God Complex 04:17

I live in the shadows I'm the monster under your bed I know what you're thinking I remember whatever you say And I am here, I am there, I am everywhere When I'm not here, I'm not there, I'm not anywhere It's like a psychic impulse I know what the nearest future holds I split through the ocean tempests My fire can melt the winter cold A delicate heart is beating I take up the armor and the sword I won't let you go without me I can't let this power go I live in the shadows I'm the monster under your bed I know what you're thinking I remember whatever you say And I am here, I am there, I am everywhere When I'm not here, I'm not there, I'm not anywhere But I've gotta let it go someday It's like a nervous impulse I'm reaching my hand to catch you I guess I was too late this time You trip and you fall and get back up A million eyeballs glaring A training wheel that I can't take off This world can be pretty scary I keep all the curtains closed But you're getting older, you're getting older It's time for the watch to head to bed Undo all the locks and open up I'm letting you out today My million eyes are blinded A scrape or a bruise or a broken arm You won't let a worry stop you You've got the whole world to take on Yeah, I'm gonna let you grow now

No Face 05:43
lyrics

I got up on the wrong side, I went over the deep end I got up on the wrong side, I went over the deep end I got up on the wrong side, I went over the deep end And you laughed, you laughed, you laughed, little girl And I promise not to tell Are you alright? It doesn't bother me one bit. But your feet upon the floor by my door, I'd ignore And I burrow deeper under--undercover--a little longer And you wept, you wept, you wept I was beside myself I got up on the wrong side, I went over the deep end I got up on the wrong side, I went over the deep end I realized when you cried, you saw it in my eyes If I could do this over... It's like the more I hide I share, it's so unfair

This Shallow Water 03:01
lyrics

Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep In my arms, in my arms Go to sleep (this shallow water) Go to sleep (our bodies lifting) Go to sleep (toss and return me) Go to sleep (why don't you hold me down?) Fall under (thick, tidal fishhooks) Fall under (impaling, dragging) Cold (I'm damn-near drowning) and lifeless (They pull you from me) In my arms (This deeper water) In my arms (Cold hooks control me) In my arms (This deeper water) In my arms (Won't let it hold me down) I paddle back to shore I paddle back to shore

Wanderer 04:12
lyrics

Close your eyes, listen up This one's a classic One dark night--thunderclaps A broken man walks the fractured road Hook-bent back, hacking cough Sick from the cold Left-right-left, bended knee With nowhere left to go So he stumbles on and on And he won't look backward Crumpled up, useless tongue Sat by the fire A flower sprouts for tomorrow A few short years, time is borrowed Then she held his hand She pulled him close and said, "Wait for me, please. Wait for me." His heavy body lingered beside her, Clinging to the air. And she said, "Let's stay here and Call this home now."

Wild Card 04:26
lyrics
buy track
Shuffle one more time, turn it over Shuffle on and watch every corner Leave your mark and, again, paint it over Tiptoe step and then walk it backwards Will you, won't you? I'm an anxious mess Will you, won't you? Make some sense of this Let me know, won't you? Think it over I'll be here till then, marking calendars This strange situation--how it carries on I keep on searching past this for tomorrow Is there a signpost or two I can follow? This card I drew from the pile: black-red joker A panicked, orphan child stumbles through the door Twilight supernova, wipe the forecast clear If we fall outside the circle, we can draw a new one If we fall outside the circle, we can draw a new one If we fall outside the circle, we can draw a new one

Daughter Figure 03:13
lyrics

Nothing like each other Open from the middle Guilty for this sorry place we're in Guiltless 'cause I found you, hoping Every night is cool Winter blows its cover Pause the broadcast chaos Time is warped in crystalline snow Don't know how it comforts me Shivers tend to go away when you say, "It's alright."

Stumbling, Mumbling, Fumbling 03:57

Morning, little darling, there's your breakfast on the counter Have you washed up? Combed your hair out? Have a great day, honey. See you after school. Hey, baby, hurry. There's the bus-- Just missed it. Daddy's in a rush Come, hold my hand. Pick up the pace. We've got to hurry, got to-- Oh, stop the pouting. Stop the whining Won't you hurry, baby girl? Pick up your feet and quiet down And don't you dare talk back to me. Now, no more crying There's a consequence for trying patience No, no more bargains To your room and shut the door behind you Morning, little darling, there's your breakfast on the counter Have you washed up? Combed your hair out? Why so quiet? What's the matter? Are you worried? Are you nervous? Are you hurting? Are you angry? Take a bite before your food gets colder No more frowning, daddy's got you I can't see your eyes And now my heart is sinking Come on, hold my hand and tell me What has got you down Now, won't you please talk back to me I'm sorry. What did I do wrong? Are you hurting? Are you angry? Take a bite, just talk to me Talk to me, talk to me No more running, no more hiding Right back where we started Change the channel, wash our faces Now you're right back by my side and smiling

Bully 03:48
lyrics

Leave her alone, you bully You hear me? Let's settle the score I'm walking home, consume me The fury, the sticks and the stones But I'm not alone, 'cause she's looking on Thanatos, consume me, within me I can't hold it off Tighten the ropes Restrain me--unyielding-- 'Cause she's looking on Eye of the storm Speak clearly You hear me? Be still and be calm Sheathing my tongue For her sake She's watching And I'll let her know That she's not alone this time

Sick Days 04:47
lyrics

If the sky were falling, would you hold me? If my hands were shaking, would you trust me? I'll get you up for school, put you to bed Check that your supper's warm On my best day, I could make you better without even asking If the sky were falling, would you forgive me? We let out thirty birds And only two had come back home You asked me where they'd gone And I just told you I don't know If the sky were falling, would hold me? If my hands were shaking, would you trust me? Snowed-in hilltops, I can feel them melting

Broken Hearted 01:55
lyrics
buy track
How can I cure your broken heart? I'm asking questions; the tears won't stop Check your breathing Booster shots, then Gonna get you all patched up Settle down, now Hush, hush, girl Point to where it hurts the most Anesthetize to buy some time No tools of mine reach far enough You cry, then I cry and This disease might eat us up Congealing, Time passing, Stitch up the scars and carry on

Newborn 03:08
lyrics

When you came home I--I lost my words Our scripted future--sandcastle watered down Your careful eyes met my imperfection But still I tried to tear down the silence Well, I've got none of you and you've got none of me Your grand inheritance is my philosophy Tabula Rasa--make what you want of this And let me hold you up just as you have for me Just you and I in this dull apartment I thought of asking you If this life is adequate Your quiet eyes met my life of failure Empty the garbage can and still come back again
