Out of Touch
03:36

I dreamt I divided myself
Into pieces you could taste
Where nothing goes to waste
And that's why I go
You can chase me to the state line
But I won't be in no state of mind
To turn around and take my bow
You can't catch me now
When I wake up
And my appetite has gone
And I'm scared of everyone
Wanting more
And there's a wild tranquility
Crystal caves inside of me
But my heart is down a well
Well, well, well
And she feels like a pendulum
Rocks and ropes around her
Did I really run away for this?
And now the question is
Can I keep up
With all the things I said?
Now my confidence is dead
And I want more
I love being out of touch
So much
When I know that I'm out of your clutches
Yes, I...
I love being out of touch
So much
When I know that I'm out of your clutches
Yes, I...
I love being out of touch
So much
When I know that I'm out of your clutches
Yes, I...
I love being out of touch
So much
When I know that I'm out of your clutches
Yes, I...
It's a shake up
But it's everything I need
Will I wake up?
Even when it feels like bleeding
Yes, it's a shake up
But I still want more
I love being out of touch
So much
When I know that I'm out of your clutches
Yes, I...
I love being out of touch
So much
When I know that I'm out of your clutches
Yes, I...
I love being out of touch
So much
When I know that I'm out of your clutches
Yes, I...
I love being out of touch
So much
When I know that I'm out of your clutches
Yes, I...
I love being out of touch
So much
When I know that I'm out of your clutches
Yes, I...

I Am The Pilot
04:13

Tranquillised and I'm tired
I wanna be an outsider
Being the visualiser
Always first to get gone
Staying still is too high risk
On repeat and unfocused
Going up where it's cloudless
Flying close to the sun
I'm letting go
Letting go
Of the controls
All it is now
Some place I don't know
I'm letting go
I navigate my mind
I am the pilot (yeah)
Over the hills I climb
I am the pilot (yeah)
Out of the turbulence
Into the quiet
In the arc of the climb
I am the pilot, I am the pilot
Cutting free from his harness
Getting out of this carcass
Fire me into the farness
Deeper now
Don't get mad at this body
Doing that is too easy
Close my eyes and see clearly
All around
Tranquillised and I'm tired
I wanna be an outsider
Being the visualiser
Staying still is too high risk
On repeat and unfocused
Going up where it's cloudless
I'm letting go
Letting go
Of the controls
All it is now
Some place I don't know
I'm letting go
I navigate my mind
I am the pilot (yeah)
Over the hills I climb
I am the pilot (yeah)
Out of the turbulence
Into the quiet
In the arc of the climb
I am the pilot, I am the pilot
I am the pilot (yeah, letting go)
(I am the pilot yeah, letting go)
(I am the pilot yeah, letting go)
I am the pilot (yeah, letting go)
I am the pilot (yeah, letting go)
I am the pilot! (yeah, letting go)
I am the pilot (yeah, letting go)
Tonight (I am the pilot letting go)
Ooh
(Tonight I am the pilot yeah, letting go)
I am the pilot (letting go tonight)

Time can show me
Never wholly
Be the picture that I wanna see
Feel the moments falling
Keep repeating now
No retreating now
It's time to be
All those things I read aloud
Telling my mind
Telling my heart
And soul
We can let go of control
Here I am at the beginning
And here I stand at the end
As electricity dances
Take chances
These days
There's always three responses (however I fall)
My mind, my heart, my soul
Three responses (however I fall)
My mind, my heart, my soul
Three
Three
And if I asked you would you come with me
Into something so completely unknown?
Cast no shadow
Take my hand now and
We'll expand until suddenly
There's no need for fear no more
Telling your mind, telling your heart and soul
We can let go of control
Here I am at the beginning
And here I stand at the end
As electricity dances
Take chances
These days
There's always three responses (however I fall)
My mind, my heart, my soul
Three responses (however I fall)
My mind, my heart, my soul
Three, Three, Three
Three, Three, Three
Here I am at the beginning
And here I stand at the end
As electricity dances
Take chances
These days
There's always three responses (however I fall)
My mind, my heart, my soul
Three responses (however I fall)
My mind, my heart, my soul
Three (however I fall)
Three, Three, Three (however I fall)
Three, Three, Three (however I fall)
Three, Three, Three (however I fall)
Three, Three, Three

Dear Shadow
02:50
|

The first day that we met
I saw you out of the corner
Of my eye, I was 5
You're still the thumb that I'm under
You're still the thumb that I'm under
Oh, I hid you away
Pushing you down
You left me caught between a light and a dark place
I'm going to ground
When out looking for love
Three is a crowd
We'd always lose our way
Between the black and the grey
I've been lonely
Keeping you back there behind me
Got this swollen feeling
We could make amends
But you're holding me back
Yeah, you're holding me back
I just want to run
"Dear shadow
Walking every shade of who I am
Maybe we could start again?
On the wall
I was 10, you were more than a feeling
By my side, unwanted
The sun would see you come creeping
Made of fear
I was strong
There's no shame to have you here
Where you belong
I've been lonely
Keeping you back there behind me
Got this swollen feeling
We could make amends
But you're holding me back
Yeah, you're holding me back
I just want to run
Dear shadow
Walking every shade of who I am
Maybe we could start again?
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la
I've been lonely
Keeping you back there behind me
Got this swollen feeling
We could make amends
I see it's only me needing
You back there behind me
In my soul I feel like
Maybe we'll be friends
But you're holding me back
Yeah, you're holding me back
And I just want to run
Dear shadow
Walking every shade of who I am
Maybe we could start again?

Private Eyes
04:20

|

Head's too close to the ceiling of a basement bar
You're too far in
Get yourself out
Who can you trust?
When you lust after desire itself
You must get yourself out
Hey girl, you said we gotta get outta here
But should I be following you?
You got the look of painted, broken china
Why do you go blind each time you look at yourself?
Everybody can see that you've got private eyes
Fall into the arms of being somebody else
Anybody can see that you've got
Beautiful, private eyes
So, I draw a door with my finger on the basement wall
When we walk through, where do we go?
It's easy to make the mistake of thinking nothing is real
But I know
Everything goes
Everything goes
Why do you go blind each time you look at yourself?
Everybody can see that you've got private eyes
Fall into the arms of being somebody else
Anybody can see that you've got
Beautiful, private eyes
A mirror on the table and a mirror on the wall
You know you're gonna hurt yourself whichever way you fall
You're doing what you're able
And they label it your all
It's a miracle you're standing, and you handle it at all
A mirror on the table and a mirror on the wall
You know you're gonna hurt yourself whichever way you fall
You're trying every night, but you just can't get it right
Why do you go blind each time you look at yourself?
Everybody can see that you've got private eyes
Fall into the arms of being somebody else
Anybody can see that you've got
Beautiful, private eyes
Beautiful, private eyes
Beautiful, private eyes
Beautiful, private
Beautiful, private eyes
Beautiful, private
Beautiful, private eyes
Beautiful, private
Beautiful, private eyes
Beautiful, private eyes

Canyons

Hey, what do you say?
We don't chase the rabbit
Down underground
Out of sight
Numbing the senses subterranean
Oh, and these chains, glistening gold
They hold in the habit
Is there a way I can go?
Travel a new path through the undergrowth?
Daylight
I can see the sky is awake now
Making its way to the horizon
Meanwhile
I can feel something is changing
In the canyons
In the canyons
Oh, dear brain
Keeping me cold in a holding pattern
Over and over again
I find myself fighting you to stay strange
But I can't wait
Not another day
It's way too late
I love you, I love you, I do
But I gotta get through to you
We gotta change
Daylight
I can see the sky is awake now
Making its way to the horizon
Meanwhile
I can feel something is changing
In the canyons
In the canyons
Daylight
I believe I am awake now
Making my way to the horizon
Deep down
I can feel something is changing
In the canyons
In the canyons

Synapse
03:01
|

Yeah, yeah, yeah
I take a step
Out over the edge
It feels easier
Than staying on the ledge
Tell me why the hell I feel this way?
Tell me why I feel this way?
Light in the grey
Change in direction
Show me the way
Make a connection
Hold 'til it breaks
And the synapse is failing, again
Here I am
I know I got it good
Did I have it easier (easier, easier)
Maybe than I should?
Tell me how the hell I kept my head
When we both know what you said?
Light in the grey
Change in direction
Show me the way
Make a connection
Hold "til it breaks
And the synapse is failing, again
Again, again, again
Light in the grey
Change in direction
Show me the way
Make a connection
Hold ‘til it breaks
The synapse is failing, again
Again

Demigod
03:29
|

Wonder fits you like a glove
Along with the lace and the fortune
And every brick is made of love
In your house
And when you go
Will you take me with you?
I know you always have to leave
You could hold me close as we fly over oceans
And I can touch the water
She's a Demigod
A real Demigod
Even though she's short
She is an angel caught
And she can make you high
Or she can make you cry
And she can bring you back to life
Yeah, she can bring you back to life
This world afforded you a view
Unlike any other
And what you sing is what you see
And you sing your heart out
Could you teach me how to do that?
For I've always wanted to learn
You could pull me out into the open
And I'll really get started
She's a Demigod
A real Demigod
Oh, even though she's short
She is an angel caught
And she can make you high
Yeah, she can make you cry
And she can bring you back to life
Yeah, she can bring you back to life
A shape of a shadow
Shape of a shadow
A shape of a shadow
Shape of a shadow
Beating the dark by joining it
Finding a line and pushing it
Reaching the edge and jumping
Casting a spell and trusting it
Teaching a truth that'll never die
Bigger and faster than you or I
Racing through history and time
A full speed train pushing harder and harder and harder
She's a Demigod
A real Demigod
Oh, even though she's short
She is an angel caught
And she can make you high
And she can make you cry
And she can bring you back to life
Oh, she's a Demigod
A real Demigod
Oh, even though she's short
She is an angel caught
And she can make you high
Yeah, she can make you die
And she can bring you back to life
Yeah, she can bring you back to life

All The Time
03:28
|

I notice it as the coffee burns my tongue
I feel it as the sunlight hits my lungs
And the water gets reflected
In the windowpane
Where the construction guy's been working day after day and
I can't help but be impressed
He knows what to do
He's just building up that building
And moves onto something new
And it reminded me of you
Reminded me of you
And I think about you all the time
I think about you all the time
I'm watching the breeze move a spider's web
How I love getting tangled up in all the things you said
And I'm feeling ever grateful for the mess in my head
And being in the warmth of my own body in my bed
But it reminded me of you
Reminded me of you
Why do I live
Like I'm gonna die full of regret?
Why do I live
As if I need
All the time
That I can get?
I think about you all the time
I think about you all the time
Yeah, yeah
All the time
Oh I think about you all the time
Yes I think about you all the time
