about

The Irish singer-songwriter's second album offers a cutting deconstruction of the subtle taboos in today's society. Its sound is dark, and more suggestively experimental than his debut, but it's still a very acoustic record at its core.

Track Name: brother
my brother died last winter
he just faded away
he found his self destruction
west of liberty bay
and if you'd have seen him
it would of torn your heart
he was aged and broken
with a white lily in his hand

my brother was a killer
and he was a poet too
he'd hurt you with a bullet
but his words left fatal wounds
and if you'd have seen him
and lived to tell the tale
your songs would ring through smoky nights
and your scars would bleed with truths

my brother was a sailor
he saw the whole world through
he had his share of lovers
he left a broken hearted few
and if you'd have seen him
in your wine stained wedding dress
and mourned the thought of distances
you would have seen him at his best

i've lost myself
time devastates
our dreams

my brother was a sensitive man
he was haunted all his life
he couldn't stand the pain he'd caused
but he just played his hand as dealt
and if you'd have loved him like me
you would have felt my sorrow
you would cry the tears of salt
that you tasted on my cheek
Track Name: the stall
when the last light
went off on me
i was left stood in the dark
i stayed there till dawn
with the wind's lonely song
i won't back down just yet
i'll be by the stall
till they drag me away
leave a thought if you're passing through
i always said i would be
and look at me now
i was the last to leave

some poor homeless kid
pulled a lamp from the dirt
then he smiled like a little child
and the rats sniffed the air
the cold is coming now
you'd be better to find somewhere to hide
they're closing me down
my time is running short
i'll be stood by the arcade wall
i always said i would be
and look at me now
i was the last to leave

i used to be a man of prayer
but for me things have changed
i don't think like that anymore
i don't think there's a plan
or a right way to be
there's just greed and there's all that you can grab
and the birds have flown south
and the spring has turned to stone
and the bloom is just a fading thought
i always said i would be
and look at me now
i was the last to leave
