Neon Lights (Vivid)
02:48

Citrus streets, I’ve always known
This deal was done a long time ago
Vivid interruptions break the atmosphere
I’ve had enough of listening to what I don’t want to hear
I vividly remember this routine I’ve seen before
Vividly remember
I recall
Electric blue neon lights
It’s all I want, an electric night
These vivid interruptions break the atmosphere
I’ve had enough of listening to what I don’t want to hear

A Portrait
02:41
|
|||
|
If you’re running out of time
And there’s something on your mind
Always wanting so much more
Is your life really such a bore?
Do you have the courage to say that it never went away?
Take or leave it on your own, someone to rely on
If you’re coming down again
And you can’t stand all your friends
You can turn my world to fire
Turn your hatred to desire

Rhododendron

I think about you all the time
Am I ever even on your mind?
I don’t think that you care
Do we even have anything now that we share?
I take it back
I’ll take it back
What I said
But I think that you are wrong on this one
I dream about you all the time
You are always on my fractured mind
But I don’t think that you care enough
To see just who I am

Absent Mind
03:35
|
|||
|
Thinking about past mistakes
And mumbling to myself again
Four horsemen couldn’t drag me
Any further in
I don’t mean to be so absent
I’m just in a daze
(Just in a daze)
I don’t mean to be vacant
But I can’t get away
I don’t mean to be so absent
I’m just in a daze
(Just in a daze)
I don’t mean to be vacant
But I can’t get away from this
A revelation came to me at night
It proceeded to state
Please trust in your memories
Before it gets too late

Feels Like Fire
03:04
|
|||
|
Breathing in barbed wire
Tastes like burning, feels like fire
We start out early, end up late
Act so wild with no restraint
Drinking to the evening sun
As the night goes on
We know the moon will come
Don’t let this all end
Don’t let this night end
Iridescent talking
As we end up walking
To a brand-new destination
Same old fire, new location
Telling such great stories
But I’ve heard it all before
Even though I’m so familiar
This could never bore me

Blue Skeleton
03:18
|
|||
|
Am I ever gonna find another way?
Looking in the mirror
Listening to your old records once again
Cut my hair back
Put my old jeans on
Never gonna be the same again
Or is this just the way that I am?
As I walk down the hall of mirrors
Reflectors charging, left and right
No amount of hope can hold them back
Never gonna be the same again
Or is this just the way that I am?

I always knew I spoke too soon
That this really wasn’t through
You needed so much more
You wanted things like they were before
In a way, this always was so true
A thousand words return to you
I watch you falling back
I hate this constant sense of relapse
Draining me down
Ultramarine
The worst thing that I’ve ever seen
A fractured, failing scream
Silent alarm
A different kind of memory
I always knew I spoke too soon
In denial that this was true
I need so much more
I need it to not be like it was before

Sunflower
02:48

If you go your own way
I will paint the town red and blue
If you decide to stay
I will paint it your way
Any colour you choose
Any colour you choose
I will do what you want me to do
Any colour you choose
Any colour you choose
Because I just want you
A sunflower in your room
Left to decay from bloom
A sunflower in your room
While I’m drunk again and blue
Over you
Over you
