Sitting
in a negative state
across the room
laying here wide awake
way too soon
shadows dance on the wall
Invite me in
close my eyes count to ten
(chorus)
What’s yours is what’s mine
One word at a time
Canary in the mine
You do you and i’ll waste my time with
ro ro rose
ro ro ro rose
ro ro rose
ro ro ro rose
clutching
all my diamonds and pearls
in my bed
is it really there
or in my head
see the mist in the camera
back for more
hear the knock on the door
(chorus 2)
say you need a friend
no lights at the end
so why pretend
You do you but I found a friend in
ro ro rose
ro ro ro rose
ro ro rose
ro ro ro rose
(chorus 3)
what's yours is what's mine
one word at a time
canary in the mine
I'm wasting my time
say you need a friend
no lights at the end
so why pretend
you do you but I have a friend in
ro ro rose
ro ro ro rose
ro ro rose
ro ro ro rose

Honey/Poison Pool
03:39
|
|||
|
(chorus)
My honey is simple as
She drinks from her garden bath
More dangerous than the rest
So I do what honey says
God dip me into the poison pool
Sick summer sweat in the heat of June
Commenting on the size of the moon
Staring up at the same one as you
(chorus)
Wish I was stuck in the poison pool
Saved by the bright fallen angel of doom
Go take a walk by the fountainhead
Think about all that i wish i said
(chorus)
ohhhhhhh
oh I need a friend like you

Side House

|
who are you?
who let you in
this side house
of mine?
honesty's
the master key
to this side house
of life
scaring me
threaten me
if you must
heavens me
oh mercy me
you’re lost
where are you?
why do you cry?
how did you die
my dear?
are you cold?
are you alone?
why are you full
of fear?
(chorus)
Break the locks
Spirit box
Calling
Drowning
where you lived
the aether ridge
you lost your kids
in a fire
come with me
certainly
we'll spend some time
for awhile
feel her wrath
you hear her laugh
what have you done
my love?
certainly
philosophy
will fill your head
with dust
scaring me
threaten me
if you must
heavens me
oh mercy me
you’re lost

If you were cold
I’d bring you in for warmth
If you were worn
I’d treat you to resort
(chorus)
Anything I do
I’d do it for you
catching all your food
I’d set a trap for you
If you were spent
I’d lay you in the grass
Mow the lawn
and clean up all the glass
(chorus)
If you were scared
I’d fortify your head
If you were lost
I’d lose myself instead
(chorus)
set a trap for you
set a trap for you

Cellophane
03:40
|
|||
|
you can be my aeroplane if we leave the ground
i can be your cellophane i’ll wrap you all around
my heart beats vermillion but my love is coral blue
anything you say to me i'll redirect to you
i can be a prototype and upgrade to your whim
you can be my parasite attaching to my skin
my heart feels so heavy but i’m lighter than the air
even if I lose my head ill find you in my hair
the push
and pull
is out of
control
even if you walk
away
ive still
my cellophane

|

|
my love for you has never been so nervous
my love for you has never been so nervous
if you’re gonna dance, then i’m dancing too
my heart beats heartbeats just for you
but my love for you has never been so nervous

Nuclear Girl
03:27
|
|||
|
she’s a dancer and she lost her mind
not belonging to a place in time
catch her contemplating all alone
she hasn’t heard of the telephone
she’s an actor and she likes to cry
watch the sadness in her crystallize
spot her sighing on the balcony
she does it all so naturally
(chorus)
that’s life for a nuclear girl in a minimal city
growing up beautiful dressed in unusual gowns
she’s a model and she does the walk
but the challenge is the model talk
sees a painting and it makes her hurl
no comprehension of the modern world
she’s exactly what they want to see
cuz she’s exactly what she wants to be
you must be dreaming if you disagree
the paragon of heart and artistry
(chorus)
life for a nuclear girl in a minimal city
growing up beautiful death in a usual town
life for a nuclear girl is so nice when you’re pretty
life in the real world and death in a virtual town
