The Red Sun

And the sun
Rises again
As the world keeps turning
And the sun
Rises again
As the world keeps burning
Waste my time
Say goodnight
There's nowhere left to run
The red sun

Floating Place

I am giving up
In some floating place
Float in space
Take me over
Put me under
Take me for a ride
I’ll send you photographs
And postcards from another time
And sign my name like strangers do
I am giving up
In this floating place
Float in space
Take control
Or eat me whole
And take me home
I’ll crash like tidal waves
And wash up on the shore
And wait until i’m something new
Please don't worry if i tell you i might die
I know i’m losing touch but look at me i’m fine
I’m just waiting for a spark
Please don’t ask me if i want to come again
You know the answer so just call me when we’re friends
I’m waiting patient in the dark
Take me to the sunset
Take me to the seaside cliffs
Take me to the place where all those happy strangers live
I am giving up
In some floating place
Float in space
Take me over
Put me under
Take me for a ride
I’ll send you photographs
And postcards from another time
And sign my name like strangers do
I am giving up
In this floating place
Float in space
Take me out and
Take me down
Lay me on the green
I run my fingertips through
All the spaces in between
And close my eyes until you’re through

Bloom

Memories tapestries of the past
Joy and sorrow hand in hand are clasped
Yes we know all good things too shall pass
But we sing and we dance while it lasts
Memories tapestries of the past
Joy and sorrow hand in hand are clasped
Yes we know all good things too shall pass (I will carry you on through the storm)
But we sing and we dance while it lasts
I will carry you home through the storm
Bloom and flourish
Come alive alive
In the light the light
I will carry you
on through the storm
Blossom burst
Into the sky the sky
Hold me tight tonight
I will carry you
home through the storm
Bloom and flourish (Memories)
Come alive alive (tapestries)
In the light the light (of the past)
I will carry you (joy and sorrow hand)
On through the storm (in hand are clasped)
Blossom burst (yes we know)
Into the sky the sky (all good things)
Hold me tight tonight (too shall pass)
I will carry you (but we sing and)
Home through the storm (we dance while it lasts)
I will carry you (yes we know all)
Home through the storm (good things too shall pass)
I will carry you (but we sing and we)
Home through the storm (dance while it lasts)

EO:
It’s too late driving down your heart rate
It’s gotten way past unsafe
Past unsafe
And I know what you’re thinking
I know you said that you’d stop drinking
The lines show the wine flows
Beneath your lids sentences are sinking
They’re sinking
VIRIDIAN:
Violet
And golden glowing
You’re glowing
Sunset in the summer
Death in the afternoon
Cuz i don’t wanna be alone
And i can tell you’re lonely too
So we can spend another night
Spend another night
EO:
I can’t stay
Do you still remember your own name
Love-lorn drunk pretender
And your eyes are all unfocused
They’re starting to take notice
The night falls way past last call
It’s killing you, you know it yeah you know it
Yeah you know it
VIRIDIAN:
Violet
And golden glowing
You’re glowing
Sunset in the summer
Death in the afternoon
Cuz i don’t wanna be alone
And i can tell you’re lonely too
So we can spend another night
Spend another night
EO:
In the dimness of my empty mind
Linger memories of a different time
I’ll hug you when I see you on the other side
It’s too late now to hitch a ride
Back to safe harbors burning ardor
A body floating on the tide
On the tide
VIRIDIAN:
Violet
And golden glowing
You’re glowing
Sunset in the summer
Death in the afternoon
Starlight
For one more moment
I know you’ll
Leave me in the morning
But you’re silver in the moon
Cuz i don’t wanna be alone
And i can tell you’re lonely too
So baby stay another night
Stay another night with me

I'll be in the backseat
Glasses off
Watching the headlights
Cut through the fog
Take my glasses off
In the backseat
I’ll be watching the halos
You can count on me
Cause I've been living so long
Like all I've got is tonight
Chasing the dawn
Trying to get it right
Taking advice
Tryna get help
Stealing these words
From my better self
It's not a lie
Just not the truth
And I've been spitting out myself
Like I'm some rotten yellow tooth
And it's not fair
It's just the price
Paying back the loan
For all that building up a life
So I'll be in the backseat
Glasses off
Watching the headlights
Cut through the fog
Take my glasses off
In the backseat
Watching the halos
You can count on me
I said I’d never fade
I’d never sink like a stone
So I’ve been holding too tight
Until my skin turns to bone
I won’t look back
Won’t take the straight road
Keep moving forward
Let the lights guide me home
I’m not the first
Won’t be the last
Keep me in your pocket
When the world starts getting fast
But I’m not sad
Well that’s not true
But if you need me I’ll be there
Cuz a good sadness pulls me through
And I'll be in the backseat
Glasses off
Watching the headlights
Cut through the fog
Take my glasses off
In the backseat
I’ll be watching the halos
I’ll be watching the halos
You can count on me

My
My
Do me one last kindness
Swear you'll let me drown
Grab my ankles darling
Drag me back down
It's easy in the morning
But the Sun will fade away
How am I supposed to go on
My head
How am I supposed to go on
My head
How am I supposed to go on
My head
How am I supposed to go on
My head

(Run away)
(Run away)
(Run away)
The voices in my head are growing louder everyday
And one of them keeps telling me
That I should run away
He bought a knife just to keep
I'm never gonna sleep
(Run away)
(Run away)
(Run away)
(Run away)
I'll drive into the desert
And I'll drown among the cacti
Fuck I'm never coming back I
I don't have a reason
But I just keep dreaming
Of monsoon season
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(I don't have a reason)
(To dream of monsoon season)

Naked For The Sea
05:44
|

Last night the sea outside my window
And the rain echoed the waves upon the glass
Last night the sand was just a graveyard
The grains all little dead things gone to pass
Never turn your back upon the ocean
Respect the ancient waves with careful fear
Never turn your back upon the ocean
Keep her in your soul and keep her near
Do me one last kindness
Swear you'll let me drown
Grab my ankles darling
Drag me back down
In the riptide in the deep
I'll be naked for the sea
In the riptide in the deep
At the end of all things
Last night I ran down to the water
Prayed to the sea to be alone
I dreamt of drowning in a letter
And the message in a bottle brought me home
Never turn your back upon the ocean
She'll pull you in and tear your hope apart
Never turn your back upon the ocean
That crashing love is always in my heart
Do me one last kindness
Swear you'll let me drown
Grab my ankles darling
Drag me back down
In the riptide in the deep
I'll be naked for the sea
When the water kisses me
Between the covers and the sheets
In the riptide in the deep
At the end of all things
At the end of all things
At the end of all things
Of all things
Do me the kindness
Of letting me drown
Grab hold of me tightly
And drag me back down
In the riptide
In the depths
At the end of all things

Vicious Muse
04:00

I don't know where we are gonna go
Most days I can't remember where we came from anyway
What more can I say
You were my vicious muse
The only way to get through life is if I'm being used
You were the end of everything
How am I supposed to go on?
How am I supposed to go on?
You were my vicious muse
You said the only way to get through life is use or I'll get used
You were the end of everything
The world is going wild
The world is going nowhere
How am I supposed to go on?
How am I supposed to go on?
How am I supposed to go on?

To Gustave, With Love

I've been feeling stuck again
Between the whirlpool and the beast
Been staying up till sunrise
For my lover in the east
Anise seed and apples
That honeysuckle breath
Sweetest in the universe
Lavender and cigarettes
I'll see you in the bottle
The best money can buy
I'll see you in the bottle desperate man
Les Romantiques m'ennuient
Est-ce que tu cherches un ami?
tu sais qui va t'abattre
si tu es l'ennemi
Alizarine le matin
La nuit est vert-de-gris
Courage dans ton sang
amer dans ton esprit
Les étoiles brillent ce soir
Et la pluie, c'est beau
Viens chanter la nuit
Et te sourire à nouveau
It's easy under starlight
But nothing ever lasts
Whistle in the dark until
You're laughing at the past
Je vais te verser un verre
Du vin le plus chère
Et nous boirons ensemble, Désespéré
Ares and viridian
I take it all with pride
G-d and all the goddesses
Excedrin suicide
Fetishize your misery
Poison in the proof
I'd tell you that I'm sorry
But my love I'll tell the truth
It's time to face the music
You're not ready to be done
Still waiting on a hero
And your heroes all died young
I'll see you in the bottle
The best money can buy
I'll see you in the bottle desperate man
