Skin to Sea

<Section 1>
Thinkin’ of a season
That will never turn to earth again
Searchin’ for the reason
They pull a flower from the soil
And I don't know
That I’ll ever know your face again
And I don't know
That we could ever shake the feeling
That we only live to leave
It's the only way we could ever be
Skin, to sand, to sea
Is the only way we could ever be
<Section 2>
Sitting on a throne so free
You just come and go as you please
And I don’t know
If the rain could ever drown the sea
And I dont know now, I don’t know
<Bridge>
You were the world
You were the world
You were a world away
You were a world away
<Outro>
All your words and your memories,
Memories that I just can’t reach
(Oh, why can’t I?)
All your words and your memories,
They’re just skin, to sand, to sea
(I know I let you down, but I'll never let you go)

Empire

Where you gonna run?
When your empire burns
When the big wheel turns
‘round, tonight
And where you gonna be?
When your empire falls
Funeral guns they fire
At the myth of it all
And how you gonna feel?
When your empire’s gone
Sitting alone now
In your cities of dust
And who you gonna call?
When your empire falls
We can’t hear you
We don’t feel you now
And will you ever see the light?
Or are you blinded by
the herd and the lies?
You’ll only ever learn
When your empire burns
Well we can’t hear you now
Tonight
•
So, where are you now?
Where are you now?
When it all comes crashing down
Where would you go?
Where would you go?
When it all comes crashing down
Can’t hear you now
And now...
The nation wants to know

Delicate Surrender
04:03
|

|
I feel a silent thunder
Coming through and over you
Break down; spilling over
Falling through without reprove
Trippin' up on everything we're
Unravelling with the world
This strange hesitation
Can't speak when tongues are pulled
And all I hear is the sound
Of a distant memory
This delicate surrender
Is washing over me
A wicked blow it left you dry
Spilt the wine and soiled the sheet
Woke the boy and fed the beast
From who we were to where we've come
In that falling sun and rising tide
We held our feelings to the fire
Inside out, inside now
Leaving all the hurt aside
Searching for the other kind
Inside out, here and now
Burning all you left behind
Turning to another time
And all I hear is the sound
Of a distant memory
This delicate surrender
Comes washing over me
And here we are
You and I
Holding on
And here we are
You and I

Lovesong for an Apocalypse
In the morning light
Where the seagulls fly
Is where you will find me
With all our yesterdays
When the sea has turned
And the rivers burn
When the sirens ring
Will you wait there for me?
And you know we’re never going back
“Can we make it through?” I hear you say
Will we fall in the fight?
Can we keep it alive till it's coming through?
In this waking dream we’re stalling
Great divides are falling
By the side
It’s your guess or mine
Weak and weary
Can you even hear me?
If there’s nothing more to say
And nothing more to do?
And you know we’re never going back
“Can we make it through?” I hear you say
And we fall and we fight
And we keep it alive till it's coming through
Because the one thing that I know
Is that the centre will not hold
And the only thing we need
Are the feelings that we’re holding dear
Don’t leave me here alone
In fear, at the end
Fading, fading, I'm fading away
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm watching,
We’re fading
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting
I'm watching, keep fading, keep fading
I'm fading, I'm fading away
Gotta keep, keep it together
Gotta keep, keep it together
Because the one thing that I know
Is that the centre will not hold
And the only thing we need
Are the feelings that we’re holding dear
Don’t leave me here alone
Because the one thing that I know
Is that the centre will not hold
And the only thing we need
Are the feelings that we’re holding dear
I won't leave you here alone
In fear, at the end

Bridge

Will we ever feel the sun now, will we?
Will we ever feel the sun now on our skin?
Our skin
Will we ever learn to love now, will we?
Will we ever learn to love again?
Again
Will we ever learn to heal the difference?
Will we ever learn to heal these differences?
Will we ever feel the sun now, will we?
Will we ever feel the sun now on our skin?
Our skin
Will we ever get to bridge the distance?
Will we ever get to bridge these distances?
These distances

DAIISTAR is a lot of fun. I first heard them at Austin Psych Fest before Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. My husband and I were so impressed, so I made sure to remember the band name. Tracemaker is the song that got our attention as we were waiting for BRMC. I love the sound and vibe of DAIISTAR.
