Tracks



01. Flies

Down like a dog, can't take it no more
I'm playing house, the house is burning
I wanna see something in me
I wanna be a life worth saving

You know that I can't sleep
I've been awake for weeks
And someone's dying

They sing a funeral song
The celebration's on
'cause someone's dying

Stick of the pin, our lives are over
Staying in line till we run out of time
Apologize for being alive
Apologize but why would you care

You know that I can't sleep
I've been awake for weeks
And someone's dying

They sing a funeral song
The celebration's on
'cause someone's dying

Down like a dog, can't take it no more
I'm playing house, the house is burning
I wanna see there's something in me
I wanna see your fucking funeral

02. Cut It Short

She still wants to know what I still don't know to say
When we go below, all songs I should know go away
We take the long road home but cut it short
When all of her soul falls out with the cold into

Words for you
All that I can do
Songs too true
Break it into two

I'll slip on a loop, diamond in her soup to choke
Fake all of a feel and fate takes the wheel...figure 8
We take the long road home but cut it short
When all of her soul falls out with the snow into

She still doesn't know what I still don't know to say
When words dig a hole we hide what we stole and go away
We take the long road home
We take the long road home
And cut it short

03. Flames

[Instrumental]

04. No Air

How did I end up here? Watch my soul disappear
All I want's away, away from you
Why did this hated son let his whole life be thrown
down a hole made by you?

You are the enemy, tear you apart

Owning the land and sea, drain all that's good in me
All I want's away, away from you
How did I end up here? Watch my soul disappear
down a hole made by you

(you are not anyone to me)

Burn all your photographs
Black books to ash
Kill all your memories
Bury the past
Yesterdays fade away
I built a wall
Empty out all of it
Empty it all

Now that you're dead to me
I can stand up
Someone I used to be finally woke up
Now that you"re dead to me
Now that you're dead

(you are not anyone to me)

NO AIR!

05. Shadows

She was made
For you
She wasn't meant
For you
Can't take this

She was meant
For him
She wasn't made
For him
Can't take this

She was made
For you
Can't take this
Can't change this
Can't save this

06. Not For You

We share this shimmering black pain
Our pride and joy in suffering
Hüzün, hüzün I call your name
I know you know we are the same

He wants it all
She wants it all
They want it all
but there's a wall

He wants it all
She wants it all
They want it all
But they will falter

We swim the sea of suffering
Bathed in the joy of our black pain
Hüzün, hüzün I call your name
I know you know we are the same

He wants it all
She wants it all
They want it all
but there's a wall

He wants it all
She wants it all
They want it all
But they will falter

He needs her closer
(like anybody else)
And she's longing, too
(like anybody else)
But she's made her mind up
(like anybody else) and it's
Not for you

You gotta find your way out
This ain't working out
You gotta find your way out
It's not working

You gotta find your way out
This ain't working out
You gotta find your way out
It's not working

It's not working
It's not working
Out

He wants it all
She wants it all
They want it all
but there's a wall

He wants it all
She wants it all
They want it all
But they will falter

He needs her closer
(like anybody else)
And she's longing, too
(like anybody else)
But she's made her mind up
(like anybody else) and it's

Not for you

07. The Smell Of The Sound

Body of water
Lightning for eyes
You and I

Somebody's daughter
Some mother's son
We are one

You are
That's all that you are that's all that you are
I am
That's all that you see, all that's left of me
We are

Oh, you will never be alone now
I am always there x2

Somebody's daughter
Some mother's son
One and one

She breathes underwater
I speak to the sea
We are three

You are
That's all that you are that's all that you are
I am
That's all that you see, all that's left of me
We are

You are
That's all that you are that's all that you are
I am
That's all that you see, all that's left of me
We are

08. The Deep

How can you give her a name?
When blood and body are the same
To take a breath for her
To make a home for you
We are the only ones she knew

rapture
is calling
to master
rule of three

She's nameless and faceless
Her eyes are my eyes

She hears me and feels me
I fail her, she saves me

How can you just fade away?
Away, without a shadow trace
The 3 in we that has freed me to be weak
The joy and sadness of the deep

Ecstatic narcosis
You hide it inside me
The rapture, 3 calling
To master the path of we

She's nameless and faceless
Her eyes are my eyes

She hears me and feels me
I free her, she frees me

Ecstatic narcosis
We hide it inside us

The rapture of the deep
Three master the path of we

09. I Am A Ghost

I'm alive now, I'm awake
Cry your eyes out, while I escape
I'm alive now, but I lie
I can fly now, I take your wings

Gonna hang you out to dry
Gonna hang you out to dry
Gonna make you wish you died
I am the way out

See the stars shine through the quake
Grind your eyes out to your grave
I'm alive now, I'm inside
Cry your eyes out, this is no place

Gonna hang you out to dry
Gonna hang you out to dry
Gonna make you wish you died
I am a ghost

I don't have a home
Climbing down a hole
Someone you used to know
is dying everywhere

I am a ghost
I am a ghost

Gonna hang you out to dry
Gonna hang you out to dry
Gonna make you wish you died
I am a gun

10. Living In Lye

Been living in lye
staying low
these words are a lie
like a knife down my throat
killing myself
take control
locked in a cell
don't like this inside me

No matter what you do
It's gonna get you anyway
No matter what you think you're mine
Don't care what you say
No where no way you get out
No matter what you do you're mine

In love with the lie
So sick down below
No love for the lie
It wants to destroy
Wasting alone
Burned out, no control
Fuck you to that lie that's living inside me

Wasting this day
Wasting inside
Fade away
It's not in me
Fade away
Deny

You know you just can't slow down
You know you just can't slow down
You know you just can't slow down
Dig your six feet down
