This is the crossing of words This is the culmination of losses This is the space in between This is where it all begins ​ We were told that we are the writers of history, of our history But who are the ones holding the pen inscribing our story   With voices made of diamond We speak in common carbon For the profit of some corporate nightmare machine   It’s high time to break your chains Throw caution to the wind and reclaim Some value for ourselves, before long   With a body wrought from stone Heart of iron, a corroding ore Choking on diamond, choking on diamond   Maybe I’m sick Convince me your not For how can medicine exist In this space that love forgot   Where faceless trolls hold sway on world views in the evening news And all we breathe is diamond   Stare down the barrel with nought to lose Maybe someone will shout enough is enough Enough is enough   Weigh anchor, while the ship is sinking Maybe someone will shout enough is enough Enough is Enough   Stare down the barrel with nought to lose Maybe someone will shout enough is enough Enough is enough   Stand stock still and watch it all come crumbling down Maybe someone will shout enough is enough Enough is enough Enough is enough Is enough. ​ [Outro - distorted radio chant]  ​ Shots are fired Hopes fade Lips meet at the borderlines ​ Shots are fired Hopes fade Lips meet Through the borderlines​

Between the birds and the bees That's where she finds me Whistling on the breeze As the sap flows fresh from the trees Her poison is so sweet Quickly bring me to my knees Lay down next to me under our Foxglove hollow ​ Sun beat down upon a grass filled meadow as we searched on and on For our small shred of shadow We made our nest upon The back of a black widow Run away into my Foxglove hollow ​ This could be your Eden You could be mine, my Eve Run away into our Humble foxglove abode Your foxglove Hollow My foxglove Our foxglove, Hollow Our foxglove ​ Between the birds and the bees That's where she finds me Whistling on the breeze As the sap flows fresh from the trees. Her poison is so sweet Quickly bring me to my knees Lay down next to me under our Our foxglove hollow ​ Between the birds and the bees That's where she finds me Whistling on the breeze As the sap flows fresh from the trees Her poison is so sweet So sweet Bring me to my knees In our foxglove hollow

Grass Roots 03:57
You scraped your knees when you were young Ran with wolves untamed and free Chased all dreams ripe for taking Now your aged body breaking As we soldier on these days wearing the soles out of our old boots Remember those visions of our youth tear out the green grass shoots Feel it now, much has changed can you grasp the truth Dig it up from beneath the ground those torn grass roots You risked your heart to keep it alive Trailing smoke from fires far behind Through your memories you’d go roaming For peace of mind, vainly hoping ​As we soldier on these days wearing the soles out of our old boots Remember those rhythms of our youth tear out the green grass shoots Feel it now, much has changed can you grasp the truth Dig it up from beneath the ground those torn grass roots ​ Your old haunts are all but gone Replaced by modern wills and wants All grow old with time, constantly fading We waste our days just not noticing As we soldier on these days wearing the soles out of our old boots Remember those rhythms of our youth tear out the green grass shoots Feel it now, so much has changed can you grasp the truth Dig it up, those torn grass roots As we soldier on these days wearing the soles out of our old boots Remember those visions of our youth tear out the green grass shoots Dig it up Dig it up  Dig it up from beneath the ground Those torn grass roots

Small Talk 04:51
Her gaze is fixed upon mine Looking for something lost to time All I know is how I feel right now That just ain’t good enough, somehow   She said; Find yourself some trusty chords Take these hollow words back home Just find something to say   Would it be easier to forget Spend my day living in regret Nothing seems right, right now That just ain’t good enough, somehow   She said; Find yourself some trusty chords Take those lengthy words back home Just find something to say ​ She said; Find yourself some trusty chords Take those empty words back home Just find something to say ​ But I don't need no small talk I ain't got, I ain't got time for small talk And I can't stand no small talk  Especially not today   She said; Find yourself some trusty chords Take those empty words back home Find something to say ​ She said; Find yourself some trusty chords Take those lengthy words back home Just find something to say ​ Oh, find yourself, find yourself  Those trusty chords  And take your hollow words back home ​ Find something to say

Drizzle Daze 03:30
Drizzle filled Nights like these Made for desperate poetry Moon hangs high As I reach She embraces me   Restlessness I can’t sleep My mind is unreeling   Voices soft Dulcet tone I can’t shake this feeling   Dark creeps in Heartbeats make a deafening din   I hammer out these chords As I wail my soul drips forth Buried in these words The tell tale sign of an inner war   Autumn leaves Hang from the tree Swaying in the breeze   Heard her voice Cross the sea I picture her with ease   Canvas of emptiness My cold white ceiling   What once was said Brought disbelief But baby, I believe it   Dark creeps in Heartbeats make a deafening din   I hammer out these chords As I wail my soul drips forth Buried in these words The tell tale sign of an inner war   Empty words carry little weight now Empty words carry little weight now ​ I told my part, torn apart Better days are yet to come ​ I told my part, I broke her heart Pray for nights like these   I hammer out these chords As I wail my soul drips forth Buried in these words The tell tale sign of an inner war   I hammer out these chords As I wail my soul drips forth Buried in these words The tell tale sign of an inner war ​ [Backing] (Drizzle filled nights like these Caught in this torrential downpour Drizzle filled nights like these Caught in this torrential downpour)
