Dead Love

If you chose living over my ways
I'd understand
For hundreds of years, I've been waiting on the sand
The sky is staring into a horrible abyss
And staring at the sky is connecting with this
The first time I cast my sight on
Your sunkissed hair
Been such a long time since I'd tasted air
And though I knew I could not join you in breath
And it'd be so wrong to try to tempt you to death
I loved you on sight
You made me feel bright
I gave you a fright
Before too long you could see me
I manifested a form
But you could not touch me so I'm never warm
And when your father saw you kissing the air
He had you committed though it was not fair
I loved you on sight
You made me feel bright
But dead love isn't right
My vengeance is fierce
Runs cold like the winter
I'll use it to turn the world upside down
And I'll rip the sound out of everyone's ears
Til all you can hear is my terrible silence.

Sleep/Whatever

It's cool to meet a ghost
But I'll go mad if I chase them
It's good to be the most
But I'll be dead when they gauge it
Sometimes I had some friends
Had my wagon, but then I lost it
It's right to see the end
But I won't stay cause I'm exhausted
Oh,
I was sitting down on the block that I walked
The rain was pouring down and it can't ever stop
I looked into the mirror that was passing me by
I saw that it was breaking and I wanted to cry
Now I need to rest my heart.
It's fine to lead your friends
Set an example, but I don't know it
It's right to blow your mind
But I'll turn off the moment that I turn on
Oh,
I was sitting down on the block that I walked
The rain was pouring down and it can't ever stop
I looked into the mirror that was passing me by
I saw that it was breaking and I wanted to cry
Now where can someone go when they can't even sleep?
There's nothing to turn off and there's nothing to keep
Oh I am surely dying and I don't have much time
And I need to make sure that I'm watching the signs
Yea I need to rest my start
And now it's dark and I'm asleep
While everybody out there has fun
I wish, I wish, I really really wish,
I really really wish I'd have some.
