    Jealousy, is standing on the edge
    Seems like, a million years ago
    So she just wants to touch the heavens

  2. Wrap Myself Around
    Lyrics
    I took you up against the wall
    On the rooftop we climbed through broken windows
    It’s how alive you make me feel
    Shot a photograph to capture you and prove that this is realI wanna wrap myself around you
    So you can never get awayAnd I don’t want to let you go
    In this factory, it’s cranks and shafts that shatter glass
    From the streets a massive noise
    Tanks and atoms bombs explode, but I can only hear your voiceI wanna wrap myself around you
    So you can never get away
    It doesn’t matter what they do to me now
    Cos I will never sleep again
    (Again, again, ahh, ahh)All those nights we stayed awake
    Up on the fire escape
    And our fear of heights, still all the things we did
    And all the things we sayOh..
    OhhhhI wanna wrap myself around you
    (I wanna wrap myself around you)
    So you can never get away
    (So you can never get away)
    It doesn’t matter what they do to me now
    I wanna wrap myself around you
    So you can never get away
  3. Big Shot
    Lyrics
    So here we go
    It’s making me sick again
    She’s beautiful
    Yeah she will be in your most perverted dreamsSo let it go
    And take it to the next level
    Then bring it on
    If you’ve got something to say then step up to the plateBig shot yeah-eah

    Big shot yeah-eah
    (I want to be with you)

    And watch from your mobile home
    She’s moving out
    God I’ve waited so longBig shot yeah-eah

  4. The Chase
    Lyrics
    ”Drive” you said
    “Just blow me away”
    We don’t wait to be saved
    We’ll dream wide awake
    Words that you said
    Burn holes through my brain
    And I’ll never be the same again…You can pray all you want
    We’re not coming back oh…
    All these thoughts, they just fade away…The chase is on
    If you run
    I will follow you…
    And I belong in your arms
    Dying next to you
    The chase is on…”Drive” you said
    With tears down your face
    I’ve got to see the stars
    Is that so hard?
    Secrets that day
    I’ll take to the grave
    Yeah, no one can catch us now…You can pray all you want
    We’re not coming back oh…
    We’re the feelings above the flame…The chase is on
    If you run
    I will follow you…
    And I belong in your arms
    Dying next to you
    The chase is on…The chase is on
    If you run
    I will follow you
    And I belong in your arms
    Dying next to you…
    The chase is on
    If you run
    I will follow you…
    The chase is on
    I belong in your arms…

    The. Chase. Is. On

  6. Rebel Yell
    Lyrics
    Last night a little dancer
    Came dancin’ to my door
    Last night a little angel
    Came pumpin’ on my floorShe said, “Come baby
    I’ve got license for love
    And if it expires
    Pray help from above”Because in the midnight hour
    She cried more, more, more
    With a rebel yell
    She cried more, more, moreIn the midnight hour
    Babe, more, more, more
    With a rebel yell
    More, more, more, more, more, moreShe don’t like slavery
    She won’t sit and beg
    But when I’m tired and lonely
    She sees me to bedWhat set you free
    And brought you to me, babe?
    What set you free
    I need you here by meBecause in the midnight hour
    She cried more, more, more
    With a rebel yell
    She cried more, more, more

    In the midnight hour
    Babe, more, more, more
    With a rebel yell
    More, more, more

    He lives in his own heaven
    Collects it to go from the ‘Seven Eleven’
    Well, he’s out all night to collect a fare
    Just so long, just so long, it dont’s mess up his hair

    I walk the wars with you, babe
    A thousand miles with you
    I dried your tears of pain
    A million times for you

    I’d sell my soul for you, babe
    For money to burn with you
    I’d give you all and none, babe
    Just to, just to, just to, just to, to have you here by me

    Because in the midnight hour
    She cried more, more, more
    With a rebel yell
    She cried more, more, more

    In the midnight hour
    Babe, more, more, more
    With a rebel yell
    She cried more, more, more, more, more, more

    Lyrics
    Good soldiers cry
    The battle rages on
    Marching side by side
    One fight for the homeFind your way home

    Far from the ones we left
    Just take my hand
    I won’t let goHome…Find your way home

  8. Goodnight, Goodbye
    Lyrics
    You say I think I am leavable
    That he got drained
    All the colors have left
    Oh but you know right now
    You’d do it again
    Cause I waited my whole life
    You said I made him so colorless
    And that the air just got so cancerous
    Deep in the right school play
    With thee wrong scene
    I guess it changes everythingSo we’re on time
    To say good night
    But we know that
    It means good-byeSay that It made him so colorless
    That the air just got so cancerous
    I bet you know right now
    You’d do it again
    Cause I waited my whole lifeSo we are on time
    To say good night
    But we know that
    It’s like good-byeYou’re all that I have now
    So don’t never let me go
    You’re all that I have now
    So don’t never let me go
    You’re all that I have now
    So don’t never let me go
    You’re all that I have now
    So don’t never let me go
    You’re all that I have now
  9. Someone Do Something
    Lyrics
    Ive been waiting for the day when the sun goes away never to returnopens up a modern age, bright white but was grey
    And they can never catch usOh dont take this from me
    I need to believe
    In something
    I wont protest this leave
    Im falling to pieces
    Oh no someone do somethingIve got one long crazy dream that heaven fought out
    troubled teens and anorexic girls, but it lasted twenty years
    and none brought to tears and no one can wake meOh the bright young things we never sleep
    we just lie down while we dream
    someone do something
    im falling to pieces,
    no one matters does anythingOh the bright young things
    we never sleep
    we just lie down
    while we dream
    someone do something
    im falling to piecesOh what matters
    What matters
    What matters
    Oh
    What matters
  10. Last Night Here
    Lyrics
    This is our last night here
    The air is cold as ice
    All the trees that lost their leaves
    Are reflected in our eyes
    This is our last night here
    Or so it seems
    Silence like the darkest waters in a submarine…This is our last night here
    On planet Earth
    And I don’t want my heart
    ‘Cause it always hurts
    If this is our last night here
    I won’t kick and scream
    I’ll just grab onto you
    And I dare to breathe…If it’s is our last night here for long
    I’m gonna put this record on
    I’m gonna burn this city down
    And we’ll watch the glow until it’s gone
    But before I go insane
    There’s something else to sayYou thought you were alone
    But I was with you all the way…With you all the way
    With you all the way…If this is our last night here
    On planet Earth
    Then I’ll give you my heart
    ‘Cause it hurts too much
    If this is our last night here
    I won’t change a thing
    I’ll just grab onto you
    And I feel you breathe…If this is our last night here…
    If this is our last night here…
    If this is our last night here
    I’ll grab onto you
    Just to feel you breathe…

    Breathe… [x8]

  1. (Life in the Arctic)
    Lyrics
    Your presence of mind becomes a Presence in mind and body for good,
    so you are less affected by the negative pressures and principalities.
    Don’t resent what comes to light.
    Bear the pain of failings.
    Don’t blame anyone.
    Be aware of your past.
    As it comes to light don’t force don’t dig it up.
    Be aware of your part of the past or present trouble or involvements.
    Noting the compulsiveness of your own behavior and attitudes,
    you might then have some compassion upon those who mistreated you in the past.
    Can’t help yourself, realize that you condemn ourselves.
  2. Believer
    Lyrics
    It took 8 years just to realize
    No one looks when we say goodbye
    Dying just to survive
    It feels like the first time
    All the things that you set aside
    All the friends that you leave behind
    Just so the curtain will rise and it feels like the first time
    Take this heart it’s ticking like a cheap clock
    I need you to believe in me until theres nothing left of us
    I need you to believe in me
    Oh my god
    We were under the skyline
    Through the sirens and flashing lights
    You told me “its no use to try anymore
    Does it mean that much to you”
    At that moment when time stops
    All at once, see, the pressure drops
    Way in the back of my teeth i knew
    That we all could make it
    Take this heart, it’s ticking like a time bomb
    And I’m not running any more!
    I’ll stand to face it all!
    I’ll fight for every breath until there’s nothing left of us
    I need you to believe in me
    Oh my god
    And I’m not running any more!
    I’ll stand to face it all!
    I’ll fight for every breath until theres nothing left of us!
    I need you to believe in me
    Till there’s nothing left of us
    I need you to believe!
    I need you to believe!
  3. Lips Like Morphine
    Lyrics
    I want a girl with lips like morphine
    Knock me out every time they touch me
    I wanna feel that kiss just crush me
    And break me downKnock me out!
    Knock me out!Cuz I’ve waited for all my life
    To be here with you tonightI want a girl with lips like morphine
    Blow a kiss that leaves me gasping
    I want to feel that lightning strike me
    And burn me downKnock me out!
    Knock me out!Cuz I’ve waited for all my life
    To behere with you tonight
    Just put me on my back
    Knock me out againOh, I want a girl with lips like morphine
    Knock me out everytime they touch me
    I want a girl with lips like morphine
    To knock me out

    See I’ve waited for all my life
    To be here with you tonight
    Just put me on my back
    Knock me out again.

  4. Black Poison Bloo
    Lyrics
    It looked like the perfect day
    In photos we were smiling
    But something was wrong in you
    Inside you were suffering
    Lungs were barely moving
    I wanted to comfort you
    So i said, “ahhh..
    Oh you’ll fix all my cracked broken bones
    And replace all my black poison blood”
    She murdered me with a smile
    Strangled me with her eyes
    I’m poisoned as she passes by
    The buildings around me shake
    Like cheap plastic wedding cake
    I fell to the ground with you
    Then you said, “shhh..
    Oh you’ll fix all my cracked broken bones
    And replace all my black poison blood!
    Black poison blood!”
  5. Love You to Death
    Lyrics
    Open your eyes
    We’re here. are you ok?
    I’d give all i have just to get you to stay
    For so many years in my dreams things were changing
    But always your face was the same
    Love you to death [x4]
    When you opened up what you said, it was so sad
    That no one would notice if you ran away
    Then your mascara it ran, don’t you vanish tonight
    I’m alive just to say:
    Love you to death [x4]
    And they say
    That we’re living in a movie world
    So they say, but does the hero get the girl in the end?
    Love you to death
    (does the hero get the girl) [x4]
    In..the..end
  6. The Collapse
    Lyrics
    Woke and nothing feels right
    Can’t believe i made it through the night
    The sky was cracked like porcelain
    And all the souls they rose and marched again
    It’s the same dream
    It goes on and on and on and on
    But this is where it ends
    This is the collapse
    This is the collapse
    So don’t you close your eyes
    This is the collapse
    It’s just one of those days where nothing sounds right
    It’s just one of those days where nothing looks right
    It’s just one of those days where nothing feels right
    And all these things go on and on and on and
    On and on until tonight
    This is the collapse
    This is the collapse
    So don’t close your eyes
    This is the collapse ‘
    It’s just one of those days where nothing feels right
    It’s just one of those days
    I’m never going home
    I walk among the ghosts
    Of all my former loves
    And all my future selves
    This is the final straw
    I’ll take you by the throat
    I’ll shake you like a doll
    Just feed my starving heart
  7. Statues Without Eyes
    Lyrics
    Lost and winter’s on the way
    And the air is craving in
    And the streets are crumbling
    But you are with me
    Under the downtown city lights
    We become statues without eyes
    Barely audible
    We’re froze in time
    I have you where i want you
    Oh and i need to look away
    When the jets are overhead
    And the storm is closing in
    Yeah something is happening
    Beneath the modern cold high rise
    We become statues without eyes
    Stand at attention
    They all align
    I have you where i want you
    Then it all aligns
    It all aligns
    I have you where i want you
    We are statues withouht eyes
    We were statues without eyes
    We are statues without eyes
  8. Crazy Angel
    Lyrics
    It’s serious
    I’ve got to find you when i start to feel this way
    You mesmerize me all the time
    And i’ll hold on til tonight
    But that’s too long
    Cuz you’re an angel
    You’re an angel
    My crazy angel
    My crazy angel
    So serious i’ve got to take you home again tonight
    Cuz right now you paralyze me with your smile
    As your wings discard there feathers on the ground
    I see a halo up above you
    My crazy angel
    My crazy angel
    I hold on so hard
    And pray that i won’t say something wrong
    I look at the stars
    And dream that the universe was ours
    My crazy angel
    I hold on so hard
    And pray that i won’t say something wrong
    I look at the stars
    And dream that the universe was ours
    I won’t ever stop
    My crazy angel [x5]
  9. Under the Milky Way (The Church cover)
    Lyrics
    Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty,
    Sounds of their breath fades with the light.
    I think about the loveless fascination,
    Under the milky way tonight.Lower the curtain down in Memphis,
    Lower the curtain down all right.
    I got no time for private consultation,
    Under the milky way tonight.[Chorus:]
    Wish I knew what you were looking for.
    Might have known what you would find.
    Wish I knew what you were looking for.
    Might have known what you would find.And its something quite peculiar,
    Something that’s shimmering and white.
    Leads you here despite your destination,
    Under the milky way tonight.[Chorus]Under the milky way tonight
  10. Songs That Saved My Life
    Lyrics
    Turn up the radio
    I need it now more that ever
    It’s the first snow of the year
    And something in the atmosphere is comming here
    Froze our memories again
    Soon you’ll forget but i just can’t
    I remember
    I remember everything
    All the times when no one ever came to get me
    All the nights when i was scared
    And whe it got to weird
    It was the song that saved me
    I remember, remember everything
    All the tracks that shaped and changed me
    Inside of speeding cars
    And lying on your floor
    When we were living in a broken world
    We turned it up and the we watched the city burn
    I remember, remeber everything
    All the times when no one ever came to get me
    All the nights when i was scared
    And when it got too weird
    And i can’t forget
    And i can’t forget
    And i won’t forget
    Froze in our memories again
    Soon you’ll forget but i just can’t
    I remember, remember everything
    All the times when no ever came to get me
    All the nights when i was scared
    And when it got too weird
    It was the sogns that saved my life
    It was the songs that saved me
  11. Scream
    Lyrics
    I saw the clouds forming tornadoes in the sky
    The winter winds blew on lake Michigan that night
    I carved your name into my arm
    So I would remember you
    Sometimes it hurts so bad I don’t know what to say
    Enacting Sybil vane in some tragic play
    So afraid that I can’t ever explain
    So now I
    Scream
    And hope it’s a dream
    It’s hard just to breathe
    When you say goodbye
    I wanna sleep but there are nightmares when I try
    The birds are circling
    I know the reasons why
    Maybe a sad song some time
    Will make you remember me
    Somehow I feel that it’s my destiny to fall
    Get dried and hung upon a gallery wall
    Holding on by just a thread to my heart
    So no I
    Scream
    And hope it’s a dream
    It’s hard just to breathe
    When we said goodbye
    Scream
    It’s not what it seems
    I still cant believe
    That we said goodbyeOh [x5]
    But now when I think of you I scream
  12. (Sleep Tight)
    Lyrics
    Just let go
    Run
    They’re whispering
    Never surrender
    Never give in
    In flashes of lightning
    You will shine
    Do what you want
    Do what you want
  13. Last Night Here ( online bonus track )
    Lyrics
    This is our last night here
    The air is cold as ice
    All the trees that lost their leaves
    Are reflected in our eyes
    This is our last night here
    Or so it seems
    Silence like the darkest waters in a submarine…This is our last night here
    On planet Earth
    And I don’t want my heart
    ‘Cause it always hurts
    If this is our last night here
    I won’t kick and scream
    I’ll just grab onto you
    And I dare to breathe…If it’s is our last night here for long
    I’m gonna put this record on
    I’m gonna burn this city down
    And we’ll watch the glow until it’s gone
    But before I go insane
    There’s something else to say
    You thought you were aloneBut I was with you all the way…With you all the way
    With you all the way…If this is our last night here
    On planet Earth
    Then I’ll give you my heart
    ‘Cause it hurts too much
    If this is our last night here
    I won’t change a thing
    I’ll just grab onto you
    And I feel you breathe…If this is our last night here…
    If this is our last night here…
    If this is our last night here
    I’ll grab onto you
    Just to feel you breathe…

    Breathe…[x8]

    Lyrics
    ”Drive” you said
    “Just blow me away”
    We don’t wait to be saved
    We’ll dream wide awake
    Words that you said
    Were holes through my brain
    And I’ll never be the same again…You can pray all you want
    We’re not coming back oh…
    All these thoughts, they just fade away…The chase is on
    If you run
    I will follow you…
    And I belong in your arms
    Dying next to you
    The chase is on…”Drive” you said
    With tears down your face
    I’ve got to restart
    Is that so hard?
    Secrets that day
    I’ll take to the grave
    Yeah, no one can catch us now…You can pray all you wantWe’re not coming back oh…
    We’re the feelings above the flame…The chase is on
    If you run
    I will follow you…
    And I belong in your arms
    Dying next to you
    The chase is on…

    The chase is on
    If you run
    I will follow you

    Dying next to you…
    The chase is on

  1. Hummingbirds the Size of Bullets
    Lyrics
    and my skin she said it shakes
    so hard the gears are falling off
    and the walls, they seem to jump out of place
    and fly like kites in outerspaceand we’re running out of here
    prepared to throw ourselves off somewhere
    i’m lightheaded and can’t explain
    i’m lightheaded and can’t explainand my stomach, it feels like
    hummingbirds the size of bullets are caught inside
    and the walls, they seem to burst thru the planes
    and fly like kites thru outer spaceand we’re running out of air
    prepared to thro ourselves off somewhere
    i’m lightheaded and can’t explain
    i’m lightheaded and can’t explain
    and my skin she said it shakes
    it’s hummingbirds the size of space
  2. Kill Hannah
    Lyrics
    and she made such an entrance
    yeah one blink explode the cinder blocks

    sometimes it sticks to your lips
    and sometimes i see battleshipsstop everything, kill hannah
    ’cause she knows it’s just a game
    stop the world, kill hannah
    cause in her plastic flower garden
    there’s no room for more plastic flowersand time goes by
    and history’s dead
    and all the magic show
    is all inside her head.
    oh maybe im too much in love
    yea maybe im too much in love
    but maybe im too much insanestop everything, kill hannah
    ’cause she knows it’s just a game
    and there must be a hole in my head
    stop the world, kill hannah
    cause in her plastic flower garden
    there’s no room for more plastic flowers

    we are science fiction wimps
    thinking that we’re real stunt pilots
    that let go of controlswe all want to be safe
    in magnetic fields
    slowly floting still

  1. They Can’t Save Us Now
    Lyrics
    so this is how it feels to be alone
    your heart beats like it’s cracked and made of stoned
    but whenever someone asks just say there’s nothing wrongchorus:
    they can’t save us now
    cause we’re far away from home
    and there’s nowhere else to go
    they can’t save us now
    cause we’re lost and won’t be found
    we can scream so loud but they can’t save us nowso this is how it feels to be insane
    the world looks like a movie always playing
    but how can hearts so young feel so much pain?
    will they ever understand we don’t want to be like them?
  2. Kennedy
    Lyrics

    “cos you broke it all apart
    put back together again”strange holiday maniquins still move as though someone was watching besides me
    their joints are rusty
    they chirp like inside there’s something alive
    oh no, somehow it strikes me
    i need a new heart for xmascos you broke it all apart
    put it back together again
    you hit me oh so hard
    put me back together again

  10. Is Anyone Here Alive
    Lyrics
    sunrise always burns my eyes,
    and outside, there maybe zombies too.

    are blind to what makes this thing beautiful.chorus:
    is anyone here alive?(x3)
    lift up the lids of your eyes!sunrise always burns my eyes, but i’m not tired

  11. No One Dreams Anyways
    Lyrics
    You can’t feed him steel
    and no one likes his ideas
    and they all look fucked
    well those eyelids helpwhat’s there to wake up to? (what’s there to wake up to?)
    what’s there to wake up to
    when no one dreams anyway?no one thinks anyway
    and they live
    and they die in bed
    no one thinks
    and they drive buses
    no one dreams
    and they die in in in in in bed

  1. Beauty in Sinking Ships
    Lyrics
    sometimes army planes go thru the sky
    and it’s all in the past
    so don’t you forget about the fact
    that you have to keep breathing
    when your logic fails and you find it cold
    sometimes you want to sink inside
    and you face the machine
    thousands of flowers all around the machinery
    and there’s too many and you can’t see straightwe all move so slow, always to the noisei wanna try, i wanna try to stay alive
    and they toss in waves in a sinking ship
    still remember the beauty in the tragedy
    and the wind just dies and sun is hot
    my arms around my fear and i won’t try to stay
    your eyes are machineswe all move so slow, hear my voice trail off
  2. Lightbulbs
    Lyrics
    oh my love this time, this time
    we’ve talked and i’ve told them
    that they’ve no spines
    so no more like this time again
    because we float out of light
    i’m out of itall the lightbulbs glow
    all the lightbulbs glow
    we don’t plan on burning out
    we don’t plan on burning out
    we don’t plan on burning outif they’re spinning around
    they’ll get all tangled in
    what we go thru
    so they’re spinning around
    well at least you’re not standing stillall the lightbulbs glow
    all the lightbulbs glow
    maybe if you color yourselves in fire
    maybe if you color yourselves in fire

  3. Whirlwind
    Lyrics
    yeah it’s time to go and fade
    oh some may say
    you’re just kissing your life away
    we can’t see, we’ve shut our eyelids tight
    and we can’t stop this tidal wave at allit’s like a whirlwind
    coming to take us away
    it’s like a whirlwind
    and we musn’t be afraidit’s so hard to heard your sound
    she said my head spins light
    when you are helping try to hold the ceilings down
    /–missing lyric–/
    and shut our eyelids tightit’s like a whirlwind
    coming to take us away

    it’s like a whirlwind
    it’s a whirlwindtake us away
    take us away
    it’s gonna take us

  4. Lightning Causes Madness
    Lyrics
    they’ve let us sleep for so long
    in their beds made of words
    and even their pillows appear
    a contradiction
    and who cares when this lighting starts
    stand outsidewe look to the sound
    and we’ve gone down
    becasue i’ve never heard it before
    and the crash of your bombs
    and leave the blank logic behind
    the smile that makes me shake
    makes me shake, makes me shake
    i know it’s not for real
    the lightning starts
    i stand outsidestand outside
    spare my lifeit makes me shake
    i know it’s not for real
    the lightning starts
    i stand outside
  5. Glacier
    Lyrics
    you’re on your head
    and you’ve been there all the wile
    and if you’d stand up now
    you’d find yourself all upside down
    and you fade away
    for the first time
    now you’re slipping through the floor
    you insist on going back for more
    put all your dreams away
    fading out like yesterdayit’s over now
    you can’t chip away the ice
    it’s here it’s underneath
    you find it smiling at you
    it’s … for the day
    there’s always been
    ice on my faceso put all your dreams away
    it’s time you fade away
    it’s not a glacier
    it’s far away from staying
    it’s light years awayit’s always been ice
    it’s always been ice
    it’s always been ice
    on my face
    oh oh oh
    it’s been ice
    oh oh oh
    it’s always ice
    oh oh oh
    it’s always been
    oh oh oh
    it’s always ice
    oh oh oh
    on my face
  6. Surreal
    Lyrics
    if you dream like i dream right now
    don’t wake up, no don’t wake up again
    it gets more surreal
    so if you seem to be dreaming now
    don’t wake up, no don’t wake up
    it gets more surreal that this
    because you tend to dissapear when you die
    there’s nothing but air in your skyi want you to stop and start starting like me
    it’s just your always dancing
    to see, to say, before you sleep againit’s just air in your sky
    i said it’s nothing but air in your sky
    so if your angels believe in this
    you didn’t die, did you quit?
    ’cause when you die you just dissapear
    there’s no heaven hereand you don’t wake up
    don’t wake up
    don’t wake upand you don’t wake up
    don’t wake up
    don’t wake up
    just disappear
  7. Don’t Breakthe My Air

    one flower’s broke
    but i know that god is gone
    i’ve taken his jobyou find us we’re growing old

  8. Kill Hannah ( Bedroom Demo )
    Lyrics

    but maybe im too much insanestop everything, kill hannah
    ’cause she knows it’s just a game
    and there’ll be a hole in my head
    stop the world, kill hannah
    cause in her plastic flower garden
    there’s no room for more plastic flowers
  9. Nothing is Mysterious
    Lyrics
    behing the trees on a second new highway
    i watched her leave, i watched my strength go
    but this is my own fault, i should have close the vault
    to my own mind, i should have stayed in line
    cause nothing’s a mystery when nothing is mysterious
    and nothing could ever leave me now
    cause is my own stepping stone, and i won’t slip off the edge
    cause nothing could ever change me nowup on the hill, behind the mall
    up on the hill, this is my final call
    i want to hear the noise, but only with the right ears
    i want to be complete, but only with the right puzzle piecenothing’s a mystery when nothing is mysterious
    and nothing could ever leave me now
    cause is my own stepping stone, i won’t slip off the edge
    and nothing could ever change me nowno one’s a mystery when nothing is mysterious
    and nothing could ever leave me now
    cause is my own stepping stone, i won’t slip off the edge
    and nothing could ever change me now

  11. Hit the Planes Down
    Lyrics
    on that cowboy in the sky
    with all the freedom of a madman
    was that shining carnivore
    camera said it took me under
    in one fell blowhit the planes down
    tear the sky out
    hit the planes down
    in one fell blow/–someone needs to figure out this line—/
    attached by hinges to the ceiling
    where the cheek bone shadows fall
    upon a face it took me under
    my fears box glowhit the planes down
    tear the sky out
    hit the planes down
    in one fell blow
  12. Kill Hannah
    Lyrics
    and she made such an entrance
    yeah one blink explode the cinder blocks
    what a smart bomb, she sighed and said,
    “i hope i’m not forgettable”
    and when you kiss ice
    sometimes it sticks to your lips
    and sometimes i see battleshipsstop everything, kill hannah
    ’cause she knows it’s just a game
    stop the world, kill hannah
    cause in her plastic flower garden
    there’s no room for more plastic flowersand time goes by
    and history’s dead
    and all the magic show
    is all inside her head.
    oh maybe im too much in love
    yea maybe im too much in love
    but maybe im too much insanestop everything, kill hannah
    ’cause she knows it’s just a game
    and there must be a hole in my head
    stop the world, kill hannah
    cause in her plastic flower garden
    there’s no room for more plastic flowers

  1. This is Our December (listen on Amazon)-
    Lyrics
    Waves of ice attack the shoreGun barrel grey forever moreYou hold us like we’re in a globeTurn it upside down to make it snowWe got candy canes for bones

    In a tribe of eskimos

    Underneath the polar moon

    Frozen like a photograph here I’ll wait for you

    I hear your voice ringing through

    Just like the bells of cathedrals

    Let is snow forever

    This is our December

    Say you’ll always remember

    This is our December

    This is our December

    This is our December

    This is our December

    Let it snow forever

    This is our December

    Say you’ll always remember

    This is our December

    This is our December

    This is our December

    This is our December
