Bones 03:47
A dream worth its weight in bone Cracked wheels kiss a tired road A truth we fear to know Stopped thunder when lightning shone Broke, stoned and let claret run, still Acceptance does not come near Dog-eared, throats left bruised Old scars, new tattoos You claim our stars won’t align But we dream with open eyes A heart worth its depth in time Desiderating but of strong design still Blank skies posing blue These souls sold as safe subsides The James Dean Complex and patient tides, still Acceptance does not come near Tall falls, bouncing bones Burst stitches, stepping stones You claim our stars won’t align But we dream with open eyes

Afterglow 03:55
Hello, past years You’ve been grating and groaning Meticulous moaning has left dead skin wanting reborn For caustic years I’d take timber and tinder through tempests and taverns Synapses sinned and cells tore If only there was something I could take A bone to break So rest my fears Take me to the familiar place where I swear I’ve not been Or seen before Well this was never something I could fake My childhoods wake My blossomed heart it beats like a windmill My green irises are like jailbirds wings in cast Harnessing lycanthropy with every breath is a city ruined Let the world live deep within my pupils stare. I feel much better Gambled on danger So nice to meet ya Once was a traitor

Your excuses seem tired, so let's give them a rest tonight. I'm trying to settle the fire, while you sit back, take aim and ignite. My intentions are good, just raised in attendance of a ghost that's been sleeping next to you, keeping score of the notches on your bedpost. So how about you? Are you still bending noughts to squares? Spare me the truth, did you get there in the end? They sit, watch, as we collide. Lighting up the spinning tide She holds me down impossible to flee, when she pulls like gravity. Do you remember that winter when we sang when things turned green again? We ran away from the frostbite and drowned our sins in sugar and champagne. Oh Mother Mother, when did I lose the face to pretend that I trusted mirrors when they only show us backwards in the end?
