The Truth 02:27
Hey hey Live through it every day I’ll tear a piece of you Hey hey It’s more fun this way Stick the knife a little deeper Well, I guess the joke’s on me I took this way too far Shouldn’t of let myself inside your world Fell face down Hey hey Don’t you walk away I’ll have you run around in circles You don’t want to face the truth Would it kill you?

Brace 03:39
It’s twice as bad, things unforeseen Reluctant to accept whatever the circumstances may be The guidance of different shades that’s lead me for so long Would you help me stand? The curtains close to my body’s end Turn the page, many stories told In light of the predicaments, I fall on these darkened days Just lay down and brace yourself my love Play pretend, make it all disappear The worst is over now So go on and make yourself at home Get ready for another world I will meet you there Empty spaces on canvas is all Who would I be to let you carry the weight of my silence? The grown-up steps I longed for I can’t give them to someone else Empty, on and on Just lay down and brace yourself my love Play pretend, make it all disappear The door is open now It’s so beautiful, it’s like I’m home Time to let go, just let me go I will meet you there
3.
Admit One 04:13
There was a time your kindness seemed absurd to me Now fewer moments left to breathe On top a flight of stairs My mind is still awake Seems like forever that I've been here A wounded sky, so electric now it bleeds A picture frame, here as a child playing in the leaves Where greater evils lie The illusion that saves us Simply incomplete I ponder on our yesterdays These trembling arms embrace a place I've never been So here it is, I’m a survivor If actions speak so well It's all I need to know. No real change, just go easy on yourself Take a break from tragedy I've been dealt this hand Sure made it hard to step forward Never seizes to amaze me My turn is up, I’ll see you someday This helpless body takes the fold I’ve had enough, it's time to face it No more room for last goodbyes It’s just farewell.
4.
You Of Today 03:24
A couple of hours to wait Taking the time now to contemplate Get in the car, taste your evening pearls, and surrender Wish I could erase it Once made the fool there’s not much to offer We stand in line just to face it Cut through the diamonds, divest our crown Was I your favorite replacement? I don’t need this love to keep me sound from shame Reaching inside again I’ve been so cold to you, the lucid mimes I was confident, begged you to stay But you had roads to choose, your hidden vows Still think I’ve got much to lose Each our lives wouldn’t fit here When is it over? Clearly, it’s always the listener’s point of view.

Speak 03:17
Clear my throat, straight out come the words This time it might last for hours Never amounted to anything but it suits you You’re quite the nag, you are the disease, how wonderful a trait I’m rage and I’ve got my fist in a knot, see you caving in Here come your answers That’s just the way it goes I hope I made you feel you feel bad That’s just the way it goes Keep your collar on You’re so unreliable, yet so undeniable Watching you fold until you speak, you’re stuck with me Think you’re a star, well that’s o.k. I’ll crush your thoughts, crush your bones, smirk and wave First base, I’m always on, the strength you lost to trick me I’m rage and I’ve got my fist in a knot, see you caving in Here come your answers You’ve lost your name I’m all you’ve got, you will say nothing I’ll have you trained to be, a mat for servants feet Lungs are full, this time it’ll last for hours You’re like the plague, you’re like a disease, you better run I’m done with answers.

(Words by Catherine Sugrue) Forever an angel to me As you hold your hand in mine A beautiful soul encased You never cease to shine Misery’s on the outside Corroded by the storm There’s no need for solace dear Our friendship’s safe and warm And as your destiny unfolds Like a strung out lullaby Through everything, surrounds you I’ll stick by your side
7.
Spire 03:42
It’s not what you said It’s the way you won so carelessly Your wish resolved, not another word again And when all failed, you spoke the truth so blatantly We never crashed in hope’s field I’m unarmed, alone. But I’m not afraid Let’s face it, you’ll never give in You’ll waste it Seems like it’s always about what is right for you You set this straight Display what’s left of your decency Best left unsaid, I see right through your miserere, your show Break this spire I’ve spent a lifetime making sense of our engage Left as a crying shoulder trapped inside your cage
8.
You are the news, bad bones, sedated You're pulling straws to win your confidence What have you done? Where are you running? Stop looking down, the bridge is burning anyway Ready to explode, but I’d do anything to face you I’m half as brave as I used to be Just stuck my feet back in the water I’ll find a way and I’ll pave every bit for what it’s worth to me You set the fire when you called my name That was a big mistake You seem so pale, a dripping frown, divine Let the devil in Let him in to chase your tail You’re on the ground, sick to your spine Standing on the edge and I’ll do anything to reach you There's no divide, walk right through the blaze
9.
After the stars have faded Watching them fall, have they lost their wings? Washing the scars You offered me protection Silently leaning over What if that day I could just say to you, after all we’ve been through Goodbye friend If this were the last time, I wouldn’t resist to love For the moment only, a beautiful sleep But I’ll be there Consumed by the hold that takes me The gentlest response, a request well known No cause for alarm This guilt will disarm You graced me with direction Silently leaning over Puzzled by things we cannot break down The heart draws a weight, simply confound Outlining the message clearly Bound by the weakness, surrendering
10.
Belong 03:21
You don't have to be afraid Just thought I'd let you know You don't have to be afraid You see, this love will never die The chilling signs have us gasping now each time you breathe What our poisoned minds believe No need for heroes Look deep inside of you But melancholy’s strong, there are tough times ahead We’re back to zero Things I will guide you through Since there is no other place I know you'd rather belong It doesn't have to be today But self-destruction needs to go A tender heart that can be saved You see, this love can never die I don't care what was said, it's all irrelevant We’re here now, refuse to leave I don't want to be the one Walking outside the lines I'm sick of being a slave to this dark cloud I don't want to be the one The perfect alibi You’ll never know the meaning of this fear

about

Despite having disbanded in 2009 to pursue other venues, after a four year hiatus, the duo recorded material made available through their two associated acts, The Beautiful Ghosts and Clairemonte, also consisting exclusively as a duo.
