Fade Away
02:20
|
|||
I run into the trees
When it's raining
Eleven flowers in the breeze
The sky is burning
And, it seems to fade away
And, it seems to fade
I stand along the edge
The sun is flying
Eleven doves upon a ledge
The air is thinning
And, it seems to fade away
And, it seems to fade
Where is the starlight?
Where is my Snow White?
Where is the starlight?
(It was like it never happened)
(It was like none of it ever happened)
And, it seems to fade away

In Warm Blood
03:50
|
|||
Sticky like sugar cane
Long as the night of rain
I dreamt of your hot damn heart
Bent like an orange flame
A sound never meant to stay
The echo was falling apart
Fine as dust
Slow like rust
In warm blood
We were sleeping in the snow
With pitch on our fingers
We were bathing
In warm blood
A trail made gingerbread
All spilling from my head
You fill me with sweet butterflies
Perfect in all we do
What did it mean to you?
Turn down the bed with the lies
From spark to mist
From kiss to kiss
In warm blood
We were sleeping in the snow
With pitch on our fingers
We were bathing in the glow
Of love in December
In warm blood
In the years since the winter past
Summer can sleep at last
I guess we were done at the start
Broken and out of cash
Ember to smoke to ash
I dreamt of your hot damn heart
Big like pain
Fast as rain
In warm blood

Them
03:02
|
|||
Them… Don't make me
Staring out the window
Them… Don't push me away
Them… Don't shake me
Hiding in the shadows
Them… Don't bathe me in gray
And, the after glow is all that seems to stay, yeah
And, the after glow is all that remains
Them... No echo
Comfort on the cushion
Them... No needles, no pain
Them... Don't wake me
Sleeping through the slide show
Them... Don't light my way
And, the after glow is all that seems to stay, yeah
And, the after glow is all that remains

Bridges to Nowhere
02:33
|
|||
Jug a bug
Bug a jar
Jars in cars
Cars in a landslide
From the b side
Beside the live wire
Wires and
Doors and
Bridges to nowhere
Where and when
When to jump
Jumping bean
Beans and tanks
Tanks and roadways
Roadways and birthdays
Birthdays and king cake
Bridges to nowhere

Photograph
03:15
|
|||
The night was a caged bird
Your eyes were like barbed wire
Your whisper went unheard
The paper caught cold fire
Photograph
Fading fast
Photograph
At a quarter past
Time collapsed
My heart was a guard tower
Your face turned the lights down
A kiss in a snow shower
The canvas was washed out
Photograph
Fading fast
Photograph
At a quarter past
Time collapsed

Lazarus Sign
03:30
|
|||
Your twitch was like a miracle
The possible was true
The light exposed a smile
And love was something new
Is that a spark in your eye?
What is this chill running down my spine?
Are we still alive?
Or, is it just a Lazarus sign
To hold on to?
My sight is growing vulnerable
Blurry and improbable
I've been holding on a while
Hysterical

Rosencrantz, An Underdog
03:46
|
|||
Rosencrantz, he was an underdog
Spent his time upon a hill
Met the girl with the strawberry eyes
All she wanted was a thrill
And, it's
Goodbye baby, all the way
Letting go to find the echo remains
Rosencrantz, he lived an easy life
Everyday was quite the same
What a change from the strawberry ride
And the dream that never fades
And, it's
Goodbye baby, all the way
Letting go to find the echo remains
Goodbye baby, all the way
I miss you
Rosencrantz, he was a winter tale
Chases shadows in the snow

Money Is Water
03:03
|
|||
A little sip could fill me up
Dreaming of a poison cup
A suckerpunch to light the way
Can't do without it, not today
And, the money is water is freezing
And, I can't stop my fingers
A little more is hard to pass
An elusive form that never lasts
And, it keeps me up all through the night
And, it's flowing hard from dark to light
And, the money is water is freezing
And, I can't stop my fingers from twitching
And, the money is water unending
But, I can't find the rainbow

A Quiet Impostor
03:19
|
|||
A quiet impostor
Sits by the doorway
Smokes like a monster
Taps on the ashtray
Silently waiting
For tales in the making
The stories
All our secrets are on display
All our failure is up for trade
A quiet impostor
In the center of my brain
Clicking his boot heels
Confusing the short wave
Quick like a virus
The thinking is breaking
The comfort
All our secrets are on display
All our secrets are up for trade

My Heart Is a Vacuum
08:54
|
|||
A wire rope was tearing through my hands
The flame was far too hot to touch
The plane was crashing into Neverland
The ice was fast and much too much
But, I won't let you go
No, I won't let you go
Oo, la, la...
I hear thunder
I lift a tethered door to find an empty space
There's a glow upon the easement
A cart of memories is wheeling into place
There's a quiet lack of friction
It's a cold day
A fresh start
A clean slate
My heart is a vacuum
Spinning velvet on the moon
I don't know where your love went
There's a flood in the basement
My heart is a vacuum
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I hear thunder
There's a rattle on the highway
Tangled asphalt on a Thursday
The ghosts are gathered by the crossroads
To see their lovers on the way home
They're standing softly in the snow
Beside wild mistletoe
Air in a tank
Fire the flank
Iron ships with their hips in the sink
I guess there's really nowhere left to go
There's a worm on the table
Oversold like the fable
And, is this all there is?
Is this what we get worse from?
Oo, yeah...
The raisin maids have waited all their life
To sell their fingerpaints to all who cry
Why were we standing there?
I'm sitting at a table by the fire
What are you running from my love?
What are you running from tonight?
May I come along this time?
To watch you beg
To watch you cry
To watch you burn
To watch us die
The raisin maids have waited all their life
To sell their fingerpaints to all who cry
Why are you standing here, now?
I'm sitting at a table by the fire

Silver Screen
03:53
|
|||
The light will break
Like dust along a beam
A cloth to wash my dreams
And, I'm failing at the seams
I'm finally standing still
I'm finally letting go
I'm finally standing still
The silver screen was just a show
The calm before a dive
The mist before it's formed
Violet, soft light war
A blanket, soiled and torn
I'm finally standing still
I'm finally letting go
I'm finally standing still
The silver screen was just a show
Where do you run to?
Where do you go?
Where do you run to?
The silver screen was just a show
