For the time being In a world of bees, I was stung by the butterfly I’m hiding out like a cloud on the stariest night But I’m on the verge of a chance that is going to turn My whole world around I can’t deny I’ve thought about delivery. . . A stolen briefcase hidden under cover of night I’ll chuck it far off the bridge, cause it’s gonna let My whole world down Had my eyes to the ground, doubting all that I see Hung my head in the clouds so they’ll never find me Been burning the pages of all that I read Cause I see through the words and they’ll never fool me The vultures are circling and waiting to feed I’ve a wound for the hounds but they’ll never catch me They’ve got me surrounded for the time being But I’ll break through the walls and they’ll never find me It’s no concern of mine to figure how to do it right with all the stations blurting hype and closing doors in the night But I’m on the verge of a chance that is going to turn My whole world down Had my eyes to the ground doubting all that I see Hung my head in the clouds so they’ll never find me Been hiding a joker right up my sleeve Now they’re raising the bar but they’ll never fool me They’ve been haunting my dreams every moment I sleep But I wake with a hope so they’ll never scare me They’ve got me surrounded for the time being But I’ll break through the walls and they’ll never find me

Hallowed Ground She wrote a letter home, to let them know that she was safe and warm A token gesture for the ones she loves, from whom she fears nothing at all Just one small page. After the greeting she found nought to say All the dreams she'd had and all she'd seen came out as nothing at all But how far she'd come In her heart of hearts the seeds she'd sown Bloomed to moments when it all made sense to her alone We've all learnt secrets from the hallowed ground But dare to speak them and you'll make no sound It's just like catching fire, or turning pages you just can't read out He searched for words all day Felt like seasons it had been that way Though he cared and played with all his being, he could sing nothing at all Just a few short lines would bring a peace that only few could find But all the dreams he'd had and all he'd seen came out as nothing at all But how far he'd come In his heart of hearts the seeds he'd sown Bloomed to moments when it all made sense to him alone We've all learnt secrets from the hallowed ground But dare to speak them and you'll make no sound It's just like catching fire, or turning pages you just can't read out But how far we've come In our heart of hearts the seeds we've sown Bloomed to moments when it all makes sense No words would let those secrets tell No denying just how far you've come In your heart of hearts the seeds you've sown Bloom to moments when it all makes sense to you alone. . . alone We've all learnt secrets from the hallowed ground We've all learnt secrets from the hallowed ground We've all learnt secrets from the hallowed ground It's just like catching fire, or turning pages you just can't read We've all learnt secrets from the hallowed ground But dare to speak them and you'll make no sound It's just like catching fire Like a bird on the wire A dance with desire Your faith on trial Oh me oh my, cruel fates design It's just like catching fire, or turning pages you just can't read

Burnt to a seed I can’t remember the life I was living before I forgot what it was I was heading toward Have I found something new, or what I was searching for? It’s washed out in love I’m washed out in love Unfamiliar are things that I keep in my store And there’s none of it seems of much use anymore Sure there’s things I will lose, but who’s keeping score? They’re washed out in love I’m washed out in love There’s a line in my head like a knife to the heart As it rolls off the tongue it’s holding me together And at once tearing me apart Like a sail in the wind pulling out from the shore Of a country I’m leaving, and know that I will see again But for now there’s more in store. . . Oh there must’ve been love i was feeling before But it’s burnt to a seed just to flower once more This time with a splendour that’s just got me floored I’m washed out in love Washed out in love

Danger 03:33
Danger Now I've put this off for too long Never wanted my words to hit the wrong mark, as a political song Cause I wouldn't waste my breath singing to the cats on high A Change is coming from below from the many voices of you and I We won't see eye to eye on the finer points of most things But I'm tired of hiding out and shutting out what's not about me Cause it's all about us, and that's the problem can't you see? The block is just a drug to keep you fat and f*%#ed in the back seat Where is our mind, to tell us what to do about it? Where is our mind. Somebody tell us everything and everything We're in a little bit of danger I've got along with nearly everyone I've met in this short ride But thinking out upon the masses I get sick to the inside What a bunch of apathetic racist cowards we must look just playing along this little game with the fools who are writing this rule book Is it time to put some questions to the man of that ilk? Pimpin the land while the farmer's losing money for milk Giving jobs to drones, schools to the rich, and we believe it When they tell us nothing's wrong and we sit down in the back seat Where is our mind, to tell us what to do about it? Where is our mind. Somebody tell us everything and everything We're in a little bit of danger If you ever take a stand, now would be the time Wanna make a sacrifice, now' be the time Wanna make your mumma proud, now would be the time If you've ever got the time, now' be the time Where is our mind?

1963 04:08
1963 I traced you back to 1963 I traced you back to 1963 It was there I first remember How you were moving me I traced you back to 1963 Now I don’t even care what year it is, without you I don’t even know what day it is, without you And I don’t even care what song this is, without you Without you I traced you back to the fire in the park I traced you back to the fire in the park But the flames were burning brighter And hotter in our hearts I traced you back to fire in the park Now I don’t even care what day it is, without you And I don’t even know what song this is, without you I don’t even care what year it is, without you Without you I traced you back to the day I pulled the gun I traced you back to the day I pulled the gun I may never know what happened All I’ve done since then is run Oh I traced you back to the day I pulled the gun I don’t even care what song this is, without you I don’t even know what year it is, without you I don’t even care what day it is, without you Without you Oh I traced you back to 1963 It’s there I lost your trail. . .

B Luck 03:57
B Luck Blessed luck won’t come to me If what I feel I deserve is more than what I’ve got Or what I’d give back again If what I need is just wanting more So I steer clear of those greedy demons I’ll not rely on chasing hordes I’ll just hit life with an open heart again And keep an eye out for what I’m searching for Don’t believe it for a sec That what you give won’t give you nothing back Don’t undo it for yourself Don’t take it all and give back nothing Just put it out there Get a firm idea of what your heart be asking for And keep it real Don’t let no-one suffer for it And you might see your just reward Don’t believe it for a sec That what you give won’t give you nothing back Don’t undo it for yourself Don’t take it all and give back nothing But the scripts will change, you can bet on it But don’t lose heart Getting down won’t help you right the score And don’t play King, for the invasion will come And you’ll be tossed from the throne And you will realise that it’s just love and fate you were running from Don’t believe it for a sec That what you give won’t give you nothing back Don’t undo it for yourself Don’t take it all and give back nothing

In front of me Like bulls to the red flag we run to the finish We're dying to get to the end of it all But it's downhill from here, you can stop all your pulling I'll make it myself to the end or I won't A look back in time to what man has accomplished Shows that there's nothing can last for too long There's always a flood, or a god with an army Ready to crush someones right to belong Can't you see the signs again? All left to do is breathe the air that's in front of me Time it moves quickly now, no doubt about it And there's no way we're slowing it down without love. But the lovers are lost, and all the dreamers are silent As the dollar sign rises to black out the sun Can't you see the signs again? All left to do is breathe the air that's in front of me Who's to say what's right or wrong? Who's to say what will be or won't? We're all just a speck in the sun But are we willing them fires to come? For just how much longer will we lock up our spirits And hide from the love it is time we recalled You can reach the whole world with just the touch of a button But can you spell armagedeon if you tweet that it's come? Can't you see the signs again? All left to do is breathe the air that's in front of me

Trenches and Dreams Since a child, I've been a digger of holes To hide away the only way I know And in the depths of my pitiless wel I dreamt of love, till I could see so well The light that would lead me home Now as I aged, my life it grew well There's few so blessed could tell the tales I tell But the higher I flew, the deeper I delved Till time alone knew the place I dwelt Where all I'd seen dissolved and never once returned to me As if still that child with no goals to speak I feigned the life I lived as it came to me And I wandered those roads alone The hopes I had dreamed up gone With no light to lead me home But how the seas once stirred me How sweet the thoughts on the air once felt Now all the stars in the night remind me Of all the tales I'd never tell, and if all the ways to love Of all the ways to love that I wasted here Many years they passed, and I stayed as I fell To find the dreams once I'd known so well Until into the dark, as a star she fell Seeing all I'd seen alone And who we are with love came rushing back to me As if still that child, with a heart to seek I felt the life I'd dreamed could still come to be The light that would lead me home Where the seas still stirred me How sweet the touch of her hand now felt And all the stars in the night remind me Of all the tales yet to tell, and of all the ways to love All the ways to love that I wasted here

about

"Of all the ways to" is the fourth studio album of Australian artist, Music by Tully.

Hearkening back to the 90's, where his musical desires were born, it's an angsty journey of love and waste, motives and escape, karma and rebellion, and a groove-laden romp from beginning to end.
