Can't beat my wings, won't hold my breath. My body waits for a peaceful death. Soon it will be cold as the water is warm and then from her womb, not fully-formed... I loved you, even as you held my head underwater~ Drunk on your wine and this heart-shaped moon... Leave me to sing for a deep caress. The song of the swan and his weightless egress. Soon the moon will dance, dance and fade away and then from her heart, when morning breaks... I loved you, even as you held my head underwater~ Hung up in your twine and this heart-shaped moon... I loved you, even as you held my head underwater~ I don't mind this deep-blue swoon... I'll wane in your refrain, it's really no bother~ Just leave me behind this heart-shaped moon... Can't beat my wings, won't hold my breath. My body waits for a peaceful death. Soon this long goodbye will end with a kiss. The song of the swan and his weightless egress... When morning breaks this heart-shaped moon. Heart-shaped moon... When morning breaks this heart-shaped moon. Heart-shaped moon... When morning breaks this heart-shaped moon. Heart-shaped moon... You'll see me behind this heart-shaped moon...

Little Pear 02:41
Take all the time that you need. Drag my poor heart ‘til it bleeds… I don’t mind, little pear, I don’t mind. Waiting for you to call on me, for something that may never be… I don’t mind, little pear, I don’t mind. You’re with him but your heart is here with me… And when those walls are closing in I want to be your best friend… I don’t mind, little pear, I don’t mind. You’re at home but your heart is here with me… Take all the time you need...

How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace? When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh. You're the only one who really knew me at all... How can you just walk away from me, when all I can do is watch you leave? We've shared the laughter and the pain, we've even shared the tears. You're the only one who really knew me at all... So take a look at me now, there's just an empty space... There's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face. Just take a look at me now, there's just an empty space... And you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what I've got to face. I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry. There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why. You're the only one who really knew me at all... So take a look at me now, there's just an empty space... There's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face. Just take a look at me now, there's just an empty space... But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face... Take a look at me now... Take a look at me now, there's just an empty space... There's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face. Take a look at me now, 'cause I'll still be standing here... And you coming back to me is against all odds and it's a chance I've got to take. (Take a look at me now.) Now it's a chance I've got to take...

Strange things happen to a man on the road. Strange things happen to a man who's alone... It doesn't matter where you come from, it doesn't matter where you wanna go. It doesn't matter if you're on your way home, it doesn't matter who you know. Strange things happen to a man on the road. Strange things happen to a man who's alone... Strange things happen... Strange things happen to a man on the road. Strange things happen to a man who's alone... Well, back home you gotta solid life, that life don't mean a thing out here. Back home you gotta loving wife, she can't hear you calling out here. Strange things happen to a man on the road. Strange things happen to a man who's alone... Strange things happen... Strange things happen. Strange things happen. Strange things happen that you never heard about at home... Strange things happen... Strange things happen. Strange things happen. Strange things happen that you never heard about at home... Strange things happen...

Set the house on fire, never checked for faulty wires. Now I’m paralyzed in your sparkle-spray… Fell off the face, floating in outer space, with only your blue eyes to light my way… Winter came and Spring followed~ Summer turned to Fall. I count them all… Such a tiny room to slingshot around the moon, but my path is marked by your blue eyes… Might not be lost but there is no trace of me in your sparkle-spray; I am paralyzed… Winter came and Spring followed~ Summer turned to Fall. I count them all… Winter came and Spring followed~ Summer turned to Fall. I count them all… Winter came and Spring followed~ Filled the spaces that had hollowed. Summer turned to Fall. I count them all… Winter came and Spring followed~ Summer turned to Fall. I count them all…

As ether from all others and blackness to all eyes… All things unrecognized. Whether tagged and numbered or soaked and sanitized… All things unrecognized. Of chaos and disorder, of betrayal and lies… All things unrecognized. As ether from all others and blackness to all eyes… All things unrecognized. But fear is the one thing that holds us all together. A thread that runs through each heart… And love is only love, though nothing to be afraid of, it threatens to tear us apart… So tie me in a knot until I’m ready to unravel… I am scared of love. I am scared of love.

Two Vampires 05:27
Two vampires couldn't sleep, the night was just too cold. Bloodlust and revelry turned sawdust into gold. This one, she had eyes of blue, that one, his were green. Dreams, like nightmares, do come true but the endings are seldom seen... Two vampires hung by rope, swaying in the wind. Two dark souls bathed in hope and basking in their sins. This one's heart, a broken feather, plucked from a raven's breast. That one fell in love with her and drained himself of the rest... Two vampires couldn't sleep so they cut a hole in the sky. The cut was so clean, so true and deep, that it bled the universe dry. This one thought of giving in, that one had come undone. Fell asleep, swaying in the wind and woke up, burned by the sun...

Girl under glass, covered in centipedes and scorpions... I understand, this wasn't your plan... Girl under glass, clearly, I see your predicament. There's nothing I can do for you. There's nothing I can do for you...
