Just where do I become content?
These sins surrounding me.
This distraction, a heart-strung reaction
Open hands and fractured smiles.
Oh, the veils, veils, veils
All the time, surrounding me.
I'll never be hurt this way again,
Ridding myself of niaive content.
It's nothing, my feelings
Inside.
It's something, I've known
Inside
I could almost hear her breathe
You could feel her breath upon you.
And so it had to end
A ghost, a pill, a forgotten friend.
It's just Like Mother said,
Read it once then leave again.

I've been called away by my own name
In another's tongue, somehow familiar
One moment of beauty
Looking at land and sea
I lost my identity
Found stillness within me
Unguided by Man but by the distant seas of fate
The love of the Earth in this special place
But there's so much more to the land
when the spirit sees
The whole world within me

A child in a curious phase
A man with sullen ways
Oh, I know very well how I got my name
You think you were my first love
You think you were my first love, but you're wrong
You were the only one
Who's come and gone
When thirteen years old
Who dyed his hair gold ?
Oh, I know very well, I don't need to be told
You think you were my first love
You think you were my first love, but you're wrong
You were the only one
Who's come and gone
You were the only one
Who's come and gone

The first album, A Sea of Stars, is lo-fi electronica - New Order with Casiotones. The second, Cold, is a far harder new wave guitar sound.
