lyrics

This house of cards began a lean to.
That's what friends are for.
In order, to remain standing,
We all need support.
Love triangles, depend upon each other.
But all our angles and perspectives differ.

God forbid you slam a door in anger,
Or embrace the earthquake of belly laughter,
Or let escape your rebellious teenager sighs,
Of pleasure,
The house will fall asunder.

King and Queen, Jack and Joker,
We all must silently take our sides.
Except the virtuous ace card,
She just can't decide.
Until the blow of her overheard whisper,
Brings the fall.
'I didn't mean it!,
I felt a draft at the door and I couldn't ignore it!'

Give into your rounded shoulders,
Or trust enough to unveil,
The wrinkling twitches and flushing tears,
That roll across your face like waves.
The patterns of the universe.
The inevitable cyclical ending...

Keep the peace, between the walls, that divide us.
Keep the peace, between the walls, that divide us.
Keep the peace, between the walls, that divide us.
Keep the peace, between the walls, that divide us.

Within a structure so delicate it cannot bind us.
Within a structure so vulnerable it can't protect us.

Keep the peace, between the walls, that divide us.
Keep the peace, between the walls, that divide us.

At once minimal and dramatic, their soundscape of cutting vocals, gritty cello and cyclical guitar is embedded in Irish roots and entwined in love of off-kilter pop, romantic & contemporary classical music and jazz extemporisation. ... more
