From This Distance
04:10
|
|||
Some hesitation saved me for awhile
Blind frustration - I took it with a smile
From this distance things look very very small
Time moved backward - a faded memory
Missed the deadline
Late by centuries
From this distance things look very very small

Perfect Picture
04:10
|

How can you paint the perfect picture?
How can you paint the perfect line?
How can you say you think it’s over?
Why are you always alkaline?
Trapped inside your head
How can you say we`re going nowhere?
How can you say that we are through?
Why don’t you tell a perfect story?
How come the skies are never blue?
Inside your head…the lights are red
How can you say you beat the system?
You only fooled yourself again
When you decide to make a statement
Painting stars with a poison pen

Raise a Glass
05:06
|

With your halo shattered, you might start again
Just defeat the pattern straight to the end
Raise a glass
Hold your hand out for the key
Raise your glass
Slip the tumblers, and now you’re free
But you fall apart when the cold winds blow
And you fall apart
When the sun shines through your window
Now that clouds have darkened the stars in your eyes
Find a way to pardon and start to revise
Raise a glass
Hold your hand out for the key
Raise your glass
Slip the tumblers, and now you’re free
But you fall apart when the cold winds blow
And you fall apart
When the sun shines through your window

Blackout Dream Blues
05:05
|
|||
A cup of kindness before I step into the light
Chase the silence to quiet my mind for the night
But you drag me down
Sleep through the day when you can’t stand in the sunlight
Waiting for the lightning, like a kite
Builds like a blister
The magic that means to mislead
Sunset whispers that tell me you have what I need
But you drag me down
Blackout dreams are where I am found
Sleep through the day when you can’t stand in the sunlight
Still as a stone that sinks without a fight
Dropped in the water, but the ripples just die
Waiting for the lightning, like a kite

Skinless
04:48
|
|||
Peel back the pretense
I'm unarmed and unarmored
Understand: I'm skinless, a sullen teen
The smallest thing can crush me
All of this space, it suffocates
And my tongue gets tied
Walking these frozen streets alone
I realized that we are just the same: we’re prey
And I wish I didn't want it
Most days feel impossible
When I want to be on your list and on your tongue
And I can't wait for another summer to arrive
Before my skin grows back and blocks the sun
Erase the scars of all the things I've done
And we are just the same: no shame
We still believe that next time will be different
But I wish I didn't want it

Nico

Nico’s daydreaming the questions
She looks for answers in the clouds
No one can help you now
She burns her skin off in the shower
But she can’t scrub out the crowd
Songs unsung and words unsaid
While wearing the clothes of the dead
‘Til she escapes this backwards town
No one can help you now
Nico’s daydreaming the answers
To questions she can’t think out loud
And all the things she doesn’t feel
Are censored and concealed
Until this cracked vase spills them out
No one can help you now
No one can

Laser Hands
03:22
|
|||
With laser hands, I`m reaching out for you
Took the call, took the fall…what else could I do?
Beyond my eyes I will see you through
Feel the pain feel the flame…broken in two
I will see you through
With laser hands, I will set you free
Take the reins break the chains…freedom by degree
It’s time to run, let your spirit be
Move ahead breathe again…the everlasting key
I will see you through

Stare It Down
04:27
|
|||
Time is a lullaby
Sleep through the days like an endless night
Stare down your dreams until you get them right
Time is a lullaby
The sky in your eyes is all you can see
Before you get broken, come to me
And we’ll fly through these halcyon days
Birds out of season, we’ll flee our wicker cage
And stare down the ghost that you called by name
Fly, and we’ll fade away
The sky in your eyes is all you can see
Before you get broken, come to me
Forget the past
Stay off the barrows
You can’t go back and try to bring her here
I can hear their wings beat at the door
Their tiny, bloody beaks lie on the floor

You'll Never Know
04:09
|
|||
I snuck inside and I stole a book of your secrets long ago
Skimmed down to the part that had my name, and just below
I didn’t mean to force a confession - I didn’t know
How could I know?
Tending the old flame all through my prime
Playing the long game - I’ll bide my time
And wait for them to die
You’ll never know
