i'll see you in the morning it's been a week or so since the last i'll see you in the morning go to sleep to make it come fast wipe sleep from your eyes i'm finally here it feels like i haven't seen you for a year your speaking is slurred and your eyes are all red who have you been out all night with? please don't try when i've given it up your eyes won't meet mine have i figured it out you didn't have to speak you didn't have to say this cold winter morning is giving you away i'm back by 10:30 wet to the bone it rained all the way all the way home i peeled off my clothes and climbed into bed it's been a week and i haven't left it yet

love bites 03:35
you’ve never been good at saying what you’re thinking i think i’ve only seen you say it when you’re drinking it’s getting harder to talk to you it’s a folie a deux a madness shared by two i'm biting my lip and the blood’s showing through it feels like your teeth are biting me too and even when you’re drinking you speak true lies lies that aren’t true but are true in your absent mind and i beg and i plead and i fall at your feet but your balance is off and you stumble over me im biting my lip and the blood’s showing through it feels like your teeth are biting me too and these bites arent nothing but a glorified bruise that do nothing but remind me of me loving you

one falls one falls as frequent as the rain and twice as transparent i lie to be exiled to be outcast alone again how you have your fun and they just want to tear us up nights not sleeping dreaming through the notes on my guitar ooo man it kills us it kills us and that's what they want another night alone i'm a prisoner in my reason ooo say no say no and hold me when i fade away a crowd forms a crows forms a line to chase the line you need to stimulate your senses i'll try but it's hard to raise a hand when you lower my defenses and i know to be exiled to be outcast alone again how you have your fun and they just want to tear us up nights not sleeping dreaming through the notes on my guitar ooo man it kills us it kills us and that's what they want another night alone i'm a prisoner in my reason ooo say no say no and hold me when i fade away

beach sounds 03:02
and i'll be staring out that window to the end how the birds leave and the trees die again and i never thought that i'd miss this as i never thought i'd go without and the thought of another time oh what i think about what am i to do on a pretty day like this without you? staring out that window yet again how i wish it was the window to what you said and i never thought that i'd miss you as much as i do right now and the seconds pass like days i'm running like time is out

summer 03:41
a lost love in the tree it sits looking down into the black now trying to find calling my name come home to me when will i get back here? how will i get back again? whats the point of it all in the warm months? keep me cold like you always will oh owl in my tree sing a song so i can feel like i belong again what's the point of it all in the warm months? what have i become? steer me back to the path that i should tread oh owl in my tree sing a song so i can feel like i belong again what's the point of it all in the warm months? what have i become? steer me back to the path that i should tread to be already dead sing a song so i can feel like i belong again to be already dead sing a song so i can feel like i belong again and i'm fading out sing a song so i can feel like i belong again and i'm fading out i'm fading out steer me back to the path that i should tread

we passed shops filled with counterfeits to burn for the dead ancestors in the ground mother praying out loud lighting incense and bowing low bowing low to the ground fire in the street it's a fire in the street cover your eyes as the gray fills the skies with that fire in the street and the smoke fills the air and the fire in the street burns brightly and the dread that you feel in your stomach won't leave but hopefully this will bring you peace fire in the street fire in the street cover your eyes as the gray fills the skies with that fire in the street it's been a while now but still she cries and she's stopped wearing black but i can hear behind my back she's not smiling and her sadness fills the air and the fire in the street burns brightly and her eyes are bright too as the tears that fall are dried by the small fire in the street it's a fire in the street cover your eyes as the gray fills the skies with that fire in the street fire in the street

lighttower 02:15
here at the beach as the sun slowly sinks into the sand where i'd rather be on the sea no sign of land be my lighttower and i'll be your raft and we can float away if i sleep another night on this hotel floor i'll break through and lose it all finally fall when you realise that people mean nothing at all we'll float away together and the fear i felt when we set sail was unmatched so vulnerable so cold so frail so guide me my lighttower i know we won't fail we'll float away together no ocean between us but i feel unsure and i mightn't have much but we've got each other so guide me my lighttower i know we won't fail

sand 03:10
staring down the barrel of a life lead oh what a life lead a life lead indeed how i miss my former self so bad so bad i do living in the shadow of myself i'm cold in the darkness oh i i miss them so bad no nights i knew where did where did the sun go? so far ahead

my twisted silhouette is the landscape of my mine i don't mind i don't mind i don't mind the fact that our landscape's changing the days become weeks i feel weak i feel i feel and that's the cause because our landscape's changing what a time it's been back to the all one old ones sad days and lonely nights what a time what a time i know i'm turning to the sea to see you're drifting away be mine be mine and stay
10.
here i am driving at 80 down the black spur at night oh i try sometimes but i watching the lights of the cars go by i've tried and i've tried i won't be alone and afraid i won't be alone and afraid here i am headlights peering into the dark hold my hand and show me you're near not a sound not a song i am alone without you near i won't be alone and afraid i won't be alone and afraid i won't be alone and afraid
