Half 05:18
Half wake, half sleep to dream Half blade cured my disease Waving flare guns, white blaze I got this, but I haven’t made my peace Cold hands wake no dead souls While we’re all here, praise the water Idle heart sings the best low tunes Sacred cadence, praise the water Half way Half words Blossoms Moses Hold back the sun Don’t say a word Turn off the time My bones dissolved Hold back your tongue Hope you’ve been wrong Take three to swop But two to dance How far to go How soon to know Don’t break my spell Haven’t you heard You wouldn’t stay a day You wouldn’t touch a thing The devil’s taunt is turning station to house The shade you cover here Across my hidden plain Was I only half comprehend I couldn’t scream a scream In whitest lucid dream The leaking noise cue to dying alive The hollow holds me tight The creeps from second floor To move, or melt Or is it my fault to clasp

Overload 05:09
Sweet old dying species from the sky I gather their bones to build a fire Sweet old dying species scattered all around The system is down beyond repair But you climb You climb Sweet dying species from the sky I gather their bones to build a fire Sweet old dying species all around The system is down beyond repair Sweet old dying species from the sky I gather their bones to build a fire Sweet old dying species scattered all around The system is down beyond repair Has been long gone Has been long gone Has been long gone Has been long gone

Snow falls on your eyelids Snow falls on your white tears Snowblind, I’ll find you and carry on Yonder beyond your sleep Some say you’ve been gone for thousand years Hey Some say heroes never die Hey Cruising in my mind for far too long Far too long Praying softly in this godless world Far too heavy Strip my light Bare my soul to garish moon I’ll give my whole Strip my light Bare my soul to garish moon I’ll give my whole Wait here, don’t move, get what you deserve Childish old Close your eyes let’s do another trip Touch the time and back Carry me Carry me Carry me Carry me… Strip my light Bare my soul to garish moon I’ll give my whole Strip my light Bare my soul to garish moon I’ll give my whole

House of patchouli smoke Shifting lights red as sin, green as weed Gilded people around me 70’s dope gods and princes Floor that spins Enter the pale king of all Mystic night, canopy above me Scarlet and velvet we lay Talk about ceremonial black magic Sea wind you send me this dream Kingfisher birds Juniper Tangerine Secrets you whisper to me (Treasures of Seven Seas) Secrets you whisper to me (Treasures of Seven Seas) Man with a feather hat stands before me ‘Where’s the king?’ I asked confusingly ‘Gone to the house of Rome, For all tomorrow’s parties that shall live on’

Hollowness 04:11
Hollow inside animals Bleed my barren land Creatures dying on their backs Severed from their past In light we despair Cold as my revenge Sweet child of incest You stumble over everywhere, everywhere Coma wakes me by her hand Put me to sleep Broken sparrow comes alive Battle cry Summer I’ve been dragged and buried Down to see you weep In light we despair Cold as my revenge True weeping is not yet to come, so you said All freeze in August anyway, anywhere Coma wakes me by her hand Put me to sleep Swaying with my tender love Before the dawn Storm or Titans fight a war Don’t mean nothing Crossing the threshold of decay The White God is waiting At the top of the tower Everything is obsolete Even the eternal beauty within Hollow inside animals Bleed my barren land Creatures dying on their backs Severed from their past

Whence I came Whither I went Still I await The shadow that I’ve became Heaven I trash below Wings that I’d rather broke All that comes to birth Is fit for overthrown From dusk to the dead of night Street lamps that crawl behide You’re catastrophic you’re epic You’re born to dissolve The light-tight way home A kiss from a magical rite You’re catastrophic you’re epic You’re born to transform The road is ready The archangels kneel by your side You’re schizophrenic, I love it You supernova To bleed from the inside And swirl to way down below You’re metamorphic you’re epic You’re born to dissolve You’re neurasthenic, I love it You supernova You’re schizophrenic, I love it You supernova To bleed from the inside And swirl to way down below You’re catastrophic Dollhouse baby You’re charismatic in a cult star manner You superchrist-star Play the game well My supernova I love it You’re problematic Crimson baby You’re self-destructive in most causal manner You fix you turn You got the whole house working You’re fucking genius I love it You’re catastrophic

19 Crimes 03:44
Drive down to south town go start a fire Don’t wanna leave anyone alive Taking them over cutting them open Pull dust and blood out of my hair Some deceptions are heaven sent Heavenly smooth derange Mistaken falling for life divine Blue for the ocean wide In between feelings Frontier to nowhere, nature is shameless Someday I’ll leave but now I just want it all Some deceptions are heaven sent Heavenly smooth derange Mistaken falling for life divine Blue for the ocean wide Endless highway city unslept Blow your rage away Do your best and pray for the rest Leave it to the red right hand 19 crimes maybe more Done 19 crimes maybe more Done 19 crimes maybe more Done 19 crimes maybe more Done 19 crimes maybe more

Lucid dream Chemistry Nighttime fix All I need Been louder So I don’t speak Let you in Caving in What did I just say Better to leave before they turn on the light Oh Lord, I did it again Drifting patiently in where I feel fine again Drifting aimlessly in where I am found again Drifting patiently in some places like…mud…stone… On guard 72 hours Get too low when I’m high Put sunglasses after dark So I don’t have to see your fucking face The drinking is for my comfort And the songs are here to entertain Everybody hooray I don’t like the ghost but the ghosts like me What else can I explain I would like to say something wise But that won’t make everybody feel better, alright I lost eye contact in the middle of the spiritual journey Must be the other half of me The dirty alter ego The floor’s spinning I have to go Tell me how to stop all these things How to stop all these things How to stop all these things How to stop all these things How to stop all these things from going How to do all these things How to smash a building How to do all these things How to tear off your face How to do all these things How to sing under water How to do all these things How to kill and feel no guilt How to do this How to spread the disease How to spread the disease Lucid dream Away from me Daylight sleep Cradle me Diamond sky Static wind Jump in river Out of you White god Wait, what did I just say Better to leave before they turn on the light Oh Lord, I did it again Drifting patiently in where I feel fine again But I don’t need no more of your help I don’t need no more of your love I don’t need no more of your help I don’t need no more of your love I don’t need no more of your help (No more from the ground) I don’t need no more of your love (No more from the ground) No more from the ground No more from the ground
