Your hair strung taut from the ends of a bow
I move it saw-like to play you a tune
Again you ask if I’m losing my vision
I want to love beyond Narcissus’ condition
The lights revert like an alien embrace
Heard it through the walls, subterranean chrome
What can you see from your windowsill?
Why’s it so funny that I miss you still?
Elevator
Elevator
Pretty machine
If you know what I mean
There’s a room in my heart where you stay
Nothing changing everything the same
There’s a commotion and a stirring of 1000 limbs
A malignant hum that comes from within
I was once something but now I’m a fish
I was once searching for a place to begin
He’s taken the bad and he’s turned it to good
Doomsday preparator, yeah, believe what you should
It’s burning in my eyes like an acid rain
You wanted the truth, but you’re lying again
Elevator
Elevator
Pretty machine
If you know what I mean
There’s a room in my heart where you stay
Nothing changing everything the same

Will it come in darkness or will it come in light?
Oh, the lights not fading, oh, the lights not changing
Your sheets cover my face, it’s funny how I lie
When it comes, when it comes, when it comes back down
The sun goes down and we stay up, the summer never ends
Yet they just stare and wonder when we’re back again
Awaiting lurking shadows, I’ll never sleep alone
When you come, when you come, when you come back home

Is there something I’ve been missing?
Another week has gone by again, alright
And the morning comes to consciousness
Time resumes while the others masquerade, alright
We stand on the edge looking out upon the stars
We’re drifting through the clouds, we can go so far
The sun shining down on the emptiness we saw
We slipped through the windowpanes, we can go so far
I slumber without sleep now
When I’m formulated in a phrase, alright
How I should begin to
Spill out when I’m caught up in the waves? Alright
We stand on the edge looking out upon the stars
We’re drifting through the clouds, we can go so far
The sun shining down on the emptiness we saw
We slipped through the windowpanes, we can go so far

Tin roof and tottered steps
Beside and Shifting downwards
It’s not fear, just age
Up the hillside
Nowhere I’d rather be
I’m not all here or there
Surely there must be a place beyond pain
A room without values or saints
What do you mean when you say you don’t know?
Can’t take my eyes off the glow
I cry out I don’t want to be saved anymore
Draws blank, nothing to say
Eyes fixed upon his footsteps
It’s been set, not chance
All there is has changed
Nowhere I’d rather be
I’m not all here or there
Why’s it so cold when the summer comes round?
Wish I could come down and stay
I stand before you with blood on my hands
What makes the distances grow?
I cry out I don’t want to be saved anymore

I look to my book for something
To keep my head on straight while you’re away
Though I’m still unsure when you’ll be back
I wish I had something to say—something witty or clever
But somehow language feels so trite—is this feeling forever?
I fill my cup and take a sip
I’m only me when I’m on my own
And nights when I’m feeling low
I think of you to pass the time
10000 miles away
I think of what I’d do
The cult down the street won’t let me sleep
All dressed in white, they’ve thrown away the key
“And if you need a way to take the pain away…”
But I’m a misanthropic antichrist—a waking cadaver
What can bring us up from here—bring us together?
I’m freaking out on the phone again
While you reinvent yourself
How can it be that we could not see?
I pray for the sun again tonight
10000 miles away
I think of what I’d do

Dies, Blooms

Time passes by and memories dissolve
I won’t even for a minute let her see I’m dying
My eyes open to a world of silent love
I don’t care that we’ve changed, a kiss on his ear says
If you want to stay, then girl don’t ever go
And a love that never dies blooms into the night
Time passes by and memories dissolve
What would she give for another day of her own life?
It feels like summer is done, the sun’s turned into blue
I won’t even for a minute know that she has gone
If you want to stay, then girl don’t ever go
And a love that never dies blooms into the night

Tomorrow

When did silence become so deafening?
It’s just not right to believe in things you won’t fight for
It’s not that I hate everything now
I just can’t stop wasting time when I’m unsure
And I fear that tomorrow has come too soon
That the shadows have consumed
Tomorrow
I can hardly hear over the static now
It’s just our fate to believe in things outside ourselves
Everybody knows time’s running out
So hold me close and let your guard down just this once
And I fear that tomorrow has come too soon
That the shadows have consumed
Tomorrow

Something about this album is so amazing to me, I've been listening to a year now and the songs on it never get old. Wonderful vocals especially! Picking a favorite was a challenge, every song has it's own amazing charm to it.
