Broke her soul with mirrors to hold back the broken pieces, baskets of rainbow dust
Little fragments of a dizzy spell, these walls got ears between us
Jealous creatures in the dirty waters of innocence inside these hands mean nothing
Intruding superstitious cultural filth, these scars pull the winds beneath us
Frizzled birds to curb the pain, all you said was ‘hold your magic thoughts in the sky’
Where every moon disdains it’s truth on certainty underneath the crawl of dawn
Knighted stars in this sky of endless lights and tasered moments flush away
Belted words from your ounce of decay come crashing every time I turn
Rusted feelings bloated up our skins with repeated rhymes, evaporated meanings, filling oceans with chaotic dreams and leave us wanting more
Jealous creatures in the dirty waters of innocence inside these hands mean nothing
Intruding superstitious cultural filth, these scars pull the winds beneath us
Frizzled birds to curb the pain, all you said was ‘hold your magic thoughts in the sky’
Where every moon disdains it’s truth on certainty underneath the crawl of dawn
Knighted stars in this sky of endless lights and tasered moments wash away
Belted words from your ounce of decay come crashing every time I try

Heart's On The Rocks
03:42
|
|||
|
A million questions but not one answered for
A magnitude of excuses on the way
Standing by the lies of them who displayed
Distilled your thoughts, your heart’s on the rocks
Suddenly the world don't look so good today
Disbelieving love was better yesterday
You fell from heaven, landed hard upon your face
Took the ounce of pain within your stride, your grace
A million questions but not one answered for
A magnitude of excuses on the way
Standing by the lies of them who displayed
Distilled your thoughts, your heart’s on the rocks
Passing daffodils and dreamy suburban skies
She's dreaming of running out to meet some other guys
Yet something stops her inside time and after time
She’s got no reasons, she just wants you in her life
She’s got no reasons, boy, you're such a lucky guy
A million questions but not one answered for
A magnitude of excuses on the way
Standing by the lies of them who displayed
Distilled your thoughts, your heart’s on the rocks
She don't know the other side of you
She don’t know what breeds inside of you
She don’t know, she don’t know, she don’t know

Fairytales Do Come True
04:09
|
|||
|
When you feel like your world is crumbling down and there's no one you can trust
And you feel that your heart is being drowned by your sadness
Turn around now, don’t look back, fucking run
When you feel like someone's pointing that trigger at you and there’s nothing you can do
And you see that everyone’s laughing at the stories you tell
Hold your heart in, don’t despair, karma’s real
Just fall back and close your eyes
And watch your worries pass you by
See them birds flying high against the blue majestic sky
The magic of your whispery spell, you will prevail
When you come through, fairytales do come true
When the dreams that you dream don't turn out the way you want them to be, no matter how hard you try, it’s real
Don’t be afraid of the dark, no one’s there to tear you apart
Take a breath now, I won’t look, I won’t judge
Just fall back and close your eyes
And watch your worries pass you by
See them birds flying high against the blue majestic sky
The magic of your whispery spell, you will prevail
When you come through, fairytales do come true

This Hold On Me
02:56
|

I don’t know what it is that makes me fucking broke at my knees
I guess you always had this hold on me, yes its real, can’t hardly believe it
And I found out it wasn’t your mom’s disallowing at all
I thought I had a chance to make it true, loving you but you fucked it up
Afraid of what your friends might say
Feeling uncomfortable in a way
I'll reassure it’s over once again
We’re the news of yesterday
Afraid of what the world might say
Losing your face and have to pay
I'll reassure it’s over once again
We’re the news of yesterday

We deserved it, from playing stupid.
Its not the first time like before
Broken cellphones, its the first phase
I watch you sink your submarines
We were stronger when we were younger
I watch the blood flow from our skins
It drew fractures, espresso words
They nailed me down, they nailed me in
Four cows gazing in the morning light
The kangaroos replace my friends
Sunshine's hiding from the velvet sky
You said something you shouldn’t have
We deserved it, we played stupid
Its not the first time like before
Broken cellphones, its the first phase
I watch you sink your submarines
We were stronger when we were younger
I watch the blood flow from our skins
It drew fractures, espresso words
They nailed me down, they nailed me in

Standing at that old entrance, shrivel up into a wreck in absolute obedience
Because I know you brought me here, the lines go in rehearsal of sweet symphony of my nervousness.
And if these lights go out, it’ll make things easier to be said
Hey what if I fall, flat on my face, the world won’t hesitate to orchestrate
A shelter of laughter calls, a mockery to be told
As a new day forth begins of summersaults and weakened knees all rolled into a recipe
I’m a picture of disappointment, my stubborn thoughts submissive to the atmosphere of your presence
And if these lights go out, it’ll make things easier to be said
Hey what if I fall, flat on my face, the world won’t hesitate to orchestrate
A shelter of laughter calls, a mockery to be told

Emptiness Whole Again
03:08
|

Forewarned specials in the middle of the day
Everyone gets her taste of that afterworld
So called preachers reading palms for quick loose change
That culture’s cheapened, there's a fire sale in the sun
So sheltered, so make believe
Thick envelopes stacking in
A cash float of cigarettes and turpentine in our veins
Words quivered, objectified
Red telephones cashing in
Our cards spinning out of place, everything’s sinking deep
Splendour’s broke when all the candles burn today
Even the blind see, smashing the dreams they bend
On the walls the shadows lengthening disdain
The tracks of dementia are starting now to begin
So sheltered, so make believe
Thick envelopes stacking in
A cash float of cigarettes and turpentine in our veins
Words quivered, objectified
Red telephones cashing in
Our cards spinning out of place, everything’s sinking deep

A Catch Away
03:35
|
|||
|
Just got off the phone with you, rustled my life up with tins of glue
Broke some hearts, you‘re running from left over love remains, you lost your faith
Never picked up from when we left
Now you’re going outside fucking things up
Sold your coat for the liquor store
The girl I knew is never here no more
Taste the bitter of everyday, caged with rejection, a jar full of blame
On the floor I scribbled lines of things to say, only a catch away
Never picked up from when we left
Now you’re going outside fucking things up
Sold your coat for the liquor store
The girl I knew is never here no more
Stuck at the junction, somehow I see you there but you won’t step in, makes no sense
Moving with caution, you’re still miles from me

To the sweetest girl I used to know, I’d like to thank you for once being with me
The hours on the phone, the love you used to show would always live inside these memories
To the sweetest girl I used to kiss, the time with you is one I’ll always miss
Life was perfect then, I thought it'd never end but then again how wrong I’d been
Oh sweetest girl, I’ve found someone new, she may everything but she's not you
She mustn't know cos' that would bring her down, the fact for you I’ll always be around
She mustn't know cos' that would bring her down, the fact for you I’ll always be around
Please don't tell her that I still love you so, please don't tell her because she mustn't know
To the sweetest girl I used to love, now I can’t say that I don't anymore, I’ll be lying to myself, trying to deceive my mind as I still want you here by side
To the sweetest girl, just want to say, not asking much from you, no not today, just please remember me, the little things I’d said back when we loved each other if I’m dead
Oh sweetest girl, I’ve found someone new, she may everything but she's not you
She mustn't know cos' that would bring her down, the fact for you I’ll always be around
She mustn't know cos' that would bring her down, the fact for you I’ll always be around
Please don't tell her that I still love you so, please don't tell her because she mustn't know

Your Silhouette
02:44
|
|||
|
Silent creatures hanging off the walls
Dis-regarded, all of but my voice
I made a picture from twisted empty thoughts
Held my breath and said goodbye
Blew a candle, your sweet face still in my veins
Even darkness, cannot hide what still remains
And you drew me out from, shattered ruins
Held my breath and said goodbye
Mistletoe and freckled skin, the scent of your silhouette, behind the window shade, I hear your laughing
Wandering up this hollow road one drunken night, with poison dope, I hear you smiling
Simply in a spell of hope, never paid a house call, now I'm paying the price of love
Broke my mind with wisdom words, traces of our cigarettes, just in time to find all gone
