'Until'
Look at you sleeping.
How could you ever know
the darkest levels you have grown painfully in to me?
or hold the kind of weight
that you do?
You know, in my life
I had come to feel there was a screen
between me and the heart of things,
and which I felt you
slide away.
There is silence in the way that you unclose me.
There is lightning in the gaze in which you hold me.
Let life lift me over the dark of my design
and fold me in your perfect light,
where I’ll find a closure,
and questions I confined, a freedom
that I went the wrong ways to feel.
Show me all I ever translated in to pain
that, knowing, I might see better with - and I will.
You’ll hold me together
wholly in your arms,
and know how much I need you then;
and until.

Perfect Light is a collection of eight songs recorded across a year, in Hertfordshire (Chat Bizarre Studios) and London (Holy Mountain Studios).
Whilst Patrick's vivid melodies remain as powerful as ever, and his familiar lyrical themes and fixations continue to haunt this new album of material, the music itself marks another transition in the development of his songwriting.
Perfect Light:
1. Reveal
2. Behind My Eyes

4. Colours
5. The Spaces in Between
6. Raise Me Up
7. A Thousand Miles
