❍ lyrics ❍

Suddenly we are born
And suddenly we are gone

We feast for now
Should fate allow

Anything you want
One taste at any cost
It’s just a dream
Untouched and barely seen

Finally we are lost
Vanity cracked and crossed

We seek again
Not if but when

You gave up the ghost
Just when you need it most
Hung up inside 
With nowhere to run or hide
Anything you want
Is there hidden in the dark
It’s only a dream
Held just beyond your reach

one taste

❍ lyrics ❍

We were so happy forever
Just gotta keep the dream alive for another year
Cold and jaded but whatever
Come over, kiss the scene goodbye and disappear

Hazy LA river floating
Lazy, high and overflowing
We’re floating

Too late to fade, oh no never
Just maybe taken for a ride when we were here

Midnight empty city running
Everything we ever wanted
Hazy LA river floating
Lazy, high and overflowing
We’re floating

Midnight empty city running
Everything we ever wanted
Hazy LA river floating
Lazy, high and overflowing
We’re floating
We’re floating

empty

❍ lyrics ❍

Words wrap around
On the way back down
Hell of a year
Savage and silent hiding here
Yeah

Purple and red
Till the bulb is dead
Baby I tried
Pushing till I was purified
Promises and pride
Yeah

Cause we’re living in California
Like we’re trapped in a photograph
And everyone keeps changing
But you keep going anyways
But you keep going anyways

Summer never ends
With your special friends
Waiting in vain
Watching the sun burn out again
Yeah

Cause we’re living in California
Like we’re trapped in a photograph
And everyone keeps changing
But you keep going anyways
But you keep going anyways
But you keep going anyways
You keep going anyways

Summer never ends

purple and red

(silent)

❍ lyrics ❍

Drink the water
Until you’re clean
Hidden wonder
Come unto me
And stay a little longer

Soul secret
We’re safe out here
Slipping under
And reappear
So sleep a little longer
I can wait a little longer
I can wait a little longer

I know, I know
where you go
It’s too late, it’s too late
And the sun blows away
So we wait, we wait
And follow

I needed a friend
To carry me
To wash the sadness
Innocently
So stay a little longer
I can wait a little longer
I can wait a little longer

I know, I know
where you go
It’s too late, it’s too late
And the sun blows away
So we wait, we wait
And follow

wait

❍ lyrics ❍

No hate, no worries
Believe it or not, it’s cool with me
No shame, no hurry
Just pack your stuff
And leave your key

I’ll ring your phone
I guess there isn’t anybody home

No words, no wonder
You heard enough obviously
No shape, no color
It’s just physical memory

It’s weird I know
I thought it was a thing you really wanted
Thought you would fight for
Yeah call your phone
I guess there isn’t anybody home

No hate, no worries
It’s just physical memory

It’s weird I know
I thought it was a thing you really wanted
Thought you would fight for
In here alone
I had a little space to see the truth
Yeah thinking it over
And call your phone
I guess there isn’t anybody home

no worries

Thanks for listening :)

~ lyrics ~

Take off your face at the end of the day
Put away your voice in a little box
Now you don't need it after all
Walking alone in the hollow light
You could be someone else tonight
And I could do the same

Yeah...

Put another week in the wishing well

Yeah…

And run away from this wicked world

Shake off your chain like a little grey dog
Flutter through the night like a single moth
Into the freedom of the dark
Floating all alone like a fading song
Under the fever of it all
And I could do the same

Yeah...

Put another week in the wishing well

Yeah…

And run away from this wicked world

And we can hide
On the other side
Beneath the stars
Of a summer sky
It can’t be far…

It's all too much for me; 
the tack of history. 
The end of anything slow; 
the fate of everything I know. 

The pocket telephones, 
the emptiness in our homes. 
There's nothing here for me 
but empty fantasy. 

Don't call my name; 
I'm finally going back to 1980, 
where things are still the same. 

So take me far away, 
the hills of yesterday. 
The world before I was born, 
and I'll do anything I want. 

Don't call my name; 
I'm finally going back to 1980, 
where things are still the same. 

Don't be afraid; 
I'm only going back to 1980, 
where things are still the same.

• Lyrics •


The Village Priest marched over the hill with her,
to exorcize the demons there where no one could observe.
And all the children hid by the old big barn,
jumping out before the girl could come to any harm.

And The Village Priest just ran away,
I hope we meet again one day.
In any case, we'll always pray
for you.

Father Dearest sang of a Holy Land,
passing the collection plate among the weary hands.
And all the children gasped at a glimpse of gold,
peeking from the leather pouch hidden in his robe.

And The Village Priest just ran away,
I hope we meet again one day.
In any case, I'll always pray
for you.

No one could remember 
how long the man had been there.
Everybody searched high and low...

We heard a window crash at the edge of town,
and found the little chapel there burning to the ground.

And The Village Priest just ran away,
I hope we meet again one day.
In any case, we'll always pray.
We'll always pray...
for you.

• Lyrics •

A boy met a girl when he rang a little bell in a lullaby…
The girl raised her hand, singing “catch me if you can,”
and they both disappeared in the ringing of my ears.

They laughed and they played, and they treasured every day 
of the summertime.
And just as they kissed, she withdrew into the mist
and the boy stayed behind in the caverns of my mind.

And you’d never even know that he was there,
but I whisper to him softly and take him everywhere.

And the years went by but nothing ever changed.
He forgot about the girl and let the laughter drift away.

Then one sullen night, he perceived a little light in the corridor.
The girl raised a lamp and she took him by the hand

and we both disappeared, yeah we both disappeared…
we both disappeared, yeah we both disappeared…
we both disappeared, yeah we both disappeared…

• Lyrics •

Be careful what you wish for
cause you’re gonna get f*cked eventually.
Whatever it is you wanted,
chances are you don’t want it, actually.

Cause the grass is always greener
and the lips are always sweeter in a dream.
But you wake up in the morning
with nothing but a painful memory.

Be careful who you’re chasing
cause you’re probably just wasting your time.
And even if you get her, baby, nothing is forever,
and you change your mind.

Yeah, yeah...

Cause the grass is always greener
and the lips are always sweeter in a dream.
But you wake up in the morning
with nothing but a painful memory.

Cause the grass is always greener
and the lips are always sweeter in a dream.
But you wake up in the morning
with nothing but a painful memory.

• Lyrics •

Get a life and watch it burn.
Forget the point of no return.
You’re never coming back,
so keep on walking down the track.

Suck it up and get a job,
cause that’s what everybody does.
Nevermind the pain,
you’ll never come this way again.

And isn’t is easy to stay on top of the world when no one’s looking?
And isn’t it easy to sneak away when you’ve been left behind?

So close your eyes and wring your hands;
You never even had a chance
to show what you can do,
even though you wanted to.

And isn’t is easy to stay on top of the world when no one’s looking?
And isn’t it easy to sneak away when you’ve been left behind?
Isn’t it easy to elevate the things you should be doing?
And isn’t it easy to make the plan but never get it done?

So get a life like everyone.

Human Barbie
