Train Sounds
02:46
|
|||
|
I'm just looking for some ghosts
The night time it scares me the most
When the foxes hunt for glory in the mud
Old habits seek stories and blood
Train sounds like my heart does
And I might just take the next bus
Sleeping feet feel like lightning
And I feel my hands ripening
I'm unsettled in my ways
I've been looking for desperate grace
Follow the dogs as they find their homes
They like me for my rattling bones
Train sounds like my heart does
And I might just take the next bus
Sleeping feet feel like lightning
And I feel my hands ripening

Welcome to Dreamland
03:38
|
|||
|
I can tell the future
I can see it in my dreams
But I can never ask
What it really means
Repeating sequences of life
Soaked in familiarity
Is it my narcoleptic brain
Or can I really see
And I get scared
That I'll never dream again
And I get scared
That my dreams will never end
And I'm tired
Tired
Dreamed about the red sun
Burning hot above our heads
Breathing smoke into our lungs
Choking on the forest
And I don't want to sleep
Anymore all the time
And I don't want to dream
Every time I close my eyes
And I get scared
That I'll never dream again
But I get scared
That my dreams will never end
And I'm tired
Tired

Hope Provides
03:05
|

|
Dreams go up in smoke well this life is a joke
And I just stopped laughing
Wasn't always broken I was just broke
But then I kept on living
And you drink the water the water that hope provides
I was hiding my face hiding my disgrace
Behind another layer of gauze
When you're losing the race getting lapped in last place
Life can start to feel like a lost cause
And you drink the water that hope provides
Drink the water that hope provides
Let it flow so deep inside
It's a narrow way across a river so wide
So drink the water that hope provides
Drink the water that hope provides
You dropped your fist as he threw his right
And he landed the finishing blow
Someday they'll say you threw the fight
But you're the only one who'll ever know
And you drink the water that hope provides
Drink the water that hope provides
Let it flow so deep inside
There's a narrow way across a river so wide
So drink the water that hope provides
Drink the water that hope provides
Drink the water that hope... provides

Devil's Got No Shame
04:04

There’s a place where the sun won’t shine
If you don’t look out you’ll lose your mind
People walk around looking for signs of life
But they’re full of apathy and compromise
I tried to find my way out of here
But the winds they all moan, "stay or you’ll disappear"
Man he came to me in my wildest dreams
Promising a life like the silver screen
Whispering my name he shook my hand
Asks what else I’d give to leave this land
I’ll give my feet to you soles and all
Take me from the ankles and watch me fall
Just don’t take my soul you’ve already got my name
He said to me, “well the devil’s got no shame”
There’s a place where the sun won’t shine
If you don’t look out you’ll lose your mind

Shapeshifting She-Devil
03:29

She devil shapeshifter
A liar and a grifter
May not be pure but I am pure evil
I'm a shape shifting she-devil
Come with me tonight
Beneath the pale moonlight
And I will be whoever you want me to be
...Who you wanna see
Now you see me, now you don't
You wanna get to know me but you won't
You say I'm real, that I'm on the level
But I'm a shape shifting she-devil
Come with me tonight
Beneath the pale moonlight
And I will be whoever you want me to be
I can keep you warm
And I can change my form
So I can be whoever you want me to be
Who you wanna see

Blood
02:46
|
|||
|
It's a dull grip in your guts
It's losing feeling in your hands
Come to terms with being nuts
You cant plan where blood lands
Your body aches with every move
There's something trembling in your womb
Give birth to what you can't understand
You're living in troubled land
So you howl at the moon cuz it's full like you
Like you
Like you
Like you
You wake to find your blood
Dripping on the floor
You can't believe in love
When you're crying for no more
Tear me limb from limb
I'll become something new
Monsters will have settled here
Nightmares will come true
So you howl at the moon cuz it’s full
Aah ooh
Aah ooh
Aah ooh
Aah ooh

Time Flies
01:51
|
|||
|
I woke up I was covered in flies
Flies in my mouth and flies in my eyes
I think I must've met my demise
When it's your time to die
It's your time to die
So darling don't you cry now
Death will come for you and I
I woke up I was in my bed
But my sheets were stained bright red
I woke up with a hole in my head
When it's your time to die
It's your time to die
So darling don't you cry now
Death will come for you and I
How time flies oh how time flies
How time flies oh how time flies...

All Alone
02:15
|
|||
|
I unhinge my jaw
Like a snake, I’m a dog with a bone
Like a specter I don’t have a home
I wander the streets all alone
All alone
Oh, all alone
All alone
All alone
I want to meet death
Tween my teeth I just wanna taste flesh
Wanna love you wanna taste what is fresh
Got a hunger that burns in my chest
In my chest
Oh, all alone
All alone
All alone

Wood and Sheets
04:31
|
|||
|
I heard you on the other end
The shadow of your voice
I never called you back again
As if I had a choice
It's hard to wake up in the morning
It's hard to fall asleep
I whisper secrets into my hands
As if they could keep
My bed is made of wood and sheets
My bed is made of wood
My bed is made of wood and sheets
My bed is made of wood and sheets
Say the new year's resolutions
Recite them every night
If we say them every day
Chances are we'll get them right
I built a garden of weeds and hay
To eat the stems and leaves
There's not a place that I can stay
So underwater I'll breathe
My bed is made of wood and sheets
My bed is made of wood
My bed is made of wood and sheets
My bed is made of wood and sheets
My bed is made of wood and sheets
My bed is made of wood
My bed is made of wood and sheets
My bed is made of wood and sheets

Stark Raving Mad
02:52
|
|||
|
No one takes me seriously
Oh I am crying out in pain deliriously
Talking to the demon in my brain
And I know they all think that I'm insane
But I see blood and it's falling like rain
But maybe I'm stark raving mad
They tell me it's all in my head
That's what they said
That's what they said
I think that someone's after me
Last night I swear that I could see
The silhouette of a man standing in the street
And I know how it sounds and how it seems
But that won't stop me having these awful waking dreams
But maybe I'm stark raving mad
They tell me it's all in my head
But maybe I'm stark raving mad
They tell me it's all in my head
That's what they said
That's what they said
And I know there's something wrong with me
I'm seeing things they say they can't see
And I know there's something wrong with me
I'm seeing things they say they can't...

Eat Your Soul
02:18
|
|||
|
Well you ripped that phone right out of the wall
But it just kept ringing you won't pick up that call
It's your mom she's been dead for years
But she still knows how to bring you to tears
And you have to let it go
Or it'll eat your soul
It'll eat your soul
You have to let it go
Let it go
Feeling cold dead and defeated
Made a deal with the devil but I got cheated
Now I can't live but I can't die
Look into my eyes and you'll know why
You have to let me go
Or it'll eat your soul
It'll eat your soul
You have to let it go
Let it go
You pulled into Sunnyvale
To shake the hellhounds off of your trail
But there's something strange about the kids in that town
So you got in your care and turned around
But now they won't let you go
And it'll eat your soul
It'll eat you soul
You have to let it go
It will eat your soul
You have to let it go
Let it go

Black Moon

Black moon, black moon
Like trying to find the black moon
In the pitch black sky
On the darkest night
Like trying to find the black moon
In the pitch black sky
On the darkest night
Like trying to find the black moon
But you know that morning will come soon
