Invisibility
04:41
|
|||
|
You disappear
Invisible, in the morning light
With people near
You disengage
Your fight or flight
Invisible
Your
Invisibility
Your disability
No end in sight
You fly away
From the ground, to the highest height
On invisible wings
Your invisible will
Wins over their visible might
Invisible
Your
Invisibility
Your disability
Isn't theirs to fight
Still invisible
Oh
They think we're divisible
No
We claim our rights
Invisible
My
Invisibility
My
Disability
Is mine
To celebrate
While we're still invisible
Oh
We're not divisible
No
It's never too late
We disappear
Invisible, in the morning light
And reappear
No end in sight

Supermoody
04:18
|

|
Well, I do love myself
How can I say I don't?
I am Supermoody
Who'll believe when I won't?
I can see you staring
You think I'm pretty cool, don't you?
I am Supermoody
And if no-one else knew, at least you know it's true
I'm some kind of superhero
I'm sure
And I don't care, I don't care
If you haven't heard of me before
I am Supermoody
I am Supermoody
And you can ask your questions
I've always got the time
I am Supermoody
Maybe I can help to change your mind
And I can see you staring
You think I'm pretty cute, don't you?
I am Supermoody
Well if no-one else knows, at least you know it's true
Sometimes I'm unsure of myself
Not sure
I am scared, I am scared
Of the frightened things I thought before
But I do good work, make good friends
And what's more
I know I'm worth a minimum of your time
And you might give me a little bit more
When you realise that I
I am Supermoody
I am Supermoody
Well, I do love myself
How can I say I don't?
I am Supermoody
Who'll believe when i won't?
And you can ask your questions
I've always got the time
I am Supermoody
Maybe I can help to change your mind
I am Supermoody
Maybe together we can see the light
I am Supermoody
Fought all my life not to lose the fight
I am Supermoody
To see I'll win through courage and not through might
I am Supermoody
You are too

It's Not Cross-Dressing
04:34
|
|||
|
Oh, it's not cross-dressing
If I'm in a dress
Your confusion's not my cross to bear
It's only for me to decide what I'm doing
And if you want to stare, go ahead
I dare you
It's no drag, I'm not your queen
I'm not your king, either
All I wanna do is look pretty for you
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
I told you before I don't have a gender
Well, sometimes I do and then I don't
It's perfectly okay to find me attractive
And if you want to stare, go ahead
I dare you
I want to be beautiful just like the others
No matter my gender, no matter my ID
This is my manifesto for stage
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
It's perfectly okay to find me attractive
And if you want to stare, go ahead
We dare you
I want to be beautiful just like the others
Beard line, and my feedback whine
This is my my manifesto for myself
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
And if you like what you see (That's okay)
We're human, you and I and we (That's okay)
We can be kings, queens and beings (That's okay)
It's not all as hard as it seems (It's okay)
We can love who we want (That's okay)
As many at a time or none (That's okay)
We're safe to find our own fun (It's okay)
No need to hold us at the barrel of your gun
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress
Not a mess if I'm wearing a dress

You are a body part, you are a body of writing
You are deep warm love
You are silky synthetic
You're pillar of salt
You are aesthetic
You are elusive
You are gregarious
You are hiding
You are writing
You are a body part, you are a body of writing
You are a body part, you are a body of writing
You are up there
You are down here
You are references
You are deferences
You are a body part, you are a body of writing
You are a body part, you are a body of writing
You are a body part, you are a body of writing
You are a body part, you are a body of writing
You are a body part, you are a body of writing
You are silky synthetic
You are deep warm love
Two take each others spaces
Two fit like hand in glove
You are a body part, you are a body of writing
You are a body part, you are a body of writing

No Sound
03:43

Darling
There's no sound I could hear
Like when you're laughing
There's no sound draws me near
Like your soft crying
Don't you know
You are safe tonight
Darling
There's no sound I love more
Than when you're sleeping
There's no sound I adore
Like when you're snoring
For I know
You'll sleep well tonight
I don't know
Where you go
When you dream
And I just hope
It's as safe
As it seems
Darling
There's no sight I love more
Than when you wake next to me
No sight that I adore
Like when you smile across at me
For I know
It's another day
I don't know
Where you go
When you dream
And I just hope
You're as safe
As you are with me
Darling
There's no sight I love more
Than when you wake next to me
No sight that I adore
Like when you smile across at me
For I know
It's another day
It's another day
It's another day
It's another day

Cloud Tree
03:53

Wake up in bed
And I'm so easily led
To the things that worry me
And I get scared
I'm underprepared
For the day that's ahead
And I just lie
And think of all the things
That bind me to this earth
I do this, for a while
And then drag myself up
Cloud tree
You'll find
The dreams
I keep
Reside
In your crooked arms tonight
Cloud tree
I know
The leaves
That wreathe
Your soul
Will keep me safe out of sight
Sudden awareness
Of the whispers and stares
All the things that mark me out
I've fired a flare
Over my disfigurement, my transfigurement
And I don't mind
Should I?
At least, I don't think I do
Of course it smarts
For a while
But then what can you do?
Cloud tree
You'll find
The dreams
I keep
Reside
In your crooked arms tonight
Cloud tree
I know
The leaves
That wreathe
Your soul
Will keep me safe out of sight
Safe out of sight
Safe out of sight
Keep me safe out of sight
Keep me safe out of sight

Your Gentle Army
05:55
|

|
We won't let you fall
We won't let you fall
No matter how many times you call out
We won't let you fall
This is not the end
This is not the end
You can always count us among your friends
And this is not the end
We love you
How could we leave you?
There's a gentle army on the way
To guard you on your judgement day
We love you
How could we leave you?
There's a gentle army at your gates
With hugs and love and not-too-lates
Maybe clouds are heavy and nights too long
But your gentle army's much too strong
Your gentle army's here in style
We would walk five thousand miles
If the darkness lasts a hundred years
Your gentle army's here
We love you
How could we leave you?
The path through heaven, the path through hell
Are the path that we take through ourselves
There's a gentle army on the way
To guard you on your judgement day
There's a gentle army flying home
Our love was never just a loan
There's a gentle army coming in
Feel the sunrise
On our skin
We can make you laugh (we will make you laugh)
We'll stay while you cry (oh, we will stay while you cry)
We will build a garden (and we will build a garden)
And when the clouds are too heavy
And the night too long
Your gentle army will come in strong
Help you feel the love within
And feel the sunrise
On our skin

You Can't Take Our Pulse
05:17
|
|||
|
Suddenly caught on a hook
By the political will of a child, and we know
That the chances of getting through this unscathed
Are spiralling right down to low
And the world is a nightmare
Don't stop, collect your future
Run past Go
What lies behind those faces
What votes, what intentions to bare?
If we should turn up, looking pretty
Will they do more than stare?
Is it all the same?
What's changed, what's new?
Are we suddenly more aware?
And we know
That these streets aren't ours to roam
So we'll find a place
To make our home
Have our own little party
Some day
Maybe you'll see us
And you won't look away
You won't look away
One day
You'll believe us (til then)
You can't take our pulse
You can't take our pulse
No
When I was a child I thought I was something male
But I turned out wrong
I gradually grew, and inside I knew
That in time I'd come out strong
And now I extend an invitation to you
Through a winter's song
And you know
I couldn't have done it on my own
And you will never
Be alone
Come and join the party
Some day
One day
They'll believe us (til then)
They can't take our pulse
They can't take our pulse
We will take
The streets for ours and we will make
The world resound
With the sound of living
Living
Some day
Maybe they'll see us
And they won't look away
They won't look away
One day
You'll believe us (til then)
You can't take our pulse
You can't take our pulse
But right now
It's our party
To celebrate our lives
And build us as we thrive
And one day
We'll be living
Pulses beating on
Pulses beating strong

I don't deserve this music
I stole it, how can I use it?
Well-meaning, but oh so proud
Insidious ways to play
Songstruck, and when in doubt
It's robbery day today
Always
I wrote a song to cleanse this
Made you my amanuensis
But yours was the voice at first
Your genesprung melody
Your history constructs the verse
The choruses, the key
You see
Well, there's no need to splain it to you
We've been around and you know what we do
We are the curse and we honour you
We 'honour' you
Consuming your music stripped from its bones
Deadened, condensed into echo earphones
This is a crime, at the end of the day
And so it merely remains to say
We don't deserve this music
We stole it, so we will use it
But yours was the voice at first
Insidious wins the day
Songstruck, and what a curse
It's robbery day today
Just play

The Gardeners
05:35

|
Distant sunrise in your eyes
And the hope you had this morning will subside
Sleeping through the day like you were never born
And it falls on me to keep you warm
The silver stars sequestered in your smile
Keep me buoyed, for all the while
I can be by your side, as long as you need me
Keep me
Tending our garden
How many spoons do we have today?
Save yourself for what you can
Leave to me everything you can't
Build your days a living plan
We'll lie in our garden and we'll plant
Propagate the days and months and years
Cultivate the cure for every tear
And I will be by your side, as long as you need me
Keep me
Tending our garden
How many spoons do we have today?
Sometimes I can't do it all
Sometimes I'm afraid to fall
But every time I'll heed your call
And together, we'll miss the wall
Take the road on through the horizon
Give our hearts something to smile on
You and I together, as long as you'll have me
I'll be
Tending our garden
I will be there with you
When there's nothing else that you can do
I will lie there with you
In the pretty garden where we grow our spoons
I will take care of you
When there's nothing else that you can do
I will lie there with you
In the pretty garden where we grow our spoons
I will take care of you
When there's nothing else that you can do
I will lie there with you
In the pretty garden where we grow our spoons
I will take care of you
When there's nothing else that you can do
I will lie there with you
In the pretty garden where we grow our spoons
I will take care of you
When there's nothing else that you can do
I will lie there with you
In the pretty garden where we grow our spoons
We'll lie in the grass
You and I
Safe from all our past
We'll lie in the grass
You and I
Safe from all our past
