Lights Out

Good morning, midnight
I missed you too soon
I woke up and lived,
I fell asleep and lived, again
Usher in an era of quiet dreams
nothing is forever,
that's what it seems
Good morning, streetlight
I missed you too soon
I am a race car mind
Give me fumes, I'll keep going
two hundred miles an hour
Usher in an era of quiet dreams
Nothing is forever,
that's what it seems
Lights out, lights out
I'd do anything right now
Lights out, lights out
To stop the clock from ticking
Lights out, lights out
To smell the rain at dawn
Lights out, lights out
(whisper whisper,
just breathe)

Telling Peter
03:32

If there's no ghost in the machine
then maybe
mind equals matter
Breathin' in vapours of serotonin
I'm not listening,
doctor
Gonna tell Peter at the gates,
I'm in love with my mistakes
If there's no ghost in the machine
then maybe, sometimes
mind equals matter
Don't you know a little goes a long way?
And the best medicine is laughter?
Gonna tell Peter at the gates,
I'm in love with my mistakes

Holes In The Sky
02:53
|
|||
|
Watchin' TV and talking 'bout work
We're more the same than different
How's it we're so defensive about change?
When you boil it down, we only read the headlines
I wonder what kind of music they listened to,
is it something you dance to?
Is it something you lay in the dark
and listen to in your bedroom?
We're 21st century people
Don't bleed the story out of our lives
Even if the self-proclaimed moral kinds scream
But I'm clean!
I wonder what kind of music they listened to,
is it something you dance to?
Is it something you lay in the dark
and listen to in your bedroom?
One of us poked holes in the sky
And I choked on a star
And nothing mattered
For I was small
Even if I believed
I was the world

Fishing

Don't wait for me,
I might not come home tonight
No hero from the silver screen
ever said what I would say
There's a balance of good and evil
All I've got is
my feet dangling off the edge
And sunshine on the water
Sunshine on the water
Jump right in,
like you're not afraid of Oxygen
No hero from the silver screen
ever said what I would say
There's a balance of good and evil
All I've got is
my feet dangling off the edge
And sunshine on the water
It's what I've always known

We're All Puppets
02:40

We're all friends here all the time, aren't we?
We're all smiles here all the time, aren't we?
We're all truth here all the time, aren't we?
We're transparency all the time, aren't we?
We're public relations, here, aren't we?
We're spin machine, here, aren't we?
We're lies and deceit, here, aren't we?
We're stage-managed theatrics here, aren't we?
We're facades, here all the time, aren't we?
We're crumbling walls, here all the time, aren't we?
We're exactly what we appear to be, aren't we?
We're all puppets, aren't we?
We're all puppets, aren't we?
We're all puppets, aren't we?
Aren't we?
Aren't we?
Aren't we?

I've Got Magic
03:15
|

|
"The Lake of Shining Waters" nearly ruined me
That's why I always stop to pretend
I've got magic
So I won't be afraid of myself
I've got magic
Isn't okay what we're all trying to be?
I'm sorry, I'm not myself inside this room
There's empty lungs
There's smiles and perfect teeth.
You're not missing much
I've got magic
To stop the bullets bringing sorrow to my head
I've got magic
Isn't okay what we're all trying to be?
I've got magic
Isn't okay what we're all trying to be?
I've got magic
To stop the bullets bringing sorrow to my head
I've got magic
Isn't okay what we're all trying to be?
I've got magic
Yeah I think okay's what we're all going to be.

City of Lost Love
05:31
|
|||
|
Sharing secrets by candlelight morse code
See you soon
Maybe it'll catch on,
a language only cool kids know
and we'll be on the inside,
looking out
Pulsing billboard
here lies the city of lost love
Disappear from the window
but your image is still there,
like projection burn
I wait,
You wander
Begging at the feet of your guardian angels
I can see their wings in this
Pinwheels spin us stories
we wanted to believe were real,
but it's just words
It's just words
I wait,
You Wander
I see how it needs to be

Let It Be Colours
05:53
|
|||
|
The city dreams and turns to autopilot.
Where's your spark, Mr Suit?
When did we lose the life I'd fallen in love with so?
If I had one wish, I'd wish for someone to notice.
When the sky cracks open,
I do too.
Sitting here in the rain,
Watching traffic, folding cranes
I built this empire,
I'll die beside its crumbling walls.
When he sees the rows of birds in the window,
the deal is sealed for me, In Rainbows
When the sky cracks open,
I do too
There's a thousand years of dirt caked on the sidewalk.
I'm tired of newsprint ways, slush-pool parties
and rabbit ear greys.
Instead of rain washing dirt from the streets,
Let it be colours
Let it be colours
Let it be colours
Let it be colours
Let it be colours
Let it be colours

Aeroport Souvenirs
04:05
|
|||
|
I lay in the dark with my eyes open.
It's one of those things, imagination,
it twists and it turns to bizarre places,
it comes and it goes whenever it pleases
I'll take, I'll take
myself there at the speed of thought
I know, I know,
One heartbeat at a time
Sit here, sit here,
and listen to the city hum
And now, and now
you're slipping away from me
I'm a square box to your New York loft
I collect friendships like aeroport souvenirs.
Nothing prepares you, years go by and years.
Dropping keychains absentmindedly in snow.
I don't wanna lose you, don't wanna lose you in the snow
I'll take
myself there at the speed of thought
I know,
one heartbeat at a time
Sit here,
and listen to the city hum.
And now, and now
you're slipping away from me
I'm a square box to your New York loft
It's never enough, how much I feel it
It's fuckin' stupid, how much I feel it
It's never enough, how much I feel it
It's fuckin' stupid, how much I feel it
It's never enough
It's never enough
Enough
Enough

Nobody's Talking
03:23

Nobody's talking anymore.
Nobody's talking anymore.
Nobody's talking anymore.
Nobody's talking anymore.
And that's okay.
You said
baby, nothing's more important
bring it back the way you found it
and if you see that its been broken,
bring me back the whole rhinocerous
Nobody's talking anymore.
Nobody's talking anymore.
Nobody's talking anymore.
Nobody's talking anymore.
And that's not okay.
Nobody's talking anymore.
Nobody's talking anymore.
Nobody's talking anymore.
Nobody's talking anymore.
And that's fucked up.
