Love Is Surrender
05:30
|

Patience with the body
Untying scars & letting them go
Selves afflicted by crises
Identity; you reap what I sow
Love is surrender
Basking in the light
of cathode ray dim nights
Love is surrender
of a heart once turned to stone
to render our tender flesh & bone
to dust
Fire walk with me
Into the dark
I long to see
Love is surrender
Burning old lives down
Remember; leave those days to drown
Love is surrender
of a heart once turned to stone
to render our tender flesh & bone
to dust

Scream Queen

Threatening skies are gaining on you
Clouds full of promises / some of them true
Set to pour hand-me-down kisses on your lips
Gumball machine rings floating like burning ships
Run
Run while you can
You shouldn't have to cry for love
Sheets come down to soak you through
Leaves you nothing but black & blue
Gold-dulled glint in the poison light
They don't know because they don't want to know
Run
Run while you can
You shouldn't have to cry for love
Run
Run while you can
You shouldn't have to cry for love
Run
Run while you can
You shouldn't have to die for love
Run

Always
04:20
|

In the last light of day
Sun setting on a wounded charade
Killing overtime to keep you alive
In the shadow of a former life
Pale equinox soaked in lye
Draining the future one day at a time
Always
A long, long way away
Pleading with fate for your big break
Steady diet of a first heartache
Diner dancing, plaid skirt, alight
Can't just be easy for a girl like you
When all your friends are burning blue
Trouble wrapped in twirling plaid tonight
Always
A long, long way away

Just You

Just you & I
Together, forever, in love
In love, we go strolling together
In love, we go strolling forever
Just you & I
Together, forever, in love

Dream Casket
04:02
|
|||
|
They walked you both to the river
You left yourself behind
Walked in the night together
for future selves to find
And adore for your innocence
The way you were back then
Out on a limb with your best friend
It's breaking, she's falling in
She's slipping away
She's slipping away
into a night that knows no end
Her diary says she loved you
Enough to push you away
Grit your teeth and follow
Where soulless hunters play
Hunting youth / and shaping hearts
To coffins of teen years, caskets lined with dreams
She's slipping away
She's slipping away
into a night that knows no end

It Is Happening Again
02:24
|
|||
|
Will you take me away?
Somewhere we'll never be found
In everything, I see you
I want to hold your hand
Everywhere, I feel you
It is happening again
Everything is falling apart
Where are you?
Would you come hold me today?
Into the evening
In a place away from the world
Where no one can see
It is happening again
Everything is falling apart
Where are you?

The Black Lodge
05:31
|

|
Can't stand the smell of this burning home
Falling down / smoldering crown
of pain, misfortune & wisdom come too soon
The love, the light can't reach you here
The shame, the weight will disappear
There is only time in this place
Sweet girl, sweet child
Did they know you at all?
Busied hands in your affairs
You fall faster than light
You fall faster than time
You just wanted to get away
Anywhere, safe to say you didn't know
What this would cost / the life you lost
No other way
There's a girl in your bed
& another one in your head
Her hands; meanwhile
With the ring she's safe
From the man from this place
Beware, beware, beware...
No stranger to danger in the hands of men
Isolation; the value of a secret sin
Bleeding heart on the pages of Flesh World
It will all be over soon
Did they know you at all?
Busied hands in your affairs
You fall faster than light
You fall faster than time
Where will you go?
Will I be alone?
25 years or forever,
I'll wait for you
