Lyrics:
Machinations
Was it safe from that way?
It fell apart one day
Don’t you see it fits
Somehow we found
It comes around
Don’t change your mind on me, my friend
Will she...won’t she
Painted faces of my machines
Above Solaris
I guess I should’ve never trusted anything that can’t be alone
Maybe it’s all exhaustion trying to dig to see what’s wrong
I connected things
I collected things
Do you think they understand?
I guess I never trusted
Maybe I’m not the man
Remember the night is where we thrive
Stay beneath the colors with me
When all said and done again
I’ll be right here, my dear
Rushing out to meet the danger
Don’t tell me I’m alone
I know how she plays the future
Girl you’re going to reap what you sow
It comes back again, around the bend
It won’t end
It just won’t end
Now I found...we all ascend
Siren’s Call
I’ll drag you down through the black depths of the water
We’ll dream we’re mermaids as the silt fills our lungs
And if you yearn for the surface as we fall
Just remember I’m here too, love
And the currents will shout that they love you, too
And every wrinkle in your skin is the water’s gift to you
Let our love drown us both
While our souls still hold hope
We’ll let our love drown us both
And kiss the liquid that we choke
I’ll drag you down to the bottom of the sea
Like stones we’ll break the schools of fish apart
The pressure only makes you more aware
Of all the frantic beating of your heart
And the wild waves above will sing a chilling tune
Of a million bubbling, gurgling “I love yous”
And I will love you till my skin turns blue
And I will love you till my skin turns blue
We’re sinking, we’re stalling
We’re sleeping, we’re falling
We’re drinking, we’re beating
We’re thinking, we’re cheating
I’ve Done Some Waking Up in my Room
We are somewhere else
They can’t even tell
I’ve done some waking up in my room
I’ve done some waking up in my room
And they say...and they say...and they say...
They’ve caught us all off guard
Did they come to do us harm?
I’ve done some waking up in my room
I’ve done some waking up in my room
And they say...and they say… and they say…
Things are changing shape
Things will change...just wait
I’ve done some waking up in my room
I’ve done some waking up in my room
And they say...and they say… and they say…
We got dangerous eyes
They’ve got dangerous files
I’ve done some waking up in my room
I’ve done some waking up in my room
And they say...and they say… and they say…
Wake up people
It’s time to wake up
Ambivalence
We go through the tides
Without letting anybody else in
We’ve been lost for miles
Oh...we’re so spent
Ambivalence
She hugged and her eyes
Looked out of focus
Not quite right
There’s two sides to your smile
I can see why you’re so important
We go for a while
Till sweet ambivalence
Well hey...aren’t we good friends?
She hugged and her eyes
Looked out of focus
Not quite right
Merry Mary
Through the painted glass
I must have seen you
Beating like a star
To chase the dawn
Tried to capture fate
Inside of of my sight
Looking back again
It was gone
So gone
So gone
So wrong
So long
Blades upon my words
Twist into your back
I can’t make them go away instead
Wishing it was new
And nice to see you
I can’t turn around
And face the sun
So gone
So gone
So wrong
So long
So gone
So gone
So wrong
So long
Down with You
Oh it’s time
I see the conflict in your eyes
Is there nothing there to find?
You asked me to go down with you
But they’re kind
All sorts of colors in their mind
I came down here to try
It’s not much to offer but I’m here on your dime
