Dawn Brings Warmth
07:01
|
|||
|
This room is frozen
We live under ice
Speak to me, I know you're still awake
And later, by the front door, we speak teardrops
They freeze in the cold like shattered china
As a shadow I wait at the crest of the day
New hours slip in as dawn brings warmth

I've Found Some Poison
05:02
|
|||
|
One move away takes us to this; our hurricane
She moves her words with so soft a tongue
Until there's war...
And so it is I've found some poison
And so is this a stubborn weight
Two criminals forever spurned by violent words
To escape the coming storm

Ghost Town
05:25
|
|||
|
Sandalwood, faded clove
A burning torch lights the cove
And this room is a ghost town
A paperweight made of gold
A death I could control, if I thought you were coming home
She came home the very next night
My quiet house has a second light, for now...

Cannonfire March
06:55
|
|||
|
With our weapons displayed, face to face
We line up our strength to the side, nice and wide
And with nary a word, no sleight of hand
The shots fire, the cannonballs sing through an ill wind
So now, are you satisfied?
Has the body count turned your troops around?
So now, I'm your enemy?
Seen no differently than spies outside in the bushes as night

In Out
03:36
|
|||
|
Like the movement of your body across the threshold door
We breathe....
I can't keep you in one place
You're in, then you're out
When did you become so indecisive?
Please, please make up your mind soon

Hotel Shade
04:00
|
|||
|
I dream a formless wish
Set against faded 70's lime
Cigarette burns in the shape of half smiles in the carpet
T.V. from another age
Filthy floor, bed unmade
The phone forever silent
In evil Australian heat I wither
No respite in the hotel shade

Without Borders
07:04
|
|||
|
So the days still come
Some change, some things the same
Her colours, soft and stubborn, painting in the other room
And, in the next year, shoot us north, please
We are explorers
Maybe snow in the first week?
Berlin or Amsterdam?
Further north! Through glacial stares
I want to drop off the end of the earth
Even Melbourne seems so far away
We three lonely souls all agree
It's time for you to come home please
We still have plans to make

0400
03:46
|
|||
|
Why must I wake up every morning at 0400, while you're away?
I count the minutes of her disappearance
And her reappearance is days away
With anticipation
A sky woken, sunlit
The singing cricket is miles away
My hope is fading with every whisper
And the chance to kiss her fades away
So why must I wake up every morning at 0400, while you're away?

The Coming Storm
07:53
|
|||
|
I want to leave a scar on the world
The coming storm is on the horizon
I hear words but no voice
I hear notes but no sound
The coming storm is on the horizon
I'll stand in its path
Take breath on the wing
I don't care if this is the end of me
I recall the time
When the very thought of lies felt alien on your tongue
And we spoke in rhymes
But we understood with our eyes, and not with the words
Here come the floods to cover us up
Make beds in the waves and close our eyes
I remember the night, I knew we would fight
I though the storm passes for everyone...

Conditions
06:11
|
|||
|
Empty bedroom
It feels as though it's always been
Piles of clothing, the subtle smell of damp
Every evening I'm bathed in entertainment radiation
Don't you think we could have spent years
As this two-headed monster with nothing to say?
But we made a choice, and the conditions felt right
So, goodbye, forever, my once best friend
And so it falls to me to beg
I'm fucking sick to death of it
Is there no more connection? No murmured reflection?
I touch my hand to yours
And within the fleeting pause
I'm sure that I knew you one absolute, final time

Love of Cartography
by sleepmakeswaves
supported by 4 fans who also own “The Coming Storm”
Sleepmakeswaves is one of the best bands out there that blend ethereal tracks with other tracks with beautiful interlaced guitar playing, as if both players are feeding off of the energy of the other, creating a massive and powerful energy that cannot be stopped! This is one fantastic record, and is easily one you can put the whole album on and love every single song.
