If I could turn back the time
I would
I’d go back to before when life
Was understood
Back before I knew
That my eyes where blue
You’re as warm as the sun
As it shines through
You’re as warm as the sun
As it shines through
I’m as cold as the sea
As it is blue
But I am just a boy still
With a mind full of poison
If I could uncommit these crimes
I would
I’d go back on your shoulders where
I was understood
Back before I knew
There could be a deeper blue
You’re as warm as the sun
As it shines through
You’re as warm as the sun
As it shines through
I’m as cold as the sea
As it is blue
But I am just a boy still
With a mind full of poison

Ghouls

Flaunt your gentle soul
Watch your dreams take control
Show the world that you care
The world needs more people like you here
But nobody told you about the ghouls in paradise
They'll rip you off and tell you that you've been a parasite
Straight down the vultures neck you go
It's probably too late to ask how so
They say this earth is sinking
But we're not the captains is what I was thinking
All you've got to do is step out of the flame
There will be a time for you to rule once again
But now you know about the ghouls in paradise
They'll rip you off and tell you that you've been a parasite
Straight down the vultures neck you go
It's probably too late to ask how so

Don't break your mother's heart today
That rope has no use put it away
You will get through this all you've got to do is carry on
There will be room for you room for you down the road to grow
There's on big cloud blowing up the sky
And nobody ever told you why
All you've got to do is keep it going strong
All you've got to do is keep on going on
Cause that
Black dog don't fit that shoe
No no that black dog don't fit that shoe
Black dog don't fit that shoe
Don't break your brother's heart today
That rope has no use put it away
You will get through this all you've got to do is carry on
There will be room for you room for you down the road to grow
Black dog don't fit that shoe
No no that black dog don't fit that shoe
Black dog don't fit that shoe

Cold Water

Sewing the seeds of
This cold truth
Growing up beside the wind
That blows away the truth
My skin is thickening
You’ve been pulling this trickery
Bringing me closer to death
This cold water
Surrounds us all
Like leaves in autumn
We are bound to fall
But I’ve been a blackhole for too long
But I don’t know much about space so
Gotta carry on and just
Hold you closely
To my heartbeat
Hold you close
Before I go
Just like shooting stars we were up in the sky millions of years away
Millions on miles
And I wonder if we could ever do it again cause I want you
Just like shooting stars we were up in the sky millions of years away
Millions on miles
And I wonder if we could ever do it again cause I want to
This cold water
Surrounds us all
Like leaves in autumn
We are bound to fall
But I’ve been a blackhole for too long
But I don’t know much about space so
Gotta carry on and just
Hold you closely
To my heartbeat
Hold you close
Before I go

Elephant

There's an elephant
There's an elephant
Standing in the middle of the room
And he's telling me he's telling me
He's gonna enter my mind soon
To shatter those memories of good times and melodies that I have made over the years
And you've been dragging your bones around with every tear
Cause life can be difficult fucked up and unfair
But we got to remember that we're lucky to be here
To feel breeze on fingertips and sunshine on our backs
And once we go we know there aint no going back
So don't hold a grudge and show a bit of love
To the people around you that care
Or they may remain unaware
There's a monster
There's a monster
Sitting at the bottom of the deep
And he's telling me he's telling me
He's gonna enter my mind in my sleep
To shatter those memories of good times and melodies that I have made over the years
And you've been dragging your bones around again
Cause life can be difficult toilsome and unfair
But we got to remember that we're lucky to be here
To feel breeze on fingertips and sunshine on our backs
And once we go we know there aint no going back
So don't hold a grudge and show a bit of love
To the people around you that care
Or they may remain unaware
