Tropic Of Cancer
04:02
|
|||
We drove around slow
Watch up to stars
That shone bright in the night
Blackstar burns hard
Ripples in time
The things we know won’t be the same
When stars are burning out
Inescapable fates and transient shapes
Burnout on the ground
There’s time to arrive
Back home to try
And disconnect the sun
To draw the blinds
To live and to die
The things we know won’t be the same
When stars are burning out
Inescapable fates and transient shapes
Burnout on the ground
I disconnect myself from everyone and everything
From difficult wakes and unconscious states
I need to disappear
And when your spirit leaves your body
I swear it takes me with you away somewhere
We float over houses
Get lost in the air
Though I stand in your bedroom
I’m not really here
I’m ripped up and rejected
My oxygen cut
I’ll burn up on re-entry when your heart gives up
Cos nobody loves me
The way that you do

Drive Into The Sunset
06:36
|
|

We waited so long for this day
We never get to go away
Inside our room we’ve gotta stay
Stare out of the windows and say
“One day I’m gonna break away
Break down the doors and escape”
We are two stars from two different galaxies
So strange yet so alike
Time comes and I make my escape
But will I manage to evade
Obstacles that line the way
Drive into the sunset and say
“I’m never coming here again”

Daydream
04:16
|
|

Why do all of my dreams
Take place in somewhere that I’ve been
Before but swore not to return
And repeat my lusty nightmares
My daydreams are more astral bodied
Cerebral and extra-terrestrial
And all night I’m tortured by these things
When real life feels extra-terrestrial
And normal is auto-erotica
I want the symbiosis
My daydreams are more astral bodied
Cerebral and extra-terrestrial
And all night I’m tortured by these things
My love feels ever-expanding
Supreme and never-ending

Tricks
03:49
|

I’m new to this world
I’m shaking off ideas
I’ve been used to
From my past life
Not comfortably
Yet walking tall
I’ll keep stumbling
But I’ll get it right in time
I’m still new to the game
Still finding my way around here
Then went to your house
Such a bad idea
Started freaking out
I’m getting outta here right now
Then on through the day
The song in my brain
Repeating
“Don’t want your complications
I’ve still got my reservations
About the tricks of the trade
I’m not ready to learn”
You twist out conversations
Rig em up with exaggerations
So you can stay in bed
And I can stay alone

Fantasia
07:29

Sometimes you’ve gotta break from routine and move away
Doesn’t matter how far or where you end
Just make the change
Now I don’t know about you
But I couldn’t desert too
And I’m too scared to admit I need you to get by
These are words I don’t say
And I can’t bring myself to change
So stay with me
So happily at sea
Adrift but not lost
Not together, but across
I wait around in rain
And sun and in snow
In time things will go my way
I’m too weak to tell you face to face
So I write it down in songs you’ll never hear

Indian Summer
04:17
|
|
||
There are days I can remember
And the first that we spent together
But I don’t want to be a secret to you anymore
It’s a pact that we made together
In your bedroom during our Indian summer
Now I want to live my life in you forever
I want to live
We lay on your bed with your head on my chest
You said “I’m listening to the sound of what keeps you alive”
It’s such a simple thing
But it means a lot to me

Brain Fade
01:38
|
|
||
Did you forget what you were told to say
About your favourite food, your name and your birthday
But it’s okay boo
I forget too
Don’t let this brain fade get the best of you
Hey it’s okay
Don’t you get down about your fuck up
There’s opportunities to make it up
But if they hate you like you know they do
Just put The Smiths on and say “fuck you too”
Hey, no way
Lie down in recovery
Oh, how embarrassed you must be!
Lie down in recovery
Oh, how embarrassed!
Hey brain fade
Not today

Hang
03:28
|
|

Hanging on you
Choking down a bitter pill
You knew that I couldn’t take it
But I saw that you still did it
You’re so cold, hot-headed
Come on and carry unnecessary
Create a new reality
I’m hanging on
Cross my heart with a paper cut
A demon hiding inside my guts
A whisper, a code between us
Poison tongue, fall to dust
It hurt like the truth
Hang
We’ll escape
One day we will
I’ll hang here for you
