Never Know
03:07
|

There’s no love here and days are blue and sterile green
there’s no love here and everything you hide is seen
everything you hide is
If I hid from the sun and chased darkness round
around the world
I’d never know that you were gone
I’d never know that you were gone
I’d never know that you were

I Abort
04:23
|
|||
I’m drowning from my own attempt to stay afloat
making a pretty slipknot with my safety rope
I’m aching from my own twisted fidelity
tightening over everything that’s good in me
you think your skin is safe but you hate yourself in other ways
you think I don’t know what you don’t want me to hear
Come back at a time when gnawing on my knife has passed
what will I do when I hurt you
I don’t know if I could
Your choking on my throwaways
I’m laughing at your razor blades
breaking in my mouth
Looks like you’ve taken your life
well what’s next on the list
hairpins and rose cutlery
Come back at a time when gnawing on my knife has passed
what will I do when I hurt you
I don’t know if I could
Being kicked from inside
like a horse trying to hide
in my gut there’s not room
for you both I abort
push you out, stay afloat
go without, stay afloat
I abort I abort I abort I abort I abort

Fading Softly
04:23
|

I should write more
yes you should write more
because you’re fading softly
a little light going out
You should write more
yes I should write more
because I’m fading softly
a little light going out
It’s where they shackle horses
you know the wild ones, well they were all wild
yes they were all wild once
They shackle them with ropes
and bricks around their ankles
they’re fading softly
they’re little lights going out, going out
Shamie mansions is where they shackle horses
you know the wild ones
well they were all wild
yes they were all wild once
They shackle them with ropes
and bricks around their ankles
they’re fading softly
they’re little lights going out, going out

Demon In The Wheels
04:43
|
|||
There is nothing you feel nothing
You took too much of the way I’m feeling
Just a demon in the wheels, the wheels
I push the right pedals
And I gave you my care
I look to the passenger seat and you’re not there
So what’s in this for me? For me
There is nothing you feel nothing
You took too much of the way I’m feeling
Just a demon in the wheels, the wheels
I’d give up this let down
I’d tell you to leave me
But I get the feeling you’re in the machinery
Disappointments slowly paced, finely spaced
Cause there is nothing you feel nothing
You took too much of the way I’m feeling
Just a demon in the wheels , the wheels
This car won’t stop
I drive to fast
The breaks don’t work
The pain just lasts
My thirst won’t stop
I drink too much
My belly hurts
Too sore to touch
This car won’t stop
I drive to fast
The breaks don’t work
The pain just lasts
Cause there is nothing you feel nothing
You took too much of the way I’m feeling

Feeling
03:49
|
|||
I’ve got a feeling I’ve made you mad again
been beating on your brain
know you wanted me to stop
But I was so so sure
I could make you come around
before the sun came up
and who if not me
could make you see
Don’t scream, don’t shout, don’t be mad with me again
and if you don’t, promise I wont talk to you again
Now I’m broken into pieces
crashing now in circles
and something so important
is here with me no more
So believe I’ll be alright
survive alone at night
don’t you wonder where I’ll be
always got this piece of me
Don’t call, don’t cry, don’t be hanging round no more
and if you don’t, promise I wont love you anymore
I’ve got a feeling
this time you’re not coming back

I Talk To God
04:11
|
|||
I talk to god in the dark when I’m all on my own
so tell me I’m wrong cause I talk to god
do you think he can hear me
I’m not afraid of Jesus Christ
I’m not a slave to the cross that I wear
I know I offend the angel in you
but I think that god belongs everywhere
I talk to god when you’re pressing against my insides
so tell me I’m wrong cause I talk to god
do you think he can see me
I’m not afraid of Jesus Christ
I’m not a slave to the cross that I wear
I know I offend the angel in you
but I think that god belongs everywhere
I talk to god when you think I’m just harming myself
so tell me I’m wrong cause I talk to god
do you think he can see this
I talk to god
so tell me I’m wrong
I talk to god
is anybody listening to me
is anybody listening to me
is anybody listening to me
is anybody listening to me

Lullaby
05:18

Look at my skin my poor skin
old enough already
now I make it worse
old enough already
Even when I smile
I feel my skin crying to be whole again
Look at your skin your poor skin
works hard enough already now you make it worse
works hard enough already
I won’t cry
I’ll be strong I promise
Look at your skin your poor skin
works hard enough already now you make it worse
works hard enough already
I won’t cry
I’ll be strong I promise
Even when you smile
I see your skin crying to be whole again
Look at your skin your poor skin
puts up an honest fight and now
you make it victim to yourself
puts up an honest fight
I won’t cry
I’ll be strong I promise
this is not the way I wanted it to be
Even when you smile
I see your skin crying to be whole again

Menace
02:27
|

Like MacCaigs horse
but you stamp from the inside
and you burn like shivering coals in my mind
But when you speak it’s sticky dew
grassy and cool
and when you breath vanilla ice-cream
icy and pure
Like a car crash
you’re exciting
dangerous to touch
But when you speak it’s sticky dew
grassy and cool
and when you breath vanilla ice-cream
icy and pure
Electricity sits inside you waiting to fuse

Body Bag
03:07
|

I come to your room you let me inside
come let it slide and kneel by my side
He sighs like a girl but he’s in control
just let me believe I’ll get out alive
So deep in this mess
so sick I confess
to all the evil thoughts I admitted to you
I stagger a breath I lost your address
just one more clue you’re someone I knew
So deep in this mess
so sick I confess
to all the evil thoughts I admitted to you
I stagger a breath
I stagger a breath

Dark Nevada
04:51
|

So far away
so far from home
a strangers land
I’m free to roam
I see frost on the windows
like tiny salty flowers
the desert dries to dust
in between the showers
So far away
so far from home
a strangers land
I’m free to roam
I see sand on the white lines
shift as it’s blown
I cruise on the right side
with hours to go
So far away
so far from home
a strangers land
I’m free to roam
Darkness makes me fear the dawn
the stars hollow empty forms
vibrating desperation
in between the storms
So far away
so far from home
a strangers land
I’m free to roam

Envy
05:06
|

Speak to me of things that interest only me
speak to me of things like names that I should use
speak to me of things that I want
the only thing we don’t
speak to me again
Speak to me of books that I should read
speak to me and call me by a secret name
speak to me of thirst and speak to me of greed
I don’t want more than this
speak to me again
I think I’m pulling through the wires
I think I hear you in my sleep
I think we talk when no one hears
but you’re far too quiet in my head
Speak to me of thirst and speak to me of greed
I don’t want more than this
speak to me again
Speak to me
I want much more than this
I want much more than this
speak to me of things that interest only me
speak to me of things like names I should
speak to me of thirst the only thing we don’t
I want much more than this

Death & Sequins
04:41
|
|||
Death and sequins becomes you
the lights diminish around you
the life breaks from your side and leaves you still and cold
but death and sequins becomes you
You’ll never see things the way that I see them
how they appear to me
they’ll never pierce through your despair and make you breathless no
you’ll never feel the world turn so fast that sickness makes you laugh
so here’s the deal tell me how does it feel, how does it feel
Death and sequins becomes her
calm and colder than ether
the life breaks from the room but life was never there
and death and sequins becomes you
You’ll never feel the excitement of living a colour makes you cry
you’ll never feel your breathing so slow you lose the will to try
you wont grow so cold your heart might stop beating if you dare close your eyes
so here’s the deal how does it feel, how does it feel
Death and sequins becomes you
forget the nights crying for you
your heart breaks past the point of no return
and death and sequins becomes you
your heart breaks past the point of no return
and death and sequins becomes you
