Bare
07:50

Brush past your neck
kisses sewn on brown shoulders
hands around your waist hovers
oh I feel something growing
can't stop now, I can't stop now
oh, oh we are inside
oh we are tongue tied
blistering on fire, on fire
Giving it all away
Giving it all away
Giving it all away
Giving it all away
Chase your swollen heart
feel, feel your part
I, I feel
so, so still
oh, oh so deep inside
restless soul
blood red tide
take away our names
our names
Giving it all away
Giving it all away
Giving it all away
I give it all to you
Give it all to you
Sitting on a chair
so say you come
oh so bare
bare to the bones
on your hands
chair
oh so wasted, cut and pasted
oh, oh so deep inside
souls, souls they writhe
I can't take it all
all
Giving it all away
Giving it all away
Giving it all away
Giving it all
all to you
Giving it all to you
I can't stay forever
in a room full of melted candles
waiting for another cage
of wilted flowers
there is no
no one here and no embrace
all you are inside
I can't take it all
I can't take it all
I can't take it all

Hey... can you hold me
I don't feel
integrated
your soul
running away
Spider webs
in my head
75 and counting
75 and counting
Spider webs
in my head
75 and counting
75 and counting
I can't stand straight
I can't stand
straight
Spider webs
in my head
75 and counting
75 and counting
Spider webs
in my head
75 and counting
75 and counting
Oh oh you're coming
break me like ritalin
oh rubber ball and
I'm I'm I'm bouncing
and you could be like
the one's who hated
me when I was
so so so
so small
Spider webs
in my head
75 and counting
75 and counting
Spider webs
in my head
75 and counting
75 and counting
Spider webs
in my head
75 and counting
75 and counting
Spider webs
in my head
75 and counting
75 and counting

I found your diary
cascade of sadness
buried beneath the
tree swing
by the lake
you used to
swim in

Break Light
04:53
|
|||
Brake light
cathartic haze
excite
its out of phase
behind
closed doors
hold you down
cut out
your soul
and stitched your mouth
tonight you burn it all away
tonight embrace the silent pain
give it a name, give it a name
in the bondaged moonlight
tonight burn it all away
brake light
Eden's sin
cauterize
ravaged skin
stand up
when the beatings fail
hold tight
to the daggers blade
tonight we burn it all away
tonight silence (the) monster's pain
give it a name, give it a name
in the bondaged moonlight
tonight just burn it all away
Beauty farms
and plastic smiles
polished alibaster lies
sharpened nail
tattoos your soul
promises to make you whole
but you never
were broken
no you never were broken
Brake light
cathartic haze
excite
its out of phase
behind
closed doors
hold you down
cut out
your soul
and stitched your mouth
tonight you burn it all away
tonight embrace the silent pain
give it a name, give it a name
in the bondaged moonlight
tonight burn it all away
tonight we burn it all away
tonight silence (the) monster's pain
give it a name, give it a name
in the bondaged moonlight
tonight just burn it all away
brake light

Thin Ice
05:31
|
|||
take off your make up
and kill me slow
you float up above
I rest below
nature pursues
the trees so tall
I hope one doesn't fall
on me
drive down the highway
into the fog
Bear and Man
sitting on a log
talking about the peril
in the world
about the boys and girls
who play
in the killing fields
and you are my favorite vice
lighting bonfires on thin ice
shooting columns in the sky
life is just a blink of an eye
Brownsville ruins
spirits charade
tears washed away
the plans we made
violent pursuit
of hollow fame
death to those who claim
they did nothing wrong
and you are my favorite vice
lighting bonfires on thin ice
shooting columns in the sky
life is just a blink of an eye
and I will hunt you down
make you wish you never
laid your dirty hands
on the purity of love
on the sanctity of love
I will hunt you down
swallow your pills
and drink your milk
wash off the mud
lay on your silk
chase away the past
and start anew
your future is today
your future is today
and you are my favorite vice
lighting bonfires on thin ice
shooting columns in the sky
life is just a blink of an eye
and you are my favorite vice
lighting bonfires on thin ice
shooting columns in the sky
life is just a blink of an eye
of an eye

Baby Mission
03:53
|

baby mission
can't stop wishing
for a cup of luck
ace of spades
and knowing
when are you
coming home?
borrowed all the blood you spilled
took too many goddamn pills
broke all the promises you made
baby mission
baby mission
can't stop giving you
pearly handled gaze
and you
when are you coming home?
took all the smiles and broke em
colored all the songs and spoke them
poetry kills
baby mission
baby mission
baby mission
ah ah haaaha ah
ooohs and awwws
baby mission
baby mission
baby mission

Age Of Dinosaurs

fall into the phone
hope has taken
hope has taken
a long time
hope has taken
hope has taken
and your cage is open wide
and your cage is open wide
it's the age of dinosaurs
feel the bones that broke before
it's the age of dinosaurs
feel the bones that broke
that break
fall into the phone
hope has taken
hope has taken
a long time
hope has taken
hope has taken
and your cage is open wide
and your cage is open wide
it's the age of dinosaurs
feel the bones that broke before
it's the age of dinosaurs
feel the bones that broke
that break
hope has taken
hope has taken
a long time
fall
into
the
phone

Safe

you will float away
in your hidden shelter
a place to make mistakes
a place to chase your
children's dragons
Safe
safe
safe
and sound
you will comb your hair
softly feel your body
free without a stare
tasting all your secrets
secrets
safe
safe
safe
and sound
safe, safe, safe and sound
you will float away
in your hidden shelter
a place to make mistakes
a place to chase
your children's dragons
Safe
safe
safe
and sound
safe, safe, safe and sound
safe..... safe.......

Polaroid (Broken Halos)
06:03
|
|||
Little Red up on the jack
fix the flat on the 101
Ziggy Stardust starts to skip
on the scratches
rainbow beacons in the sun
hitch hike highway
we were not the only ones
so lost
and taken for a ride
social suicide
in the dark alone
chorus:
Back to the place we used to go
Hollywood heroes
dieing on the strip we'd flip the scripts
we'd never know
cyan girls and purple boys
in the hazy spot lights
fade into the Polaroid
the hydroquinone ghosts
our memories etched in skin
of our broken halos... of our broken halos...
taste salt water on our skin
the bitter sweet clue
of where we've been
spyder girls at Huntington
skating in the pools and on the fringe
orange moonlight
writing words on napkins at midnight
playing Madame Wongs busted blood stained songs
on neon overdrive
Back to the place we used to go
Hollywood heroes
dieing on the strip we'd flip the scripts
we'd never know
cyan girls and purple boys
in the hazy spot light
fade into the Polaroid
the hydroquinone ghosts
our memories etched in skin
of our broken halos... of our broken halos...
why? why?
gone gone
of our broken halos....
Little Red up on the jack
fix the flat on the 101
Ziggy Stardust starts to skip
on the scratches
rainbow beacons in the sun
hitch hike highway
we were not the only ones
so lost
and taken for a ride
social suicide
in the dark alone
Back to the place we used to go
Hollywood heroes
dieing on the strip we'd flip the scripts
we'd never know
cyan girls and purple boys
in the hazy spot lights
fade into the Polaroid
the hydroquinone ghosts
our memories etched in skin
of our broken halos...
of our broken halos

Needle Down
05:26
|
|||
you can't find the colors
Christ who mock the flock
in front of you
the bleach on those who matter
the taste of metal behind your eyes
you push the needle down
to scratch the itch
the groove is hard to prove
you lay your life down
now
needle down now
now
needle down now
you can't stand the signal
the mental squeeze from your TV
why can't someone touch you?
where are the words,
it's just emoticons
you push the needle down
to scratch the itch
the groove is hard to prove
you lay your life down
now
needle down now
now
needle down now
deer runs
superfluous fawn
metal killing machines
are on their way
the deer will win
in the end
heaven is full of lost souls
wandering to find their names
wondering where they came from
and where they're supposed to go
and why they are here
maybe they're the deer?
you can't find the colors
find the colors
you can't take the signal
the mental squeeze
you push the needle down
to scratch the itch
the groove is hard to prove
you lay your life down
you push the needle down
to scratch the itch
the groove is hard to prove
you lay your life down
now
needle down now
now
