To Know You
03:46

I won’t go inland
and I won’t sail the seas
I will not go with you into your night
only trace the outline of your plight
only trace the outline of your plight
Love…and its lifespan of a mouse
Je veux te connaitre - you go against your nature
Je veux te connaitre - but I read there’s no such thing
as one’s nature
Je veux te connaitre - tender heart becomes tender prey
Je veux te connaitre - I’m on my own again
Je veux te connaitre - I’m like a shitstain on your memories
Je veux te connaitre - all smeared upon your inner peace

Love Is Confirmed
03:41
|

I think of what I’ve become
and I try to forget what I’ve done
but I know that it’s only a dream
things are never as bad as they seem
I burned the soles of my feet
running out of those halls of defeat
though my skin bears the scars of that year
I now walk with a strength I don’t fear
I raise my hands to the sky
and I ask that you feel with one eye
so that you can believe what I see
and bear witness to pain I don’t feel
I think about you so much
and I long for your spellbinding touch
'cos it’s good to feel love is returned
and it’s good to know love is confirmed

Don't Go
04:39

You know I always cry,
at the smallest slight,
but I never said go.
Don’t go.
No enmity in hindsight,
like ships in the night,
just relief at the morning light.
Don’t go.
I know you’ll go.
Don’t go.
Illusions shed like skin,
forgetting where yours end
and mine begin.
And still you go,
I don’t want you to go.
I forgot I was frail,
I forgot I was finite,
I forgot I was fallible,
with a tendency to fail.
Don’t go.
Don’t go.
Inspired by my aversions,
the chorus has spoken,
they told me to go.
Don’t go.
I know you’ll go.
Don’t go.
I said don’t go.
Don’t go.
Don’t go.

Look into your eyes and I remember when you were my
heart’s delight
Put my soul at ease when you put your cool hand on my
burning mind
Trying to be wise as serpents
Harmless as doves
We questioned the material world
Saturn rules the material world
Wish I could forget the night you had to watch me for
signs of life
Started when I was young
wanted to see how far I could take
that ride
I sent her over to whisper in your ear
You know you want her
Succubus sighing in your ear
You know you want her
And I thought I made you glad
Still getting used to being wrong
And yeah I’m doing better
Living better all the time
Got the fundamental questions to my existence
Answered in time
While you’re living for your road of excess
Got some more years of that left
Trying to be wise as serpents
Harmless as doves
You’re deep in your solipsism
It’s where you find your meaning
You gave me shelter
Shelter from my own storm
I thought we had the answer
Pity you got no questions anymore

Still Alive
03:28
|

My friends, they tried to intervene
but I was never so good at staying alive
spending half my life screaming save my life
please save my life
And if you say you’ll take me back
I promise to try harder
and look good while I try
I promise to be better
And if you say you’ll take me back
no fussing or complaining
no taking too much time
get better at disappearing
And if you say you’ll take me back
I promise I won’t cry
when you don’t come home for days
don’t come home for days
don’t come home for days
don’t come home for days
don’t come home
don’t come home
Love to me feels like it’s in between
pain and pleasure, at your leisure
waiting by the phone wondering
if you’re alive
even if you’re not
I’ll be by your side
Love to me feels like it’s in between
pain and pleasure, at your leisure
waiting by the phone wondering
if you’re alive
even if you’re not
I’ll be by your side

Sign From Above
04:31
|
|||
Didn’t know what I was fighting for
Pick myself up off the bathroom floor
You know I’m only human
I got my regrets
I try to forget
And in my radical self-acceptance
I’m grateful for the heartache
And I was always true to you
When our legs made a sign
like a crucifix
And I was true, and I was true
Can’t say the same
for you
And I was true, and I was true
Burned by the torch I held for you
The seasons turned
And you returned
Parting a crowd like the Son of Man
The seasons turned
And you returned
The verses we wrote
Held high in your hand
In denial, in denial
My favourite way to love
In denial, in denial
My favourite way to make love
In denial, in denial
Waiting for a sign from above
In denial, in denial
Gazing at a picture of you as a child
In denial, in denial
Why don’t you come inside
for awhile?
