Black Winged Bird

Night can't come quick enough
My faults shine in the sun
A train bridge of spies
watches all the cars collide

I roll my green sleeves over ruby
I don't blame you for doing it to me
Real girls don't take aim
like kings do these days

I made my mind up to be a black-winged bird
Never turn my head for how things were
Leave the bluest skies for boys to burn

And I'll soar on my way
Sad as the state of things we can't change

Now were paper dolls all aflame
In houses that all look the same
Rows of regret
An arson for a wilderness

I hide my saints in the willow trunk
You started me on this junk
Now my black lungs are blue
But I'm still singing to you
I'm still singing to you...

Some Surprise

Your lips come as some surprise,
That they would want to come and meet mine,
They never taste like the last time,
Your lips come as some surprise!

I was always a special child,
Circuit boards for my insides.
All I dreamed of was flying high,
So your lips came as some surprise.

Your lips come as some surprise,
That they would want to come and meet mine,
They never taste like the last time,
Your lips come as some surprise!

I was never one of the boys
Throwing shapes and power ploys.
In your arms warmth I did find,
In your seat I did decline.

Your lips come as some surprise,
That they would want to come and meet mine,
They never taste like the last time,
Your lips come as some surprise!

Now that we've sat for a while
You've shown me yours and I've shown you mine
Even after all this time
Your lips come as some surprise.

Your lips come as some surprise,
That they would want to come and meet mine,
They never taste like the last time,
Your lips come as some surprise!
Your lips come as some surprise!
Your lips come as some surprise!

All The Way Down

[Lyrics

I'll be out

You have broken me all the way down
That'll be the last you see of me

What chance have we got when you missed every shot

I'll be fast asleep
________  brightness
_________ find this
I'll be out _______

Too Many People

[Lyrics]

Good Intentions Rust

[Lyrics]

Needles

Under my cloud,
Out of my hands:
Lost in a feeling
That I can't get out of.

Wondering why.
Wasting our time.
Wasting all I love
In the shiny side of my life.

I don't need you near me
So chemical and ____
I don't need you near me. Oh.

Under my hand,
Out of my head:
Lost in confusion
I can't say we're out yet
Under the light.
What if I died?

What if halfway though
I turn around and change my mind?

I don't need you near me
So chemical and ____
I don't need you near me. Oh.

Aliens
