Someone 03:47
There upon the darkest night I float in constellations made of blinking LED lights. This is all I have become, The one who pays the bills The one who keeps the blessed power on. Every monument decays, One drop of rain even the hardest stone gets washed away. And when the final door has slammed The meals on wheels will find me with the remote control in my hand. Enter now and you might win the chance to be someone. This is your last chance to spin the wheel before it’s gone. Youth is just a falling star, Everything you own fits in the backseat of your car. Gifts are laid down at your feet, Laurel wreaths are heaped All just because you are who you are. Enter now and you might win the chance to be someone. This is your last chance to spin the wheel before it’s gone.

Forgiving 03:33
Whatever I’ve done my darling one, you know that I am all for you. Whenever I start to drag you down, I know that you won’t cut me loose. It don’t make no sense, that hearts should have to break like this. Is it a tune that we forget, a shadow underneath the moon? Do you feel a vague regret, on summer mornings bright and new? It should be obvious, love shouldn’t end in bitterness. How long have we been waiting, for things to become clear. Are we simply waiting out the losing that we fear When we should just be breathing, The in and out of living, And endlessly forgiving. Into the blue my darling one, you know the future is untold. Why do we always have to fight, knowing life will end too soon? It makes no sense to me, that love requires therapy. Why do we always have to give each other storms and rainy days, When we could spend our time in summer breezes, lying in the shade? It don’t make no sense, that hearts should have to break like this. How long have we been waiting, for things to become clear? Are we simply waiting out the losing that we fear? When we should just be breathing, the in and out of living, And endlessly forgiving.

Sun 04:18
Sometimes I think of a place That don’t exist anymore, Where they will save Only the pure, And let the rest of them burn. We will fall into the sun. We will fall into the sun. Give me the keys To the garage, I’m building a weapon in there. When they break in All the will find Is my skin and my hair. We will fall into the sun. We will fall into the sun. In the evening when your work is done, You can rest your weary head upon your pillow, And dream of fields all violet green and yellow. Great black smoke stacks Hold up the sky - It is the will of the wise. No better time To invest In the ultimate crime. We will fall into the sun. We will fall into the sun. In the evening when your work is done, You can rest your weary head upon your pillow, And dream of fields all violet green and yellow.

Leaves 02:55
There was a time, A time before the fall, When love was something real - And it did fall Like gentle rain on dappled fields, I had faith, Faith in the whole deal, The world did turn in vast magnetic fields And we believed it all was ours. When did we wander off through the leaves and the shadows? Will my heart be there where I left it so long ago? Is it right That love should have to heal The wounds we made with no apparent need? Should we not pay for all our deeds? Is it fair That we should have to stay? The world might turn and then just roll away. Do we need someone to blame When we just wandered off through the leaves and the shadows? Will my heart be there where I left it so long ago?

Unknown 05:08
When the end came I was sleeping. I didn’t notice That the world had moved on. When I woke up It was broken - So I found out Everything I knew was gone. The sun was setting Over the freeway. I was alone. I was lost could not get home So I wandered, Without direction, Into the unknown. They built a statue For the fallen In the city To remind us what they gave. I fought my battles In the arcade By the counter For cologne and aftershave. The sun was setting Over the freeway. I was alone. I was lost could not get home So I wandered, Without direction, Into the unknown. You know I can’t complain - They work you hard but treat you well. You know I can’t complain About the darkness in my soul. When excavators dig my bones Will we connect across time zones? When all that’s left is teeth and mud Will there be remnants of love? If you find me Will you know me? Will you kiss me? Will you remember who I am? If there’s somewhere To return from Will you love me? Will you tell me who I am? The sun was setting etc. …

Stronger 03:23
When you hate me, I know you only hate me because you really love me. When you push me away, I know you’re only pushing Because you’re wanting me to stay. They’re only feelings, But sometimes we get swept away. Those feelings. We will not laugh we will not play. We will sit in our room and sulk all day. When you hate me, I know you only hate me because you really love me. When you push me away, I know you’re only pushing Because you’re wanting me to stay. I know you love me, Love me in a hundred ways. You love me. Just how it goes you cannot say. We will sit in our room and cry all day. We will sit in our room. We will sit in our room and cry all day. You’re stronger than you know You can make the sun shine and the wind blow You’re bigger than the sky You can make the grass grow and the birds fly You won’t do what your told You can make the storm clouds and the thunder roll Stronger than any man A teenage girl can crush you with just one stare (Repeat to fade out).

Blind 03:42
Matt – Don’t tell me, I do not need reminding, I do not need reminding of those times. When we fucked up, we fucked up everything we touched. We couldn’t have made it more fucked up If we fucking tried. Mary – When we tried, we seemed to get it right. We seemed to get it right, some of the time. But you never, never paid attention, Never really noticed, How hard I tried. Matt – There was something, something between us, Transferable to no one else. I don’t know why you tried. When you hurt me, you didn’t’ seem to notice. Didn’t even see me, like you were blind. Mary – I hurt you, because I could not get to you. You didn’t even see, all the times I cried. You were blind to everything I needed. Could only live in your world, but you couldn’t live in mine. Matt – Don’t tell me, I do not need reminding. I’ve been running from those times. When we fucked up, we fucked up everything we touched. We couldn’t have made it more fucked up If we fucking tried. Mary – I’ll remind you, every time I see you, Every time I see you, of those times. We brought light, Light to everything we touched. Enough to light the airwaves up, Though we were blind.

Signs 04:01
There are signs written in the firmament. There are signs put there by the government. There are lines visible from outer space, That guide the gods to the landing place. There are signs, signs that are everywhere. There are signs so you won’t be scared. There are signs that designate your safety zone. There are signs so you’ll never be alone. There are signs looking like they’ve always been there. There are signs projecting light into the atmosphere. There are signs, signs written in the palm of your hand. There are signs saying beware beware. There are signs telling what the future will bring. Without signs we might do impossible things.

Child 03:49
Your quiet breath - The world can take a rest. In my arms - The world can do no harm. I’ll keep you safe, Whenever you may sleep, And I’ll make promises That I’ll never keep. My perfect child - The gift of all tomorrows. I’d spare you all the darkest days And hide you from all sorrows. Your quiet breath - I’ll always do my best for you. And I’ll forget All the rest I’ll lose for you. My perfect child - The gift of all tomorrows. I’d spare you all the darkest days And hide you from all sorrows.

Light 05:28
Light travels in a straight line from the night light in the hall to the end of time. Going past so fast, dazzled by the light. Flying past the exit in the dead of night. When I cross over the bridge the moon still follows me. The lights in the park still follow me. The breathing in the dark still follows me. In all the broken pieces that I left behind There’s something everlasting that is ill-defined. There’s sadness in the touch of your skin on mine. I still feel the loss of things I could not find. When I cross over the bridge the moon still follows me. The lights in the park still follow me. The breathing in the dark still follows me.
