Fall Valentine
05:41
|

Never thought I would fall
Valentine
But I gave it my all
At the time
But I keep changing
Rearranging
And carving holes in my heart
I thought I could solve
Everything
But that's just not my thing
Do I keep on trying
Purifying
While slipping back to the start
Put a little in, get a little out
Put a little in, get a little out
Ba da da
This is what I get, this is what I got
This is what I get, this is what I got
Ba da da
Valentine
People grow on trees
Whisper my name
Bring back spring
Every little thing, every little thought
Every little thing, every little thought
(Get away from me)
this is what I get, this is what I got
this is what I get, this is what I got
(Nothing here to see)
And this'll never end, this'll never stop
And this'll never end, this'll never stop
(I am the same)
Every little thing every little thought
Every little thing every little thought
(As any other me)
Put a little in, get a little out
Put a little in, get a little out
Ba da da
This is what I get, this is what I got
This is what I get, this is what I got
Ba da da
Nothing left to scream, nothing left to shout
Nothing left to scream, nothing left to shout
Ba da da
Every little thing, every little doubt
Every little thing, every little doubt
Ba da da
I thought that I knew myself
But I think that was someone else
I'm just disengaging
Stimulating
Drowning in a sea of myself
But I put a little in, get a little out
We put a little in, help each other out
Put a little in
And this'll never end till I work it out
You do a little spin
Shake away the doubt
Do a little spin
Put a little in, get a little out
Put a little in, get a little out
Ba da da
This is what I get, this is what I got
This is what I get, this is what I got
Ba da da
Put a little in, get a little out
Put a little in, get a little out
Ba da da
This is what I get, this is what I got
This is what I get, this is what I got
Ba da da

Here with You
06:04
|

Right here with you
What will we do
What will we do
Melting away
You turn the night
Into day
What will we do
Tomorrow
Do you really understand
What I am
Part of a… part of a… part of a… part of a broken-down machine
Do you have the parts I need
If the movie gets too scary
Will you tell me
To close my eyes
…did you hear that
Tomorrow
Do you really understand
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Part of a… part of a… part of a… part of a… broken-down machine
Here here broken down broken broken down machine
Tomorrow
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
Tomorrow
Right here with you
Let's let them believe
You’re in control
So keep it together
Put on a smile
It's been so long
It's been a while
No one ever needs to know
That you are fading fast
Open wide
And let me in
What will I do tomorrow
No one really understands
What I am
If I never get better
Will you have me go back to bed?

Don't know what you want
I don't know what to say
I don't know what you want
I've been here every day
There's nothing in your eyes
And nothing left to say
If it's all the same to you
What I do
I should just dissolve
And slowly melt away
Do you know how to advance
I'm stuck here everyday
Imposter in the skin
So nothing left to say
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Get out of there
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Get out of there
Don’t know what you need
You better find it quick
I am doubling the skin
And crawling into it
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Get out of there!
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Get out of there!
I have got something to say
Lie to me
Make my day
Make my
Make me cum
There is something out there still
There is something out there for me
Come and hold me near
Take a moment to remember how
Your lover feels
Something's waiting out here for me
Doppelganger, you can't keep it from me
There is something out there still
There is something out there for me
Won't you hold me dear
Take a moment to remember
How your lover feels
Something’s waiting out here for me
Doppelganger, you can't keep it from me

Shoe Goo
05:18
|
|||
Shoe more goo than shoe
Do what you gotta do
Cannot follow through
Do what you gotta do
Cut me up make me new
Do what you gotta do
Held together with....
Mirror a voyeur
Like, oh it’s a ghost
Concrete esophagus
Filling the host
Bodied and swallowing
Taking the most
Chopping injecting and
Hold me together with….
Dripping and guzzling
Out from the bone
Frenzied and stuttering
I've always known
Body topography
Is this an autopsy
I won’t condone all this
Mutilation and reconfiguration
Swallow my pieces for
Perfect duplication
Forget to swallow for
Disassociation
Taking it out of me
Taking it out
Dying to make this the time of our lives
None of that matters in this configuration
Waterfalls tumbling out of my eyes
Goo me together
Goo me back up
Oohh
Shoe more goo than shoe
What’s it mean to you
Nothing you see is true
Turn me into goo
Squeezing it out of you
What was one is two
Am I enough for you?
I won’t condone all this
Stimulation and rehabilitation
Fuck reality
Transient the nation
Nothing can help with this
Disassociation
Taking it out of me
Taking it all
Dying to make this the time of our lives
None of that matters in this configuration
Waterfalls tumbling out of my eyes
Goo me together
Goo me back up
What did they do to you
I knew you better
You used to be so clean
Is this what’s left of you
All pieced together
Are all reflections so mean
Mutilation and transubstantiation
Change my body into
Something less than it was
Shoe more goo than shoe
Nothing more we can do
Break me down, make me new
You never listened to me
I tried to tell you to stop
I watched you throw it away
I watched you carve out your heart
(Shoe more goo than shoe)
And yeah you’re moving along
(Make me something new)
How much time have you got?
(Shoe more goo than shoe)
You could have been anything

Every million of me
There is only one you
What can I do
What can I do
Every step that I take
another mistake
Nothin’ to do
Every million of me
There is only one you
What can I do?
Every step that I take
another mistake
Nothin’ to do
Forget about the way you got here
Forget how you fought all the way here
You don't belong here. Ha ha
Good luck finding a way
When I go away
Haha. Good luck
Good luck
Good luck
Good luck
Good fucking luck
Without me
Individual? Haha.
What a thought
Everything you know
A product you bought
What's so wrong with another?
Every whimper I make
A chance that you take
Catch me missing in the course of action
Just another mistake
Just another mistake to hide
‘til the day this charade
This charade finally falls apart
Imposter, go away
Imposter
Imposter
Forget about the way you the got here
Forget about the friends you lost
Chasing some dream
That you never wanted, haha
Good luck staying awake
When I go away, haha
Good luck
Individual? Haha
What a thought
Everything you know
A product you bought
Imposter
Go away

Ghost
03:02

Talk to me
Lay me in the sun
All I need
Tell me when to run
All of my thoughts are from foreign hosts
Now I feel just like a ghost
All of my thoughts are from foreign hosts
Now I feel just like a ghost
Always there
Always there singing’
Ooowoooooooo
You're always there singin’
Talk to me
Leave me underground
Empty me
Drown me in the sound
All of my thoughts are from foreign hosts
Now I feel just like a ghost

Consume
05:20
|

I figured you out
I've been wasting my breath on you
Did you hear that
And what are you trying to say
You think you know what you want
You think you know what to do
Let's assume that
Anything that you can say
I can prove is untrue
And what are you trying to do
You keep on running away
You keep on playing the fool
Everyday
Well anything that you can do
I can slowly undo
Will I consume the bone
Will I consume
Until my skin is gone
I will consume
And what are you trying to say
You think you know what you want
You think you know what to do
Let's assume that
Anything that you can say
I can prove is untrue
And what are you trying to do
You keep on running your mouth
You keep on playing the fool
Everyday
Well what did you think the people around you would do
Will I consume the bone
Will I consume
Until my skin is gone
I will consume
Did you hear that

Canary Outgrown its cage

OooOoOoOoooo
Look me straight in the eye
Tell me where I begin
Trodden into the sound
I'm drownin’ in
I'm just
Rotting under the trees
Gnawing bits off of bone
So much easier when
There's no one home

Light up the Stage
04:43
|

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Memories of sand
You should know
Things are different from how you planned
And the ocean swallows everything
Trust your head, trust your gut
trust your body, trust your
Inability to ever like a party. And the
world is much smaller than you think
Light up the stage and
Forget your smile
Day by day
But it's been a while
Never really choosing what to do
And you crawl out of bed and you
Put on your shoes and you
Run out the door
There is so much to do
Remember when you used to have the time
Come on, come on, come on, keep
Shoveling the coal
Can't you see
I don't need you to lose control
Cause the ocean breaks down everything
Count your hair, count your blessings
Count your cash, countin’
All the miles left until your out of gas, counting
All the things you know you'll never need
Well
Light up the stage and
Forfeit your smile
Day by day
And it’ll be a while
Never really feeling anything
And you crawl out of bed and your
Vision is blurred and you
Talk really loud
Goddamn right, I'll be heard
Remember when you used to try your best
Oh, no
It's been a while
Hasn't it been a while?
Oh, well
It's been a while
And it's time to start again
Hello, hello, hello, hello
Memories of sand
Don't you know
You are different from where you stand
You don't have to explain anything
Fighting hard, fighting back
Fighting dirty, fight your
Inability to make it through your 30s with the
Ocean always lapping at your feet
Light up the stage and
Forget your smile
day by day
But it's been a while
Never really choosin’ what to do
And you crawl out of bed and you
Put on your shoes and you
Run out the door
There is so much to do.
Remember when you used to have the time.
Just spectating the show I’m supposed to sing
