Exit Sign
03:19
|

|
standing under the exit sign
one foot forward and one behind
taking a drag from a cigarette
the other hand clinging to regret
i'll never be me again
told a lie to a friend
not knowing how it would end
lost no matter how you shout
i try the light but it's burned out
what's the point of going on
when i wake up and it's all gone

Lost and Found
03:42
|

|
deep in the sea
half and incomplete
i’m feathery
i’m the roots of a tree
are you sure she’s
standing on her feet
does she fall down or
get back on her knees
so smother me into the ground
leave me for the lost and found
quietly without a sound
leave me for the lost and found
shelter her
cover her with fur
so insecure
candle-wax prisoner
leave me be
i don’t want to be seen
let me crumble
dissolve into the breeze
so smother me into the ground
leave me for the lost and found
quietly without a sound
leave me where i’ll never be found

Be Quiet
03:36

why will i hear her say those words
cry for mercy
when i turn to lend her a hand
the seat is empty
so let's be quiet
wouldn't want to wake him up
the kind of silent
that'll surely shake him up
don't want to listen to that ringing in my ear
cause it frightens me to know what i'll hear
girl in the mirror cries out don't
let them hurt me
if i drive my car into the sea
will it wake me

Empty Room
02:45
|
|||
|
afraid to move
cracking through
silhouette
hold my breath
dirty shoes
take a cruise
down the stairs
empty room
saints i hope
know the most
pledge an oath
promise true
light’s gone out
dare to crawl
found the door
bruise some more

i have seen the ocean churning without a pause
moving on the gears are turning without a cause
is it all just a monument to a dream
regret for every waking moment not yet redeemed
simple to fate
lying in wait
ancient thoughts, new solutions to come about
i feel it now, somethings clawing to get out
simple to fate
lying in wait
i used to have these dreams
the world, it seemed so small
chained to a comet I saw it all
getting in too deep
floating through your hall
though for what it's worth i was just a thrall
but what mattered most
went out with the tide
chained to a comet i was left behind
is it so hard to believe
i went along for a ride
it's no surprise in the end it would blow my mind

Lilies
04:25
|
|||
|
sugar petal love
honey from above
dried and cracking
resin’s opened up
just lay down and breathe
falling underneath
frozen guts and fairy dust
just lay down and grieve
how will i endure
someone i adore
wish you would keep pure
so i can keep score
sickly sweet allure
hiding in the core
wish there was a cure
end my sickly war
nobody needs to know
sing to the radio
empty party
baby’s first kill, just an innocent doe
socket i despise
yellow coloured eyes
lilies in the mirror
cross my heart and die

Echoes (8-Track Version)
04:09
|
|||
|
four walls, a floor, and a ceiling
can they contain the strain that i'm feeling
so late at night, hardly sleeping
i'm dead weight
tempting fate
softly creeping
so you
when you call my name
it's just echoes on the wall
so loose
is my grip on the game
it's just echoes on the wall
do you mind the joy i've been leeching
fill the void into which i've been reaching
i possess a heart not worth stealing
i confess
that i'm a mess
the end is nearing

By This River
02:52
|
|||
|
here we are
stuck by this river
you and i
underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down
ever falling down
through the day
as if on an ocean
waiting here
always failing to remember why we came, came, came
i wonder why we came
you talk to me
as if from a distance
and i reply
with impressions chosen from another time, time, time
from another time
