- A Modern Way Of Letting Go
If I know, what I know, then no one will watch over you
So someone shouldn't really tell me what I want to know
I know, I owe, and I know that matters don't matter as much
As you think they do
You will only be yourself
When you can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself
- American English
Songs when they're truth
are undedicated to you
in this invisible world I choose to live in
and if you believe that,
for now I understand
why words mean so much to you
they'll never be about you
may be your young without youth
- El Capitan
By the harbour I harbour the strangest memories,
over land I could ever be,
stranded in nostalgia,
so tonight I’ll try harder,
but it's hard to fix this floodlight on me,
in a cast that's taken to places,
I’m unsure of where I want to be,
- Everyone Says You're So Fragile
I'm not that medieval, sometimes I write my thoughts down
I can never remember who I am
Who I am, where I am, what on earth I'm doing here
What on earth I know
I'm not that medieval, sometimes I write my thoughts down
I can never remember who I am
Who I am, where I am, what on earth I'm doing here
- Forgot To Follow
All I can hear
Is another year it passed me by
They pass me by
They pass underneath
You know there's nothing to see here
Except 10 bridges
They pass underneath
You know there's nothing to see here
- I Don't Have The Map
When it happens
You'll feel like an islander
You'll see ships and they'll be reminders
That you're on an island
I'm on an island
The chances are there's a reason we've been left here
But I'm not disappointed
- Love Steals Us From Loneliness
Every step takes a beat of your heart
Through a city that's falling apart
On a night that rises and clears
In a sky that's clouded by years
My anger is a form of madness
So I'd rather have hope than sadness
And you said something
You said something stupid like
- Post-Electric
We've gone post electric
I've written down the concept
It's casual to deny
Along sentimental lines
A little bronze age electric
And born for the first time
Returning to the tried and tested methods
- Tell Me Ten Words
I have to stop saying "to be honest", it's not a real defeat
To have to stop saying "to be honest", it's not a great defeat
(No, no, no, not such a great defeat)
All these things that you don't know, it seems so much better that way
All these things that you don't know, it seems so much better that way
Can you tell me 10 words that you'd use, to describe the world
- What I am
Calling places, collecting careless
Sentences I write them down
So I ignore them, and you should too, you should ignore every word
Is calling what you can surrender
The only way to really learn
That the alphabet made up the words
You could never resist to quote
- When I Argue I See Shapes
I'm not really sure of all this pressure
I'm never going to lose any of my old letters
They'll stay with me until I can't see
Until I can see that I'm no one
Don't fight it all cause you'll be fine
Don't (STOP) fighting it all cause you'll be fine
All you ever do is build it up inside
- You held the world in your arms
Every face
Even the one you saw yesterday
It looks different today
Cos everything's changed since yesterday
In every possible way
Things seem different today
Not like yesterday
Is consideration
