Lost Boys 03:10
Who you are will grow so far from who you were there's no backwards traveling through calendars Who you are will grow so far from who you were while the mirror makes you wish you were a vampire I wanna disappear! You won't even know I'm here I want to disappear Who you are will grow so far from who you were For the affliction of age there is no cure Who you are will grow so far from who you were while the mirror makes you wish you were a vampire I wanna disappear! You won't even know I'm here I want to disappear don't waste your time yeah yeah! don't waste your life yeah yeah! don't become something you don't like I wanna disappear! You won't even know I'm here tick tock tick tock I want to disappear

Born There 03:27
Please don't be a memory sad sister in my dream of buried things and wedding rings and bones under the dirt inside my hands don't ever bring me here again I am coming after you dark stranger in my room I laid the blankets on the floor and looked into the space under the bed Where everything alive is nearly dead and cold I am not an enemy strange spider in the tree I climbed to see my house from somewhere else before I'm swallowed up again and I wont ever be your friend come and keep me company old electricity and light up all your bulbs to paint the walls on all the open window glass Until we're all alone at last and glow When the brown and growing grass, sang their stories to my back I saw the pictures in the air and when I die I'm going there All of us are going there Please hold a place for me new mother in my dream in everything that ever is then ever was then ever is again and I will take it at the end of all When I found the crawling creek I saw myself inside a tree and climbed until I found the air and all of us were born there

Stepdad Rock 03:21
Sunrise and a pocket shirt I know you believe in work and marriage for convenience everything you've ever done's made sense But nothing that you ever said had any bit of love within on his deathbed how am I gonna talk to him? What'd you ever share with us? but her mowed over asparagus and like a garden turned to lawn you got a life you didn't want But top 40 and reruns of M.A.S.H can cover up the silence on his deathbed how am I gonna talk to him? You've still got a lot to prove said the rock I tried to move now let me teach you how to build a fence nothing that you've ever done's made sense And nothing that you ever did could make you anymore my kid on his deathbed how am I gonna talk to him?

Half Note 03:46
I'm trying not to dream about you anymore Cause all I do is wake up tired and all I do is wake up sad and all I do is wake up empty like a half note I'm not sure if I know what you are like anymore and I'm not sure if I know what you look like anymore I'm not in love with you anymore When I woke up I pulled the blankets off the window I'm not in love with you anymore

Little light of mine you will never die 'cause as long as there's a sun we're under you and I will save each other Swallowed in the sun You are the one Little light of mine I will fight until I die 'cause as long as there's a light above you I won't let them ever touch you I wont let ultra violet rays take your life away I wont let ultra violet rays take my life away now the earth is empty and now the sun is full and now the world is spinning around and around your pull and now each night I watch you die and fade away and rise again each day you rise again each day Now I close my eyes when I look into the sun

Rowboats 04:27
Rowboats I see Rowboats Almost everywhere that I go They get farther from the land and smaller then they end and they're filled with every friend that I know I know how should I know where anybody goes when they go I want to believe that they're watching over me or they're part of everything but I don't Leaving you are leaving and you're living like you have a reason I'm happy for you that you've realized what to do and you've found something that you believe in Even if you wont wait for me Tired I was tired Between everything is string and wires then on the very edge of the corner of your bed you tried to fill my head with fire sideways now I'm sideways changes always seem far away and sure, everything's pretend and fine behind your hands but man, if that's gonna end then why wait? I want to wait for you Try to remember what they teach you the earth id moving underneath you it's not a lie, you fill find your way, you will Leaving now I'm leaving to everything there is a season to write another song forgive where you come from and try to find yourself a reason

Water's cool and water's clean and good enough to give our feet like an upside down baptism or something to make us new where we feel old inside our skin or in our souls or just at least to make us feel more clean taking socks off on the lawn felt like I was putting on old clothes I thought I had grown out of or stepping backwards into some place that I loved I hope I die before I ever disappoint you Dark is deep and dark is dark like scariness inside my heart or the inside of a middle school at night Our reflections were in front of me not bright enough to let us see how old we were or how we looked that night anyway, that always changes in my mind You kissed me and we looked around and I started thinking about a picture where my mom taught me to swim I'm not sure now where it went but then while kissing you again I thought I felt like I was falling in I hope I die before I ever disappoint you I tried to scream "I felt in love today" with all the rage of roaring waves but it came out like a sound from underwater You make it harder to accept that nothings ever permanent and now I think you're all the things I thought were when hands are soft and hands are wet they make it easy to forget that only those you love can let you down So if it's dark and hard to see you through the water over me I'll scream and try to make a louder sound I hope I die before I ever disappoint you

All is Lost 05:08
I was lost inside the trees and I believe that when the woods were creaking they were finally speaking to me and through a bend like through a friend like through their own inflection said "there's no direction" all is lost I was lost inside the house, inside the mouth of a voiceless father and his former lover who was lost inside a heart inside a shark that she could leave if broken if she ever spoke up all is lost I didn't belong there at the bottom of a kite at the bottom of a life I was a drivers license in a bolt of lightning I was gone and I was free and when the ghosts inside me cleared out I was an empty locket electrical socket all is lost I would love to know what's been going on and I would love to know where you're coming from I would love to know where the words belong I would love to know what's wrong come find me come lift me up When I was lost inside the dark you pulled the trees apart and left a thousand tiny eyed holes inside of my heart but never mind I'll never mind when you're in love with something and it's all for nothing all is lost

Orphans 05:30
I know you never wanted a life here when you were singing that's as good as it gets everyone was trying to hold your hand and you were pulling them inside of the mess low where I was trying to find you in boxes meant for me to be closed I learned that it's hard to make things right but it's still harder to let things go But wasn't I beginning to love you when I was putting all your pictures away when everything was starting to quiet down I started hearing everything I say But in my dreams of home we're still orphans there inside our rooms alone we're still orphans there Can you watch t.v. while I fall asleep please? I'm awake I'm awake keep the dark away from me In the dark where I saw you in the ceiling in the bed where I saw me in the wall my mind inside the dark would take me far away if you were there I was too scared to call But there was where I woke up excited under the colors of a wondrous age like I was running underneath the parachute but once that starts it starts to go away Why can't I sleep?
