After the show, I'm all alone Singing the blues by myself You know I went and broke my heart I only tore it all apart I can't let a good thing start Just another bottle or two And I'll be totally wasted in this chair I'm in despair I gotta see you everywhere I wanted to be The face that you'd see When you made eyes across a dance floor You just can't understand That I'm just a man That loves you more than he can explain Strange this common a crush Should make me feel lush Like I should just rush right away Please let me stay Gotta rush right away from your heart Lost in the glow Didn't even know How to be myself when I was with you I dreamt you were a Northern Star But then I tore the dream apart I can't let a good thing start Just another bottle or two And I'll be totally wasted in this chair I'm in despair I gotta see you everywhere I wanted to be The face that you'd see When you made eyes across a dance floor You just can't understand That I'm just a man That loves you more than he can explain Strange this common a crush Should make me feel lush Like I should just rush right away Please let me stay Gotta rush right away from your heart Look into your eyes blows my mind, baby every time I look into your eyes Look into

Fractal 03:56
A crumbling parapet between your heart and mine There is nothing that can stem the poison tide Baby, you are filled with bile and I am filled with brine Just waiting to collide Beneath a broken sky, blue fractals in your eyes Only half reflect haloed clouds around your mind On the green line train, breathing steam onto the pane You would start to sing If you go, than I go; We go down together Can't you see that I'm a wreck My heart is just a mess In the quiet hour that you would spend with me Our love was golden sun diffused beneath the trees But now the aperture has closed like no sun has ever shone But my tired heart can see As we drift around in empty airless space A litany echoes all the words we used to say A whispering refrain of your haunted name Baby we are both to blame If you go, than I go; We go down together Can't you see that I'm a wreck My heart is just a mess It's so hard just to get out of bed somedays I'm so tired of living in this gray Is there nothing that can cut through all the haze But you and me going out in a blaze If you go, than I go; We go down together Can't you see that I'm a wreck My heart is just a mess

You can try to pretend you don't mind But girl I know your love is this vicious kind You're gonna tear me apart limb from limb Gonna break my heart with your cute little grin Your love is the vicious kind All is lost, the ship's gonna sink All of your love is bringing me to the brink Hurt ain't the word I'd use to describe The power of your love, It's the vicious kind

Lush 03:40
Feeling lush, blue skin, the sea will crush All of your happy voices singing Out of touch, making the least of much Fading into hours like the dust How do I decide? Moving on, relating to the dawn Gold is then scattered all throughout the day Touch to tongue, paper dissolves the sun Out of the luminescence she will come How do I decide?

Don't be cruel, I can't take it anymore Don't be cruel, to me love Don't be cruel

Oh No! 03:30
Melting like a plastic doll inside a sun You say I'm fine, you shine me on, but then your gone But nothings worse than love that hurts It breaks you down But silly girl, I've up and gone Who's foolish now? You give me that "come hither smile" But I don't want it You know I don't want it I can't believe that that's all you think of me Oh no! I had it all, I gave it up to sleep in late I'm fine with that, it's over now No need to wait You give me that "come hither smile" But I don't want it You know I don't want it I can't believe that that's all you think of me Oh no!

Eating all the sunshine Playing tricks on my eyes Flying through the snowy skies I'm in love Body in the bed sheets Watching all the repeats I wish I was homebound I'm in love I wish I could dance girl I wish I could change the world I wish I could end wars I'm just in love Heavy like a solid stone Every since I took the throne Now I just want to go home Find me some love

Disappear 04:21
Trace the sun inside your hand Circles down until you understand Let yourself gently float away watch it leave, forget your name Maybe something else can make you feel real But I doubt it dear All the time I went and wasted wishing someday that I would be here Never mind the dark devotion to a notion that I could see clear Turn the water into wine to a nickel or a dime Baby, disappear Nobody wants to tell you that you're wrong, but you're wrong Maybe something else can make you feel real But I doubt it dear All the time I went and wasted wishing someday that I would be here Never mind the dark devotion to a notion that I could see clear Turn the water into wine to a nickel or a dime Baby, disappear

I am a cloud close to the ground I make no sound when you're around I am a swimmer learning to sink Find some deep current to cradle me I know the choice is mine Happiness is mine to lose or find Hey, Mr. Sun you cannot run from me forever Dear Lady Moon, I've played your fool Now I know better When I see you I know the truth When skies turn grey I know you'll stay When I wake up When I fall asleep I have no cares, I know you're mine to keep I know the choice is mine Happiness is mine to lose or find Hey, Mr. Sun you cannot run from me forever Dear Lady Moon, I've played your fool Now I know better
