STAINED SILVER

Pop culture with a pin
Watch it wheeze in the air like a dying balloon
A mistake dawned on me
And the rest of my tribe.
"Your wish is our command"
No really. It's OK
Give yourself a group hug and a pat on the back
No really. It's all right
Pose your best for a shot from the firing squad
Choosing my defense
I'll stay on the fence
Sneak a gun through the gates of heaven
Raiding tomorrow's prayers
With a stained silver bullet
Oh how it kills me waiting to follow through
On a dare
Pop culture with a pill
Watch it make all the worms in your mind disappear
Maybe so, maybe not
Never sure if it's me underneath a white sheet
Halloween, Halloween
With a mask I can be your new friend for a while
Trick or treat, trick or treat
There's a razorblade inside your candybar
Pop culture on your skin
You cannot keep your fingers away from your face
Memories are haunting me
Like fish foating dead at the top of a tank

INSPIRE

A vase of wilted flowers, for those who've lost their powers
No use in treading water, when there's no air to breathe in

Help me find a way to move on, standing in the way of the sun
Help me find you, you, you, help you find me
Now who inspires you?

The moods are so abrasive, the sound is too persuasive
Come all the earth has gone straight, shall we go on one last date?

Help me find a way to move on, standing in the way of the sun
Help me find you, you, you, help you find me
Who inspires you?

I'm sorry to inform you, sometimes love can deform you
No time for hesitating, the rifle's cocked and waiting (aimed at me)

Help me find a way to move on, standing in the way of the sun
Help me find you, you, you, help you find me
Now who inspires you?

JOY OPPOSITES

He loves to hate, she hates to love, lonely above
His dirty mind, she just stays clean and sober

True romance in joy opposites always is the case
When you only enjoy taking on all the colors that surround you

She's on the fence, he's on the ground, laid our face down
She takes so long, he's hanging on forever

True romance in joy opposites always is the case
When you only enjoy taking on all the colors that surround you

Any of sign of life you might want to share with me tonight, oh
Oh, any sign of life you might want to share with me tonight, oh

He's always lost, she knows the way, softly he'll say,
"Can you bring me at your pace? Bring me at your place."

True romance in joy opposites always is the case
When you only enjoy taking on all the colors that surround you

True romance after all

True love in joy opposites always is the case

ANCHOR

Whatever makes you tired, the resting always fails
Because anywhere you lay yourself's a bed of nails
Whenever you exhale, I breathe it in the air
You offer me a seat in your electric chair

Are you safe to leave behind every anchor in your mind?
You know better than I do, so clue me in

And every day you ask yourself, "Why was I born?"
Because every migraine feels like wearing a crown of thorns
And all the time I find you crawling on all fours
Because any movement sends you falling through trap doors

Are you safe to leave behind every anchor in your mind?
You know better than I do, so clue me in

Your tongue in cheek
Too late it's already days and weeks before we can make ends meet
Am I right? And you're wrong?
Too late it already takes too long, too much to be flushed with you
Oh, too much to be flushed with you

Whatever makes you tired, the resting always fails
Because anywhere you lay yourself's a bed of nails

Are you safe to leave behind every anchor in your mind?
You know better than I do, so clue me in

BEAUTIFUL SON

Nothing in his mind, the rent there's much too high
Does it make him want to occupy this life?
Hiding all the things he prays the world won't find
Still it makes him run away so paranoid

Beautiful son, without your guns, you'd be someone

Nothing in his mind but childhood memories
Does it make him want to live those years again?
Hair is finally growing back over his wounds
Still it makes him want to hurt the ones he loves

Beautiful son, without your guns, you'd be someone

So the future never came, while the past is just the same
No, we both know you'll go far when you discover who you are
Who you are

Still on a mountain peak of anger, well
All that he can do is yell
To all of us down far, far below
But we all know

Beautiful son, without your guns, you'd be someone

SEA FROST

Dreaming lightly on your own
I wouldn't mind you being alone
Nothing here has been the same
Ever since this winter came
Seized the engine in my heart
And the cold could break my soul apart
Frozen on my knees i pray
Love will melt this all away
Dreaming lightly on my own
I wouldn't mind to be alone
I'm freezing
Dreaming lightly on your own
I wouldn't mind you being alone
Thought i may have spoke too soon
Now confusion fogs the moon
Dying for a yes or no
Life is full of maybe so's
Anything to break the ice
Love would more than just suffice
Dreaming lightly on my own
I wouldn't mind to be alone
I'm freezing

RUBBER AND GLUE

She's rubber and i am glue
She had a lot to say and stuck it to my brain
She is recovered and i am screwed
She had a lot to say and i'll take it to my grave
If I could make all of my words count
I'd ditch numbers all together for sure
Voice reversed yelling a curse towards
The way-back of my skull
Over and over again
She had a lot to say
Came by to water my flower bed
Oh what a big mistake, it rains here everyday
Damage-needle pinned to red
She had a lot to say and i'll take it to my grave
If i could make all of my words count
I'd ditch numbers all together for sure
Voice reversed yelling a curse towards
The way-back of my skull
Over and over again
This is more side effect than i expect
That boy is so glum
This is more side effect inside this wreck
That boy is so dumb
If i could make all of my words count
I'd ditch numbers all together for sure
Voice reversed yelling a curse towards
The way-back of my skull
Over and over again
She had a lot to say

YOUTH OVERRIDED

Voices keep me small
And tongue-tied to the wall
Breast-fed by the moon,
I've grown up too soon
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Heart is the mind of he matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Old and decided
Youth overrided
I just need something
I don't want to fear every dying year
Don't you dare tell me
I cannot be made to believe
That the rings under my eyes
Are really blessings in disguise
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Old and decided
Youth overrided
I just need something
I don't want to fear every dying year
All these memories bailing out on me
Gone into the void
God must need them more anyway
Old and decided
Youth overrided
I just need something
I don't want tofear every dying year
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?

BREATH OF WATER

It's time to tell the truth to anyone who cares
to know what brought him to this point
Curled up into a ball, his ??? the only things that could break his fall

Almost out of air, far beyond repair, doomed
The time is wearing thin, the technicolor's gone
See it all now in black and white

So now, please, it's your last drop of air
So now, breathe, and take your very first
Breath of water
Allow yourself this one
Breath of water
Allow yourelf this one
Allow yourself this one last breath

He ran away from home,
leaving a trace for friends to hunt and find him in the snow
But a scent is not enough,
and we're barely sure he's strong enough to survive the cold

Almost out of air, far beyond repair, doomed
The time is wearing thin, the technicolor's gone
See it all now in black and white

So now, please, it's your last drop of air
So now, breathe, and take your very first
Breath of water
Allow yourself this one
Breath of water
Allow yourelf this one
Allow yourself this one last breath

I'd rather spare the truth from anyone who cares
to know exactly how we found him
But it's time to share the truth with anyone who cares,
he goes out too deep alone

So now...

...breath of water
Allow yourself this one
Breath of water
Allow yourself this one
Allow yourself this one last breath

Water, breath of water, breath of water, water, water, breath of water

LOST IN THE AIR

Radar, you lost me
An impossible disguise
Men all around are searching hard
Nevermind, he's so long and gone
Boy, he's really hard to find!
And by design you know he won't be found
Lifted away
What a day to be lost in the air!
They won't come across me
Hiding in the sky
'Cause nobody walks without their heads
Pointed down at the ground in a daze
Well, it's amazing what you'd find
And by design you know i won't come down
Otherwise i'll crash into the ground
Lifted away
What a day to be lost in the air!

PENNY RACER

I finally learned to spit it out
An with that alone i've said too much
'Cause anything a secret
Is willing to be kept that way
Looking for the truths of mine?
They're found in every other line
Still looking for the truths of mine?
Many is a mood, oh my
Penny racer gone to Mars in flames
Ready as ever to survive
We'll survive
Everyone is an editor
Trying to get a read on me
The less complete a sentence is
The more i guess i tried to say
Looking for the truths of mine?
They're found in every other line
Sill looking for the truths of mine?
Many is a mood, oh my
Penny racer gone to Mars in flames
Ready as ever to survive
Everything is a problem
Is that why everybody answers all at once?
Everything is a problem in my mind
So why make it any harder on me?
They'll make you make it all right
Penny racer gone to Mars in flames
Ready as ever to survive

WOODWORK

My Roman numeral came
As "one" and "I" are both the same
She curves just like the wick
Of a burning candle's dancing flame
These vultures were in love,
Always circling high above
Picked each other apart,
Hungry for the other's heart

Real fun, let's all underachieve

Failed to dispel the myth
Every time is always ending with
The sharp end of a star
Stabbing me right through my heart
She's gone and I'm beyond
A color scheme of loneliness
Now my Roman numeral is lost
As "one" and "I" are now divorced
Your wishes are my command

Real fun, let's all underachieve

Crawling out of rotted woodwork
It stings to breathe
When I don't even know what to do with myself

Real fun, let's all underachieve
