I dreamt about your body
You were bleeding
I was sorry
I thought for once I'd be right for you
But after all, the same words ring true
In this dream I'm weightless
I don't take up space
Completely painless
I thought for once I'd be right for you
Wondering where you are - whether it's also morning for you
My grip is stronger than you'd think
Cause after all, this isn't a dream
My heart beats slower than you'd think
Cause after all, this isn't a dream
I saw your face in a Rothko painting
I read you poems from Watanabe denim
I still dream about your body
I still dream about your body
My grip is stronger than you'd think
Cause after all, this isn't a dream
My heart beats slower than you'd think
Cause after all, this isn't a dream
I saw your face in a Rothko painting
I read you poems from Watanabe denim

Marathon
04:00
|

In another time
I'm winning the marathon of life
The prologue ends now
A fern green 959
Oh, is it time?
My love, what's my time?
I see the finish line
And yet somehow,
My speed drops
Was it because I looked back?
Was it because I thought of the delta?
I thought of us in the past
Do you also look back?
Does it also slow you down?
Do you get it now?
Do you get it now?
Sebastian, do you get it now?
Sebastian, my love, do you get it now?
The marathon of life
Seems unwinnable now
The finish line is unachievable now
I might have the car
It's unachievable now
I might have the car
It's unachievable now
I might have the car
It's unachievable now
I might have the car

Sincerely Yours,
04:02
|

This is a song about you
It's just like every song before
This time though it's different - is it not?
We both have our feet out the door
Do we leave to have fun or to somehow end it for once and for all?
This is a song about you
It's just like every song before
And even if it's not about you
I'll make it yours most of all
And if it's truly the last time
I'm always sincerely yours
I've got friends in Rome, in Amsterdam - they've all told me to let go
But I've been sick so long - I can't imagine getting better at all
This is a song about you
It's just like every song before
And even if it's not about you
I'll make it yours most of all
And if it's truly the last time
I'm always sincerely yours
And even if it's not about you
I'll make it yours most of all
And if it's truly the last time
I'm always sincerely yours
Always sincerely yours
Always sincerely yours
Always sincerely yours
Always sincerely yours
Always sincerely yours

I build this wall
To prove to you all
There's no point in getting physical
How do you see me?
Why do you see me?
How do I stop you from seeing me?
And when you say my name it doesn't sound quite right
It just echoes across the hallway
I'm waiting for it to die down
Oh, what a loss
Oh, what a loss
Oh, what a loss
Oh, what a loss
Oh, what a loss
Oh, what a loss
Here I am - I'm at that point
I'm at that point again
I'm at that point again
Here we are - we're at that point
We're at that point again
We're at that point again
And when you say my name it doesn't sound quite right
It just echoes across the hallway
I'm waiting for it to die down
Oh, what a loss
Oh, what a loss
Oh, what a loss
Oh, what a loss
Oh, what a loss
Oh, what a loss
Here I am - I'm at that point
I'm at that point again
I'm at that point again
Here we are - we're at that point
We're at that point again
We're at that point again
Here I am - I'm at that point
I'm at that point again
I'm at that point again
Here we are - we're at that point
We're at that point again
We're at that point again
Here I am - I'm at that point
I'm at that point again
I'm at that point again
Here we are - we're at that point
We're at that point again
We're at that point again

Dragon, I Love You
04:30
|
|||
Someone’s washing their windows up high
I peek out the water hits my scalp
This right here is the price
This right here is the price
A tough result
A problem with the car
I don’t hear much from you
I’m sure I said enough
This right here is the price
This right here is the price
Dragon, I love you
I don’t hear much,
Hear much from you now
Dragon, I love you
You’re a very, very,
Very busy man
Out in the driveway
I sleep in the car
And I set an alarm
To wake up,
To watch you dim the lights
Broken back -
- I’m sure I said enough
This right here is the price
This right here is the price
Dragon, I love you
I don’t hear much,
Hear much from you now
Dragon, I love you
You’re a very, very,
Very busy man
Out in the driveway
I sleep in the car
And I set an alarm
To wake up,
To watch you dim the lights
Broken back -
- I’m sure I said enough
This right here is the price
This right here is the price

I peer through a window to sneak in a glimpse
A contorted beast looking back at me
I try to count my fingers
I try to tell the time
But nothing adds up
The letter read as:
"Everything I do -
- I do for you!
I swear it's true!"
I can't find me in the mirror
God, is it true?
- "I think it's true"
My fingers turn to claws
My voice a throbbing howl
I look out the window
But this time i see
Past me, binoculars, new me
I think I'm not the person you've met
Sometime ago
The new me -
- My embrace pokes holes
"Everything I do -
- I do for you!
I swear it's true!"
(I do for you!)
I can't find me in the mirror
(I do for you!)
God, is it true?
- "I think it's true"
My claws turn to dust
My howl a comforting voice
This time,
This time
"Everything I do -
- I do for you!
I swear it's true!"
(I do for you!)
I can't find me in the mirror
(I do for you!)
God, is it true?
- "I think it's true"
My fingers turn to claws
My voice a throbbing howl
This time,
This time

Unsaid
03:57
|

I thought I would cry, but I didn’t
I said I did, but I didn’t
A peak and a fall
A major drop
No extra details – that’s all I know
Something’s scheduled and then it’s cancelled
Something’s said and then unsaid
Someone’s here and they’re not here
(They were never here at all)
I’m beginning to doubt what I just wrote
I don’t (don’t) want my words to say too much
It’s now the third month without any sedatives
And I spent all my money on shit I don’t really need
You’re going away again
You’re going away again
Something’s scheduled and then it’s cancelled
Something’s said and then unsaid
Someone’s here and they’re not here
I’m beginning to doubt what I just wrote
I don’t (don’t) want this to say too (this) much

Lion Dream

I heard this song in a dream
But now that I'm playing it - it feels as though it's in the wrong key
Oh please, rate my music!
Oh please, tell me what it means!
Try to describe how it makes you feel -
- Crystallize the obscene
I really want to hear it!
The way I see it -
- A giant cat tearing my face right off -
- Off screen
If this goes on and on
And on and on
Like it always does
I might just leave it all
Disgustingly direct
No time for metaphors
Always calm, soothing, and soft
I might just save me from me
I'm not delusional
I'm not delusional
I'm not delusional
I'm not delusional
I'm not delusional
If this goes on and on
And on and on
Like it always does
I might just leave it all
Disgustingly direct
No time for metaphors
Always calm, soothing, and soft
I might just save me from me

Sooner or Later
05:28
|
|||
Every time you drive your car
I think about
What I’d say to the cops
If they found somewhere crashed
Every time when we’re at your parents’ house
I think about
What I’d say to the cops
If they found us in each other’s arms
And even, where we usually are
The situation is equally hard
We spend these august nights
Figuring out what we’d say when stopped
I now feel
Sooner or later
And please, baby, take this with a grain of salt
I honestly feel as if one of us were to suddenly go
Soon enough
Every time I wake up
I check whether you’re still around
And if everything’s fine
I go back to the sunny down snuff
I now feel
Sooner or later
And please, baby, take this with a grain of salt
I honestly feel as if one of us were to suddenly go
I now feel
Sooner or later
And please, baby, take this with a grain of salt
I honestly feel as if one of us were to suddenly go

Words
05:16
|

Every night before bed I make sure to put dirt in my wounds
Some things don’t quite gel well
I’m too scared to sleep in the same bed as you
Words seem to come – words seem to go
Words seem to come (to come) – words seem to go
What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
My friends don’t know how to react – I’m on the brink again of trying to be open
Well, it’s not your fault you’re in my way – I’ll just remove myself
You’re on the same bus again, again
The man I better not mention – he lives next stop; he lives next stop
Why did I write this song?
Will he target me the way he did before?
Words they seem to come, and then they seem to go
Words they seem to come then they seem to go
Why did I write this song?
Will he target me the way he did before?
Will I have to get a new phone number again?
Will I have to stay at my parents' house again?
What do I know?
What do I really know?
What the hell do I know?
And what do I know?
And what do I really know?
And what the hell do I know?

The Trauma Echoes
04:31
|

Data-driven analytics
Led me to believe
Led me to believe
Pain-driven analytics
Led me to believe
Led me to believe
That the trauma echoes
That the trauma, trauma echoes
That the trauma echoes
That the trauma, trauma echoes
Find me in a junk space
In-between
I'm spread thin
Through liminal time
Private correspondence
Information
Spread thin
I'm spread thin
That the trauma echoes
That the trauma, trauma echoes
That the trauma echoes
That the trauma, trauma echoes
Computer generated
Fully automated
Pattern seeking
Following the pattern
Phaser-flanger
Brute compression
I'm spread thin -
- You're spread thin
That the trauma echoes
(Lower libido, higher libido)
That the trauma, trauma echoes
(The ebb and flow, the ebb and flow)
That the trauma echoes
(Lower libido, higher libido)
That the trauma, trauma echoes
(The ebb and flow, the ebb and flow)
That the trauma echoes
(Lower libido, higher libido)
That the trauma, trauma echoes
(The ebb and flow, the ebb and flow)
That the trauma echoes
(Lower libido, higher libido)
That the trauma, trauma echoes
(The ebb and flow, the ebb and flow)

In the Red
02:24
|

The darkness fades,
But the knowledge remains
The price doesn't change
I'm looking at you again
And in your subtle way
You show me
And in your subtle way
You show me that
I love to lose
You know me
We love to lose
You show me that
That fact
The fact
That fact
The fact
Oh no, we're in the red
Looks like we're in the red again
My love we're in the red again
Looks like we're in the red, red, red, red again

The Door
05:12
|

Two feet of standing water
Caught me off guard
This late summer morning
I now have even more trouble
Opening the door
Going out to work
No matter what I say or sing my expression doesn't change
A permanent drugged out blank stare carved into 20-year-old flesh
And people that I honestly hate have probably forgotten about me
And what they did
And what they did
And what they did still lingers
And what happened - happened
And I don't want this song to say too much
Don't want it to say anything important
Cause my art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
And what they did still lingers
And what happened - happened
And I don't want this song to say too much
Don't want it to say anything important
Cause my art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
Cause my art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
Whatever happens don't forget what they did
My art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
My art can only hurt
