The Bay 05:08
I was standing by the bay, waiting for someone to call my name Tell me just who I should be, take my mind, take my memory And the golden kiss of the sun Makes my mind slide by and by 'til it's undone The future's mirroring the past And there's nothing we want, there's nothing for which we could ask You were lying in the yard, wild berries wild wild thoughts Whole worlds swirling 'round your eyes Just as many as in the sky I've got cool mornings in my mind Sweet vibrations by my side And it's cold, it's nice, this land of mine Throw me to that big black sky

Acid Naps 07:23
Go to sleep my baby, you're so sweet and crazy for me now The world you're in is lazy, so dream, dream slowly Where do the days go, what might you dream of? Where does a life go, and why oh why do they start at all? Do you want me right now, to touch you, to feel your heart? In the silent sheets, it's only ever you and me So whisper to my heart, that your eyes will always be Mirrors of the northern sea where you first loved me Rest your mind my darling, it's alright just cold and dark It's one long life you're stuck in, so dream, dream slowly.

The freaks are on the radio and the whores are at the show I'm hiding in my friends' apartment, melting away with the snow Now watch the kid, the mindless one try hard to get it right The sounding chimes of freedom turned to just a painful burning light For now Think of all your friends and all the places they have been Pray you don't fall in the pool of everything that they'll forget And sitting uninspired in some dull and crowded house Having second thoughts about every choice you've made Before now But oh my one true love, please don't let me die You're the only moment that I'm ever really in And all of the world's beauty is in your eyes Four sweaty boys with guitars can't tell me shit about my life Yeah, that's my life And a room in the sky full of men wearing ties can't control me Or console me, at all A big house in the countryside I thought we would be alright My dear, don't you trust me now I thought we'd be fine somehow
4.
I feel the warmth of the sunrise, i feel your heart inside my hand I'm getting lost in your eyes, falling down, falling down And if you could taste the sky, would you bit the stars with your teeth And warm your heart with the orange clouds? Taste colors, taste colors
5.
Uptown 05:00
There's brown water on the TV screen, bored faces in cars keep shooting past me, black men in gas masks and rose colored glasses I could end it so quickly I'm not sure why I haven't now. I make no one happy so why even bother, I just keep falling farther and farther, try to surround myself with love, you could watch me fall into over and over and over and over and over and over again and again. Every other night I feel my heart fly, and every other night, I lie around and wonder why, it's always the same no matter where go, back and forth between feeling brave and feeling so alone. The drugs are gone and you're feeling overwhelmed by all that you've become, kind and lovely and simple and free but that's not how you seem to see yourself. The girls with their legs and all the boys with their glasses, they smile so quickly and quickly walk past, the punks on their bikes and the hip-hop lovers, and all of the lights won't let me close my eyes. I wanna close my eyes just one last time. Every other day I go insane, and every other day, I cloud my head and fade away, it's always the same, no matter what I do, back and forth between, suicide and lying here with you.

My Storm 03:46
My storm tears through the sky She goes off and floats away Crash of life and cold Pour down into me My heart is warm
7.
Everyone around me is sighing, too broken to stand back up Every time I think to go out walking, I always lock myself up And my head weighs a fuckin' ton, almost as much as my heart They drag me down whenever I'm in town, I could do it if you told me where to start I desperately relit some old cigarette, but sadly my mind is still runnin' Why'd I put myself here? I don't know. I wanna go again but I got nothing. These lows and these highs, keep on twistin my mind. I'd leave em all behind if I didn't love em. Back to where I started, just for a quick stop in. Thanks again, but you know, I gotta go. So we walked back into the unknown Our fingers laced so tightly Frightened of the fast approaching cold Tired of this aimlessness game What happened to my home? And where did all my money go? Which friends are real? They all just seem so cordial Hey boss-man, gimme back my soul
8.
Melting Me 05:44
There's a devil on my shoulder that I don't believe in and an angel lying naked in the bed that I sleep in, I've made a lot of mistakes but how do you escape from the cage that you breathe in? Drifting off to sleep on the side of the street in the blackboard jungle dreaming of the cold sea, who will you be? what will you see? in that hole in your mind where you use to be. You're melting me. And all I can do is hold on to you. I wish I could believe with all of my being in some mighty mighty thing, but chemicals think, they clash within me, and maybe that's all I will be.

I cracked the screen behind my brain and now I cannot see your face Bit off my tongue to stop the pain now your eyes are all I can taste I left my heart out in the rain to try and wash my pain away Like metal falling from the tape, time only can bear down on me Throw me in the river, bury me in the sand Feed off of my body, make me a real man Five thousand crazed faces, ten thousand dead eyes Drowning in their secret, boy you better hide.
