Fire Flies

it smells like summer is over
and the autumn is falling in
my window's open
something cold is blowing in
and i am so goddamn tired
streetlights shine like fire flies aflight
marching with the wind
the road rolls over the bones of my kin
what the hell happened to them?
we float below the amber glow of
phantom limbs akimbo in the
acts of ever after riven
no one speaks cos no one listens
but i hear you wallowing
clutch regret like a letter unsent
the ticking pounds ears with weight
they cannot take
summer stars fall on the autumn sky
cut through the night
hand in hand
run to the setting sun
outshine the dawn
aftermath
aft collapse
she's going down
aftertaste
need escape
let's take this town and drown it out

Glittered Out
05:51
|
|||
so it seems that these things burn
poring over empty urn
bleed it out
breathe it out
twinkle out and now you'll learn
empty echoes sing alone
with holy ghosts
rip it out
get it out
let it out
let it go
they're drinking what you're pouring down their throats
your sun king dream's drowned in its weight in gold
silver cities shake and hum
wicker bridges flicker up like kingdom come
but i'm glittered out
whisper 'round now darling
your iron sides are blinding them

from the static rise
i'm blown away
all these drafted lives
remain enemies
we're all sitting here
sun is sinking in the sky
i know there's nothing here
if there is a place
take the time to stay awhile
i know
in your weaknees all you need is green
when you're sleepless green is all you need
we're still sitting here
sinking sun beneath the sky
i know there's nothing here
if there is a place take the time to stay awhile
i know
in your weaknees all you need is green
when you're sleepless green is all you need
dance, monkey, dance
all we are is kids kicking the air
all we are is all in all

What You Will
03:38
|
|||
what you wait for
may not come
giving everything to everyone
i'm a gentleman who cares
what you will
will come
giving everything to everyone
i'm a gentleman who cares
taking anything from anyone
i'm a gentleman, who cares?
giving everything to anyone
i'm a genteman who cares
taking anything from everyone
i'm a gentleman, who cares?

After Dark
03:38
|
|||
the night's just right
to say anything that
you'd like to hear
it goes down like wine
we could both go home alone
or stay til the sun comes up on us
what did you say to me?
i've nothing left to stay to you now
not when you seem to know
exactly what i'll say to you
(it's just no fun, honey)
what do you want from me?
i've nothing left
that i didn't give

City Lights
04:12
|
|||
stranger say my name
let me see your face
cos everyone has come to play
so place your bets & hedge 'em now
lovers lay me down
the city lights the road
stranger take me home
and let me go
hold me close and let me go
lovers lay me down in the city lights
sober's shaking out
let it out right
lovers lay me down in the city lights
lovers let me down
what have you heard?
and did you get there first?
did you get what you deserve?
fuck what you heard.
they're just empty words
did you get some? did you get it (right)?

The Prairie Loop
04:07
|

steal away out from the crowd
mind your head
it's getting heavy out
see the station, a place to hide
watch the colors
watch the lights
we've seen a lot of things
only with horizon in our eyes
steal a way out from the scene
take your time, it's fine
it's what i need
see the station, a place to hide
watch the colors
watch the lights
you seen a lot of things
but never me
we see a lot of things
only with horizon in our eyes
(it's in your head)

Put Out The Lights
03:04
|
|||
morning's broke
and my eyes are hazy
these halcyon days
of misrememberance and dishonesty...
i could lie and say everything is just fine now
and i might
cos everyone shits when they die
put out the light
and tell me that everything's fine
something's broken
my mind is racing down
a dead-end road to nowhere
just put out my lights
|

the doors open
they're waiting
and you're hoping
to return home to home
can it be the same?
are we forever changed?
can we be the same?
the old man's sleeping
he's best left to his dreams
the soldier's keeping
an evil diary
can she be the same?
she got herself another name
can we be the same
as we float through space
a day is not a day
when we float through space

Any More
02:50
|
|||
you're not ready
you're not sure
who you are waiting for
i am ready
and i'm so scared
we might remind ourselves
who we are
i don't know any more
i don't know
you're not ready
you're not sure
who you are
