Daily Seas 03:36
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

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?

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

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

Flood 04:45
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 03:12
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
