I was shot off from the mainland love of my life remember me And I lopped off my right hand so that my left could better see Over Under Undercover Broken ship Crack of thunder Over Under Undercover Of the wreck of the World Discover Heart Heart watch me beat tender fingers hands and feet that I can't live without And I have trouble breathing Cause my right hand is bleeding out all these troubles survived Over Under Undercover Broken ship Crack of thunder Over Under Undercover Of the wreck of the World Discover Love me leave me break my wings Cause I can't sleep these days without you Bruise me Beat me I still carry you with me But now I think that I should let you go And I have trouble sleeping Cause the white noise is drowning out All these innocent lives And I have trouble breathing Cause my right hand is bleeding out All these troubles survived And I have trouble sleeping Cause the white noise is drowning out All these innocent lives And I have trouble breathing Cause my right hand is bleeding out All these troubles survived

Ganymede 03:46
At a 45 degree angle I hold my head And at a 55 degree angle I lose it again Cause you Do a 180 and walk away You said you'd follow me Into the flames I breathe fire onto the candle It was an accident Cause I grew too hot to handle So I turned my back against the wall Became one with the water, water, water My feelings washed away My head grew hotter Every single hair caught flame Daisy, Daisy, you drive me crazy I can't hold it any longer Daisy, Daisy, you drive me crazy I'm lying on the floor I'm knocking at your door You're running out of time Don't tell me that you're mine A thousand years later You push me all the way You're not an agitator But you'd start those fires anyway Daisy, Daisy, you drive me crazy

Daydream 03:39
Daydreams matter so much to me Light beams penetrate the holes and the seams Sunday and every other sunday between I build I make a world around me And a drum beats in my heart and on my sleeve A classical piece of my forgotten family tree I love you I love you But I can't stop looking away I miss you I miss you But I'm dreaming during the day In the kitchen I'm not allowed to touch the knives On the classroom I'm not allowed into their lives On the playground the bugs in the dirt frighten me In the foreground my vision of light is tightening Friends and enemies Learning birds and bees Tell me thanks and please And leave me behind in the dark I love you I love you But I can't stop looking away I miss you I miss you But I'm dreaming during the day And a drum beats in my heart and on my sleeve A classical piece of my forgotten family tree

We believe in angels cause they look like you In one year forgive me for being good to you I will always be there, I'll always tell the truth I saw a feather spinning round the room And it took me by surprise, and it took me a while And I laughed and I cried from the shape of your smile We believe in angels cause they look like you

I creak and shatter beneath me On pins and needles believe me Beasts and shadows beneath me Shrink and shudder believe me I can't see with my eyes shut In the basement I wish for something to blind me To ask or maybe remind me Well it speaks to my brain that we're all just the same And it wants to get out but I can't let it out I can't see with my eyes shut In the basement I bring a garden to life And tend unto it strife Well I scream and I shout and I flail all about But I'll never get out no I'll never get out I can't see with my eyes shut In the basement I can't see with my eyes open wide

(Again) In the laguna in the heat of the summer we were together We slept through the morning the morning is boring Under this canopy of shade we got away Only for a day we got away We got away only for a day I wanna be together Be together Together Together We'll be together Be together Together Again The bedsheets are sweaty your breaths getting heavy I don't think you're ready Your hands on my body My hands on your body There's nothing you can do to get away They're being loud in the room right above But we can be louder when we're making love I wanna be together Be together Together Together We'll be together Be together Together Again I made a list of movies for Alice I wanna be together Be together Together Together We'll be together Be together Together Again Again

(1, 2, 3, 4) I sent you letters in English and Latin Wrote with a feather I found in the garden I Wrote with a feather I found in the garden Red flowers I put in a basket Blue flowers I threw in your casket White paper to write how I'm feeling White pillows to dream while I'm dreaming Divide my heart in pieces I want to see my weakness I want to show you how I'm falling in love, falling in love Green grasses that grow in the garden Mad masses discarding their pardon Love letter that burn in the fire Love letters written by your admirer Blank faces obscuring my vision Equations subtraction division This problem regarding your numerals Blue flowers I picked for your funeral Divide my heart in pieces I want to see my weakness I want to show you how I'm falling in love, falling in love With you With you

Sleepy eyes why cant you stay wide I captured a million frames per second in the blink of an eye Take your drink and your candies too Take all the things that are made just for you Pouring paint down a wishing well And I'm making a list of movies for Alice I need you close to keep you warm My body is made of miniature fires that I keep in my home Take your drink and your candies too Take all the things that are made just for you Pouring paint down a wishing well And I'm making a list of movies for Alice Movies for Alice Movies for Alice Making a list of movies for Alice

You can hear my laugh from across the water, You can hear my laugh from across the lake. And I never thought that it would matter, Does it mind what sound my heartbeat makes. There's a storm I see clouds on the far horizon. There's a wind, blows hard from the eastern coast. But I found I could never keep my eyes up, Or my mind, on that which I love the most.
