Cassowary 03:12
Move on, I suppose The host with the most I’ll open a can of worms And no-one learns Got lost in a maze Though sweeter the cold And no more a mention of The one-man show I was in love with the world We’d shoot up heaven with nowhere to be I’ve cut all the ties with nothing left If you’d be so kind Abide with me My echo (echo) At the foot of the mount Came wrapped and dispatched from where I threw myself  All zealous the fans  Stream blood on demand I fought your outrageous war Til I could no more I was in love with the world We’d shoot up heaven with nowhere to be I’ve cut all the ties with nothing left If you’d be so kind Abide with me Like a cassowary I am temporary All that can be Can't be done

Black Heart 03:21
Black heart tells a story Blood and war from the battleground Man down In fact all around See the dawn, though you left a trail Who will love you now, Sailor? Who will love you now, Sailor? Move slow, like an animal Diamond dogs  Merely loose change Doomed heart I told you not to feel Lest the boy Slip through your willing hands Who will love you now, Sailor? Who will love you now, Sailor? Black heart tells a story Diamond dogs Merely loose change

Face full of machines The host of all things Cut me, you’ll see I bleed out dopamine This shallow, we go Head like a hole A new low We’re moving into overload In the car, in the fields, on the beach Reach me Unabated, elevated, denigrated Out of patience Half-pai century  In the bus, in the bed, at the bar Reach me Undercover, in a lover, flick a trigger Automation I’m your server: Be free! “Lets shape that appeal!” It knows how I feel Tracked by the algorithms on attack Face full of machines We’re broken, it seems Too much of everything at light speed

Roelof 03:17
First he gave away The clothes she wore He couldn’t bear to see them anymore Coz she’s not gonna wear them One more time Farewell, goodnight He placed her jewels In the hands of other girls They’d never look as good Under the pearls He threw out everything From her life Farewell, goodnight I said “I’d stand beside you” You said “you’d stand beside me” too Now I’m lost and I’ve lost you In the shadow of your wings of your wings He donned his suit From the day she took his name And within his car Before he slipped away He said: “My love is dead! My one delight Farewell, goodnight”

Feels like heaven when I’m with you Feels like manna and it’s begun Take me there Take me there Feels like colours upon my skin Prose no meaning without the arms I’m in Take me there Take me there Running down the hours  Just to be with you Take me to the waters I’d trade my life for a living well Take me there

Will death become the maiden? Swallowed in the time of tears? Have I been forsaken? Coz it feels like that Crimson coloured portion Your body is a feast  I pray If death becomes the maiden It’ll be ok Through the cross I go There to find relief And the thing I know - You broke in me a masterpiece You broke in me a masterpiece I only saw you faintly Enough to give up everything But shadows will not take me It just looks like that Walk me through the valley Bitter waters be my name  If death becomes the maiden It’ll be ok Through the cross I go There to find release And the thing I know - You broke in me a masterpiece You broke in me a masterpiece Lover, do i feel thee? A seal of faith upon my lips Wrap yourself around me I never knew a love like this I never knew a love like this I never knew a love like this

Who decides?  A flick of a fatal dice? Was it borne of solitude, Or swung by a multitude? So many voices talk like They're right beside you But you’re on your own Here come the kamikaze angels Here come the kamikaze angels Fever pitch Peer pressure is a bitch Was something done wrong to you? Were you won by subterfuge? So many voices talk like They’re right beside you But you’re on your own Here come the kamikaze angels Here come the kamikaze angels So tired You feel the poison Told lies - so many voices Baptized, and made a weapon Here come the kamikaze angels Here come the kamikaze angels

Velveteen 02:56
I am a remnant A seed of salvage I spent my days on the cutting floor I’ve been abandoned I don’t want vengeance For a wrong needs no encore It feels not like a loss It leads me to the crossing It feels not like a loss It leads me to the crossing Who weighs the balance?  Who’s sworn allegiance? These are the days when we don’t know I am remnant, like many thousand I see the light underneath your door It feels not like a loss It leads me to the crossing It feels not like a loss It leads me to the crossing It’s the hard way I’m living in splendor I’m living in velveteen

We all want to be free What good’s a heart without a key? We all want to know someone Just to feel true-ish love Ain’t nobody Likes a heartache And no mistake will do We all want someone to trust Just to feel true-ish love Just to feel true-ish love True-ish love

Whither, whether Fall together Someone stopped the time If loves’ indeed a currency No heart’s in short supply If the sky should fall Wouldn’t feel it If darkness struck the dawn Wouldn’t see it  Cover me / don’t cover me  I have no will to hide If love is strong then lead me on For all I want is where you are Someone stop the time We become the night If the sky should fall Wouldn’t feel it If darkness struck the dawn Wouldn’t see it  When our love becomes a light We become the night We become the night

3,000 volumes of The End Of Our Time I scattered them everywhere In the hope that you’d find it I battled my tendencies to rescue you all All the way down All the way down Such a long way to fall Christ encore Life, I cannot endure it but I’m still willing to feel Deep you cut me I can’t make you love me but I’m still willing to bleed I wrote you an omnibus of the end of the world! Full of fantasies, miseries of the average girl The singing grows louder My canary, your mine All the way down All the way down To the end of all time Christ encore Life, I cannot endure it But I’m still willing to feel Deep you cut me I can’t make you love me but I’m still willing to bleed There’s a Guide For All Humankind  For the cruel, for the blind As you brandish your cigarette I lament your demise All the way down All the way down To the end of all time Miriam Clancy: Vocals, Piano, Synth Will Graefe: Electric Guitar Jeremy McDonald: Juno
