CHRIS HERE

So I compiled all the lyrics we've used in a single file separate from the note pad.

I've worked a bit on them, adding second or third verses for all the unfinished ones.

I hope you like the new stuff I've written. Murp.

Kat: I noticed you also used the "pallid colour" line in the new lyrics for Cranes which we already used in Ruby, but I realized I actually really like that, I think it's cool if some themes repeat across multiple songs.

So yeah, we currently have 9 songs total, and 3 more or less finished songs (The Wreckage, Ruby, and The Lost Room In The Grand Hotel. Clay Pigeons is also mostly done, we just need to decide on structure.)

(The 9th song, which doesn't have lyrics yet, would be the first one me and Julia started before Kat joined, I still really want to use that one).

Here are all the most up to date lyrics:



Clay Pigeons


when it's like
we are two moons
in orbit tonight

there is a tide
sinking all ships

when it's like
we are distant
in our bed tonight

and I hope you
die and I hope
its your fault and
I won't be there

and it tears
you apart








The Wreckage


we will never leave these bodies
these bodies make us whole
we tear off our eyelids to see the wreck below

we will never leave this wreckage
this wreckage is our home
your smile is dissolving the rain
you wash away

i was watching you grey
stumbling down
i smiled and waved
you were throwing grenades

we will never leave this prison
this prison's become home
we deny ourselves company
we sit alone

i imagined us

i turned left and you werent there at all









Candy


oceans would weep for our demise
and skies bleed blue
like candy eyes

onceans would sink our best defence
and skies crack wide
any pretense







Ruby


you pick your pallid colour
you make the moon for me
you pick your pallet well
paint upon the canopy

the moon sets
and the sun grows red
all lies end
drawn to dust instead

you brush the fading stars
swept from the firmament
you paint me cochineal
tell me it's heaven sent








The Lost Room In The Grand Hotel


like hotel
room keys and
hotel room doors
room service
making nights
on hotel floors

like nightmares
that fade fast
locked doors
deny my passage
making plans
on something lost

lonely lives in the entrance way
lonely leaves me nothing to say

this room leaves with nothing to say








The Sabotuer



not letting this
get away this
time
I'm always
the saboteur

I don't want to

not letting this
get out of hand
you're angry
and I understand






Cranes


hear my words, are they voiceless?
scream my song, is it painless?
with inscriptions burned in marble
and words heav'ly etched into stone

how they spill from lips crimson
each one a drop of poison
I'll end up in the ground with you
if I stay here longer

the best one to bind is you
signatures fold in octavo
what I say shall never fade
I'll find it trapped in this eternal

I'm suffocating on these sounds
asphyxiating while I drown
words are hands around my throat
oration takes a tone so mute

keep the rayless morning cold
and the dusty clouds rapt
when a heart as big as yours
is all the light can hold

pick up your pallid colour
make up the moon for me
I know too well the colour
of the secrets you keep

in the first pallor of dawn
you shine just like a sun
under the vanishing starlight
and brightening night

you're too bright to be so dark





Red Dwarf


another contest that you won't win
bulls and matadors
they dance
they chase

every red dwarf worth its weight in caves
like black holes

another promise I make to myself
I'm weaker
I cave, I cave

you won't remember me tonight
