I wanna suffocate Inside your warm embrace I wanna feel your love Parading through my veins I want your scent on my collar to breathe when you're away I wanna suffocate I'll breathe another day There you are my sweet release They've been cruel keeping you from me But I want you back (Take me back around the bend) Yeah I need you bad (Love you till the very...) End I wanna suffocate Inside your warm embrace I wanna feel your love Parading through my veins I want your scent on my collar to breathe when you're away I wanna suffocate I'll breathe another day There you are My sweet disease I've been dying to die at your feet Cuz I want you bad (You're my one and only friend) Yeah I need you bad (Love you till the very...) End I wanna suffocate Inside your warm embrace I wanna feel your love Parading through my veins I want your scent on my collar to breathe when you're away I wanna suffocate I'll breathe another day Take me back around the bend Love you till the very

Preacher's boy who fell into The well behind his father's house He wouldn't dare to cry out In fear the beast would find him out And slither down Now we all get lost Now we all get lost After days the devil came Bit his side and broke him down He cried until his tears would fill The well and he was free To finally swim out Now we all get lost Now we all get lost Now we all get lost

Play 05:16 video
We meet for drinks at day time For the first time And all my lines you've heard About a dozen times before If I could make You want me I could be myself at last It's a play And we're just reading lines from the first act But we don't have to play along We could get by on our own So could we just not play along And when your salad Hits the table I sense The regret that you will be Starving later When all I want is Is to connect to something real Then I'll go on about the weather If I could take You by the hand and pull you close to me Then I could shake This feeling like we're playing out a scene But we don't have to play along We could get by on our own So could we just not play along Because we both know where this goes Now we don't have to play No we don't have to play along We kiss beneath the moonlight And for the first time I can feel light enough To just be carried by the flow If I could make You want me maybe you could want to stay If only for a moment of a day Just long enough to shake these nerves away If I could It's a play And we don't have to play along Along Along No we don't have to play

When we have gone on From the earth Like all of it's creatures we are Fed on By the earth And all of it's creatures and so on And so it goes Some say we all get to go Back home Back into the infinite Spaces in between The edges of what we know And what our eyes couldn't see Come find me When we are long gone From the earth And all of it's troubles we may Be gone So it goes And some say we all get to go Back home Back into the infinite Spaces in between The edges of what we know And what our eyes couldn't see When we are long gone Back into the infinite Spaces in between The edges of what we know And what our eyes couldn't see Come find me Come find me Come find me Come find me

When did I get used to Hiding my face smiling with my eyes Knowing the world through A screen in my palm as the time ticks by Pretending to know I cozy up beneath the static haze Bury my head in the hive Take time away from what I love to make Time for something maybe someone will like Pretending to know you I must have gone under (in a sleep) Ages ago now I wake to find (that everywhere I see) Everyone's tired (On their knees) My friends all replaced their moms for wives Now I miss believing In something too good to be true There's just no place for A myth in the modern view I cozy up beneath the static haze Bury my head in the hive Take time away from what I love to make Time for something maybe someone will like Pretending to know you And yet when we see each other in the flesh We barely say a word And if we do it's hollow Make plans that we both know We don't intend to follow I'd miss you more If I wasn't used to Pretending to know you I cozy up beneath the static haze Bury my head in the hive Take time away from what I love to make Time for something maybe someone will like Pretending to know you

Good For You 04:44
I watch the color of your cheeks begin to change And your eyes go soft when being held I watch your frame contort with rapture when you kiss And it's cruel cuz I feel my own dissolve as you hold onto his Now If I Was not Paralyzed I could be good for you I could be good for you But I won't be better He pulls you in close and he whispers something in your ear Whatever it is it makes you smile Just cuz they're words I'd never dare to confess It doesn't mean that he somehow means them any less Now If I Was not Paralyzed I could be good for you I could be good for you Now I could be good for you I could be good for you But I won't be better I watch in awe as he somehow locks into your eyes Where do you find that kind of courage It's like staring right into the sun god knows I've tried I never could despite how much I crave it's late If I tried I could be good for you I could be good for you I could be good for you But I won't be better...no

Are you ok I've never seen you this way Wide eyed and weary You used To carry me You used To carry me Around Time Will make children of us all Time Will make children of us all Are you alright I've never seen you in this light Carved in my memories how You used To carry me So easily So I I'll carry you This round Time Will make children of us all Time Will make children of us all The summer will fade into the fall Time Will make children of us all Are you ok It's not like you to be afraid Old age is scary Cuz you used To carry me So easily So I I'll carry you You used To carry me You used To carry me So I'll carry you I'll carry you You used To carry me carry me So I'll carry you I'll carry you This round Are you ok

Gala 05:20 video
We were wrapped In the warmth Of a day dream Like a newborn Sound asleep Til someone pulled the sheets away We were cool In the shade Of ambition Of what could be made By desire made us tired And wishing never got us well Well And now I lie awake Most nights Wishing I could cut these tethers If I could sleep Well then I could dream I’d dream of ways to sleep forever I’ll lie and wait For the world to end Never mind (never mind) My strange hesitation (every time) As you plot out the days Still ahead How I dread Breaking your heart again It’s not you That I can’t Quite imagine For the first dance It is me I don’t see Making it to dance with you You Cuz now I lie awake Most nights Wishing I could cut these tethers If I could sleep Well then I could dream I’d dream of ways to sleep forever I’d lie and wait For the world to end If I could only be holy again If I could only be whole again If I could only begin again
