The Body 00:27

The Bones 02:13
You are a star falling in Reversed and collapsible I am the bones on you crawl Tethered, invincible We are the makers of ghosts That chase us in summertime Dear enemy, my seasonal friend I'll be with you until the end All of my secrets you know All my mistakes in a line I am the bones on you You said, "I am wounded And I don't want to hurt anymore" It's a crossed line not a victory sign And we'll just keep on smiling We'll just keep on smiling I am the bones on you crawl Tethered and invincible
3.
The bear he sits in silence Ponders his great loss Why no one understands him He's not one of us, not one of us He scratches at his eyelids Forgetting his sharp claws The cuts recall old stories Boys on the cross, boys on the cross "I need my friends around me My love and family I run on blood and instinct and all you have given me" The kill came oh so swiftly A blind-side, flash, surprise! There's danger every corner And fear in our eyes, fear in our eyes The king in his great fortress He needs someone to blame We're all just dust and worry Are we not the same, are we not the same?
4.
The town awakens To the sound of drums The scream is whispered But it never leaves the tongue The rats they gather And the mob descends To watch the bloody murder Of the brave and the innocent The wolf he leaves a trail Of his footsteps in the snow Tell them what you've done Tell them all you know For truth was never kind To the pioneers and thieves Tell them you still care Tell them you believe The witch is in the river And we are too late
5.
We'll go out dancing In fields of our childhood At night when they're sleeping Fly in through windows We'll walk across rooftops The streets we were made on We'll sing in the stairwells Love like our mothers Go down to the river Down to the river We'll build a fortress Black out the windows With walls to the skyline Walls to the skyline Without horizons
6.
He wanted to be martyred He needed to be king It's survival of the fittest Be damned your suffering The killer hides among us But look you have his gun The peasants in the city Will the gods become The clown has found a diamond His nimble fingers fit Beneath our burning island He chewed and toyed with it Our hearts are filled with poison Oh blessed are the sick Keep the peasants dying But god be done with it Homes like prisons Blood on our flags Home
7.
I didn't wanna trouble you I know you have your worries too But lately there's trouble getting me down I didn't wanna break your back I know you had enough of that But lately there's trouble getting me down She'll break my fall before I break it all Oh no, kill the ghosts I made so well "Steady on", she says "Put down that gun, I love you And all the rest can go to hell" I'm alright Don't you worry about my head I've been broken for so long
8.
You read me like a book But I ripped those pages out When my story took a turn for the worse When it all seemed useless And every night the harder I tried I could not fall asleep Sometimes I wanna burn this whole place down Better than it being the other way round It is the smell and it is the sound There's a black hole A black hole around the sun And I want you to know That I feel invisible So here is my uncensored storyboard The whole script With all of the scenes I should've edited out I disappeared they're telling me Your lion has a need to kill the bad things This is what they're telling me I cannot listen to the leaves When all the others sing
9.
There once was a soldier Who lived by the bottle Eyes like a shark Always ready for battle Pockets of silver All for his pleasure Never the stranger To fortune and glamour Never to fall, never to forsake All that he loves, all the mistakes Never meant to hurt anyone Chasing the moon, killing the sun The spark of the island Where he was ascending Such glory and wonder Amidst the pretending
10.
Wait for me lover The white horses rise The sun and moon surrender To the captain of the flies Yes you always taught me To forever be sincere Now my wicked head screams It's a carnival in here It's a carnival Witches in the river And we are too late The truth is you can have it all It just depends How far you're willing to fall
11.
Behold the terror Oh the wolf is at the door Behind that friendly smile A demon to the core And we can't run this time We can't run anymore You want to leave this town And move to the city Maybe you will feel better someday Maybe you can move on Maybe when all your ghosts are silent
