All We Make Is Enemies
This is the dance of the empty promise. This is the sound of our breaking bones. This is the dream that we threw in the fire. We did it all for the failure of love. It was a dream. I fell up the stairs and through the window and back to where everything began. Are you alive? Or are you a ghost with an alien charm and the illusion of calm? But it was a dream. It was only a dream. If you’re unable to talk just try waving your arms and I’ll know what you mean. The things we threw away, they all came back again to reclaim their space and original names. You keep locking the door I keep walking in. You keep giving more, I never wanted it. You keep locking the door, I keep walking in. You were right. I couldn’t wait and you were waiting in vain. All this time, I couldn’t wait. You were waiting in vain. Stop talking to me. Don’t go.
The Pull (Morgan Greenwood Mix)
There’s a pull of will and a pull of love. We spin our heels until we’re stuck. We all want to be the one to rise above. We all want the things we want to be enough.
Ladders and Snakes
I took a vow of perpetual poverty. Now I’ve got everybody thinking something’s wrong with me. I took a vow of perpetual poverty. They’re saying ‘what were you thinking?’ I’m thinking something’s wrong with you. I counted five six seven-hundred ladders and snakes. You know the market value’s climbing. Baby, act your age. We’ve got prostitutes cleaning off their dinner plates. See baby, that’s what it comes to. So tell me, what are you going to do? Oh Love, don’t turn on the light. I’ve been losing this fight all my life. It’s a concrete building in the downtown core. We’ve got a cozy little carpet on the hardwood floor. You know this inner-city living can be such a chore, but you’re friends don’t come over cuz’ your neighbourhood is such a bore. I took a vow of perpetual poverty. Now I’ve got everybody thinking something’s wrong with me. I took a vow of perpetual poverty. They’re saying ‘what were you thinking?’ Well, I’m thinking something’s wrong with me. Oh Love, don’t turn on the light. We’ve got to keep it together. Just keep it together. Forever and ever. We’ve got to keep it together.

L’axis de la Conversation
(Hi). [Um, hi.]
Dizzy and Drunk With Love
I go for long walks alone (me and my headphones), strolling real slow, no particular place to go. I’m just unwinding my mind like slow-mo convoes. Me and my girl on the phone lost in translation like Sophia Co. I tell her I love her and hang up the telephone. The pressures of life, they got us down real low. Together forever? These things I don’t know. Check it out. Ooh…no. So with my minidisc and mini-mic I press ‘record’. Ambient street sounds, commit to tape now. And you can’t stop starting and it just don’t stop. And it can’t stop starting and it just don’t stop. It’s the excuse I use not to commit to you, instead I keep talking about the tapes in my head. You can’t stop starting and it just don’t stop. No, you can’t stop starting and it just don’t stop. The time and the place in your life what a waste cuz’ I lie to your face. I’m dizzy and drunk with love.
The Pull
There’s a pull of will and a pull of love. We spin our heels until we’re stuck. We all want to be the one to rise above. We all want the things we want to be enough. I don’t ask for much. Save your pennies cuz’ your dreams are about to come true. Just pray you never come to. We all want to be in love with what we want. We all want the things we want to be enough. I don’t ask for much. Just live by your heart and not the clock that winds you up. And I want love.
Homemade Hearts / Highway Arteries
There could have been a situation, but I was thinking on my feet. We just avoided a disaster, unless of course, I’m still asleep. And if I am, can you remember to wake me please? But if I’m not, I’ll say I’ll miss you all, but I’m glad I’m gone. You’ll never know how close I’ve come. You’ve got your mother’s milky skin and your father’s rotting teeth, and I love you like a childhood memory. I’ll miss you all, I’m glad I’m gone. You’ll never know how close I’ve come.
Parasite
These things I feel for you, they cut me up in pieces. When you told me of your guilty truth, I wished so badly I could hurt you. We lived inside each other. We lost ourselves and left our souls to burn. You were my angel, always overly inviting. Forgot everything we needed when I sewed my heart into your hands. The eyes of everyone told us we never had to give this up. You always had the gift of changing every colour in me. Cling to imaginary shadows just so they could throw me out in the rain to realize I’m just as breakable as you. I told myself I was your hero and you couldn’t be without me kissing your tears, making you new again. The eyes of everyone had no idea we were breaking down. Parasite good night parasite I’m tired. I’m tired, good night.](http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxxaehk9Gu1qzikuto1_500.jpg)
