Nostalgia 02:43
I touch your fingers; I touch your soul again; And when we collide it's in the Earth. I see the paint; Colors seem to swim; When I'm with you, that's all there is. I got you. My god I do. Where were you found When I lost you? Do we ever come back? I'm forgetting now. Did I lose a trade; Or did we make a shift? If life is just a game, then I don't feel swift. I lost you. I forogt you and everything you do.

I want to kiss your lips and peer into your irises. So I can feel the pain, that lead you to my plane. So I could fly again; you did this on a whim. And you'll leave again, when you meet a better friend. I love your face. Molly is that your name? Molly do you know I'm insane? So I'll just bring you down. I want to love again; in you I see a friend. But I don't know how to have faith in you. Sorry if I came on strong; I've been lonley for too long. I Think that's why you said, you want to see my smile I love your face. Molly I love to talk? But, Molly I've got no clock. So I'll just waste your time.

I would give all my blood and tears Just to have you here, in my arms. I'm torn into bits about this shift in my life. Come to me let's reminisce Let me tell you no one loves you like this. Walk with me let's have a kiss; Summer moon on your lips. All these changes are moving quick; The kind of love that makes me sick. I can't help but think of you; There is nothing left to do. I would give all my blood and tears Just to have you here, in my arms. I'm torn into bits about this shift in my life. Run with me, we'll jump cliffs; Let's see the light in this. Honey is sweet as could be; You are what I've always dreamed. Honey, blood and tears. I would give all my blood and tears Just to have you here, in my arms. I'm torn into bits about this shift in my life.

Home 03:37
Touchin' your body and feeling the motion. Into your eyes, that's all I notice. If nothing is real than what does it matter? If that's how I feel, than that's all I know. You make me feel at home When I'm far away. Into your heart, feel an emotion. We're moving slow, but time moves faster. Take it off. You make me feel at home When I'm far away. Nothing seems as real as what we did last night.

I don't want to lose again. You are so damn akin To the ways of the world. Things haven't been the same, Since you crept into my brain. We gonna wait Until the dawn arrives. I picked you up and you held me down; I kept you close and then we found. I went into the Black Sun. Diamonds played, like charades And I just hope I don't fade out. We gonna wait Until the dawn arrives. I picked you up and you held me down; I kept you close and then we found.

Do was a deer. Do was a friend and nothing else. Go to the place where we were born and always stayed. God, where do you to forget the code and let it all go? God, where do I go, to find her soul and finally let go? It goes on... God, where do you to forget the code and let it all go? God, where do I go, to find her soul and finally let go? Wait for the sound, because it's always at your feet. We are old and nothing's new-- it's all the same. Don't you want to know? I guess not. We are dead; I am dying in my sleep. She is walking-- she is crawling over me. Don't you want to know? I guess not.

I was born yesterday, suddenly. You were there watching from above. My father said, "Welcome to the world." Doesn't it always say our name? I took flight in the night, with the light. Doesn't it always say our name? I don't want to hear it anymore.

Thick Skin 02:34
I'm finding it hard to be in this world. I'm staying awake at night; I fear my dreams. Something's in the air; I can't breath. I'm thinking to much to speak to this girl. Everything seems to get at me. Get at me. Get at me. Get at me. Something that you said freaked me out. Could we be at peace in this life? Everything seems to get at me. Get at me. Get at me. Get at me.

Heard a story once before, About a girl who saved the world. She made the shadows go away, So we could live better days again. Had an interview with the shadow; Saw his face differentiate again. Isn't it always a drag? Isn't it all.. It's Zoe and the songs from Mars. Isn't it always a guess? Isn't it all… It's Zoe and the songs from Mars. It's Zoe…

Great Mother's milk, can you read my mind? Great Mother's milk; gonna take that sacrifice. High, high, high... If I want you, I can have you. If I want you, I will have you. High, high, high Low, low, low High, high, high. Great Mother's Milk in my mind. I am tired all the time. In the garden, in the forest, Drink my seed and you will love it High, high, high Low, low, low High, high, high Low, low, low. Great Mother's Milk in my mind. I am tired all the time.
