Empty Nostalgia
03:26
|

All alone and not amused
Misconstrued and always blue
I cannot forget what I found in you
Here lays the book you read,
same with life and pictures in your head
We can still reach out
no one else can teach us how time goes on to be
Nothing due and no one used
Simply cut, a manic bruise
I can still see the light shine through
We were young and still feared death
Nothing like the night that we once bled
Someone once told us life and death are shoreless
Now you are one to see
Was it worth dying for you?
Same without lying for you,
I can’t forgive the sun
Was it worth lying for you?
Same without dying for you,
I can’t forgive the sun

Camera

All I ever want is here with you
All I ever need is here with you
A camera for a boy to hold you close
And I can love you with a light touch
I can pin you on my wall
I can rest upon your shoulders
I can live my life alone
All I ever want is here with you
All I ever need is here with you
A camera for a boy to hold you close
A picture for a boy to hold you close
A picture for this girl to hold you close

Mary

Mary, you don't know what I'm fighting for
When you run out the door
That promise is broken now
Eerie as the lies that you spew on floors
But I'm older now and know
that point was never made
And I remember what you said that day
But I can't remember how you walked away
Mary, you don't know what I'm pining for
how are lives are always torn off the page of our brother's life
Eerie as the lies that you spit on floors
But I'm wiser now and see
that point was never made
And I remember what you said that day
But I cant remember how it burnt away.
How it burnt away
Mary, please.

Whole

A handful of fingers and eyes full of song
You tried everything you could to fill the void in your heart
And I tried to dissuade you
Said they'll tear limb by limb
But your time wasn't done here, we needed your soul
and at least you went whole
You never got to see the world
So I'm gonna see it for you
They never got to read your words
So I'm gonna sing them for you
They never got to hear your voice
So I'm gonna sing it for you,
For you
And I hope you are happy
I hope you've found peace
It feels like you're somewhere extending your reach
So I've one thing to ask you
and new secret you hold
But for your sake and mine, I'll ask a question so bold
Well I just have to know...
...does God saved the damned?

The Tree
03:53

Now here she wonders what piece he glued
Right in between the tree, right in between the tree
It's nothing like she wanted,
soaked in disappointment with me
Up on the street,
where we would love the heat, where we would love the heat
We walked around ignoring,
in love but still boring with ease
It's such a breeze,
So have a life without me, have a life without me
There's no one left in mourning,
nothing worth exploring on the tree
So have a life without me, have a life without me
There's no one left in mourning,
nothing too important on the tree.

You put my love out the door
You put my love out the door
I rode out to your house
And brought you a valentine
and what did you do?
You put my love out the door,
You put my love out the door,
out in the cold
Now every February my heart gets sore,
when I remember how you put my love out the door
I sat in your living room,
told you that I really loved you
You said you didn't want to hear no more
You put my love out the door,
You put my love out the door,
out in the cold
I wrote something in the snow
In front of your porch,
I'm carrying a torch
You put my love out the door,
You put my love out the door,
You put my love out the door,
Out in the cold,
Out in the cold,
Out in the cold,
Out in the cold.

The Big Knife
05:27
|

Silver platter, unspun
Crazy, happy, undone
Special mission of fun,
building blocks of reason to have none.
Simple tailor, he threads all the voices in your head
Erased from a picture you were never in,
and every person gives a newer meaning to sin.
Simplicity, come abounding
Make me feel light as air
A simple plea,
simplicity, you always astound me
Is it easy to play nice,
or more electric to roll the dice?
This box is already heavy, out of my hands
and nothing really ever goes according to plan, my plan
But you're searching to find it,
a reason to spike it.
So pass me the big knife
If we're playing house I'll be Satan's wife.
Simplicity, come abounding
Make it feel light as air
Tense as it may be,
simplicity, you always astound me
I'll cut you a deal,
if you cut me a deal.

Black Heart

Black heart, there's no light left for you
Black heart, there's no light left for you
What would you say?
What would you do if they came for you?
What would you see?
What would be if you never changed?
Rearrange, change
Black heart, there's no light left for you
Black heart, there's no light left for you
What would you say?
What would you do if they came for you?
What would you see?
What would be if you never changed?
Rearrange, change
Black heart

Retrograde
06:25
|

Seen this before
Colors transform, shape shifting
Old tales have gone in ruins like time
Desperate and withered, tell me how
Retrograde has not been saved.
My choice is clear
No end is near
Life's darkest path to the light
There's no need to write
All your mishaps on your body
He shelters pain
Retrograde has not been saved for me.
Baby, don't cry
It'll be over soon
Baby, don't die
We'll get older too
Baby, don't cry
Just bring me the light
