Almost Like Flying
00:45
|
|||
|
I already know how this will end
Kinda strange, considering I haven’t even met you yet
Embracing, in the moon light, at the far end of the pier
Just like in that old dream you had
Resting, under the boardwalk, waiting for the sun to come up
It will all be worth it
It’s what we’ve both been aching for
The steepest of climbs followed by the freest of falls
Almost like flying

The Beginning
00:35
|
|||
|
And there you are
Your limb body on the ground
It looks so out of place amidst all this idyllic greenery
How did you manage to collapse all the way out here?
Did you seriously lay down and die here in my forest?
No… No, I can see that you’re still breathing
Better get you on your feet
This could be the beginning
|

Awake
00:35
|
|||
|
Just rest
Let the herbs do their magic
Just sleep
Let the night embrace you
Just dream
Let the music calm you
I see you
You’re awake
I feel it too
|
||||
4. |
Wounds
00:41
|
|||
|
I feel my wounds are healing
My barrier is about to collapse
I feel safe with you, so safe
Hopefully you feel the same
Did you just tell me everything?
I was meant to find you
Will I now tell you everything?
You were meant to heal me
|
||||
5. |
Let On
00:36
|
|||
|
You look so cute when you’re bashful
Don’t think I can’t tell
You’re enjoying me
Have I ever felt this way?
Don’t think I’m not enjoying you
If you won’t let on, neither will I
But why though?
What’s left to hide?
|
||||
6. |
Here for a Reason
00:53
|
|||
|
Should I have just left him out there?
This is entirely too good to be true
It has to be, it just has to
It is all just one big coincidence
There is no meaning to any of this
Was it a good idea bringing him here?
Except now you look different
You’re not afraid
Suddenly your eyes look different
You’re not ashamed
You are here for a reason
This is exactly what we were waiting for
|
||||

Near the Sea
00:51
|
|||
|
So… What in the fuck happened there?
I came, and you came, and then the roof was just, like, gone
Oh well, I guess that sort of thing just happens sometimes?
Anyway, we can’t stay here, that’s pretty obvious
You know what they say about a cabin with no roof
Maybe it’s finally time to find a place near the sea?
I would love that. I would love that very much indeed
|

Chained
00:39
|
|||
|
What is that sound?
It peaked, it broke, and it fizzled out
What is that light?
We are being held down, chained to the bed
What is that smell?
Our eyes are red, and the sheets are soaked
|
||||
9. |
Purge
00:31
|
|||
|
Okay, I see how it works
That’s what happened in the woods
This is how we move on
That’s what happened on the beach
A complete purge, a clean slate
Please, please, please
Let us be on the right track
|
||||
10. |
Chokey
01:03
|
|||
|
My bruises aren’t as visible as they once were
Sexy-time isn’t as sexy as I dreamt it would be
Our blood doesn’t boil as hard as it once did
Your chokehold isn’t as chokey as I wish it were
Oh, how I wish you’d hurt me, badly, one last time
I would hurt you back tenfold, with a vengeance, I promise
Let us drink to the monster, let’s snort and inject for the monster
I answer the phone and hear my own voice at the other end
It’s telling us to go places, places one should never visit
Go get your coat, baby, we’re leaving
|

Black Liquid
00:56
|
|||
|
The electricity is surging through my veins
The sunshine is scorching my retinas
Was this how you felt when I found you?
I still feel the black liquid on my skin
My knees feel like two giant sores
The ringing in my ears won’t go away
He seemed to have complete control
Not only over you and me, but them too
I have no idea how we got out in time
Run, flee, bolt, escape, dodge and sprint
Forever and ever and ever and ever
|
||||
12. |
Writhing
00:50
|
|||
|
This plane will take off and carry us home
At least, I hope it’s home, I really do
Imagine a life of constant searching
Of never feeling like you belong anywhere
Where the beast inside you never rests.
We are too good for those phony snakes
They can keep writhing, we won’t miss them
Let’s just leave now and never look back
Let’s fall and fail and die on our own terms
|
||||

The Gift
00:50
|
|||
|
I know, I know, it sounds ridiculous
It wasn’t the drugs, fuck no. It was real
God was right there in front of us
I thought such things only happened in movies
I can’t believe we actually got to experience that
Our gift is God, it’s so simple, yet so true
We are God, and we have an obligation now
The biggest, most important obligation of all time
I feel the incredible weight of this gift on my shoulders
Yet I feel more alive than ever
|
||||
14. |
Float Away
00:57
|
|||
|
Where have you gone to?
I can feel it moving inside, more restless than ever
Do we even speak the same language anymore?
We are alone in each other’s company
If we’re both equally guilty, then we can’t we talk about it?
I just want to float away. Looks like you do too
Is this what success is supposed to be like?
In that case, I’m not sure I want any part in it
|
||||
15. |
Just Animals
00:46
|
|||
|
Animals
I guess we’re just animals
Or puppets
With an invisible hand leading us
Stop looking for excuses, you idiot
Stop blaming everyone else
Last night sealed the deal
We’re both too far gone
No self-control, no dignity
Just god-awful depravity
But why does it feel so good?
We both know what we have to do
Yet we keep doing the opposite
There really is no hope, is there?
|

Tonight I Am Dreaming
01:14
|
|||
|
Tonight, I am dreaming
I’m back in my bed, in my childhood home
The floor creaks
I can hear him outside
His heavy breathing
His breath smells like death
His stubble irritates my skin
A gigantic flash of light
Another time in another place
They have me cornered
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Everyone is laughing but me
I kick and scream
One of them drops to the ground
Like a sack of potatoes
Everyone I have ever let down form a circle around me
They speak in soft voices and take turns touching my face
Nothing will ever be the same again
|

This Silly Dance
00:57
|
|||
|
I know I’m not worth it
I also know you’re not worth it
So, what are we even talking about here?
Why do we keep dancing this silly dance?
The night the phone rang, you could’ve told me no
You realize that, right?
But you wanted it just as bad as I did
Only difference is, you get to play the hero
And I’m just the lost-cause-drugged-out whore, right?
I should’ve just left you there on the ground
That feeling wasn’t a beacon… It was a warning
|
||||
18. |
End
00:33
|
|||
|
I want it to end
Just like in that dream you told me about
That night in the cabin
I think we can make it to the beach before sunrise
But we need to leave now
When we finally let go
I bet it will almost feel like flying
