State of Emergency
by Merisan
guest vocals by Amy and Geech

I watch the eucalyptus twisting from it's skin
stretching skywards wanting to be free.
When they put his ashes in the ground
I couldn't help but feel a little part of it was me.

So keep
yourself safe,
I can't afford to lose anymore.
Cross my fingers
holding tight,
and looking for a way to let it go.

Did you know when you were sleeping
all the stories spilled from you and had nowhere to go?
They sit by my bed at night,
reminding me that I might be the only one to know.

I'll keep
them safe.
I can't afford to lose anymore.
Cross my fingers
holding tight,
Truth has gently faded into fiction.

Past the state of emergency,
only time will show what was history.

Can't remember how it felt to kiss him on the cheek,
but I kissed yours just the other day.
And in the half light I can see behind the veil
and recognize the part of me that's you.

So keep
yourself safe,
Can't afford to lose what I have.
Cross my fingers
holding on
Looking for a way to let it go.

This should be right at or on the top also, though it does so as a ghost brushing by on the wind. Beautiful, balanced, and complete. Nothing is overdone and the lyrics, which I found moving before I heard the song, are wonderfully delivered. The bridge and transition are gorgeous, but the autumnal feel to this is superb. Perfect vocals and some more of the best guitar playing on SF, without question.
