Death Mask 03:21
All life gone, yo my eyes and my arms And my body dead Slip into a sleepy death Dreamy, dream-like this afternoon Closed its palms, says see you soon Baby love life, baby love life, baby love life Gets so late, the moonlight shines She puts on her death mask Stop, stop, you're g-g-givin' me a heart attack Be whatever breaks your loneliness Be whatever breaks your loneliness You and me Night horse, discourse This voice, no God, night ride I can sit in how fast To take you where Iron lung eats blanket air, steel wool Sandpaper like sand you meet your own Lost birdies out finding ways back home Back home, back home, back home Gets so late, the moonlight shines She puts on her death mask Stop, stop, you're g-g-givin' me a heart attack Be whatever breaks your loneliness Be whatever breaks your loneliness You and me Yeah you and me

Easy like the wind goes by your skin My hands, metal bracing Coldness like the coldest day, the coldest way To say hello I ever heard Simple like how waterfalls My hands are only moving softly Treats your poisoned blood, she'll eat your curse Her kiss is only chasing holiness Half life, city ate me, hold your voice Silence, silence Come around next year In part harmony Half life lullaby You love with words Exorcise a loneliness Emptied out on linoleum Sunbeams break in the door An avalanche of noise in your head Rings inside of the ears to tell you, what you What you, wanna hear Half life, city ate me, hold your voice Silence, silence Come around next year In part harmony Half life lullaby You love with words Exorcise a loneliness Emptied out on, oh Half life lullaby oh sing me half a song I'll learn to give love with words Exorcise a loneliness Emptied out on linoleum

Buried in the sun or born in dreams Sing without munition sing for me How every word your truth could tell no lies Cools your poisoned blood, distills your mind All the love, yeah I had enough Of ways to survive, ways to survive Still love you baby, yeah you always make it Set with the sun, set with the sun All sweetness love your personality Breathes only breaths we both have made the same Oh hell I know you know I will concede Now we can sit real still and still believe All the love, yeah I had enough Of ways to survive, ways to survive Still love you baby, yeah you always make it Set with the sun, set with the sun

Stardeath 03:00
Stardeath, a cloud, like afterthoughts Provided lies arrange your thoughts Like dominos in a heat sink Caressin' your heart in ruby blushing Bloodlife in the deepest sea Or sympathy or it will be Forever in the stoney sky Said I love you love, won't tell no lies Said I want you just the way you are Says I love you love, don't you feel at all like Twenty-million-thousand times A billion years, it's stars all night Event horizon next to you And your radiance in a dream Event horizon next to you And your radiance in a dream Breaks the morning on a cliff Capsized it sinks those sunken ships Of sleepy memories that lost Their way to find new harbors not The fate you will escape yourself All drinky and a drunken wave Of time, oh separates us from The end and all that's left that was The stardust in your coffee can Stardeath you are become my friend And everlasting light An everlasting night

Blue eyes like crosshairs Alligator hunts there's A hundred pounds of flesh for you You Lays down like hands Butcher slays the lamb Separates the fish in two Ooh Falls out like blood Samurai who cuts it up A field of leaves falling this year Autumn I know you'll bring me the same The same Cold air so dense Condensing every minute Heavy as a brick tonight Tonight– Plays God in dreams Full control of everything Headhunting you can have yours too Ooh Ahh-ahh-ahh Brings it like the winter till the end Till the end Only roses in the summer Only roses in the summer More words for you to cover Goes by beside my mindMy mind, my mind My mind Better luck maybe next spring Better luck maybe next spring Guess it gives you words to sing Like I love you Like I love you

Seashells 05:18
Love life nevermore Sun rays break window shades again The sound of machine guns In dreams God sailed away Hammers only soon Big stars at night to sing for you Almost the best that I could Put words together to Meets my Godsend Valentine billboard resurrect Ways to escape the Slow night creeps on like morning sun Often just the same Big love to go and wash away Go and wash away Go and wash away Outside in the snowy distance On my trail to you, my trail to you Hunger to begin and end Eats all things, oh we don't pretend To eat you too, to eat you too, eat you too Oh well damn, oh goddamn Goddamn it five times, forever I am Water pools of seashells Selling seafloor on the seashore Selling all my decorations, I put 'em up Said I don't need you anymore, anymore We carve waterfalls with our teeth And my hand separates the water Falling around my moving hand Down myself into the earth Where I guess I found myself out of Soaking sunlight just for fun Soaking sun like just for fun For fun

My Exorcist 02:13
Solvent, defense, card it depends Silver like the lining to your world World Supreme love it's a love to Dream Sorceress and my exorcist Summons every other fucking day Oh devil you'll make the same mistake Acid, metal, receive angel Antifreezes ice, a silhouette Lord we both sang the same regret Sorceress and my exorcist Summons every other fucking day Oh devil you'll make the same mistake Sorceress and my exorcist Summons every other fucking day Oh devil you'll make the same mistake

Cynicism 03:18
'Bout twenty minutes here from now I'll drop into a land, I used to know I don't control, I don't deform Bright roman candles scatter up your mind Exploding stars, in the dark All acid green and turquoise pink By God I'll break the sky in two Rain, rain, an avalanche Winter for you snowstorm Only ashes of one world Collides, it meets itself In Columbine, a Desert Storm All my loved ones, all my other loves I'll never meet your cynicism with Two wings to drive a body high Once a lifetime in this moment Ichi-go-ichi-e Eclipse the permanence Goodbye the winds of time and space And space, and space, and space River rift, a universe A vein, flooding wave, running time A leak, all bleedy sunbeams raining through the night Infrared and heaven bled And detonated bricks of dynamite Whipping seas and windy breeze Meets foggy sailors foggy mind Rock and roll and got rolled And all God told and all things gold There's a golden sunset fading in the sky In the sky In the sky

And Love 04:28
I look out, we close up The shutters pierce a window, we found love Called truth a wishing well, I got drunk And freedom was a lighthouse like the sun And you the moon Falls through your hands you sifted into sand Distort I work for words I never knew Prescribed myself a winter in the night to use Pours waterfalls of lifelike water when you sing Meet me Maybe half the way to God, I was stoned Built half a million worlds, I destroyed Consumed a billion tons, I implode And sing you all one song I enjoy Falls through your hands you sifted into sand Distort, I work for words I never knew Prescribed myself a winter in the night to use Pours waterfalls of lifelike water when you sing And love, and love, and love, and love And love, and love, and love, and love And everywhere and all at once Oh baby I used to know Oh baby I used to know
12.
What you mean Oh the songs you sing There's more miles apart Than a wall of stars Like the love I had Turns out my anger with a switch Cut up their hearts into tiny bits Cuts out my mind like a falling kite And you speak with no words Speak with no words like Washed away Dry your tears, no they won't stay Worth the wishes you could understand Or the sink you set in the sand Like the love I had Turns out my anger with a switch Cut up their hearts into tiny bits Cuts out my mind like a falling kite And you speak with no words Speak with no words Loved like I could never die Bled like I could spill no lies Oh we talked so soft that I heard the sound Of silence like a song, silence like a song Sun shining all day long Goes on and on and on And on and on and on

Silhouettes 01:03
In my starry sky when I breathe again In my starry sky when I breathe again Ain't no difference ever known to me Ain't no difference ever known to me Like lover bring it home you see Bright angels in the night again Bright angels in the night again Bright angels in the night again Ooh la-la-la-la Ooh la-la-la-la

Splash 03:34
Love Ever now, however now Avalanche this winter how Easy with her broken hands Delivers labor like a sober solace in In this room Baby bring it all back home That sweet tooth for revenge All in your mind, all in your mind No ghost to owe you nothing Interrupts a hell from dreamless sleep Here in this shadow won't ya sing for me Sing for me tonight Your permission will make this jetpack go You got two options, you do or you don't Do or you don't Neutral 'most the time, then I Splash Oh my body crashed in the sea Waves that break with the beach Softest summertime sand Wind that catches her hair Soak it up in the sunshine Soak it up in she sunshine Dispirited away Dispirited away After all that proved for nothing After all that proved for nothing And love, and love And love, and love
