i guess you could call it mine
i'll have no use for it in time
because my friend, it's only temporary
i'll have no use for it in time
you, you are all across the waves
you, you are all across the waves
i guess you could call it mine
we'll have no use for it in time
because my friend, it's only temporary
we'll have no use for it in time
you, you are all across the waves
you, you are all across the waves
you, you are all across the waves
you, you are all across the waves
you, you... (are all across the waves)

evil twin
kept him in
translucent
would you stay if i said how much
would you stay if we kept in touch
would you stay if it's never enough
you should know
they're gonna try to push you
and even if they make it seem surrounding
they're gonna try to push you around
evil twin
this just in
good won't win
would you stay if i said how much
would you stay if we kept in touch
would you stay if it's never enough
you should know
they're gonna try to push you
and even if they make it seem surrounding
they're gonna try to push you around
they're gonna try to push you around
they're gonna try to push you around
they're gonna try
they're gonna try to push you around

when no one wants you, no one's there
there's a voice inside that leaves you
when you snap at me, and no one's there
you're the last to know and first to share
all your favorite words
at the pendulum's curve
when no one wants you, you declare
your favorite word becomes the absent glare
when you snap at me, and no one's there
you're the last to know and first to share
all your favorite words
at the pendulum's curve
all your favorite words
construct your negative turns
when no one wants you, no one's there
there's a voice inside that leaves you
when you snap at me, and no one's there
you're the last to know and first to share
all of your favorite words
at the pendulum's curve
all your favorite words
construct your negative turns
keep saying no
keep saying no
keep saying no
keep saying no
keep saying no
keep saying no
keep saying no
keep saying no
keep saying no
keep saying no
keep saying no
keep saying no

Shapeless & Round

and it starts again
blowing backwards
and it feels of rust and the cold
and it starts again
flowing backwards
and it soaks us all to the bone
if they ask you once..
i've worn the ring out
turn to me now
(we're) safe inside out
shapeless and round
and it draws us in
foaming sketches
and it strips us of every coat
and it stops just to
wait and listen
while we start to collapse and unfold
if they ask you once
i've worn the ring out
turn to me now
(we're) safe inside out
shapeless and round
so safe and sound
so safe and sound
so safe and sound
so safe and sound
(hoo hoo, hoo hoo..)
and it starts again
blowing backwards
and it feels of rust and the cold
if they ask you once..
i've worn the ring out
turn to me now
(we're) safe inside out
shapeless and round
(words by Ian M.)

baby, you're as gone as gone can be
you're a wrinkle in time you set the rhyme that held me
baby, you're as gone as gone can be
you're a wrinkle in time you walked the line and hurt me
shebore, shebore she's out the door
she poured it out for me
shebore, shebore she's out for more
she poured it out for me
baby, you're as far as stars can be
you're a wrinkle in time you set the line that held me
shebore, shebore she's out the door
she poured it out for me
shebore, shebore she's out for more
she poured it out for me
where did you go, where did you go
you gave me something to look toward
where did you go, where did you go, where did you go
where did you go, where did you go
you taught me that i could look forward
where did you go, where did you go, where did you go
where did you go, where did you go
you gave me something to look towards
where did you go, where did you go, where did you go
where did you go, where did you go
you gave me something to look for
where did you go, where did you go, where did you go
