Lyrics by Ben Lynch

How can I trust you, when I can’t trust myself?
These visions are taking over, the title’s off the shelf
Heartbeats frozen in time, captured at their strongest
To reflect upon, when we feel our furthest.

The hours pass, the months, the years
The empty glass, wet behind the ears

Frames of you and frames of I
Mementos etched into our lives
Chasing the dream on broken knees
Buried beneath the autumn leaves

One foot in front of the other
lifelines pass us by from back to front
(Despair keeps us there)
Events strung out from one chest to another
Pulled tight to breaking point

Chasing the dream on broken knees
Buried beneath the autumn leaves

A path lit by candles is easy to lose
Feeling out in the dark

How can you know gain
Without an absence?
How can you feel pain
When the heart is stolen?
Crippled by the veins
Trapped in those moments.

Despair keeps us there

Frames of you and frames of I
Mementos etched into our lives
Chasing the dream on broken knees
Buried beneath the autumn leaves.
