So Old
03:49
|
|||
|
Pack in the night to start again
Get in the car and leave this town
Eyes in the driving mirror wither
And never felt so old
I’ve never been so old
Drive ‘cross the state through the fog
A truck at my back is flashing on and off
A thought to my home before I take off
And time and light dissolve
I’ve never been so old

Sore Eyes, Bright Smiles
02:38
|

|
Playing on the seashore
Throwing each other sand in eyes
We’ve never been more sure
to see each other smile so defined
so vivid as now that we’re blind
Throwing each other sand in eyes
Combing through the shore
We could trade tears for gold
And then shake hands and walk away

Wonderful Bodies
04:13

We don’t care about being selfish
Living underground
We keep collecting more bodies
And let them all wear out
We keep letting ‘em all wear out
We need to peek through the wet grass
Looking up the stars
While they raid the woods to catch us
Leaving no way out
We’re left no possible way out
We could never want more
We could never ask for more
They keep falling in the pitfalls
We’re digging in the ground
We keep pinning their bodies
And framing them behind glass
Wonderful bodies behind glass
I don’t even remember
Who started this war
But you and me are gonna stand together
As long as they’re on us
We’ll die defending our own house
We could never want more
We could never ask for more

Fingers in the Sky
03:49
|
|||
|
Flashes gleaming on the window pane
Tv’s buzzing hums like summer rain
I’m seeing now the flames in the sky
shredding the clouds and crashing on the ground
The sun is hugging the earth
Solar flares are rushing like a swarm
Summer is bathing in the magnetic storm
I’m seeing now the fingers in the sky,
pointing at the sun and screaming all around
The sun is hugging the earth
Summer is over now and the world is gone

Two Steps
03:38
|

|
She waves from afar
Dressed in white, smiling while
I stand beside her
Her hand inside my hand
Shaking as we look down
and take a step forward
and then one backward
But still we’re not sure
Sleepy and relieved
we taste the breeze on the skin
and smell the sea salt
The blue beast with stone teeth
rise its moan and spreads its limbs
We take a step forward
and one more step forward
But still we’re not sure

One of Us
05:41
|
|||
|
You could buy more time
Or you could run for life
with that determination that makes me smile
Sooner or later
We will drain your blood out
And there’s nothing you could ever do about
Low your head before us
I repeat for the last time
and If you don’t listen
the blame is all on you.
You could still be one of us
You could still be one of us
But what kind of lesson,
what kind of lesson have you learned?
I treated you like my own child
But you had to break my heart
With your act of disobedience
and betrayal
Now show me your repentance
And we will spare your life
But things will never be the same as before
You sure you wanna do this
And refuse my goodwill?
Then you leave me no choice
Go, begin to run
You could have still been one of us
Could have still been of on us
But what kind of lesson,
what kind of lesson have you learned?

Lie Still, Play Dead
01:55
|
|||
|
Keep your head on the ground
They will not do you harm
Everything will be fine
(It’s alright)
No matter what you hear, stay down
No matter what you feel, don’t move
Anything you hear, stay calm
Close your eyes, lie still and play dead
