had)
Take the blood in me, yeah
When the river broke through
Oh, my god, it got me stuck
I was trying to get back to
A time when I just gave a fuck
Just gave a fuck
I don’t wanna feel like I’ve lost anything
Lost anything at all
I just wanna get back to you
Give me a chance to break my fall
Should have cut my hands
Should have given up all I had
Should have cut my hands
Should have given up all I had

Future
05:32
|
|||
I could, I couldn’t
Divorce myself of my future
It hung
All around my bed that day
A sordid place
My dreams all grey
All you’d say
I move this way
Or I move that way
But when you left
My knees went first
And there I broke
They say that when they held you under
You could still breathe
And when they dragged you asunder
You were still free
Laying there with me
Stay out
Late I’m searching
Every night
Streets I’m wandering around
It’s what I needed
Dancing
Like the cold wind does
Fingers
Reaching up above
To the cracks in your window
I’ve found
My upside down
My beating heart
Yeah, and when we kissed
My mind went first
This restless curse
They say that when I held you under
You could still breathe
And when they dragged you asunder
You were still free
Laying there with me

Oh, This House Is Empty
02:32
|
|||
Oh my, oh my, oh
This house is alone
Floating around somewhere
With me in its bones
Late for a meeting
‘Cos I stayed up for her
And no one comes looking
Here anymore
Oh, take me, take me
Back to the end
Where I last spent
The few dollars I had
Trying to forget
A life in this house
That floated in water
And sank silently
Oh, take me, take me
Back to my friends
Where I could swim
With red dirt on my breath
Don’t let me give up on things that we did
Don’t let me forget that we spent it well

Blaze
03:49

Well I got a powerful spirit
And I blaze in all my colour
All I need is right before me
And I got a powerful spirit
And I’ll get my teeth sunk in it
All I need is right before me
Where do we find a way
That’s not a part of falling through this
Somebody lied to me
It’s just the way we’ve always been doing it
So I got a powerful spirit
And I blaze in all my colour
All I need is right before me
And I got a powerful spirit
And I eat the bread soaked in it
All I need is right before me
Where do we find a way
That’s not a part of falling through this
Somebody lied to me
It’s just the way we’ve always been doing it
And all I had to say was that it’s part of me
And all I had to say was that you’re part of me

Black Light
03:54
|

I reckon I’ll leave right now
For a little bit of time with you
I reckon I’ll steal your mouth
So I can get away and you can feel it
I reckon I’ll clear my throat
For a little bit of time with you
It wasn’t that I left this night
It wasn’t that a ghost made you forget it
I reckon I’ll leave right now
‘Cos I don’t wanna be with you
And now I got you in my blood
And it’s the only thing that’s killing me
Don’t you wanna get this body back
Don’t you wanna get some time back
Don’t you wanna have me once more
It’s a part of something I forget
I just wanna get your body back
I just wanna take the time back
I just wanna have you once more
I just wanna have this all the time
I was planning on just running from it
And I should have told you
I’ve got the words I keep them from you
I feel you breaking through my chest
But I don’t wanna feel for you
And now I see you through these lines
And it’s the only thing that’s killing me
Don’t you wanna get this body back
Don’t you wanna get the time back
Don’t you wanna have me all the time
I just wanna have you once more
I was planning on just running from it
I should have told you
I’ve got the words I keep them from you
You couldn’t break the timing
You wanna go back there and revive me
I wanna see what you see
I wanna wake up with your hands on me
I wanna speak the right words
It’s hardly better for us than going backwards
I wish I’d see what you see
I wish you’d come back here to revive me
It’s time to kill this thing off
To make it something that we were proud of
I reckon I’ll leave right now
(I was planning on just running from it)
I reckon I’ll leave right now
(I should have told you)
I reckon I’ll take one hit
For a little bit of time with you
I reckon I’ll leave right now
(I’ve got the words I’ll keep them from you)

Blood Red
04:20
|
|||
I know you come and go
Rushing through town like a flood
Standing outside my door
Now you’re spilling inside here
And the curtains close
Hits me left and right
Hits me down to the floor
If we live and die here
Give me something strong
Won’t you help me find it
Sunlight in the storm
If we wake up swimming
Reaching for the glow
I feel you weighing on me
And I’ve got to let it go
I wish you’d go back home
Ripping through town like a storm
Still the feeling grows
Is it black or white?
Is it here, is it?
If we live and die here
Give me something strong
Won’t you help me find it
Sunlight in the storm
If we wake up swimming
Reaching for the glow
I feel you weighing on me
And I’ve got to let it go
Is there something to it
A feeling I can’t shake
Tie stones to my body
Let the river break
Here I wake up swimming
Reaching for the glow
I feel you weighing on me
And I’ve got to let it go
Let the pain leave my bones
Rushing through town like a flood
I know you come and go
But we’re feeling alive here

City Gets Better
03:38

City won’t get us, it gets better
I could hardly tell, my clothes are wet
Turning in my sleep, I’m somewhere else
There’s no one here like me
The feeling isn’t true
And I keep falling through
And with me now
Biding in the streets that stay at night
Come on, just leave, anywhere will do
City won’t get us, it gets better
A break in my design to keep away
From all the noises sick people made
I’m waiting for something to shake me up from sleep
Anything will do
I’m here enough, I’m here enough
I’m here enough, I’m here enough
I’m here enough, I’m here enough
I’m here for you, I’m here enough
I’m there enough, I’m there enough
I’m there enough, I’m there enough
I’m there enough, I’m there enough
I’m there for you, I’m there enough
I’m there for you
I can hardly tell, my clothes are wet
Turning in my sleep, I’m somewhere else
There’s no one here like me
The feeling isn’t true
I’m here enough, I’m here enough
I’m here enough, I’m here enough
I’m here enough, I’m here enough
I’m here for you, I’m here enough
I’m there enough, I’m there enough
I’m there enough, I’m there enough
I’m there enough, I’m there enough
I’m there for you, I’m there enough
I’m there for you
City won’t get us, it gets better
I’m here enough, I’m here enough
I’m here enough, I’m here enough
I’m here enough, I’m here enough
I’m here for you, I’m here enough
I’m there enough, I’m there enough
I’m there enough, I’m there enough

I fall in all you do
A glade in the garden, fog in the dark night
I fall to stay with you
Bathe in the cold earth
Wait for the morning
You set the tone and I’ll be alright
You set the flame by the doorway
Let it be my light
You set the tone and I’ll be alright
You said the cold couldn’t burn us
We’re alright, alright
Can I be your fascination all night?
‘Cos you hold the feeling in the room
But you want the beat, I need the tune
Hoping the pieces, they’ll just fall right
Whatever happened, me and you
No idea what I’ll do
Stand on the corner, hang in the moonlight
You cable-tied my ideas
Told me to be forthright
I’ll go check my eyesight
You set the tone and I’ll be alright
You set the flame by the doorway
Let it be my light
You set the tone and I’ll be alright
You said the cold couldn’t burn us
Can I be your fascination all night?
‘Cos you hold the feeling in the room
But you want the beat, I need the tune
Hoping the pieces, they’ll just fall right
Stand at your door I felt that cold like
(You are somebody)
Like I’m a ghost inside your room
(You are somebody)
And I’ll never go back home
(You are somebody)
‘Cos I don’t wanna be alone
(You are somebody)
I gotta keep on myself
Keep on, keep on, keep on
I gotta keep on myself
Just cut the cord and I’ll be alright
Just cut the cord, cut the cord
Can I be your fascination all night?
‘Cos you hold the feeling in the room
But you want the beat, I need the tune
Hoping the pieces, they’ll just fall right
Stand at your door I felt that cold like
(You are somebody)
Like I’m a ghost inside your room
(You are somebody)
And I’ll never go back home
(You are somebody)
‘Cos I don’t wanna be alone
(You are somebody)
I hear the echo down the hall
Like you were never there at all
Just leave me down here

Atlas

Out on the run from everything we’ve been through
And all we’ve done yeah, everything was for you
It’s falling down, all that we held onto
I feel it sinking, I feel it breaking through
I needed light, moving through the streets ‘til
Two in the morning, waking up the neighbourhood
That’s when it’s done, there’s nothing to step onto
Only the deep blue
You told me I would be, out there, Atlas, somewhere
You told me I would be, the best that you had ever had
You told me I would be, Atlas, for you
You told me I would be, out there, with you
I get, get, get to the water’s edge
I get, get to the water’s edge
I get to the water’s edge
I hold my breath yeah, I brace myself
I get to the water’s edge
I get, get, get to the water’s edge
I get to the water’s edge
I get myself to the water’s edge
Out on the run from everything we’ve been through
And all we’ve done yeah, all of it was for you
I fight it down just moving with the feeling
There’s no escaping, I can hear it breathing
I feel it outside, moving through the streets ‘til
Two in the morning, waking up the neighbourhood
That’s when it’s done, there’s nothing to step onto
Only the deep blue
You told me I would be, out there, Atlas, somewhere
You told me I would be, the best that you had ever had
You told me I would be, Atlas, for you
You told me I would be, out there, with you
I get, get, get to the water’s edge
I get, get to the water’s edge
I get to the water’s edge
I hold my breath yeah, I brace myself
I get to the water’s edge

As I lay in a state by the garden
I was keeping a hand on my beer
I stole a sip to let loose my designs
So I was free, I was free
Oh, I feed this state when I’m wide out
Just to keep on the path of your love
I was stalled in fate, no ideas running wild
But honestly, honestly
I’m ready for it
I’ve got my teeth set
And I’m ready for it
No lessened ideas
And I’m ready for it
Unless I don’t get there
I stay the course, so I can say what I feel
I drift through the layers of my sandwich
I float through words
Can I get to a state, for a final escape?
So forlorn, I get it
There are days when my dinner don’t feed me
There are streets that don’t take me somewhere
But I’m stalled in fate, no ideas running wild
But honestly, honestly
I’m ready for it
I’ve got my teeth set
And I’m ready for it
No lessened ideas
And I’m ready for it
Unless I don’t get there
I stay the course, so I can say what I feel
Torture framed by a fire
And I’m ready for it
Silence dulled by red wine
And I’m ready for it
Unless I don’t get there
I’m ready for it
I’ll stay the course, so I can say what I feel

Fever Highs
03:47
|

Oh, I built up a fever just sitting out the back out there
Won't you come and hold me for a moment
Stuck around the pool I grew up in
And through I waded
Won't you help me find a way
There's something so fierce about the back of your tongue, I
I was just waiting for your orbit
The noise that I was making, forgot that I was calling
I'm calling, I'm calling, I'm calling out c..., c..., c...
Oh, right before the tide went
Took me from the branches
Cut me there, in open air
I just let it happen
I'm all out of focus
And I'm all out of pain
There's nothing there, just open air
I'm falling with the rain
So lock jaw and pick my face I sit and think about my father
He's just another feather for my armour
Check the bible, check my wallet, another tip for my survival
I'm dolling out, keep dolling out and draw it in like water now
Oh, right before the tide went
Took me from the branches
Cut me there, in open air
I just let it happen
I’m all out of focus
And I'm all out of pain
There's nothing there, just open air
I'm just falling with the rain
A hammer for
A hammer for the pain
Cut me there, in open air
And I just let it happen
You, you, you, you lost it
You gotta get out of there
Leaving the bedroom bare
Oh, you, you, you, you, honey you lost it
You gotta get out of there
Leaving the bedroom bare
Oh, you, you, you, you, you vanished before my loving
Vanished before my loving
Vanished before my loving, loving oh
You, you, you, you, you vanished before my loving
Vanished before my loving
Vanished before my loving, loving oh
You, you, you, you, you vanished before my love
Vanished before my loving
Vanished before my loving, loving, loving oh

Have enough faith for love, enough faith
Have enough faith for love, enough faith
I have enough faith for love, enough faith
Have enough faith for love, enough faith
And in a distant fire
There is a burning for you
And in my cold desire
I am frosted through
In every thread I find
I tie a bow here for you
So you can stride out
So you can find some ground
Where’s the light appearing
For the love I’m feeling
Give your face and nothing else
High up on the ceiling
Shimmer down revealing
Broken pieces, I will piece them back myself
I took a trip last night
To swim in arctic waters
We’re all tightrope walkers
You see me tumble down
Where’s the light appearing
For the love I’m feeling
Give your face and nothing else
High up on the ceiling
Shimmer down revealing
Broken pieces, I will piece them back myself
Have enough faith for love, enough faith
Have enough faith for love, enough faith
I have enough faith for love, enough faith
Have enough faith for love, enough faith
