Dark Suns Burn
04:28
|
|||
Underneath a burning building
Below the rubble, fear and all
It feels like the air escaping
Colour the words of your broken soul
Trace your voice through the violent haze
Running from something I don't believe
Running from someone that couldn't be me
Colour the walls of this empty maze
This is romantic chaos
This is the dark sun's burn
and the dark sun burns
and does it burn again?
The light breeds end and the dark breeds fear
The smoke corrupts and the stone controls
Feel your smile return to my ear
Colour the dark, I can find you whole
Embrace you in the final moment
Peace found in the isolation
Peace caressed by deprivation
Colour can never be stolen again
This is romantic chaos
This is the dark sun's burn
and the dark sun burns
and does it burn again?
This is romantic chaos and the dark suns burn
(Follow I won't go alone
Without you by my side
Follow I won't go alone
I'm too scared to even try
Insecurities of the mind
Make me what I am inside)

Endless Daydream
03:06
|
|||
Remember the time we built stone walls?
Remember how we thought they'd divide our faults?
And when we realized that distance was the fruit
When we realized there was nothing I could do
What if I turn the page tear it down just to build it again
just to see your face coming out of the rain
like you did that day when everything changed
we could do anything we could be just friends
we could let it all end but could we let it end?
and would, would you be my endless daydream?
I guess this is a fixed point in time
And you know what they say about fixed points in time
But I'm happy that it happened though I'm not happy I'm alone
But I'm happy that it happened 'cause we're never really alone
What if I turn the page tear it down just to build it again
just to see your face coming out of the rain
like you did that day when everything changed
we could do anything we could be just friends
we could let it all end but could we let it end?
and would, would you be my endless daydream?

Words
01:33
|

If we ran out of words,
I'd invent enough just to tell you,
That if we ran out of time,
I'd make more so we'd always be intertwined.
So there are no more words,
None could have enough meaning.
And so I throw out my words,
I want to show you:
How much I love you.

The World is a Hologram
04:07
|
|||
Seems like no one understands
The world is a hologram
I wake up tired, I can't sleep at night
But in the end the fading monsters and the scary light inside
that keeps us quiet and content until we die
and I cry and I cry and I stop to wonder why
why everything I've ever heard is all a lie
Seems like no one understands
The world is a hologram
You're stuck inside or you're stuck outside
But hey man aren't we thankful that we got to live our lives
in anyway that we wanted until we died?
and I cry and I cry what's the big surprise
why is everything I've ever gained just for the eyes?
Why does no one understand?
The world is a hologram
But when a river makes her song is it a melody from a pond?
Does it move us along when no one knows what the words are to her song she's singing?

When the Lights Go Out
03:15
|
|||
I make believe to make me believe to make you believe that I am real
I play these games so you will play so we can play so I can feel
I wrote this song so you could sing along so we could sing along to maybe help me heal
'Cause I don't know who I am
When the lights go out
When you shut me out
I hate the thought of changing things I want to change the way you want to change me
I ran away just to run away so you wouldn't run so I could stay
And if I start to make sense, lock me up and throw away the key
From me
Nobody knows nobody cares nobody wonders or asks why
But when I'm struck imagining all the things that destroy me,
I don't know who I am when the lights go out
Yeah, I don't know who I am when the lights go out
And please, please don't shut me out

Forget
04:26
|

The only memory I have
Is just a photograph of you
So don't forget me when I'm gone
And don't forget me once you've moved on
My mind is rapidly decaying,
Or so my thoughts keep saying.
This world is only insanity
I forget who I am, or who I'm supposed to be.
I forget. I forget. I forget again.
But time moves on
and memories never die and those
memories are like a photograph
in my mind.
And I like to feel new sensations
Like the laughing and the playing
On the happy faces.
And these things I experience are like my first time
Because I can't remember when I was nine.
I forget. I forget. I forget again.
And I don't know who I am, or who you are to me
Yet this photograph keeps staring back, how pretty?
I forget. I forget. I forget again.
I will always be here.
I can't watch you fade away.

River
03:32

There are people in your life you never see
And these people all want to be me
There are people who are smarter than me
I keep them in a cellar underground
There's a vending machine
And it won't stop talking to me
I tried to keep it quiet, I tried to make it see
But it makes an evil sound
There are people in the forest
And they're all watching me
I tried to climb a mountain, I tried to swim a sea
But it just defeated me
I'm afraid of me, afraid I'll be, everything I see
Is it over?
I'm afraid of me, afraid I'll be, everything I see
Is it over?
I'm afraid of me, afraid I'll be, everything I see
Please be over.
Stop, look, there it goes again
the world is changing outside of my head
and everything I ever knew
and all my fears run away from you
and the burning aching constant nausea
of looking out the window and being so far from you
Because it's you, sweetie it's you,
Hello, hello, I miss you
And my world is divided into pieces it's bitter
And I'm left all alone, all alone here to shiver
And everything I ever wanted to give her
Flows out of me like an endless river
Today I found a skeleton
Buried in the ground outside of my house
I dug it up and glued the pieces together
Hoping for a dinosaur

Seven Days After
03:05
|
|||
The view from our room reminds me of us and how small we really are
When viewed from above the twenty high stories create a new type of art
All spattered and speckled and aligned with such grace
Or perhaps with no forethought at all
The frightening heights can deceive our small eyes
Make us think we're too high in the sky
The blue smiling sky can heal us in time
Keep us bright and alert and alive
Viewed from our balcony the buildings and trees effortlessly lie in their place
And the song that's inside us releases our pain in a delicate form of embrace
Seven days after the view soaks my eyes and I see our future in sight
Like the beautiful trees and birds and cities our love is intense and alive
The frightening heights can deceive our small eyes
Make us think we're too high in the sky
The blue smiling sky can heal us in time
Keep us bright and alert and alive
Sometimes when tears drop
From the beautiful heights
I'm not broken
It's just sad it can get cold
This far away and so high.

Of the Storm
05:31
|

Come beautiful storm
Throw the windows wide and topple the skies
But I can't let you inside
'cause I'm afraid of being hurt
I guess I'll never know why you're so appealing
when you can destroy
I won't wait for silence, I won't whisper down the phone
I won't wait for silence, for you I can and will be strong
I won't wait for silence, I will be there when you fall
I won't wait for silence, I'll hold your hand now you stand tall
Like a calming wind that
Blows me over and into your arms
Like a falling rain that
Washes me over and through my heart
and then you take my wrist and
You write three words
that are of the storm
I won't wait for silence, I won't whisper down the phone
I won't wait for silence, for you I can and will be strong
I won't wait for silence, I will be there when you fall
I won't wait for silence, I'll hold your hand now you stand tall
I won't wait for silence, I won't whisper down the phone
I won't wait for silence, for you I can and will be strong
I won't wait for silence, I will be there when you fall

Letters

"Going home for the first time in weeks
isn't it strange when home seems like a foreign place
it's no wonder I feel empty
But everything feels so different in this light
the weight of the sky is not a burden
but a comfort"
You said to me in a letter
Leaving you for the first time in years
so far away
through all time you were with me
you gave me everything
and now I feel so different in this place
without you here and yet you're still my comfort
Well sweetie I will write to you every day
use all the ink in the pens and throw them away and
make you know you're different and special to me
like when we'd sing Pink Rabbits and 17
or when we'd sit in my room till long after dark
and listen to Matt sing that he should live in salt
or when we held each other close and we held each other tight
and I kissed you then, yeah I kissed you goodnight
or the times when we would play a thirteen-minute song and
sing something about running and running 'round the sun
it was a Universal feeling we shared each night
like a Blur moving fast or Explosions in the Sky
And to my ephemeral surprise
No one speaks so no one lies
And as I gaze upon the beautiful look in your eyes
Does anybody know the name of the thing keeping me alive?
I can hardly stand the silence
I'm falling through the sky like a failing pilot
The control lights flash and the windows fog
I come crashing down to my favorite song
and when I awake I realize that I'm wrong
I've never been one to pick a favorite song
so the tune in my head wasn't music at all
it was the colours in your voice keeping me strong
"Axiomatic secrets assumed and surmised
Our escape became circumvention designing
fabrications guaranteed not to betray us
So be it if they overlook our side
we're just protecting our hearts from their world
But the truth to me will always be that we remain inseparable"
And I'd do it all again
'cause in the end
You were worth the memory
