Safe on the shore
I've been sleeping
Faced by the thoughts
I've been keeping
To break down the door
Of my life
I need more texture
You need to give me more texture, texture, texture
You need to give me more texture
So deep inside
I've been dreaming
In a space too
Confined, too concealing
It's a race to remind
You of days
I can fight ?
You need to give me more texture, texture, texture
You need to give me more
To break down the door
Of my life
I need more texture
You need to give me more
You need to give me more
Texture, texture, texture
You need to give me more texture, texture

I Want To Touch You
I always thought the way you talked was neat
And I dream that when you speak, you speak to me
But you're always out of reach
And I can't control my speech
And I'm scared that when we meet I'll want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
You're the only soul inside that makes me shake
And the crazy senseless things you made me take
It would really make my day
If you'd only move away
'Cause I'm scared that if you stay I'll want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
But you're always out of reach
And I can't control my speech
And I'm scared that when we meet
I'm fermenting, can't you see?
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
Touch you, touch you, touch you, touch you, touch you
And I dream that when you speak, you speak to me
But you're always out of reach
And I can't control my speech
And I'm scared that when we meet I'll want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
You're the only soul inside that makes me shake
And the crazy senseless things you made me take
It would really make my day
If you'd only move away
'Cause I'm scared that if you stay I'll want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
But you're always out of reach
And I can't control my speech
And I'm scared that when we meet
I'm fermenting, can't you see?
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
Touch you, touch you, touch you, touch you, touch you

Black Metallic
I've never seen you when you're smiling
It really gets under my skin
You say it's easy when it's faster
I still can't guess what you're after
It's the color of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the color of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
I think of you when you're sleeping
Of all the secrets that you're keeping
You can't stay all day under the covers
'Cause under there you'll discover
It's the color of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the color of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic
It's the color of your skin
It's the color of your skin

Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic
It's the color of your skin
Your skin is black metallic

It really gets under my skin
You say it's easy when it's faster
I still can't guess what you're after
It's the color of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the color of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
I think of you when you're sleeping
Of all the secrets that you're keeping

Indigo Is Blue
Up from the place where I start
Is a message that you bring
Dashed aside and torn apart
Apologizing as I rise
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes
The shame
I'm never really what I say
I'm looking 'round for something new
To chase the eagerness away
I use the energy to stay
Slowly falling as I fade
Indigo is blue
Indigo is blue
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
I fade away
Is a message that you bring
Dashed aside and torn apart
Apologizing as I rise
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes
The shame
I'm never really what I say
I'm looking 'round for something new
To chase the eagerness away
I use the energy to stay
Slowly falling as I fade
Indigo is blue
Indigo is blue
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
I fade away

Shes My Friend
I'm only waiting 'cause she won't care
She now shuts the shallow ?
Hide the taste that's always there ?
I can say she makes no sense
My dreams are drawn on no much ?
'Cause she's my friend
'Cause she's my friend
'Cause she's my friend, oh
'Cause she's my friend, oh
'Cause she's my friend, oh
'Cause she's my friend
I found you in a cavern in my sleep
But I'm walking over gravel
Formed in blisters on my feet
You give me all the reasons that make no sense
I only choose to be here
'Cause she's my friend
'Cause she's my friend
'Cause she's my friend, oh
'Cause she's my friend, oh
'Cause she's my friend, oh
'Cause she's my friend
Oh oh oh oh
'Cause she's my friend, oh oh oh oh
'Cause she's my friend, oh oh oh oh
'Cause she's my friend, oh oh oh oh
'Cause she's my friend, oh oh oh
She now shuts the shallow ?
Hide the taste that's always there ?
I can say she makes no sense
My dreams are drawn on no much ?
'Cause she's my friend
'Cause she's my friend
'Cause she's my friend, oh
'Cause she's my friend, oh
'Cause she's my friend, oh
'Cause she's my friend
I found you in a cavern in my sleep
But I'm walking over gravel
Formed in blisters on my feet
You give me all the reasons that make no sense
I only choose to be here

Shallow
You're wasting time
Time to shake and throw down
But I can't fight
You are the one to say goodbye
And when you shout my mouth is dry
Only when you try
Is your shallow water running high
You know what's inside
So glad to see
You take my hand between your knees
And once inside
I'll only take the things that shine
You always said those things were mine
You only said goodbye
When your shallow water got too high
You know what's inside
Only when you try
Because your shallow water growing high
You know what's inside
You know what's inside
You know what's inside
Time to shake and throw down
But I can't fight
You are the one to say goodbye
And when you shout my mouth is dry
Only when you try
Is your shallow water running high
You know what's inside
So glad to see
You take my hand between your knees
And once inside
I'll only take the things that shine
You always said those things were mine
You only said goodbye
When your shallow water got too high
You know what's inside
Only when you try
Because your shallow water growing high
You know what's inside
You know what's inside
You know what's inside

Ferment
Sugar in the heart is burning
Sweetened lips and eyes are glowing
All the things you take are spinning 'round
Such a waste but you can't taste
What's coming down
All the time you say
You can turn this movie around
Needle stings and blisters breaking
Swinging moods and conscious fading
All the things you dream are spinning 'round
Always it seems to bring you, bring you down
Any time you say
You can turn this movie around
You can turn this movie around
Ferment
Ferment
Ferment
Ferment
The dream is always fixed ???
Sugar faceless when sweetness wakes ????
Ferment
Fermenting fermenting fermenting oh
Light your fading light
Ferment your life
Your fading light
Ferment your life
Fermenting fermenting fermenting
Sweetened lips and eyes are glowing
All the things you take are spinning 'round
Such a waste but you can't taste
What's coming down
All the time you say
You can turn this movie around
Needle stings and blisters breaking
Swinging moods and conscious fading
All the things you dream are spinning 'round
Always it seems to bring you, bring you down
Any time you say
You can turn this movie around
You can turn this movie around

Flower To Hide
So make it shine
No need to fight
Or make it hard on me
Or make it glow
No need to show you this time
Or make it easy
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
It colours everything you do
And I know
A flower fading far too soon
So think of a time
That's something to cling to
Imagine a light
That never escapes you
Conceived behind
The colour above you
A flower to hide
A violet surprise
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
It colours everything you do
And I know
A flower fading far too soon
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
It colours everything you do
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
A flower fading far too soon
No need to fight
Or make it hard on me
Or make it glow
No need to show you this time
Or make it easy
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
It colours everything you do
And I know
A flower fading far too soon
So think of a time
That's something to cling to
Imagine a light
That never escapes you
Conceived behind
The colour above you
A flower to hide
A violet surprise
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
It colours everything you do
And I know
A flower fading far too soon
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
It colours everything you do
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
A flower fading far too soon

Tumbledown
Shout just to make it clear
So loud so as you don't hear
That I made no sound
The second time around
The first time around
So smooth just to show you care
You built a new mountain there
That I tumble down
The very first time around
The very first time around
The very first time around
I let you sink
How high life could do
But you dropped me down
The very first time around
The very first time around
The very first time around
(are you in love with someone else)
(let me tumble down)
So loud so as you don't hear
That I made no sound
The second time around
The first time around
So smooth just to show you care
You built a new mountain there
That I tumble down
The very first time around
The very first time around
The very first time around
I let you sink
How high life could do
But you dropped me down
The very first time around
The very first time around
The very first time around
(are you in love with someone else)
(let me tumble down)

Bill and Ben
You're saying far too much
Your thoughts will twist and touch
You're killing time in your dark ???
That's coming down
Ah that's coming down
Ah
You are young and full of heart
You are real but you are torn apart
It's taking all my time
How many days to fight
Just staring up at the sun
That's coming down
Ah that's coming down
Ah
You are young and full of heart
You are wise and you are torn ???
You are real but torn apart
You are losing
You are young and full of heart
You are wise and you are torn ???
It looks like you but looks you may ???
You are real but you are torn apart
Ah
Ah
Your thoughts will twist and touch
You're killing time in your dark ???
That's coming down
Ah that's coming down
Ah
You are young and full of heart
You are real but you are torn apart
It's taking all my time
How many days to fight
Just staring up at the sun
That's coming down
Ah that's coming down
Ah
You are young and full of heart
You are wise and you are torn ???
You are real but torn apart
You are losing
You are young and full of heart
You are wise and you are torn ???
It looks like you but looks you may ???
You are real but you are torn apart
Ah

Salt
Oh safe towards yourself
She wants you with all your heart
Between the always spinning rides
I slowly roll and seem to fly
The taste of salt and spinning ice
The taste of you it brings me high
We miss your shine
It's always time
It's always time
Oh we're only salt
We're only salt
We're only salt
It always felt like suicide
It always takes my life inside
To say I might, to say I will
The hardest part the heart is real
We miss your shine
It's only time
It's only time
It's only salt
It's only seas
It's only time
It's only time
I want to see myself in time
We miss your shine
It's only time
It's only time
She wants you with all your heart
Between the always spinning rides
I slowly roll and seem to fly
The taste of salt and spinning ice
The taste of you it brings me high
We miss your shine
It's always time
It's always time
Oh we're only salt
We're only salt
We're only salt
It always felt like suicide
It always takes my life inside
To say I might, to say I will
The hardest part the heart is real
We miss your shine
It's only time
It's only time
It's only salt
It's only seas
It's only time
It's only time
I want to see myself in time
We miss your shine
It's only time
It's only time
