Hypersomniac 04:54
lyrics
I drift between other people's worlds Like a vampire of memory I fall asleep but I never wake I exist in the gaps between Holes in my mind like the Albert Hall Waking dreams when I gather 'round Endless succession of points in time I listen but don't hear a sound I take up air I take up space I've got two lungs I've got one face I wanna give I wanna keep I wanna run I wanna sleep A plotless film with an atmosphere Like a tornado touching down Place to place when I wake up there It's the travel I disavow I take up air I take up space I've got two lungs I've got one face I wanna give I wanna keep I wanna run I wanna sleep

Walk on the Water 03:58
lyrics
There came a time when I couldn't hear you anymore In dark rooms waiting for healing If faith is meant to help me see what I believe I haven't seen in years I won't walk on the water I won't walk on the sea I won't walk on the water Who has forsaken me? I cried for you when I was nineteen You know I cried for you It seems a little crazy you were with me on that beach The silence overwhelming steps I never took I won't walk on the water I won't walk on the sea I won't walk on the water Who has forsaken me? Well he's the same God today As he was yesterday And will be forever

Waiting for the Glory 03:43
lyrics
I'd love a little thanks for standing here Waiting for the glory Promises I'm holding you to dear Waiting for the glory I need a quick salvation I need a miracle I need something to soothe this Longing I no longer can ignore I need a conversation I need a fast food saint I need a sign to tell me All about this God I ain't Monolith before me silently Waiting for the glory Overwhelmed by ghosts I'll never see Waiting for the glory I need a quick salvation I need a miracle I need something to soothe this Longing I no longer can ignore I need a conversation I need a fast food saint I need a sign to tell me All about this God I ain't

Relentless 03:12
lyrics
'Round the circle we roam Time moves fast and then slow But I will never let you go 'Round the circle we roam I never thought that I could feel this way I prayed to God that you would always stay But then I went and prayed you away 'Round the circle we roam Just how long no one knows I was never one to let go 'Round the circle we roam I never thought that I could feel this way I prayed to God that you would always stay But then I went and prayed you away

Turquoise Friends 03:30
lyrics
My turquoise friends keep the sad times at bay Until they don't, until they don't My turquoise friends laugh with me on good days Until they don't, until they don't My woes got rhythm My woes got feet My woes got songs They dance in the street My woes got sorrows All of their own They hide them from me Until I get home My turquoise friends hug me tight in the cold Until they don't, until they don't My turquoise friends keep me from getting old Until they don't, until they don't My woes got rhythm My woes got feet My woes got songs They dance in the street My woes got sorrows All of their own They hide them from me Until I get home

Loving You 04:02
lyrics
I came early to the party When you said no need to smile I was dancing like a fool But I remembered I would die Then alone I scanned the dance floor You had left with all your friends Now I'm staring at my feet In a space I don't understand Loving you was never easy Loving you was never fun Loving you was never easy But you are my only one Was a little after midnight When you stole both of my shoes You laughed harder when I fell Even deeper in love with you Loving you was never easy Loving you was never fun Loving you was never easy But you are my only one Loving you was never easy Loving you was never free Loving you was never easy Girl, you made a mess of me

Pink Sweater 03:49
lyrics
I thought I was a woman I thought I was a saint I thought I was everything Pink sweater Dirty floor Dark weather Wanting more I thought I was a woman Long before There was a time before all time When all was one, and you were mine Before the split, my heart was fine I thought I was a husband I thought I was a chore I thought I was nothing at all Pink sweater Shiny ring Hung debtor Second string I thought I was a husband Silly thing There was a time before all time When all was one, and you were mine Before the split, my heart was fine

Insecure 02:44
lyrics
With blonde hair and a tiny mouth she knows how to use She's a vampire of memory, scare the fuck out of you She's got a thing in her shower and all of the power, she knows In a blazer that cuts just like a knife out of hell She's much sharper than me, and I pray she can't tell She's got her hand on my member then I can't remember her code She makes me feel so insecure She makes me feel so insecure She makes me feel so insecure With her legs wrapped around me I forget how to breathe When my face turns to blue those are the nights I believe There is no love in the world, but I think 'bout this girl all the time She makes me feel so insecure She makes me feel so insecure She makes me feel so insecure

They Shoot Tigers 03:58
lyrics
They shot the tiger They shot my friend They shot him in the nighttime and they'll Shoot him again Come on pretty man of mine No need to talk that way You may say I'm just a woman Well, I'm biting my tongue Don't tell me that I'm acting strange They shot the tiger Right between the eyes They'd shoot the whole damn arc If just to hide some of their lies Come on pretty man of mine No need to talk that way You may say I'm just a woman Well, I'm biting my tongue Don't tell me that I'm acting strange

Ruin My Day 03:19
lyrics
Glow up and take me with you Bet you won't Glow up and burn it down I'm scared to say I miss you Bet I won't Ever see you around I saw your face and my mine melted off I saw your face and my mind took off I saw your face and it ruined my day It ruined my day Glow up and take me with you Honey pie Glow up without a peep I get so tired of longing Light of mine I see you in my dreams I saw your face and my mine melted off I saw your face and my mind took off I saw your face and it ruined my day It ruined my day I see your hair in my memory Silver and gold like a Christmas tree Every summer, this happens to me You happened to me I saw your face and my mine melted off I saw your face and my mind took off I saw your face and it ruined my day It ruined my day

Vampira 03:43
lyrics
You are my sun and my moon and my stars But when all's said and done, you're whatever you are There's a violence within you and candy on top Like a pill draped in black whose effects never stop Bite me in the neck and seal my fate You are the vampire whose legs go for miles I see heaven above you erupting with fire In a state of oblivion I fall to my knees Like a prayer that I'm spared but to kill is a breeze Bite me in the neck and make it quick Bite me in the neck 'fore I get sick Bite me in the neck and seal my fate

Daniel on Milwaukee 05:18
lyrics
I am Daniel I am Daniel on Milwaukee Lighting fires with my teeth Walking places I can't speak The Lord delivered you Why won't he deliver me? I've been waiting for so long That it's becoming hard to see My twin, my God, my enemy My name that's split in two If I weren't so desperate I would Never have loved you I am Daniel I am Daniel on Milwaukee Like a giant lumbering Getting high beyond my dreams The Lord delivered you Why won't he deliver me? I've been waiting for so long That it's becoming hard to see My twin, my God, my enemy My name that's split in two If I weren't so desperate I would Never have loved you
