Signals
The signal bearing over sunlight rays
Relentless down on through these slow days
Chains holding men with no hands
A hundred years stuck by these lonely hands
Walk upon confession, tangled in expression
Communication, distress headed my direction
Inside my quality, it seemed so merrily
Oh, I miss the good old lonesome days
Signals blurry, comfy in my head
Avoiding the repeats that fill this glass
Yeah, I know all this shit must pass
Deserts drowning men without a heart
Ten thousand years erasing, tearing it all apart
That voice...
Relentless down on through these slow days
Chains holding men with no hands
A hundred years stuck by these lonely hands
Walk upon confession, tangled in expression
Communication, distress headed my direction
Inside my quality, it seemed so merrily
Oh, I miss the good old lonesome days
Signals blurry, comfy in my head
Avoiding the repeats that fill this glass
Yeah, I know all this shit must pass
Deserts drowning men without a heart
Ten thousand years erasing, tearing it all apart
That voice...

Standing In Line
She says she's fine but I know she's tired
From all the years of standing in line
Now I could say that I believe
At least I know I will until she leaves
It seems like I'm having an adventure
I guess it'll start when I go and get her
Your head will spin until you start moving yourself
I never thought I'd be the one that fell in love first
I acted as if I were to think this through
But my heart it screams that it wants to be with you
You can only be true to certain point
Brand new life, brand new paint
These changes don't mean a thing...
From all the years of standing in line
Now I could say that I believe
At least I know I will until she leaves
It seems like I'm having an adventure
I guess it'll start when I go and get her
Your head will spin until you start moving yourself
I never thought I'd be the one that fell in love first
I acted as if I were to think this through
But my heart it screams that it wants to be with you
You can only be true to certain point
Brand new life, brand new paint
These changes don't mean a thing...

Jessica
The sweetest thing you could do for me
Is taking care of your own selfish heart
Lines blaze through the seashore
And I can't say I understand anything
Jessica, you are nothing to me
If I could only believe what I say
Things would've been another way
I forgot I had left you hanging from a cliff
I'm sure you can manage to climb
Cause I've done enough for you
Cause I've done enough for you
Jessica, you are just a particle
Together we were less than others
And you are all that really bothers
Jessica, are you...
Is taking care of your own selfish heart
Lines blaze through the seashore
And I can't say I understand anything
Jessica, you are nothing to me
If I could only believe what I say
Things would've been another way
I forgot I had left you hanging from a cliff
I'm sure you can manage to climb
Cause I've done enough for you
Cause I've done enough for you
Jessica, you are just a particle
Together we were less than others
And you are all that really bothers
Jessica, are you...

Jasmine Will Grow
Hold me in your juniper arms
Little darling, why aren't you close?
Taking comfort in a new shoulder
And an evil sight that flies away
It's not a secret that I am gathering strength for what's coming round
And I'm just another human being, with human being problems
And I thought I had asked you to never hide among them
How does it feel to outlive your own heart and soul?
There's no point in hiding a tender cry
Such a lost and marvelous dream
And you can just sing along
Cause wind can take it all away
And dear, it's not a mistake to...
Little darling, why aren't you close?
Taking comfort in a new shoulder
And an evil sight that flies away
It's not a secret that I am gathering strength for what's coming round
And I'm just another human being, with human being problems

Window Leftovers
You told me you were crying in bed
I said I was doing that myself
But what if we leave everything behind instead?
And stop feeling like the same's itself
Don't you feel cheated too when it doesn't rain?
Or when the sun goes out just for a bit
To get through the night your love's to refrain
When we're alone, no fire can be lit
Whatever it is that you carry
Seems to be heavy
I know, that I'm meant to hold on
And I promise I'll try to hold on
Hold on
You came along in the form of a bird
That left traces of white stellar dusk...
I said I was doing that myself
But what if we leave everything behind instead?
And stop feeling like the same's itself
Don't you feel cheated too when it doesn't rain?

When we're alone, no fire can be lit

Seems to be heavy

And I promise I'll try to hold on

Tomorrow's A Whole New Life
I took the bullet
And it tore out my eye
But I'll never be blind enough
To miss you again
I waited to be found
And never looked for you
Things have changed
In time we all do
I gave up before time
Time isn't your thing or mine
Buried deep in sorrow
I know tomorrow is a whole new day
And this life will be long gone soon
If I can't spend this life with you
Well, I'll try to be there the next time
Somehow I keep finding you without effort, it's probably me not you
Keep telling me that
I ruined her life
And stabbed...
And it tore out my eye
But I'll never be blind enough
To miss you again
I waited to be found
And never looked for you
Things have changed
In time we all do
I gave up before time
Time isn't your thing or mine
Buried deep in sorrow
I know tomorrow is a whole new day
And this life will be long gone soon
If I can't spend this life with you
Well, I'll try to be there the next time
Somehow I keep finding you without effort, it's probably me not you
Keep telling me that
I ruined her life

Verses On The Walls/Ginger's Song
I don't need an excuse to have my blood mixed with foreign liquids
I think I'll be alright when you are not around anymore
Take what you want, as long as you leave a particle of light
I've bottled so many hours of sleep that weren't mine
If it's one of your games, I'm not playing it all over again
Your face covers what I should be looking at
This heart attack has taken its toll on me
Bloody hands and written verses on the light blue walls
The opportunity for rush comes and you can't deny it
Take all you're given, as long as you leave some for...
I think I'll be alright when you are not around anymore
Take what you want, as long as you leave a particle of light

Stranded/Housing
Got a free ride in your caravan
And the wind blew like a dead man's breath
And we just couldn't get along
It felt like we were heading straight towards death
I heard you promise not to look back
It's the aging, not the growth of your lungs
I only try to hark, felt your spine crack
You know we could've pressed our tongues
Ill riddling, whatever comes out
All I can sheerly promise is a damn falling
Doesn't matter what you're about
You'll always encounter my selfless loathing
Saw your unearthed mind in stark
Goddamn, I...
And the wind blew like a dead man's breath
And we just couldn't get along
It felt like we were heading straight towards death
I heard you promise not to look back
It's the aging, not the growth of your lungs
I only try to hark, felt your spine crack
You know we could've pressed our tongues
Ill riddling, whatever comes out
All I can sheerly promise is a damn falling
Doesn't matter what you're about

Stolen Lines/Kate's Song
The truth isn't held or heard
Just several voices in our heads
Telling us we're always right
And deep inside we know we're not
I'm no one to choose what to love
I hope these letters arrive on time
Cause the words I write, are all for you
And I say I'm lost, hoping you'll find me
Anytime soon
Things are getting faster now
So lets make this life a good one
If you don't want to spend it with me
I'll say it's alright
I'd accept myself if you say you would too
With so many stolen lines and hidden knives
Give me one...
Just several voices in our heads
Telling us we're always right
And deep inside we know we're not
I'm no one to choose what to love
I hope these letters arrive on time
Cause the words I write, are all for you
And I say I'm lost, hoping you'll find me
Anytime soon
Things are getting faster now
So lets make this life a good one
If you don't want to spend it with me
I'll say it's alright
I'd accept myself if you say you would too
With so many stolen lines and hidden knives
Give me one...

Casper's Song
Bared my skin and bones out in the cold
We were all lost, adrift and getting old
I saw a shard of burning hopeful light
Never thought you'd deliver me in a silver plate, to fight alone
Oh, why'd you corner me by the gears
I'm too heavy to carry for 19 years
And it's a long path to where we die
Couldn't trust your words, but then again...I couldn't trust mine
How'd you get in so far and deep?
How'd you find a way to righteously keep all things you stole from me?
It's no use if you're overlooked
All you ever really did was asking why...
We were all lost, adrift and getting old
I saw a shard of burning hopeful light
Never thought you'd deliver me in a silver plate, to fight alone
Oh, why'd you corner me by the gears
I'm too heavy to carry for 19 years
And it's a long path to where we die
Couldn't trust your words, but then again...I couldn't trust mine
How'd you get in so far and deep?
How'd you find a way to righteously keep all things you stole from me?
It's no use if you're overlooked
All you ever really did was asking why...

Landmine Lullaby
We stepped on a landmine
Forced to say your last words
Hereby a letter is forgotten
And a good deed ain't done
Bottle ends dry in smoke
A kid who won't know the world
A clueless kid, a happy kid
The gist in knowing no words
Illustrated from a bellwether
Freaked out but not done yet
Still got a few things to hide
Voices or silence, I don't know
Landmine lullabies
Soothe my blinking eyes
I plead myself wrong
This is not where I belong
I thought we were clear
That you'd not be here
Got a dry lake by my...
Forced to say your last words
Hereby a letter is forgotten
And a good deed ain't done
Bottle ends dry in smoke

Freaked out but not done yet
Still got a few things to hide

Brimstone/Dry Lips
You jump in front of me as I bite my dry lips
Calling out to holy men who can't do much
Hanging on every time you're not told the truth
I can't blame you for loving such a failure
Life throws you another distorted curve ball
Medicine stacking up in your bathroom cabinet
Lit the brimstone til the sun comes out again
Sour and bitter taste for a sweet girl's skin
Here comes a long night from a short day
I need to find a escape route, an escape route as soon as I can
We hide, hide
Hide behind a crowd
We strife, strife
Against a frozen...
