Burn like light

When we had stationed ourselves hiding in the dark/we got high, patience sucking us dry in the car/"Get me out", something calling, pacing in the park/All I wanted flickering and fading like a star/You were right/Burn like light/I stayed in, everything came crashing through the trees/What you said, "A flame needs air to breathe"/You were right/Burn like light

Real life rainclouds
02:38

We arrived with the rain behind us/Coming down with a chill recalling this life, left undone/Looking out for a small joint making no fuss/Coming in from a long ride nursing a fight, words unfound/"You want some take one"You take one get none"/We arrived with the rain behind us/Coming down with a chill recalling life/You light me up/We pretended to notice nothing but sky/Should've seen it from miles with nothing but time, left alone/Getting on with the rainclouds over us/"Get a grip on your rights, we're selling you sun", with a grin/"You want some take one/You take one get none"/We pretended to notice nothing/Should've seen it from miles with nothing but time/You light me up

The breakers
03:54
|
|||
|
"Drunk", you said and fell back in/Every laugh a doorway opened up/Everything we said was true/Every thought a single drop of light/Sticking to a no-time plan/kept inside a teenage dream, locked away/"Stay above the undertow"/you could never take it seriously/You just wouldn't shake it/You had all that shit coming from the takers/We could never make it/We took a straight hit, slipping in the breakers/ Finding life to sit right down/Whatever possessed us left behind/Living up to take, take and take/Every breath forgetting who you are/You just wouldn't shake it/You had all that shit coming from the takers/We could never make it/We took a straight hit slipping in the breakers/ Did you ever hate it/It wasn't just a fling you were always fated/We could never make it/We took a straight hit slipping in the breakers/Living up a lie/You could not even look back straight/Living up a lie/I could not even look back straight/Living up a lie/You just wouldn't shake it/You had all that shit coming from the takers/We could never make it/We took a straight hit slipping in the breakers/ Did you ever hate it/It wasn't just a fling you were always fated/We could never make it/We took a straight hit slipping in the breakers

Wind up another story of a life that doesn't want to still the ebb and flow/I bet there's a mother waiting on a bus with her kid on that doesn't show/Throw out the rudder, wait for nothing else that doesn't show up around the next bend/Bring us another way to pick up the things that life let go off to get spent/Find me a bus, find me a bus/and we'll ride right off the chart and be gone/Find me a bus, find me a bus/stay beside me through the ride, we'll go home

Bloodvow

|
We found a dead body broken in the water/We took a vow not to tell them about it/And the stars shone upon us/We caught them and kept them/Then our dad tucked us in and kissed us/"Where did you go?", we said what, decided/And the stars shone upon us/We caught them and kept them/We got found out, stuck in the middle now/We got found out, nobody told us how

Bring on your fighting mode chin up/Stay on the rocky road don't stop/Head down a steeper slope don't budge/Wait on the telephone pick up/Pick up/Get on your rising mode hang on/Carry the heavy load don't fall/Break down the social code speak out/Wait on the telephone pick up/Pick up/I could not stand up/(All that we wanted to love)/when my life called me out/(All that we wanted to love)/I could not speak out/(All that we wanted to love)/when my life called me out/(All that we wanted to love)/Pick up all that we wanted to love

When you walked out
01:35

Did I not stay hungry, did I not/Did I not stand upright, did I not/Did I not stick to you, did I not/Stand clear of everybody else/Stick to life any fucking way

Holiday junctions

|

|
I'm getting better now we're getting worse/You with your acting out, me playing nurse/We should go anywhere to make things work/How come such simple words sound like a curse/This would mean nothing, we could go walking in the park/Without our old ghosts we could be lighting up a spark/This would mean nothing, new lives combining part with part/We could be happy, our memories lighting star to star

|
I've been waiting patiently/Waiting for that passing train/I've been hanging listlessly/Hanging on to rise above/To hide in light/I've been wanting truthfully/Wanting to wash off my stain/I've been breaking quietly/Breaking down to rise above/To hide in light

My best trick
07:58
|
|||
|
Hung over lines/"it had nothing to do with anything you said"/Cream colored crimes/I just tinkered with old calls, politics and dread/We've got nothing to deal with/we steal it/everything around us/Hang on, I'll show you my best trick/a pinprick/Everything surrounds us/Hung over lines/"it had nothing to do with anything you said"/Hung over times/It gets closer with each year, everything we dread/We've got nothing to deal with/we steal it/everything around us/Hang on, I'll show you my best trick/a pinprick/Everything surrounds us
