I saw you in the evening sun You weren't afraid of anyone The sky was painted out of phase So count the words; so drown the haze I saw you in the evening sun You weren't afraid of anyone The sky was painted out of phase So count the words; so drown the haze Lying on the road as whispers pierce the clouds above You've got to stay You got to stay 'Cause I've been thinking about you each and every day Overcast and dreaming all tumultuously Take it all back because I saw the sun inside Saw every little thing you left behind Deliria beneath the skin Those flightless eyes are sinking in So tell the floor; so tell the walls It takes the climb to learn to fall Deliria beneath the skin Those flightless eyes are sinking in So tell the floor; so tell the walls It takes the climb to learn to fall Lying on the road as whispers pierce the clouds above You've got to stay You got to stay 'Cause I've been thinking about you each and every day Overcast and dreaming all tumultuously Take it all back because I saw the sun inside Saw every little thing you left behind Don't try and convince me sweetly; let me collapse completely, babe As warm as a plate of ashes, we were just battin' lashes, babe From over your shoulder you could feel me adore you You could feel me adore you, girl, from over your shoulder We were trembling softly by the shore - it's something in those eyes So light it up and show the way 'Cause I've been thinking about you each and every day Those little words will have to stay Because of all you had to say Lying on the road as whispers pierce the clouds above You've got to stay You got to stay 'Cause I've been thinking about you each and every day Overcast and dreaming all tumultuously Take it all back because I saw the sun inside Saw every little thing you left behind

Miss Mary Mack All dressed in black With silver buttons All down her back She took the train Past Driscoll Lane To spill the blood that Swiftly runs through idle veins And with her knife To sink the strife She looked him straight into the eye And took his life Yea it was so hard to find The one she had in mind The one that tripped her fantasy She took her money off the salsa line And put it in the butchery And she was so overjoyed That she found her little toy They've got to take her away While there's still time So as his mind slipped away It conjured up the day He first laid eyes upon her skin Oh she was smitten she was so divine And with a smile she drew him in But now she's spat in his face And turned the tides without a trace They've got to take her away While there's still time Yea it was so hard to find The one she had in mind The one that tripped her fantasy She took her money off the salsa line And put it in the butchery And she was so overjoyed That she found her little toy They've got to take her away While there's still time

Scarlet Lies 03:57
“Fine!” she said, “I'm going away.” “You'd better pack those bags” was all I could say. By the time I'd changed my mind She was a figment, a dream, As sad as it seems, so gone. Lies! Lies! So with an emptiness inscribed You must avert those sorrow eyes, For not a willow wept until the night you left And a penultimate kiss don't taste as fervent as this, my love. Beneath a sun that shines so bright, Or as we're waltzing through the night On top of cobblestones, those silent tones Could paint a picture of you in the evening dew, alone. Lies! Lies! And I was wrong to dance so slow, But I needed time to realize just where to go. In the search to find the flower for you I came across a poet or two. Scarlet lies dripped from their eyes, So take it from me, how bad could it be, my love? I said take it from me, how bad could it be, my love?

Getaway 03:12
You and I, we were lost in the shadows You got me thinking I won't make it to tomorrow You stole my mind Wash the hands, count the spots on the ceiling Leave it feeling all aligned (ooh) And I shouldn't have to check the door (ooh) Eleven times before I fall asleep and (ooh) You got me walking to the second floor Up, down, chase back stop and let me fall into the deep What can I do? What can I do? To get away from you What can I do? To get away from You What can I do? To get away from you What can I do? To get away from You When it's over they'll wring out all my bones For lost is not as lost as we thought it was And found's not as found As that sickened soup that drips before the dawn I don't need the word to say I know I don't need the word to say I know To get away from You

Silhouettes 04:42
Gingerly our silhouettes walk parallel Beneath a sea of desperate electric energy And in spite of my greatest resistance The feeling is marked with persistence I'm drowning in your existence Cascading about, we will soon figure out that we're Aimlessly pacing the streets just to be together I'll write you a thunderstorm So forlorn it echoes and Shatters everything you fear You're too dear to let go Fervent clouds; through bleary eyes and weary minds we Think aloud as distant reflections pass us by And with you, girl, my mind's in a clamor Resonant words are but stammers I think I just might be enamored Its times like these that I notice the breeze is Drifting 'round like two souls drifting around tonight Streetlights cut through the night mist A light kiss: extinguish The fire building inside me Just guide me to your lips and I'll write you a thunderstorm So forlorn it echoes and Shatters everything you fear You're too dear to let go If all of the earth were to disappear I'd still be walking around with you here Dreaming of darkness far away Just relay your smile
