LYRICS:
To get a hit you have to miss
He stole her future with a kiss
Tail clenched between your legs
Come splay yourself among the dregs
Falling up
Screaming down

I’m mad
So bad
Don’t let me
Protect me
Let Go
You Know
Don’t Let me
Come Get me


Silhouette in faded dark
A far off cough a distant bark
He pins you tight against a tree
Though your chest is tight your heart is free
Playing tough
Little girl, you ain’t so tough

I’m mad
So bad
Don’t let me
Protect me
Let Go
You Know
Don’t Let me
Come Get me


Baby leave me be
Your spell is wound around of me
A kaleidoscope of dreams
Frayed and ripped up at their seams
I’m falling down I’m screaming up
I’m playing rough but ain’t so tough
Careening, unseen, into a field
Unyielding in fruit but fruitful with glee
I guess by god I walk a solo road
Will you find me,
Will you find me,
Will you find me,
Will you find me...

Come Get Me

LYRICS:
All the secrets you keep
All the nights I couldn’t sleep
All the corners full of space
They need your words, they miss your face
I found elusive truth
The blue remains of you
You’re not a monster, I asked too much
And so you fled and left my burdened love, 

I fell x3
I fell, I fell, don’t tell-
Don’t tell

Poised, self-righteous pain
I stand to cast my blame
I lost the flame
That filled my days, kept the fear at bay
I tugged you and bugged you,
You came sure enough, I sunk into your seems
But the fabric of you never seemed to ring true
Two words, so damningly,
I fell x3
I fell, I fell, don’t tell-
Don’t tell

I Fell

LYRICS:
She tiptoes down the winding path
Suspended in the starry sky
Shining spirals everywhere
Cascading colours flowing from her mind
Her shaggy hair covers every inch
Of her wide unflinching eyes
Shapes reflected in her gaze
The restless whirling has her mesmerized

Go on deeper, imagination
Into a labyrinth only you know
Faster, faster, a constellation
No hesitation-let your mind go

Shackled to fleeting freedom, 
It is implanted in her mind
Tender talons taking hold
At first caressing, now they bind
Deluded fumbling for a path
Mad, unseeing, numb
Crazed by non-existent dreams
The darkness creeps, a crescendoed hum

Gone too deep now, sinking, drowning
Imprisoned, a maze ruled by your mind
Crawling, crying, twisting, trying
The more you stir- the further you fly



She’s walking, she’s speeding
She’s running, now fleeing
She’s flying away in a haze, no retreating
Falling, imploding, now back in her head
The first tentative steps towards
The same story again
I’m coming back, coming back, coming back, coming back
Reality’s a bitch I can’t afford to lose
And pain’s all I am but I’m better for that
‘Cause I’m here again
Victorious, glorious, powerful
Time to begin

I am better, a rising sandstorm
Dull and dormant no more
Hurling, hurtling, my strength is bursting
I hold the key now- to life’s relentless door.

Into The Wild

LYRICS:
Up in a faraway tree,
Beyond the edge of an astral dream,
On an endless boundary,
There's a space for you and me.
I place you on my wishing chair,
I run my fingers through your hair.
I wonder if you're really there,
To face the fear of feeling bare.

If I were to leave you alone,
If I were to find my own way home,
If I turned out the lights, shut off my phone,
Would you still be there?

I'm aching for you,
My tongue wants to taste,
All the things you can do,
I'm thawing your ice,
It's your turn to spin,
Your turn to roll the dice.

I know I'm pretty far from perfect,
A flower growing on an atom bomb.
And though you might not think I'm worth it,
I'm begging you to not stay gone,
If you love it, set it free,
But those words don't mean that much to me.
Is it even such a crime to wanna be at your side?

If I stopped checking up on you,
Left you to do whatever things you'd do,
If I let you go and chase the rain,
Left you and let go of fate,
Would you still be there?

Now I see you're pretty far from perfect,
All the times you let me get it wrong,
And though you might not think I'm worth it,
I can see where you got that from.
If you love it, set it free,
And maybe that's how it's gotta be,
Is it even such a crime,
To let you go and say goodbye.

Countdown

LYRICS:
I don’t wanna be home, don’t wanna be alone
Just wanna feel the moan of your loneliness
I don’t wanna be in, don’t wanna be shit
I just wanna live as I see fit

Oh, save me from myself, boy I need your help
Been roaming since I fell from hell

And the word is good, the book is good
Misunderstood
From centuries of translation
And the fire it burns, the liar he turns
I’m unconcerned 
With carnal fornication

Whisper words x4
It’s absurd x4

I just need your embrace, just need an escape
Don’t wanna feel the taste of this stagnant day
I just need to unwind, just need to feel surprised
Don’t wanna pass the time in unbridled crime
Of, give me a relief, your worn-out expertise
I’m searching for a clean disease

And the store is good, the lord is good
Misunderstood
By useless exploration
And the choir it sings, it falters and rings
Indicating
A spineless occupation
