these wheels are falling apart
when i go up into the woods
in my car
these creatures, fallen from hell
were never meant to be alive
in the park
so take the reigns of my heart
so lead them into the dark

same
they all look the same:
fake
what’s your name?
your face is gorgeous
fate
don’t be late
hey
don’t complain
it’s my reflection
and you will follow too
and slither 'cross the room
same
they all look the same:
snakes
what’s your name?
it’s getting closer
snakes
they all look the same.
take
what you claim
your hand is reaching
snakes
they all look the same.
take
what you claim
my hand is touching
and i will follow through
forever next to you

burn in radiating colors
melting pictures off the wall
let’s hit the road ‘cause
home is gone
but we don’t need it
and the music’s on
but the color’s off
the color’s off
static on the radio
we’re reaching out to talk
we’re melting through a beta ray now
and we’re all gone
it’s ultraviolet so
you can’t see it
we’re all in trouble but
no one believes it
burn in radiating colors
the desert has our name to call
let’s hit the road ‘cause
home is gone
but we don’t need it
and the music’s on
but the color’s off
the color’s off
static on the radio
we’re reaching out to talk
we’re melting through a beta ray now
and we’re all gone

something
in the window
it caught my eyes
and no surprise
the memory has stained my mind and
turn the table
any time you want to
baby, let’s be honest
time is running out
lately
I’ve been looking
and later on
when i hear this song
the thought of it will ring a bell and
turn the table
when you want to see it
baby, any time and
I will make it work
come and touch the ground
I coulda been
anybody else
the sand is slipping down
and time will run out
something
in the window
well later on
when we’re all gone
the rhythm will emerge again and
turn the table
any time you want to
baby, let’s be honest
time is running out
something
honey, something
let’s do something
in the window

it comes in tiny waves
and it never fully stays
making motions
nobody knows
feeling the breeze
wind still blows
it comes in tiny waves
and it never fully stays
calling out
the sound of your name
swimming around
the thrill in the air
it comes in tiny waves
and it never fully stays
feeling emotions
nobody sees
falling apart
feeling the breeze
it comes in tiny waves
and it never fully stays

take some time
and surf online
connection’s strong
our sight is slow
and when I find
I’ve lost my mind
I’ll make a mental note
fight the fear
'cause when you leap
you’ll see the net
it will appear
and take some time
to lose your mind
just leap and let it flow
little numbers controlling
how we see
we compute it
and now we use it
little numbers erasing
what used to be
we provide it
and we can’t fight it
take some time
and surf online
connection’s strong
our sight is slow
and when you find
you’ve lost your mind
just leap and let it go

what was this notion i had
the meaning of life
the reason we’re here
is changing and
so you see
the line is blurred eternally
with expectation gone
who are we supposed to be?
can we survive around the generator
slicing up bread until there's no remainder?

now is the time for us to stay up later
i see the pink glow and it’s getting bigger
watch what you’re fed
you don’t have to eat it
hold high your head
'cause you’re gonna need it

Half Moon

take me to the edge
to breathe in deep the sea
the mist and fog’s for me
it’s soft and hard to see
shedding thoughts of reason
I’m running wild among the leaves
just take it slow
I’ll return to thee
from the water blue
up to the avenue
it’s all a mellow coast
and all those streets i knew
are drowning under you
the tide is turning cold
shedding myself carefully
of all those snakes
uncomfortable
well we all make mistakes
something ended violently
between the lines of sight and sea
just take it slow
I’ll return to thee
so take me to the edge
to breathe in deep the sea
the mist and fog’s for me
it’s soft and hard to see
shedding thoughts of reason
i’m running wild among the leaves
just take it slow
I’ll return to thee

melting through
the hot paved stone
and rubber smoke
it burns blue
pressure
pressure
pressure
to move
pressure
pressure
measure
your move
when night time comes
the current’s dark
a hidden spark
comes through
pressure
pressure
pressure
to move
pressure
pressure
measure
your move
a highway drive
through the hills
a lava flow
red lights
black wheels
the thought of this
it truly kills
the thought of this
it truly kills
melting through
the hot paved stone
and rubber smoke
it burns blue
pressure
pressure
pressure
to move
pressure
pressure
measure
your move

do you remember
that wonderful day
how long ago was it
when you first saw the prize
it’s just me
slouched in covers
the ego is fed
recalling a memory of
the mall that’s dead
sleep tight
well alright
it’s over
and I’m lonely
tread light
the head lights
are coming
for you only
here is a new day
the sun is coming up
this is enough
the whole sky’s above
sleep tight
well alright
it’s over
and I’m lonely
tread light
all the lights
are going
out slowly
we can go back there
it’s all in my head
recalling a memory of
the mall that’s dead
back in the day
when I went to you
it was a way for me
to feel something new
well, sleep tight
I’m alright
it’s over
the door’s closing
well, that’s right
all the lights
are going
out slowly
