Wait for Me 04:49
head right down in the centre of the driveway back right down in the heat of the highway up the oil in the trail of your vehicle all i can see is a stranger put down for the colour of your eyes it keeps you down for a long long time it's all gone but the frame underneath your skin fuck you're gone and you're not coming back again the image is simple a break in the meaning we don't have a chance here open up wait for me wait for me wait for me wait for me you have the right hit i cannot listen i have to take it second by second i told you if there's anything that couldve stopped this beat it was your own crooked heart taking me taking me down and loving me and controlling me at the same time is that what you want? if there's anything that could have stopped this dream it was you walking out the image is simple a break in the meaning we don't have a chance here open up wait for me wait for me wait for me wait for me you have the right hit i cannot listen i have to take it second by second

Ten Years 04:39
Look up This is where the collector looks up He has a funny feeling that he’s being watched Behind the curtain but there’s no sound Don’t give up This running wasn’t meant to run out Even when you haven’t had a thing to say In almost ten years You can’t slow down Woke up in a bright white light You’re at my side And that man waiting at my door He's been here before Lay low, you’ll get what you came for Lay low, you’ll take what you came for To the end of the empty night I’ll just get by There’s a way to keep up with me It’s easy Lay low, you’ll get what you came for Lay low, you’ll take what you came for I never really had a chance to look up Until I understood you feel that lost You’re finding out how much nothing cost Don’t pay up Until you understand that if you look back I’ll be running in the air To find you out and show you how You can’t back out Woke up in a bright white light You’re at my side And that man waiting at my door He's been here before Lay low, you’ll get what you came for Lay low, you’ll take what you came for To the end of the empty night I’ll just get by There’s a way to keep up with me It’s easy Lay low, you’ll get what you came for Lay low, you’ll take what you came for There’s absolutely nothing in the world that you can trade But still you know that these are the best days You know these are the best days You don’t got much in your pocket you could trade But now you know These are the best days You know these are the best days I don’t know shame I can only see straight By the time it’s tomorrow I’ll wake right up in a bright white light But I still got time I still got time In a bright white light

It’s five o’clock the business hours are spinning at the corner I’m sitting here and thinking how I didn’t see before A city full of iron men and unofficial wars that say your name Kill the lights we don’t need them anyway Take my time I don’t need it anyway Ive been around and seen a lot of people It’s not the same Hey, hey I don’t know anyone that doesn’t have something wrong It isn’t just like me to give up that easy I’m right with you I fill it up drink it down Isn’t that better now Wait up and breathe it in swallow them Give me your innocence Never had a smile so wide as Monday when I got free Starting up the engine when the parking lot was empty I heard you ran away from everyone until you set your eyes on me Kill the lights we don’t need them anyway Take my time I don’t need it anyway Ive been around and seen a lot of people It’s not the same Hey, hey I don’t know anyone that doesn’t have something wrong It isn’t just like me to give up that easy I’m right with you I fill it up drink it down Isn’t that better now Wait up and breathe it in swallow them Give me your innocence Give me your, give me your, give me your Give me your innocence Are you laughing? Well I can’t hear it If its not there are we even? Are we even?

Port Severn 02:50
You’re thinking of what would’ve happened without all this movement You’re wondering if every organ was lacking improvement We’ll head down the stairs to the shivering room in the basement Someday it will be there Tether impressionist visions to grow into one day Together the cut and addition with turn into one way It’s better to kick the addiction than walk on the water Someday it will be there I never thought it to be won No, but that something must be someone I never thought it to be won But still You’re thinking of what would’ve happened without all this movement You’re wondering if every organ was lacking improvement We’ll head down the stairs to the shivering room in the basement Someday it will be there

Out Here 03:16
See this heaven It has your life at its feet When it gets heavy You won’t be able to breathe You need a backdrop Its all you have in the end If it falls over The whole illusion is dead Here and that’s for sure It’s all or nothing more I had you all under a pale blue hope I used to see you and now you’re covered in smoke The days are over when half the world’s in the clouds I know you better I’m coming down And here is what you do You let go of what you knew The days have come for coming clean To water and air with no shame in between I’m losing you you’re losing me To water and air with no fucking shame And it’s here What is your name? And now your reject Is hiding out on my street Well I’ll look her over But I will not leave

It was a messy immaterial construct Black tape cigarettes here in the boys' club Offering a better existence Lie down stay still let me fix it Never even changing the pressure Sit around and listen to a cut conversation Funny she turns her face to the door The second imitation has a second to be Shifting the feedback level Hands in the hair mouth to the air We’ll eventually take you home Be the same for all the same will Crawl back out they wait for you to Ask us again Is this an attempt to take the small man down Rip the words right out of his mouth? Is this a disease that we cannot get over No matter what we do? Mirrored in the television screen One to one either side of his body Learning a nature to please Say it to me All I need is someone To put to the back row Flat to the concrete You don’t remember do you? All I need is someone before the crowd I think you’re too comfortable Be the same for all the same will Crawl back out they wait for you to Ask us again Is this an attempt to take the small man down Rip the words right out of his mouth? Is this a disease that we cannot get over No matter what we do? You took our only preacher And I repeat again You look into your future you will find the end Be the same for all the same will Crawl back out they wait for you to Ask us again Is this an attempt to take the small man down Rip the words right out of his mouth? Is this a disease that we cannot get over No matter what we do? No matter what we do? No matter what we do

Zhanyat 03:55
Down by where the river used to be Was a one man band so free Beating out on an old steel drum With a feeling of being so young Make this go on for years Without the moments in between Throw yourself off of the stage And finish off the scene Well I’ve been here before Go without me In a minute We’re looking for something to twist around the nerves Just tight enough to cause a riot Pretty enough to cause a panic We’re looking for another rebel to be heard With endless charm and hunger And a flair for ordinary words If you touch her they spit you out Remember that And be a little bit less refined Remember to put it to the back of your mind Fix your right to another ring in the wall Pick your fight by the grace of isolation You are mine don’t even think of looking down Who do you belong to? Tell me why? We are onto you He answers upon the first ring In a whisper “You’ve done the right thing” And beg for my hands at your side In a ravenous need to survive What were you thinking when you left us here? We are lost now And I am trying hard to identify him Watch me be a little bit less refined Watch me put it to the back of your mind Fix your right to another ring in the wall Pick your fight by the grace of isolation You are mine don’t even think of looking down Who do you belong to? Tell me why? We are onto you So wrap your hands around your creation In that question Why is my silhouette stuck in your bed With its eyes on the ceiling

Sail Out 03:58
In the jungle I was swimming in a fever night Living off of creatures that visit me from time to time Like the villagers that stood up by the riverside There I was a blessed man with carpenters and carving knives I was chasing I was running for the president Even though the politics were full of livid incidents You've got to sing to see the faces of a dollar bill Wake up every day to look for money in the wishing well I tried to many times To tell him not to run and hide Not at all my brother This is not escaping life Leave that town without my things Leave that static on my skin Put my money in my shoes Jump that ship and sail out I don't know but I've been told You can't go down no rabbit hole You can't get free if you get sold Jump that ship and sail out In his prison cell the world is hanging upside down People on the outside are smiling with a perfect frown All I think about is summertime and summer clouds As I sit here deep in the lion's mouth There was a messenger that travelled in the village streets Intoxicated by the sound beneath his running feet He's coming fast to say his brother is still running free But when he gets there will he tell us what his eyes have seen So many times I tried To tell him not to run and hide Not at all my brother This is not escaping life Leave that town without my things Leave that static on my skin Put my money in my shoes Jump that ship and sail out I don't know but I've been told You can't go down no rabbit hole You can't get free if you get sold Jump that ship and sail out

Gate 39 04:15
Without a shade for my eyes And a smoke in my mouth I’m making up for those old times At the back of my old house I’ve been here for hours Face to the same thick breeze I know what I’m doing but still I can let it be I don’t seem to mind what I don’t need I know this life and it knows me I don’t seem to mind what I don’t need I know this life and it knows me So give up your trying With long, deep sigh And take all my rhythm but still I’ll be keeping time I’ve been here for days Face to the same thick wall I know what I’m doing but still I can’t think at all I don’t seem to mind what I don’t need I know this life and it knows me I don’t seem to mind what I don’t need I know this life and it knows me Get out of here, I’ll be here just the same We are just the same We are just the same We are just the same We are just the same
