I put myself in your place Now we're going up a level The voltage that I change Up into the threshold of pain Did you just say something or did you fall Silent Silent Blue Girl Nice Day Slow Dance Sweet Taste Soft Hair Sharp Needle True Story True Story True Story Please don't make a mistake It's going to hurt me more than you The choices that I make Let the current flow through Somewhere someone is crying and someone falls Silent Silent Blue Girl Nice Day Slow Dance Sweet Taste Soft Hair Sharp Needle Blunt Arrow True Story True Story True Story the man in the uniform the man in the white coat called me a good boy and gave me a five dollar note the man in the uniform the man in the white coat said be a good girl and gave me a five dollar note

Watercolours 02:46
Some big complicated story Like our love thing Pay attention Get the message One thing You should know I'm difficult But trust me I can wait I'm a flower on the wall I'm an elevator falling When I see your face I was looking at the time I was a step behind When the picture Changed Watercolours Slide into Watercolours Slide into Each other Just ask Everything I ever wanted But one catch Can't take it back I'm a flower on the wall Of an elevator falling When I see your face I was looking at the time I was a step behind Couldn't dream this day Watercolours Slide into Watercolours Slide into Each other Flowers bloom where colours touch They overlap Get tangled up All tangled up Tears draw a line where colours touch All tangled up We get mixed up Like Watercolours

The Crown 03:24
Driving in the night when the lights went out Was I awake or was I dreaming One-way sign turned around I said Yeah, I know the feeling Was it me or someone else Wearing the crown I could rearrange my face Or let it fade out Maybe you’re just somewhere else Walking around Let me be your negative space A shadow in the background I know the secret now I know the secret now I feel it deep down Walking all the way to here and now I was asleep I wish I was dreaming I’m safe in bed you’re on the town I watch for the headlights across the ceiling Was it me or someone else Wearing the crown I could rearrange my face Or let it fade out Maybe you’re just somewhere else Walking around I don’t read the last page I know how it all plays out I know the secret now I know the secret now A woman anonymous in the crowd I know the secret now I know the secret now A woman anonymous in the crowd I feel it deep down

Words fail and my nets are useless in this wind Can’t catch anything with what I left out on the mend Rainbow in the parking lot at the end of the day I feel like an astronaut So far away Sorry I can’t stay Sorry I can’t stay I’ve got somewhere to be Sorry I can’t stay Sorry I can’t stay I miss you already Dragonfly Look me in the eye Don’t you think it’s crazy? After words After all this time I still want to wait and see Up in the sky Brace yourself For the re-entry There was some time I could not tell Now I see it on repeat Sorry I can’t stay Sorry I can’t stay I’ve got somewhere to be Sorry I can’t stay Sorry I can’t stay I miss you already I forget whatever it was Let’s go back to bed I know what you always say but Can you say it again Sorry I can’t stay Sorry I can’t stay I’ve got somewhere to be Sorry I can’t stay Sorry I can’t stay I miss you already I miss you already

Eraser 02:53
Draw a face from the side She can’t look you in the eye Her body is arranged in the usual way Pull a face in the mirror Call it a rough idea fold it up in half impossible Dust from my eraser Falls between the lines Cuts just like paper So small So painful Draw a face from the crowd I bet I could pick you out Even in the rearview mirror Draw a heart in the steam Only we know what it means Invisible until it rains Dust from my eraser Falls between the lines Cuts just like paper So small So painful So painful

Let it Burn 03:50
Diamond buried in my heart Speak to me and cut through Sleeping Beauty stay where you are nobody can see you Let it cool Let it drown Let it die down Like a fever Getting warmer Getting warmer I should’ve known better Let it lie Let it die Let it y away like the summer Getting number Getting dumber Chase me away whatever I never learn I let it burn Butterfly under my hand Every heart can’t Beat so fast Sleeping Beauty You know who you are Reveal it to me At last Let it cool Let it drown Let it die down Like a fever Getting warmer Getting warmer I should’ve known better Let it lie Let it die Let it fly away like the summer Getting number Getting dumber Looking away forever I never learn I let it burn

Even now I can hardly feel it Spin me around like a planet I’ve got just the trick I’ll make it quick I’m falling over in the forest Everyone’s so nice Just kill the lights Can’t take anymore of this night Magician’s assistant Keep me under glass I’m blowing kisses You’re sawing me in half Magician’s assistant I just have to laugh I’m wishing for wishes I look down from the painted ceiling Figure/ground Your heaven’s so revealing Diamonds in the dirt It doesn’t hurt And then they take the gloves off All that stuff they said Gets in my head Clap my hands and then imagine it Gone Magician’s assistant Keep me under glass I’m blowing kisses You’re sawing me in half Magician’s assistant Everything I have I’m wishing for wishes

Lullaby 02:00
Once upon a time there was a pretty fly He had a pretty wife This pretty fly Then one day She flew away Flew away She had two pretty children But one night these two pretty children Flew away Flew away Into the night Into the moon

Mastermind 03:24
Who knows where it goes Love once here Laid out overground For days or years I am the mastermind knock me over with a feather I fall for it like I always do You caught me just like a picture Or a hand that I could fall right through Moving in space closer on the waves closer on the waves closer Horizon I chase come closer everyday closer everyday closer Tonight I’m not tired Save your tears Truth be untold or disappeared disappeared I am the mastermind knock me over with a feather I fall for it like I always do You only saw my reflection In the mirror that I fall right through Moving in space Slow motion in the waves Horizon fades Come closer everyday Moving in Space Slow motion in a play The writing on my face You know me anyway

Hopefully tomorrow Saves my place Allow me to break this spell Time won’t tell I’m finding out now I’m finding out Now and then I wonder Déjà vu Take it with me everywhere It’s a little unfair I’m finding out now I’m finding out Push the rain up to the clouds Push the sun into the ground Push my heart into my mouth I’m finding out now I’m finding out Hopefully forever saves my place running out of small change we’re all the same I’m finding out now I’m finding out Push the rain back to the clouds Push the sun into the ground Push my heart into my mouth I’m finding out now I’m finding out
