Normal 02:31
A demon crawling from inside The lungs are done, the heart is dry I pulled the wool over your eyes Just so you couldn’t recognize that I’ll never be wasted, wasted What’s there to waste I’ll never be thirsty thirsty Since I never got a taste My bones are cracking While yours are still and safe Why can’t I Just be normal, just be fine We’ve been screaming since the christening Why do we fight if no one’s listening We watch the flames engulf the house We hear their screams Their cries for help I’ll never be wasted, wasted What’s there to waste I’ll never be thirsty Since I never got a taste My bones are cracking While yours are still and safe Why can’t I Just be normal, just be fine I, I can’t be normal I, I won’t be normal

Come on, just accept me The sensibility of it’s so sweet I know you wanna let me in I know you want to take a peek Take a look under my skin I want to show you what I’ve become And what I’ve been I want to show you how to love another And then at the end, baby We can turn into each other But just for the day (x4) So you like to condescend, I heard Well that’s funny ‘cause I don’t like to listen So you like to pretend, I heard Well good ‘cause darling that’s a given Take a look under my skin I want to show you what I’ve become And what I’ve been I want to show how to love another And then at the end, baby We can turn into each other But just for the day (x4) Some say that it’s like traveling Down my rocky spine Some sat that it’s a revelation Traveling this body of mine Take a look under my skin I want to show you what I’ve become And what I’ve been I want to show you how to love another And then at the end, baby We can just turn into each other But just for the day (x4)

Oh Honey 03:16
Dirty hands, and dirty feet She grasps for me with her dirty hands She pleads and she receives All the pain that she constantly demands So I gave her the gun Thinking she’s gonna leave the room But no, she wants me to watch her scream So I just close my eyes ‘Cause isn’t that the same as not listening So I just take an eye for an eye And think, why didn’t I listen to my mother’s lies? Oh honey, honey you’ll be ok If you just turn your cheek and look the other way Oh honey honey you’ll be ok If you just turn your cheek and look the other way I think what am I doing with my soul I think do I have too much control I think That I think too much So I look at the wilted flowers on my desk And think, “wouldn’t they be prettier if they weren’t dead?” So I just take an eye for an eye And think why didn’t I listen to my mother’s lies? Oh honey, honey If you just turn your cheek and look the other way Oh honey, honey You’ll be OK If you just turn your cheek and look the other way So I just take an eye for an eye And think why didn’t I listen to my mother’s lies? Oh honey, honey If you just turn your cheek and look the other way Oh honey, honey You’ll be OK Everyone is doomed to die Someday

Earthbound 03:39
Am I in a rut Or are you just willing to move Darling have I put you in a cage So you’re just focused on getting loose The people are watching So you better smile My love is like molasses It’s sweet but it’s gonna take a while My mouth is stitched up I can’t make a sound My hands are tied up to the sky But darling you’re earthbound, so earthbound You interweave But I intertwine Darling what’s the point of living If you’re living lie? You ask me to take the driftwood and make you bleed But darling if you do not spill blood What do you really leave My mouth is stitched up I can’t make a sound My hands are tied up to the sky But darling you’re earthbound, so earthbound My mouth is stitched up I can’t make a sound My hands are tied up to the sky My hands are tied up to the sky My hands are tied up to the sky But darling you’re earthbound, so earthbound

Just Kids 03:04
Take me for a ride In your silver blazing car Make me feel alright With no troubles in the world Take me in the night And then, maybe I can fight the fright And trust you completely But then one day You stepped out of my world And then one day You stepped into the whirlwind But then one day You crossed the bridge And then one day You didn’t love me Like you did You threw me out your life Put me on the curb Made me feel so alone Just like a homeless bird We were just friends Nothing more Guess it’s cuz you Didn’t feel the same as before But then one day You stepped out of my world And then one day You stepped into the whirlwind But then one day You crossed the bridge And then one day You didn’t love me Like you did Oooh oh oh,Baby bombs dropping blue We were just kids

Exchange 02:58
Fold me up Put me in your pocket I know love doesn’t rest easy on your chest But if you give me the key I could unlock it This is my exchange So my heart won’t break Oh this is my exchange So my heart won’t break Oh this is my exchange So my heart won’t break Oh this is my exchange The weavings in the rug Have lost their color They’re starting to resemble me And in the mirror these days I see my mother I wonder if she’s proud This is my exchange So my heart won’t break Oh this is my exchange So my heart won’t break Oh this is my exchange So my heart won’t break Oh this is my exchange The church’s eyes Are looking at me Looking at me Their faces a mix of pride and disdain I feel my mother’s eyes Looking at me Looking at me Their color a mix of beauty and pain This is my exchange So my heart won’t break Oh this is my exchange So my heart won’t break Oh this is my exchange So my heart won’t break Oh this is my exchange Red lips And a blue window pane Darling they’re beautiful, so beautiful But they’re no replica for rain

Crooked Man 02:39
The crooked man sat upon his throne Sure the view is pretty But what’s a view When you see it alone He stumbled through life With no sheath, no sheathing On his crooked knife ‘Cause somewhere on his crooked path He decided to crookedly stab Anyone he could find Who was full of light ‘Cause to those with no light at all Light is a blinding fall With no promise of landing So one day as he crookedly reached for the door He saw my tiny body And he saw more light Being breathed in than ever before So somewhere in his crooked mind He found, he found the crooked right To steal my light And he replaced it with what he could find A bee sting, a paper cut, his mother’s eyes How could he have known it would hurt Every time I was touched And how could he have known That the light wouldn’t sit right On his crooked soul I never wanted him to go So now, I’m crooked too Yes, I’m crooked too But I’ve found the beauty In what my crookedness can do

Masquerade 03:31
You were my savior But you clipped your wings back Just to save face You were my lover And you came as you were to me And that’s OK You were my puppet on a string I could make do almost anything But to me, darling, you were the masquerade The ball, the band And the pretty little girls singing Ooh oooh (x2) I used to say that I was Sick of my skin But now I’m realizing It’s not the skin, it’s the veins And you may find That we are quite different But if you look under the pigment It’s all the same You were my skin and bones When you weren’t around Baby I didn’t feel safe ‘Cause we’d go drinking out At the bar alone And you would end up crying And all the drunkards would end up singing Ooh oooh (x2) So in the middle of the night I stripped you of your skin ‘Cause lately baby that’s the only thing That I feel comfortable in I left the haven That kept me safe ‘Cause what’s the point of staying If all I do is give and all you do is take Maybe on day we will meet again And you will still love me But darling I just won’t feel the same You’ll still steal me away From the world And the only thing I will be able to do Is sing Ooh oooh
9.
Blow Away 03:21
I’m sick of my skin The thickness, the depth All of it I’m fading away I’m an outsider looking in Watching other people light up from within My door’s still closed The lake I stole away with you Is gone through and through Through and through I’m through Loving you was my demise But the love was the truth And I was the lie The hunt had begun before I could see And I heard my shot before the shot heard me Blow away, blow away Blow away, blow away, blow away Lonely stars is all I see Within, without you Without me The dust covered box is painted in red For what I don’t know They never said This mirage of madness Inside my head I’ve become afraid of I don’t care what’s left Of the broken door Loving you was my demise But the love was the truth And I was the lie The hunt had begun before I could see And I heard my shot before the shot heard me Blow away, blow away Blow away, blow away, blow away Blow away, blow away, blow away Blow away, blow away, blow away

Lucille 01:47
I am made of flesh, blood and bone And I know one day that I’ll be rotting and alone But for now, let me lay by the lake with you I’m gonna make my mistakes And I’m gonna learn from them too Got to teach you, got to teach you, Got to teach you the art Of learning not to bleed When you’re pulled apart But for now you’re here and you’re meant to heal So love me when no one’s watching My darling Lucille Caught you breathing, caught you breathing Caught you breathing again So you crept in my skin and you played pretend I was your puppet of hollow bone But finally I was alive, and I wasn’t alone Oh I am made of flesh, blood and bone And I know one day that I’ll be rotting and alone But for now, let me lay by the lake with you I’m gonna make my mistakes And I’m gonna learn from them too Got to teach you, got to teach you, got to teach you the art Of learning not to bleed When you’re pulled apart But for now you’re here, and you’re meant to heal So love me when no one’s watching My darling Lucille One day I found out your heart was mine to keep But your eyes were dry And your veins wouldn’t bleed I guess I’m meant to live alone But darling you were so lovely And you were so young You were made of flesh, blood and bone And you knew one day That you’d be rotting and alone So for then you let me lay By the lake with you You made your mistakes And you learned from them too You taught me, you taught me, you taught me the art Of learning to find love When you’re pulled apart But for then you were there and you were meant to heal You loved me while no one watched My darling Lucille

Lullaby 01:59
Wipe away your tears The cage has been unlocked Forget your tears The masses have already lost This is my lullaby Made up of child’s cries in the night For fear of goodbye For fear of losing that light You close the door Not to keep things in, You don’t do that anymore You let the blood seep For yourself Not for me This is my lullaby Made up of child’s cries in the night For fear of goodbye Fear of losing that light
