Fixated

Take it or leave it
The pit of your stomach
It’s a lesson that you’re ready to learn
Tear it to pieces
Then tape it together
And throw it on the fire to burn
Would you believe it?
A porcelain statue to smash on the wall
and break to bits
Said it was coming
but then it was nothing
and over it all I pitched a fit
nothing is sending
and nothing receiving
It’s a message that you never return
Wish I was sure
but it's always whatever
And no one ever gathers the nerve
Would you believe it
A porcelain statue to smash on the wall
and break to bits
Such a relief like a kick in the stomach
in telling me all of this is fixed
No I wouldn't trade you for the world
No I could betray you with a word
So loud…
when the arms are reaching out
So hide
So hide me somewhere safe
Tear it to pieces and tape it together
Would you believe me
if all I ever did was make a fist
Said it was coming
and then it was nothing
and now it ends like this
nothing is sending
and nothing receiving
a message you’ll never return
Wish I was sure
but it's always whatever
and now you’ve got the nerve
No I would betray you with a word

Make me feel like I’m your favorite
Just like I belong
Don’t consider it a secret
Don’t consider it a wrong
Was there ever any question
was there ever any doubt
When the fear is on the inside
Don’t forget to pull me out
We’re the same, you and I
Seems just like we are tied at the waist
Most of the time…
I don’t know just when to stop
Make me feel like I’m your favorite
Make me feel like I belong
Don’t consider it a secret
Don’t consider it a wrong
When you’re finally speechless
Was it ever really loud
When you hear it on the inside
Don’t forget to pull me out
Now I just wanna see for myself
This television’s just like a wolf
Get up get outta the house today
There’s nothing left to say
What a wonderful lie
Was it torture inside
would it eat you alive love
To give us all a smile

Hold Tight
04:08
|

7:30 on a Friday night
We were early we were first in line
And we were the last to leave that night
Hold tight
my lover
slow dance
isn’t over
Let’s stay
another hour
No light no shadow
What kills doesn’t matter
This kiss that shatters
And we talk about it everyday
One another in our way
We consider it a good thing now
No light
no shadow
Just this what matters
Let’s stay
another hour
Hold tight
my lover
slow dance
isn’t over
Let's stay here forever
And we talk about it everyday
One another in our own way
We consider it a good thing now
No light
no shadow
Just this what matters
Let’s stay
another hour
No light
no shadow
what kills doesn’t matter
this kiss that shatters
No light
no shadow
what kills doesn’t matter
this kiss that shatters
Oh! Let it last!
Let it last…let it last forever!
Oh! Let it last!
Let it last…let it last for good!

Laissez-Faire
05:00
|

I look away
There’s no question about it
You’d never say
But I always doubted
Right in between
What was in what was out
So laissez-faire
As you stand there shouting at me
Just like an iron chain
I know you feel the same
Jealous and a bit ashamed
I got back to my old way
What on earth are the chances of how you landed
Every time that you tell me
It’s like you planned it all along you’re wrong
I'm not so threatening anymore
Just like an iron chain
I know you feel the same
Jealous and a bit ashamed
I got back too my old way
Fuck your super powers
I’ve got powers of my own
I can hide inside a bottle
I can drive myself home
It’s whatever kind of magic
it’s whatever mystery
I can stand inside the chaos
and be totally at ease
And you see I’ll set you free

A Hush... Then A Riot
04:39

When you’re getting used to nothing
it’s always good to get something
so you better take it now won’t last for long
Another penny worth spending
another hole that needs mending
I hate to say it but I knew
it wouldn’t last for long
Up and down they trace circles on your back
Guess he wasn’t at the party?
Was he the last to know?
And if he said that he was coming
He would just stay home
When he was young he had a blood lust
He didn’t need to know
and even if he got invited he would still not show
Up-and-down tracing circles on your back
And no one ever decides for you it’s time
Holding on forever I’m holding on
if no one ever takes sides with you that’s why
I hear you saying that you are wounded
I think you’re crying over nothing
I think that all of this is only just to waste my time
And when I feel I’m getting somewhere
you make me feel like it’s a car crash
And if I looked the other way it won't do much good
Up and down our circles on their track
And no one’s gonna decide for you this time
Holding on forever I’m holding on
If no one ever confides in you that’s why
You can say whatever your secret’s safe with me
If it takes forever to tell your truth to me
You can say whatever your secrets safe with me

Mazes And Monsters

The more it goes on
the stranger it gets
No tap on the shoulder
no look who it is
It rolls off the tongue
gets stuck in the chest
You get so distorted
you’ve gone off your meds
They crawl out from
Things I rifle through
They’re falling from
corners in the room
They scare me to death
and I’ll admit they always will
To block out the sun
You’ve thrown up your hand
And when it got colder
You took to the air
Oh, a ticking time bomb
We’re living in fear
When you’re in the room
they all disappear
Fear is out of season once again…
How long must we wait?
They crawl out from
Things I rifle through
They’re falling from
corners in the room
They scare me to death
and I’ll admit they always will
How long must we wait?
Say something
to make me feel alright
The sound of the radio at night
For all that is holy,
stay and don’t turn off the light

Starboard

Throw me out and reel me in
You know I’ve been a fool
Tear the line that stretches out
That runs from me to you
Don’t give up on me
I’ll do just what you say
This star that shines
only for you
Waves that push against me
when I break another rule
Tow the line
and I’ll float away from you
Don’t give up on me
I’ll do just what you say
This star that’s shy
Don’t give up on me
I’ll do just what you say
This star that’s shy
Washed up on the beach
The stars are little grains
Swept out with the riptide
Slowly float away
Washed up in the sand
and smashed to little grains
Swept out with the riptide
Throw me out and reel me in
You know I’ve been a fool
Tear the line that stretches out
That runs from me to you
Don’t give up on me
I’ll do just what you say
This star that’s shy
Washed up in the sand
You know I’ve waste
Swept out with the riptide

Punchline

Safe as I am
Dry as a bone
Take it from me
you can never go home
Turn you inside out
Take you to the top
When you open your mouth
It’s just one little drop
Keep me in your sites
Divvy up the take
You’ll get more than half
unless I make a mistake
Show me the plan
And say when to go
I can wait here for you,
But I can never go home
The clouds will part
the rain will dry
We’ll see the things
that float in our eye
The clouds will part
the rain will dry
a pool of stars
to swim in your eyes
Show me the plan
And say when to go
I can wait here for you,
But I can never go home
To swim in your eyes

That shirt I was wearing has a tear in it
It’s not your fault, you didn’t mean to
Someone pushed you in
They have a way of making sense
The conversation never ends
Don’t speak out
Don’t be loud
don’t speak up
Don’t be suspect
keep it shut
Send a signal and I’ll see
And we’ll leave on the count of three
Tired of all the ins and outs of ordinary life
tired of all this pointless wasting away
try to read your mind
I feel you staring at the door
We’ll be gone in the blink of an eye
What’s shy, what’s bold?
what’s a secret what gets told?
will you laugh at their inside jokes?
what’s life?
what’s left?
what’s only fair?
what’s loose, too tight?
what’s fit and what is trite?
Try to meet the moment when you think you’ve overstayed
Try to read your mind I feel you staring at the door
Tired of all the ins and outs of ordinary life
Tired of all the ins and outs of ordinary life
tired of all this pointless wasting away
Try to read your mind I feel you staring at the door
We’ll be gone in the blink of an eye

Go Let It In
04:51
|

Sweeping up my bones into a little pile
Open up the window and see what’s outside
Go let it in
You said I got too many demons
I will break that curse
and they’ll finally be rid of me
One of these days
one of these days
I’ll get by
One of these days
one of these days…
a knock upon the door
Go let it in
Eyes behind a painting
I hide behind the door
Sweeping up my bones into a little pile
Open up the window and see what’s outside…
One of these days
one of these days
I'll get by
One of these days
one of these days…
a knock upon the door
One of these days
You’ll find a way to let it in
What’s left to give?
Head like a sieve
One of these days
One of these days
You’re gonna pass me by
One of these days
I’ll fade away
A knock upon the door
