Caroline ---------- O Caroline My heart is breaking but it’s mighty fine And in due time I know that our stars will align I still wonder how you wake up This little heart of mine just won’t let go I can’t even forget your number How can I forget all the precious times we had? O Caroline And Caroline You will forever have that part of me And I don’t mind No I won’t struggle for my sanity Is it careless to love like this, With a heart that’s so open and free? Oh I know it’ll hurt again but My darling Caroline I just don’t care anymore Slugs ---------- Two thousand slugs outside Wrestling in the green twilight They don’t know ‘bout my hidden slime I’ll check myself for this Get my heartrate/right off my wrist Strip down and check my vital signs Snapshots are slowing Makes me think of some wild sin To make up for this place I’m in Crack the walk with new green Watch the thoughts that are swirling They become the words you put in Actions follow so closely Becoming habits with ease Stalled ---------- She’s beautiful in the morning Can’t have her though Ooo she’s stalling ‘Til I get up and go Walk out that door She’ll think about the things we did the night before She knows what she’s about And she doesn’t waver From the path she’s found Ooo she’s a lifesaver She works so hard When the day is through In the evening hour I tell her exactly what to do You You came just at the right time ‘Cause I wasn’t taking care You + I Waking Up ---------- Dreams are fading away into yesterday Sunlight slips through my eyelids And waking up is hard to do Waking up is sometimes hard to do You look within but your spirit is thin It’s a shade of you Waking up is sometimes hard to do So find the strength and the door Walk right through to talk to you I’m getting out of myself for a while In your arms, in your hips, in your style, in your lips But this frenzy is a show Let me go I see myself in your body, your movement, The way you give off all this frantic energy Feel the rhythms decoding emotions, breaking into our primal tendencies What if I can’t escape it or hold it? Do I need to fight it or just give in? What if this night is all we get? Is this even real? Are our fates intertwined? Like a moth to the flame oh I call for your name Hold me close but don’t burn me lover Like the wind and the rain Oh you’re never the same,, But I’ll find you before it’s over You need to unwind (Hold me close but don’t burn me lover) Soon you will be mine (Oh I’ll find you before it’s over) Tight as you can now (Hold me close but don’t burn me lover) Slow like a sea cow (Oh I’ll find you before it’s over) And waking up was sometimes hard to do But now that I’m here with you I don’t feel blue Let me go Souvenir ---------- Go and question what you’ve learned All these answers are absurd So scratch it watch it burn We learn to start again You’ve been right here before Before you knew what you know now It’s up to you to push right through We learn to start again Souvenir d'un temps où la beauté règne et les jours s'écoulaient, heureux, reviennent à moi Walla walla walla woah I’m downtown I’m ready Come find me Chemicals ---------- A laugh, a stare, a kiss, a smile It isn’t there, you don’t wanna talk And each small moment you breathe is fine And each wrong smell from the wind is in my hair I wish you weren’t lying here So I could only tell you the truth You don’t know me at all Say it isn’t true You recall it’s name now Breathe me in, I’ll let you know how ‘Cause you simply gotta manage ‘til the odds come Run and tell me baby what you doin to me? This wilderness will set me free These chemicals have made me sick Rinse and now you have to spit These chemicals have made me free And each road I take With each small mistake And each little pill It’s all much too late Incense ---------- Holy incense burns my mouth From the edges to the ground All the light and all the sound I can’t seem to let it out Oh my god, what did we trade? Did we give ourselves away? All the things you think you trust Jealousy, envy and lust ‘Cause all my answers come to me in dreams How many times I’ve tried Living without these lies Only to find that I Need ‘em just to survive Girasol, mirame a los ojos Canta si quieres cantar Llévame hasta tu rio perdido Me quiero lavar en tu mar Te quiero cantar en la luna Te quiero llevar hasta el sol No puedo vivir sin tus manos No puedo cantar sin mi voz Llora Silhouettes of love, love, love Pirouettes of light and sound Don’t Fade ---------- Promise me that you won’t fade Stick to your words, they’re all I’ve got I know with time these feelings can change And I won’t pretend to be something I’m not Who knows what is coming? What are we becoming? So I’m counting the minutes, the seconds the hours It’s a matter of time before you are near And if I wait there, then it might be forever And I just don’t wanna live with that fear Now my days, my days are so much grayer I try to remember the best that I can How you made your charming way into the back of my head You come up when I go down for bed

O Caroline And Caroline You will forever have that part of me And I don’t mind No I won’t struggle for my sanity Is it careless to love like this, With a heart that’s so open and free?

Slugs 03:37
Two thousand slugs outside Wrestling in the green twilight They don’t know ‘bout my hidden slime I’ll check myself for this Get my heartrate/right off my wrist Strip down and check my vital signs Snapshots are slowing Makes me think of some wild sin To make up for this place I’m in Crack the walk with new green Watch the thoughts that are swirling They become the words you put in Actions follow so closely Becoming habits with ease

Stalled 03:59
She’s beautiful in the morning Can’t have her though Ooo she’s stalling ‘Til I get up and go Walk out that door She’ll think about the things we did the night before She knows what she’s about And she doesn’t waver From the path she’s found Ooo she’s a lifesaver She works so hard When the day is through In the evening hour I tell her exactly what to do You You came just at the right time ‘Cause I wasn’t taking care You + I

Waking Up 06:09
Dreams are fading away into yesterday Sunlight slips through my eyelids And waking up is hard to do Waking up is sometimes hard to do You look within but your spirit is thin It’s a shade of you Waking up is sometimes hard to do So find the strength and the door Walk right through to talk to you I’m getting out of myself for a while In your arms, in your hips, in your style, in your lips But this frenzy is a show Let me go I see myself in your body, your movement, The way you give off all this frantic energy Feel the rhythms decoding emotions, breaking into our primal tendencies What if I can’t escape it or hold it? Do I need to fight it or just give in? What if this night is all we get? Is this even real? Are our fates intertwined? Like a moth to the flame oh I call for your name Hold me close but don’t burn me lover Like the wind and the rain Oh you’re never the same,, But I’ll find you before it’s over You need to unwind (Hold me close but don’t burn me lover) Soon you will be mine (Oh I’ll find you before it’s over) Tight as you can now (Hold me close but don’t burn me lover) Slow like a sea cow (Oh I’ll find you before it’s over) And waking up was sometimes hard to do But now that I’m here with you I don’t feel blue Let me go

Souvenir 05:30
Go and question what you’ve learned All these answers are absurd So scratch it watch it burn We learn to start again You’ve been right here before Before you knew what you know now It’s up to you to push right through We learn to start again Souvenir d'un temps où la beauté règne et les jours s'écoulaient, heureux, reviennent à moi Walla walla walla woah I’m downtown I’m ready Come find me

Chemicals 04:42
A laugh, a stare, a kiss, a smile It isn’t there, you don’t wanna talk And each small moment you breathe is fine And each wrong smell from the wind is in my hair I wish you weren’t lying here So I could only tell you the truth You don’t know me at all Say it isn’t true You recall it’s name now Breathe me in, I’ll let you know how ‘Cause you simply gotta manage ‘til the odds come Run and tell me baby what you doin to me? This wilderness will set me free These chemicals have made me sick Rinse and now you have to spit These chemicals have made me free And each road I take With each small mistake And each little pill It’s all much too late

Incense 05:42
Holy incense burns my mouth From the edges to the ground All the light and all the sound I can’t seem to let it out Oh my god, what did we trade? Did we give ourselves away? All the things you think you trust Jealousy, envy and lust ‘Cause all my answers come to me in dreams How many times I’ve tried Living without these lies Only to find that I Need ‘em just to survive Girasol, mirame a los ojos Canta si quieres cantar Llévame hasta tu rio perdido Me quiero lavar en tu mar Te quiero cantar en la luna Te quiero llevar hasta el sol No puedo vivir sin tus manos No puedo cantar sin mi voz Llora Silhouettes of love, love, love Pirouettes of light and sound
