Apparitions

I got to get it right
So I’m gonna wait until the sun comes out
If I can make it through the night
I can show you what I mean now
Cause the apple tastes too bitter
If the tree was always in the wrong place
Yeah it’s delicate
You never know how much gold you’ll get
Through the ripples in the water
I see it now
I’m alive and I see
Pretty apparitions all around
It took me forty nights
To sweat the poison out of my skin
And if you’re wondering
I don’t know what place I finished in
There’s a shadow all around me
About a hundred bullets raining from the sky
It’s a sneak attack
But I saw it from a mile back
(Chorus)
Kick the ghost out
Of the lighthouse
Break the doors down
Check your pulse now

Welcome Home

Could’ve seen it coming
Even in the middle of the night
But you were too busy falling in
Love with such a comfortable lie
Now it’s coming for you
Our uninvited friend
Guess there’s nothing to do
But take that burning wind
The door is open
Don’t need a key, we’re all
Here and holding
Just come on in
This might be the end so
If you’re sick of being so lonely
Welcome home
It’s been too long since you
Had to make your lemonade
Didn’t know it but the
Helping hand was always
Pushing you along the way
Could go to the open
The familiar sin
Could accept the visions
And make something new again

Everything looks so strange
The man in my chair says that I’m insane
I don’t know where I am or when
Climbing the walls forever, can’t find the end
What did you say, all I heard was a muffled cry
The colors around me don’t make sense, they blink out of time
Walking backwards, checking out
The mirrors around me shield the sound
Someone's singing, bring your feet back down
I’ve seen this place before
Faces go by like a passing storm
Water it rises outside
Flooding the streets in a rushing tide
Thought it was only a game but now everything’s gone
I can’t remember the reasons it turned out so wrong
(Chorus)
I’ve got to find the road that
I drove on when I came here
Something is telling me it’s
All in my head, until I wake up I’ll keep
(Chorus)

Dragonfly

My old forbidden love
The face that haunts my dreams
Why’d you have to go and tell the truth
Now I’ll never be able to forget you
My old forbidden love
I’ll wrap you in my broken strings
My dragonfly with red painted wings
Stuck in a snow globe, the glitter falls around us
A welcome confinement, where no one can find us
Funny how my eyes perceive a fabricated memory
But you did create it, now nothing can save me
I need to find a way to
Make a back door to this place
Whenever I’m alone I’ll
Come right back to this home
The snow don’t bother me
If I freeze forever it’ll be with you
(Chorus)
Stop the clock, I need some time to memorize
A faded outline, but easy to define
The contours too familiar, from all the good times with ya
Getting closer to a picture in my mind

Midnight Memories
03:31
|
|||
|
I found a picture from last fall
Thought I threw them all away
Between the mattress and the wall
A lonely image of your face
There was a time when I could see
The things extended past the edge
But after months of moving on
The printed colors are all that’s left
Blue fog in the air
Moonlight shows me where I’m going
Another hour on the road
Don’t know what cities pass me by
Just need to find you once again
To remember forgotten time
Blue fog in the air
Moonlight shows me where I’m going
Midnight memories
Somewhere on this stretching highway

Hungry Animal
04:24
|
|||
|
I can’t stop
My mentality
Craving that collision deep in my biology
There’s a hunger
Spreading through me
So give me something cause I’m
Running on empty
I can taste the memory
Though it’s so long ago
There’s nothing better than
The lonely stand-alone
I’m just a hungry animal
Got an appetite that
Nothing seems to satisfy
Just like a hungry animal
Gonna think of nothing
Else until I get mine
Inside the engine
You’ll hear it working
But the language isn’t spoken by the modern man
It’s ancient history
An old necessity
So if you’re breathing you should understand
I had to take the time
To learn the reasons why
The first is never best
You gotta work the line

Broken Pieces
02:53
|
|||
|
Take me
Back to the place where you found me
I’m dysfunctional but no point trying to
Fix it, just throw me away
My buttons
They all got pushed ’til they busted
The future is impossible, unlikely, maybe could be
But don’t bet on it
Island of the broken pieces
We’re not alone out here
There’s something watching me
We might as well start drinking
The night is coming soon
Fire
There’s a fire in the attic
How it started I don’t really know but
Guess I’m sleeping in the basement
Hold up, there’s a train that’s speeding
Towards the borderline
The doors are swinging out
Let’s jump and ride ’til morning
We’ll find a better place

December
03:51
|

|
I’m not the wiser mind
But if you tell me what to do, I’ll be there
Every time, got your message in a bottle - but there’s
Something I can’t make out
I need to hear it out of your mouth
Tell me now - cause I’m still
Dreaming of that dark December
Pictures and cryptic letters
Silent despite the feeling
That there’s some deeper meaning
Buried in the ground, when you’re
Talking to the screen, do they
Know what you mean, or am I
Reading into something that is
Just that simple
Hard to sleep - without you
Next to me
I need to breathe - but there’s
Something in the air
(Chorus)
I tried to let it go
But I can’t pretend that I feel
Nothing when I don’t
On a sunny summer day
I stay in and pray for rain
Swimming deep inside a dream
That takes me back to you

Outsiders
04:23
|
|||
|
Call me crazy
Call me names
There ain’t a single piece of
Mind you’re gonna change
No one can take away the
Infinite persistence of the
Dreams, when you learn what they mean
I know
They’re out there
Come down
And take me
I know
They’re out there
Outsiders in the empty
All around us
You’d never know
That the scenery is
Fabricated to the bone
The shade is falling
I turned it off
There’s something else beyond my
Vision, I can find it, I will
