The road will be dark
You’re stalling me with beer and talk
Still I sit here on your bed, ignoring the clock
Looking ahead, like prophecy my path is set
Today we lay foundations for future regrets
It’s been a good time, might see you somewhere down the line
Soon it’s just the memories, fading from mind
We’ll never know what could have been, what could have grown
We’ll wonder every now and then, each on our own
I know I’m gonna miss you someday, and it hurts already
Oh, I’m gonna miss you someday, and it hurts already
You just ain’t going my way
The sun will subside
The moon will move the ocean tides
and here we are, the two of us, along for the ride
Try to keep cool, you say that you will miss me too
I hope that you find something like this with someone new

Tonight
03:48
|

|
It is begun
Speak sweet nothings in the old abyssal tongue
Let’s haunt this place
Tonight the orange moon will guide us to our fate
Everybody but you
Just fades away
Everybody but you
Fades away
Fall to the earth
Draw forth knowledge from the dead leaves and the dirt
Cut up the page
Find what’s hidden deep within another age
Chorus
What have you done to me?
Speak sweetly in the old abyssal tongue to me
Let’s haunt the world tonight
Light the beacon, let the flags unfurl tonight
Chorus

Oceans Rise Like Giants
04:05
|
|||
|
The beasts that have gone missing will show up in your dreams
All the kingdom’s ivory halls will echo with their screams
Criers in the center of the crowded town square
The magistrates will make a show and shed a single tear
Oceans rise like giants and lumber onto shore
Things that were forgotten will be forgotten no more
Rivers turn to mud and deserts flood with burning rain
And there isn’t any plan in place for our remains
You better run the other way
You better run the other way
The shadows are long now, we’ve lost another day
Oh, you better run the other way
The beasts are starving now, and though they’re only ghosts
Every one of us can feel their breath on our throats
Nothing that we understand survives the aftermath
The sun has set upon us standing on the wrong path
Chorus
Oceans rise like giants, ready for a war
Things that were forgotten will be forgotten no more
Chorus X2

Love Thief
04:08
|

|
What’s a little thief got to do
Just to steal a little time with you
I’d plan an elaborate and daring heist
Cause I think you’re really nice, that’s right
I could do it tonight
I’d empty out the national treasury
If I thought that it would make you see
You’re the only real treasure to me
I’d happily lift some priceless art
Just to decorate my apartment for
You to come over more
And I’d abscond with the great Hope Diamond
Cause I’m hoping you’ll see that I’m in love
La-la-la-love
Would you like golden bars or coins?
I could do some sweet purloining for you baby, yeah
I’d blow up a bank vault with C-4
If you would just take pity on my poor poor poor poor heart
We could travel round the world just a-robbing it blind
And what I seek I hope I’ll find in you
Loving me too
I could dig a tunnel beneath the ground
So we could have a night out under the town, oh no
Come on, baby, let’s go
And I’ll pick a pocket where there’ll be a ring
How did that guy know it’s the very thing I need
Well he’s done a good deed
Baby I would plunder, embezzle or housebreak for you
I could burgle anything we needed, darling
I know that I’m wanted by the law
But really that’d be the only flaw in a perfect world
Of you
And me
And a little larceny
La-la-la-larceny
My la-la-la-love

Be Like That
03:35
|
|||
|
You were always there to help when I held myself back
You tried to slyly make me think about everything I lack
I wanted to get out there, show off what I have
I wanted to be louder and tonight I’m gonna be like that
I felt the change in pressure, heard the thunder crack
I was halfway dreaming, it seemed too distant and abstract
But tonight I’m going out there and I’m never, never looking back
I was undervalued, you played your part in that
What other people added to me you tried to subtract
I’m not trying to break your heart, just giving you the goddamn facts
Your worst-case scenario, tonight I’m gonna be like that
I’ll be a part of all the things that scared me in the past
Everything is bright and loud and moving way too fast
But tonight I’m going out there and I’m never, never looking back
I was underrated, now’s my time to overreact
I’ll burn this city to light my way, tonight I’m gonna be like that
I felt the change in pressure, heard the thunder crack
I was halfway dreaming, it seemed too distant and abstract
I’ll be a part of all the things that scared me in the past
Everything is bright and loud and moving way too fast
But tonight I am going out there and I’m never looking back

Anxious Love
03:41
|
|||
|
Windows open and the music playing soft
You ask me if I wanna dance, it’s been my only thought
A warm breeze through the curtains, my heart pounds in my chest
It’s never really easy but tonight
I wanna know what’s next
I’ve been shaking so long
I’ve been shaking so long
Despite trying so hard just to be strong
It’s ingrained into me, I want you to get through to me
It’s not the time to be shy and withdrawn
If red wine is poetry then I want whiskey’s prose
Just a touch inside of us, enough to make me bold
No more space between us, I’m wrapped up in your arms
It’s always complicated but tonight
I’m letting down my guard
I’ve been shaking so long
I’ve been shaking so long
Waiting just to see what could go wrong
I’m sorry for my nature, I give a list of disclaimers
When I only want to fall for you headlong
I’ve been shaking so long
I’ve been shaking so long
Despite trying so hard just to be strong
It’s ingrained into me, I want you to get through to me
It’s not the time to be shy and withdrawn
I’ve been shaking so long
I’ve been shaking so long
Waiting just to see what could go wrong
I’m sorry for my nature, I give a list of disclaimers
When I only want to fall for you headlong
