Cast the calming apple
Up and over satellites
To draw out the timid wild one
To convince you it's alright
And I listen for the whisper
Of your sweet insanity while I formulate
Denials of your affect on me
You're a stranger
So what do I care
You vanish today
Not the first time I hear
All the lies

What am I to do with all this silence
Shy away, shy away phantom

Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say

Clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
Eye on what i'm after
I don't need another friend
Smile and drop the cliche
'Till you think I'm listening
I take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again
Peripheral on the package
Don't care to settle in
Time to feed the monster
I don't need another friend
Comfort is a mystery
Crawling out of my own skin

Go back to sleep...
Go back to sleep [whispered]
....

One...two...three
Four...five...six
Seven...eight...nine
Nine...nine...nine
Ten...ten...ten...ten
[unexplainable noise]

disappear
disappear
higher
higher
into the air
slowly disappear
no, no longer here

disappear
disappear
thinner, thinner
into the air

never really here
what that never
like a thought brushing up against a sigh
floating away
floating away[repeated]

vanishing like a cyan sunday
disappear
disappear
vanish. vanish into the air
slowly disappear
never really here

Say Hello
to the rugs topography
it holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it
say hello
to the shrinking in your head
you can't see it but you'll know it's there
so don't neglect it

I'm taking her home with me
all dressed in white
she's got everything I need
pharmacy keys
she's falling hard for me
I can see it in her eys
she acts just like a nurse

Lost again
Broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live

I fell again
Like a baby unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go

So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
with heaven's help
You cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

Recall the deeds as if
They're all someone else's
Atrocious stories

Help me if you can
Adjust to this, it's not the way I'm wired
So could you please,

Help me understand why
You've given in to all these
Reckless dark desires

You're lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the faultline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this. Why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess. I don't want to watch you.

I didn't want to know
I just didn't want to know
Best to keep things in the shallow end
Cause I never quite learned how to swim
I just didn't want to know
Didn't want, didn't want,
Didn't want, didn't want

Close my eyes just to look at you
Taken by the seamless vision
I close my eyes,
Ignore the smoke,
Ignore the smoke

Call it aftermath, she's turning blue

Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole.
Driven to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along and leaves me

So desperate and ravenous
I'm so week and powerless
Over you.

Some one feed the monkey
While I dig in search of china.
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom.

So desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless
