Ancient MarsI want to believe in time travel
That one day I’ll come back for you.
Find you in the campus library aisles and I’d say
Oh my ancient Mars.
When the rusty rocks were covered in groves
And the pyramids foretold acidic snows
All was still breathing like my hands on your toes and I said
cold moonThe paint is dry, we’ve closed the vein
to rinse the brush and go again
but still I know I’ve got the stain
and maybe you do too.
I found the stomach to deny
the urge to look you up online
don’t want to creep on your profile
Energy CzarHow'd we get so far?
We've been floating through this life
A bee that bumbled on to a transatlantic flight
Say just what you want
We'll overnight it
Say just what you need
It's more messed up
Human hearts
Escape ArtistMy alter-ego. hes an escape artist
Hes only truly happy when hes under arrest.
Oh how he handsome scheduled to hang to death
Hes only truly happy at the precipice.
Hes like a mirror. he sticks into our ears
A stethoscope to the chest of the vacant years.
I cant escape the chair im etherized with fear
I Feel the TransitionOoh
Ooh, ah
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ah
You're a rainbow's arc
You're an oligarch
Island LifeIn paradise, tropical greys
I missed the wave again today
Island life
Is a moth in the night
All this time
We look out for a light
Knot in my heartMy friends are wilding
how winter loves wear thin
they’re cut to kindling
when summer hits our skin.
We’re like a seedling.
suck tears out of a vase
a forest fire knows
Let It Scare YouI lost my mind today
Staring into the white of the page
White flag, my current mood
I tear it out and I wave it at you
My heart, when you're on your floor
I will guide you outdoors
I am mine and I'm yours
male gazeeverything is okay
woman in the window
i play her body like a feminine nintendo
gotta make that ratio
of prince and asshole
but again the princesses are in another castle
c'mon girl we can freak out a bit
MarionettesSometimes an empire doesn't fall
As masked invaders climb the walls
Or spreading fires or rising floods
Sometimes it dies within
The king and queen, they go to bed
On years of quiet neglect
To find the coffers bare but with
The musk of arrogance
No TalkingSo tell me, Mama, 'cause you know it's true
Weren't you talking about a revolution?
Just postponed by the phone and forgot about it
And tell me, Dad, do you remember this pearl?
"This generation's gonna change the world"
Took a doze, I suppose, and forgot about it
Time is not on our side so
ObservatoryWe broke in where
we’re not allowed
and found a station
from a dead undergound.
And there you kissed me
as if goodbye
on the dusty platform
like my train had arrived
SwoonerMiss mythical
She's like the way they were
I pass, pass her notes
And she goes, "Oh honey, it's alright"
When the arrows volley down, will you stay with me?
Build a fire out of pages of magazines
Someone like you don't come around every dynasty
The Great CollapseI dreamt about you the other night
We were there when people started to die.
The seas rose to a terrible height
But we survived, yeah we survived
(I don't know why).
We watched the grass pry open the cracks.
The birds returned, the nights went black.
Yeah, we were lovers in the great collapse.
These DaysIt started with a sandcastle
Today washed up my tomorrow
But one night the mark was made
Seared in your flesh with canola oil
These days are piling up
Piling up like bricks
Walls blocking off the sun
UltramarineI'm going over and out
It's like the last cigarette in your mouth
And if you wanna get clean
Gotta smash every screen
And show they shoulda known better to doubt
My only vice is
My own devices
You're Too CoolLove don't live at home, oh no, it slithers in the wild
I met her at the Biltmore, she was cold and over-styled
Took all my money and took all my pride
She may not be a pharaoh, but she guzzled down the Nile.
I can tell we'll never be safe
'Til the walls fall down.
Every morning chipping away
