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

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

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
6.
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, 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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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

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
