Down in the valley where I used to be Through the meadows, I’m humming like the bees I saw hopeless things that made me think of my future and I don’t dream a lot no more and I don’t dream a lot So teach me, teacher, tell me how all the gardens grow Teach me, teacher, tell me why the insects kiss the flowers and Does it help them grow I’d like to know I don’t dream a lot no more and I don’t dream a lot So why don’t my dreams come in the best of times If they did I’d bottle them up and save them for when I see you next time With all the flowers dying Can’t help but think we’re trying They’ll come again in spring Fix everything and then I might Just dream about them sometime Between now and then

Always thinking we flower like the weekends Dancing round, dancing round the days Always longing to feel some belonging Far away, far away from this place What is this place anyway? These days are forever changing me And our pace is forever fluctuating We’re running round flowing in and out I almost drowned didn’t like the sound Frantic minds think alike Circle back I know you tried, I know you tried, I know you tried When all I ever wanted, all I ever wanted was change Flowers weeping and changing with the seasons Playing dress-up in the rain Twirling around the wind picks them up and puts them down Transforming in their own ways What’s the right way to flourish these days? Is there even a way? Well My hearts reserved for weeping flowers on concrete pavements in such strange hours My brain is full of scattered thoughts blowing in the wind like an arrangement of sorts An arrangement of sorts An arrangement of sorts We’re running round flowing in and out I almost drowned didn’t like the sound Frantic minds think alike Circle back I know you tried, I know you tried, I know you tried We’re running round flowing in and out I almost drowned didn’t like the sound Frantic minds think alike Circle back I know we tried, I know we tried, I know we tried When all I ever wanted, all I ever wanted was change

Crumbs 05:11
Breath feeling to faint to feed Stay I don’t want to shoo away Caught in a fantasy Hiding from whats infront of me And I don’t want to hesitate I just want to hide away No I just want to hide away No I just want to hide away Hide And I think I’m loosing my mind, mind It’s alright, it might just slip my, might just slip my Think I’m loosing, my mind My mind, my Mind It’s the language of flowers I spend countless hours Chasing days away Feels like I’m going to waste away We’re all going to waste away We’re all gone anyway We’re all gone anyway It’s alright It might just slip my Might just slip my mind And I think I’m loosing my mind, mind Hide away feel the days pass behind Think I might, think I might just mind Hide away feel the days pass behind Think I might, think I might just mind Oooooo Think I might, think I might just mind I might just I might just mind Oooooo I might just I might just mind Oooooo I might just mind

Foundations 04:18
Biting down Feel me now Breathing in breathing out Is what we must do Oohh An avalanche run breaks the ice Has me feeling sick inside We only must do what is required Strange people and stranger desires Come alive come alive Feel the night feel the night Feel it through Dusk to dawn, dawn to blue Heighten senses shut me down Through the bones of this town If we do what we must we must do what we do Then how the fuck can I get to you And If we do what we must we must do what we do Then how the fuck can I get to you An avalanche run breaks the ice It has me feeling sick inside You human nature fuels the light Has me feeling alive We only must do what is required Strange people and stranger desires Come alive come alive Feel the night feel the night Oooo Foundations crumbling in Taking their time again Longing for my Foundations crumbling in Taking their time again Longing for my Peace of mind Peace of mind Peace of mind

Counting Cards Hide from trains Watch the sun fade from day to day Dressing up dressing down Afraid I might look like a clown Should I go, should I stay I can’t seem to make my mind up today Should I go, should I stay There’s so much time on the other side Maybe I’ll see you there in another life Just let go, it’ll be alright Should I try, to mould the lines To make us feel some kind of way we should inside Should I go, should I stay, I can’t seem to make my mind up today Ohhhh Walking out on the shipping doc There’s the face staring back at me and, it says a lot One step in the wrong direction then we’re gone Departing now and no ones around me anymore Coming up Coming down Trying to hide my awful frown Counting Cards Hide from trains Watch the sun fade from day to day It’s all I ever wanted Forget me forget me not Should I go Should I stay I can’t seem to make my mind up today Forget me forget me not Forget me not
