Through

We cannot change the past
There are memories we cannot forget
But we are still writing
The storyline in which they're set

Let the Water

I have always, always known

Why you struggle to believe and why you keep thinking to leave

Stop thinking you’re the only one scared

The only one that’s going to be unprepared, if it all comes down

Aint nothing but your deep fences, deep fences

Aint nothing but your deep fences, need to come down

Oh don’t it feel like we’re all trying to let go

Of something, someone, or feelings kept on the low

Oh and this emotional dishonesty

It just keeps us from releasing all of those fears

And drawing us near

We’ve got to let the water, we’ve got to let the water

Oh don’t it feel like some have lost their inner guide

They’re sleepwalking blind, to their own light

But it’s too dangerous to wake them from their dream

Before they have gleamed what they must

We just gotta trust, they will find their way, home

For there in the shallows lie waiting, no monsters,

You know we can go there

And we can be free of the cells, we’ve imposed upon ourselves

Don’t be afraid of yourself, just let the water

So you can move, so you can move

Aint nothing but your deep fences, deep fences

Need to come down

Let it go, let it go and float up

So you can move, deep fences

So you can move, deep fences

Let it go, let it go, let it go and float up

Float

Into my waking life

Your colours seep

Into the corners

Paint my mind a forgotten hue

Surroundings seem an unsightly confusion

There’s no falling for you

I float right up to the surface

And it’s safe to sink a little further

When someone’s there

To bring you up for air

Someone

A million thoughts race through my mind

Only one stays to pass some time

Today it’s the same dark memory

That floated in out of nowhere yesterday

Nothing can undo what has been done

All I can do is try to become

What I needed all along

A person to turn to

When the world came undone

I want to be that someone

To whom you can run

 

The Otherside

It’s time to put away that broken piano

Time to push aside, that stringless guitar

Don’t even think about trying to ring that bell

Oh no, you know, you know it aint got no body

That bell, you know it aint got no body

It’s time to dance, time to dance

Take a chance, it’s time to dance

Take a chance, it’s time to dance,

Time to dance

To the otherside

Oh a place so light, no walls to play

No walls no walls

For just one moment

No walls no walls

Where you am I, and I am you

And you am I, and we are through

Teardrop

[Massive Attack]

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Night, night after day
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my...

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

You stumble in the dark
You stumble in the dark

Through the Dark

Don’t go reading too much into

What I sing about

You know as well as I do

I’m just stumbling in the dark

And I was never taught guitar

But if I was

It would be to speak my heart

Despite the dark

What made you so sure that I

Didn’t always have an eye

For the dark, from the start

I lived in the dark, I lived in the dark

I lived through the dark, I lived through the dark

I lived, I lived, I lived, I lived, I lived

And my heart, and my heart

Says I don’t need no guitar

What Your Soul Sings

[Massive Attack excerpt]

Don't be afraid
Open your mouth and say
Say what your soul sings to you

Your mind can never change
Unless you ask it to
Lovingly re-arrange
The thoughts that make you blue
The things that bring you down
Only do harm to you
And so make your choice joy
The joy belongs to you

All Hands on Deck

I see you standing, I’m looking at you standing there

Was it before too long, I realise my looks a stare    

Oh no it’s dawned on me, I’m really lost at sea

I'm gunna need my crew, if I hope to make it through, this

All hands on deck, I don’t want no shipwreck

I’m going to see this through

Coz the jig is up, the noose is down

I’m walking the plank and I aint going to drown

All hands on deck, I don’t want no shipwreck

I’ve got to see this through

From the dawn light, through the sunlight, back to starlight

I’m going to make it through

Toss me my blackjack, I need a shot of thunderclap

Today a nipperkin won’t do

When you swing that boom, step away from the bow

And while you’re in the galley, would you check the hold

I want to know, because I don’t know

If I’ve got what it takes, to brave these waves

All hands on deck

I don’t want no shipwreck

I’m going to see this through

From the dawn light, through the sunlight, back to starlight

I’m going to make it through

Hey you in the crow’s nest!

Weren’t you supposed to be looking out for what was best?

You better get off the rum, it’s all about to come undone

And drop me the telescope, now I know the damn thing it wasn’t broke

We’ve been holding it the wrong way around

All hands on deck
I don’t want no shipwreck

I’m going to see this through

From the dawn light, through the sunlight, back to starlight
I'm going to make it through

From the dawn light, through the sunlight, back to starlight

I’m going to make it through
