Here I am Here I am Stuck inside this feeling Of emotions that keep stealing My days away But we push through Until breathing feels new When we're sick and tired Of being sick and tired We push through But here I am Here I am Stuck inside this feeling Of emotions that keep stealing My days away But we push through Until breathing feels new When we're sick and tired Of being sick and tired We push through I can see that you're pushing Pushing through I can see that you're pushing Pushing through I can see that you're falling Falling down

Stop while you're ahead I'm dead ahead of the game you wrote Pale moon phosphorescent gloom I want to know you a little bit more And I'm running around and around Looking for you Walking this town up and down Looking for you I wanna go home with you Home with you Show me where you hide So I can hide with you You know I'm lost when I'm looking at you I know I've bitten more than can chew Every time I'm looking at you Every time I'm looking at you Locked in a motel room flower moon blooms When you call her name A wet sand trance from a rain dance Dancing to the sound of the sun (Sound of the sun) And I'm running around and around Looking for you Walking this town up and down Looking for you I wanna go home with you Home with you Show me where you hide So I can hide with you You know I'm lost when I'm looking at you I know I've bitten more than can chew Show me where you hide So I can hide with you You know I'm lost when I'm looking at you I know I've bitten more than can chew Every time I'm looking at you Every time I'm looking at you

Lights On 04:13
While the sun sets in the West And the animals find their place of rest I disentangle A candy concept I found my life in others But I never ask for it back I'm blooming Exhilaration Think I locked myself out Have to let myself in This is not my house But I left the lights on The morning of the animus Momma bird sang her blues away Awaiting Her time of death And all the flowers grew around her Cutting by the nick of time We're gloomy Procrastinating Think I locked myself out Have to let myself in This is not my house But I left the lights on Leave Baby don't leave Breathe Baby just breathe Leave Baby don't leave Breathe Baby just breathe Leave Baby don't leave Breathe Baby just breathe Think I locked myself out Have to let myself in This is not my house But I left the lights on

Magic 03:50
Gather round Gather round for the love people Gather round Gather round You've got something And I've got something to give You are beautiful Like goddamn can I get some of that Some of that magic Magic Magic Magic Don't you feel the earth shake babe Downside upside down Don't you feel the earth Gather round Gather round for the peace people Gather round Gather round You've got something And I've got something to give You are beautiful Like goddamn can I get some of that Some of that magic Magic Magic Magic I've made it all this way for you But I don't want to be here anymore

Don't forget tomorrow It's the last that you'll ever fear Look at this lifeline It's the best that we've ever had My only question remains In this silence My oh my I can't find The words I want to say They say I'm ok But I know I'm falling apart I'm starting not to know me It's the ending of the start Can you feel my lonely heart Can you feel my lonely heart I hope no one is looking While I'm drowning in my thoughts Nobody is breathing A momentary relation My only question remains In this silence My oh my I can't find The words I want to say They say I'm ok But I know I'm falling apart I'm starting not to know me It's the ending of the start Can you feel my lonely heart Can you feel my lonely heart Can you steal my only life Can you steal my

Girl Let me give you what you need Let me give you that time and space Until you think of me Until you think of I never had a photographic memory But I can see you right in front of me Long gone before liquid hit the rock Back when we were electric harmony Girl I need you I need you I need you I need you Give me your time and space For me to invade For me to invade I never had a photographic memory But I can see you right in front of me Long gone before liquid hit the rock Back when we were electric harmony Back when we were electric harmony Yo We were less matter More everything We were whisky on the rocks Pure energy We took more to form Became subject to memory Ties never severed And I need you desperately Let me know when its reciprocated Defenses deescalated I'll be outside lamenting a longer waited Contemplating the greatest way initiate it Kiss you hands around your waist Taking in your fragrance Girl our bond is tighter than platonic solids Glad I matured and met you after college So I can acknowledge and remark on you As a scholar rejoicing our reunion When these shells have been discarded

Fascinated 03:50
You wave goodbye As I arrive in paradise Fascinated with the way you move your lips Oh girl I say hello You say go diving under water Fascinated by the way you move your lips Oh girl You gave up I gave up It's denial In denial Life is rough We stay tough It's so wild I'm fucking wild Let's rush the dying And give away the money And fall in love all over again Let's rush the dying And give away the money And fall in love all over again Let's rush the dying And give away the money And fall in love all over again

Aubade 02:37
The sun goes up for those who pay the price Callous sits upon the highest of sovereignty As the bubbles burst beneath their swollen skin The wounded help the wounded A Celebrity's smile won again Malice affixed between the husk and claw Filled with stories 60 years too long Tap dancing on the bench Prepared to consume you in isolation Though you're blameless to the error

Don't wake up You're drowning in bad spells Frozen body crushed by soul Feed behemoth from stem to cortex I've lost all Control in tribulation Trapped in the highbrow I do not own Spinning in circles in this undertow I know you're shaking inside I can't let you leave my sight My scalpel expels musk From your limbic system Systems failing My scalpel expels musk From your limbic system Systems failing Oh I'm failing Yes I'm failing Oh I'm failing It's been days and days I've lied here wide-awake Deteriorating Waiting for my day Moving forward into yesterday

Liar 05:05
Come now look alive Master's gonna have you tonight Baby why you scared of me Loving should be easy I am a liar I am a savage bitch I am the party In which we only live Live Live I am a liar I am a savage bitch I am the party In which we only live Live Live Come now close your eyes Nothing's gonna happen tonight Baby don't you believe me Have you on bended knees I am a liar I am a savage bitch I am the party In which we only live Live Live I am a liar I am a savage bitch I am the party In which we only live Live Live Live Live Live Live

Final Form 05:48
I met a homeless who left their smile upon my face Said we're only humans there's no need to be afraid We're gonna die anyways We're gonna die anyways We're gonna die anyways This could be my final form But I've sworn to myself I'd go on This could be my final form But I've sworn to myself I'd go on There's the light of Jesus Christ But I've been told there's a time and a place for fairytales Fairytales I know I'm right When I'm wrong it was a slight mistake I know you bite When you fight for make believe If only we knew If only we wanted to Uncover the truth If only we wanted to hold the truth This could be my final form But I've sworn to myself I'd go on This could be my final form But I've sworn to myself I'd go on There's the light of Jesus Christ But I've been told there's a time and a place for fairytales Fairytales Dearly departed I know we've just started to wake Unfolding comes truth And all of his friends called lies If only we knew If only we wanted to Uncover the truth If only we wanted to The saddest thing I ever heard Was that John died The saddest thing I ever did see Was watching her alive We're alright We're alright We're alright We're alright The saddest thing I ever heard (we're alright) Was that John died (we're alright) The saddest thing I ever did see (we're alright) Was watching her alive We're alright This could be my final form But I've sworn to myself I'd go on This could be my final form But I've sworn to myself I'd go on There's the light of Jesus Christ But I've been told there's a time and a place for
