Coming Up 04:03
I’m comin up to this place to be alone I’m not shutting off I’m turning down I don’t believe in love Two birds fly up they found a place where they can be alone They don’t cry out that they don’t know and don’t believe in love Needles for the winds that power the soft blows A lens that built a fence around the cave Screaming in the aisles when we don’t know Who is left to trust the trails we laid Please don’t look up for me i am not more than where i stand I rise just to fall I’m falling down I won’t believe in love Needles for the winds that power the soft blows a lens that built a fence around the cave Screaming in the aisles when we don’t know Who is left to trust the trails we laid I’m coming up to this place to be alone I’m not shutting off I’m turning down I don’t believe in love

Trails 04:00 video
I’ve got nothing to show in these hands of mine ohhhhh I have no reasons to stay behind oh please don’t let me leave this life and let the light come in I’ll let the light come in I can’t look beyond today So i’ll turn to look behind These strings i can’t untie How could you have no reasons left to stay with me oh please don’t leave me here with nothing There’s no reason why to look at me so sadly when i cry for you This noise is all so maddening when night birds are always screaming out for you ooh

My Baby 03:34
My baby doesn’t love me anymore I’ve hurt but i’ve never been hurt quite like this before I never need a good reason to stay in the state that i do I’ve heard 10,000 reasons but i never know which one is true I don’t know what’s keeping me here anymore I’ve left but i’ve never been lost quite like this before Give me just one good reason to stay in this place that i do I’ve heard 10,000 reasons but i now know that none are true This train’s boarding I cry out loud, what could i do i can’t blur the truth What can i do i can’t wait for you The train’s leaving I cry out loud, what did i do to lose out on you My baby doesn’t love me anymore, my baby doesn’t love me anymore My baby doesn’t love me anymore, he doesn’t love me at all He doesn’t love me at all, he doesn’t love me at all He never loved me at all

Fluorescent powder flying softly through the air Angel sighs surround me Seems like it’s been forever; think i just need a moment Sorry i need reminding I’ve never been so good at trying Please don’t leave me behind We’ve become what we never wanted Just like water we fall She won’t believe it’s love oh no she won’t believe He won’t believe in love oh no he won’t believe Cloud of confusion flutters softly beneath I ignore all the urges inside me Holding myself so still Don’t even feel the glow Your sunlit smiles believing I’m never all that good at lying Nothing i see here is mine We always do what we never mean to The worlds we build they fall She won’t believe it’s love oh no she won’t believe He won’t believe in love oh no he won’t believe Go down, down, down We’ll go down, down, down She won’t believe in love oh no she won’t believe He won’t believe it’s love oh no he won’t believe x3

In My Head 02:55
6.
Do you want to go out, when do you go out Do you want to go out, when do you go out Too tired to climb the snarling vines We separate again to find that our paths were aligned So busy searching for signs It’s time to walk away but then you found you want to stay Please stick around even though we’re going down ooh We slipped inside the rocks and tides Afraid of what our hands may find Could we stay for awhile We should stay for awhile Pulled into a dizzy pool We swam too straight and swam too soon It seems we will drown the only way out was down ooh Do you want to go out, when do you go out Do you want to go out, when do you go out Run run over here Why have you followed me here x2 Run run over here You’re lost and nowhere near Do you want to go Do you want to go away from here Do you want to go Do you want to go away from here Where will you go

Sighs 03:48
Finally outside She breathes, sighs of relief She spends her hours in a swirling haze No lust, no grief, no scars left Underneath she will keep on believing here she comes now she comes now she comes this way meet desire with desire we’ll go our own way she’s the only one i’ve ever known to feel the same she’s the only one i’ve ever known to walk away finally at home she seeks a quiet place to be sleeping for hours of pouring rain no lust no grief, knowing her underneath she will keep on believing here she comes now she comes now she comes this way meet desire with desire we’ll go our own way she’s the only one i’ve ever known to feel the same she’s the only one i’ve ever known to walk away here she comes now she comes now she comes this way here she comes now she comes now she comes this way here she comes now she comes now she comes this way meet desire with desire we’ll go our own way

Counterglow 04:08
So messed up Leave me down here for a little while I’ve been down I’ve been down but only for a little while Swim so close I can see the bottom not too far below Clean the lens off Don’t remind me tomorrow Take some rest I’ll take another turn if you do first Leave whats left Leave the background before it gets worse I’ve been down I’ve been down but only for a little while I’ve been looking I’ve been looking but my hands are tied I see a closed and shaky hand No one’s moving and no one’s sad Silver lenses the air’s on fire I’m not looking I’ve been down Don’t remind me tomorrow

Ocean 04:08
You used to wait for me by the shore You used to wait for me to come down come down You have always carried on this way You will always carry on in this way I used to stand there all alone I used to pray for things to calm down calm down I can’t always carry all the weight I have always carried all this weight

Trance Out 02:43
same ni oikakerare nando mo furikaete nigete mo owareru itsuka wa oboreru daro *translation* Being chased by sharks, I keep looking over my shoulder Try to escape, but they keep coming Someday I’ll just drown amari ni mo baka baka shiku hanashite tsukareru taiyo wa mabushisugiru atama ga karuku naru mune ni wa hibi ga dekiru mo iki wa dekinaku naru *translation* The endless stupid babbling Just makes me tired The sun is harsh and blinding My head spins, feels weak My chest starts to crack I stop breathing This view just might carry on for days and leave me turning in the waves maigo no nakushi mono sagase nai tame nigete mo owarete *translation* Wayward things i lose I still can’t find So i’ll escape just to be chased This view just might carry on for days and leave me turning in the waves same ni oikakerare nando mo furikaete nigete mo oboreru daro *translation* Being chased by sharks, i keep looking over my shoulder I’ll escape, but i’ll just drown This view just might carry on for days and leave me turning in the waves

Pink Light 04:28
On a seasick slide We rise with the tide Dizzy and tossed over crooked and strained I set out to give all my poison away Neon sunrise These swells bloom at the wrong times I’ve lost all my spine and i hate what i’ve gained My feet in the marshes my head sore and drained Ring out Won’t you ring out Ring out Won’t you ring out Seas of pink light No i can’t see the places you hide out Under the branches and out through the rains I shed my last layers and gave them away Ring out Won’t you ring out Ring out Won’t you ring out
