Wish 04:54
I wish that you could take my broken brain - Crush these thoughts, make them go away. But I know that you've taken all you can take, and I've nothing left to give. When you take my hand, you don't feel the same, it's not the same anymore. I wish that you could take my aching breast - tie up the live wires, fill up my chest. I know that you've taken all you can take, and I've nothing left to give. When you look into my eyes, you don't seem the same, you're not same anymore. I miss you when you're away, but even more when you're home. I wish things could have stayed the same but my wishes ain't that strong.

Sleepy 02:53
Sleepy, so very sleepy. Don't take my hands away, I wouldn't let go if I were awake. Peacefully, so very peacefully. Hear those boats go blow their horn, try to send us away... Your embrace seems enough to keep me here on this plane. In my midnight travels, Dear, know that I'll be back again. And one day you and I will awake, to find everything as it was. But I wonder if those boats will still sound just for us...

Ghost Queen 03:28
I will only wait for you if you're willing to be free. And if you ever get here, imma need you to promise me - if you ever leave her you'll do so quietly and leave behind your love, the love you gave - and leave behind the love you gave. In your dreams I haunt a room, even you can't lock the door. I'll slip over the transom and secure my place as your paramour. And in this vapor state, your hands are hard to hold - and my hands feel so dreadful cold. I will be your ghost queen if you will be my king. I will never let you go, and you will stop remembering - you will stop remembering.

You wait to see your fate, I hold it in my hands like tiny grains of sand. The hour is getting late, we fill each second till it drags on the floor, sun comes up you ask for more. You ask for more, and i give it all, and so I give it all away. I chase you to the end, I chase you to the End of the World. Punk rock steeples, green light prayers, release unfold. We soak in the edge, powers that heal, powers that storm. Sunlight settles, dark beach crumbles and then it's gone. Then it's gone, and I give it all, I give it all away. When it's numb, then it sparks, and it's white light shot through my skull. I'm in here, your voice is far and close, I feel it deep under my skin, under my skin. You wait to see your fate, I hold it in my hands like tiny grains of sand. The hour is spent and drained and every second that slips away pierce through our skin, a million holes let all light in. Let all light in then we give it all, we give it all away.

Micah 05:53
Sometimes my mind gets twisted around your face. I see you standing there, wasted and maimed. Only in this song you are my idol and I wish you well, if not for my own selfish sake. Stay away for your own good and mine. Only in this song do I tout your name. You are a ghost, you are a god, you are gone. And in a simple, sad way I think I could have loved you. Now we'll never know until we meet again. Micah -- stay away, for your own good and mine. I wish you well. I wish you well.
