Faces gone After the bomb Radium She said Days are long Let's beat it into 'em After it's done See the sun drop down behind the blue curtain Almost too far to be certain Takes without asking and breaks without bending So hungry and ready for swarming One step back and two below Just trying to pretend to know All broken down and scattered around A life lived too comfortable She eats up all our worries A dance with no apology I won’t know what to do if I can’t destroy you Blink and then swallow you Spit you up and hollow you I won’t be the one that you claw when you're jaded My fist won’t stop shaking I won’t be left waiting See the black wind blow, its wings are expanding Over our misunderstanding Rituals of mother nature have crept upon us Her scream as we tear up the surface One step back and two below Just trying to pretend to know All broken down and scattered around A life lived too comfortable She eats up all our worries A dance with no apology I won’t know what to do if I can’t destroy you Blink and then swallow you Spit you up and hollow you I won’t be the one that you claw when you're jaded My fist won’t stop shaking I won’t be left waiting

What did you say to them What kind of threats did you formulate A fistful of dreadful days And your reach has been cut short and thrown away Danita you’ve lost control of your limbs and they’re speaking out The hallway’s are echoing your cloud Running about you have your tongue tied to your feet and now What you have said has knocked you down Knocked you down You came here to find a home And reject the past that won't let you go At first you started well Then your dark cloud began to swell And you said what the hell

Took twenty years for me to say Guess I'm ok Now that my head is out of the rain Because I'm safe I'm second guessing Something's missing What do I do without this pain Nothin like losing it all No thrill like leaving it all Hold me tight so I can never run away Hold me like I never had a breath to take I spent some time in murky tides This lake was black I've got no will to make it back Now there's a voice inside my head Says there's too much at stake But I want to gaze into the lake Nothin like losing it all Hold me tight so I can never run away Hold me like I never had a breath to take Don't be shy Hold me tight so I can never run away I let my mind go blood hound Too far to lose this sound Send me out of this town Right back where I came from Stick my feet into the ground So I don't fall

Don’t stay the same When you’ve got nothin' left No one’s here to blame There’s a change for you to proclaim There’ll be a calm With a con that goes wrong A sad game made to lose And just one more mask to put on I once had a loan I thought had been returned I kept both eyes on the road And somehow still took a wrong turn When they say the end will come too soon I just gaze relentlessly into the bloom And when they say that these days are just a waste I just pretend all that’s left is what you make Don’t stay the same When you find your tune untrue Of these dreams that you made There’s another door to walk through Don’t stay the same When you’ve got nothin' left You should start again There’s a heart for you to reclaim

Feel the sun Taste the sea Can't leave these moments behind Won't be long Before it's gone The smell of sweetness in the air When the stems are to be cut And the sun is heating up The wealth of thirsty roses With hope that never closes They can’t find Things I hide Memories I’ve buried inside Yours to find Laugh and cry After they have stolen my mind When the stems are to be cut And the sun is heating up The wealth of thirsty roses With hope that never closes

Bygone Baby 05:22
Just like your saddest dreams come true When falling from your own balloon A tattoo of your minds taboo Now you're subdued The worst delusion to un-chew Can't hold your bitches and your brew Row the crooked spined canoe Into the slew As time flies through Don't let your saddest dreams come true As time flies through Don't want to be forgotten baby Who's going to see my undertaking When the time comes to be something Don't want to be a bygone baby I've been here before but this time it's so much harder Reach into the water and feel your hand get smaller Where I go no diagram can illustrate But I wouldn't have it any other way Just like your saddest dreams come true When falling from your own balloon A tattoo of your minds taboo Now you're subdued The worst delusion to un-chew Can't hold your bitches and your brew Row the crooked spined canoe Into the slew Don't want to be forgotten baby Who's going to see my undertaking When the time comes to be something Don't want to be a bygone baby I just can't pretend that there is an open door Memories play tricks and my mind has lots in store I learn to build small fires and scatter them all around Fill up my balloon and head upward bound
