Daily Seas

Caught in daily seas
Swimming to the lonely shores
If I was one with my feet
Would've become an acrobat
When I was a little girl
I thought I would rule the world
Soon I found that all my dreams
Spawned the wounds that should be seen
Departed from my lazy feet
Departed from my lazy greed
Now I know the meaning of
Longing for something free
Oh my dizzy sailor
The ship has sailed
Try to walk on water
Try to fly with rain
When I was a little girl
I thought I would rule the world
Soon I found that all my dreams
Spawned the wounds that should be seen
When I was a little girl
I thought I would rule the world
I tiny ship on my own lake
Burst the bubbly, wreck the flake

Streets//No More
04:05

We used to live on South East shore
And it felt like blocks of snow
We would only form our thoughts
When we were too cold
I had a feeling in my chest
When we found that big scrapyard
All we ever did was find
A spark to light a fire
We don't go down these streets no more
It's a shame, it's a shame I can't remember my name
As the years go my friend
I see you trying to melt me
Into a golden pot
Where you can fit all your thoughts
You say you only wanna survive
But we want a small part
The business man in you to die
We don't go down these streets no more
It's a shame, it's a shame I can't remember my name

Three Days
04:09

Driven off with thought
At the wheel of a van
The engine seems to roar
Softer than my mind
Roads' been winding for three days
You'd think it's enough
To snap back to reality
To undue the cuffs
I thought a change of scene
Would change my mind
How wrong was I?
How wrong was I?
Thought it would be colder
Wind blowing in
Thought I'd forget it
But here I am
Roads' been winding for three days
You'd think it's enough
To snap back to reality
To undue the cuffs
I thought a change of scene
Would change my mind
How wrong was I?
How wrong was I?

Destroy the World
03:39

There's a war between yours and my side of town
On whether we should let them in our gates or out
The problem is in my hands
But i don't know to think with my head
The good people would ask me
"How would you feel?" and I said:
I don't mind the cold at night
I don't mind it all the time
I don't mind it you could say I'm blind
And I scare myself time to time
The president pressed on the button he destroyed the world
How did it happen that happen that only one could hold it in their hands?
I wish I had stopped him but I'm just a girl
I wish we had stopped the war but we built him a wall
I don't mind the cold at night
I don't mind it all the time
I don't mind it you could say I'm blind
And I scare myself time to time
I feel numb and I hope you don't

Faking an Escape
03:17

I was on the verge of breaking down
I took my keys and I drove out
Is there time for peace in the dark?
Is there time for love in a civil war?
I was on the verge of swallowing myself
So I dug under the tree and the roots were gone
Was it mine to take this ache I found?
Do you feel good? Do you feel odd?
Pain it's gone and I'm gone away love with the wind
Pain it's gone and I'm gone away for good
Pain it's gone and I'm away love with the wind
I'm never coming home
I was on the verge of falling out
My momma said baby you can work it out
Is there time for compromise in a civil war?
How do you feel now that you found doubt?
Pain it's gone and I'm gone away love with the wind
Pain it's gone and I'm gone away for good
Pain it's gone and I'll never let anyone in
I'm never coming home

Did the city hold you tight?
Like a secret on a plain
I looked inside your pantry
And didn't find the key
Now tell me all your secrets
Is her hair on your beard?
You're a lost boat at sea
Evacuate your fears
You were colder than grey water
You were colder than the wind
You were colder than the water
That flooded our city
That flooded our home
Tell Jimmy to come get you
My eyes are getting sore
The black wave you've been riding
Has knocked closed all my doors
Now tell me all your secrets
Are her bedsheets on your mind?
You're a lost boat at sea
And I can't reverse the tide
You were colder than grey water
You were colder than the wind
You were colder than the water
That flooded our city
That flooded our home
You flooded our city
You flooded our home

Lord

Sold their souls to a god
to make a living out of death
was it wrong to never ask why
only to be happy in a next life?
Sold their souls to a church
a building made out of pain
but babies never feel the hurt
and my mother she forgot to hate
Oh my Lord
Coca Cola bought my life
around the time when I was born
it assured the whole town a paradise
They"re praying :
"Coca Cola oh my Lord
Mister Mayor oh my Lord
Coca Cola oh my Lord"
You're gonna kill me
You can't refuse to be bought
you can't refuse to be bought
when it's poured down your throat
I can't trust no more.
"Coca Cola oh my Lord
Mister Mayor oh my Lord
Coca Cola oh my Lord"
You're gonna kill me
