I stepped into your head to try and work you out
And the door it closed behind me and locked me in
So I peered into your memories and I saw what made you sad
Now I’m wishing I could help you but this movie gone and passed
So I just sit here on my own
Waiting for you to come
And get me
Sit here on my own
Waiting for you to come
And release me
I’m living in a picture book were colours grow
And the endings drawing closer with every turn
Seems my only means of being real is falling from my bed
And i sleep, i sleep in truth
I only sleep when I sleep next to you

Song Eater

song eater
I saw and ate songs until I was love
looked for the sea but this pool was enough
I filled it with salt and went looking for you
the eater of worlds who had learned to swim moons
but you where a shell of your former self
you'd settled down with somebody else
I stood on mars as you choked on half moons
old satellite and after all your big tries
you still kept your heart going
you longed for the core and died at her door
and you left a note wrote mostly in blood
from all of your friends you said you where the sun
you are the reason i am so warm
as I blink one more time
I'm glad that your still alive
as my wires grow tired
I check your oceans for life
and I aim for the ground
and I hear all your sounds
I feel all your warmth
well some of its mine
cause sharing is caring
i'll give you my blood

Slush Puppies
02:13
|
|||
There's always been a moon way up in the night
like there's a phone glued to your hand
and the brightness from your screen
in the dead of the night won't let you see the stars around me
and in a 100 years or so this song will be dated
and we'll have grown old and be gone and the flickering of distant suns
will still be the one thing that we'll be comparing love too
though there's no one else like you
with your bitter tongue
your dolphin blue eyes
and your sweet midnight smile
and your earthquaking heart
where big hills abound
that think there mountains in size
and everything loud
but our love is quiet
with fireworks out
we drink slush puppies inside
with our sparklers now
we give our names to the sky

I bought a new t shirt for free delivery
I picked up my eko played every thing I had making shapes with my right hand
I never wrote a song not for quite a long long time
So I put on my new shirt and fell into the night
the lipstick that I had and someone else's nylons tights
I always thought you knew
I really don't know how to stand
I think people can be cruel
I know that I can
I think the pink gives me away and my jawline tells no lies
so I picked up my eko and played every thing I had chipping paint off my left hand
I've never felt so late and I get later all the time
So I put on my new shirt and fell into the night
the lipstick that I had and someone else's nylons tights
I always thought you knew
I really don't know how to stand
I think people can be cruel
I know that I can
I don't smoke cigarettes
but they're fun to sing about
smoke coming through floors
and twirling around
not every mother has a child
not every death is unkind
but every apple tells a lie
you are so brave
I think that all the time

Warmth
01:28
|

t feels like you wrote me with haze in you’re eyes
I think you are my warmth
Because I’m missing most of mine
And you were so fine,
We died all the time
And I love you now like you loved me once
And I see this death is eating our heads.
So draw for me the moon
And i’ll sing it out for you
And we can have ours too
But in our hearts and in our bones we already do.
I’ll take you by your hair like a Neanderthal
I’ll tie you up in furs and watch the ancient sun
We’ll say the sweet things but we’re heavier than this
The look in our eyes
Will be the greatest look of all time.

Sure I wear my heart on my sleeve
in a box made from lead
submerged in a lake
severed at the end
but I wait patiently
for my endings to come
but i'm never as sure
as you where my love
they bleached out the bath house
and the salmon pink I found you swimming in
was a slight stain on the tiles we laid
they bleached out the bath house
yet the steam made your shape
as I lay scares upon this place
the pale yellow rain coat
still hangs on the stairs
the drops on your freckles
were too much to bare
taking your hand took forever I swear
and the mosaic in the bath house
was all that was there

Sleepwalking
01:44
|
|||
Oh walking through your dreams
Finding gaps in time
Don’t know were i'm going
I am blind and I am hoping
To feel your colours (shine)
I am flyin through your head
Just like I used to
Seeing mountain lions
Dancing with a chupacabra poet
And a sailor who has sailed on clouds of fire
While painting pictures of his soul of which he had to leave behind
Way beyond the shore line
Way beyond the point of no return
Way beyond us
I have sailed into the shadow of the sun
I have sailed into the shadow of the sun
And i'm never coming back
I'm never coming back
I’m never coming back.

I left the stove on
when I left this place
I could start the fire
but i could not take the heat that I had made
now I’m out here in the snow
with the foot prints that I stole
from the girl I used to know
now I arrived here every day
amongst the snow and charred remains
and I can barely see the sky over the glow
and this fire becomes my home
yet you’ll never see me
because you lack dimension and reason and hope
now I am missing
a stranger in my skin
a vessel to choke
everyone says you’re better for her than me
but i don't believe that
because everyone says a lot of stupid shit
If you ask me.

Redemption
01:56
|
|||
I look into your eyes
you don’t look back
I’ve seen more hope
In a heart attack
I hope you know
I look into the sky
I see no stars
and every time I look that far
I lose hope
and I’m sailing on the ocean
with my friends
were looking for adventure everywhere
and redemption, is redemption every place you wanna go
and im sick of everybody saying no.
I take you by the hand
we part the sea
don’t look back
just follow me
once we cross we will be fine
the grass looks greener but the trees are dying

Candle Song
01:34
|
|||
Wander in the darkness
Waiting for the answer
Looking for the signs
Waiting for you
If I sat here in the dark
Holing out a candle
Feeling history in these walls
In these halls
Looking for reprise
Looking for reprise
Waiting for you.
Holding on to these cave walls
Looking for the holes that I can grab on to now
Looking for Disaster
Looking for Disaster
Waiting for you
Waiting for you

Seams
02:43
|
|||
Seams on my chest are wearing out
That's something I should care about
But I’m self destructing in this house
The counter is broke
I am alone
I know there's something in these chords
Thats helping me to feel adored
and I never really felt before
So just let me sing
This song to you
Then you will know
I did this for you.
The smile on your face it says you’re alive
But I don’t really buy it since you are not mine.
And how can you live if you don’t have a heart
There’s no beat in you.
My grip has grow loose.
I will not let go
My beats will stop too.
Though I can’t swim
My seams will float through
Seams on my chest you are tearing out
Thats something you should care about
I will stay haunt this house
My bloody has run dry
I can not breath
I can no longer sing
You did this to me
And you didn’t look at my eyes
When you tare me apart

Monuments (pt2)
01:10
|
|||
we speak in different tongues
my heart is growing strong
but weaker by the beat
this marble holds no love
I have dug a hole to bury this hole town
my fingers hit the rocks now
there's no turning back now
so here we lay again
dirt under our nails
content in this trap now
we don't have to say it
this isn't just a tomb
this is my monument to you.

Fall Of Troy
02:43
|
|||
The yellow men
From the yellow town
Preach there yellow verse
To the orange crowed
And the purple fire
In the function room
Takes the colours in
And the grey resumes
So the rainbow grows
Arching in the sky
Like the fall of troy
All its colours die
And the walls it built
Preachers, Sons and bards
Have no place in time
Among the dying stars
The pallets drain all that’s left is dust
We sit all alone watching worlds combust
And we wonder how we could have been so blind

Messengers
03:33
|

I’m in this pasture here with god
I'm afraid that he’ll speak the words
that’ll end this winning streak were on
I write about this all the time
In a trance and blurry eyed
waiting for my salvation to arrive
I’m a mess most of the time
while falling further from my mind
I’m simply losing all the threads
that keep my functioning
I was never a profit
I was never your light
I was left in the trenches
for those 40 days and nights
Im in much deeper than I thought
I think im drowning on the ghost
and I’m allowed to be afraid
when the hounds are at my door
I write about this all the time
In trance and blurry eyed
waiting for my salvation to come
I was never a profit
I was never your light
I was left in the trenches
for those 40 days and nights
I made my bed I’ll sleep in it
I do it all just for the kicks
I’ll throw it out and I wont dwell
on gospel, scripture, stone or
and when those men in feathered coats
they come to take away my ghost
I’ll tell them politely no and make my own way home

here are many books on many things/and the worst of them is awful strings/you can trace them with your fingertips/but they cut and burn and heal your skin/and there's glitter mixing with your blood/you're conversing with some made up god/who despite the world you still believe/will save you from these awful strings/and all these things that are wrong with me/i don't hold the depth to see/and i don't think that you saw them too/because all i saw was love in you/and i don't recall the exact day/when you saw my flaws so clearly/just like old receipts that fade away/i lost the spark that made me great/and i know that i will one day be/the sand on which you press your feet/and i hope the glitter's in your eyes/and your memories have long since died/because it's not you this song is for/it's for those eyes that hid my flaws/and filled me with this wild eyed warmth/of which these strings remain the cause
