Goner 03:59
lyrics

I am an island I am alone That’s how I like it I know it shows Armor of silver Unholy ghosts These midnight shivers Under the volcano Little umbrellas and some bitters in my glass Some easy conversation, file away the past And if I’m ever over making myself mad We’ll cut the ribbon Gone but not missing Wading through silence Cuffed by the bone Sure and defiant But never both I know you’ll welcome me but that’s just too close to home I’ll be worse off than before Little umbrellas and some bitters in my glass Some easy conversation, file away the past And if I’m ever over making myself mad We’ll cut the ribbon Gone but not missing Bring me flowers I’m a goner

Deja Vu 04:13
lyrics

Always felt blue when you wore red I always lied when I confessed You buried me under your breath Remind me that I may forget I never loved until we met You buried me under your breath Deja Vu I swear, I know you Somehow Somewhere Some lifetime ago Deja Vu And you must know me Somehow Somewhere Someone you let go I was deaf each time you said “Your love is nothing but a threat, But you can keep my silhouette Yes, you can keep my silhouette” Deja Vu I swear, I know you Somehow Somewhere Some lifetime ago Deja Vu Aand you must know me Somehow Somewhere Someone you let go Deja vu

Only You 03:24
lyrics

When I close my eyes When I breathe in life When I’m lost in dreams I know you know what it means You Only you Sacred as a vow It’s broken anyhow You love broken things You can rest assured This shattered figure Won’t last, incomplete You Only You You Only You

Audrey 03:31
lyrics

I crossed my heart I tied my tie You’re too good to look me in the eye You built your look around Godard It’s cute when you take things too far Let’s play pretend and be exactly what we’re not My greatest mystery Is how I found you It’s not lost on me The way I lost you You don’t know, Audrey, what they’ll do to you You don’t know, Audrey what they’ll do to you When we look back On our sins Hell, I was such a stupid kid Let’s reconvene Or stay apart So long as we take things too far Well, I swear that you can’t trust me Or don’t you want to know? Your friends can’t see what you’re becoming You bleed for the nouveau Well, I swear that you can’t trust me Or don’t you want to know? Your friends can’t see what you’re becoming My greatest mystery Is how I found you It’s not lost on me The way I lost you You don’t know, Audrey, what they’ll do to you You don’t know, Audrey what they’ll do to you

Machismo 02:58
lyrics
buy track
First day of defeat I’m already scarred Take it to the bank Put it on the card To the nines in feathers But forgot the tar I’m seeing stars, I’m seeing stars Hopeless and helpless The engine is shot I’d find my way if I wasn’t lost A tired man An amateur man Out of the way, but the front of my mind Hungry sharks Strike the match Dust to dust Ash to ash Picking bones from your war-path At last, at last

Sacrament 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Pleasure and pain Or medicate We rushed to the end Gave up the chase A treasure if it leaves a stain A sorrow if it leaves you chained Heartbreak is the name of the game So I run through the fires of every sacrament And I lost myself in futures that you dreamt I’ll spend an eternity in this moment So I run through the fires of every sacrament A treasure if it leaves a stain A sorrow if it leaves you chained Heartbreak is the name of the game So I run through the fires of every sacrament And I lost myself in futures that you dreamt I’ll spend an eternity in this moment So I run through the fires of every sacrament

Just Like Vanilla 03:41
lyrics
buy track
I’m flying low But I don’t know how to land More and more I’m losing what I am I want to be Where nobody knows me I want to live In a world of make believe Where happiness is candy Where whiskey never hurts me And temptations that consume me No longer weigh so heavy Where hearts are never breaking And my loved ones are all healthy Where I’m an X-ray screen A time machine Amphetamines And it’s just like vanilla Just like vanilla Just like vanilla

Knuckles 03:40
lyrics
buy track
You were waiting for me To make a mess of things I’m happy to say that That part was easy for me The trouble is I’m always feeling troubled I’ll pass the time counting The wrinkles on your knuckles I’m not man enough To pretend I never knew you Sometimes giving up Is all there’s left to do You never meant to be gone Longer than a day I never meant to be Anything but far away Don’t say you don’t love me anymore Don’t say you don’t need me anymore If I had a choice I’d never let you down You can keep the kingdom You can keep the crown You’re growing pedals while I’m tangled in the vines You’re navigating stars, I’m lost among another starless/empty sky Don’t say you don’t love me Don’t say you don’t need me Don’t say you don’t love me anymore Don’t say you don’t need me anymore Don’t say you don’t want me anymore Don’t say you don’t see me anymore

Heaven Ain't There 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Better let this dream go Go with the morning light, leave with the dawn Better give up control The truth is nothing is better than being gone Cause Heaven ain't there For people like me I’d give you my faith it you give me something to believe Heaven ain't there I was awake when I first felt the sting It’s never a lesson but something you know by heart Meaning was always make believe Arriving only to be sure we depart Cause Heaven ain't there For people like me I’d give you my faith if you give me something to believe Cause heaven ain't there For people like me But maybe I’d stay if it weren't so easy to leave Heaven ain't there
