Reach my hand into the
Barbed wire
It starts to crumble like
Spun sugar
Running myself lower I don't know how
To quit while I'm ahead
So full of promise
So full of dread
I can take an inch
Turn it into a mile
Even if it worked out
It's gonna be a while
Espero que yo
Tengo algo
I could dream about it
Just to see you smile
It blinds followers like you,
and me every hour
This sticky malaise comes to me
It feeds on power
Could it hold my feeling?
Could it take the pain?
Could it wish the entire world
away?
I can take an inch
Turn it into a mile
Even if it worked out
It's gonna be a while
Espero que yo
Tengo algo
I could dream about it
Just to see you smile

Whirlwinds, know me well
Sentiments get lost, never dwell
I can't stand to stay down here
It covers me, it covers me
When will gravity come in to play
And finally pull me away?
When it follows you all of the time
Pretend it's not there
Written off, it's a sign
It cannot ever be mine
Wearing blood on my sleeves
It covers me, it covers me
When will gravity come in to play
And finally pull me away?
When it follows you all of the time
Pretend it's not there
When will gravity come in to play
And finally pull me away?
When it follows you all of the time
Pretend it's not there
Run the wind and catch the rest
I cannot bear to see it end
When it follows you all of the time
Pretend it's not there
Run the wind
Pretend it's not there
Catch the rest
I cannot bear

The Ribbon
02:29
|

Walking through the dawn
Of our great new success
There was an open end
Wondering what will come next
Shining on the floor
I picked it up, asking
What it was used for
An illusion in the making
Clear ribbon in my arms
Now it made sense as to why
My life is not my own
That's when I started to cry
Everything we had known
It was made up for us all
This big world around me
My memory starts to fall
My reality starts to fall
Down the ribbon we'll fall

Teen psychic
Is it lonely at the top?
Do you do it cause you like it?
I know the pressure's a lot
Couldn't stop it if you want to
Seeing everything coming ahead
Seeing all who will love you
But also all your friends dead
Sweet dear do not cry
Don't let the days of youth pass you by
I know how hard that you try
And I know its not fair
You never asked for this power
Cursing the moon every conscious hour
In every spread reveals the tower
I know its not fair
Teen psychic
Is it lonely at the top?
Do you do it cause you like it?
I know the pressure's a lot
Couldn't stop it if you want to
Seeing everything coming ahead
Seeing all who will love you
But also all your friends dead

Was what you said
What you meant?
Do you love me?
Heaven sent?
I did something wrong
I did two things wrong
It's all messed up
It started wrong
I'm thinking about it
I think all day
I feel exhausted
By what you don't say
I'm sending a message
Can't you read my mind?
I'm choking on context
I've forgotten the rest
You can't take hold
Of your thoughts
Wring your hands
All distraught
Wrapped in tinsel
All dressed up
Fools gold
Stupid mutt
Think about
What you've done
Shed your skins
Shed your blood
All alone
In this world
Just being alive
Can really hurt
Was what I meant
What I said?
Two steps backwards
One ahead
Could you just tell me?
Could you just tell me?
Maybe i'm needy
Just unhealthy
You can't take hold
Of your thoughts
Wring your hands
All distraught
Wrapped in tinsel
All dressed up
Fools gold
Stupid mutt
Think about
What you've done
Shed your skins
Shed your blood
All alone
In this world
Just being alive
Can really hurt
It's all easy
It's all good
I'm learning about this
As I should
Wrapped in tinsel
All dressed up
Fool's gold
Stupid thoughts
Think about
What you've done
Shed your skins
Shed your blood
All alone
In this world
Just being alive
Can really hurt

Break through the skin
Breathe your first breath
We break through and live
Even if it feels like death
Bones that crack
Arms that writhe
We've got to destroy it
Just to survive
When things get tough
Or if you've had enough
You could just give up
And keep on growing
When things get tough
Or if you've had enough
You could just give up
Or keep on going
(I will live again)

Horse Headed
02:40
|

An abundance of language
Suddenly breeds a fear
Bloom of regret turning white
And wider than a year
Can you see what i'm thinking?
A shot in the dark
You know I do it every day
It's a walk in the park
Jaded and ugly and rude
Stubborn, horse headed and true
An optimistic attitude
Lagging and choking and blue

I've lived a thousands lives without you by now
You'd think fragments of us could've been found
Living another string in a tapestry
Dreaming another alternate reality
When love is far from home
Does it turn recognizable?
Unforgettable?
Pliable in my hands now
We took the time to be known
Am I now recognizable?
Unforgettable?
Pliable in your hands now
Something about closeness could well be divine
But fraying seams are always caused by time
One life together could mean two apart
But you must always know you'll hold my heart
When love is far from home
Does it turn recognizable?
Unforgettable?
Pliable in my hands now
When we took the time to be known
Am I now recognizable?
Unforgettable?
Pliable in your hands now

Dreema lives inside a shell
Is she good? No one can tell
Like glass strands, she's cold and frail
Dragging on, she never yells
Dead inside, it's this I know
By night, my name, I've got to go
Dead inside, it's this I know
Blood and names, I guess i've got to go
Dreema lives safe and sound
Never knows just what she found
Keeps her feelings under her bed
How can she smile when she is dead?
Dead inside, it's this I know
Not around, where does she go?
Gray and white and torn napkins
Water breaks, she never mends
Dead inside, it's this I know
By night, my name, I've got to go
Dead inside, it's this I know
Blood and names, I guess i've got to go
