There's not a stage i wouldn't take
I love a crowd, although
You'll find me all alone
(Cast party of a one-man show)
Our home is quiet now
With all my brothers gone
Don't let em break the heart
Of my sweet and shameless mom
And i can't have a love now, understand
I can't say forever i won't hold your hand
No i can't have a love now, understand
I can't stay forever i won't hold your hand
Can't have a love now
Sleep with my door open even when there's no one home
Can't have a love now
Sleep with my door open and my legs closed
So i go out at night
to films i can't abide
To watch the flickering lights
And hear those strangers cry
(I’m not alone
I’m not alone)
And take the train home
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
But i can't have a love now, understand
I can't say forever i won't hold your hand
No i can't have a love now, understand
I can't stay forever i won't hold your hand

Sirens

I’ll braid my hair with yours
and hold your hand
The salt upon your skin
The salt upon the land
You sing so sad and sweet
it can’t be wrong
My lips upon your neck
I can’t resist your song
And we’ll drink wine between the sea and sky
Breathless on the shore
The fault’s not ours if they are seeing stars
And jumping overboard
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
Drunken sailor boys
Are drawing near
Don’t owe em anything
Just cuz they overhear
Our voices o’er the swells
they misconstrue
I’m not the promised land
I only sing for you
And we’ll drink wine between the sea and sky
Breathless on the shore
The fault’s not ours if they are seeing stars
And jumping overboard
I want my girl, I want my girl
My girl wants me
I want my girl, I want my girl
My girl wants me

Young Fools
03:05
|

That night when all the lights when out in our place
We strung a cord from our friends next door to play the stereo
So we could dance in the dark
Blackout blackout
Young fools
Why aren’t we bored anymore?
Why aren’t we bored anymore?
Punch-drunk, too awake to sleep. 4 a.m.
out on the porch the bottle kept us warm
we passed a cigarette so we could
dance in the light
all night, all night
Young fools
We couldn’t stop laughing, my head in your lap
When you braided my hair too tight and I snapped
I swore I’d keep in touch
how we swore we’d keep in touch
Young fools
Why aren’t we bored anymore?

Wild Devices

I have darker dreams than I admit
But I don’t mind, I deal with it
I have darker dreams than I confess
When left to my own wild devices
How I breathed, how I bathed in the sound
I submerged all my thoughts and I drowned
Gimme silence, I’ll be brave
There’s a strange religion in the empty space
So let us pray
If I can last a breath, I’ll last a day
Gimme silence, I’ll exchange
The intoxication of the golden age
To face the fear
If I can last a day, I’ll last a year

This Is Where It Ends
03:38

Don’t think I didn’t hear what you said beneath your breath,
It was beneath you
Don’t think I haven’t heard your well-fanged words,
I know where you’ve been
I fel them down my side, I saw the venom slide
To poison me and all our friends, but
This is where it ends
I won’t fight with you when you’re like this
I won’t fight with you when I can’t win.
This is where it ends
I won’t fight with you when you’re like this
I won’t fight with you when I can’t win.

Bullets in the Bower
03:40
|

there's bullets in the bower
where you & i entwine
like willow & the flowers
we soon will leave behind
and shots'll ring like silver
and shots'll ring like gold
bells chiming that he killed her
and her body's growing cold
there ain't a kiss that'll wake her now
gotta leave it to the bower to lay this body down.
there's thorns and salt and blood upon her gown
gotta leave it to the bower to lay this body down.

Outro (Cathedrals)

after all these years under the ground
I give my word but I keep the crown
The cathedral I built is in my mouth
The cathedral I built is coming down.
