Core
Aren't you gonna break my fall?
Show me what I'm in this for
Aren't you gonna break my fall? (x2)

Think like you haven't ever
Try to remember the days
When we would talk till the light
Before morning

Your summer neck is burned
With salt and sand
I lost my fingers
Trying to find your old hands

In time maybe we'll discover we could've been closer to the core (x2)

Think like you haven't ever
Try to remember we're dead
Now I'm watching you
From far away instead

In time maybe we'll discover we could've been closer to the core (x4)

Think like you haven't ever
Try to remember we're alive
I haven't slept for two nights
And I see things now

In time maybe we'll discover we could've been closer to the core (x4)

Aren't you gonna break my fall?
Show me what I'm in this for
Aren't you gonna break my fall?



Grab
Love makes you grab, it make you want
What you now is not yours
Love makes you cold, makes you calm
Makes you kill like it's nothing
Love makes you blank, it makes you drift
Where you know you shouldn't go there
Love makes you chew, it makes you choke
Makes you choose what's not your choice
Love makes you steal, it makes you take
Makes you honest when you're so fake

Love makes you, oh grab
Now love makes you, oh grab

And loves makes you spit, makes you explode
Where you know you should be the one
Love makes you hurt, it makes you break
Where you know you should be whole

Love makes you, oh grab
Now love makes you, oh grab, oh grab, oh grab

And love makes you grab, and it make you want
Yeah, what you now is not yours
And love makes you steal, and it makes you take
Yeah, makes you honest when you're so fake

Love makes you, oh grab (repeat)



Basilica
Basilica arms wrapped around me
How will i ever lose this pain this sadness
All this madness

Blood on my blade and sweat on my skin
Guilt ridden wish for new innocence
If you want lucid ancient hungry precious

Fading look in my eye
I dream I am a circle
Lost in a cloud
I dream I am quiet
Lost in the loud
Waiting for ever I'm caught up in never
I lost my sixth sense that found you here

Now you feel weird now you're freaked out
By all the holding tempting
No more kisses we both want it
Cracked shell light under the door

You are the aura seeping into my sinking airless
Suspicious heart
Still I dream I am a circle
Lost in a cloud
I dream I am quiet
Lost in the loud
Waiting for ever I'm caught up in never
I lost my sixth sense that found you

Basilica arms strapped around you
Why don't you ever lose this pain this sadness
All this
Basilica

Ah, basilica



Succinct
We were just eleven
The dream was so insane
I think you were doing the 
Wheelbarrow race with jimmy page
Field day was so fine
Right as I was flying
Every blade of grass was
Dreaming of greening to catch me

So wait for the wheels to come alive
Now they're turning to you
In the light before you blink
Mitch, he's so kitch, he's so cute
We should kiss him just once
It's all so succinct

Yeah, I'm reading all the good books
Before they're bad movies
Even on my deathbed
I'll still be laughing at you
But there's one thing you got to tell me
Yeah there's one thing I gotta know
?Where'd you get that ???????

Wait for the wheels to come alive
Now they're turning to you
In the light before you blink
Amanda, she's so random, she's so ambient
She's so eno
It's all so succinct

Wait for the wheels to come alive
Now they're turning to you
In the light before you blink
Mitch, he's so kitch, he's so cute
We should kiss him just once
It's all so succinct



Your New Man
Drifted off, no pomp or grandeur
Light years away off my
Tortilla factory calendar
She woke up screaming
Yeah she couldn't understand
She hoped for a boy
But all she found was a man

So she sang me a waltz called
Blind hips in motion
She learned from a cross eyed fiddle player
In nova scotia

That skinny white dress that you wore
Never cools your anger
Turn out the lights now
You're my favorite stranger

Your new man is tearing you apart
Oh
No more wild upheaval of the heart
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

So she drifted off
She took my conscience
Stuck it in a brown paper bag
Like one of her sack lunches

That skinny white dress that you wore
Never cools your anger
Turn out the lights now
You're my favorite stranger

Your new man is tearing you apart
No more wild upheaval of the heart
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh



Last Kiss
Her mommy was dirty
And she wouldn't get up
From the kitchen floor
You used to dance together

You were just a baby
Trying to catch up
Oooooh
No one can hurt you now

So make it slow
Make it sweet
'Cause this is our last kiss

Half anger
Half relief
'Cause this is our last kiss

Make it slow
And make it sweet
'Cause this is our last kiss



Maria
Maria Isaura
Open up your blind eyes
Maria isaura
Open up your blind eyes

Since you've been asleep
Your husband bought a gun
Children ran away

Maria Isaura
Open up your blind eyes

Since you've been asleep
We washed your purple veil
Called father daniel
Asked the undertaker for an extra day

I wish I knew your secret hiding place
Where you keep all your energy
You whispered the word so long ago
And it slipped from my memory

Maria Isaura
Open up your blind eyes
Maria Isaura
Open up your blind eyes

Yeah so what, I don't know
No long goodbye
Until you show your secret hiding place
Where you keep all your energy
You whispered the word so long ago
And it slipped from my memory
I've been looking since at least
A million words ago 
Yeah I'm trying to find the perfect one
It's hidden like a key from a criminal
In a cell
And it never gets
To the tip of my tongue
Maria
To the tip of my tongue
Maria
Tip of my tongue
Maria
Tip of my tongue

Maria Isaura
Open up your blind eyes
Maria Isaura
Open up your blind eyes

???El magojo se fue, candas alabare???

Open up your blind eyes
Open up your blind eyes
Open up your blind eyes
Open up your brown eyes



Emotional Grind
While clinging to a dream
I can hear you scream
Emotional grind
Wasted on the world

Fly floating on a whim
All we do is swim
To the emotional tide

Honestly my love
You're my only bliss
In this emotional time

Honestly my love
You're my only bliss
In this emotional grind

While clinging to a dream
I can hear you scream
Emotional grind
?washed up dripping world?

Watch her as she shines
Lie to lie
Truth to truth
Yeah we're moving like we used to
In a snake charm 
We're slithering
Yeah we're moving like we used to
Moving, we're moving like we used to



Sigh Bye Sigh
Sigh bye sigh
Sigh bye sigh
Sigh bye sigh
You do it
Oh, sigh bye sigh

She was on his shirt now
Reaching up to touch him
Reaching up to bless him
Reaching up to heaven

Oh, sigh bye sigh
Sigh bye sigh
Sigh bye sigh
You do it
Oh, sigh bye sigh

Yeah, the world's lost without her
She only talks to innocent children
It's true that she's here again
I used to be in her legion

She was on his shirt now
Reaching up to touch him
Reaching up to bless him
Reaching up to heaven

No, sigh bye sigh
Sigh bye sigh
Sigh bye sigh
You do it
Oh, sigh bye sigh

Fatima and medjugorie
Every girl is born with your name
And every boy's in love with you
We're all waiting for your apparition

She was on his shirt now
Reaching up to touch him
She's reaching up to push him
Reaching up to heaven, oh

Yeah, sigh bye sigh
sigh bye sigh
you do it
Oh, sigh bye sigh
Sigh bye sigh
Sigh bye sigh
Sigh bye sigh
You do it
Oh, sigh bye sigh



Come On
Waiting for the forty
I saw my life pass before me
And I jumped on to the north one
I remembered the brownstone
Sundown i'll meet you
Where the drag splits in two

This life is about fear of love
This love is about fear of life
This heart is about the taste of you
This you is about the fear of love
Come on

Someone's playing a trick
We were the only ones left
On the big I F
I missed my lucky thirteen
Gotta get back down south
Gotta get back down south

This life is about fear of love
This love is about fear of life
This heart is about the taste of you
This you is about the fear of love

This life is about fear of love
Ooooh love love
This love is about fear of life
Ooooh love love
This heart is about the taste of you
Ooooh love love
This you is about the fear of love
Ooooh love love (repeat x2)



Go Full Circle
In the left
Flowers from Bangladesh
In the right
Is a half dying cigarette
Tongue burned on coffee
Three days and she's watching
Violets shrink

I won't look you in the eye
I promise

Navigate every lover in your fleet
At your will, fallin' at your feet
Had enough of fear
Who are we
Shame ourselves watching
Violets shrink

I won't look you in the eye
It's my favorite way to die
I won't look you in the eye
I promise

So don't say no and don't say yes
Before you say another word
Why don't you let me guess

This decade goes out to you
The fifth and final mystery
At night i make my rounds after you
I go full circle like a rosary
Full circle like a rosary

But I'm gone
'Cause I never went away
But I'm here because you never asked me to stay

Tongue burnt from cursing your name
Now all poison in the world tastes the same

But I won't look you in the eye
I promise

So don't say no and don't say yes
Before you say another word
Why don't you let me guess

This decade goes out to you
The fifth and final mystery
At night I make my rounds after you
I go full circle like a rosary
Full circle like a rosary

But I won't look you in the eye
It's my favorite way to die
I won't look you in the eye
It's my favorite way to die
I won't look you in the eye x3
I promise
