Long Lost Friend
04:00
|
|||
there's something that's a part of me
that never was supposed to be
i always said that i would keep it to myself
but in the rear view, there's something strange i see
what's that? oh thought i was alone
standing in the tide with my feet in the foam
and as the night goes on i feel something lurking
a dark secret pain that won't stop hurting
so who are you then
and what have you done to my long lost friend
i just wish it could be all over again
there's something distant here
i can call it out if you lend an ear
yes i can shout it out if you need it clear
oh i can
so who are you again
i wish i could take away your biggest sin
oh how i miss my only friend
oh how i miss my only
oh how i miss my only friend
where are we now
are we good cuz i've got to jet
are we fine cuz i've got better things
that i know my love you haven't seen yet

True North

can't talk here
true negation
we will coexist underground
walls are closing
awful nosy
tell my dreams
that they are broken
we are tied up so tight and
we can't speak
we are tied up 'n tied so tight
we can't speak out about it now
everybody sidles up
the repressed silent groove
we are tied up and tied so tight
we can't speak out about it now
everybody gets sized up
facin the silency groove
can't talk here
the spirit speak negation
perhaps we may coexist underground
walls are closing
awful nosy
tell my dreams
it's they who broken
oh
we are tied up so tight now
we can't speak
we are tied up and tied so tight
we can't speak out about it now
everybody sidles up
the repressed silent groove
we are tied up n tied so tight
we can't speak out about it now
everybody gets sized up
facing the silency groove
we are tied up n tied so tight
we can't speak out about it now
everybody gets sized up
facing the silency groove
we are tied up n tied so tight
we can't speak out about it now
everybody gets sized up
facing the silency groove
can't talk here
true negation
we will coexist underground
walls are closing
awful nosy
tell my dreams that they are broken

Control (In the Centre)

i always want

i'm the sinner
out a soul
flogged again
full control

Turning the Wheel
02:25
|
|||
turning the wheel
lighting the match
playing card spoke
eyeliner catch
run into puddles
run into swirl
take off what you got me
she sure can twirl
i sure can twirl

Chandelier Reflections
03:12
|
|||
take me back to where
everything resembled a close
a peak in the life
a start of an upset
chandelier reflections
empty bottles of wine
a pretend life
that's no longer mine
do you believe that you've made it
i don't think we have yet
take me back to when
i kept myself in strict repose
holding my feelings close
my enemies closer
awful reflections
after bottles of wine
i jettisoned the life
that was no longer mine
do you believe that you've made it
no i don't think that we have yet
do you believe that you've made it yet boy
i don't think i've done it yet

In Stride
01:59
|
|||
despite the fact
that we've all big plans
we all croak
just the same
that corpse over there
used to sing and dance
big lights in the shape
of the letters in his name
and he had somewhere
he had to get home to
and there were people who loved him
and the people he was close to
but his final thoughts remain
an unsolveable mystery to me
we had a hard year
and i took it in stride
but now i'm back
and ready to ride
we had a hard year
but i took it in stride
so now, i'm, back
and i'm ready to ride

Lickety-Split
01:35
|
|||
where you goin now
the lights are all out
the breeze in the trees
something new will sprout
oh where you goin out
got me filled up with doubt
a freeze in my knees
don't make it so drawn out
don't make it so drawn out
a standing mirror
or in a cracked shard then
whatever makes you happy
where and when
and if why won't get you
i've got a missive to give
and if you won't love me
i'll quit lickety-split
lickety-split
where you goin out

Monster in My Sleep
01:54
|
|||
there are nights where i dream of you
eyes full of fire as you stand before me
am i lovely or am i frightning
am i calm or am i angry
there are nights where i forget about
the monster in my sleep
and there are nights where she stands up tall
walk past and stare into the crystal ball
what do you see
what do you see
when you look at me
i used to think
my spirit was so much fire
but now as i get older
and feel my soul is itching to retire
i can't sleep,
can't stand these palm trees
sunglasses on, radio loud,
all i hear is the sound of waves crashing over seas
there's an intruder
standing before me

Disappearances Happen
03:17
|
|||
she's makin me put on my pants again
and go out to check the mail
without her guiding love
i'm sure that i would fail
and i still break down every now and then
when i think about things i did
every word that was so laced with venom
every told-you-so that i did bid
but that's the oat of life
great mystery and all that
why do we pretend to be so full of love
when we're all so full of crap
she's makin me act crazy again
as if i need a reason to do that
every stubborn react, as a matter of fact
is coming from me and my lack of tact and
disappearances happen every day
disappearances happen every day
i always feel the ghosting is on the way
so hurry hurry and wish me away
but that's the oat of life
great mystery and all that
why do we pretend to be so full of love
when we're all so full of crap
disappearances happen every day
disappearances happen every day
so hurry hurry and whisk me away
i know you want to wish me away
and disappearances happen every day
disappearances happen every day
so hurry hurry and whisk me away
so hurry hurry and wish me away

Peaceful Tidings
01:38
|

peaceful tidings
a mirror of a message in a bow
she says she's always rewinding
when she's reminded of all my misplaced hopes
well it feels good to be in her head
nowadays the pain is so much duller
can i return to her yet?
no it will never even happen
i don't trust myself
i always fall in love
my feelings never leave me
you're still the same person that i love
and it never seems to end oh
and it never seems to end
i don't trust myself
i always fall in love
my spirit will never leave me
you're still the same person that i love

Discotheque
05:04
|
|||
oh i've tried but regrettably i've failed
and i've never been so afraid
but there's some power in these words
the words you spoke to me
still linger in my throat
n the N.A.S.A. night i'm missing you
and who do i see in the back of the room
a different someone in my life
the yous exchange i need you in my life
and things they do progress
though sometimes a harsh process
but now i have you and i have your love in my life
and it feels so good
to hold you in my arms
and look into your eyes
and laugh the day away
and it feels so good
to hold you in my arms
and look into your laugh
and live my life with you
with you
with you
with you
only you
LOCUST LOCUST LOCUST LOCUSTS
with you with you with you only you
with you with you with YOU ONLY YOU
WITH YOU WITH YOU WITH YOU ONLY YOU
WITH YOU
WITH YOUUU
WITH YOUUUU
ONLY YOUUUUUU
tryna find my mind is at but i dont fuckin know

thrashin never got me nothin so i'm goin with the flow
whatever life has got to throw me come on baby throw

Like Shining Knives
01:48
|

like shining knives
freshly squeezed
like terrorizers
bent all the way back to their knees
like giving it up
like begging please
just get me back to where
i started spinnin round and round and round in all this
endless disease
a mobius strip
i drink it up
infinity becomes me
find my eyes
lost in the cup
can't find what's lost
but can always start up anew
everything you think i did i didn't
just to end up a piece of you
yea like shining knives
eyes straight head up nauseous fuck it press it hit it foot is
yea like shining knives
like shining knives
eyes straight head up nauseous fuck it press it hit it foot is on the

deep in the mystery
deep in the
deep in the mystery
lies a rotten core like
perhaps there's something golden
but it's buried like the things you don't want
celsius is dropping
giving nightmares to the dogspeak
every world is burning
all the cars are crashing
and we are all still up drinking
waiting for some display
as if we've never feared anything
i think i'm stepping out
hey relax no need to blow your mind
it's not like there is movement
time it still tick tick tick ticks on by
hurtling endlessly towards death
here in the laugh
the great laugh of mankind
i sprawl out in the bath
but it never seems
no it never seems
to take
here in the laugh
the great laugh of mankind
i sprawl out in the bath
but it never seems
no nothing ever seems
to take

Sun Hurts
01:41
|
|||
the sun hurts
the sun hurts
i wake up every morning
but the sun hurts
my skin blisters
it cracks and it bleeds
it skiffs and it howls
and it hurts so much to breathe
give it love
give me love
watch me grow
watch me go
more esoteric
than you fools know
give it up
watch it up
till it reverse
spinning cup
and under the whisper seethes
i howl in merry
and brick by brick
laid the point of the slaughter
and connected two points
thus made a line
and so they made fine time
tipping it off the other's dime
never aware of their unfortunate crime
and in that moment i realized i'm
just another
whine in the wind
so so long my friends
here's hoping i see you again
but if i don't, forget the joke
the fix is in, my boys
the fix is in

Same Monsters
02:32
|
|||
you pull up and over the drive
and you pick me up and we go for a ride
and we talk about how we're still alive
nothing lost nothing gained the same monsters inside
ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhh
we pass the place where i know you've been
and we talk and talk for hours bout sin
and on your breath i still smell the gin
the toxic tonic of love that we've found ourselves in
ohhhhhhh ohhhhhh
written in your dirge, bask in regret
the world flies by but i'm not dead yet
but to point this out would be requiem upset
so i keep myself quiet and slowly reset
ohhhhhhh ohhhhhh

Young Heart
01:47
|
|||
maybe we could make it work out
or maybe you should just kill me now
why would i ever try to get them to fall in love
when they always just shoot me down
violence to my body
fly down to my parents house
sleep in my bed
hit me til i ain't breathin'
i won't care if i'm dead
i won't care anymore when i'm dead
and i'll finally rest
this young heart can't take it anymore
so just treat me like a ragdoll
if you're gonna end up hating me anyway
just treat me like a ragdoll
baby if it's all the same, ooh

Little Soldiers
03:37
|
|||
it's so easy to stumble into a broken heart
you keep your head down low and forget to start
well i don't want to end up with those petty games
in my hand dear
and i don't know what causes this pain
but if you ever feel like comin back round again
i'll make things right as just before
that moment when i lost my breath
little soldiers they spin like clockwork
poking spears into your chest as it beats inside
the clouds up above look like a pop-up book display
bringing us back to yesterday
i don't want to end our love but i cannot keep you
the sky's overcast so i finally kiss you
but i know my anxiety won't ever go away
so i lock myself away
sayin i will hold you in my arms someday
don't get comfy i'll probably kill myself someday
so i should probably stay away
i don't know what it is but there's something that grips you
with sickening pleasure it starts to twist you
coating your heart in oil slick and bruises
something sinister and out of sorts
a mental breakdown i hear my screaming broke
so i channel it into one that sings
another depression that starts all over again
a vicious cycle that tells me i'm doomed inside
worlds collide and i crumble quick
i'm always sure that this'll be the one where i die
but sparks fly and i see the light
the sun it comes up and i start to cry
i know this feeling won't ever ever go away
so i still hope that i'll hold you in my arms someday
i'd kill myself just to hold you in my arms someday
no matter how fast those skies turn grey
i still tell myself every day
that i will hold you in my arms someday
