ELOUI - TANGLES AND LOOSE ENDS
01 THESE ARE MY HANDS
These are my hands
These are my bones and tendons and veins
These are my hands
These are my boots
These are my footsteps on unsolid ground
These are my boots
These are my coats
These are my feathers and whiskers and scales
These are my coats
These are my hands
These are my nights
These are my deepest forests and white wolves
These are my nights
These are my toys
These are my scissors and papers and rocks
These are my toys
These are my books
These are my unwritten stories and tales
These are my books
My feet are planted in today
02 STEAL MY JEWELLERY
It makes me happy that you stole all my jewellery
It makes me happy that you burned my dear diary
With my bow I shoot the arrow
Way over the top of this tree
But I guess I only borrow
What I think of myself as me
I wake up riding the two headed horse
Dashing through the rain
I wake up riding the two headed horse
Holding onto its mane
It makes me happy that you laugh about my artillery
It makes me happy that you overpaint my scenery
With my brush I paint a shadow
Right under the roots of this tree
But I guess I only borrow
What I think of myself as me
I guess I only borrow
What I think of myself as me
I guess we only borrow
What we think of ourselves as us
03 PILOT AND CREW
We are the pilot we are the crew we are the passengers
We are motor we are the view we are the aeroplane
We are the mother we are the sea we are the refugees
We are the others we are the we we are the hurricane
We are the singer we are the song we are the carnival
We are the story we are the pen we are the question mark
We are the wasteland we are the seed we are the arsenal
We are the city we are the beat we’re the amusement park
We are the concept we are the thought we are the elephant
We are the tortoise we are the fraud we are the hope for hope
We are the rumour we are the noise we are the symphony
We are the sirens we are the voice we’re the kaleidoscope
We are the jester we are the king we are the fisherman
We are the rebel we are the cause we are the carousel
We are the model we are the flash we are the limousine
We are the hunter we are the crash we are the wishing well
04 LEAVES ON TREES
If this is a sheet of paper
If these really are my words
This I do not know
If this is an empty canvas
If these really are my strokes
This I do not know
If this is a forgotten garden
If these really are my strokes
This I do not know
Leaves on trees
If this is a road to somewhere
If these really are my boots
This I do not know
If this is a song for someone
If these really are my beats
This I do not know
If this is a forgotten garden
If these really are my fruits
This I do not know
05 IN THE NIGHT
In the night when I’m alone
You try to steal me hug me take me away
But your vision is poor you only see black
So I light up my colours in the night
In the night when I’m alone
You try to kill me hug me take me away
But you’re hearing impaired you only hear fear
So I sing my own tune in the night
In the night when I’m alone
You try to steal me hug me take me away
But you sink like a stone into the ground
So I defy gravitation in the night

07 SEALED ENVELOPE
Let’s put those years in a treasure box
Let’s keep them save from our thunders and storms
I will not forget them
I will always remember
Let’s seal these words in an envelope
Let’s keep them save from all our hustles and fights
I will not forget them
I will always remember
Let’s wrap this nights in silver silk
Let’s keep them save from all our darkness and cold
I will not forget them
I will always remember
08 EGO SUPER NOVA
You’re not the center of the universe
You are the center of your universe
I’m not the center of the universe
I am the center of my universe
We’re not the center of the universe
We are the center of our universe
Being a sun doesn’t make you
The center of my universe
09 TEMPORARY STATIC NOISE
I keep your letters in a box under my bed
10 TANGLES AND LOOSE ENDS
This is a song for all things
That just happen to happen
This is a song for all imperfections and flaws
This is a song for all choices
That have not been taken
This is a song for all tangles and loose ends
This is a song for all moments
That nobody remembers
This is a song for all heroes who pass unrecognised
This is a song for all choices
That have not been taken
This is a song for all tangles and loose
