Shadows In The Pines

Too much to take
You freeze my heart each time
You come into my life
And occupy my mind
Pull the lever
Flip the switch
Push the button
And we won't exist
First time I saw you
It took me by surprise
Those shadows in the pines
Those daggers in your eyes
Pull the lever
Flip the switch
Push the button
And we won't exist
Those shadows in the pines
Those daggers in your eyes
Those shadows in the pines
Those daggers in your eyes

Crumble & Crack
04:57
|

|
You say you don't
Know just what brought us here
We tried to fly
We're just hanging in the air
Our world is small far away
'Neath our feet
Our hands are cold
And our hearts are feeling weak
Climbing through the air
Climbing up a stair
That always winds
Losing our control
I feel like you might go
For good this time
If I fall down turn your head
Don't look back
Pillars of salt wear away
Crumble and crack
Climbing through the air
Climbing up a stair
That always winds
Losing our control
I feel like you might go
And oh my mind
Crumbles and cracks

Breathe In Breathe Out
04:21
|

|
When you pull the trigger
Be sure you hit the mark
Let me feel no pain
No need to make it hurt
Breathe in
And breathe out
Sometimes I want to live
Sometimes I want to die
You're taking too much time
You've got me in sight
You've got me in line
You've got me in sight
You've got me in line
I can feel you in the trees
Hidden in the leaves
I can feel you in my heart
Hidden in the dark
You're taking too much time
you got me in sight
you got me in line
you got me in sight
you got me in line
Don't breathe in
Don't breathe out

Out From Under
05:01
|
|||
|
Under the glass under the concrete
Under the gears of the machine
I feel the weight press down upon me
Until there's nothing left to bleed
Get me out of here!
I see a light I see a highway
I see a path into the trees
Until this town no longer chains me
I will be searching for the keys
Get me out of here!
I can hear the voices calling me
From the stars the hills and the sea
Trailing through the trees I'll follow
With nothing left but the hope
That I will find my home
And free my soul

Just Like A Stray
05:14
|
|||
|
there's no stars in the sky
to show me the way
no stairway to heaven
no place to stay
I fell through the night
and every day
until I saw you
lead me to the forest and through the trees
take me to your river and I'll drink
lead me to the forest and through the trees
take me to your river and I'll drink
until the moon is high
If you turn my way
I won't run
If you call my name
you know I'll come
just like a stray
looking for a crumb
I can't help it I need it
lead me to the forest and through the trees
take me to your river and I'll drink
lead me to the forest and through the trees
take me to your river and I'll drink
until it runs dry

The Stranger
04:54
|
|||
|
you went back to the place you were born
to come in from the storm
but you came back to find
there's still nothing there
still no one who can hold you
you gave it all you got
you put it all in the pot
you aimed the gun and you shot
now there's nothing left to save you
you fell down to your knees
found peace in the space and the trees
you looked up to see the sky open
but there's nothing there to take you
your path has been destroyed
you gaze into the void
don't look behind you
there's no design there's nothing there to see
your eyes open wide
and you feel like you died
and there's nothing nothing nothing
nothing nothing nothing nothing
you were blind now you can see
to find your way through the streets
you lived your life like there was something
now there's nothing and you're free

The Stop
05:21
|
|||
|
I have got to find a place
where I can stand the human race
but I want to run and to erase
until there's nothing left no fucking trace
but the rats behind me won't stop the chase
and I don't think that I can keep this pace
there's no cure
for what ails you
it's not the drop
it's the stop
that kills you
I have got to flip that switch
and play that card and scratch that itch
get myself off this sinking ship
but no matter how you crack that whip
my tongue gets tied and my hands twitch
and when I try to run my feet slip
there's no cure
for what ails you
it's not the drop
it's the stop
that kills you
oh I know you criticize me
you want to take all the control
but you don't fucking know
how to worm your way inside me
you'll never take all of my soul
so leave me in my hole

Doldrums/Wave Of Sound
08:31
|
|||
|
It feels like an age
Since I've turned a page
Or felt something new
Or knew what to do
I haven’t a clue
Like an unbroken line
There's nothing but time
Left to spend
I still feel this weight
I still need a friend
But nothing begins
If nothing will end
if I tear out this page
I'll just start again
Oh here comes a wave
you know I will find you
and heal you and kiss you and see you
and take you away love
you know that I've got you
this time we spend waiting
and riding a wave of sound
and all those who bind you
and hate you and kill you and steal you
and tell you you have to
and take you away from
those who could love you
they'll drown in a wave of sound

Your Love
07:12

Your love,
I don't know why I need it
I know if I use it
One day I'll just lose it
Your love,
I don't know why I crave it
I know if I take it
One day I'll just ache for it
Your love,
I don't know why I hate it
I know if I taste it
One day I'll just waste it
Your love,
I don't know why I fight it
I know if I tried it
One day I would die for it

The Pink Mist
05:58
|
|||
|
When I saw you so long ago that summer
I loved you like there could be no other
Your black hair your long thin hands
Your endless eyes your silver bands
You cut a line right through the sky
You cut me dead you took my life
Oh the pink mist, oh the pink mist
When I kissed you it almost drove me to madness
I was young I was dumb and jealous
Soon I lost you to a world that is heartless
I saw you fade into the darkness
If I could find you just one more time
You would see it behind my open eyes
Oh the pink mist, oh the pink mist
|

Oh my love my darling
I've waited so long for your love
And when my gaze falls upon you
I know you cannot be stopped
'Cause you are a force of nature
And I am just dust in the wind
'Cause you are a force of nature
And neither good or evil can win

Submarine
04:18
|
|||
|
My heart is like the ocean
Full of the world’s debris
Only you have seen its depths
And sailed its filthy seas
Oh Submarine
Keep on diving
You spoke a language like water
We whispered like trees
I carved our names into the wood
You wrote poems on the leaves
Oh Whispering Wind
Keep on blowing
Now I believe in love
But I don’t believe in fate
You lit the fire inside me
You left cinders in your wake
Those places you've been
Keep on burning
If those places you've been
Keep on burning
I won’t drown
You’re my Submarine

Those I Knew Before
03:46
|
|||
|
'Til you came crashing through
All my days were soft and boring
And, oh, the plans I drew
In the parks and in the gloaming
What happened to
The girl I knew before
My love was true
But time has closed that door
As I was stumbling through
The streets the day was dawning
My heart was black and blue
In the trees the wind was blowing
What happened to
The boy I knew before
We all fall through
And time will close the door

Burn & Fade
08:38
|
|||
|
I had the strangest feeling
I was sinking slowly into the floor
I had the strangest feeling
that there's nothing left to feel anymore
we burn and fade
we burn and fade
I crawled across the room
I tried to make it through to the door
I crawled across the room
until I didn't know what i was crawling for
we burn and fade
we burn and fade
I fell from the sky
but no one saw me or my trail of gold
I burned through the atmosphere
until my heart was frozen from the cold
Oh when you find love
It breaks your heart
I know that it's true
Oh my heart is broken

Buttercup
05:15
|
|||
|
the sun would kill me
and the world is cruel
the sun would kill me
and the world is cruel
and the moon she treats me
just like a fool
When I'm flying
I don't leave the ground
When I'm flying
I don't leave the ground
Cause when the grass goes up
The sky comes down
Oh the hour is late
and the forest deep
the hour is late
and the forest deep
there's miles to go
before I sleep
If I'm going down
I don't want to get up
If I'm going down
I don't want to get up
I'll wanna roll around
In the buttercups
hey buttercup
you got me where you want me
so come on let's have some fun
I've been around the world
and I've seen a million faces
and I know you're the one
oh buttercup

Letter To Myself
04:35

If I could write a letter to myself
when I was twelve
If I could write a letter to myself
when I was twelve
I'd say take good care of your dreams
keep your heart dark and your soul clean
life is short but sometimes it gleams
keep on dreaming or they'll get their hands round your heart
If I could write a letter to myself
when I was twelve
If I could write a letter to myself
when I was twelve
I'd say pull aside all the screens
keep your love close and your mind free
take life apart by the seams
keep on searching or they'll get their hands round your heart
