Black & Blue 03:43
Silver scalpels dancing on your skin. They cut away your flaws again. Baby, isn’t that exciting. I can turn you black and blue. When I see you in a wishing well, throwing pennies all around your self. When I see you fall under a spell, I’m in control and you’re a ghost in a shell. Now there’s poachers in the jungle and their rifles fill the tress with thunder. And you’re game to every hunter and they’ll turn you black and blue. When I see you in a wishing well, throwing pennies all around your self. When I see you fall under a spell, I’m in control and you’re a ghost in a shell. Try to get away from me. I’m not done with you.

The Code 03:42
Missing all the stops along the way to my final destination. There’s never any time for roses or the smell of sugar pine. Maybe they'll write a code as infinite and complex as the world. Maybe we will see all that chaos in binary. The godhead in the numbers we have dreamed of. I’m tired of the spin. My arms feel like prosthetic limbs by my side. Keep thinking I'll be the one who gets to live his life like it's on a silver screen. Maybe they'll write a code as infinite and complex as the world maybe we will see all that chaos in binary. The godhead in the numbers we have dreamed of.

Wonderland 04:24
Sneaking out on your own under the radar. You keep checking your phone and looking in the mirror. And you smile from ear to ear. Just like a cheshire cat before he disappears. Can’t shrink you down and hold you in my hand. Can’t solve your riddles. Warnings I didn’t understand. I’ll be around and maybe that’s the plan. I’ll be right here now go have fun in Wonderland. Your key’s in the door. Headlights on a stranger’s car. You can blow it off like before. You’re the queen of hearts. And your tail is so tall it’s blowing the roof off and breaking the walls. Can’t shrink you down and hold you in my hand. Can’t solve your riddles. Warnings I didn’t understand. I’ll be around and maybe that’s the plan. I’ll be right here now go have fun in Wonderland.

Run Away 04:23
The sun is at your back. It makes a halo around your head. And all the other angels hide when the sun sets. You snuck into the dream world and swallowed all the light so you could burn a little brighter. Leave tracers on my eyes. Run away. Don’t look back. Take all my wishes. I ever had. You’re a falling star. I still don’t know where you are. The universe don’t need us or the secrets that we hide. The air that filled you up was just like the breath of life. I don’t need your ashes to be sure that you were burned. I saw you fly into the sun like a prometheus balloon. Run away. Don’t look back. Take all my wishes. I ever had. You’re a falling star. I still don’t know where you are. Peace comes to all souls from pisces to virgos so I know you have to go. Swallow the red sun. The apples of eden. You will never grow old. Run away. Don’t look back. Take all my wishes. I ever had. You’re a falling star.
5.
Sailing stones. Our tracks run side by side for miles but we never cross a soul. That don’t make us heartless. Sailing stones. We’ve been around awhile but we never seem to grow old. That don’t mean we’re haunted. Sailing stones. We lay down on the tile with the music playing on our phones. Tangled in the darkness.
