Lose My Voice 03:43
lyrics
buy track
I wake up every morning with air in my throat Let it out when it don't matter Let it stagnate when I need it the most I think I find some words then wait till it's too late for them to be heard This voice its got dynamic This voice its got a range Its got something to say to somebody somewhere if I ever let it out of its cage I'll shout till I lose my voice or else I'll lose my voice for good I'll shout till I lose my voice before I lose my voice forever, oh waoh As my bones atrophy from lack of use, my eyes memorize the back of my eyelids and my lungs grow weak hidden within I'm sure they'll seal up soon But there's an edge, that I can't lose there's a point I can't compromise It seems these days it's do or die I guess it's time I choose I'll shout till I lose my voice or else I'll lose my voice for good I'll shout till I lose my voice I'll shout "I ain't got no choice, no choice nooo nooo oh waohwaohwaoh!" The silence isn't peace, it's death This silence isn't peace, it's death This silence isn't peace, it's death This silence isn't peace, it's death

So It Isn't Love 03:39
lyrics

I am the sun and you're the moon I bathe you in light, and you reflect back a pale sight but that ain't love I am the shark that you cling too Our symbiosis makes me swoon So I get clean and you get food But it ain't love No... But have no fear Love is a fickle thing, but we don't need to worry dear Your shoes look pretty and I love what you've done with your hair Weave your arm inside mine, darling and I'll pretend that I don't care that I'm the bullet And you're the gun You kiss me hard to get me started so I'll fly off to prove your aim was true But it ain't love I am the tea and you're the cup When we get close you warm me up and I bleed out until I'm done disposed and colder than when I'd begun 'cause this ain't love Yeah, this ain't love this ain't love JUST LIKE MATTER TO ENERGY, LOVE EXPLODES DILUTES THEN DRIFTS AWAY JUST LIKE THE EARTH SPINS ON EVERY DAY, WERE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER AND CLOSER TO NOTHING! You've already given up You cry to see but you glue your eyes shut You cry for purity, but you feel naked WITHOUT THE MUD! You cry for me now but how could this be love? You cry for me now but HOW COULD THIS BE LOVE? SO IT ISN'T LOVE, SO IT ISN'T LOVE WHO GIVES A FUCK, WHO GIVES A FUCK? SO IT ISN'T LOVE, WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK? NOT ME! IT'S JUST ENTROPY IT'S JUST ENTROPY, WHO GIVES A FUCK? NOT ME! NOT ME!! IT'S JUST ENTROPY, WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO GIVES A FUCK? NOT ME!!!

Outnumbered 04:41
lyrics

The bad ones make me numb And the good ones all die young It's what the great physicist ordered But it's not what I wanted My heads gone dumb and my stomachs turning They make you swallow the sun and ignore the burning I could be there, yeah I should be there But I'm a logical, bastard as always I need to see you! I need to make you know! It doesn't matter where you go and it doesn't matter where I am I need to see you! I need to make you know! That it's the two of as against the world and that Motherfucker's outnumbered! If you break your arm or if you break your heart Just call me up; I'll pick up every shard Life's an unttrained mutt; when you look away, it shits all over the carpet I need to see you! I need make you know! It doesn't matter where you go and it doesn't matter where I am I need to see you! I need to make you know! That it's the two of us against the world That Motherfucker's outnumbered!! I need to see you! I need to make you know! It doesn't matter where you go And it doesn't matter where I am I need to see you! I need to make you know! It's the two of us against the world, and That Motherfucker's outnumbered, Anne!!!! You got all the looks And just 'bout all the brains And a spark that's gonna start a fire Gonna burn into the sky twisting and spelling out your NAME! Oooooh oh IT'S GONNA BE OKAY! Oooooh oh IT'S GONNA BE AMAZING Oooooh oh IT'S ALWAYS BEEN AMAZING Oooooh AND I KNOW IT AIN'T GONNA CHANGE!!!!

What Now (Part 1 & 3) 05:24
lyrics
buy track
What now? What am I to do? I thought I always new what was right And my rightful place with you The air between our skin that used to mean nothin' it's thickened, it's conductin' somthin' and I'm so afraid to touch it Your a river How could I want you for myself? And when the winds change with the spring rains How could I ever be enough? You fell Softer than a cloud Eyes closed without a doubt unto me Your colors shapes and sounds We melt It isn't quite like you It isn't quite like me, what we've made And its beautiful and true What now? What am I to do? I thought I always knew who I was Now part of that means you Your a tapestry Woven from rocks and frogs and song If our story changes in the coming pages However long Real love is never wrong However far apart, our quilted hearts will bring some of you Will bring some of me I'll bring some of you along

Underground 05:39
lyrics

Live underground Try not to make a sound Their holy, white feet Trample all over me When they go, I am Finally alone, waiting in the stone I am stuck, finally In a place with no between I don't want you to see my face In the bad lighting of this place It's just me inside this city I don't need you're fucking pity Why can't you leave me alone? You know I never wanna go back home Forget your drills and fuck the shovels You don't know what it's like to see your life get leveled We'll talk after I see you fall through these frozen back halls I don't wanna die! Blinded by the light! I can't stand seeing you under all this earth What you think doesn't change how much your worth I'll push you away so you can touch the sky In a bright place where you can never die Don't look down on me I don't want you to see Don't look down on me There's nothing here to see Why can't you leave me alone? You know I never wanna go back home Forget your drills and fuck the shovels You don't know what it's like to see your life get leveled We'll talk after I see you fall through these frozen black halls I don't wanna die! Not in front of your eyes!

Octobers Passed 06:43
lyrics
buy track
Summers come and go But Winters leave marks on your bones God only knows I feel so damn old and sore But I'm in here again The warm box that keeps me out of the wind And every day I sleep more and more But this year I'm older than ever Lovers melt trails in the snow Warm skin to soften the edge of the cold My hearts burning up but I'm freezing in here alone But I'll get along Cold pavement treadmills with headphones on we'll pass each other like ships in the night 'cause I won't raise my eye The heat leaves the air and I can't help thinkin' 'bout her She might be dead and gone, but the part of her in me comes to life this time each year Just go on I'll catch up when I'm done Raise a glass, toast the last of Octobers passed The Summers come and go But Winters leave marks on your bones And God only knows I feel so damn old and sore But I'll get along Cold pavement treadmills with headphones on And we'll pass each other, like ships in the night 'cause I won't raise my eye The heat leaves the air and I can't help thinkin' 'bout her She might be dead and gone, but the part of her in me comes to life this time each year Just go on I'll catch up when I'm done Raise a glass, toast the last of Octobers passed Oooos
