Dandelion
my heart is broke
when you are with me
I ain’t lying
and if you’re up and gone
when I awake
you’re far away
then let me know
If you’re coming home
don’t leave me alone
oh I can’t let you go
I got it bad for you
I don’t know what to do
you know it’s true
that you’re my…
Dandelion
kiss me once
if you’re flying back to Texas
say you love me
you’re my little flower
and I’m your honey bee
and you got what I need
so give it to me
oh I can’t let you go
I got it bad about you you
I don’t know what to do
you know it’s true
that you’re mine now
oh I can’t let you go
I got it bad and so do you
I don’t know what I’ll do
and you know it’s true
you know it
I don’t know what to do
you know it’s true
that you’re mine

Best Love
03:40
|
|||
|
still out here searching for you
like I’m looking for a light in the dark
I don’t care if it was true
just give me that little spark
the moment I am alone with you
I won’t let it go to waste
and no one know what we could do
If we just keep a little faith
I’m giving the best love that I know how
I pick you up and never let you down
you’re in my veins, I’m in your cloud
dying to tell you but I don’t know how
my words get lost inside your mouth
a little bit broken but that’s how you know when
you’re giving your best love
you took me to the edge of the earth
and I tried to fill your empty space
god it’s like I’m stuck in reverse
is it always gonna be this way?
the moments I was alone with you
they will never fade away
and no now knows what we went through
we just keep a little faith, keep a little faith
giving the best love that I know how
I pick you up and never let you down
you’re in my veins, I’m in your cloud
dying to tell you but I don’t know how
my words get lost inside your mouth
a little bit broken but that’s how you know when
you’re giving your best love
I’m giving the best love that I know how
I picked you up and you let me down
you’re in my veins, I’m in your cloud
dying to tell you but I don’t know how
my words get lost inside your mouth
a little bit broken but that’s how you know when
I’m a little bit broken
but it’s how you know when
you’re giving your best love

Japan

never here
I’m always somewhere in the cloud
I hear you call my name out loud
I keep my ear to the ground
always looking out
for another way down
a way inside you from this bed
get me out of my head
from every word you said
beyond me to raise the dead
you cut me like a knife and I bled
so come over here
help me put KISS makeup on
tell me that you miss me when I’m gone
up all night singing Tom Waits songs
I’m big in Japan
you turned the radio up
you haunt me like a ghost
in my own bed
get me out of my head
from every word you said
beyond me to raise the dead
you cut me like a knife and I bled
JAPAN, be in my heart
JAPAN, be in my heart
JAPAN, be in my heart
JAPAN, be in my heart
JAPAN, be in my heart
JAPAN, be in my heart
get me out of my head
from all those words, all those words you said
get me out of my head
from every word you said
beyond me to raise the dead
you cut me like a knife and I bled

Four Ghosts
03:43
|
|||
|
one more morning
one more afternoon
looking for ghosts
in a house full of empty rooms
remember better times
back when all of this was mine
now the windows closed
the doors all locked
I’m still reeling
over the words you said
how we made wishes
on all the wrong stars instead
of planting in the ground
a seed too deep to just dig out
what about the time
you kissed my head
and you said
will you let me go?
will you let me go?
I don’t want to go
I don’t want to go
I’m building machines
made up of robot parts
good for replacing
the tragedy of little broken hearts
nothing but oil and steel
anything to just not feel
it’s about time
somebody broke the wheel
so let’s cut a deal
will you let me go?
will you let me go?
I don’t want to go
I don’t want to go

I Got You
03:47
|
|||
|
catching light in the sun
shooting ghosts with our old cap guns
we catch fireflies and set them free
cause I got you, babe
you know that you got me
in the park holding hands
guarding posts, doing handstands
the ants make kings
laying down their life for the Queen
this will all turn to dust, she said
you just wait and see
outside it’s getting dark
the sun never get’s to hang with the stars
never together and always apart
so cruel, but I got you
take my hand, let’s go
diving into the great unknown and see
close your eyes and count to three
muddy toes in the river
she kissed me in the poplar tree
outside it’s getting late
the lines blur on the edge of the page
floating on a planet in outer space
ain’t so cool unless I got you
outside it looks like rain
dark clouds and a sinking feeling
what do you do when the whole world’s in pain
how do you help when the whole world’s bleeding out
a pair of lips and shattered eyes
a tall stranger, blacked out sky lines
no forever goodbyes or boring blues
not when I got you
not when I’ve got you

Vampire
03:33
|
|||
|
dim the lights in shadow sadness
the years give away to madness
never in a single place too long
I’ve been waiting for your dark wind
dissipate and kissing lips
distant and cold
clouds speak, thunder-walled
it’s raining on all the cars
so take me now
anywhere you want to go
and I’ll lie
say it’s alright
give you my blood
will it be enough
when the light goes out
held hands and crossed our fingers
said we never tasted honey sweeter
but all things have passed
or all things will pass in time
I’ve been sitting in your darkness
stolen breath and fingertips
press on your skin
to find a way back in
I lie
say it’s alright
give you my blood
but it’s never enough
I’ll fight tired eyes
teeth entwined
with you, my love
when the lights go out
you don’t have to say it
cause I know what you’re thinking
anyone can feel the ship when it’s sinking
used to say I wasn’t going down
without a fight
but now I sit and wait for midnight
to disappear into the sky
I have changed but I am still the same
when I lie
say it’s alright
give you my blood
but it’s never enough
let me up let me up
I’ll fight tired eyes
give you my blood
but it’s never enough
when the lights go out

Albatross
04:16
|

|
lift me up out of this albatross
send me flying through the stars
far away from all that we lost
how’d it get so hard?
to reach across this bed of stone
or to hold you in my arms
we turned fire into ashes and bones
in an endless war
you can’t say I didn’t warn you up front
I always showed you who I was
so if you’ve gone and given up on us
don’t lie and say it never was love
it was magic and you know it was
we just used it up
we just used it up
theres no shame in battles lost
long as both sides show up
there’s no way to measure out the cost
of a dying love
but you can’t say I didn’t warn you up front
no, I always showed you who I was
so if you’ve gone and given up on love
don’t lie and say it always was tough
it was magic and you know it was
we just used it up
oh, albatross
oh, albatross
oh, albatross
you can’t say you never saw it up front
the cloth that I was cut out from
so if you’ve gone and given up on us
don’t lie and say it never was love
it was magic and you know it was
we just used it up
we just used it up
we just used it up
we just used it up

Destroyer
03:27
|
|||
|
rise and fall
you fucks always
come in on a high tide
can’t get what you got
unless I show up with a cosign
gatekeepers good for nothing
but pulling out their dicks for sucking
so get in line if you came here to settle
the watched pot pours salt from the kettle
so precious
clean blood
no sign of infection
no one left to stop you now
(this is what you wanted)
no one left to suck you down
you’re a total destroyer
you’re just a fucking destroyer
soulless empty shell
you can dip your words into honey
and buy your way out of hell
with your great grandaddy’s blood money
tastemakers get you on the a-list
if you’re cool lying down with a rapist
close your eyes and let them finish
if you want a shot at your fifteen minutes
so precious
fresh meat
no time for confession
there’s no one left to stop you now
(this is what you wanted)
no one there to shut you down
you’re a total destroyer
you’re not a real heartbreaker
you’re just another wannabe faker
there’s no one else to shut you down
cause you’re a fucking destroyer
there’s no one left to stop you now
(this is what you wanted)
and no one left to shut you down
you’re a total destroyer
you’re gonna make me say it
it’s obvious you were born to fake it
there’s no one left to figure you out
you’re a total destroyer
you’re a total destroyer
you’re a total destroyer

Full Stop
03:28
|
|||
|
I got no answers to the questions
so what do you want to know
I’ll tell you what I believe to be true
before I let you go
there’s no such thing as perfection
no straight line you can walk
you’ll size me up with those starry eyes
but all you do is just talk
you and I will learn to love full stop
you hit the bottom there’s a brand new top
the lines are drawn between
the road and the Rubicon
but they’re about to get blurred and lost
don’t anybody wanna talk about it
unless they got a megaphone
they scream and shout it
I got no sense of direction
I can’t tell you where to go
the truth is people talk a lot about god
but no one here really knows
what happens when we all split
divide the chips and jump ship
sometimes the world feels like a great big ride
and I want off of it
cause you and I will learn to love full stop
you hit he bottom there’s a brand new top
the lines are drawn between
the road and the Rubicon
but they’re about to get blurred and lost
don’t anybody wanna talk about it
unless they got a megaphone
they scream and shout it
so come on over, baby
tell me that you’re still in love
cause you’re the only thing
I swear that I’ve been thinking of
blank check, stacked deck
get the rope off of my neck
the pushes turning to shoves
questions, what is it you want to know
I’ll tell you what I believe to be true
and then I’ gonna let go
you and I will learn to love full stop
you rob a bank and there is always a cop
the lines are drawn between
the road and the Rubicon
they’re about to get blurred and lost
cause everybody wants to talk about it
and get a megaphone
we can scream and shout it
everybody wants to talk about it
and get a megaphone
we can scream and shout it

New Blood
02:59
|

|
wish that I would lighten up
fade into the rocks and the dust
she always said if you don’t run you'll rust
somehow I separated
her into three new places
mother, daughter now
the Holy Ghost
so give me that new blood
right now
will you kiss me before the flood?
and give me that new blood
I broke down in a parking lot
someone must have set me up
running out of people I can trust to fight
she loved me yesterday
got up and walked away
there’s nothin’ left for me to say
gave all my love and luck to sirens
so give me that new blood
right now
I want the new blood
give me that new blood
right now
come and kiss me before the flood
and give me that new blood
so give me that new blood
right now
I want the new blood
give me that new blood
right now
kiss me before the flood
cause I need the new blood

Reservoir
03:44
|
|||
|
alone in my dark dreams
carved initials into haunted trees
stranger than your hidden things
the lights go out on empty streets
I lie down in a secret reservoir
waiting to find out where you are
reservoir
can’t undo the plans of god
taste blood, try and move along
like painting in the dead dark
like hiding all your beauty marks
I lie down in a secret reservoir
waiting to find out where you are
I lie down in a secret reservoir
reservoir
lovely and blue
I’ll wait for you
the path in the forest
will disappear
will disappear
will disappear

Lie For Love
03:07
|
|||
|
your empty platitudes
and lack of gratitude
I used to love your
distant thunder
but I’d rather not
hear it from you now
horizons capsizing
in your eyes
and I know who you’re thinking of
empty and unforgiven
fit like a hand into a glove
don’t let me down
come on
lie to me for love
pretty girl with a pretty mouth
throws rocks in a big glass house
she wants to know why you let her go
she wants to know
what you’re all about now
horizon capsizing
in your eyes
and I know who you’re thinking of
empty and unforgiven
fit like a hand into the glove
so don’t let me down
come on
lie to me for love
lie for love
lie for love
lie for love
lie for love

Over
03:57
|

|
you believed in me
then you gave up
was I holding out
for rotten luck
and did we pull ourselves
from the ocean floor
just to hedge our bets
on a golden shore
wherever you are now
wherever you are now
wherever you are now
I’m glad it’s over
well, I promise you
I’m not losing sleep
the only thing here
lost is me
but I rest my head
cause I found out
what it was you were all about
wherever you are now
wherever you are now
wherever you are now
I’m glad it’s over
I’m gonna let you out like I let you in
bury my love in the ground
so I can begin again
I’m gonna let you out like I let you in
wherever you are now
wherever you are now
wherever you are now
I’m glad it’s over
I’m glad it’s over
I’m glad it’s over
