Is this thing on? The picture's skewed I don't know if I see you Connection's gone We're losing touch We've gone back to the dial-up We've been so lonely in this space I know the outcome of the race Leave us, surely there's next time Show us, surely there's next time Feel us, surely there's next time Love us, surely there's next time The time is gone The day is through And memory's a choice that can please you A different pace, but the same shape I've got a job so I hate it There's got to be another midnight There's got to be another midnight There's got to be another midnight There's got to be another midnight, yeah It's a halt, a pause Stopping all the wrong cogs A static wheel It's rust and I feel I'm closing in I'm closing in I'm closing in I'm closing in Leave us, surely there's next time Show us, surely there's next time Feel us, surely there's next time Love us, surely there's next time

The view The haze Smokestack eyes ablaze With black With grey All that's in between We clear the mist Breathe the clouds away Stay here My love Concussed and feeling strange I've been looking around the fog Can't stoke the flame With smiles on your face If skies are blue The music is confused Can't be looking around the fog Won't be looking around the fog To feel the pain To wade through it again

When the heartbeat slows You cannot hesitate The mildew grows Outside the footprint holes Steeped in fright Out of your mind Anywhere we go That's fine When the heartbeat slows The eyes they operate A different code And the gaze grows cold Steeped in light Out of your mind Anywhere we go We're fine The gap between two thoughts, it shows The tide's gone out the sea is low The gap between two thoughts, it shows The tide's gone out the sea is low

It's all on the wire It's all on the can They're sending words over We wait on our hands The reflex instinctual A jerk of the knee The outwards sensations Keep the innards clear We've heard all the news We've seen what will be Don't you sink any faster The rains are coming To wait out the weather Is to lay down and die It's the mother and father It's the vice that will last Wipe that smile from your face Because the fool is complete Take the horns of dilemma And impale the beast I'm curious to see Yeah I'm curious to see I'm curious to see Yeah I'm curious to see

about

Vital Sparks Melbourne, Australia
