Courage

Contrary to the matter
Who you are, you are not
Come with me, I’ll show you Saturn
Planets don’t quite align

You should try not to be so courageous

I never said you were a mistake at all
You got it all wrong, you’re misunderstanding

Traveled far for a lover
Who she was she was not
But honestly it don’t matter
Aliens ain't Farmers

You should try not to be so courageous

I never said you were a mistake at all
You got it all wrong, you’re misunderstanding

You should try not to be so courageous
These dismal moods have become contagious

You should try not to be so courageous

I never said you were a mistake at all
You got it all wrong, you’re misunderstanding


Movies

At slow speed we all seem focused
In motion we seem wrong
In summer we can taste the rain

I want you to be free
Don’t worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene

Two can play this game
We both want power
In winter we can taste the pain

In our short years, we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away

I want you to be free
Don’t worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene

You won’t cry, I won’t scream

In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad and throw away
And if we make a little space
A science fiction showcase
In our short film, a love disgrace
Dream a scene to brighten face
In our short years we come long way
To treat it bad, just to throw it away

I want you to be free
Don’t worry about me
And just like the movies
We play out our last scene


Flesh And Bone

This moisture slides from my eyes
It glistens, it glistens
There’s nowhere left to go now
If you teach me, I’ll listen
A favorite time for mistakes
In salt lakes, we all shake
Consider me your apprentice
Repentant, yet hesitant

Please show me a sign

Come inside, kneel
Remember who built your home
I built you flesh and bone

This image comes from somewhere
Who is it? Spiritual visit
Coincidence is one thing
Overwhelming, immaculate timing
Everything we had is gone
Something new has come up strong now
I feel that I belong
And I trust you, I love you

Please show me a sign
Come inside, kneel
Remember what you hear
And I’ll be still right here
Come inside, kneel
Remember who built your home
I built you flesh and bone

And I’m torn between halos, demons
All these words with cryptic meanings
Separate seasons
All these issues and mixed up feelings
And I have to choose

Everything we had is gone
Something new must come up strong now
I feel that I belong
And I trust you and I love you

Please show me a sign
Come inside, kneel
Remember what you hear
And I’ll be still right here
Come inside, kneel
Remember who built your home
I built you flesh and bone
Come inside, look around
I’ll lift off the ground
I snapped your ribs made a lover
So you could share each other
Come inside, kneel

Remember


Whisper

It’s my arms that wrap you up nice
It’s my arms, it’s my arms baby
Small rooms with record exec types
Whisper away my future lately

I’ll introduce you to producers
I’ll write your songs and make them way damn shorter

I’m so confused
This industry has made me cold
I trusted you to make me shine bright
This is almost getting old

Shock me with fear it’s taking longer
Blood sweat and years will make me way damn stronger

It’s my words that fail to give insight
I blame you, blame me baby

I’m so confused
This industry has made me cold
I trusted you to make me shine bright
This is almost getting old

It suits me just fine
This is the package I’m sending
These are the clothes that I’m wearing
These are the words that I’m saying
These are the notes that they’re playing

I’ll introduce you to producers
I’ll write your songs and make them way damn shorter

I’m so confused
This industry has made me cold
I trusted you to make me shine bright
This is almost getting old

And it suits me just fine


Summer

So you finally fessed up to her
All the lies you said
Now you kindly kiss up to her
But the feeling’s dead

Several days have passed now
Darker than any damn cloud now
Liquid sunshine falls down
Harder than all the damn hounds

Tried to give you summer, but I’m winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard

So you always did what you wanted
We will be on our own
I will soon let you go now
Things will be all right

Several weeks have passed now
Grayer than any gray cloud
Several weeks have passed now
And it’s so hard

Tried to give you summer, but I’m winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard

And it’s so hard to get out of bed
She’s impossible to get out of your head

Tried to give you summer, but I’m winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard


Sticks And Stones

I liked you
You showed me
These calls must continue

Time is collapsing in my head
I built all the walls you can’t come in
You were the one that called me last
I highly doubt this thing will last

Sticks and stones, they hurt
When you shoot them through the phone
And you dragged my name through dirt
And it hurts to be left here all alone

Elegant thoughts I will not share
My symphonic silence I hope you can bear it baby
I liked you
You showed me
Exactly who I don’t wanna be

Sticks and stones, they hurt
When you shoot them through the phone
And you dragged my name through dirt
And it hurts to be left here all alone

I’ll always look for you
I’ll always look for you
No stone was left unturned

You were the one that called me last
I highly doubt this thing will last
Cause you were the one that messed up

Sticks and stones, they hurt
When you shoot them through the phone
And you dragged my name through dirt
And it hurts to be left here all alone

Sticks and stones get shot through the telephone
With instant results, we’re both left alone


Attitude

Maybe I act on confused behavior
Maybe waves crash like semi trailer
Maybe I’ll spend my off time without you
It seems like we need our own space

And all the time I wasted away
I don’t feel good unless you stay
And all the times I chased you away
Simply to catch back up with

Your solitude is welcome
Your attitude is welcome

All you see is red lights behind me
Maybe this isn’t what you wanted baby
I don’t blame you falling backwards
No one’s ever quite confused you this way

And all this time we wasted away
We don’t feel good unless we’re gray
And all the times I chased you away
I simply don’t feel good

Your solitude is welcome
Your attitude is welcome

All this time, we heard alarms
Come to find, we fell apart
This whole thing has crashed down, crashed down
All this time, we heard alarms

Your solitude is welcome
Your attitude is welcome

You are welcome


Stranded

Your waves come crashing down
Like a semi-auto trailer
I dive so deep in the sea
To avoid killer whales
A perfect moment here and gone
It has sailed
I’ll use a hammerhead to drive
Rusty nail inside

I’m feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me
I’m feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me

Imagine if our world was blue and weightless
I never meant to do wrong to you
You’re my starfish

You moan a tone so low beyond me
A telepathic sub-sonic frequency
I need a little air for emergency
You have to understand this urgency

I’m feeling the sea beneath me, beneath you
White sand beneath my feet
No brain between my ears
I’m feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me
I know that if I had one
I’d spare us both these years

I’m feeling the sea beneath me, beneath you
White sand beneath my feet
No brain between my ears
I’m feeling the sea beneath you, beneath me
I know that if I had one
I’d spare us both these years

A sea anemone, you’re my enemy


Wish

Proud, proud is to hear it all yeah yeah
Proud ah proud, proud is to watch us fall yeah yeah
Make a wish, make a succotash wish
You live the pompous life
Throw kisses all the time
Make wishes don’t break mine

Cold fire use to inspire all not now
These are tired, maybe they’ll find their niche
Or resort to wish

Make a wish, make a succotash wish
You live the pompous life
Throw kisses all the time
Make wishes don’t break mine

Don’t be low, you better watch the road
Don’t be low, you got the strength and the balls

Chimes use to break my wish
Back…won’t you bring him back? Not now

Don’t be low, you better watch the road
Don’t be low, you got the strength and the balls

Chimes use to break my wish


Calico

So make it real
Just make it real

That’s not a reason to fire me
That ain’t no real reason
It’s funny things cheapen when we disagree
If things got any worse then cheap would turn free

Calico cats and calico dreams
That ain’t too real
Just make it real

Feel all the seasons flood through you and me
And see what trouble she’s in
But that’s not a reason to fire me
That ain’t no real reason

Calico cats and calico dreams
That ain’t too real
Just make it real
Collisions hurt and abrasions bleed
It’s hard to deal when all you do is feel

Campfires swell into monstrous things
That summer heat that’s winter deep

And all your wild winds
They couldn’t stop me from flying

Calico cats and calico dreams
That ain’t too real
Just make it real
Collisions hurt and abrasions bleed
It’s hard to deal when all you do is feel

Just make it real


Death Day

I slowly shoot these words like weapons
And go insane
I watch you drive your stupid car
You go away
You never were one to use caution
And you're gonna pay
You know I’d love to see it happen

I always tried to keep you near me
Without the pain
I love to tie us into knots
We slipped away
I tried to captivate you, on that evening
He was leaving, with the girl I’d love to kill

Happy Death day to you baby
I know you’re flying in the blue now
We’ll be together real soon now baby, don’t you worry
Papa’s got a brand new body bag for you

Cable cars run through my mind
Reminiscent Bay
I think of north on Valentine
I wish you'd stay
You never were one to use caution
It slipped away
I somehow knew this would happen

Happy Death day to you baby
I know you’re flying in the blue now
We’ll be together real soon now baby, don’t you worry
Papa’s got a brand new body bag for you

And I got a fresh new kind of attitude

I slowly shoot these words like weapons
And go insane
I watch you drive your stupid car
You go away
You never were, you never were
You know I’d love to see it happen

Happy Death day to you baby
I know you’re flying in the blue now
We’ll be together real soon now baby, don’t you worry
Papa’s got a brand new body bag for you

And he ain’t ever ever coming back to you


Smooth Criminal

As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She was sitting at the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom

Annie, are you OK
Are you OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
You OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that you’re OK
There’s a sign at the window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
You’ve been hit by
You’ve been struck by
A smooth criminal

So they came into the outway
It was Sunday
What a black day
I could feel your salutation
Sounding heartbeats
Intimidations

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that you’re OK
There’s a sign at the window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
You’ve been hit by
You’ve been struck by
A smooth criminal

Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that you’re OK
There’s a sign at the window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie


Universe

We should have waited
We should have waited

We love to break the season
And you’re the reason
We use to shake the beehive
To relax and rewind

See why you cry, see why you save
Your regimen is gonna die
See what you know
Let’s see what you throw
Your regimen

Waiting? So
Waiting? I know

We love to break the season
And you’re the reason
We use to shake the beehive
To relax and rewind

See why you came, see why you go
Your regiment is oh too slow
See why you cry, get sting from the hive
Your regimen

Waiting? So
Waiting? I know

We love to break the season
And you’re the reason
We use to shake the beehive
To relax and rewind

See! And we don’t mind
Are you sane? Are you ashamed?

We love to break the season
And you’re the reason
We use to shake the beehive
To relax and rewind


Orange Appeal

Half the rude you brought once has cold
We send with friends
All the evil actions worked my mood on you
As the energy comes from the waves at cliffs
Moan miss
We look for leaves on the family tree
Ah…thee won’t sing
Half the rude you brought once has cold
We send with friends

Compare an apple to an orange like in the
Dream we seen
As the energy come from the waves at Trussels
And all this hearty fruit has made my muscles grow to what you see
Half the rude you brought once has cold
We send with friends

Will you just bend

Apples and oranges
