Lil' Bandit 03:32
VERSE: Up the stairs and through the window Tie your sheets into a rope Through the backyard, to the alley And to the street where the lights Shine down the avenue Stepping over the cracks in sidewalks Limping fast just to escape He's approaching fast behind you With the steel of the blade Shining in the moonlight CHORUS: With a cry in your throat And the sound of his breath Just behind you now, yeah He's gaining ground (x2) You've never seen him before Never seen him before But now you'll see him again For the rest of your life His image burned into your mind VERSE: In the brush inside the darkness With his footsteps coming close You lay in wait as he approaches And with the flash of the knife Blood runs down the avenue
2.
VERSE: I sat in silence Just to bide my time I hung from a thumbnail moon Like a wet blanket Like clipped beaks Cawing at midnight and the static from a broken TV I'm screaming CHORUS: Goodbye teeth Gnashing through smoke Like broken pieces Of a whiskey bottle Yeah, you're gunna get wasted With your life on the line And ya stew on a Monday But Tuesday you feel like cryin' So you look to the moon But it's stayin' quiet So you hide inside yourself And swim down to the bottom Of a bottle of wine VERSE: And I've got nothing To offer up But poor excuses For the way I am Like dog-eared pages Of a thrift store book I bend under the weight Of everything I've done CHORUS: Goodbye teeth Gnashing through smoke Like broken pieces Of a whiskey bottle Yeah, you're gunna get restless With your life on the line No paycheck's been coming For the fifth week at a time Rent is due on a Monday But by Sunday night You're counting bills in a shoebox Til' the sun's starting to rise And you turn To the bottle of wine

O.C. Era 05:23
VERSE: Oh, Sierra, why do you bring me down? (I don't know what you want) Your heart grows cold and you start pushing me around (You get inside my head and you say it again) Every time I'm right, well you say I'm wrong (It's always my fault) But it's all just a ploy so you Feel like you belong (Guess I'll always forget what was said in the end) CHORUS: One of these days, it might be soon The sun is eclipsed behind the moon One of these days you'll wait your turn Oh, Sierra, that time can't come too soon VERSE: Oh, Sierra, why do you hurt so bad? (Was it something I said?) Is it a sign of the times that you used to have? (Do you feel like you're still somehow missing out?) Walking backwards won't get you that far (There's a difference between) Just because you're adored, it don't make you a star (The things that you want and the things that you need) CHORUS: One of these days, it might be soon The sun is eclipsed behind the moon One of these days you'll wait your turn Oh, Sierra, that time can't come too soon OUTRO: All the things you thought that were said against you On the contrary they were only said to help you

Sea Monster 05:34
VERSE: Limbs tight around your neck Wrapped around your throat Try to catch your breath It stops your heart (Right now, right now, right now) Well, c'mon now, hold it together Oh, just give in, that light is getting closer I want it, I want it, I want it to end CHORUS: It's now drownin' you, baby, No matter what you try to do VERSE: Pushin' with all it's strength Forcing you in the dark Swallow your whole body In a single gulp (Right now, right now, right now) Well, c'mon now, hold it together Oh, just give in, that light is getting closer I want it, I want it, I want it to end CHORUS: It's now drownin' you, baby, No matter what you try to do OUTRO: Will you find peace? Peace and harmony? Please, oh please, Just put these eyes to sleep
5.
Nobody Cares 03:29
VERSE: Dear friend, the world can be vicious and dull You can try to ignore it, try and stand tall Conclusions of nothin', no lesson to learn The pain that you feel is the pain that you earned CHORUS: Every word and every thought Inside your head is where it falls apart Fussin' and fightin' won't get you that far Wouldn't be that different if you tried from the start VERSE: Might as well lay here dead as a stone Nothin' you do gets you half the way home Don't whine or complain, cuz nobody cares Dry off those tears and shake off that head CHORUS: Every word and every thought Inside your head is where it falls apart Fussin' and fightin' won't get you that far Wouldn't be that different if you tried from the start OUTRO: Might as well lay here a while Cuz nobody cares Might as well lay here a while Cuz soon you'll be dead
6.
Standing inside awkward time Grinning mad delusion At the hurt, the hate Pretty games of love Too high to initiate flight Too sober for home Flutter of hope springs Lament for youth Hello-hands of the mind Reaching for tact But bracing great mistakes Of poignant thought and headache Influenced by right now Falling in spit of seconds The jarred cry of a wish Wakes up slow To think and ruin Words slide off scope fine And tumble, sigh, And relive sorrow Scrape the sky
7.
VERSE: She'd end up in a single room apartment At the edge of the town (She drinks alone at night) With nothing around her But the buzzing refrigerator sound (With nothing inside) Oh, Lonely Hearts Thousands of footsteps in the corridors Echoed his tune (He works alone at night) And the ghost of her memory Drifts down the hallways and rooms (She dematerialized) CHORUS: Oh, Lonely Hearts VERSE: Now it seems like a million lifetimes ago (In bohemian lands) That she brushed up against him In the evening's carnival glow (Perfume bottle in hand) Oh, Lonely Hearts And when he dialed her number Trying to call her by phone (It continued to ring) It was swallowed by daytime TV and industrial drone CHORUS: Oh, Lonely Hearts

Friendly Foe 03:47
VERSE: Walking in the meadow Under wind and sparrow wing Certain that the village And it's people are in reach Flames of welcome Or fires of future foe Mystic celebrations And elder's tales told CHORUS: Can't survive outside the hive (Completely madness) Look to the sun, stars above (Nothing but air) Lookin' for a reason why (Everything is happening) I'm trapped in my third eye (Something is lost) OUTRO: Run to the sun, run to the sun, Run to the sun, my love
10.
VERSE: Take a breath, the air is cold Exhaling really slow Blood pressure on the rise Dilation of the eyes CHORUS: And I don't know if I can really take it anymore VERSE: Ribs flex against the skin Neurons fire and fear sets in The body pushes to gain control Leadership, it comes from your soul CHORUS: And I don't know if I can really take it anymore
