Family Of Destruction 03:40
lyrics
buy track
There is a dark hallway Crawl through it Find me on the other side And I'll keep you safe and warm You have no idea About what will happen Gravity will go away And we'll all fly into the sky The days of your life And does it matter anymore? Is there anything else to believe in? A family of destruction Secret meadows Up the hill from an abandoned house Justify the right and wrong The living and the dead Keep it real, keep it sacred Let it flow, we can make it A picture postcard from years ago But you don't remember who it came from There is a family in that hall My name is printed clearly On the frivolous walls of Hell But you'll never see it Unless you look even harder than before

The Light 03:09
lyrics

The tears in your eyes Blue like the falling rain You think it's such a surprise That you're falling down in pain Thunder strikes through your veins An atom bomb watch like a clock Oh, but when will it stop? Will it ever stop? There's the light Hanging over you in the day Where did it go? We've been thrown into the night Honeydew melon on the sink Who is this song really about? Are you gonna count me out This time?

Continental Cigarette 03:14
lyrics
buy track
In silent hearts Our virtue flees Like an apple red film On the wings of honeybees As an evening of sparks Lights up meadows of green astrolabes Content with an image Fleeting like a person who cannot be saved A cold winter's day In the spring of January Understood in a language That falls upon you like rain You've taken in vain This continental cigarette Eats away a lost life That we all try to feign Worried and missing I see days pass like rainbows When the moon and stars Are kissing The peach sunrise In the way of something else In the marching of a fire-red sky Bottle up your days and drink them all the time

Rebel 03:53
lyrics

Time exists in the air You say "where do we go from here?" Well, I couldn't tell you Things are always changing Talk, talk, talk is all you do Walking down the lane like Curly Sue Come on, pretty baby, 'cause here I am You know I don't even give a damn Somewhere is an answer Somewhere is a clue Somewhere is a landslide And it all slides back to you Rebel against your parents Rebel against your car Retreat to a faraway home But it won't get you that far

Lonesome 02:08
lyrics
buy track
A bedrock of mistakes Can't forget all the times The screen in front of me Kept on telling me lies Excuse me, moon Have you got something to say? This is the last song And it's the end of the line for you Who knew you had the power? To win me over And break me down And tear me in The lonesome moonlight Shines through the windowpane There's only one solitary tear I see In your eye But where is the meaning?

Black Cat 03:40
lyrics
buy track
White swan floats Keep in mind they're aerodynamically sound People keep saying they're on little boats Underneath that water Black cat shrieks At the sight of another mouse Chasing the tail around the table More than anyone should allow Blue water keeps you away 'Cause baby, you know there are sharks in there And you wouldn't want to mess up your hair When the wind sways Oh, how the days go fast Time is no object When it's Friday the thirteenth And your life is just around the corner from being found

Snapshot 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Open your eyes And see the day It won't be here for long Open your mind And take a chance You've got nothing to lose This time I'm changing For good See it my way Keep it in your corner Won't stay here for my song A snapshot in France You and I will dance Till the end of time This time I'm changing For the best This time I'm changing For the rest This time I'm changing For the crest of the moon This time For you

All Nighter 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Nights pass fast When you aren't asleep Kills you inside That nobody knows The secret in life Thrown away like garbage Forgotten and gone 'Cause nobody cares anymore All nighter Breaks from your arms Cries for forgiveness Won't come around here again Simply far too long This has been going on Can't see you there Can't see you anymore Just trapped In a maze of memories A train unstoppable A mind retractable Funny you think that way It isn't even about you

Filament - Psychedelic Dream 04:56
lyrics
buy track
Streetside corner Club bouncing 'til twilight Think you've seen everything Into the darkest night Shine like a lightbulb And light up my mind I’ve seen your face On a million different poster Like swimming in an ocean And not knowing where you're going Like a 10:00 train Without having a destination Shine like the sun up in the sky And light up our lives You've seen my face and I've seen yours On a trillion different filaments Catch my eye In the mind of another man I’ve got a long way to go To catch up to you And when it doesn't go your way You think it's all my fault Like a postcard with no address Like a life without a purpose You'll be a filament forever

Dive 05:07
lyrics
buy track
Simmering like a pot on the stove Who said I'll never love you again? Forever is just a day away Just count from one to ten I'm your toy, just leave me here Alone in a vagueness of fog Turn me on and let me go Such a long way to run Dive Into the water Dive I'll be here when you've gone The sun reflects off your crystal eyes Make a scene without your camera Touch a place nobody has ever seen ‘Cause it's hiding in a linoleum forest (CHORUS) Get a clue and realize That no one is missing you Lost and gone in a black hole Whoever knew, whoever knew?
