Our heads are humming and we don't know why Is this anyway to live, live our lives? It’s too much to ask and lay and shut our tired eyes It should be so easy just to make things right Unseen forces, apocalyptic horses We wake and we walk Can we just stretch out in the grass and relax in the dark? My head is ringing like it's splitting in half One part for every little thing, and the rest is whatever’s left It’s too much to ask and lay and close our tired minds It should be so easy just to do what’s right Unseen forces, apocalyptic horses We wake and we walk Can we just stretch out in the grass and relax in the dark?

They said it in the books I’ve read But it would never happen to you Then, when every horse is beat down dead The cover you never judged is overdue Don’t hold your breath The manual says Don’t make mistakes Your little glass heart will break They’ve got you by the spine In the corner of a dusty square And they, say even when the canvas tears Your cardboard bones show through Don’t hold your breath The manual says Don’t make mistakes Your little glass heart will break The hair on the back of your neck stands up It’s the electric touch Every book I’ve read never said It would mean this much We all know how this story ends But after the ever after then what? Well, let’s open up old wounds again And rub all the salt in the cuts

I’m looking for the end, the end of the world In the hurricane’s eye and the tornado’s swirl This is that song You were writing all along Life never really seemed so long On and on, then its gone The ice caps melt We’re stuck in Miami Beach And I’ve never felt so out of touch or out of reach These postcards won’t sell themselves It’s for the girl I’ve loved all along Who always waltzed into my songs On and on, then she’s gone Early warnings, the temperature is warming Boil over, the sun is getting closer Bible black predawns The chem trails in argyle skies Burning hades red in gargoyle eyes I guess we didn’t try

Hey it's all way too far To sail in the water Fade in the other Say what you’re gonna say So say what you’ll say when you say what you’re gonna Say what you’d say if you’d say what you wanna Say what you’d say and you say it like you really mean Hey you called to say it all It treats you unkindly And when you finally Stand on your feet again You say what you say when you’re back with each other Say what you’d say when you've had it with your lover Say what you’d say with the thought of another man You’re feeling reckless And the chain around your necklace Weighs you down Some words when spoken Never fix all that is broken When you’re down Forget to celebrate Every smile that you make Feels like a frown I’ve had the last of everything Say what you say what you say if we wanna Say what we say what we say to each other Say what you’d say would you say to another minute of your time

The light in your mind Glows and electrifies Floating in the sweet sublime To live on after we die Look away it’s coming up A sliver of the sun Everyday it ends the same With a sliver of the sun Remembering the clearest night The waves of a glowing tide Floating in the solution we find Cerebrospinal afterlife Look away it’s coming up A sliver of the sun Everyday it ends the same With a sliver of the sun The light in your mind Glows and electrifies Floating in the sweet sublime To live on after we die Look away it’s coming up A sliver of the sun Everyday begins the same With a sliver of the sun

Bad Vibes 04:08
I thought I knew you But I could see right through you Now I’m feeling the June Gloom Alright, now I’m through with you Bad vibes are sneaking in the window Our lives are forever intertwined So make up your mind If I laid down flat on the sidewalk They’d probably draw a line of chalk around me dead Wake blushing red I wish I could quit Because you know that I’m through with it And I’ve been dragged through it So I’ll lay it on thick I’m sleeping through every morning Without so much as a warning coming from you You know it's true If I laid down flat on the sidewalk They’d probably draw a line of chalk around me dead Wake blushing red

Soft Glow 02:42
In the morning light I would see you If I didn’t need you Then I wouldn’t be with you I need you to help me understand But the voice in my head Won’t take away these plans In the evening light I see your soft glow If I didn’t tell you so Then you would never know You never tell me What I need to hear So the voice in my heart Must take away my fears In the morning light I would see you If I didn’t need you Then I wouldn’t be with you I need you to help me understand But the voice in my head Won’t take away these plans

Overtaken by the undertow The moon is hiding and the tides are low Cherry black sunspot Radiation glow The milky way’s past due And expiring soon A rip current ripped from the headlines Blood relation to The Sunday Times Read all over in black and white The solar waves are due And headed for the moon King’s Crossing on the Kingdom’s Tide Switch the panic into overdrive Just ahead of the comet’s tail Drowning in satellites In an ever expanding night

Burn like a cigarette Until there’s nothing left These days we need a rest It’s like our love is up in smoke You take it as some sort of joke Just stop and laugh it off My heart is on fire My heart is on fire My heart is on fire For you Joke like we never left And wish each other best Just keep that sweater vest It always looked better on you Anyway You loved me like no others do Either way Just stop and sleep it off My heart is on fire My heart is on fire My heart is on fire For you

I’ve been stuck in a book for oh so very long Every breath that I took seemed to make it into a song But every word was wrong And had been for so long And every chance I had to make it was gone I was stuck on a page and couldn’t make it out alone In so many ways I was reminded of you and now... If I ever make it out, I’ll eat every last goodbye We’ll climb together the words and letters

Start Again 03:02
Where are we heading? Keep following the setting sun What are you dreading? Asbestos ceilings and fluorescent bulbs The sun is never shining in your mind Lift the veil that’s covering your eyes Then we can start again Then we can start again Is this a dead end? Are we doomed to repeat the past? Let’s keep it steady There has never been a harder task The black wings only carry you so far Until you keep crashing in the same car Then we can start again Then we can start again

I’ve been stuck in a book for oh so very long Every breath that I took Seemed to make it into a song But every word is wrong And has been for so long And every chance I had to change it is gone How much is enough? How deep is your love? I'm stuck on a page And couldn’t make it out alone In so many ways I am reminded of you and now If I ever make it out, I’ll eat every last goodbye We’ll climb together the words and letters How much is enough? How deep is your love?
