1. Cebe and Me
Fire Works
But Trust is broken
Concrete Crushes
And near Death brushes
‘Til the end of the day
‘Til the end of the life
‘Til the end of the world
‘Til the end of the night
You will put flowers
Over the Earth where I sleep
And know in your heart
I was not meant to keep
War makes everything feel closer
You cried wolf and I showed up
2. Love Comes Close
Everything changing will unchange again
Sun sheds the light as the life sheds the skin
You kiss your wish to the heart of the well
The secrets you sleep with will not break the spell
Come on lets go home
Buried in your room
Sing a song of death
‘Til there’s no one left
Love comes close
But chooses to spare me
Death comes close
But ceases to take me
I want to twist the knife a bit deeper
To siphon the love from the hearts I believed in
Look outside
World is exploding
Stay inside
So never knowing
Taking cover
With each other
Sleeping off a century of hope
Every day’s changing to remain the same
Silhouettes shy as the rain runs the drain
Every day’s decay debases the dream
The ghosts that will haunt you are not what they seem
Still you say your deaf
To depravity
But that can’t be true
‘Cause I know you can hear me
3. Life Magazine
I dig myself
To the center of the earth
And then there was a hole
I crawl back
And put a knock upon your door
But there was no one home
I’m not going back
I climb clouds
To the bluest of the sky
And all I saw was air
I rain my love
To the heads that breathe below
But none of them care
I’m not going back
4. The Laurels of Erotomania
I’m going to put you in the hospital
People pay attention to me
I don’t know why
You will learn to love me
I don’t know why
We will make history
I don’t know why
People pay attention to me
People, pay attention to me
5. Heaven Was Full
Is this the voice you’ve been calling
Decorated in despair
Is this the pace you’ve been crawling
Celebrated without care
Of all the girls tying ropes to tall trees
I was bored so I hung there with you
Why’d you go and candycoat me
And then treat me like a cavity
While bigger drills dig holes through me
Of all the boys smashing heads in the city
Heaven was full so i went down with you
I will pity you ’til your pretty
What’s a love without some struggle
You’ll rest while I stitch your knuckles
Of all the corners you’ve been cutting your teeth again on my skin
I don’t know when the beginning ends or when the end begins
Begin
Be damned
Again
6. The Trees Grew Emotions and Died
I
Buried
Seeded
Lies
And
So
The
Trees
Grew
Emotions
And
Died
And
Now
You
Can’t
Breathe
Goodbye
Oh
Oh
7. Hello Rats
Hello rats nest,
Looking for an old friend?
Sip it hard when you cant afford the medicine
You’re in bed with a future ex-girlfriend
Telling lies about emotions or something
Cosmic sounds from the headphone dead phone
Comet falls from the bomb filled sky
I can’t compete with the air I’m breathing
Or the people who need me to fail for them
8. Youth and Lust
Dethroning the dream
Of neon nights in rain
I stripped from the skin
But kept it in
Same remains the same
Cold sheets and mattress stains
There’s no telling you
To want me too
You miss the disco lights
Its all pleather now
A synthetic world without end
Sheds a tear of plastic deception
The last dance
With the rain
On the nod
On the train
Hunting the haunted with shame
I will remember your name
I had hoped my love alone could outlive my past
I had hoped to thread the black hole with no strings attached
Thorn to finger again
A head in a strange hand
I prayed for some truth
‘Til my face turned blue
To fill the void between
Your youth and lust
You’ll cross the bridge between
My knives and trust
You miss the neon lights
Its all plastic now
A sympathetic world without end
Hums a hymn of misdirection
9. I.C.D.K.
I don’t know why
I keep my nose
In the dead dirt
Just because I
Stepped on a rake once
Trying to smell
The infinite field of sunflower
10. Double Lives in Single Beds
Come inside where hell can reach you
Lift the spell, veil, from your head
All the things that I could teach you
Double lives in single beds
Come on, you said, I’m tired of waiting
Patience is so frustrating when
Everything you thought you wanted
Brings you closer to the end
Everything’s so complicated
Underminded Overstated
A Tree of life with broken branches
Changing Choices
Hanging Chances
11. Theme From Tomorrowland
The past becomes the future days
I feel an affinity with you
The future comes when the past decays
I feel at eternity with you
I don’t know where I’m coming from
I don’t care if I never ever return
I don’t know where I’m going to
I don’t care if I never ever get there
12. Now That I’m In The Future
Help me honey ’cause I can’t see
Love’s lungs are blowing tear gas at me
Ambulance sirens are screaming my name
And I’m all hopped up on yesterday
London, Paris, Why won’t you have me?
My tongue’s in the air
My head’s on your knees
I know you’re married
Yeah I know your pain
Your finger’s been strangled
By a cheap promise ring
I’m in a shadow of doubt
With my knife pulled out
At your wedding reception
I started drinking
To say all the things
That I had been thinking
There’s too many songs
And nothing to dance to
The future is putrid
I’m useless without you
Jesus and Mary held a seance for me
But I wasn’t dead, I was just in Philly
Now I’m on the cover of a magazine
With my finger on the trigger of everything
I read the bible and I understand
I was bored by Heaven and the Holy Land
13. Our Tears Help The Flowers Grow
I’m not enough
I’m not in love
It’s all lies
It’s only lies
It’s only life
You left me
To water
Dying flowers
With my tears
14. Heaven’s Gate
There’s no key to unlock me
The door won’t open no more
It’s too late to enter Heaven’s Gate
