Breathe out, I know we do. I'm waning from me to you. I've lost my way, I've lost my way, I've lost my way, yes it's true. Dear brother, I hope we win, It's laid out to fight for kin. But you've lost your way, You've lost your way, I can see you've lost your way, Yes, it's true. Ooh, why'd you turn the lights down sugar, now? Ooh, why'd you turn the lights down sugar, now? You know it's true, we do. Why'd you turn the lights down sugar, yeah? It's true, Why'd you turn the lights out baby, yeah, Oh no! Another would say it's off, I'm crawling inside because I'm soft. We've lost our way, We've lost our way, We've lost our way, There's no turning back. Ooh, why'd you turn the lights down sugar, now? Ooh, why'd you turn the lights down sugar, now? You know we do, it's true, Why'd you turn the lights down sugar, now? It's true, why'd you turn the lights out baby, yeah, Oh no!

There's a gun where your mouth used to be, There's a heart in the cross of a "T", Silence is difficult. What was land's now confused with what's time, It's not yours and I'm searching for mine, Resigning what I hold. Who are you? Who are you to say that it wouldn't work? Apologies are coming first, Before we throw away those arms. Where were we? Where were we when we said that it wouldn't last? Isolation is coming fast, Hugging me with all four walls, oh. I'm dried up and belong in a sea, We're all brands with a filter disease, Designing what's exposed. Chemicals are produced to survive, I'm erased, just a glimpse in your mind, Resigning what's unknown. Who are you? Who are you to say that it wouldn't work? Apologies are coming first, Before we throw away those arms. Where were we? Where were we when we said that it wouldn't last? Isolation is coming fast, Hugging me with all four walls, oh. Hugging me with all four walls, oh.

True Blue 04:34
You, you know you’re so good to me, But I am floating down, Despite all our chemistry, When you are closing down. Rifle, I wanna be your rifle. I wanna be true blue for you. Rifle, I wanna be your wife again. I wanna be true blue for you. We know we’ve got some distance past, The silence has floated down, And eaten all of our mystery. We’re stuck in underground. Rifle, I wanna be your rifle. I wanna be true blue for you. Rifle, I wanna be your wife again. I wanna be true blue for you. You know you’re just so good to me, You’re just so… You know you’re so good to me.

Bad Habits 03:23
I have a hard time, Watching things fade out, I'd rather see them burn away. I thought I would become a bigger person though I didn't think I'd leave you today. A hard shell requires a kind of soft inside otherwise everything would break. Internally petrified by my own discharge, and I'm not innocent of late. So blame me for your own downpour. So blame me, Silence crying closed doors in my folly. It's getting distant now, electric lights unfold, I couldn't stay up past the gate. It seemed a good dream that turned neon inside, and now it's leaking upon the stakes. You said it would be fine to let the thoughts unfold, and honesty was just a fake. But I am not so sure about your religious cure, you weren't waiting at the bait. So blame me, for prolonged response. So blame me, for yourself justifying bad habits. Oh you've got bad habits. And I'm over it.

Swing 03:31
Saw it in your eyes when you woke up the other day, You were sitting in your same place, same time. You called it as you saw it, there was something wrong with you, But a lifetime hadn’t started so long ago. Swing, baby swing, ‘Cause you couldn’t get back down from him. There was something different in the way it was just so much simpler then. Swing, baby swing, ‘Cause you couldn’t get back down from him. It was just too long for one stay, It was just too late for today. You called out just to hear you get turned back down again, You were searching for your own place this time. You’re younger when you noticed that you couldn’t be like them, But you washed it all away when you were raising them, so Swing, baby swing, ‘Cause you couldn’t get back down from him. There was something different in the way it was just so much simpler then. Swing, baby swing, ‘Cause you couldn’t get back down from him. It was just too long for one stay, It was just too late for today.

Save these purple thoughts for the one I love for
what’s pure inside. Dreaming five-colored lies, break me down inside so I’m one to love. 
Our lust
bottled up alive. Bury these purple stones, see me in purple sound, want you to want light. Saying that these nodes will pass I’m lying, I’ll close the casket, brimming full of life. 
Our lust
bottled up alive.

Does my silence make you feel numb now? Is it scaling down the pain you love to take? Hey, we’re driving for some time, love, But your hand stays on the wheel, I’m drifting away. You think we’re scratching on the surface Of something good enough for you but you couldn’t taste. Then your idols will make you feel nauseous, You’d need diamonds on your shoes to walk today. Nothing’s wrong with me, What’s the matter with you? Is life not according to plan? And I’m flicking distant thoughts, Running along with you, What’s the matter with you today? There are trifles on the water, And your voice sounds like reverb upon the sand. I’m getting exhausted from soaking fine lines, now. Trying to love myself when you are in your head. Nothing’s wrong with me, What’s the matter with you? Is life not according to plan? And I’m flicking distant thoughts, Running along with you, What’s the matter with you today? x2

Watered Down 03:43
Isn’t there something reaching out from the light? Isn’t it the most serious way that we say our good nights? And I’m losing my innocence through a shadow on your door, And I’m losing my common sense through what’s been blazing dreams, I’m watered down. You said you wanted temptation back and I knew I did too, It’s that all of these perfect thoughts don’t bring me closer to you. And if I seem I’m in a pivotal form when you say we’re OK, I really wanna believe you back, ‘cause we’re lovelier this way. And my Rising said to me, “Lion Child, you’re watered down. You’re watered down.” Isn’t it racing by with your heart on a stove? Seemed to be the most critical place when all we wanted was more. And I found my salvation back when eight legs shared those keys, Lofted up on an ethereal high when the spider ran to my knees. And my Rising said to me, “Lion Child, you’re watered down. You’re watered down.” Isn’t there something reaching out from the light?

Overzealous 03:33
When you looked into the cross said you looked into the mirror. Your face keeps on changing putting out these words that I couldn’t guess. When you put it in a safe is it getting any clearer? Thin lines dot my fingers, I’m looking for a place I can get some rest. I know I said I’d promise to turn off the lights this time but my thoughts keep undressing, seducing me from the inside. A silence is replaced with series of overzealous dreams, A silence is replaced with series of overzealous dreams. There’s demons in the night let me keep you on the inside. I’m caught in your belt as I’m losing all my lucid control. A buzzing shatters all the warm that we’re keeping from the ice box. Grey faces all around us, we’re looking for a place we can let go. I know I said I’d promise to turn off the lights this time but my thoughts keep undressing, seducing me from the inside. A silence is replaced with series of overzealous dreams, A silence is replaced with series of overzealous dreams, A silence is replaced with series of overzealous dreams.
