“Every so often, seemingly out of nowhere, an album crops up that simply hits the spot, pushes all the buttons and keeps one’s finger stabbing at the repeat button. Perfectly played and arranged with sterling performances by all four musicians, intelligently written, original and diverse, The Third Ending have created a masterpiece that deserves to be heard all around the world.”

LYRICS

Eleven

Silent for so long inside your cage
Tell me how does it feel to take the blame?
I’ve swallowed all the stories that you told
An answer is all I want before you go

We are poles apart my friend
In spite of how you try
You cannot change the end
And I, I wont hesitate
To hang my head and wait
But only for a moment this time

Underneath the surface, barely even there
Tell me what you’re thinking so I can understand
Learning you by instinct only
Is a waste of time

Hanging on is nothing new
You don’t have long, so tell the truth

We are poles apart my friend
In spite of how you try
You cannot change the end
And I, I wont hesitate
To hang my head and wait
But only for a moment this time

Tow the line
Help me through
Watch your back
It’s not over
Trust in me
Don’t let go
We’re wasting time

Hanging on is nothing new
You don’t have long, so tell the truth.

We are poles apart my friend
In spite of how you try
You cannot change the end
And I, I wont hesitate
To hang my head and wait
But only for a moment this time
Keeping silent for so long
How does it feel to take the blame?
You never wanted to be saved

Back Home

Wide eyed, encumbered
By an image of you
Taking me over

I can’t see you
But I know you’re there
Disconnected
Pulling me closer

So far away, from here

You know now that it’s over
The silence leaves me shuddering
I lose myself for days
And find myself just staring at the wall
It seems in a moment of carelessness
Your whole world can slip away
So far away

Close your eyes, drift away
Float away
It took a lifetime to fall
And I don’t want to wake up from this dream
There’s nowhere else to go
So I’ll find my way back home

Never mind the distant thundering
The sound of your defences giving in
It seems as if you’re crumbling
I feel the cracks appear beneath your skin
Over and over again

Close your eyes, drift away
Float away with the emptiness of this moment
It took a lifetime to find you, to fall
And I don’t want to wake up from up this dream
There’s nowhere else to go
So I’ll find my way back home

So far way from here

Close your eyes, drift away
Float away with the emptiness of this moment
It took a lifetime to find you, to fall
I don’t mind, and you will never know
I’ve been left with nowhere else to go
So I’ll close my eyes and drift away
Float away with the emptiness of these moments
It took a lifetime to find you, to fall from here
I don’t want to wake up from this dream
Now I know there’s nowhere else to go
So I’ll find my way back home

Tungsten Blues

(Instrumental)

Can You Hear Me?

Spent the last two years dividing
Seems she wants to multiply
Tired of just surviving
Another day has passed him by
An unfamiliar story
Is something he has yet to try

Can you hear me?

She lies awake beside him
Drifting in and out of sleep
She feels the coldness growing
With every broken beat
So she reads aloud the headlines
Hoping that he’s heard
She says she loves him
He doesn’t say a word

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me at all?
Will you be there to break my fall?
Will you be there at all?

It seems like a lifetime
Since she disappeared
She tried to tell them
But they refused to hear
And now that she’s gone
There’s no one else to blame
And the space she left behind her
Bleeds like an open vein

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me at all?
Will you be there to break my fall?
Will you be there at all?

I called to say I’m sorry
And let you know what’s on my mind
So many things left hanging
It’s hard to leave the past behind
I hope that when you hear this…

Can you hear me?

Fingerprints

Awake from a broken lullaby
A glimpse from the corner of your eye
Something that fades into a shadow
Safety in isolation there
Your own secret shelter from their stares
A place where you know you’ll be alone

You can take all that you find
But don’t forget to leave your fingerprints behind

Digital Sunrise

His world is in fast forward
But he keeps one finger balanced over pause
A lifetime in an instant
But he never seems to notice anymore
Years of Isolation
Loneliness he cannot understand
He holds on to his reason
But it’s slipping through his grip like grains of sand

Staring round a vacant room
Waiting for the night to end
Watching as the world wakes up
To a digital sunrise

His world is disconnected
Analysed with every move he makes
A mind being overloaded
Senseless static, asleep but wide awak
Filtered through his memories
Pieced together pictures from the past
And falling all around him
The silence shattering like glass

All his life spent waiting for the right time
(please wake up)
All his life spent waiting here alone
All his life spent searching for a reason
For all the times he waited for the light

Cold Light Of Day

I know it’s a mystery, this landslide
Seems like I’ve shut down on the inside
I wonder why I hold on
To things that won’t be here long
Don’t make me question my awareness
Something is rising from the darkness
You can’t hold it down
I can’t hold it down

Falling

Opened myself up
Thought the words would come so easily
But I found a hollow
I think that’s where lost my sanity
Searched for the edges
Feeling slowly through the emptiness
Nothing feels right now
Everything’s become so meaningless

Nobody watching
No one knows I’m falling from my place
Nobody near me
Not that they would catch me anyway

My Resistance is failing
Leave me here so I can feel the pain
My consciousness breaking
Fighting through the madness everyday
Trapped in a nightmare
How could I think I was ever free?
Fading to darkness
Turning from the light that blinded me

Nobody watching
No one knows I’m falling from my place
Nobody near me
Not that they would catch me anyway

Part V

Nobody watching
No one knows I’m falling from my place
Nobody near me
Not that they would catch me anyway

Coming Around

Surrounded by uncertainty
Searched for something to believe
The weight of the world upon your shoulders
The one thing you couldn’t leave behind
Was one thing you could’ve done without
You always wanted something more
You didn’t feel it drag you down

You found your way back to this place
And realised that all along
You had to come back here to move on
Did you find that you had grown?
Have you come into your own?

So draw the blinds and lock the door
And once again, just like before
Search for the meaning in connection
Bathed in an artificial light
Eyes reflecting black and white
A window to the world outside
Was opened up inside your mind

Looking back from far away
You realised that all along
You had to come back here to move on
Did you find that you had grown?
Did you come into your own?

All of my life spent treading water
(Awake from a broken lullaby)
All of my life spent here alone
(A glimpse from the corner of your eye)
All my life spent waiting for the light

You’ve fallen to where you used to be
No longer blind
Nothing will ever be the same
Now that you know the reason why

Fingerprints (reprise)

Awake from a broken lullaby
A glimpse from the corner of your eye
Something that crawls out of the shadows
Safety from isolation here
No need to shelter from their stares
A place where you know you’re not alone

You can take in all you find
But don’t forget to leave your fingerprints behind
