That Shade Of Blue

You said you could not fix it, and you didn't want to
As I laid and watched the stars shine through you,
and for days I dug myself into you,
As I watched myself enter this womb
I danced beside the fire for you,
As the flames would tear and waltz right through you,
through the fields the heat would burn right to you,
As your eyes would turn that shade of blue,
the one that made me love you

Interlachen

We spread our pollen on the lakes of Interlachen,
beneath the shores beneath the waves.
I know there's people we can't see all around us,
I know one day it will be me,
I can't forget the days we spent, on a mountain,
then i realize I never left,
All the record stores in Brooklyn couldn't fill up,
how big my heart has gotten since,
but not today, will you fly away from me
We spread our pollen on the lakes of Interlachen,
We made love to it's pearly gates,
we glow like fireflies tonight through the rain clouds,
covering this empty space,
I don't think of everyone as different people,
but more like a velvet lace,
there are no ghosts out tonight, in the alleys,
so tell your children it's alright,
but not today, will I learn just why we die
Never steal from me these arms, never touch my face,
never move me through this darkness, it only gets in the way
We spread our pollen on the lakes of Interlachen,
we laid our lips upon her face,
she's still stuck in the same damn place,
a tall imaginary space

Death Of A Dragonfly
05:06

Show your eyes in the door crack,
never get my life back,
wondering what's left to lose,
Show my face in between tones,
It's no use as I suppose,
Searching for what's left to find
Claw your way through the doorway,
It's all in my head as they say,
with your eyes glowing so bright,
Claw your way through my insides,
never touch what's outside,
so that I would feel no pain
We've got a lot to peel apart to
see what's in it's head
It's a monster, it's a part of
everything I said
Now it's over, Now it's over,
It's all in my head, it's all in my head,
say it's over, please be over,
now it's over, now it's over
We've got a lot to peel apart to
see what's in it's head
It's a monster, it's a part of
everything I said

Pianos From Ponds
05:10
|

|
Now take a breath, and think that you are home,
we ain't coming back anymore,
Now see your friends, and think that you are whole,
They don't know a thing about this place,
And we say we're so in love,
or maybe not, maybe it's just the ending,
And you say you've grown up,
but always it seems it's me who's hurting
And I can't be moved, like pianos from ponds
like little wings lost in snow clouds,
and my days are spent trying to play notes,
of songs I sang when I was young,
And I think the world is flat,
my soul is stuck on the opposite side,
and like this I can't survive
And i've sunk down to the ground,
never to be found,
and you're still floating with the air,
like a bird way out there,

In Winters Hair
03:33
|
|||
|
And I never know where you're from, and where you go,
The wind is cold, it sends the children to their homes,
and bites them when they don't obey
And I remember days when I used to play in winter's hair,
Do you remember days when everything was safe in autumns care?
well I don't care, i'll never be there.
And the time is only what I feel in the air,
And I remember feeling somewhat unaware,
maybe asleep, maybe in a dream,
And I remember days when I used to play in winter's hair,
Do you remember days when everything was safe in autumns care?
well I don't care, i'll never be there.

Near To Me
05:07
|

|
You know the sound, you know it all too well
You're going blind now that they're all in hell,
You can't forgive me, i'm still inside of you,
Don't try to find me, i'm getting comfortable
You seem so frail, crying when no one sees you,
Chasing your tail, I know there's something to you,
you are the good kind, there's nothing there to haunt you,
You're waiting outside, i'll soon be there beside you
We were alive, inside your eyes,
What's dear to me, is near to me,
You closed your eyes, silently died,
What's dear to me, is dead to me.

Things She Said
03:17
|

|
I'm alright i think, I just need you to hold me,
it's never what it seems, my mind is getting darker,
I've done everything that I can do to harm you,
and i have harmed myself, so please just never bother,
I am not ok, and I am not myself,
but everything's alright as long as you can stand me,
the moon is coming up, the sun is going down
to go to bed again, to sleep without a sound,
It's painful but i've got to say,
it's getting better every day,
It's lonely but i've got to say,
it's getting better every way,
Entertain the thought while we laid by the ocean,
it's never what it seems, the waves are a commotion,
Said you couldn't think of anything much nicer,
than every time they broke, and we became much wiser
It's painful but i've got to say,
it's getting better every day,
It's lonely but i've got to say,
it's getting better every way,
later in the night I tell you that i'm over
the things she said to me, because i'm getting older,
Deep within my sleep, I stand up and I tell her the things i really think,
Nobody knows me better.
It's painful but i've got to say,
it's getting better every day,
It's lonely but i've got to say,
it's getting better every way,

Monster Eats The Pilot
03:54

|
I've had these eyes for so long,
they'll tell you everything i've done,
Through broken windows you're so big,
The world is tiny in the end,
And if these thorns fall from my chest,
i'll give them to you,
And if my tears flood up your house,
you'll sink into them,
I've walked this road for so long,
still set on singing the same song,
No one to tell me hold on,
i've been the problem all along
And if these thorns fall from my chest,
i'll give them to you,
And if my tears flood up your house,
you'll sink into them,

Dead Cold Fingers
03:54
|

|
You never could face the monsters in your room,
So in time they caught up to you,
You always did say they watched you in your sleep,
A thousand tiny eyes, transfixed on you dear,
Now they reside in the back of your mind,
and in time you will open your third eye,
It's just a ride, we will live and we will die,
Close your eyes, just be happy with your life
When dead cold fingers, stretch across your gorgeous face.
I hope your eyes are blue as they are now,
and whatever waits for you behind that door,
I know it's not as grand as what I feel for you
and in time you will open your third eye,
It's just a ride, we will live and we will die,
Close your eyes, just be happy with your life
Looking back on my life, i'm seeing strangers all the time,
I could have stayed and let them know,
but I had somewhere else to go,
somewhere where you would wait for me

Lighthouse
05:01
|

|
And the water, and the orphans, and the trees, sang to you
and the weather in the autumn brought the breeze to his knees
And I don't think i've ever seen a star quite like you,
and maybe one day I can shine on you too
We're young and we sing different songs,
all while this land locked bird pushes us along,
someday I will show off my light,
and maybe be your lighthouse this time,
Now the orphans have turned to dreamers,
and I don't know where they've gone,
and my sister will sit and whisper,
while I sing my favorite song,
the notes all float away in the breeze,
and then they touch the ground and turn to brown like dead leaves
We're young and we sing different songs,
all while this land locked bird pushes us along,
someday I will show off my light,
and maybe be your lighthouse this time,
And if I ever sing you this song,
you'll see just how wrong my life has gone,
and though my hair is starting to grey,
I know that you loved me that day, on that day, anyway
We're young and we sing different songs,
all while this land locked bird pushes us along,
someday I will show off my light,
and maybe be your lighthouse this time,

TV Screens & Smoke
05:34
|

|
Signals, we send our signals tonight,
Symbols, made up of stars and satellites,
We're ghosts. We're ghosts
Ghosts. We're ghosts
Tables, covered in TV screens and smoke,
Windows, with draping curtains and smoke,
doorways, with nothing underneath that I know,
People, made up of hair and skin and smoke
For years and years we could not speak,
that doesn't mean that we are weak,
Voices, the ones that made you feel this pain,
Don't fret, for I would hold you in the rain
We're ghosts. We're ghosts
Ghosts. We're ghosts
I don't need anyone to tell me when to talk to you,
I don't need dogs and rabbits, to tell me when to hurt you
