Hardest to Reach (lyrics)
The shadow of a doubt
We hope you never sort it out.
I don’t know why but she helps me believe
There is love in my head, something is free
You and me, that’s something to be
And our love isn’t stained, with the marks that we shouldn’t have made.
It’s just my heart aches
And up and and down - Its’ just a matter of time
Weeping from points that we shouldn’t have made
Up to my head, over my grave
Am I defining this beautiful timing
When love lets you down
And you’re drowning again
Hardest to reach
People I want - people I need
People like you - people like me.
It’s a heartache
Does your heart ache
Over my head, loveless but love leaves you drowning
You know that you’re frowning again
Over my grave
And the people I want
Are the hardest to reach
Now I’m down, will I ever be free
And the people I want are the hardest to reach
People I want - people I need
People like you - people like me
It’s a heart ache
Does your hear ache
Up and down
It’s just a change of heart.

Letterbomb (lyrics)
I stepped out of my life
Over the barricades
Clutching my letterbomb
What did it say
It blew me away.
I delivered my life
Most of the time
But you know, I’m helpless and alone
What did she say
Blew me away
When I was alone
Sisyphus will come and go
I stepped out of my life
Over the barricades
Clutching my letterbomb
Addressed to my heart
What did it say
It blew me away
Back to the start
When I was alone

The Passing (lyrics)
I wanted freedom
Built your Kingdom come
Wounded City built it up
Knock it down
Haunted me with endless possibilities
And my fear
Wanted people to sit and listen
Feeling something
Wanted rain
Keep your eyes wide open
Always feel it when you’re broken hearted
Breath and keep the seamless wonder
Why it took so long to find her
Jump into the water flowing
tears of laughter almost showing
Dream of summer when it’s snowing
curse the sunlight now you’re glowing
Sing like rain on the city limits
Sing like rain again
Raging river, always find you
Harmless, senseless, wonder, endless
Why you took so long
Jump into the water flowing
Tears of laughter almost showing
Dream of summer when it’s snowing
Curse the summer now it’s glowing
The Passing
Sing like rain again
Sit and listen
Sing like rain
Over dale and ardent yonder
See my life in pale blue wonder
Always find you
Senseless wonder
Why it took so long?
Always feel it when we're parted
Always find you now you started
The Passing
Wanted people - sit and listen

hungersleep (lyrics)
It’s my lover’s song
She takes me to the edge and makes me leap
When everything is wrong
She drives the nails into my feet
And when I’m wild
She pulls the devil out me
And now I’m strong
She brings the hunger to me.
I won’t make the last boat
But it’s getting better
If she will love me I’m complete
I don’t know what’s going on
Feel the life feel the song
Break me shake me make me cool
Don’t make me face this alone
Please don’t change your mind
I’m so scared
It’s my lover’s song
She takes me to the edge and makes me leap
When everything is wrong
She drives the nails into my feet
And now I’m wild
She pulls the devil out me
And when I’m strong
She brings the hunger to my sleep.
Don’t make me chase it alone
please don’t change your mind.
Don’t make me waste it
I’m so scared

Whatever You do Don’t (lyrics)
I was all alone, I was by myself
I could be wrong
I was somewhere else
Whatever I’ve done
Whatever we’ve said
Whatever you do don’t
I was all alone
I was somewhere else
If I could be right just for once
In my head
I was by myself
I was somewhere else
Have to love myself
Have to love ourselves
Playing my song
I will make you believe
Whatever I want
Whatever they say
Whatever you do don’t
Whatever I’ve done
Whatever we’ve said
Whatever they did
Whatever you do, don’t
Whatever I say

As I Am (lyrics)
You ask me to explain
And when I do you turn away again
Am I climbing up your walls
With all my teeth and claws
Am I opening your door
Could I throw you on the floor
And I ask you once again
Well I ask you
Come and take me where I want to go.
Educated and immeasurably dated
Come and take me as I am
Come and take me.
And you ask me to explain
And when I do you turn away again
Am I climbing up your walls
With all my teeth and claws
Come and take me where I want to go
Come and take me
Come and take me
As I Am.

Comfort Zone (lyrics)
When did we leave the comfort zone?
How do we make it on our own?
Why did the children break our hearts
Why does the end feel like the start?
When are the angels going to come?
When the work is done.
When is a man a foolish man
Where is the compass
Where is the plan
When did we leave the comfort zone?
How can we make it on our own?
When are the angels going to come?
When the work is done, done.
When is a man a foolish man
Where is the compass, where is the plan
Why did the children break our hearts
Why does the end feel like the start
When are the angels going to come?
When the work is done.
Done.

Steam (lyrics)
I don’t know where to go
I don’t know when I’ve been so lonely
I don’t know where to go
I don’t know when I’ve been so lonely
Been so lonely
Not only, been so lonely.
Steam, out of steam
You are the space in between
Whatever i;I’ve lost she’s my queen
Steam, out of steam
You are the space in between
Whatever I’ve lost you’re my queen.
Steam, the light, the dream
Steam, the light, the dream.
Dream, dream
You are the light, the silver screen
Whatever we’ve lost in between
Dream, dream, you are the light, the silver screen
Whatever I’ve lost in between
Whatever I’ve lost
steam, light, the dream
Steam, light, dream
Steam
The light
The dream
Steam
The light
The dream.

Grace (lyrics)
When the life is leaving, winding, weaving
Changes meaning
Am I made of stone?
As the love lies bleeding, twisted, seething
Loveless dreaming
Am I still alone
Ask me
Am I still alone
Changes seasons
Am I made of stone?
You ask me
Am I made of stone?
When it’s overflowing
Loveless Eden, heaven, father
Can your son come home?
When the world is shadow
Love light fading
Helpless healing
I would still come home
If you asked me - I would still come home
Ask me.
When it’s overflowing
Loveless Eden, heaven, father
Can your son come home?
If I asked you
Can your son come home?
Well I’m asking to come home.
Well I ask you.

Saving Grace (lyrics)
Send it out and watch it growing
Say we are not too late
Now our love is overflowing
Say we can relate
And I look into the sky to find that quiet space
And I look into your eyes to find that saving grace
And I pray it’s not too late

Oddly, you get the teaser as the final track when you buy this. A strange encore medley of sorts. :-)
go to album
Mostly recorded during late nights, hence the title, this EP is full of whispery synthpop that is both beguiling and mysterious.
