How do I tell you the truth?
Take my hand and I will
Serve myself
Jester's Hell
Will they find a path to you?
Swim to shoreline attitudes
When fever dreams lack consequence
Cut a hole and drown and
Try your face, a scribbled page
Something moves and I stand still
Quiver if I ever will
Never mind, who else can tell?
Now the lunatic is making sound, (he goes):
Who am I?
Who am I?
If you make it out of bed today
Let's fuck up our blood and celebrate
And it's dark enough to see through my dreams
Sentiments fall at my feet
My designated driver is blind
Talisman's turned out the light
And who am I to sleep like a child in a wind storm?

Praise your grip, unconsciousness adores you
I mistook your shadow for an open book
You can purr in my presence tonight
My bones will overtake my flesh in time
Wake up and my spine is in a spool
Dancing on the floor with other birds
The party at the crags is on tonight
Feasting on their quality of life
Shuddering, I go to bed within you
Singing with my friends and family
Staring at the screen in disbelief
As red lettering puts you all to sleep
Playing with your conscience like a dead mouse
You pushed my pressure point just hard enough
To make me scream out, begging for my life
You took my only chance to say goodbye
Choking on a spark,
I breathe in black

Feral Mind

Brush my teeth in the rain
Came out to say that I miss you
In the same old way
That I did two years ago today
And I just can not take
The feeling I got when I opened my toothpaste
Pushed to the end of the tube
I know that was you
I know that was you cuz I never do that
Why am I so afraid?
How can we say that I love you when I'm still so dazed (and confused)?
I know it's not so complicated
Just a chemical equation
In the mind
You see the blood in my eyes?
And since the devil disagrees with me
I found an angel who gets me high
And I don't know why
I've got these feral bloodhounds running wild with doubts in my mind
Looking for something I know they won't ever find
Looking for something I know they won't ever find
Because I love you
I know I don't need to say this, but I really do (love you)

I feel bad for the ghosts that live here too
I hope they don't pick up my attitude
Cuz I've been cold
I can feel the snowfall in my spine
Shiver goes away when I look in your eyes
The shade of ice, you said, I beg to disagree
Blue sky on a summer's day is all I see
I've been giving dirty looks to the moon
I know you've been glaring at her too
Wait
Stop
I think she's starting to notice
My toes are cold, but I couldn't care less
When I'm with you I lose the feeling in my bones
I reminisce and hardly recall being cold
The probability of freezing to death here is low
Cuz our bodies are melting the snow

Feng Shui

|

|
How do I explain what takes place?
When two worlds collide and
Rearrange the space, upset my feng shui
Wait, it's better this way
As you might have guessed, I'm a bloody mess
You just caught me at a bad time to come by
I'm not even dressed
Let's move the couch to the corner
My right, your left, we're getting close
Look at me and move yourself a few feet my way
Don't you give up if you stub your toe
Let me kiss it for you

Earthling

You offer me fruit as you lie
In you bed, I'm at your side
Only chance to say goodbye
Your dad has no idea what's going on
Or so you say...
I can't take much more of this
Hospital gowns make me sick
You explain there's nothing wrong
Your people wait for your return
And this is how you move along
Drift away to other planets
I give your dad a banana
As you say...
I don't know where to begin
You're some kind of alien?
I fell in love with a creature beyond my comprehension
I'm dreaming of a girl from outer space

Night Visions
01:41
|
|||
|
I raise white flags to the
Electric sheep in my head
Feel my body and brain
Lose connection, slip away
Burn itself out at dawn
I can count on my fear
To infest the day
As long as
I give in, let you in
Night visions will begin
In due time, I'll dream well
So goodnight, my love, for now

Starbuck

How do I choose the words to use
To describe your eyes?
Luminous glowing waves of blue sky
I find new worlds in your eyes
Hey there, Starbuck, how goes the hunt?
Don't look at the sea for too long
It starts in the dark, Cartesian Vortex
In my old room with you
Optimistically
Carefully carefree
An opportunity to wear Saturn's rings

Code Song
07:23
|
|||
|
Green eyes scan the table of elements for a pattern
I'll overthink, then guess wrong
Find my name in the atomic numbers
I wrote you back
Dried out my pen
Made up my tongue
Made it overly complicated
What's your code?
What do you want me to know?
I'm getting close
But so far from words I used to know
I'll combine
Hidden figures in your eyes
Defy time
Find myself lost in design

Solstice
05:21
|
|||
|
I don't want to go home
It hurts so much to leave you here
I know we both know
We won't meet again until next year
So keep your eyes on the post office
I'll meet you in lettering after the solstice
Forgetting the time
How we change our feed connections
I'm losing my high, now
I descry the horizon for perspective
So peel your eyes like paper clips
I'll the the sky a little more after the solstice
And with every hit of turbulence
I'm closer to losing it
We'll all fall from the sky
Can't you see it in my eyes?
There's a light that gets brighter
Now I want to go home
Yes, I fly so contradictive
Let out the bad smoke
Let my wings fold down for my affliction
So light your eyes like cigarettes
I will fly your way after the solstice
And it only gets brighter from here
Forget about the landing gear
I'll fall from the sky
Can't you see it in my eyes?
There's a light that gets brighter
And it only gets brighter from here
As we're burning off another year
Tell it to all your friends
This is where we begin
It only gets brighter from here
As we're burning down another year
Yell it to all your friends
This is where we begin
It only gets brighter from here
As we're burning up another year
Share it with all your friends
This is not the end
It only gets brighter
