PAINT BY NUMBERS
You’ve got smoke in your eyes/and holes in your shoes
Your home unknown/your soul is not your own/you’ve got nothing to lose
‘Cause you broke your own imagination/it doesn’t paint in colour in your head
You threw it down and stamped the ground/when left for dear the colours came out black and white and red
Human behaviour is left behind/you carry your headstone through the night
You’re tied to the grind/you live so you can die
So paint by numbers/for the rest of your days
And never breach the surface/never let the danger in
You feel no joy in loneliness/you feel no pain/you only feel the same thing
Believe no fate and feel no hate just concentrate on floating in the boat you’re sinking in
Human behaviour is left behind/you carry your headstone through the night
You’re tied to the grind/you live so you can die
You take no comfort in a quiet room
Your weakness is incredible/it’s terrible and cruel
It’s not so hard for you to take/another fake for fate to hate
You have no pride to feel the ache
You have no heart for me to break
Human behaviour is left behind/you carry your headstone through the night
You’re tied to the grind/you live so you can die
So paint by numbers

Delphians - Silence Song
04:36

SILENCE SONG
As a child I saw a scene/and no-one stood where a boy should be
And your soul didn’t come out to play
It was lost and their faces turned away
You can’t make the connection you feel no affection
You can’t find a place to begin
The deathless repercussions of meaningless discussion
Fill the cracks of silence in
Time moved on and you just didn’t fit
And hatred came as love’s counterfeit
And it stood. It stood and it stared
And shadows fell inside your head
The enmity is growing/the feeling of not knowing
Everything is wearing thin
The deathless repercussions of meaningless discussions
Fill the cracks of silence in
You know something’s wrong/’cause you feel so dead inside
And doing it wrong should never feel so right
Out of sight
You can’t speak through the silence/your voice is in violence
The human tide is rolling in
The dealthless repercussions of meaningless discussion
Fill the cracks of silence in
You can’t make the connection you feel no affection
You can’t find a place to begin
The deathless repercussions of meaningless discussion
Fill the cracks of silence in.

Delphians - Nowhere Rose

NOWHERE ROSE
Dark shapes in the clouds
From the start they let you down
Now your shadow’s long and you lost your grace
A crater stands in your place
Nowhere rose/turn your face to the sun
I just cannot get you/get out of my head
I just cannot get you/I’m scared that you’re dead
There’s no reflection in your eyes
All you have now is killing time
And licking old wounds
And learning old hate
Old man/you made a mistake
You showed me your hate and anger came
Old man/it’s so hard to define
What you lose when you’re reading between the lines
Nowhere rose/turn your face to the sun
I just cannot get you/get out of my head
I just cannot get you/I’m scared that you’re dead
Old man
Nowhere rose/turn your face to the sun
I just cannot get you/get out of my head
I just cannot get you/I’m scared that you’re dead

Delphians - Branches

BRANCHES
I’m running up reasons for riding on trains
The minutes and miles I quickly forget
More than leaves on the line
And time on my mind
My travelling partner gave me a gift
The paper and perfume made me accept
I think that she said
That “when the logic runs short let the love come in”
Branches passing messages to you
Swimming through the tide of people
Following the sound of bells
A storm in hell would not turn your head
Branches passing messages to you.
