Always the easier option / The haven of silence
Keeping the pain undercover / This is what comes, this is what comes of lies
You did your best, so you tell me / Thousands might disagree
Grief harboured deep inside me / Poison running through my dreams
Keep closing down the discussion / Now's not the time for debate
Solve the immediate issue / Under an almighty rage
Always the easier option / The haven of silence
Keeping the pain undercover / This is what comes of lies
Sick of conceding the moment / Weary of holding my tongue
Mad at the consequences / Clouds cover over the sun
Never the right time for anger / Gotta hold back and defer
Witness a lifetime of grudges / Knowing the breaks weren't fair
Always the easier option / The haven of silence
Keeping the pain undercover / This is what comes, this is what comes of lies

You Watch

A woman passed me in the street
I shivered, I may have grown pale
She wore your perfume, carried your scent
You reappeared in her trail
Took me a moment to realise
Your presence never fades
Nothing can diminish
The monument you made
You will never grow old, though the years and the decades pass
Nights in summer, the way you walked – these images will last
From another space and time the memories prevail
I will take comfort – you watch from the land, from the land of the dead
You watch and it is comforting
Like the listening ear of a friend
May be time to seek a new lover
But our bond will never end
You left but still you stay behind
Like a continental tune
Ready to set my heart abeat
Stepping out from the hotel room
You will never grow old, though the years and the decades pass
Nights in summer, the way you walked – these images will last
From another space and time the memories prevail
I will take comfort – you watch from the land, from the land of the dead
I remember you telling me secrets
As we walked along the strand
“You don't look at me like other men do
You see me as I am”
And so you were to all your friends
A light so bright and true
A sun that keeps on shining
A strong and haunting moon
You will never grow old, though the years and the decades pass
Nights in summer, the way you walked – these images will last
From another space and time the memories prevail
I will take comfort – you watch from the land, from the land of the dead

The Pace of a Heartbeat
03:01

And now I catch my breath, look out at the street
The band is playing on / At the pace of a heartbeat
Everything passes and everything breaks
Night time tells me there's a lot at stake
In the margins, I'm preoccupied
Weary of always feeling so tired
Think I'm regrouping, still trying to trace
A life that's scattered, a song without shape
I wanna flourish from a seed to a flower
Too far gone to regain that power
And now I catch my breath, look out at the street
The band is playing on / At the pace of a heartbeat
No one gets dragged to heaven by the hair
Fashion your choices and make your way there
Still you find me waiting for my luck to change
At the right station but I won't board the train
The end of the world or it feels that way
Resolve to do better in the field of play
I pick up the pieces, reconstruct the dream
Keep chasing the genie of self-belief
The lights are soothing, the music sweet
The band is playing on / At the pace of a heartbeat
I'm so self-contained, holding everything in
Window slightly open 'gainst the sun and the rain
I repel all strangers, got no friends that are close
Life's defences have a way of shutting doors
Tight control a virtue but it's also a vice
It's a negative statement - you can only come so far
I wanna flourish from a seed to a flower
Too far gone to regain that power
A higher calling is what I need
The band is playing on /At the pace of a heartbeat
