1.	The Bedroom (feat. Nick Hudson) 03:21	lyrics	buy track
Here I made myself a bedroom For to play out love and lust Dredged up from some burlesque bedlam Scented with a rectal musk Here I felt the earth split open I’ve felt oceans fall and rise At the ceaseless thrusting motion At the flexing of those thighs At the grinding of our groins At the tearing of our teeth Both our bodies grappled here 'Till mine was the one underneath Here where we made our nest of skin Here where we played out every part Here where I let the knife dip in Here where it haemorrhaged my heart Something shook me from my sleep My feeble form, shivering and wet Grasps for the dreams I longed to keep Seeped from my pores with cold night sweat This night I grapple with disease Locked in a dialogue with death Searching my soul for calm and peace Love for this fastly fading flesh Here where we made our nest of skin Here where we played out every part Here where I let the knife dip in Here where it haemorrhaged my heart Give me one more chance to begin Take back my bedroom to its start Before I let the knife dip in Before it haemorrhaged my Heart My heart My heart My heart
2.	After the Flood (feat. Nick Hudson) 02:27	lyrics	buy track
After the flood There was waste, there was mud And the wreckage of all of us flailing Grasping for fragments Of what we once had When we were young and life seemed plain sailing Grasping for dignity Grasping for hope Grasping for strength Just to survive and cope But it all washed away In the deluge that day And we're left high and dry In it's wake After the flood We crawled out of the sludge Like the first from primordial slime We came to our feet And we soon learned to speak All wounds will be healed in due time Walking onwards to freedom Onwards with pride Onwards in pain With the thorn in our side Of when all washed away In the deluge that day And we took about all We could take After the flood Crawling out of the mud We foraged to find a new start Patching the holes Making new of the old We pushed 'till we ploughed a new path Healing the wounded The damage now done Building defences 'Till the next flood comes And it's all washed away In the deluge again And we're left high and dry In it's wake
