trust what I say
don't think 
trust what i say
trust what I say
don't think 
just trust what i say 
after I'm done
you'll wanna run
like every other time

i've got you now
love me
i've got you tight
step through the door
death's on your right
love is a fist
(tell us when we're done)
when you're drained and I've won
and I'll return you to the ground

Tell Us When You're Done (2016)

We ran from place to place
Dressed up for occasions 
Was it she who said
Some be dead
Some be fed
And the monsters hedge their bets
A bum deal in red lace
Close the case with lead
Breathing dust
Saving face
to try so 
hard
when there was no other
way forward
and we never got up off the floor

...and after your flight
Your promise
A stillborn
Red and gold unite
Some be dead
Some be fed
It's just ahead
 
Some be fed

Some be Dead Some be Fed

I love this tune by Swankyxvz so I put some violins over the recording.

Check her out and follow her project at https://soundcloud.com/user-574764134

"Falling" by Swankyxvz With Violins by OrangeBetsy

We couldn't make it work, and the day came when she flew away.
Love lost and a relationship at its end? 
A personal discovery and a spiritual realization?

Violins and electric bass playing natural harmonics.

Something lost and found
In the space between the pages
The man believed his luck ran out
Hope surrendered fast
She said she’s going places
And I looked
But I never found
Looking out the door
Looking in the mirror
A stranger who keeps my soul bound

Departure Gate

No one told Ted
New age was dead
Now he’s oppressed
I bet I know what you feel

Ted wanna go out and see the world
Off to see some new place
Then I will have some space

I will drive you to the bridge with a stone
If it would help get rid of you
If Saturday comes and you’re down in hell
Tell me all about the view

Karen is high
(Luke is in the kitchen drinking)
Higher than the sky
(Mike is in the mood for candy)
Mike told a guy
The 22nd place of π

Everyone seems to shift and float
Since I got to this place
And Barnaby’s got no face

They would drive me to the bridge with a stone
If it would help get rid of me
If Saturday comes and I’m down in hell
Give my best regards from me

I will drive you to the bridge with a stone
If it would help get rid of you
If Saturday comes and you’re down in hell
Tell me all about the view
