2.	Hello 03:26	lyrics
I need you to read What you say to me Let's watch some TV Have something to see Don't forget your coat It's summer I know Chills come from below Pain creating snow I'm not tired, I won't let go Every time I see you, I say hello Hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello Hello, oh Hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello Hello, oh I'm caught in your stare It doesn't seem fair That you even care I love you, I swear We'll go off the feel That feeling is real Hues shifting to teal Colorblind and surreal I'm not tired, I won't let go Every time I see you, I say hello Hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello Hello, oh
3.	Rerun 04:17	lyrics
Foolish stormy ways On that bloodied, bastard day It's a pity it's just a lie Oh, white as the skies And the snow that fills my eyes The angel dust of stars on my lap I live in a rerun Over and over again I live in a rerun Over until it ends Time after time It's a spectrum of a cry Until the fat remains with the lord Oh, white as the skies From the start I said I'd rise And villains out of heroes is scorned I live in a rerun Over and over again I live in a rerun Life just never ends, oh no I've seen through these shadows These ashes These leaves I've seen through these shadows These ashes These leaves I've seen through your shadows Your ashes Your leaves I've seen through your shadows Your ashes Your leaves I live in a rerun Over and over again I live in a rerun Life just never ends
4.	Dividends 02:46	lyrics
You make the payments I'll sit and stare We write the answers On a questionaire (Question, Answer, Question) You owe the money I'll pay the bills We'll sit and worry You know the drill (Money, Worry, Money) The dollar is a sin A sunken cost We'll get our dividends Once we have lost You clean the ashtray I'll mop the floor No-one has been here Let's give a tour (Ashtray, Been Here, Ashtray) The boss is upstairs So keep it down We'll be the heroes He'll be a clown (Upstairs, Heroes, Upstairs) The dollar is a sin A sunken cost We'll get our dividends Once we have lost We'll get our dividends Once we have lost
5.	Shy Girl Beaming 04:03	lyrics
I saw you when You were so close to me Under the light I feel Found, in your warm arms You came with me After the tension and Failed intervention The trust to choose, your endless charms I had to resign and see you for What you really were A diamond left with those scars Because of the things she always heard I wondered if Any one else would have Seen the person I was Would they even stay? I had to Remember the things that I Told you when we were alone What did I say? I had to resign and see you for What you really were A diamond left with those scars Because of the things she always heard I noticed that I'm so close to Someone, it feels like I'm dreaming I love my shy girl beaming It's just my shy girl beaming Your beauty goes Beyond the Plains or our Garlanding days but I still Can't resist you If something could Get in the way of our Life and our hopes you would Make sure it was through I had to resign and see you for What you really were A diamond left with those scars Because of the things she always heard When troubles got In to the thick of it Everyone's sick of it I turned to your face When lovers had Nothing that's left but the Seas that they manifest I fell in your grace I had to resign and see you for What you really were A diamond left with those scars Because of the things she always heard I love my shy girl beaming It's just my shy girl beaming
6.	Dirge 05:23	lyrics
Always standing apart Breaking bonds, breaking my heart When will you stand always near, my love? Always stand near my love When will you hold me to a higher standard? I've seen your works of art It's hard to finish what I start When will you hold me up in the air while I breathe? Up in the air like a trophy? When will you hold me to a higher standard? I miss when we would laugh I want to always try to crash When will you hold me to a higher standard?
7.	Marathon 04:26	lyrics
You'd like to see me fall down I know because I had to turn around You don't believe in me Well that's just fine You don't believe in yourself Well that's a lie I'm tired of this pity and all this fun I'm running over and over Like a marathon You don't have all this substance down You don't have to put on a frown You don't need to look at me with those eyes I need an answer, just tell me why you cried It's not a pleasure to have to hear complaints But it would help if you told me anything You don't believe in me Well that's just fine You don't believe in yourself Well that's a lie I'm tired of this pity and all this fun I'm running over and over Like a marathon If this feeling this mutual You know what that means We got to split our ways Cut our losses, see? I don't believe in wasting time with you It's not worth anything to see what you do So spare me your false smiles and your nods It might not bug you deep down But it fucks with me a lot You don't believe in me Well that's just fine You don't believe in yourself Well that's a lie I'm tired of this pity and all this fun I'm running over and over Like a marathon You don't believe in me Well that's just fine You don't believe in yourself Well that's a lie I'm tired of this pity and all this fun I'm running over and over Like a marathon
8.	Dead Starlight 04:45	lyrics
I've been praying I've been waiting I've been hoping one day I'll give in I've been wishing I've been missing I've been trying to some day afford peace Just surrender your bigoted thoughts of the world At the door You were meant to We were meant to We were meant to (always) fall in love I was singing and I was thinking That your memories have brunette eyes Just surrender your bigoted thoughts of the world At the door You were meant to We were meant to We were meant to (always) fall in love After darkness After sorrow After everything we were still together Just surrender your bigoted thoughts of the world At the door You were meant to We were meant to We were meant to (always) fall in love With the seasons As it freezes Feeling breezes slowly accumulate No more moments No more seconds Just a monolithic love that I have felt Just surrender your bigoted thoughts of the world At the door You were meant to We were meant to We were meant to (always) fall in love After passions After tensions After everything we were still together Just surrender your bigoted thoughts of the world At the door You were meant to We were meant to We were meant to (always) fall in love Fall in love Fall in love
9.	That Forever Glow 03:28	lyrics
I don't remember I'm just confused I need an answer Before I choose Sing a song All I know Sing along To that forever glow I want to hurry I don't know why I just need someone To let me cry Sing a song All I know Sing along To that forever glow As seasons dim As leaves will fall So too will brothers As do they all Sing a song All I know Sing along To that forever glow A devil's idol All in my face A nest for lovers Who were disgraced Sing a song All I know Sing along To that forever glow An art form severed Burned into the ground I can't believe it As we go back around Sing a song All I know Sing along To that forever glow Half-afternoons and full weeks There is no time For us to sleep Sing a song All I know Sing along To that forever glow Sing a song All I know Sing along To that forever glow To that forever glow To that forever glow To that forever ...
10.	Colorblind (in a Sea of Hues) 04:16	lyrics
Feels like a lifetime But I turned away for a moment Oceans of your passion As waves turn into your emotions Tell you everything will be all right Tell me everything will be just fine Don't reserve your patience for those who tried to lie Sinners who are broken heartened cry and angels who remember past lives die Your inner-demons want you to realize this sea of hues yet I am colorblind Star-gazing icons 'til the flowers that we grew fall apart Nightmares continue But so too as Saturn eclipses Mars Tell you everything will be all right Tell me everything will be just fine Don't reserve your patience for those who tried to lie Sinners who are broken heartened cry and angels who remember past lives die Your inner-demons want you to realize this sea of hues yet I am colorblind Waiting for my father To let me hold his hand so I'm not alone Twenty years have intervened and I look back with a smile as I've grown He'd tell me everything will be all right He'd tell me everything will be just fine Don't reserve your judgment for those who had to lie Sinners who are broken heartened cry and angels who remember past lives die Your inner-demons want you to realize this sea of hues yet I am colorblind
