Skull Crusher
01:24
|
|||
Saw your story
Edged in yellow
Upside down from a spider web
Goes by many names
But I only know the one
Skull crusher – burning bright just like the sun
Staring through the lens – never gonna give it back
Skull crusher – I’ll be making tracks
Taking pictures
Of terrible things
Documenting horror stories
Goes by man names
But I only know the one
Skull crusher – burning bright just like the sun
Taking pictures as she stares right through the lens
I don’t wanna make you angry….
I repent

You run round the block, like your life, depends on it
Then one day, it does
You run and run...

Aggressor
00:52
|
|||
Hiding in the corner
With both eyes closed
Trying to ignore to you
I’m giving up hope
Why don’t you want to come down?
What happened to make you so angry?
You’re selling nightmares
I’m not buying in
I’ll see you on the outside
When you’ve grown thin
woo

Forge Ahead
02:01
|
|||
Back when the stars outnumbered the lights
We couldn’t see so far into the night
So I’d keep my focus on what I saw nearby
What was out of sight, was out of mind
Forge ahead
This is just like a dream I’ve had
The one I have while my head’s in the sand
Forge ahead
Back when the stars outnumbered the lights
We couldn’t see so far into the night

For The Push
02:15
|
|||
It’s not like it caught me off guard
There’s been pieces falling out for years
Don’t act surprised this time around
I thought I made it clear…
You found me on the edge I wished you wouldn’t but - it came true
Swinging heels and waiting for a push to send me off
And break back into that blue
wish you were somewhere else
send me back a postcard picture
my soul is grey and growing old – don’t believe me? Well –
you can read about it scripture
You found me on the edge I wished you wouldn’t but - it came true
Swinging heels and waiting for a push to send me off
Could that push be you?
You found me on the edge I wished you wouldn’t but - it came true
Swinging heels and waiting for a push to send me off
and slip this earthquake glue

Take Flight, Escape
01:51
|
|||
One of these days
One of these ordinary days
One of these seemingly-ordinary days
The sky will fall
The sun will melt
The oceans will dry up on us someday
On an ordinary day like today
Let’s take flight
Let’s escape
Let’s gather up our things and run away
Take flight, escape
Pack up and run, run, run, run away
One of these days
One of these ordinary days
One of these seemingly-ordinary days
Let’s pack up
All our things
Let’s pack up all our things
And run away
On an ordinary day like today
Pack up and run, run, run, run away

Not Broken, Ornamental
01:39
|
|||
We were falling in love, I guess
Sharing one another’s art
You sculpted something out of clay, I guess
Was it you and me minus some parts?
We were falling in love / Were we falling in love?
We were falling in love, I guess
I looked into your eyes
You looked into my eyes, I guess
The glass eye came as a surprise
We were falling in love / Were we falling in love?

Summer Was A Bad Dream
01:39
|
|||
Summer was a bad dream
Try to make it out somehow
Kept on coming back for more
But we ran out of luck somehow
Summer was a bad dream
You and you and eve I was there
We went out in the dark times
And we didn’t run around with much care
We broke right down
Summer was a bad dream
We knocked over everything
I hit the reset on the way back in
So now we have to do it all again
Summer was a bad dream
Summer was a bad, bad dream
Summer was a bad dream
…I’m coming clean

Holloa
00:53
|
|||
I see him sitting by the old red barn
And that’s not terribly far
I can’t see you I don’t know where you are
No I don’t know where you are
Holler, holler, yeah
Holler, holler, yeah
Holler, holler, yeah

If You Feel
02:14
|
|||
Waking up more tired
Than I was when I went to bed
The course I run through daily
Leaves me empty and exhausted
You can leave your keys - I know you’re not coming back
I’ll go change the locks again in effort to understand
If you feel like you might just explode
Do it out of earshot – I think it’s better that I don’t know
See it all inside an angry broken kaleidoscope
There might be a test later on so I hope you’re taking notes
Cleaning all the copper up until it’s shining just like gold
(You’ve been told)
Hey wow you remembered
We always had faith you would
I was just standing pretty stock still
Like a statue feeling good
If you feel – like you might not cope too well
You can jump this ship right now – I’ll just tell them all you fell
See it all inside an angry broken kaleidoscope
There might be a test later on so I hope you’re taking notes
(go take some notes)

You always told me that you were my friend.
You’d be forever. Together until the end.
You would be my friend
You’d never leave me. You would be at the door.
When this all ends, we’ll pose for one last picture.
Just be careful. Be careful what you wish for.
You’ll be at the door.
Do you believe me?
Why? Then why do you need more?
You act sometimes like you’re talking to the devil.
Just be careful. Be careful what you wish for.
Why do you need more?
Yeah be careful. Be careful what you wish for.

Year-Long Spook House
01:50
|
|||
Everybody gather round
Today’s the day yeah – it’s gonna go down
Back there by our secret fear
Setting up shop – it could be here all year
Spook house
Isn’t what it seems to be
Look down
It looks a lot like me
Bring your best but accept your worst
Big eyes and a terrible thirst
Do you hear a howling?
I’m not scared – but I’m gonna leave now and…I know
Spook house
Isn’t what it seems to be
Look down
It looks a lot like me
Local kids throw stones
Through the windows of my soul
I flee to the safe place
I’m story you got told
Spook house….

Make mistakes it’s easy
In fact I think I might be a pro
Digging holes in every situation that I come across
Until there’s nowhere to go - but down…
Bad news through a small town
It’s gonna spread like wild fire
I am the rain – come to save you again
Would you believe me if I said I’m a liar?
Nowhere to go but down
Nowhere to go but down
Hear a million calling
Flowers turning up to the sun
Letting go of moments always waiting for the next one
Until there’s nowhere to go –but down…
Bad news through a small town
Can turn heads and raise all kinds of angst
I’m feeling ok – I’m really good right now
But your efforts still get my thanks
Nowhere to go but down
Nowhere to go but down
Bad news through a small town

Hurry Scurry
01:19
|
|||
Don’t ask a lot of questions, I’m not good at telling lies
Besides it’s probably best if it’s mostly a surprise
When I flip the switch, and you hear me cry
Hurry scurry, hurry scurry, run for your life
Run. For your life.
The guy that most concerns me, has a fire in his eyes
His cheeks go pink, like he’s wearing a disguise
He hoots and hollers, shouting "tally-ho!"
Hurry scurry, hurry scurry, I thought it best you know
I thought it best. That you know.
He’s doing this for fun, he takes no care of the plume
He doesn’t eat the meat, he hangs the head in a room
He mounted one above the mantle by the bedroom for his guests
Hurry scurry, hurry scurry, or you’ll be next
You. You’ll be next.

Smile Poem
01:30
|
|||
Yeah Grandmother told me
When I was looking blue
Smiling is infectious
Try it when you do it people do it back to you
She hung it up in her stairway
In a frame that was edged with gold
It’s a fact of life, pretty simple
It’s shame that I had to be told
Grandmother told me
Grandmother told me

I was young when I left home
Got away but still stayed close
Spread your worthless wings
Yeah, spread your worthless wings
Forced to face my own death
While you and my brothers slept
Spread your worthless wings
Spread your worthless wings
Love is just another four-letter word
I know it sounds absurd, but it’s what we say
The other day I met someone
We crawled when we could no longer run
Spread your worthless wings
Spread your worthless wings

Be My Godzilla
02:42
|
|||
Dying slowly, dying soft
Nobody steps in - so enough’s enough
Sorting through it, we’re making lists
It’s clear in here – we won’t be missed
Be my Godzilla
Crush down on what ails me
Let me ride, on your shoulder
Make a break for the sea
And when we get there - we’ll disappear
But if they need us, then never fear
We’re coming back and cannot wait to see
You again
Not too outstanding, not over done
Recount the battle – we barely won
Down in the rubble, just coughing grit
Never considered – this time we split
Be my Godzilla
Crush down on what ails me
Let me ride, on your shoulder
Make a break for the sea
And when we get there - we’ll disappear
But if they need us, then never fear
We’re coming back and cannot wait to see
You again

You're Free?
01:58
|
|||
You’re holed up in your room. I’m a mile away
The distance in between is far too great.
You’re free?
To do what? To go where?
Can I say a word? Can I breathe the air?
Do this and that. Go here and there.
Be careful, son. And please be fair.
You’re free?
For how long? How does this end?
Are you having fun? You’d better run
You’re free?

Dragoon
02:14
|
|||
Let’s go into battle
I’ll bring the snacks
As calm as cattle
Grazing down on the beach in the sand
Up there on your high horse
You can see it all
You’re Like a real team player
Who knows how far you will go
Break down it for me
I’m just a foolish mortal
You can cross the sea
With nothing but your mind going at full throttle
Up there on your high horse
You can see it all
You’re Like a real team player
Who knows how far you will go
Dragoon

My bauble, my bauble is God’s cruel joke
I stay up late some nights just on the stone
I’m still not sure what I’m wishing for
We all wish we could fly
Why should things be any different for me?
Why? Why?
My bauble, my bauble is God’s cruel joke
An’ that’s just got to be all right
