01 The Greatest Light Is the Greatest Shade

A glass
A view
A mirror
Which one
Distracts
Like open windows
In the gusts

A calm day will come
A calm day will come

This dream is
This dream is
This dream is
In a telescope now
This dream is
This dream is

Fever
In bedtime covers
Go unknown
This fright
It grows
And misses
Sinks and floats

A calm day will come
My calm day will

This dream is
This dream is
This dream is (over)
In a telescope now
This dream is (over)
This dream is

A calm day will come

Fever
In bedtime covers
Go unknown

'til two eyes out
Of the darkness
Bring hope close

This childish
Heart won't
Wait
It dances
Keeps me awake
To think on
To think on
You're the greatest light
The greatest shade
It means that
I can be
Happy for you
Happy for you
Happy for you
Happy for you
Happy for you
Happy for you
Happy for you
Happy for you...


02 Cradle

I can see he says what he means
I can't say what he means when he says that
I'll pretend a pretty pretend
When all I wanna see is the end of this

I can see he says what he means
We'll deal him sticks and stones and apologies
I wish
Oh, I wish it was through

Scrape the skies
Get up off your knees
Just lift the marks
And new-found releases
I'll pretend a pretty pretend
When all I wanna see is the end of this

I wish
I wish
I wish the cobwebs would cover me
Cover me
Cover me

My vicious tongue
Cradles just one


03 Austere

See the medal reverse
This hope is not lost
There's mischief to turn
Your ship to send off

Barbed wits and gowns
They'll ransack this town
I'd rescue you now
But in velvet you'll drown
And dance again

Oh Austere, lay by my side
You've been left here but you'll make no sound
Hey, last word, don't let me down
You're just another unfinished story now


04 While the Flies

They took you on they thought they made you feel safe
I watched it all I'll never be the same again
All this all we seem the same
They left you falling and no one remembers your name
And now they're gone and the flies they record you die
All this all we seem the same

I dig you in I tried to pull you away
I can't forget that these arms they tried in vain

I'll take you with me as I'm falling inside
I'll take you with me as I'm falling inside
I fall apart but it ever beckons
I'll take you with me as I'm falling inside
I'll take you with me as I'm falling inside
I fall apart but it ever beckons

I'll take to throwing all the pennies I stole
I'll throw them well and get a wish now it's time for all
For pinching thumbs to help revive me
These pinching thumbs will lift you from the enemy
And when the dust settles and we raise once more

I'll take you with me as I'm falling inside
I'll take you with me as I'm falling inside
I fall apart but it ever beckons
I'll take you with me as I'm falling inside
I'll take you with me as I'm falling inside
I fall apart but it ever beckons

There's a shape in the spotlight
It's a three part horn tip
That lets the drips in your eyes turn to walls and the
The thoughts rise in heat of the sight they see your

(It will spill while you die)?
(It will spill when you can lie down)?
(It's fallen apart baby)?
It will spill while you die)?
(It will spill when you can lie down)?
(The sun is ... down)?

I dig you in I tried to pull you away
Another one and the flies they record you die


05 Whirring

This much delight
Fills columns to new heights

All these things about me you never can tell

Colors burn bright
They burn pictures so bright

All these things about me you never can tell
Make me sleep so badly visible friend

Turn the dial on my words
I can feel them fall short
Turn the dial try my love, try my love
Wash these hands
Turn the dial on my words

Love can't stay here

These steps shadow
Life's will gone shallow

All these things about me you never can tell
Make me sleep so badly visible friend
All these things about me you never can tell
Make me sleep so badly visible friend
Make me sleep so badly visible friend

Turn the dial on my words
I can feel them fall short
Turn the dial shine the light, shine the light
Watch these hands move apart
Turn the dial on my words

Love can't stay here


06 9669

Is that the long
Is that the long goodbye?
That's just the one
That's just the one you'll find
Cut from the waste, You cut from the weak side
It goes to waste
It goes to waste
You make the call
So make the call shorter
You break the spell
I'll make the fall harder

ah, ah, ah, ahh, ah, ah

This time
It's over
Unless I
Under miss my
nothing miss my
number

Step out the light
Step out and re-shape me
Here comes the white
Here comes the big empty
If we're meant to part
We're meant to part sweeter
Make some swells
and slips some cut deeper
We don't ride
We don't ride to sunset
We just ride until our last breath

ah, ah, ah, ahh, ah, ah

This time
It's over
Unless I
Under miss my
Nothing miss my
Number

9669
You're on my mind
9669
You're on my mind


07 The Last Drop

Smile in this space, It's all loud
loud as the light can be made
Smile in this space, It's all loud
loud as the light can be made

How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?

Under the bed, these boxes
wait for the spring, to bring me near
it makes me see, it's all wrong
let's have some time while you're healing


How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?

It's clear
I've squeezed
The Last Drop
The Last Drop
The Last Drop
The Last Drop

pieces come together, pull the mist like needles
fighting for the leap when we can rise like spirals


How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?
How come it's all around me?


08 Ostrich

This is better
Than simply strolling imagine how 30 years
This is better, this is better, you're just a memory now
That can move along
Move along
You're not St. Martha my blood and water
Every pause rushes on, we'll marry the sea,
I won't let this go wrong
It's time to believe me
The iron function holds no doors open,
El Draque and his plans will burst like rings on a pond
I guess it's loneliness, your childhood loneliness
You can't climb out the window
Now they're too hurt inside
You fucking ostrich fuck
I guess it's loneliness, your childhood loneliness, goodbye
And decide it's ahead or behind
