PICKPOCKETS 02:22
lyrics
why go and lock the door while the key's under your welcome mat why shine a light on the keep out sign when your so tired of being alone when your alone when your alone when your alone staircase to nowhere scratch the surface see what you are made of shedding tears with nothing invested writing words untrue cant see us, but we see you we will never have this chance again we will never start where we began we will never follow you hand in hand just like we planned we will never have this chance again confidence in man to man don't trust a man with half a hand tip of the cap to a foreign map my boyish charm and 4 alarm fire we will never have this chance again we will never start where we began we will never follow you hand in hand just like we planned we will never have this chance again

SWAMP 02:39
lyrics
the battles caught up with us scars on our weakened arms scales on our crooked backs we set our offspring free, free to swim in the summer to earn a badge on their coldblooded bellies just bury them in the sand with our see through hands just bury them in the sand with our see through hands we patrol the banks keep a close eye on temptation those props look delicious and deadly we set our offspring free, free to swim in the summer to earn a badge on their coldblooded bellies just bury them in the sand with our see through hands just bury them in the sand with our see through hands bury them in the sand with our see through hands just bury them in the sand with our see through hands your paralyzed by the sound paralyzed by the sound paralyzed by the sound paralyzed by the sound

HEADLINES 02:26
lyrics
hide and go seek with a virgin and a leach and a big spender just out of reach test my faith with their twisted voice's and two doors very different choices they spy through their webbed fingers from a hole in the wall be aware not afraid a final nail in your coffin test my faith with your headlines be aware not afraid let it breath a little bit need some room to grow let it need a little bit when did it become so old be aware not afraid a final nail in your coffin be aware not afraid test my faith with your headlines

SEVEN SONS 02:32
lyrics
your point of view has lost its edge so sharpen it up before you speak again they don't make things like this anymore it smells of the dark without a single light on sound of broken sticks starting a deadly fire seven sons hung out to dry skip to the end broken skin on the mend id rather be me than you or you or not you id rather be clean or clean or clean or not clean sound of broken sticks starting deadly fire stop fornicating with the help it don't look good on your resume you could really use a drink of water you've been putting in your time no light has shone brighter on this machine rinse your mouth with bleach make it scream man your on top of the world could you please sell me some how can i get these stains off my sweater sound of broken sticks starting deadly fire they melt in the choir starting deadly fire

PAINT YOUR EYES 03:39
lyrics
Same day keep your cool Play alive on April fools Playing dead the ship of fools Till we meet again unknown friend Come undone heavenly son Break apart into your forest Paint your eyes paint them red Chew on your every word the sound of your footsteps Paint your eyes paint them red Chew on your every word the sound of your footsteps You always tell the best stories A run on sentence with lasting impressions Opposites attract fend off your demons Slip under the covers to skin a lion Come undone heavenly son Break apart into your forest Paint your eyes paint them red Chew on your every word the sound of your footsteps Paint your eyes paint them red Chew on your every word the sound of your footsteps Come undone heavenly son Break apart into your forest Paint your eyes paint them red Chew on your every word the sound of your footsteps Paint your eyes paint them red Chew on your every word the sound of your footsteps

BARRIERS 04:05
lyrics
watch the faces in the trees smile at me expressions in the leaves bring me to my knees watch the faces in the leaves show signs of relief suttle movement embark but keep it brief handshakes and a wink of extended eye black fancy dress alone sprouted cold mile after mile cut in the fold tough pill to swallow, this empty mold stories told, landscape sold, bold movements all implode calmness brings me to my knees count down by threes calmness brings me to my knees count down by threes rolling hills barriers contain the kill search aimlessly to replace your thrill mile after mile cut in the fold tough pill to swallow, this empty mold stories told, landscape sold, bold movements all implode calmness brings me to my knees count down by threes calmness brings me to my knees count down by threes can this calmness set you at ease cause for alarm eliminate the things to can't see can this calmness set you at ease cause for alarm while you counts down by threes calmness brings me to my knees count down by threes calmness brings me to my knees count down by threes

SORRY 02:52
lyrics
coffee table stories always stained with red wine rings of repetitions up and down with the makings of a new sound harmony is gnawing at the bit bite off more than we can chew burning feet dance on the sun come undone walk on the moon but I'll talk to you a little later when we can both clear our heads you trade your Sunday dress in pursuit of happiness call out another name missing pieces who's to blame missing structure to our shame blinded eye's as soon as they came oh what a tangled web we've weaved and the patches on your sleeves don't fool anyone they don't fool anyone they don't fool anyone they don't fool anyone, anyone, anymore the word sorry's just a joke, hope you choke on it pull your strings make you dance again crawling down with your tail between your legs glad to see your back again but I'll talk to you a little later when we can both clear our heads but i know we can both clear our heads in pursuit of happiness and I'll come undone its nice to know you

CATS GAME 03:55
lyrics
Line up from left to right stand up straight and look this way afraid of heights I'm on the ledge afraid of fights afraid of fighting sit at the table mechanic and a ghost which one will flex its deflated muscles looking for someone to sooth my wounds close your eyes and close the door the film reel keeps on slipping slip into a coma slip into a coma slip into a coma sit at the table with a mechanic and a ghost which one will flex its deflated muscles been leaking out of my god damn head sirens in the distance cars are moving faster, cars are moving faster , cars are moving faster all the beautiful people, beautiful people, beautiful people, beautiful people oh look at them staring , look at them staring, look at them staring, look at them staring beautiful people, beautiful people, the beautiful people, all the beautiful people oh look at them staring, look at them staring , look at them staring , all of them staring the beautiful people, beautiful people, the beautiful people , the beautiful people oh look at them staring, look at them staring , look at them staring , look at them staring sit at the table mechanic and a ghost which one will flex its deflated muscles looking for someone to sooth my wounds

WATER / WINE 03:27
lyrics
follow the leader give me water give me wine abolished teacher give me water give me wine i quench my thirst a thousand times fulfill my need for greed the vapor of the mixture grabs a hold so raise your hands in victory victory a matador with a aching head a velvet vest is filled with lead upside down with an aching head pose for pictures in your neighbors bed gluing shards of broken glass doesn't make it whole again tame the beast, and parade the town follow the leader give me water give me wine abolished teacher give me water give me wine

STONE THROW(N)? 03:01
lyrics
i set a fire without knowing if anyone's inside a stone throw distance what a cowards place to hide you fight because you're brave wear your heart on your sleeve but you're so nieve to believe that your cuts won't bleed sweat and tears will drown your fears sweat and tears will drown your fears you think of what he's done you stoned him, you condemned him but now he basks in the burning sun think that you have fixed him sweat and tears drown your fears the sweat and tears drown your fears

BUILT TO PLEASE 04:38
lyrics
watch, oh watch outside my window watch the creeps take over the streets watch, oh watch outside my window watch the freaks perform a daring feat there's no release your set at ease there's no release to keep the peace your built to please watch, oh watch outside my window talk to the strangers who don't exist watch, oh watch outside my window peel the curtains back, sneak attack there's no release to keep the peace your set at ease there's no relief your built to please i distance myself i dance with myself tell me what i need to hear i distance myself i dance with myself tell me what i need to hear there's no release to keep the peace your set at ease there's no relief your built to please
