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

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

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 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
11.
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 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
