Aroma 04:33
lyrics

Clouds spill across the water It’s a shore in the sky Masquerades a sea blue and bruised That’s always asking why Rivers of black Running down your veins It’s your sweet aroma It’s getting lost in the wind I’m where you should be But you have gone astray Try to grasp the dust in the air Through my fingers slip away Some have gone and some have stayed Not sure for how long at least for today Maybe tomorrow I just can’t say Don’t want to wait till it’s too late

People Mountain People Sea 05:08
lyrics

He walks the same habitual tunnels everyday He knows exactly when to catch the morning train He can get to work on time without his brain Cause’ it’s the same old same old day after day It’s easy to lose focus It’s easy to lament Hordes of faceless floating on the river of steps Places to go People to meet Souls floating flying on this people mountain people sea Some lives are made but most are lost In underground mazes souls trampled in dust It’s dig or be buried in this people mountain It’s sink or swim in the people sea Sometimes he wishes he’d be doing more Out there living life instead of the usual bore He knows he’s only got himself to blame The crazy world out there awaits it’s not too late We’re all made with hopes and dreams Are you becoming who you want to be?

When The Tracks Roll In 03:59
lyrics
buy track
There’s a smell in the air Lives were made, stories written He breathes it all in People were slower Enjoyed the little things Perhaps they knew more living Made less but had more living Life becomes a memory When the tracks roll in When the tracks roll in He walks around the roads It’s easy to get lost Even though he feels at home He misses it, feels the loss Even though he can’t say “it was mine” And time isn’t kind Nowadays, time isn’t kind

Not Now 03:34
lyrics
buy track
There will come a time when nobody makes a sound Hope runs dry, fear surrounds, silence rules and freedom drowns Good people become the bullet of a loaded gun Trade humanity for a cheque at the end of the month We agree on the end but just not the how Let me ask you when If not now? You burn down my home and then throw me the blame Your fog of lies in the air, the next typhoon will blow them away Go ahead, go to sleep and when you finally wake This place you know so well will never be the same Eighteen years, come of age, will I stand or will I bow I won’t let you win Not now.

Not Listening (ft. Samantha Yih) 04:03
lyrics
buy track
I’m at your door waiting for answers What’s the matter? Let me enter You put up your fences Built up your walls I tried to call Too tall, too small We both knew this was a long time coming You may not see but I know you’re hearing I wrapped up my face and covered my eyes But you can’t see past your clouds in the sky You’re not listening When you drowned me out that day in August Uneasy silence, empty promises

Give Up 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Give up it’s not worth the fight Give up you’ll ruin it all Give up there’s no room for you here Give up your back’s against the wall Go home there’s nothing you can do Go home you’ll always pay their dues Go home you’re wasting your breath Go home stop making a mess Stop making your mess I know, know we’re on the rocks I know, know what it might cost But I’m holding on to the arc of the universe Give up you’ve made your point Give up quit making your noise Give up nobody listens to you Give up there’s too much left to lose Too much left to lose

Life On The Road 04:36
lyrics
buy track
The air hangs heavy with the bitter taste of sentiment Plans for tomorrow, final glances She’s been around, smiles and parting words One thing to count on, dawn will rise Drifting off to sleep on her cardboard floor Memories and friendships in the middle of a war Battle’s almost over, war’s just begun She wrote her wishes on the cold hard ground Watched as their prayers drifted into the sky They go out of focus Stars are in the glass around Drifting off to sleep on her cardboard floor Memories and friendships in the middle of a war Battle’s almost over, war’s just begun Life, oh life, life on the road

Brothers In Arms 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Time passes us by The days oh they fly But I’ve never noticed you We hide our muted sighs No hi’s no goodbye’s What have the times come to? Overnight, our future denied Yesterday strangers, today we are neighbours City in harm, brothers in arms We kept our thoughts and fears Our faults through the years Now they are coming true We yell, nobody hears Hope disappears Nothing much left to do Overnight, we started a fight The stars are shining over the fragrant harbour once again

希望是你我 04:06
lyrics
buy track
心散如春雨 看不到遠處 不擇手段 回步復原 花費心機 也要繼續打氣 在漆黑的夜晚中 你不需要街上流浪 在漆黑的夜晚中 我看見你眼中陽光 請不要難過 托高頭可不可？ 希望是你我 單靠自己 一定站不起 看不到盡頭 就需要理由 繼續走, 繼續走
