Fly

you gotta fly
to make it out alive
inside
i swear it's worth the try
i'm coming undone
you gotta fly
before your love dies
draw the line
to keep your heart alive
i'm coming undone

The Unexpected
03:36
|

i took a left turn
to see what i would find
and lo and behold
i found that love was all mine
you hit the stop sign
just to crash and burn
but i couldn't save you
not like i used to, my love
i've come
to expect
the unexpected

i saw you at / the laundromat
wanted to sink / under the tile
drown into the / suds down the drain
but i chose to / say hello
did you know that / i was here
maybe i'm just / paranoid
fold my clothes so / gracefully
before i walk / out that door
all i can do / is give it a try
my very hardest / to survive
without you / without them
i tell myself / to just breathe
i'm afraid my / lungs will give way
to all of the / nasty build-up
of the stagnant / emotion
the infinite / disappointment

Disillusioned
03:55
|

|
what is the opposite
of a solution
could it be chaos
or is it the catalyst
(i'm) disillusioned
please take me off
this subscription
of false contentedness
delusional happiness
(i'm) disillusioned
give me clarity
(i'm) disillusioned

Cancer Sun
03:35
|
|||
|
carefully weighing the pros and the cons
i am my worst enemy
can't decide what is right or what's wrong
i am my worst enemy
let me crawl back into my shell
i can be of use there
safely hidden with my baggage
i can be of use there
cancer sun and capricorn moon
how could i begin to choose
this polarity is killing my mood
how could i begin to choose
let me crawl back into my shell
where i will sleep forever
safely hidden with my baggage
where i will sleep forever

Capricorn Moon
03:38
|
|||
|
don't let the tears roll
go on and lick em up
bite your salty tongue
don't speak too soon
work your fingers to the bone
until there's nothing left
it's all you know to do
sore heart with sore arms
i see you fighting back
a strong resilience
afraid to show softness
don't wanna be possessed
your secret's safe with me
don't let yourself combust
into a mile of ashes
lead me back to the sea
cancer sun and capricorn moon
is soft under the exterior
will work until i fade away
to deal with the infinite pain
swirling patterned shell
matches the never-ending horizon line
calling me home to rest my hands
calling me home to rest my hands
and find the true path
and find the true path

COTA
02:49
|
|||
|
going to the punk show
going to the punk show
on the cota
on the cota bus
this is my life
this is my life
all by myself
all by myself
but it's ok
to be alone
but it's ok
to be alone
i tell myself
it feels weird
but that's ok
but it's ok
to be alone

Unaware of Self
03:05
|
|||
|
all of my life
i've always wanted
to be alive
what is it like
to be a real
human being
it wasn't real
you know it's true
it wasn't
it wasn't
all of my life
i've always dreamed of
being with you
but who are we
without ourselves
self-unaware
it wasn't real
you know it's true
it wasn't
it wasn't

Ghost
03:28
|
|||
|
you feel a
little dead inside
but that's alright
i know we'll be fine
block it out
until you feel brand new
no one knows you
do what you gotta do
turn it off
until you feel ok
when you're not afraid
to lay in the bed you made
i see you
turning into a ghost
c'mon, let's go
see how fast you can grow
and it's coming
we are ghosts
blind and see through
(we) haunt new places
to become alive again
and it's coming
