Electric light hinders my view of outside, The tele-trees alive with wires as much as I Why don’t I dream? A silent yield We’re no-one, we know we’re sprung from someone else’s mind, Our hearts beat, like small machines. We’re no-one, we know we’re, just an inside job, what fiends or gods have they created? It’s 6.15 and I lay the clothes out, In every room I hear the same expressions. I’m one year old but I have seen a thousand lives, They’re all the same no matter what they look like Why don’t I dream? A silent yield We’re no-one, we know we’re sprung from someone else’s mind, Our hearts beat, like small machines. We’re no-one, we know we’re, just an inside job, what fiends or gods have they created? We’re no-one, we know we’re sprung from someone else’s mind, Our hearts beat, like small machines. We’re no-one, we know we’re, just an inside job, what fiends or gods have they created? What fiends or gods have they created? We all stay here for that we’re fated.

Snapshot 02:30
You’re a snapshot on my screen Make me over to fit in your dream I am boring, I am mean, But with you, I see. Fill my days with photos of you Hope your glass recedes like you do I’ll collect things you’ve left behind When you erase your mind You’re the gold on the rim of my cup in the morning I wake up and can’t hear the world You can sing songs so old that the meaning’s confused And I’ll wait to see the pieces of you Do you miss me when you’re alone? Making pictures of worlds I can’t know Take the scaffold from your mind Write it down, freeze it in time. I can always have that part Of your frozen heart. You’re the gold on the rim of my cup in the morning I wake up and can’t hear the world You can sing songs so old that the meaning’s confused And I’ll wait to see the pieces of you I will wait for pieces of I will wait for

Phone Call 03:44
Truth is a faltering wind, Lies keep you warm. Truth is an untamed dog, And you are the wolf Truth is a faltering wind, Lies keep you warm Truth is a midnight flame, And you are the moth All the light in all the world won’t bring you back again, So follow me and forsake all your friends All the dirt in all the world won’t bury you again, So follow me and forsake all your friends, So follow, So follow So follow me and forsake all your friends Follow me and forsake all your friends.

Strange Love 03:44
Strange love Meet me in the dark, Fear love, a strange and shallow heart, Draw it closer, ask it questions, keep them safe and pull away Can you keep it, after dark fall, I'm inclined to. I can hear myself in your voice, changing mine too. You're a fat book, with skinny binding, a black look with shiny lighting. You're a tall wall without a shelter, a small world that makes me better. Hold on love until the morning when I'll help you to escape, The war inside you rages like a tiny child who's told to stay, oh stay. Can you keep it, after dark fall, I'm inclined to. I can hear myself in your voice, changing mine too. Changing mine too.

Job for You 02:15
Give me your love for now, Leave out the rest and don’t Hurt me with everything That I need to know Don’t think about it, You’ll cloud all around it, Give way to the good part and Scatter what’s left Like a rift, between 2 souls, just becoming old Out in the low light If I’m gone, the horizon will show, A growing spot of blue, Before, and each after you Tell me it’s alright, Even if you don’t think so I’ll stay in the meantime And believe what you say Like a web in the mirror Of a trip long forgotten I’ll try to get nearer But don’t have the words Build me up, Don’t make me wait, For what I don’t want, It’s coming ‘cause you make it, If it’s time, the cure will be soon, And even if it’s not, I’m not a job for you
