1. Courage
++++++++++
Contrary to the matter
Who you are, you are not
Come with me, Ill show you Saturn
Planets dont quite align
You should try not to be so courageous
I never said you were a mistake at all
You got it all wrong, youre misunderstanding
Traveled far for a lover
Who she was she was not
But honestly it dont matter
Aliens ain't Farmers
You should try not to be so courageous
I never said you were a mistake at all
You got it all wrong, youre misunderstanding
You should try not to be so courageous
These dismal moods have become contagious
You should try not to be so courageous
I never said you were a mistake at all
You got it all wrong, youre misunderstanding
2. Movies
+++++++++
At slow speed we all seem focused
In motion we seem wrong
In summer we can taste the rain
I want you to be free
Dont worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene
Two can play this game
We both want power
In winter we can taste the pain
In our short years, we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away
I want you to be free
Dont worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene
You wont cry, I wont scream
In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away
And if we make a little space
A science fiction showcase
In our short film, a love disgrace
Dream a scene to brighten face
In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad, just to throw it away
I want you to be free
Dont worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene
3. Flesh and Bone
+++++++++++++++++
This moisture slides from my eyes
It glistens, it glistens
Theres nowhere left to go now
If you teach me, Ill listen
A favorite time for mistakes
In salt lakes, we all shake
Consider me your apprentice
Repentant, yet hesitant
Please show me a sign
Come inside, kneel
Remember who built your home
I built you flesh and bone
This image comes from somewhere
Who is it? Spiritual visit
Coincidence is one thing
Overwhelming, immaculate timing
Everything we had is gone
Something new has come up strong now
I feel that I belong
And I trust you, I love you
Please show me a sign
Come inside, kneel
Remember what you hear
And Ill be still right here
Come inside, kneel
Remember who built your home
I built you flesh and bone
And Im torn between halos, demons
All these words with cryptic meanings
Separate seasons
All these issues and mixed up feelings
And I have to choose
Everything we had is gone
Something new must come up strong now
I feel that I belong
And I trust you and I love you
Please show me a sign
Come inside, kneel
Remember what you hear
And Ill be still right here
Come inside, kneel
Remember who built your home
I built you flesh and bone
Come inside, look around
Ill lift off the ground
I snapped your ribs made a lover
So you could share each other
Come inside, kneel
Remember
4. Whisper
++++++++++
Its my arms that wrap you up nice
Its my arms, its my arms baby
Small rooms with record exec types
Whisper away my future lately
Ill introduce you to producers
Ill write your songs and make them way damn shorter
Im so confused
This industry has made me cold
I trusted you to make me shine bright
This is almost getting old
Shock me with fear its taking longer
Blood sweat and years will make me way damn stronger
Its my words that fail to give insight
I blame you, blame me baby
Im so confused
This industry has made me cold
I trusted you to make me shine bright
This is almost getting old
It suits me just fine
This is the package Im sending
These are the clothes that Im wearing
These are the words that Im saying
These are the notes that theyre playing
Ill introduce you to producers
Ill write your songs and make them way damn shorter
Im so confused
This industry has made me cold
I trusted you to make me shine bright
This is almost getting old
And it suits me just fine
5. Summer
+++++++++
So you finally fessed up to her
All the lies you said
Now you kindly kiss up to her
But the feelings dead
Several days have passed now
Darker than any damn cloud now
Liquid sunshine falls down
Harder than all the damn hounds
Tried to give you summer, but Im winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard
So you always did what you wanted
We will be on our own
I will soon let you go now
Things will be all right
Several weeks have passed now
Grayer than any gray cloud
Several weeks have passed now
And its so hard
Tried to give you summer, but Im winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard
And its so hard to get out of bed
Shes impossible to get out of your head
Tried to give you summer, but Im winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard
6. Sticks and Stones
++++++++++++++++++++
I liked you
You showed me
These calls must continue
Time is collapsing in my head
I built all the walls you cant come in
You were the one that called me last
I highly doubt this thing will last
Sticks and stones, they hurt
When you shoot them through the phone
And you dragged my name through dirt
And it hurts to be left here all alone
Elegant thoughts I will not share
My symphonic silence I hope you can bear it baby
I liked you
You showed me
Exactly who I dont wanna be
Sticks and stones, they hurt
When you shoot them through the phone
And you dragged my name through dirt
And it hurts to be left here all alone
Ill always look for you
Ill always look for you
No stone was left unturned
You were the one that called me last
I highly doubt this thing will last
Cause you were the one that messed up
Sticks and stones, they hurt
When you shoot them through the phone
And you dragged my name through dirt
And it hurts to be left here all alone
Sticks and stones get shot through the telephone
With instant results, were both left alone
7. Attitude
+++++++++++
Maybe I act on confused behavior
Maybe waves crash like semi trailer
Maybe Ill spend my off time without you
It seems like we need our own space
And all the time I wasted away
I dont feel good unless you stay
And all the times I chased you away
Simply to catch back up with
Your solitude is welcome
Your attitude is welcome
All you see is red lights behind me
Maybe this isnt what you wanted baby
I dont blame you falling backwards
No ones ever quite confused you this way
And all this time we wasted away
We dont feel good unless were gray
And all the times I chased you away
I simply dont feel good
Your solitude is welcome
Your attitude is welcome
All this time, we heard alarms
Come to find, we fell apart
This whole thing has crashed down, crashed down
All this time, we heard alarms
Your solitude is welcome
Your attitude is welcome
You are welcome
8. Stranded
+++++++++++
Your waves come crashing down
Like a semi-auto trailer
I dive so deep in the sea
To avoid killer whales
A perfect moment here and gone
It has sailed
Ill use a hammerhead to drive
Rusty nail inside
Im feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me
Im feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me
Imagine if our world was blue and weightless
I never meant to do wrong to you
Youre my starfish
You moan a tone so low beyond me
A telepathic sub-sonic frequency
I need a little air for emergency
You have to understand this urgency
Im feeling the sea beneath me, beneath you
White sand beneath my feet
No brain between my ears
Im feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me
I know that if I had one
Id spare us both these years
Im feeling the sea beneath me, beneath you
White sand beneath my feet
No brain between my ears
Im feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me
I know that if I had one
Id spare us both these years
A sea anemone, youre my enemy
9. Wish
+++++++
Proud, proud is to hear it all yeah yeah
Proud ah proud, proud is to watch us fall yeah yeah
Make a wish, make a succotash wish
You live the pompous life
Throw kisses all the time
Make wishes dont break mine
Cold fire use to inspire all not now
These are tired, maybe theyll find their niche
Or resort to wish
Make a wish, make a succotash wish
You live the pompous life
Throw kisses all the time
Make wishes dont break mine
Dont be low, you better watch the road
Dont be low, you got the strength and the balls
Chimes use to break my wish
Backwont you bring him back? Not now
Dont be low, you better watch the road
Dont be low, you got the strength and the balls
Chimes use to break my wish
10. Calico
++++++++++
So make it real
Just make it real
Thats not a reason to fire me
That aint no real reason
Its funny things cheapen when we disagree
If things got any worse then cheap would turn free
Calico cats and calico dreams
That aint too real
Just make it real
Feel all the seasons flood through you and me
And see what trouble shes in
But thats not a reason to fire me
That aint no real reason
Calico cats and calico dreams
That aint too real
Just make it real
Collisions hurt and abrasions bleed
Its hard to deal when all you do is feel
Campfires swell into monstrous things
That summer heat thats winter deep
And all your wild winds
They couldnt stop me from flying
Calico cats and calico dreams
That aint too real
Just make it real
Collisions hurt and abrasions bleed
Its hard to deal when all you do is feel
Just make it real
11. Death Day
+++++++++++++
I slowly shoot these words like weapons
And go insane
I watch you drive your stupid car
You go away
You never were one to use caution
And you're gonna pay
You know Id love to see it happen
I always tried to keep you near me
Without the pain
I love to tie us into knots
We slipped away
I tried to captivate you, on that evening
He was leaving, with the girl Id love to kill
Happy Death day to you baby
I know youre flying in the blue now
Well be together real soon now baby, dont you worry
Papas got a brand new body bag for you
Cable cars run through my mind
Reminiscent Bay
I think of north on Valentine
I wish you'd stay
You never were one to use caution
It slipped away
I somehow knew this would happen
Happy Death day to you baby
I know youre flying in the blue now
Well be together real soon now baby, dont you worry
Papas got a brand new body bag for you
And I got a fresh new kind of attitude
I slowly shoot these words like weapons
And go insane
I watch you drive your stupid car
You go away
You never were, you never were
You know Id love to see it happen
Happy Death day to you baby
I know youre flying in the blue now
Well be together real soon now baby, dont you worry
Papas got a brand new body bag for you
And he aint ever ever coming back to you
12. Smooth Criminal
+++++++++++++++++++
As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She was sitting at the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom
Annie, are you OK

Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK

It was your doom
Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Youve been hit by
Youve been struck by
A smooth criminal
So they came into the outway
It was Sunday
What a black day
I could feel your salutation
Sounding heartbeats
Intimidations
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie

13. Universe
++++++++++++
We should have waited
We should have waited
We love to break the season
And youre the reason
We use to shake the beehive
To relax and rewind
See why you cry, see why you save
Your regimen is gonna die
See what you know
Lets see what you throw
Your regimen
Waiting? So
Waiting? I know
We love to break the season
And youre the reason
We use to shake the beehive
To relax and rewind
See why you came, see why you go
Your regiment is oh too slow
See why you cry, get sting from the hive
Your regimen
Waiting? So
Waiting? I know
We love to break the season
And youre the reason
We use to shake the beehive
To relax and rewind
See! And we dont mind
Are you sane? Are you ashamed?
We love to break the season
And youre the reason
We use to shake the beehive
To relax and rewind
14. Orange Appeal
+++++++++++++++++
Half the rude you brought once has cold
We send with friends
All the evil actions worked my mood on you
As the energy comes from the waves at cliffs
Moan miss
We look for leaves on the family tree
Ahthee wont sing
Half the rude you brought once has cold
We send with friends
Compare an apple to an orange like in the
Dream we seen
As the energy come from the waves at Trussels
And all this hearty fruit has made my muscles grow to what you see
Half the rude you brought once has cold
We send with friends
Will you just bend
Apples and oranges
Back
