Submarine
07:04
|

Breathe in the air
From an embryonic state
Float like a lilac
Drift through time and space
I'm slowly drifting off to sea
In my submarine
Bleed me a sunset
Paint the skies with your grace
And fall for the feeling
Of a never-ending fate
I'm slowly drifting off to sea
In my submarine
Drifting away
Don't ask me to stay

Relapse

I feel the relapse kicking in now
Atoms stretch apart through the moth clouds
And I can't break free from my mind's eye
Buzzing busy bees make hives through you
White light folds the forest into god's zoo
And you can't break free from your mind's eye

Euphoric medication
Neurotic overdose
I want the weight of the world
I want to hold my girl
Be my yoko ono
Be the only one I love
You're the windows of my house
I'm the hand in your blouse
I can't see you
But I can feel you fade out
Spiral out
Triangulate my body
I love dystopia
You're the fingers in my blood
You're the setting of the sun
I hate the third dimension
Weaving in and out of death
Did George have it right
When he took his life?
I can't see you
But I can feel you fade out
Spiral out

An Empty Feeling

Let's pretend we don't exist
Float in a womb of cigarettes
Like when your dad walked in on us
Fucking in the sawdust
You held my hand in a fit of fear
He had one too many beers
And I'll walk home, but never learn my lesson
In your bed, under the sheets
You find out I won't receive
Any message you put through
My blank stare is scaring you
And I mention I feel alone
Check my pulse, I am not home
You can mend a heart but never fix my brain
Try all you want, I've always been this way

Listen to the static haze
The dead air drifts across your face
Your eyes roll back into your head
Your mouth was foaming on my bed
I cried for help, "Please don't die"
The ambulances never arrived
A white chalk female outline
I wish I only saw the signs
When will our bodies feel for something real?
It's been so long
When will our bodies feel for something real?
Help me carry on
We stayed up in the belfry
Where the city lights would laugh at me
We spoke of only private things
Like why there's human suffering
I've memorized your every flaw
I've made a list that corresponds
To every time you've been harmed
By me leaving for the coast
When will our bodies feel for something real?
It's been so long
When will our bodies feel for something real?
Help me carry on
When will your stepdad have his final meal?
It's been so long
When will our bodies feel for something real?
Help me carry on

On a cold November morning in '85
The sun was black and fog had filled the sky
A captain prepared his crew for their trip to Versailles
And as they left the dock, he turned to his wife
And waved goodbye, bye, bye
With terrified eyes
The captain steered the rudder of his wooden ship
Away from siren songs in the Atlantic
But their seductive words tempt the crew
They tie the captain down and let the sirens through
He screams goodbye, bye, bye
I don't want any of this
With terrified eyes

The Shepherd
05:33
|

I woke from sleep in the blood of my sheep
The weight of guilt bears down on me
I was doing much better, I've done much better
But now I break glass and leave real fast
To flail around naked in the grass
I was doing much better, I've done much better
I've torn off their clothes, let their beauty unfold
I've tilled this land all on my own
I was feeling much better, I felt much better
And my gun refrains, I smash through the gate
To find my lover and the corpse she has laid
I was feeling much weaker, but now I'm better
alone
alone
alone
alone
alone
alone
alone
alone
Blue waves take over me
Let my body set me free
Blue waves take over me
Let my body set me free
I'm the shepherd, baby, know what I mean?
I'm the shepherd, baby, know what I mean?
I know where I belong now
Avoiding space and time
Drifting in a dream boat
Through the ocean in our minds
And I feel the earth conform to me
I'll love you like an artist
Who paints more than he sees
I'll bring you tea and crackers
To make sure you fall asleep
And I feel the earth conform to me
I'll eat you out for breakfast
With my head between your knees
Let's separate our bodies
Let our limbs grow into trees
And I feel the earth conform to me
To live in peace and pleasure
With a head of busy bees
Is to kill off the shepherd
Drift in my submarine
And I feel the earth conform to me
I feel much better...

Waking up at 4AM
To find your warm body in my bed
I've never felt this happy
I've never felt this good
And as I'm sitting there stroking your hair
A cold breeze flows through the air
You wake up and crawl to the door
Our clothes lie on the floor
But then you stop me
You're feeling sleepy
You haven't slept all night
You were watching me the whole time
You throw on my shorts and run out the door
I chase you across the kitchen floor
In my shorts, you dance
But on you, they look like pants
You trip and fall, not an accident at all
I stand above you six feet tall
I swoop down from above
We start to make sweet love
But then you stop me
You're feeling sleepy
You haven't slept all night
You were watching me the whole time
But then you stop me
You're feeling sleepy
You haven't slept all night
You were watching me the whole time
