PERCHED ON THE CITY WALL
- Words by Ezra Hocquard
VERSE I
Appearing close enough to touch
Nothing depends on that focus.
Troubled me, troubled me
Vacant love, has never been.
It's a lonely track
To keep a win untold
Unsold I'm a window burning down
A lovely fool.
CHORUS I
Perched on the city wall
I'd never fall into your field
You know you keep us close to disaster.
VERSE II
Sad to say it's washed away.
Every step has gone to waste.
Distorted views - I write them off
The city works with pulling straws
Tragedy, tragedy -
All you've left for me to see
As blind as I've been, I have the wings
I'll find a day to reach the bridge.
BRIDGE
It's either fast safe easy.
And unlike me, or somewhere else
Before you walk the valley
I'll interfere - until you're manic.
It's a long way down...
VERSE I (reprise)
Appearing close enough to touch
Nothing depends on that focus.
Troubled me, troubled me
Vacant love, has never been.
It's a lonely track
To keep a win untold
Unsold I'm a window burning down
A lovely fool...
Down a lovely fool.
CHORUS II
Perched on the city wall
I'd never fall into your field.
Tremors keep us close to disaster
You know you keep us close to disaster.

MERRY BIRD
- Words by Ezra Hocquard
VERSE I
Skeptical thoughts of a merry bird
On the herb getting served.
Slamming the door on a beauty queen
Telling steep lies; she corners me.
Caught in the act with a planned attack,
Yet I oversee.
Shiver I do but I can't divide her heartbeat
I turn and leave.
BREAK
It took the saddest girl to wander into my heart
For me to foresee a paper thin facade.
VERSE II
Press on the past when I see you pass
Talk about torn open dreams
Amongst the restless I search
For you on the avenues that we wish had been.
See the paths now have broken down
With darkened clouds; splinters at our feet.
Now foretold they behold
Cold energy.
BREAK
Silence can wear me
We're frozen in the decay
And both caving in
A love paper thin.
CHORUS
Cold energy upon my sleeve
Smashing it up the sad mirror-breach
Photographs I burn em instantly
Hot Kuwaiti love ain't too free.
BRIDGE
I'm not holding on to this
I'm not cold enough for this
I'm not holding onto this
I'm letting her go now
Hot Kuwaiti love ain't too free.
CHORUS
Cold energy upon my sleeve
Smashing it up the sad mirror-breach
Photographs I burn em instantly
Hot Kuwaiti love ain't too free
VERSE III
Buried the days that had made us cry
Trying to find a day to heal
Right with her now though I try to hide I try
So just save your view to steal
Vowed to be suave in the mayhem
Still my fight at getting with the real gem
Caught in the act with a planned attack
Get off my mad track or then, again.

SABRETOOTH MASSEUSE
- Words by Ezra Hocquard
VERSE
She'd bite me
And flat-line me.
Then revive me
Lord to see me shivering.
Quite clearly
She's scary
Beside myself
I know she's suffering.
Defend me
Once she's getting heavy
Her punchline
Oh good heavens is the punch.
Can't say I'm
Un-alarmed
Without a warning...
Whose here to calm me.
CHORUS
Just my sabretooth masseuse
VERSE
She's got the windows up
She's got the tinted glass
If anyone ain't close enough to her
They should not ask
She's off the track at will
And she needs a bank to kill
Your blood money spender
For speed lines of splendour
Damn walking beat that girl
Although a messed up fill
Beauty patrol has gotten
Too far out of hand for her
Wasn't trying to be protector
Or cry out of apprehension
Can't say I'm un-alarmed
I'm sipping her homemade brew
BRIDGE (verse 1 reprise)
She'd bite me
And flat-line me.
Then revive me
Lord to see me shivering.
Quite clearly,
She's scary
Beside myself
I know she's suffering.
Defend me
Once she's getting heavy
Her punchline
Oh good heavens is the punch.
CHORUS
Just my sabretooth masseuse.

PRESCRIPTION
- Words by Ezra Hocquard
VERSE I
Tell me what's your limit
How you do no wrong
Quit separating me from you
Lets just perform
On a river serving ruin
What more?
You give me something magic
All on the way home.
CHORUS I
Somewhat something
More than enough
Love from your sweetheart
Once again...
My name is on your prescription.
VERSE II
Lights have blown yet
Your light has shone on me
Like I've been known
For so long
More than a prize
Delight from your eyes
Damn blinding
Still my love for you is strong
Remind me
How we can fall
Beyond our love
in the bitter cold
There's not a second to waste
Every word is a waste
Couldn't share with
My love refrained
CHORUS II
Somewhat something
More than enough
Love from my sweetheart
Once again...
My name is on your prescription
Somewhat something
More than enough
Love from your sweetheart
Once again...
Your name is on my prescription
BRIDGE
Sometimes we need something more.
Enough is enough.
CHORUS III
Somewhat something
More than enough
Love from your sweetheart
Once again...
My name is on your prescription.
Somewhat something
More than enough
Love from my sweetheart
Once again...
My name is on your prescription -
Your name is on my prescription.

URBAN SANCTUARY
- Words by Ezra Hocquard & Joseph Jujnovich
You're best to submerse those eyes
Well under water
Those tears roll off the high rise
Collect in gutters and aisles...
Enter the urban sanctuary
You'll be safe here.
Be best to subvert those eyes.

FAMINE OF LOVE
- Words by Ezra Hocquard
Your pain has a trickle down effect on me.
How I wonder much more that you regret
Take a picture if you need more to be feeling lonely
One look is not what I expect
Oh, you call me native property
Pure pain with broken thoughts
Said I'd like to tone me down
So here's my weaker voice.
Blood talking with a stain
Love tattoos on a brain
The test is not yet to begin
Your gypsy ways to pain are grim
If you feel light-headed.
Pain don't need to grow
Harboured in your loneliness
Pain don't need to grow
Harboured in your loneliness
Pain don't need to grow.
[Pain] don't need to grow.
Before you live the dream
You'll carry the famine of... the famine of love
Before you live the dream
You'll carry the famine of love
Pain don't need to grow
Run along you're good to go now loneliness.
Pain don't need to grow
Need to grow.

FOREST FLOOR
- Words by Ezra Hocquard
VERSE I
Dare second guess me
I'm not boobie trapping on her field
I'm in range on her plain
And she's got me in my place
Slow to affection
Too quick to reply
Just her lover from the forest
Running at a girl whose mine.
CHORUS I
And I'll hold you strong...
Yes your hairpin's on my forest floor
It's something more
That you're here with me when life's a war
I'll hold you close...
Yes your hairpin's on my forest floor
It's something more
That you're here with me when life's a war
VERSE II
And I'll hold you strong
On the hunt for something more...
So spear me for my dreaming
If I don't wake up.
This was a life of heartache
And I'm every form of shrub
CHORUS II
Still I'll hold you strong...
Yes your hairpin's on our forest floor
It's something more
That you're here with me when life's a war
I'll hold you close...
Yes your hairpin's on this forest floor
It's something more
That you're here with me when life's a war
BRIDGE
I'm charging now that you're near
Unearthed my sense of leisure
Our bond so hard to measure
Together we get better.
CHORUS III
Will you hold on strong...
With your hairpin on this forest floor
Will you still believe?
Will you plant the seeds after the war?

SOMBRE
- Words by Ezra Hocquard
VERSE I
Won't you snap my heart
In two again.
It's keeping me sombre
Fighting with my friend
Miss behaviour's taught me
Oh just how I love.
Keep oh keep me girl -
For seven days I'll speak in tongues.
The lost attraction
For the lover once pursued
Is keeping me sombre
And now I'm crying like I'm you
No time under the sun
Her flame in solitude
Well if it's best to burn - it's best to burn
Then delve into her rule
CHORUS I
Lovers hugging for a breakthrough
Never making love like we do
March to my heart with your guard down
I wouldn't wanna pawn you.
VERSE II
At the waters edge I strum
Until the weather cools
I thought of you for what it's worth
I've paid my dues.
And I miss you keeping it simple
And somewhat beautiful.
Won't you snap my heart in two again
It's leaving me sombre
Enlighten me again...
CHORUS II
Lovers hugging for a breakthrough
Never making love like we do
March to my heart with your guard down
I wouldn't wanna pawn you
OUTRO
Everyday should be a day for waking
To a girl with a face like yours
Everyday should be a day for waking
To a girl with a mind and soul like yours
Everyday should be a day for waking
To a girl with a body like yours
Everyday should be a day for waking
To a girl with a face like yours.
The flame in me sombre.

AFTER JUNK
- Words by Ezra Hocquard and Joseph Jujnovich
INTRO
A dead beat dreams over the scenes
Says when I can feel I can get real
Take time for myself to kick the habit
A moment of magic.
PRECHORUS
Close call to do-si-do
Beneath the brink of loss and cope
Chew rocks in a harsh place
Skipping stones above the rat race
CHORUS I
We're not after junk
Ahead of time - we improvise
We're not after junk.
We're not after junk
Our youth will rise - and synchronise
We're not after junk.
VERSE II
Hey, your little pipe dreams
Serve your optic nerve.
What you think of crashing
You crash into the curb...
PRECHORUS
Close call to do-si-do
Beneath the brink of loss and cope
Chew rocks in a harsh place
Skipping stones above the rat race
CHORUS II
We're not after junk
We choose our high - death defy
We're not after junk.
We're not after junk
Our youth will rise - and synchronise
We're not after junk.
OUTRO
A dead beat dreams over the scenes
Says when I can feel I can get real
Take time for myself.

RETURN TO ORIGIN
- Words by Ezra Hocquard and Joseph Jujnovich
INTRO / PRECHORUS I
Stunned by three expansive lies
that lead to misery
Defiance brought up from beneath
has caused them now to speak
CHORUS I
Don't talk to me
I see it from your face
You must think I'm just damn lonely
VERSE I
Once they had it going
More aligned to growth and time
Quality more to the point
Oh what they'd do for love to thrive.
Then suddenly they're reeling
Animosity implied
Divide of ambitions
Lessons learnt, not pushed aside.
PRECHORUS II
(instrumental)
CHORUS II
Don't talk to me
I see it from your face
You must think I'm just damn lonely
BRIDGE
They found it pains to be
Unforgiving.
They found their past
Was not worth reliving.
VERSE II
And they could go home
To the same old town again
To the same old friends
It's somehow essential
To clear the mind
Or unwind
CHORUS III
The road beyond is steep
Ripped open from the strain.
Pay the price, we're post-hurricane
And now alone let's see
Which feelings grow and fade.
Regards, the seasons wax and wane
Return to origin.

SNEAKY DEEP
- Words by Ezra Hocquard
VERSE I
Sparks in addition
To our ignited flame
Madness emitted
This fury burns the faint
And it's not more or less a given
We have the right to say
I can free you from deadly ember
Before there's hell to pay
CHORUS I
Bonfire burning free
Cliffs lined with twisting trees
We dive into the sea
Somewhat sneaky deep
VERSE II
Zoom in, you've got it here
Nightlife and fantasy
Zoom in, you've got it dear
So ripe quixotic deeds
Vacate the surface
Tread to my friendly fiends.
CHORUS II
Bonfire burning free
Cliffs shelter schoolies
We slide into the trees
Somewhat sneaky deep
BRIDGE
Finally see the currents
Shifted from the bar
As pulling us away
From ourselves
Let nature speak volume
The tides have pull
The tides do pull.
Finally see the currents
Shifted from the bar
As pulling us away
From ourselves.
Float with us tonight.
Streets lights before us.
CHORUS III
Bonfire burning free
Cliffs shelter schoolies.
We slide into the trees
Somewhat sneaky deep.
In our sanctuary
