I hit my head upon the door
In this world I’ve never
You walked in past the chandelier
In the hall all earth is waiting now
And there was everyone we’d meet
And no one could whisper
They said the feeling was so proud
It was all the whole earth’s wedding now
And so it’s run over
Lost in Santa Monica you found
Everything you adore here
With everyone around
Everything I adore will die
I feel it more than ever
So spirit come and drink with me
Bring a nearness I’ll remember
I'm in love with everyone I've ever known
Though everyone I’ve known I’ve hated
Everything is weird and so unclear
Everything is a tongue I've tasted
How then could I have ever known
I lost all control when
All those moments added up i found
Everything I adore here
With everyone’s around

Our Remains (Acoustic)
03:47

I survived the wasteland, of tasting tongues but can’t deny,
A beacon shined, in blistered light, for a while burning in an open eye
No room for improvement, you’re just some muse I use for joy,
The version of, you I love, is some other, not this virgin little boy
Little souls, blurred in bowls, and poured on anyone, it’ll never be the same
Thundering loud, I stand up proud as lightning crashed to waves, I don’t wanna stay, I’m wearing your remains
I pulled you in my body, the thought is really odd I know,
Does it alarm you or disarm you? I should’ve warned you, I didn’t mean to harm you so
I only said I wanted, to bring you near, you flaunted how,
You were a loner and a stone, who didn’t know if you could be my home right now
Little signs, are beacons shining, poured on anyone, it’ll never be the same
Summer storm, bodies worn, we’re shimmering in lakes, I don’t wanna wait, I’m wearing our remains
On bed your sadness shimmers, I press my tongue against your hair,
You invite me, you say “delight me and come inside me” but there’s no room to hide me there
Am I a torture glutton, am I some portion of a whole,
On your horizon, always shining, the beacon brightest, I take my hands off all controls
Little souls, can take no more, I’m torn from everyone, it’ll never be the same
Summer haze, all decaying, hand around a blade, I don’t wanna wait, I’m wearing loves remains

Tongue Tied (Acoustic)

Tongue tied
I can feel the shadows
Your eyes
I don’t know 'em now
Tongue tied
And I feel the shadows
Oh I
I don’t know you now
Cannibal star / cannibals starve
Come over and listen
And cut me apart
To show what I'm missing
I don't ever know
How to hold
The weight of my soul
When letting go
But I’m falling
In my own illusion
I don’t know my way back
Home

Sans Land (Acoustic)

I’m lost in
Whatever I believe
But the worn path has grown up
Like me after years of
Carrying my cross
But am I just lost
In some rehearsed lines
I’ve learned my whole life
I've waited
For a sign
To build my own home on now
But I missed it or it never came somehow
Everyone I cross
Is a little less lost
As I rehearse these lines
I've heard all my life
Told be holy
But I don’t know which way to walk
I’ve got no sign to one place only
And no guide here to show me
I walked across
I walked across
