The Wretch
When I Fall

1. Elemental
Written and recorded by Michael Weeks
Bass: Har
Michael Weeks: Guitars, Keyboards, Drum programming, Vocals

I spent so long, looking for a sign
looking for a place looking for a face
now I remember
I met you there, in the fading light,
it was cold that night,
do you remember

I remember you, do you remember me.
looking out at the skyline, waiting

I remember your face, your eyes gentle gaze
looking out at the skyline, waiting

all the things we thought could be were moments away
looking out at the skyline, waiting

the night fell all around, sky crashing down
looking out at the skyline, waiting


2. Temporary
Written and recorded by Darren Halm and Michael Weeks
Darren Halm: Baritone Guitar, Guitar, Bass
Michael Weeks: Guitar, Keyboards, Feedback loops, Drum programming, Vocals

time is nothing
but the space between
in the quiet moments
without a time or a place
seconds are failing
behind these eyes
in the quiet moments
into the light

we are temporary
we're a moment in a flash of light
we are secondary
to the truth that comes from dreams at night

I am nothing
in this space I've made
in this shattered cell
I hear the sounds
the beating of a heart
inside my chest
in these quiet moments
into my mind

I am temporary
I'm a moment in a flash of light
I am secondary
to the truth that comes from dreams at night

we are temporary
we're a moment in a flash of light
we are secondary
to the truth that comes from dreams at night

far
to go
with no real time
hearts and minds
in a static mine

pace
the time
I walk towards mine
to the fireline

behind the fire
behind the fire
behind the fire
behind the fire

I waited for you
behind the fire
but you fell
to flames in my heart

I waited for you
inside the sky
but rain washed
your face away

behind the fire
behind the fire
behind the fire
behind the fire

I waited for you
inside the sky
but rain fell like fire
till daylight

I waited for you
but time moved by
and flames fell
to wash me away

backwards facing

I lost you there

I left you a long time ago
should have known that you would find me
living in these darkest circles

falling losing every breath
everytime I touch your skin
spinning in these darkest circles

we waited for the morning till the overhead was under red
singing into stars like burning air inside my chest
thoughts I had then matter just as little as
the thoughts I have now

I open my eyes, look up to the sky and realize
we never had a moment that could happen now
we never had a chance to see the clouds, the circles darken

empty sky above
and the shadows move without a trace

as I rise away
from the ground below, from everything

everything I see
is falling away with no clarity

everything I am
is lost to the memory, lost to the ecstasy

everything I see, everything I see, everything I see

empty sky below
and our shadows move over everything

as we rise away
from the ground below, from everything

everything I was is behind me
everything I had is gone
everything I've loved is forgotten
everything I need is you
