SLOW BURNING CRIMES
I waited long ago this time
In the cold and rain
So tell me what the time is now
Before I figure it out
This place is made of dust
A tear drop on the windowpane
Slides outside into rust
Condition isn’t right
Along we put up such a fight
An adoration in a frame it’s a shame
You won’t trust
So I’m telling you tonight
Everything I held inside
I can’t take on this flight
We walk up through rivers of fire
High tides try to kill off desire
Slow burning crimes
Keep us up through the night
We waited long ago this time
In the cold and rain
So tell me what the time is now
Before we figure it out
Do you really wanna know
I found it in a photograph it can’t last
All along the way home
We walk up through rivers of fire
High tides try to kill off desire
Slow burning crimes
Keep us up through the night
We walk up through rivers of fire
High tides try to kill off desire
Slow burning crimes
Keep us up through the night
PLUS MINUS
Left out a breath in the cold white room
We fell through the floor
Reactions in the right mood
Say it loud for the first time
I’m feeling alright
Say it out loud
A distraction to feeling alive
We could split two hearts
We could thrill these hearts
Caught in a phase it’s amazing to me
There’s a distance left alone
Don’t let it go more than it needs
Say it loud for the first time I’m feeling alright
Say it loud a distraction to feeling alive
We could split two hearts
We could thrill these hearts
We could split two hearts
We could thrill these hearts
Left out a breath in the cold white room
We fell through the floor there’s nothing else left in here
Say it loud for the first time I’m feeling alright
Say it loud a distraction to feeling alive
We could split two hearts
We could thrill these hearts
We could split two hearts
We could thrill these hearts
DEADPAN
We’ve numbed each circuit down again
But without quite the same circle of friends
We designed the target, but we denied the charges
And we’ve gnawed off our fingertips again
I know this feeling won’t be far behind
These blisters of mine
We split wide open
We split wide open
We split wide open
We started hoping
So we poured ourselves
We whored ourselves
We’ve torn ourselves
Right out of luck
We’re running on deadpans in the dark
And my senses are hidden in the lack of space
Like cutting through with a dulling knife
We used to revel in the sidelines
But there is no relief in compromise
I know this feeling won’t be far behind
These blisters of mine
We split wide open
We split wide open
We split wide open
We started hoping
So we poured ourselves
We whored ourselves
We’ve torn ourselves
Right out of luck
I know this feeling won’t be far behind
These blisters of mine
We split wide open
We split wide open
We poured ourselves
We whored ourselves
We’ve torn ourselves
Right out of luck
AUTOPILOT
Touch everything you see here now
Take a minute to feel something
Before it ends
A sound changes in color
When you smile
It’s only in the night we feel this way
Love is a hole in the ceiling
So don’t try too hard
It’s hard to stay focused
When the rush is over
Some things they don’t ever
Change into the love we see in black
I know that it’s changing face
It’s written in the cold
The things we’ve done are so hard to erase
We’ll take the long way stand in hallways
Made of slow time Sundays
A strain to fill your eyes
I know that it’s changing face
It’s written in the cold
The things we’ve done are so hard to replace
PONY
Our love is the perfect shade of blue
If you’re headin’ out
Don’t think I’m coming with you
Slow days leave us nothing fast
They remind me of lights off in the park
And after dark you know that nothing ever lasts
So don’t take long we’ve faded into place
Tomorrow’s calm I’ll take a lesson in taste
So be fooled with intentions not so kind
And when you wake up the doors will be unlocked
And the heart is out of sight and out of mind
ALONG THE WAY
Whisper slowly
Make sure I hear each word
I once heard her say
But if you move too soon
I will lose for good
This eager day
A sisters’ smile
Reminds him of when the tides were high
And the days were long
Within his inward sound
You can find yourself along the way
Within his inward sound
You can find yourself along the way
A country’s mile is further than a city’s mile
I once heard him say
But in that short dark while
You can lose yourself along the way
Within that short while
You can lose yourself along the way
Lose yourself along the way
Promise me you’ll be careful of just what you ask for
It might find you before you find
Promise me you’ll be careful of just what you ask for
It might find you before you find
Promise me you’ll be careful of just what you ask for
It might find you before you find
Promise me you’ll be careful of just what you ask for
It might find you before you find me
DEAR BLUE
It’s when the things don’t seem to line up
It’s when we’re not sure what the figures should add up to
It’s when the things that we hold near
Ride further and further away
That’s when we see blue
Don’t you worry darlin’
Don’t you worry my love
I’m not saying that it’s easy
So let’s not make this harder than it needs to be
We’re walking through the same old story
The colors bleed right through the pages
We now see through everything we’ve tried to build
Has fallen over and over again
That’s when we see blue
Don’t you worry darlin’
Don’t you worry my love
I’m not saying that it’s easy
So let’s not make this harder than it needs to be
It’s hard to find the best of reasons
It’s hard to fight a good excuse
Is it useless now
The last attempt is just a daydream in the backlight of my mind
That’s when we feel blue
Don’t you worry darlin’
Don’t you worry my love
I’m not saying that it’s easy
So let’s not make this harder than it needs to be
SIGH AND WAVE
She knows when it comes
A shame when you don’t grow
Once there was a song unknown
She knows when time is up
Comments feel like shotgun blows
A process on cool display
Strangers in the peripheral
I’ll sigh and wave when it’s coming
I’ll try to save it when it’s falling down
I’ll try and behave when I’m dying
And now I wanted to tell you something so bad
We’ll write and remember this
We’ll be so calm and brave
Coming down now that the heart has changed
I’ll sigh and wave when it’s coming
I’ll try to save it when it’s falling down
I’ll try and behave when I’m dying
And now I wanted to tell you something so bad
I’ll sigh and wave when it’s coming
I’ll try to save it when it’s falling down
I’ll try and behave when I’m dying
And now I wanted to tell you something so bad
AFTERLOVE
Lines that fall apart
Make it easy
Fix their broken hearts
Take it easy
Take it easy
Take it easy
Then it hurts when we give in
Just a rise
I don’t see a thing
In your eyes
Your eyes
In your eyes
Lines that fall apart
Make it easy
Fix their broken hearts
Take it easy
Take it easy
Take it easy
