NO MO RUN 02:55
Sit silent and stare, and wonder if you were ever there at all I hung your painting on my wall so I would not forget. And darken the lights the brightness hurts my eyes and the smoke yellows the pages taped to hang at once for all these troubled days this one's for all the silver tongues here's to all the two faced you're free but you don't wanna be and I'm stuck, but I can't stop running Sit silently there and wonder if you were ever here at all I've got nowhere else to go, and I don't wanna be alone If my liver's black then my lungs are green and my eyes are dark smoked glass I think I'm living in the past with all of last month's trash and in that landfill, in the dirt between your toes I was laughing, I was sewing garbage into clothes for war this one's for all the silver tongues here's to all the two faced you're free but you don't wanna be and I'm stuck but I can't stop running this one's for all the forked tongues here's to all the satans we're free but you don't want us to be and I'm stuck but I can't stop running x3

I made sense of your letter, I didn't like what I read written in strange indistinguishable characters, I thought the language was dead, I searched the basement of the library for an ancient cryptograph I didn't like what I read and it made me wanna laugh it read: "put on your goddamn seatbelt this ain't no magic carpet ride. You were the doctor in that hospital that let me die in another life and I am starting to think your brain was stolen out of your head I never wanna see you again, to me you're just as well dead" I made sense of your message with a little effort and a little thought you used to look right through me Like my presence you just forgot but with this new invisibility I might just stand at your door and ring the bell all goddamn day and when you lose it I'll keep ringing it more cuz I am starting to think your brain was stolen out of your head I never wanna see you again to me you're just as well dead

River Kissed 03:48
I'm going to the river finally made it down you can catch me kissing the ground I made so much sound fire come down and save me now give me a kiss and a quiver learning to take it slow you can catch me drinking alone I made so much sound fire come down and save me now give me a boat and a paddle you can find me upstream yeah I will fight a losing battle till I'm taken by the queen and she will strike down upon me with great vengeance and furious anger give me a heart full of sorrow and a dusty guitar yeah we can learn to love tomorrow as an empty moving car and we will curse the autopilot harshly and very loud I made so much sound fire come down and save me now burnt to ashes splashing in the water drowning faster quickly sinking down burnt to ashes drowning faster can you learn to love tomorrow x3 can you learn

One of these days I'm gonna write you back about one of those things that I just have to ask: Is it gonna be all for one, or all or nothing? I don't really wanna know the answer Violence breeds violence, and distance makes the heart grow fonder; I need a longer vacation than most, and it's science, it's science! the chemicals causing the awkward silence between us, don't ever say goodbye and mean it, don't mean it! One of the bigger questions of the universe: How are we gonna make these bitter feelings work? when I went to ask the man with all the answers he was nowhere to be found. Said to myself I've made a terrible mistake, said to myself we better get out of this place, so I went to find the most available machine to wake me from this tearing fever dream and you were bionic, an android with the love most chronic, you beat me at Sonic, and left me in the dust because violence breeds violence, and distance makes the heart grow stronger; I need a longer vacation than most, and it's science, it's science! the chemicals causing the awkward silence between us, don't ever say goodbye and mean it, don't mean it! Don't mean it

I'm not the one to complain, but I've got this fever in my brain switched the cables again frequencies you haven't played. The only one with a brain she wants a comet in her name shake the stars off the frame and let the meteors rain. Don't let the meteors rain down you know we need that regular rain around and in the bigger sense of things if you're a cloud, if you're a big rain cloud, well I'm just a droplet The only ones with a heart we loved those veggies from the start making artichoke hearts pay for the winter and partly that was one of my faults I let the radishes rot burnt the cabbage and squash worse than the first autumn frost don't let the meat-eaters rain down you know we need that vegetable green around and in the bigger sense of things if you're a plow if you're the farmer's plow, then I'm just some broccoli

I am such a bore lately, I can’t keep myself from contemplating the bad things, the bad one liners, like the time I caught the well on fire, well I was just making light of a rainy day. I had no plans to stay hydrated. The lightning struck so close it could’ve blown our heads right off, the thunder was so loud it was shaking the ground. So we cut a rug, we stood and hugged for maybe 15 minutes. I’m still not sure what I have to give you, but I’m glad you stick around, Cuz I am such a bore lately, Yeah, I am such a bore.

Well I am walking down the railroad tracks and I'll keep walking no I'm never looking back till i see that train coming around the bend I heard you been stalking my life in the past but I'll keep walking I heard you're never gonna last in a world that wants your head from the moment you step inside the door and truth be told we're all dead! create your own reality find the truth inside your and when you wake up in the morning realize you've been misled to believe that nothing you could ever want would be free some day soon now, when this life is over I'll fly away and in the morning, open up my eyes to a phanny pack surprise, a fact I realized not long ago capitalists make the best cannibals no care for the other, hunger growing ever stronger and it won't be long now, till this life is over and I'll fly away because the truth is we're all fuckin' livin'! living the lives we thought we'd never lead and in seven years time when you're finally free, remember it's only what you make it out to be

I looked into the gargoyle's mouth and I saw some things I didn't wanna see: no teeth, just a forked tongue, and a lot of regrets; a life lived without love or happiness. CHORUS I jumped into the cold dark void, no sound passed through my ears I think I forgot the sound of your voice, and what's worse, I learned to die alone means no sweetness or light, to empathize with black holes, oh no no no CHORUS I walked into the werewolf's home I was met with kindness I have never known so surprised when she said I was her very first friend and we spent the night howling at the moon, and it went a little something like: CHORUS

When I was young when I was young they said, kid you better run you better run and I haven't stopped running, not to this day when I broke those bricks, I broke those bricks, and when I burnt the bridge connecting me to my past life I was born again in the fire and the smoke and I haven't stopped running ever since I keep making these chords make my feet make the mile again and when I pass by your house, you can be sure that we're still friends, but the road is long and the one I'm on never ends Once you were young, well I was young and they said, son you better run you better run so I laced up my intentions, they were the only shoes I had when I sparked the gas, lit that match the resulting blast blew my bones right back into star stuff, I was born again as the planets and the sun and I haven't stopped burning ever since I keep making these chords make my feet make the light years again, and when I shine on your house you can be sure that we're still friends, but space is cold, and the universe never ends

Candle 06:04
(spoken) You were an urn made of candlewax you were drying out, flame burning out as the droplets started to solidify and remain as blemishes against your otherwise perfectly smooth wax skin. 1, 2, 3, 4, maybe 5 flaws too many for you, you knew the only way to get rid of them was by letting your candle burn brighter and longer than ever before, and so you did, and here you are, flawless, but you no longer exist. Little birds eating corpses, raven thoughts fly in from the south, and I am lost in the driver's seat fly like a moth into the fire of my headlights and burn. Little birds, flying southbound winter winds cut through my eagle's nest skeletons once ripe with flesh and blood call for light only you can shine upon them you could shine but the last time that you called me your flame was burnt out. My life in the wax museum, the shallow melt away when you let your candle burn and what is left will return till we're ashes in an urn close your eyes it's no surprise we've been runnin on nothin and now we've died in my deepest sleep flames crawl all over me don't be surprised everyday we die little angels birthed from mud we were ripe with flesh and blood we had learned to melt in hell we'll lose our shells we're ashes in an urn (your flame was burnt out) let that fire burn (until it burns out) what is left will return (melting in hell) you could shine upon them (until you burn out)

Star Thief 03:31
I watched a skyscraper collapse into the ocean, a testament of the times, I sat my tired legs down on the tired ground and I watched that tower fall then they stole the sun right out of my sky and they turned the moon around to the dark side now the only light is from the absences of such sights searching for answers in the places where the stars don't shine
