How Is Your Heart? 06:07
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes at night you walk the streets Like you’re a character on some old movie screen You say ‘How come every one I see Seem like they have it figured out except for me?’ So, how is your heart? Well lay down your arms And don’t worry now, don’t worry now I know it’s not working out, it’s not working out Some times it’s dawn before you sleep And your only covers are your shrouds of misery So darling is it time to leave? Well I hate to know that that’s the only light you see So, how is your heart? Well lay down your arms And don’t worry now, don’t worry now I know it’s not working out, it’s not working out So, you light another cigarette And hope that it will finally let your soul forget And float away in rings of smoke Well I just hope you’ll say goodbye before you go So, how is your heart? Well lay down your arms And don’t worry now, don’t worry now I know it’s not working out, it’s not working out But don’t worry now, don’t worry now I know it’s not working out, it’s not working out But don’t leave me now, don’t you leave me now I know it’s not working out, it’s not working out But you can work it out

V 03:32
lyrics

V, if you'd like to travel Where will we turn? Where will we go? What's left for a couple of angel rebels Without a home? And see if our plans unravel Before we both fell, before we come down Am I still just a lukewarm carousel Spinning around? V, this whole world's a gamble The red or the black, the high or the low Everything's a roulette wheel left spinning Out of control It's easy to take for granted The battles we lost, the war that we won Cause it's been such a long time since I've felt Sure of someone Believe We're free V, when we came alive All of our blood, and all our bones And all that we've tried just to make things whole And make things right Believe that we'll come alive The blue moon shines in the dead of night And all of our blood and bones are safe inside Our blood and bones are left behind Believe We're free Believe We're free

We Are Where We Are 05:22
lyrics

Make up your mind The one you choose The one you leave behind Oh honey, what if we find there's a tattoo of our names on either side? Lay down the ones That never rise for either one of us Oh honey, what have you done? There's a candle lit where you were once And it feels.. And it feels.. Like we are ready To fill up the earth inside our graves Until we run Into the garden And find out we start and end Exactly where we are In our heads Look out below Cause we've lost our grip on any kind of love Oh honey, what do we know? Are we permanently on our own? And it feels... And it feels... Like we are ready To fill up the earth inside our graves Until we run Into the fire And burn up in flames that light our way Until we run Into the garden And find out we start and end Exactly where we are In our heads In our heads

Act of Breaking 03:35
lyrics
buy track
After all the shattered walls that start to fall and break for me Are wearing me out Well I was a lot like your friend, a lot like your friend And wearing you around After all the alcohol, the final crawls that call for me Are wearing me down Well I was a lot like the end, a lot like the end Before we begin But wait, I could have changed I’m trying to feel my life’s refrain And caught in the act of disguising my name But it will not be the act of breaking down After all the empty space you violate and break for me And carry me down Well I was a lot like your man, a lot like your man A lot like your man And then we break down But wait, I could have changed I’m trying to feel my life’s refrain And buried in cycles that spin 'round your brain And carry a lie like some secret shame But there is a time for us still to create To fill the blank canvas, the empty space And we’re caught in the act of disguising our names But it will not be the act of breaking down

(I've Invented A) Maneuver 03:11
lyrics
buy track
I've invented a maneuver Well at the moment, it's more like a gesture But I'm trying Hey, are you choking on something? If you are choking I could save you with my maneuver I ain't lying Hilda, wake up Hilda, wake up Hilda, wake up And come and check out my maneuver I've invented a maneuver Well at the moment, it's slightly more like a gesture But I'm trying Hey, are you choking on something? If you are choking I could save you with my maneuver So you ain't dying Hilda, wake up Hilda, wake up Hilda, wake up And come and check out my maneuver Well, they call me Dr. Heimlich I'm Dr. Heimlich, and I made a manuever I ain't lying Hey are you choking on something? If you are choking on that big thing I could save you With my funky maneuver Hilda, wake up Hilda, wake up Hilda, wake up And come and check out my maneuver

Well, take me as you want, baby Hold me like a child in your bed All warm and wild and full of dread And we’ll rule the Nile Well, sing me like a song, baby Let up on the reins and set me free Or lock these chains and lose the key And fuel the flames Well, I told you I was bad breaks, and stomach aches And churns and quakes and shakes And I’ll make you cry again Well, I’m gonna lie again Well, I told you I was bad news, and worn-out shoes And waking, walking blues And I’ll just make you cry again Well, I’m gonna lie again Do you really wanna come in here? Cause I can’t let you in And I could never show you what you want to feel real joy But then you really haunt my dreams, and impart to me So desperately how much you need to be destroyed Well, I destroy These roots of the tree They grow wild and they cover both you and me After hours, sneaking round in the cemetery Where we buried our love Well, these roots of the tree They grow out and they cover us so wild and free While we were K-I-S-S-I-N-G And we fell from above Well, I told you I was bad breaks, and stomach aches And churns and quakes and shakes And I want you to lie again I want you to lie again Well, I told you I was bad news, and worn-out shoes And waking, wandering blues And I want you to lie again I want you to lie again Do you really wanna come in here? Cause I can’t let you in And I could never give you what you want in your employ But then you really haunt my dreams, and impart to me So desperately how much you need to be destroyed Well, me, Well I destroy, I destroy, I destroy Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba These shells from the sea They are really just pieces of you and me Pieces of the people we used to be This is a yard full of bones These shells from the sea They are really just broken pieces of me Of the man that I tried and I failed to be This is a yard full of bones I can hear it calling me I can hear it calling me I can hear it calling me Calling me back home I can hear it calling me! I can hear it calling me! I can hear it calling me Calling me back home! Do you really wanna come in here? Cause I can’t let you in And I could never show you what you want to feel real joy But then you really haunt my dreams, and impart to me So desperately how much you need to be destroyed Well, me, Well, I destroy, I destroy, I destroy, I destroy, I destroy Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

All The Rain 07:15
lyrics
buy track
The night of the storm You were left landed And stranded and waiting to go The rain in your eyes The pane of my window The old pair of boots by the door There's a cold wind that settles the score There's a lie that we tell when we're born Crying out through the night Turning dark into light Pouring rain till it's strangely well-worn They opened the skies And I couldn't save you But I couldn't leave you alone The water's inside It's seeped through the window And settled in streams on the floor There's a wild wave the washes ashore There's a lie that we write when we're old Calling out through the night Pulling dark from the light Pouring rain till it's taken its toll And the flood That is drowning them out Washes us And all we've wanted right now But I'm afraid of what I might become Ooh Gimme all the rain Gimme all the rain The smell of the storm While you were left waiting Debating the life you let go There's a cold wind that settles the score There's a lie that we tell to be sure Crying out through the night Turning dark into light Pouring rain till we're drained to the core And the flood In the wake of the storm Washes us I've never wanted it more But I'm ashamed of what I might become Ooh Gimme all the rain Gimme all the rain

Dreamless 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Sleepless and dreamless At the end of another day My mind went to pieces When you went so far away Come morning... How long do we wait For the dreams to come? Cause I don't know where All the days have gone I'm laying in wait And it takes so long How long do we wait to dream? Silence and sleeping And all the sounds of another night Sleeping and dreaming Can't be find 'til you find The bright light burning... How long do we wait For the dreams to come? I'm lost in the daze Of the days all gone I'm laying awake And the night's too long How long do we wait to dream? How long do we wait to dream? How long do we wait to dream?
