Bloom

If you don't mind 
Then come in close
Take one last breath 
Before the air makes you choke again
And it's ugly simple beautiful 
Cause in your eyes are dials with diodes
Beaming light way out past the line

Ooh in my mind
Ooh that certain kind

Doesn't shine like it used to
But you know we’re getting used too
It's the bitter end

Last open door 
Left out at the station
Wild things they play 
They love their creations
So many faces without any patience

Come on and run with me

It's a mistake to not try and chase it
Dazed and confused from your life and its placement 
Sell you a song but what we’ll play is sacred
If smoke lets you breathe you wouldn’t waste it

So many things get lost in translation
Riding the rails with no destination
We carry the weight of our limitations

Come jump the fence with me

Stayed up all night
Thinking it over
Lead my new friends 
Though a field full of clovers
Hours felt like days but we’re still getting closer
If smoke lets you breathe
Just be a smoker

Maybe you need a new indication
Follow the sky
Instead of the pavement
You don’t have to wait for my invitation

Stare at the sun with me

Slavin away your body's abused just
Give it a break and dance to the music
Don't be afraid 
Resisting is useless

If smoke helps you see 
It's an illusion

Lyrics:
One way downtown
Hey, could I catch a ride?
One way out now
Hope it ends with a sweet surprise

'Cause I'm 
On my way there now
On my way there now

One more drink, please
I need my liquid pride

'Cause I'm 
On my way there now
On my way there now

One way downtown
Hey, could I catch a ride?
One way out now
Hope it ends with a sweet surprise

'Cause I'm 
On my way there now
On my way there now

Lyrics:
Have you met my good friend Dave?
He’s coming to the camping trip
There’s one thing I have to say
He’s got lycanthropy
Which means…

Don’t let him go out at night
(Don’t let him, Don’t let him)
Especially in the full moonlight
(Don’t let him, Don’t let him)
He’ll eat you right on sight
Don’t make me tell you twice

Cause my best friend is a werewolf
(Aaahooooooo...)
Dave the Werewolf

Cause my best friend is a werewolf
(Aaahooooooo…)
Dave the Werewolf

Dave’s got himself a girl
Her name is Stephanie
They met up on Tinder
But I wonder if she knows the rules
That I said

Don’t let him go out at night
(Don’t let him, Don’t let him)
Especially in the full moonlight
(Don’t let him, Don’t let him)
He’ll slash you right on sight

Don’t make me tell you twice

Cause my best friend is a werewolf
(Aaahooooooo…)
Dave the Werewolf

Cause my best friend is a werewolf
(Aaahooooooo…)
Dave the Werewolf

Cause my best friend is a werewolf
(Aaahooooooo…)
Dave the Werewolf

Cause my best friend is a werewolf
(Aaahooooooo…)
Dave the Werewolf

Dave (The Werewolf)

A song about love at first sight gone wrong with an island jam-band feel and an EDM break.
