(Verse 1) It didn't kill me, just made the world more absurd, It wanted to be a nightmare, became a parody of being, I kept on guarding my mind like a fortress, But turns out — it wasn't me who was seeing. (Chorus) The world got cleaner, clearer, simpler, In some ways dumber, clumsier, meaner, I won't say the whole world is absurd, But absurd, for sure, is my fortress and my arena. (Verse 2) It comes and fills the whole space, Don't think twice — you're out of this design, I won't speak while I'm unconscious, O State, And won't type unless the signs align. (Bridge) Don't look for meaning in what's going down, Your therapist hinted enough — let it be. Someone has lost, someone has found, And that sweet naïve couple next door — Bonnie and Clyde, you see. (Outro) Absurd... my fortress...

(Verse 1) Slippery walls of glass-box flats. The soft mold of the sofas. Tap. Tap. Steps behind. Who is it? Where is Mother? Mother? Where is Mother??? (Chorus) WAKE UP! IT'S A DREAM! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! (Verse 2) Black ghosts will kick the door down. And where is our film crew? Is it worth gazing the city lights? Do you love this city? Do you love this city? Do you love… Do you love… You adored... (Bridge) A dance of shadows and awakened hands, The carousels of staircases. Why do you never hide your eyes? There's nowhere… Look… Nowhere… No-where… (Outro) E-LEC-TRI-CI-TY... E-LEC-TRI-CI-TY...

(Verse 1) The morning's blurred... the paper's dry, A crowded room... a hollowed sky. I'm writing lines I'll never read, A different harvest, a different seed. The distance grows between the words, Like a migration... of the birds. I'm full of fire — Burns within. (Chorus) I'm full of fire — Burns within. But it was never... Meant for me. And those who reach... To take the flame... Can't hit the mark... Or speak the name. Five steps away, they miss the heart, They stand too close... but stay apart. (Bridge) Five steps. Five steps. The fire stays in. But I can't stay. (Outro) They step away apart, Eyes're going down. Five steps away, I'm full of fire... Burns within. Never... meant for me.

(Verse 1) Somethin' by god is comin' around, I'm feelin' caught in this no-name town. Diggin' for gold on this hollowed-out ground, Just a ghost in the static, a heart with a sound. They say "keep on movin'," they say "you'll be fine"... But I'm tired of drawin' a fadin' county line. (Chorus) Trust! Trust! Gospel and Glory! Trust! Survival's a weak brew — I need the explosion! Not a whisper, a conflagration! I'm sick of the secrets, I'm sick of the rust, I need trust! I need trust! And a hand that won't turn into dust. (Bridge) Like a flyer, so I am. One thin paper on the desk. Thing that matters is the rain. No oblivion, no pain. (Outro) Somethin' is comin' around... And it's us. And it's trust.

(Verse 1) Everything's Rot! I'm tripping up on... NOuGhh AT AL! Everything's Rot! A stray hair in my cup of... bwwheeer! (Chorus) Gungy rags and the glass and the glass! Gungy rags and the glass and the glass! (Verse 2) I caught a glowbo SHADE! Someone's stompin' in the clouds... bwwheee! I caught a glowbo SHADE! Waxy flickers in the rattle-trap frames! (Bridge) BAN ME! I'm stuck on the same! BAN ME! The buzz is cashed! BAN ME! PAYROLL IS SET! (Outro) Everything's opposite... Everything's Rot... Bwwheeer!

(Verse 1) Everything you loved — beneath the snow, beneath the snow Everything you wanted — beneath the snow, beneath the snow (Verse 2) It all came to you — beneath the snow, beneath the snow It all became yours — beneath the snow, beneath the snow Your beautiful home — beneath the snow, beneath the snow So light and pure — beneath the snow, beneath the snow (Verse 3) Holds all of your friends — beneath the snow, beneath the snow In rivers of wine — beneath the snow, beneath the snow With next to you there — beneath the snow, beneath the snow The one who loves you — beneath the snow, beneath the snow (Verse 4) And in the warm bedroom — beneath the snow, beneath the snow Your children are dreaming — beneath the snow, beneath the snow (Verse 5) Yes! This is heaven — beneath the snow, beneath the snow Real heaven — beneath the snow, beneath the snow True and real heaven — beneath the snow, beneath the snow

(Verse 1) She walks in beauty, like the night onto the balcony magical as verse bright flowers in her hands (Verse 2) Generous and wise yet sometimes in winter's depths she walks onto the balcony to feed the frozen dogs (Chorus) When she lies down to sleep When she lies down to sleep (Verse 3) Silence fades, unbright Stars turn gray among the clouds She flies in spring's circles among the frozen sparrows (Verse 4) Black fields fill her dreams She cries out higher than the stars (Verse 5) Love stands frozen at the window She walks onto the balcony to live eternal with her friends who came with bright flowers

(Verse 1) The tender Bullets — in the Head — The Loneliness — of mass Graves — The Void — the Plague — The Beauty — and the Snow — The tender Bullets — in the Head — (Verse 2) The Morse — that taps — and taps — The Minefields — without Hope — The Cities — built on Sand — Reflections — in the River — gone — (Verse 3) The Dead — defenseless — bare — The Sleep — that must — arrive — The Day — burns — and burns — The Fire — not of Earth — (Chorus) The tender Bullets — in the Head — The Morse — that taps — and taps — Return me — to the Void — I go — I will — Into the unmarked — Where even Pain — is still — (Outro) The tender Bullets — in the Head — Bullets

(Verse 1) The house. A squinting window. Yellow walls. Cobwebs in corners. The door. Is friendly opened. By the cold wind. Strike a light. Take a glass. But you are drinking the frost. It will NOT quench the thirst. The only star. Shines bright. Through the hole in the roof. (Bridge) What could be farther than these hoary snows, There past the borders of all that sleep knows? In the pale beaming of winter's cold light, Who wakes the dreamer from endless-est night? (Verse 2) The city of alien houses. Circles of flying snow. A ridge of white dunes. Streetlamps choked. Strangled by the drift. (Chorus) And who holds the key to the frost-locked doors, That swing with a wind from forgetful shores? To the city of loss. All its snow and the fro-zen grime. Un-draf-ted map To the flaw in the time. (Outro) What could lie farther… Beyond.

(Verse 1) It's already winter, And dappled hares aglow Like year-end night-lamps... You don't care, nor Do I Envy those who drink this air, And those who miss it there — From Bliss we drink the Air For Bliss we drink the Air Till Bliss we drink the Air Always… (Verse 2) It's already winter, And Dawn with Dusk — a single Stripe Of Dull Eternity, It's strange to recall That once we knew, but never understood The frigid sense of this hallowed night — (Verse 3) It's already winter, The sky over the white land Is warmed by bright, frost-prickling stars. And though I know, I trust That we are patterned true Within one design — From Bliss we drink the Air For Bliss we drink the Air Till Bliss we drink the Air Always…

[Verse 1] Lo, th'strife is done — D'ath is nay more, Naught but Life, ev'r-lasting et grim. Th'sun-shine is fierce — Un-lid your raw augen t'th'glare! [Verse 2] Nay grief abides, nay pain, nay tears, Nay loss, nay peace of th'grave. Er blinding, endless Sunny-Day — Er world of dazzling, merciless grace... [Chorus] Et recks nay man auf loneliness, For each es young et b'und in lust T'this endless Sunny-Day, T'this day without er end... Ev'rmore... [Outro] Ev'rmore... Nay d'ath... O'ly Life, ev'r-lasting... Ney door, ney sleep, ney end

(Verse 1) You'll live in me a long time. That doesn't scare me. You'll keep on thinking about me. I couldn't care less. I cannot sleep throughout the night — I keep on catching fire and ice. The sharp light. The giddy light. The blinding dark of the night city. (Verse 2) You'll cry for me all those nights long. I am not jealous. For our endless days and lights — find someone else. I cannot sleep throughout the night — I keep on catching fire and ice. The sharp light. The giddy light. The blinding dark of the night city.

(Verse 1) It's done, it's over, Summer's come and gone. Here comes all the new joy, Knocking at the gate. What's happened to you, bayeee? What have they done to you, hun? The crows came down and pecked away The laughter from your eyes. (Chorus) Only sunlight beats within the eyes, Only sunlight beats upon the cheeks, Only sunlight beats within the tears, Only sunlight keeps on beating in our hands. (Verse 2) How good it is, my bayee — The morning brought the frost. Deep inside the impaled forest, Someone's heads are crying out. Calling everyone to revel, While the buttercups are dying, And the beige branches Are damp and dark, bae. (Chorus) Only sunlight beats within the branches. Only sunlight beats upon the wet branches. Only sunlight beats within the yellow leaves. Only sunlight keeps on beating in our hands.
