False Dreams
03:46

It always comes alive
In the dead of the night
The streets are a thunder
Fills the head with a searing light
Was I imagining
The crack of firearms
A car horn, the neighbour's porn
Just outside my door is the sound of alarms
Who was the bloody idiot
Who suggested counting sheep
I know they're going for a slaughter
Calculation never helps sleep
I might as well give in to my own anxiety
And try to dispel the false dreams of a lost society
I'd wake you and tell you all about the silly things
That make my heart ache, keep me awake
The last day, the next play
The idea of defeat
The squeaky bed, a word you said
Raging in my head in the crazy beat
Should I read a page or two
Make myself a cup
Maybe close my eyes again
The sun is almost up
So dim the lights, tuck me in
Put me out
Sooth my doubt
Make my night
Just dim the lights, tuck me in
Put me out, put me out, put me out
Now I'm up and about, I give in to my own anxiety
And try to dispel the false dreams of a lost society
I'd wake you and tell you all about the silly things
That make my heart ache, keep my awake

So Naturally Odd
04:22

You are the reason
You are the mind
We try our luck, and fail
We try our luck, again, again
Timeless we fall on the ground,
Now you run there's no one else
You are the reason
You are the mind
Timeless we fall on the ground
Other join us one by one
Saints and sinners all around
Now you run there's no one else
Now I wonder, just why it feels so naturally odd
How I wonder, just why it feels so naturally odd

Another Call
03:41
|
|||
|
Pick up the phone again
Just one more number
A man with a mission
who works for commission
Gotta go on with it
How do you do today
How is the weather
I’m sorry to bother
I really would rather
Be anywhere else right now
One ideal
Close the deal
I gotta go get some air
And crawl back to my chair
And make another call
Don’t you hang up just yet
Let me give you the details
I’ll cut down the price
And fix you real nice
An offer you can’t refuse
One Ideal...
The flickering screens and answering machines
The flickering screens and answering machines
The flickering screens and answering machines
Remember to only have this
One Ideal
Close the deal
One Ideal
Close the deal
I gotta get out of here
There’s a ringing in my ear
And I have another calling

Dark and Beautiful
04:03
|

I want to wait
In the dark like a predator
Until you make a mistake
I wanna have a nightmare about you
And have you around
When I wake
I wanna be your Achilles' heel
Seeing as I'm
At your feet
I want you to breath
Down my neck
Whispering over your
Heartbeat
Something sweet
Incomplete
Like everything between us
Something dark and beautiful
I wanna slither around like a snake
And crawl my way back
To your bed
I wanna be the wolf at your door
Or the vulture
Over your head
I will make you regret
That you've met me
And try to see you again
I will give you all that I have
Kindness as cruelty and
Pleasure as Pain
We can't abstain
We can't explain
No
Like everything between us
Something dark and beautiful
And claim we're both to blame
Like a moth to a flame
Like a moth to a flame
Knowing what only we know
Knowing what only we know
Knowing what only we know
Something dark and beautiful

You're all I see, you're all I need
Our hopes and desires, don't make a sound
You're all I've ask for, you're all I need
When I'm shattered and broken, down on my knees
Too close to the fire, it's burning me down
Our hopes and desires, come screaming back
You're all I ask for, you're all I need
When I'm shattered and broken, down on my knees
You're all I ask for, you're all I need
When I'm shattered and broken, down on my knees
If only you came to me, and had me freed
You're all I ask for, you're all I need

Empty Days
03:49
|
|||
|
Waking up while the sun goes down
After sleeping off
The thoughts of when I’ll die
And life goes by
Seeing people through a screen
Life is thin
Is caving in, slowly decays
What empty days
I pass the time and I’m
Wasting away
I’m wasting away
Until the day I find a purpose in my life again
An old man
Drink too often and too much
I’ve lost my touch
With what I had in hand
A no-man’s land
And life is like a discount store
A holy war
With sign to keep the score
Such a bore
I thought I’d fly but I
Am wasting away
I’m wasting away
Until a distant date
When I no longer wait
A bit too late
I’m not a lazy guy,
I didn’t get too high
I just don’t seem to try
I don’t know why, but I
Am wasting away, wasting away
And so I will unless
I get out of this mess
Of emptiness

Don't Believe In Maps

Darling we are close
Don't believe in maps
I can see you clearly
I only need to close my eyes
When they said that distance lends
Enchantment to the view
It only goes to show how much
They know of me and you
I've been reminiscing
Everyone could tell that I
I am going missing
I am going missing you
Distance made the heart grow fonder
Quite a while ago
Now I want to hold you near me
And never let you go
How I waited for this moment
So long
It's been hard to get along
So low
Tell me that you waited for me
Don't go
I just got here
We are no longer people
You're a point and I'm a line
Distance now is only measured
Between you aching heart and mine
Out of sight, out of mind
Say it isn't so
Say you feel the same as I do
Show me that you know
How I waited for this moment
So long
It's been hard to get along
So low
Tell me that you waited for me
Don't go
I just got here

Shining Star
03:54

Gonna make it happen
Make, make it right
Gonna make it happen
Make, make it right
The night is getting darker
Stay, stay awhile
The rolling sound of thunder
Stay, stay awhile
I am dealing with the dead for your protection
I am killing in your name for your affection
You're a shining star
You're a shining star
You're a shining star (and I will always…)
You're a shining star
Gonna make it happen
Make, make it right
Gonna make it happen
Make, make it right
I am dealing with the dead for your protection
I am killing in your name for your affection
You're a shining star
You're a shining star
You're a shining star (and I will always…)
You're a shining star

Song of Long
04:32
|

Do you remember the day we first met?
It seems like yesterday and you were heaven sent
Do you remember the last time we spoke?
It seems so far away, the day I broke
Memory plays such nasty tricks
But I don't mind as long as something sticks
A picture comes to view and then it fades
Along with other smells and shades
How did it ever
Go so wrong?
It took me a while just to write you this song
To tell you in short
How much I long
To swing by your house or phone you
But you never answer when I call
And recall
Meet me at our old spot, I'll be there
Waiting
It'll be like old time or just almost
Time can heal but at what cost
And I don't remember
How I got here
I go to such lengths just to keep you near
To tell in detail
How much I fear
For you
And all you have said and then forgotten
The summer we had before the fall
Is that all?
Your voice is now fading
Your face unclear
So won't you appear in my dreams to remind me
Or better yet, wake from this nightmare I'm in
How long has it been?
