Tell me if you wanna make your way out of line I'll let you cut me or swallow my time I'll let you heal me both my eyes are blind Step now in front and I'll stay here behind If it feels like they want you See how they hold you Forever walls falling down I made up my mind I'm waiting for you In some other line

02 Burn Their Bodies We were so close to the edge Clouds hang, white blankets  Suspended in our eyes We were so far from our minds Stealing still this moment, this picture All the stars, all the stars Burn their bodies Just for you, just for me So much to remember So far to forget Deep is the water in the river With what hasn't happened yet We see from just underneath Bright city floating above our eyes Soaking our skins in the streets Write my name on the water Just to see what it looks like This picture All the lights, all the lights Burn their bodies Just for you, just for me And the rain comes down Just where will we go And the rain comes down And the streets overflow

03 Agatha When Edgar said he'd shaved his head, She cried They danced a dance like broken fireflies Cars and houses Cars and houses In flames There really is no substitute For friends And I see you, I see you: An animal with antlers When Edgar said he'd shaved his head, She cried We were waiting for a bomb to fall When Edgar said he'd shaved his head, She cried They danced a dance like broken fireflies We were waiting for a bomb to fall 
And I see you I see you An animal with antlers We were waiting for a bomb to fall

04 Love Like Ghosts A night on the edge of life Is calling me over here Now you know Just how the story goes As the night owls are stumbling home The years teach you something The days never knew Your eyes tell me something That's best not to know We're lost between do's and dont's Another one for the road? Now you know We talk about love like ghosts As the night owls are stumbling home The years teach you something The days never knew Your eyes tell me something That I'd love to know  I'm holding on I'm holding on

05 Blind and Closed (You go) I won’t go (In vain) Let me stay (I can't stop) Before your trust (Thinking) Will calm me down (I give) I need it still (Belong) Inside your world (To call) They can see (Your eyes) Are blind and closed   (Here we are) We are young (Can't hold on) Let’s turn around Far too young (Falling off the edge) To turn around Maybe I (Who's letting go) Could turn around (These arms are breaking and the sky is red) The northern lights Disappear in you   (you come) I will return (undone) My favorite room (I was dead) Take another pill (before you) And let the dream descend (I have slept) You blame your past (at your feet) By the river’s edge (just to dig) Our bones and gold (the disaster) Swallowing our souls   We are always falling off the edge We are young (Can't hold on) Let’s turn around Far too young (Falling off the edge) To turn around Maybe I (Who's letting go) Could turn around (These arms are breaking and the sky is red) The northern lights Disappear in you   We are always falling off the edge (I don't wanna go I don't wanna go this time I don't wanna die, get lost I don't wanna get lost this time) We are always falling off the edge Who's letting go?

06 Blink You come to me You come to me I don't feel like walking You've got me in a corner You've got me in a corner You speak in tongues You speak in dutch You've got me in a corner You've got me in a corner Beseech the tones Beseech the maps Imprisoned in a nervous system You've got me in a corner You've got me in a corner You come to me The future is a landslide The future is already old You've got me in a corner You've got me in a corner And I don't want to leave Did she offer you a handshake? It's never just a handshake Did she offer you a handshake? You've got me in a corner You've got me in a corner You speak to me You speak to me I don't feel like talking These days You come to me These days You come to me These days I don't feel like talking These days

07 Finally Out Repeat, I choke Awake now I've gotta get out I see, a way Escape I've gotta get out I've gotta get out of here Hold me down This spinning, spinning around Prescribe me a medicine I will take, take, take it Swallow, smooth down Maybe it's all in my head But it's all come over me I'm finally out Just a sheep in your wool Hiding in the pull Just a sheep in your wool Hiding from the force of pull Never enough It's never enough Do I have to sleep at night When all the other people Shut their eyes I'm finally out Wanna be alive Open my eyes all night Every sound, all night Keeps me breathing Every creak Keeps me sleeping

08 Framed & Frozen   Think of things to entertain And change something But don't change the coloring We could set ourselves alight Just to brighten up the day Oh yeah, we made that mistake It was in the paper Framed and frozen You and my reflection Rings don't bind in this way I can't take the time to follow fables anyway I don't mind being buried If you're buried next to me When we shake Then we break monotony Framed and frozen You and my reflection Together finally Forgetting gravity
9.
09 Puppet Spinning Somewhere you are circling I'm all tied up in the air Puppet spinning through the storm Blown from the safe Hold, rotate Aimless as I fall I'm calling through the rain We were wanting To keep the weight from wandering Strings were pulling I was afraid, afraid you were the fade The only way, the only way Shoot the holes, shoot the holes Blown from the safe Only hold, rotate down I walk so long Down that road gone I feel nothing From above my feet I wonder do you  Have some faith Left in you Only if we drift Only hold, rotate down Where I do not know I feel, nothing

10 Answers Gonna give it Gonna limit you Gonna soldier Gonna turn myself in In prison Climb the red walls blue In dreams now I sleep here with you No limit If I'd just find my keys I’d go walking Under burning trees Maybe if you had the answers  I'd listen to you give me answers Surrender Put my hands down Walk over And give me a gun I'm running And working it through I'm moving In and out of you Forgive  me If this dream ain't true I'd wake up Here without you Maybe if you had the answers  I'd listen to you give me answers I'm an artist Paint a picture of you It's all wrong Your brown eyes are blue Light a candle Burn the picture too Your spirit Is smoke in my eyes You haunt me Without true goodbyes Forgive me For what did I do No mercy No mercy for you Maybe if you had the answers I'd listen to you give me answers

11 Life On the Wire You come in through The things we made (under the moon) Can't hold this (don't look down) Fallin through (my hands) Laid bodies down Weight one unwound The aerial receiver Breathes blue a little deeper  * And you'll wrap yourself around The wires from falling down For this time what's yours is mine You couldn't stay away from You couldn't stay away from this It's happening Can't turn away from Can't turn away from This is the night Signals crossed Lines not lost When danger's near * I stare through fear One wrong step I fall into the sky But I wouldn't have it Any other way, my dear Dancing on the wire Couldn't pull away from this You couldn't break away from this Couldn't turn away from this Fears fall, we fall into the night     * You couldn't turn away from this   * It's the beauty of perfection Life on the wire In the starry studded night Life on the wire It's the beauty of perfection Can't hold this What's yours is mine This is the night
