Comatose 03:21
"Your loss" she screamed at me from the get go I was watching raindrops condense on the outside of my window And I screamed back at her "Oh God what do you know" I'm trying to regain faith in a god that I don't know Your loss she screamed at me in the schoolyard We played with tiny toys and old fake cigars But you talked to me as if I was baby Not aware of the consequences inside of me Cause it's sleep deprivation that's been keeping me from you I'm in a deep comatose and I'd like to Come over if that would be alright with you I'll come alone if thats okay cause my tables set just for two Oh they can see you whispering in the back of your mind Oh they can see you whispering in the back of your mind So hold on tight

Oh my sweet boy I've convinced myself I was the devil and all my friends agreed I asked them nicely wont you become Satan with me But they all declined Instead they ventured to the village with the holy mountain shrine Where they all lost their faith in a god I didn't believe in From the start Oh my sweetest friend You've been loosing your feet But I know a place where you can feel your arms and limbs again Oh my dearest love The one who I lost in the fire I have put you down when you put out my passion and desire

Oh let's start a fire darlin', Oh let's start a war I've lived for 17 years my darlin' and im about to live for 6 more But when I'm 24 I'll perish and I'll have my blood smeared across the floor Oh let's start an anthem darlin', Let's start singing' a song We can try to get all the words right darlin' but some of them will be wrong And we'll perish in a nuclear holocaust when my bones turn to french fries I'm starting to think that it's with you my darlin' that I would like to die So please save me from your smiling face or I think I might just cry Oh let's start a living darlin', Oh let's make a pact We can join up all the false memories of our absent dads And we can think about the future that will never come for either you or me Oh let's start a cult my darlin', Oh lets start some fun We can set up all our lawn chairs and think about the puns That we used to laugh at younger ages and of simpler minds Oh I'm starting to think that it's with you my darlin' that I would like to die So please save me from your smiling face or I think I might just cry So please save me from your smiling face or I think I might just cry So please save me from your smiling face cause I think I might just cry

Ice Water 05:15
We shared a glass of ice water when we went to the city I've told you in previous songs that your eyes look devilishly pretty But you turned me into a black sheep inside my own mind The braids that were coming from your head would only deteriorate in due Time But oh I wish it had worked out the way that the both of us planned And oh i wish i could tell the difference between my heart and my hand I wish you didn't make me a prisoner in my own mind Cause now my only solace is finding god and passing the time Oh I remember my childhood sitting next to you We went through all of the mystic valleys and painted them all blue But you turned my gold into silver by night And I'd outgrown you in wit but you'd outgrown me in Height But oh I wish it had worked out the way that the both of us planned And oh i wish i could tell the difference between my heart and my hand I wish you didn't make me a prisoner in my own mind Cause now my only solace is finding god and passing the time

Shining like a work of art Hanging on a wall of stars Are you what I think you are? You're my satellite You're riding with me tonight Passenger side, lighting the sky Always the first star that I find You're my satellite Elevator to the moon Whistling our favorite tune Trying to get a closer view You're my satellite You're riding with me tonight Passenger side, lighting the sky Always the first star that I find You're my satellite Maybe you will always be Just a little out of reach You're my satellite You're riding with me tonight Passenger side, lighting the sky Always the first star that I find You're my satellite You're my satellite

Oh I know a place where you can feel your virgin veins Protruding out your skin the fragments will all feel okay It will feel again like you were born again into my hands And it will feel just like you were bored in the sand Oh I know a place where you can let your loving grow Oh I know an animal where all your thoughts can all go It will feel again like you were born again into my hands And it will feel just like you were bored in the sand Cause I am loosing my fucking mind I am loosing my fucking mind I can feel it in-between us While the symphony accompanies the rain But when the wind blows through your branches I'll still feel the same I can feel it in-between us The breeze blowing by the way And the glass outlines of children Wild at play Cause I am loosing my fucking mind I am loosing my fucking mind

All my veins and arteries are poking out of me like some sort of metal tree's replacing my blood And I know I've gone insane cause the way you call my name Doesn't sound the same anymore And i feel that childhood did me no good Cause evil's taken me And the storm is getting rough But i thought i would stay tough and leave you to dry And Oh I'm loosing sleep on you But you shouldn't lose sleep on me too But you shouldn't lose sleep on me too I've got someone thinking that I've lost everything i once had But the truth is my friend I've got no meaningful end So I'll die right here by your side You've got so many broken things A thousand trinket rings And you tell me they're not for sale I'm losing my grip I'm losing all my shifts that I thought were real But you should come home my love But you should come home my lover I missed you so I missed you so I missed you so

After the Mountain Fire Denver, Colorado
