Into the Abyss

Ooo there are billions and billions of stars my love
and billions of galaxies, far beyond what your eyes can see
and there’s endless possibility
in this incomprehensible infinity
and we ride a wave of time together
and it takes all of our combined effort
so don’t be afraid, of the things from which you’re made
i looked into the abyss, and it asked me for a kiss
i looked into the abyss and it offered me a kiss
Ooo there are billions and billions of hearts my love
and they beat with me - onwards towards infinity
and there’s billions and billions of energies
in this endless sea of possibility
and we ride a wave of time together
and it takes all of our combined effort
so don’t be afraid, of the things from which you’re made
i looked into the abyss, and it asked me for a kiss
i looked into the abyss and it offered me a kiss
i stared into the abyss and it danced with me like this
i looked into the abyss and it offered me a kiss
don’t be afraid of the stars from which you’re made
don’t be afraid, this universe is not a grave
don’t be afraid of the things from which you’re made
don’t be afraid…
don’t be afraid
(and it asked me for a kiss…I looked into the abyss)

elegant boxes
02:59
|
|||
|
there will be nobody left in this town
the buildings empty and dark
as you scan the windows for a face
because everything happens for a reason
and this time when we left
we knew we were leavin
elegant boxes, all made toxic by a seamless system (that kept us in them)
elegant boxes to domesticate foxes in a vengeful system to keep them hidden
there was a moment when we made a bargain
a deal the house thought we would never win
but they forgot the moment we were locked in
our escape would begin
and this time when we left
we knew we were leavin

Running Away
05:28
|

running away, isn’t an option anymore
every open window leads to a locked door
and I’ve been afraid but it never felt like this before: there’s nothing alive in here
except memories of you
saying you’d visit often as you closed the coffin lid
telling me all the things you never ever did
except when you were saying goodbye like this: wave me away
and blow a kiss
every fool knew exactly where I was heading
and any idiot could tell what I’d be getting
a matter of time
before you’d start forgetting that you cared
and running away, isn’t an option anymore
they think i’ve been dead
at least two months or more
and i can’t feel pain
so i can be sure
there’s nothing alive in here
not even me
clawing my way to the surface, my only purpose
make my progress with muddy curses
who knew lovers could be so worthless
leave me underground as if this dirt could hurt us
it scares me nothing scares me
look into my eyes
and it was insulting to make it feel like suicide
the tears that feel from me for all the times i tried
diamonds in the hands of someone who values sand
and running away with you was all i ever wanted to do
running away was all i ever wanted

oh my heartbeat times this train equals its destination
it’s the moment plus the force of our focused concentration
moving us forwards never straight, moving this torture to create
moving this fortune of concrete to its feet
oh your features haunt my eyes and my imagination
it’s the heat my fingers meet, that allows this navigation
moving me past anxiety, moving you always near to me
moving where I can’t see
concrete blocks make the city, but this pavement’s underneath me
oh your heartbeat times your brain equals its replication
oh your thoughts and needs will change upon your reservations
moving us forwards in a race, moving us into outer space
moving your fortune of concrete to the street
in blocks

Way Back When
04:41

back before we were friends
do you remember
baby way back when (it wasn’t so long ago)
back before we were friends
we used to spend time together
baby way back when
all of those times you were goin away
i always thought that there was something i could do
so you’d stay…but I guess I was wrong
do you remember
baby way back when (it wasn’t so long ago)
back when it wasn’t pretend
back when we were together
baby way back when
all of those times you were goin away
i always thought that there was something i could do
so you’d stay
ooo babe I know I always go the wrong way
but just turn me around and it’ll be ok
i give you permission to change

to kill the mockery bird
02:07
|
|||
|
she’s been caged
disengage
the little princess
is a mess
alone on her planet
you’ve made a mockery of everything
and out of your darkness I sing
nightingale
my throat
you’ve really fucked it all up this time baby
you’ve sucked all the beauty out of our love
the vampyre in the alley
waiting for my blood
i’ll fly one of these days
away

there’s a lot of songs that you haven’t danced to
there’s a lot of lovers who won’t get the chance to
so what were you saving up for
you wear your makeup like you’re going to war tonight
there’s an empty dance floor that wants to hold you
there’s some things you said that you didn’t mean to at the time
and you’re picking up pieces of loneliness
but you’re only making a bigger mess tonight
and you hold out your hands, like you’re asking for something
from the ceiling - fall to me
and you hold our your hands, like your reaching for something
some kind of meaning - fall to me
make up the steps now
all of this work for a pretty mask to wear
all of this effort just to get the fuck out of there
and you may as well have stayed home
if you’re gonna just stand there all alone
and you hold out your hands, like you’re asking for something
from the ceiling - fall to me
and you hold our your hands, like your reaching for something
some kind of meaning - fall to me
i’ll dance with you, on the frontlines
i’ll dance with you, make up the steps now

throw it wide open
05:00
|

fear is just a window, a window into focus
banish it, vanish it, tahdahhhhh
just a bit of hocus pocus
Fear is just a filter
throw it into focus
like mirror or a lampshade
don’t look what’s only on the surface…
throw it wide open
there’s a prize inside
throw it wide open
into the sky
throw it wide open
there’s a prize inside
throw it wide open
throw it wide open
fear is just a method, meant to draw focus
channel it, handle it, hahaaaa
take control and have some purpose
fear is just a side dish, of an entree they call trouble
eat it up, shit out, ahahaaaa
pop it like a bubble
and throw it wide open
there’s a prize inside
throw it wide open
into the sky
throw it wide open
there’s a prize inside
throw it wide open
throw it wide open

Get Into the Bedroom
02:05
|
|||
|
baby talk a walk, but there’s a smile and a handshake
and the endless need to talk as I fade away
baby aren’t you tired of the lip service collar stains
I’m here if you need to talk or some other cliché
get into the bedroom get onto the floor get into the bedroom get your foot inside the door
maybe I’m alone too much to judge if I’m out there
but your endless need to know is the real disease
baby I grew tires of being handcuffed to that pastime
yes my aim is very true, but it is not to please

We're Gonna Be OK
03:50
|

we’re gonna be ok, i can still put on hair
make up a song and do drag from my house
we’re gonna be ok!
we’re gonna make it, we’re gonna do it
don’t buy all the toilet paper you guys!
it’s gonna be alright
i know it’s hard, to be stuck inside
i know it’s weird to think it’s keeping us alive
staying in here - it’s a form of captivity
but if the tigers can do it then so can we…
and we’re gonna be ok - well actually, a lot of us won’t
but that’s because of the people that we put in positions of authority
and we’re gonna do it, we’re gonna change it
this is still a democracy you guys!
but if we want it we gotta fight…
it’s not a new thought, but what if we just said to the fed
we are not going to give you any more of our taxes
until you start taking care of moms instead of buying bombs
we want healthcare for everyone everywhere
what if we just stop taking it
what if we just stop taking it
what if we just stop taking it
in bed with them we’re always faking it
and some of us will be ok
but we’re gonna need a complete overhaul
we gotta love each other more than money y’all
and we’re gonna be ok
If we believe we can make it, and then we do it
it’s not about toilet paper you guys.
