Smile 03:14
Just witnessing this afternoon, it never seemed so real. Wish I could tell you, you give me thrills, always too far past the hill. I could never buy you love, I've got no standing here. I don't know where to start, the peak's rising and all I hear is your name. So far from the truth, I stood by you and fade under their shoes. Wish I could take you, no access to the tickets to your dreams. I'll never own a place in that list of a million names. Am sure mine's down the drain, while I'm drifting sideways and watching you smile. This rain parade from this grandstand, the colours seem to change. From day to night, I’m wearing thin, the voices in my head. Call it simply self esteem, I punch and grit my teeth. I'm slowing losing it to this midnight crush of faults. I'll never be at ease to smile, to smile.

Freefall 03:03
Peppermints, green colored days of hours at the swings, didn’t need to stop and think. Spectrum broken, lost the sight, a new end awaiting. Like clipping birds of their wings. Don’t know what's the score, Give me something more, Heaven knows I'm wrong, I don’t believe in god. I took a limo to the park and captured slices of these fragments in one’s mind. Although the seconds skipped ahead, the movie’s still the same, these slides, projected frames. Don’t know what's the score, Give me something more, Heaven knows I'm wrong, I don’t believe in god.

I steal you from the night, your eyes like stars in the sky. These diamonds shine like your best friends. Dripping all over the place, this darkened space I’m in. This endless self projected scream. I asked for questions, not digressive shit. This switchblade, scrapings at your feet. Santa’s out there waiting with jagged claws.  Just one more chance, pick up your call. I broke a bottle of wine to search for clues inside, and found that ageing was my friend. They drip all over the place, this darkened space I’m in. This endless self projected scream. I asked for questions, not digressive shit. This switchblade, scrapings at your feet. Santa’s out waiting with jagged claws. Just one more chance, pick up your call. Now tell me, tell me what to do to bring myself back home to you. Tell me, tell me what to do. Now tell me, tell me what to do to bring myself back home to you. Tell me, tell me what to do.

Olivia 05:20
All the pain I feel inside, you will find empty words and countless sorrows. Where the sun don’t shine and the nights they burn like fire, like fire. These promises are meant to be broken, all these words were left unspoken. Please not this time when it’s shining bright for once. Olivia, Olivia, Olivia, please just take me home.
 Olivia, release my fears, Olivia, cast away my clones. Darkened days and breathless nights take away, a liar’s truth buried in anger. Where the sun don’t shine and the nights they burn like fire, like fire. Promises are meant to be broken, all those words were left unspoken. Please not this time when it’s shining bright for once. Olivia, Olivia, Olivia, please just take me home.
 Olivia, release my fears, Olivia, cast away my clones. Every stab that tears my skin and the waves they come just crashing in. When I reach out to grab your hand but I am drifting away, away. Turn the lights out and just say goodnight, my world vibrates when I scream, Olivia. Turn the lights out and just say goodnight, our dreams are made when we close our eyes. Turn the lights out and just say goodnight, my world vibrates when I scream ,Olivia. Turn the lights out and just say goodnight, our dreams are made when we close our eyes. Turn the lights out and just say goodnight, my world vibrates when I scream, Olivia.

Tonight 04:43
Tonight the universe is spinning, the skies are rising up above me. Tonight the mummy tombs awaken but nothing can tear us apart. And I feel like I am running with a dark patch around my eyes. Wake me up in the morning, with your warm hands and sweet lips. Trust and believe that it’s coming. The day that I’ll hold you is near and approaching. Don’t say ever say that you’re leaving. Cause I’ll be fighting for you, all alone, all alone. Tonight the chandeliers are shining, the walls reflecting lights around me. Tonight our battle's just beginning but nothing could tear us apart. And I feel like I am running with a dark patch around my eyes. Wake me up in the morning, with your warm hands and sweet lips. Trust and believe that it’s coming. The day that I’ll hold you is near and approaching. Don’t say ever say that you’re leaving. Cause I’ll be fighting for you, all alone, all alone. Cause you’re like an angel to me, you're beautiful in the sky, flying high, you’re on the line. Cause you’re like an angel to me, you're beautiful in the sky, flying high, you’re on the line. Cause you’re like an angel to me, you're beautiful in the sky, flying high, you’re on the line. Tonight.

Friday I woke up to face the open sky. Did you read my name, I think you walked on by. Do you think the sky looks prettier when it's red? Counting all the days till I see you face to face. If you think I didn't see it coming. I was hard at work. Saturday I wake up to find the soil is dust. Do you have the time, I think my battery's dead. Do you think we'll make it in time to catch the show? I'll wear these flip flops and you'll wear those boots. Everybody's dressed up for the party for the end of the world. Everybody's dressed up for the party for the end of the world.

Seventeen 04:14
You’re only seventeen I understand. A future of possibilities at hand. As daylight struck, a thought above the clouds. I watch you slip away from me in doubt. And now is the time as headlights cover me. Two beings in one, in daylight chemistry. Don’t call me baby on the phone as if. I was just one of your playthings and victims. The FEDs, they're VIP, they're breaking in like slow-mo hitting hard catastrophes. Was glad the world was coming to an end but fuck these skies turned blue on us again. Don’t want to count these golden fishes dead. Stay inside your room, all enough said. We pick you up in your pink top and blue jeans. I love you, hate you, is there such a thing? And now if this is one of those times of the month, I’m glad I found you. And now if this is one of those times of the month, I’m glad I found you.

Paul Klee 04:26
Resigned myself to this, to the girl who did not want me, the ones who did not care. Intoxicated with your hell, a memory of being smashed in, these stitches in your hair. You know I never said a word. I spent these nights with golden fragments, poisoned arrows, waiting for these buses to arrive. Been watching ships all day sinking as corrupted lovers gather with their cigarettes and alcohol to play. And I got up and placed a star on the old christmas tree, hoping someday I could die like some angel, like Paul Klee. I lost the thrill to love and hate and only fragments re-arrange this solemn to this hate. You lived your life in your sweet spell. The broken hearts you tortured like pigs on a rack to fulfil your needs and ego. In the end, you blew out all your veins. The needle's halfway gently falling into place, can you hear yourself screaming in space? Even if our souls are flushed out, even if the rain pours down We’ll never see the world with bright lights and miracles. And now the meadow’s fading in, I hang suspended from my sill, I'm holding up against my will. And even if our souls are flushed out, and even if the rain pours down We’ll never see the world with bright lights and miracles. Even if our souls are flushed out, even if the rain pours down We’ll never see the world, bright lights and miracles.

Never trust your mother's coloured television. A world that’s filled with jealous people drinking poison. The chemical reaction running through your tainted veiny bodies, draws your passion. You've seen that advertisement on your way home. Stealing hard earned paper from generations. The chemical reaction running through your tainted veiny bodies, draws your passion Calm down and take your time to see the light. Hold on tight to me. Break free from the chains that weigh you down. Calibrate your mind. Now when the storm is over, reality will shake you. In and out of blindness, you’ll find there's no one with you. The chemical reaction running through your tainted veiny bodies, draws your passion. Calm down and take your time to see the light. Hold on tight to me. Break free from the chains that weigh you down. Calibrate your mind. Waking up in the dark, sweating like an animal. And in despair, I hear those sounds. It’s breaking up my dreams, black mountain screams.
