Lyrics:
I caught a light inside a jar
Clutched onto in the dark
But it flickered out
When I tightened down
The lid 
I felt the tide come rushing in
Held the water to my thirsting skin
But it slipped through
My fingers
Couldn’t keep it
As much as I’ve so badly needed
I’ll lose it by trying to repeat it
A feeling
I’ll never know it
Never for more than a moment
Miss it by trying to own it
A feeling 
Days float by so quietly
Like abstract details of a dream
We never notice how they’re strange 
Till we wake
I've tried to photograph your gaze
The sudden flash was too abrasive made you
Turn away
I caught a blurry face
Couldn’t keep it
As much as I’ve so badly needed
I’ll lose it by trying to repeat it
A feeling
I’ll never know it
Never for more than a moment
Miss it by trying to own it
A feeling 
A feeling
A feeling
I caught a light inside a jar

Lyrics:
I've got the world inside the palm of my hand
Drift out into its tide and lay in its sands
Steady dose of sugar down the throat
It's sweet enough so rather than let go
I let it feed until I choke
Pray to the god inside the palm of your hands
Peer through its blinding light to know we're all damned
Easy goes, that sugar down the throat
It's sweet enough so I won't worry so
Let me feed until I choke
Polish the screen that I'll be seen through
If everyone likes me I don't have to
Open a wound and bleed out before you
To kiss it
Might fix it
Cuz I've got this world
I've got this world there's nothing it can't do
I've got this whole world
But I fear it's got me too
Steady dose of sugar down the throat
It's sweet enough so rather than let go
I let it feed until I choke

Lyrics:
Following the stream
Of Merlot down your cheek
And on your dress
It smears across your chest
And leaves an abstract mess
I’m oddly drawn
To it 
Yeah you
You look like hell
Oh but you
You wear it well
You wear it well
Too old to know the song
But still you sing along
The words all wrong
We kiss with open mouths
Like children learning how 
With no adults around
Yeah you
You look like hell
Oh but you
You wear it well
You wear it well
We get back
In time to tuck the kids in send the sitter home
And you crash
And drool into the carpet
And it’s perfect 
Darling you
You look like hell
Oh but you
You wear it well
You wear it well

Like Hell

Lyrics:
If I was a beggar
I’d be on my knees for you
Haggard and weathered down
From the grief you put me through
If I had a way with words
Then I might have said a few 
If I had known better
I’d know you

Know you 
Know how
You escaped your broken town
Your hidden scars
Your fear of growing old

If I was prepared for change
And ready to be new again
I’d wash off my summer sins
In the lake you used to swim
If you were less beautiful
Maybe I could look into
And if my eyes were open 
I’d see you

See you
See how
How you smile when broken down
Your hidden scars
Your fear of dying alone

I can live on in love with an idea
I would hate to ever lose you to
The truth
Know you

If I was a beggar
I’d be on my knees for you
Haggard and weathered down

Lyrics:
Shake your tail over my way 
Oh baby
There’s something I want to say
So hear me out
For now you won’t know what it means
Now do ya
It’s a phrase that I’ll repeat
To ya
Just some words in humanese
Oh sugar
Hoping one day they will be
At least familiar

All of this animal feeling
Bound by human words and meaning
Bursting through the narrow ceiling
Of little words with little meaning

I wish there was a better way 
Oh baby
I could properly convey
Every
Time I have to go away
That I'll be
Back again before the day
Is gone I won’t be long

When your ears hang 
And your tails beneath ya
I’ll speak human
But what I mean is animal

All of this animal feeling
Bound by human words and meaning
Bursting through the narrow ceiling
Of little words with little meaning

When your eye’s low
And your tails beneath ya
Laid on a cold metal table
I’ll speak and you’ll know
That what I mean is animal
Yeah what I mean is animal
It’s animal

Little Words

Lyrics:
Did I miss
Something you said
As I hurried out
Again
Something that I
Just didn’t catch
A farewell beneath
Your breath

Great escape
Held your tongue and slipped away
Out in the clear
Cuz had I known
I’d have never let you go
But I’d kill to hear
A goodbye

You waited by
My car in the rain
Expecting a ride
Away
We could’ve gone
Drove through the night
But I led you back
Inside

Great escape
Held your tongue and slipped away
Out in the clear
Cuz had I known
I’d have never let you go
But I’d kill to hear
A goodbye

Once
Once I had a dream
You came back to me
Like you never left
I didn’t get it

Can’t remember what it was
That was so important I had to rush away
Rush away
Could have given all my love
If we drove that day could’ve been enough
I could have made
A moment to say
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Goodbye

Lyrics:
I’ve been losing track of the days
I’ve spent floating in space 
Drinking through a straw from a bag
I open the blinds 
And watch the whole world gone mad
Watch the whole world gone

The whole world’s gone
Fucking mad

Used to call you home but now
I don’t recognize you
Have I been away
Dreaming for far too long 
Cuz I’m certain watching on
That the whole world’s gone

Fucking mad
The whole world’s gone
Fucking mad

What a lovely thing we had
It’s too bad
That the whole world’s gone mad

Has the whole world gone mad?
Has the whole world gone?
How the hours bleed into days
Has the whole world gone?
As I’m floating away
The whole world’s gone 
In a ship adorned with a flag 
(Fucking mad)
The whole world’s gone
A misleading ad
For an old world gone mad
(Fucking mad)
The whole world’s gone

So I’ll be away
Out in the vast beyond 
Hidden just behind the dawn
Till the whole world’s gone

World Gone Mad

Lyrics:
I'll lay here on the floor
And cry until I’m yours
Freak out and make a scene
I’ll kick and scream my head off while you leave

What am I if I’m not yours
What am I if not adored
What am I if nothing more

I’ll love you like a fool
Waiting to be used
Waiting for you
Until my body’s cold
I’ll devote what days I’ve left to
Hold you closer
Even if for a moment

What am I if I’m not yours
What am I if not performed
What am I if nothing more

What good am I
If all my crying
Can’t even get
You to smile
Chew up and spit
My fingertips
Like sunflower seeds
While I sit
And wait to be yours 
Wait to be yours
I’ll wait to be yours
Wait to be yours
Wait for it
I’ll wait for

Yours

Lyrics:
Ari bug my love
You had me from the start
You had me from the start
I’ve only known your smile
For just a little while
But I swear I’ll know it always

And so
I’m eager to grow
Old to know

Who you
Who you
Who will you become?
 
Elle bear
I swear
We were plucked from the same tree
내 장난꾸러기
Now I’ve never heard a word
That accurately describes
The way I felt to find you

And it’s strange
But I’m happy to age
So that I may one day know who
You’ll become

Who you
Who you
Who will you become?
Who you
Who you
Who will you become?

And so
I won’t mind getting old
Cuz that is when I’ll one day know who
You’ll become

Who you
Who you
Who will you become?

Who You Become

Lyrics:
I wanna see you in the dark
I wanna know you in a black out baby
And know how sick you really are
Watch you shape shift

I wanna see how you contort
When no one else is on the dance floor baby
You only smile when you’re sore
Or when your legs shake

But I just like loving you
Your breath is bated
I know you like it too
I’ll be your sadist
I just like loving you
Your body’s twisted
Begging me to be used
I’ll be your ruin
I just like loving you

I want to dig into your skin
Bury my head and let the cold air creep in
You only smile it when it stings
Don’t you think of letting go
Cuz I like it when you’re happy
And you’re happiest when you ache
Don’t know why it is
But pleased to give you pain

I just like loving you
Your breath is bated
I know you like it too
I’ll be your sadist
I just like loving you
Your body’s twisted
Begging me to be used
I’ll be your ruin
I just like loving you
I just like loving you

I wanna see you in the dark
I wanna see into your black heart baby
See how depraved you really are
Night vision

I just like loving you
Your breath is bated
I know you like it too
Call me your sadist
I just like loving you
Your body’s twisted
Begging me to be used
