SONG LYRICS


CALM DOWN

Now calm down my sickening son
and marry your ghost if you want
with secret desires of us
I want you to be left alone

until you find yourself
seek in the unknown

Now calm down you’re seeking the sun
you’ve travelled a long way from home
with secrets left inside of songs
I want you to find your way home

I have found many
places for hiding

Now calm down and sing us a song
and build it as long as you want
in secret empowered by god
I want you to sing us a song

about finding out
if I’m only one.


THE SUN

The culture shock, the doors were locked
you felt the sun, your face was hot
accept the show, we didn’t know how to grow
outside all alone,
never knowing quite what we were told
I am the sun

The pace was slow, the space was old
and since you left, my heart was cold
accept the show, we didn’t know where to go
outside all alone,
never knowing quite what we were sold
I am the sun

Then Anna felt the time was right
into the life, into the light
accept the show, we didn’t know where to go
outside all alone,
never knowing quite what we were told
I am the sun.


TIME STOPS

Time stops, my mind is frozen now
and you’re not here
this will have to wait again

Confusion turns delusional
it fuels the fire burning in my eyes
and through my heart
I don’t know why

If misery loves company
it’s your sympathy
why am I standing last in line

You arrive to find me shaking
in the corner, half dead
but half alive
in your eyes.


MAKE IT UP

We need some space, let’s make it up
and place it right in front of us.
With outside out or outside in,
this space is all that I got.

We need some air, let’s make it up
and she said heaven was above.
I fell through hell, it was the same,
now I know I’m the one to blame.

Now what’s your game and what’s the score?
Is this your plan or are you bored?
This mirror makes a lonely face,
now I can see me…god damn.

We need some help, lets make it up.
We’ll multiply and look for love.
Excuse me, Can I ask you for the time?
She said you’ll find out when you die…


ARE YOU A SIREN?

I saw the white skies, your deep eyes, and soul
but where did you go?
Are you a Siren, do you sing while you speak?
Well I’m getting weak
I saw your sketching eyes fixed on the pose
Your hand felt my heart and I felt the glow

I saw the island, your sharp rocks, and coast
sinking this boat
Are you a Siren, do you sing while you speak?
Well I’m getting weak
I know you saw the light below
This death you bring is all I want to know

Sometimes I like to tuck in my shirt, cause I like how it feels
Sometimes I like to cut myself deep, cause I want you to feel it

I saw the blood stains, your deep pain, and ghosts
shipwrecking souls
Are you a Siren, do you sing while you speak?
Well I’m getting weak
I came off all wrong again my “friend”
My God I can’t believe that this is the end
The End.


HOPE

Open up your mind and close your eyes
And see satellites
The sky is full of holes
The moon is home
And I am night
And you are whole
I hope you don’t mind if I pretend

It feels so alone on my way home
Without you here
I’d place both my hands upon your skin
It feels just like you’d pull me in
And I dont know where I begin

Ban common sense to foreign lands
We’ve got other plans…
Erasing your hope
Well, would you know
The light is shaking
It’s about to blow
I hope you will fight until the end.


THE VIOLENT WAY

You and me
in between
we like to find the answers
in a violent way

Are you my savior?
you’re like a gun
was it my prayers
that turned you on

Or was it my pain
a simple way
to take all your anger
assimilate

Cause when you know
you’re not alone
we’ll take all your anger
this microphone

It’s all in your name.


YOU AGAIN

I want to feel you again
I want to touch you
I want to see where I have been
I want to feel your shape within
I want to see you again

and carry on, and carry on…

I want to feel you again
I want to touch you
I want to feel where I have been
I want to feel your shape within
I want to love you again.


IN THE END

If god was a man
He’d know just what he’s running from
An hour glass of sand
And if the end will ever come
It may…

You know he’d like to stay alone in the end

If I was a man
I knew just what I was running from
A wasted lovers hand
And if the one will ever come today

You know I’d like to stay alone in the end

And god was a man
He’d know just what you’re running from
He’d take you by the hand
He likes to come for anyone who prays

You know he’d like to stay alone in the end.


I SAW A GHOST

I saw a ghost
and wanted to find out how
I wanted to go
It seems like I should know how

I saw a ghost
maybe I’d wanna find
If I’m all alone
buried in my mind

Every time we go I seed the breakup
I don’t know what we’ll find
I don’t wanna go back home
and find you living the same lie.


FOLK-STAR SUPERHERO

Dear Kathleen,
I wrote you this song so you could play along
I’ve heard you’re gonna be a rockstar soon
In a matter of weeks
When you’re picking and strumming to the folk
and you’ve got your soul on
I hope you can teach me to play like you

Dear Kathleen,
I wrote you this song so you can hum along
You sing, da da da da …
When you fill in the blanks with something that you love
and send it off into the world, my ears sing
I hope you can teach me to sing like you

When you’re filling in the blanks with something that you love
and send it off into the world, my ears sing
I hope you can teach me to sing with you.


SAME MIND

Locked out, there we are
It’s my time, I know
It’s like the same of us
It’s not letting go

We’ve got everybody
We’ve got the same lives
We’ve got the same minds

We’ve got everybody
We’ve got the same minds
We’ve got our own mind

It’s my time to go
It’s not hard so slow
We’ve got lots to learn
It’s got us alone

We’ve got everybody
We’ve got the same lives
We’ve got our own mind

We’ve got everybody
We’ve got the same minds
We’ve got our own mind

Locked out, there we are
It’s my time to go
It’s all dust and wind
We’ve got our lonely ghosts

We’ve got everybody
We’ve got our same minds
We’ve got the same time

We’ve got everybody
We’ve got our same lives
It’s not that long to go.


WHAT A DISASTER

What I go after
yeah, it grows, yeah it grows
and what I chase after
yeah, it goes, yeah it goes
What a disaster
yeah, it broke, yeah it broke


OUTLET

The sun is killing me
You know I want to go

The son is killing me
You know I want to go

The sun is killing me
You know I want to go

Ghost
you know
you won’t
calm down
you know
I know
you won’t
hang up your coat
I know
you feel
you wanna drop
and come down
and see round
and go
if you gotta go
you go
you go
come down below
you know
you come
calm down
and see round
I want you
to cosign
won’t go
I know you
gonna sink
I want you to go
