Weird Luck 02:42
I don’t know all the things you’ve seen Underneath unfolding swells of green You can pick the lock if you don’t have the key But some things you’re better off not knowing You’ve got weird luck You’ve got weird luck In time you’ll know it well You got strange charms, you've got that going The hourglass knows it comes down to timing Excavating facts to see who’s been lying Carving out a tunnel for the new age of mining You’ve got weird luck You’ve got weird luck In time you’ll know it well

What you say is what you want to say, Talk that way, you’ll start a fight about it It’s ok, even diamonds fade, you can’t last all day in the hottest weather, Or take the pressure You’ve been making rounds, you’ve been making rounds, And running your mouth all night, but I know That it’s all been spent It’s all been spent Through the days, you’re gonna lose your way, let it fall apart and put it back together It’s ok, even diamonds fade, you can’t last all day in the hottest weather, Or take the pressure You’ve been making rounds, you’ve been making rounds, And running your mouth all night, but I know That it’s all been spent It’s all been spent

RPG 03:27
Haste take over me, Until I'm fever stricken, down and darkened Stare blank at the screen Until I'm somewhere else, alone and watching All the iron beams across the faded sea Islands of debris, come up from underneath What I know is what I see It's gleaming out of reach What I know is what I see It's gleaming out of reach Years get colder, clean and sterile now All my instincts, folded over now Cure take over me, Until I'm spacey-headed, speaking lightly Sink into the screen Until I'm somewhere lost inside the scene of All the iron beams across the faded sea Islands of debris, come up from underneath What I know is what I see It's gleaming out of reach What I know is what I see I'm digging deeper underneath Years get colder, clean and sterile now All my instincts, folded over now

You can’t see what passes through you Full of noise and abstract speed Spark light glows and cuts right through you But you resign to sleep You’ll never know You’ll never know You’ll never know You’re blind to me Modern nature can’t control you Convenience gives you all you need But all your sight could never focus The thrill of abstract speed You’ll never know You’ll never know You’ll never know You’re blind to me
5.
Strange Obsession All I want is through Strange Obsession Everyone knows it's true I know it's far from heaven I know it's far from heaven Strange Obsession As I'm passing through Strange Obsession Singular point of view I know it's far from heaven I know it's far from heaven But you don't know why You called me out tonight We'll never know as long as we're alive

Woozy 02:48
After all is said and done the light is in my eyes Turn to blink and closing in, I see through the disguise Hanging round the same old haunt until I’m going blind Drive me madly through the wall until the stars unwind Woozy when I’m standing here and colder than the snow Frozen lake becomes a mirror with sharp metallic glow Things I’d never see again revealed themselves to me What’s over must go under again returning to the sea
7.
Darkling 02:53
I don’t know what you are doing here It’s hard to ignore your vision sharp and clear I don’t know why you’re digging Down here down here, darkling down here What you want is what you’re getting Dragging out the same old mine What you want is what you’ll get I’m dry I’m dry I don’t know what you are doing here It’s hard to ignore the stranger things you hear I don’t know why you’re digging Down here, down here, darkling, down here now What you want is what you’re getting Dragging out the same old mine What you want is what you’ll get I’m dry I’m dry

Aerosol 02:44
Feeling nervous, feeling nervous floating closer to the surface silver water, silver water, stretching out for miles Everything you know's uncertain details slip behind the curtain silver water, silver water, stretching out for miles Run dry, run dry, until it drains out Unwind, unwind, unraveling down Run dry, run dry, until it drains out I'm melting down into different shapes Feeling nervous, feeling nervous floating closer to the surface silver water, silver water, stretching out for miles Overheat, repeat in circles drifting in a darkened pool silver water, silver water silver water, silver water, stretching out for miles Run dry, run dry, until it drains out Unwind, unwind, unraveling down Run dry, run dry, until it drains out I'm melting down into different shapes

Interlude 00:59
10.
All my life I've been holding out Trying to stay away from this same house My mind is tangled up and bound Can't stay away from this same house It's what I'm coming to It's what I'm coming to 22 and I'm wasted again I try to keep myself sane I try to keep myself sane It's hard not to change All my life I've been holding out Trying to stay away from this same house My mind is tangled up and bound Can't stay away from this same house I try to stave it off I try to sleep it off But I'm up all night Wanna forget my name Wanna forget my name But it's too late Run round circles putting miles down All caught up in Games we'll play Games we'll play today All my life I've been holding out Trying to stay away from this same house My mind is tangled up and bound Can't stay away from this same house

Parasol Life 03:15
Suck a lemon until its running dry Nothing bitter can unwind your watercolor world You’ve mapped it all out, there’s nothing left to try I’ve been under for a spell But now I know this well That it’s not hard to tell That you are safe for now In the parasol life Keep a record of all the things you’ve done You’ll write it in a tome Keep it hidden and alive Draw up the plans so nothing’s left to chance I’ve been under for a spell But now I know this well That it’s not hard to tell That you are safe for now, tonight In the parasol life
12.
It's hard to speak the words will leak make no sense to me It's hard to see what's underneath in the dark we'll read We're moving past the veil but everything behind you leaves a trail  We're moving past the veil but everything in motion goes astray You're changing scenes to let it freeze to avoid the heat It lies asleep til it's woken up by our careless feet We're moving past the veil but everything behind you leaves a trail  We're moving past the veil but everything in motion goes astray
13.
Received a chain letter read the signs came upon them like a moth to light I will not answer instead I'll stay and rest upon the swells of gray Stand still in the shallows come here where the sun lies bare Through dark water the lighthouse glistens the fog and weeds oh how they thicken The gates that lead me iron and still to sirens singing voices shrill Stand still in the shallows come here where the sun lies bare
14.
Round and round and round and round The murky water underground Buried in the silent sea And boiling up into the green In time, In time, In time, it all makes sense to me All we know is overgrown in time All we know is overgrown in time All we know is overgrown, Buried deeper underground You call me out to the windowsill Round and round and round and round Hiding deep until it's found Winding up the staircase now, the vertigo from staring down, In time, In time, In time, it all makes sense to me All we know is overgrown in time All we know is overgrown in time All we know is overgrown, Buried deeper underground You call me out to the windowsill
