Blood Moon 02:48
light on the silk of a spider's string catching your eye, catching in a strand of hair as you go through tearing it down gave it all Autumn's end, losing your trust--burnt too much the blood moon telling you to halt... who are you? never could love yourself-- only sing for someone else, the only thing you've ever felt quick glance from a passerby tells you more than you knew before: for so long you have always tried convincing yourself... living through your other half, holding on, regain the calm never wished for life like this... take it back? never could love yourself-- only sing for someone else, the only thing you've ever felt memories (your innocence) hiding from what you've become... feels so good to love yourself: make them sing for someone else, the only thing they've ever felt love yourself, love yourself, love yourself

Bomb Shelter 02:54
I'm in the bomb shelter we played in when we were kids there are two pairs of footprints on the table--hers and his endless laughter, constant fighting for ownership of sun, ocean and shore don't touch the lava (it's a secret) try hard to grow up (we will make it) I'm in the kitchen of the camper where we once lived there's still that little cage we crafted for those scorpions endless laughter, constant fighting for olympic races, first one to the door don't touch the lava (it's a secret) try hard to grow up (we will make it) don't touch the lava (it's a secret) try not to grow up (we won't make it) ...back to the kitchen of the camper where we once lived ...back to the kitchen of the camper where we once lived ...back to the bomb shelter we played in when we were kids ...back to the bomb shelter we played in when we were kids

Sins:Night 03:05
the one that I adore, you're who I've waited for in the snow honey scented (love, in essence) a summer's glow it seems that you have come (I see you run from) across the hill as you come near, looky looky here: windmills spin dandelions in the air, lions everywhere, watch them grin moon, bells, parks, wind: light swoon, spells, sparks, sins: night moon, bells, parks, wind: light swoon, spells, sparks, sins: night the way you seem to stare makes me wanna dare, you're the one the one that I adore, you're who I've waited for (but you don't know) now I start to run, embrace the moon and sun! No more snow... I run across the hill, I see you waiting still--you're my love ask me what I want, tell you not to taunt (this is fun) let me spend a while taking in your smile with my kiss now I'm in your arms safe from any harm...this is bliss moon, bells, parks, wind: light swoon, spells, sparks, sins: night moon, bells, parks, wind: light swoon, spells, sparks, sins: night sins:night sins:night

My heart beats--a hub for the lonely, flawed by their envy; we are loud but discreet. My mind reels with thought of this only and feelings that own me, like a song on repeat. And I know I am less than fair but your hands and eyes say otherwise. And I know I am less than fair... For the others? I won't care. My eyes blink--is this a real thing, this love lust feeling? We are so incomplete. My hands reach, endlessly searching, but coming up empty; love cannot be deceived. And I know I am less than fair but your hands and eyes say otherwise. And I know I am less than fair... For the others? I won't care. Our secrets are secure in your arms, untouched (unharmed) by this jealous world. And I know love is less than fair but your hands and eyes say otherwise. And I know love is less than fair... For the others? I won't care.
5.
ghouls by the handful and fools out of hand--no wonder we were lost we found that wonder in each other again--glimmer through the dust I turned from everything I'd ever been told--like sifting through the sand and that last penny I have is looking old... but we look great together you gave up anything that once held you back like running through the mud we are rich now compared to what we once had... and we look great together we were just a couple of nerds who fell in love we had nothing but dreams worth dirt, but we had love our lives and fantasies were food for the birds but we felt love now looking back it seems the tables have turned cause we're in love we're in love... we look great together
6.
trembling fingers find each other in the dark forgetting what would come to haunt our very hearts where is the ghost? I'm looking... where is the ghost? I'm looking... where is the ghost I'm looking for? hmm... wandering outwards, delving into time elapsed pondering-- what would you say if you had me back? where is the ghost? I'm looking... ...the one I've seen in my dreams where is the ghost I'm looking for? hmm... I'm looking for that feeling (the one that moves me forward) but until then I can't speak and I am lost for words... following nightmares I'd think only of your face to dance with my fears is to never leave this place

Red 01:40
there was a car-- her name was Red there was a bird-- dropped stuff on her head so I took that car and gave her a shine and I called that car mine, all mine shiny red car, shiny red car, look where you are, shiny red car you will go far if you be who you are you are my star, shiny red car I took old Red down to the bay there was a boy, asked if I could stay but he got mad when I said no so I drove old Red on back home shiny red car, shiny red car look where we are shiny red car we will go far if we be who we are you are my star, shiny red car shiny red car, shiny red car look where we are shiny red car you took me far and I know who you are you are my star, shiny red car

Nonsense 02:55
there was a guy, no sense of pride taking what once was hers hard to hate, but she can't erase the feeling that she's simply cursed what've you been thinking? just one song and we all start drinking... just a little bit (he said) is all we're needing and missing since the day you left just a little bit? but it's just nonsense... oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, just nonsense daylight's here, dark she fears looking for the light in hell hard to breathe, and she won't believe that he'll be there on Sunday as well what've you been thinking? just one song and we all start drinking... just a little bit (he says) is all we're needing and missing since the day you left just a little bit? but it's just nonsense... oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, just nonsense any devil could take your dress if "just a little bit" started to make some sense but it's nonsense, just nonsense oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, just nonsense better?
