Lyrics

Words and music by roddy frame

Like a child could have the trigger
And the best man needn't fall
To understand that heaven
Could be any place at all
Just five colours set in motion
And I try again to place it
And it's features are obscured
Everytime I turn to face it
But I still chase it

Oh it's twists are cruel and hopeless
Like neglect has worn it thin
And it could rip the sky wide open
And let the rain come tumbling in

And we wait on every whisper
Like it makes us more alive
There's a sense we didn't have
And I feel it in the other five
See the pity and the pride
In the same sea of emotion
Cup my hands and touch the tide
And expect to feel the ocean
It's just a notion

And the knife has got my number
And the number that you keep
And the knife has called division
And it's drawn when I'm asleep

Oh it's twists are cruel and hopeless
Like neglect has worn it thin
And it could rip the sky wide open
And let the rain come tumbling in
