Fanfare

Something must be done
The end of everything
Without consequence
Melted my vision away
With a fanfare
It's only a matter of time
It's only matter dismantling
We should not have seen this
It's terrible to witness
With a fanfare
With a fanfare

What a way to ruin everything
The ruminations continuing
What did you expect would happen here?
I'm all the things I want to disappear
Another humiliating masterpiece
And this idiot goes to speak again
Moving from one embarrassing scene to the next
I'm all the things I want to remove
Here comes a grotesque mess on repeat
Recurring disgust, replaying mistakes
This animal deserves a violent exit
I'm all the things I want to forget

They look right through you now
As if you were never here
It doesn't matter how
Nobody can recall
All of our memories disappear
A lifetime long gone
And you will be forgotten
And you will be forgotten
Your chapters start to erase
Your moments have passed by
Every trace has been cleared away
Existence undone
And you will be forgotten
And you will be forgotten
Your tapestry will be unpicked
Your story removed stitch by stitch
Your story removed
And you will be forgotten
And you will be forgotten

The Dip
02:38

Dust
Falls in the hole between us
Forms in the void between us
We'll hold our will until
We can't
Oh, someday
Comes the dip
Oh, someday
Fog
Covers the look between us
Smothers the words between us
We'll hide our want until
We can't
Oh, someday
Comes the dip
Oh, someday
Oh, someday

The Dead Stems

I'm the point where it all comes to end
When it takes me
And I'm destroyer of names
Owner of the last days
And I'm destroyer of names
I spectate whilst history rots away
And as the line stalls
And I'm destroyer of names
Incapable to compete
And I'm destroyer of names
We are the dead stems
And I'm destroyer of names
We are the dead stems
And I'm destroyer of names
I've succumbed to closing out the show
A fruitless harvest
And I'm destroyer of names
Joining the leftovers
And I'm destroyer of names
I'm the point where it all comes to end
When it takes me
And I'm destroyer of names
Owner of the last days
And I'm destroyer of names
We are the dead stems
And I'm destroyer of names
We are the dead stems
And I'm destroyer of names
We are the dead stems
We are the dead stems
We are the dead stems
We are the dead stems
And I'm destroyer of names

Cease
01:56

What will cause this ground to shift?
The floor to crumble
What will pull this structure down?
Pillars demolish
What will force this train to stop?
This cart to topple
What will stop this motor's turn?
This mill from its churn
These are all things that we can look forward to
These are all things that we can look forward to
What will bring this animal down?
It's stride to break
What will halt this relentless beat?
This heart to cease
These are all things that we can look forward to
These are all things that we can look forward to

Towpaths

Tired hands losing grip
Fingers burning
Trying to stand up straight
Forever slipping
With nothing left to offer
Limbs are burnt out
Dragging weight down the path
We’ll never make it
Move on, rerun
Move on, rerun
Chewed up by exhaustion
Bodies defeated
Trying to push through it
Digging feet out
Disappointment at each turn
Never a good day
Nobody's coming to help you
We can't afford it
Move on, rerun
Move on, rerun

Harbours
04:41
|

|
I don't want to stay anymore
Any hope can stand aside
Stood landsick on the shore
Bleak moments to reminisce
Return to find a certain town
Return to find the sea is out
Return to find the sea
I don't want to know about where it's safe
I don't want to hear about harbours
Now I can see the shoreline bob
There's a feeling I've overstayed
Consumed by the foamy flood
Like discarded ephemera
Return to find the pier has sunk
Return to find the boats have gone
Return to find the sea
I don't want to know about where it's safe
I don't want to hear about harbours
