01 CALM DOWN

CALM DOWN, THIS IS NOT THE END
BUT THIS IS NOT THE WAY MY HEART SHOULD BEAT
BLOOD FLOWS TOO FAST, DARK SPELLS ARE CAST
CALM DOWN, I CAN’T STOP THE WORLD
FROM SPINNING WAY OUT OF CONTROL
BUT I’M LOSING SLEEP, I’M LOST AT SEA, CALM DOWN
CALM DOWN, THE SUN IS GONNA RISE
BELIEVE ME I’VE TRIED TO SLOW IT DOWN
NO WE CAN’T FIGHT THE FORCE OF GRAVITY SPINNING US AROUND
CALM DOWN, THIS IS NOT THE WAY THE STORY ENDS
EVEN THOUGH IT’S WRITTEN DOWN
EVEN THOUGH IT’S ALL PLANNED OUT, CALM DOWN
SO CALM DOWN JUST FOR A SECOND
TUNE OUT THE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD
THEY’RE A REFLECTION, A DISCONNECTION
SO CALM DOWN, THE SUN IS GONNA RISE, DON’T COVER YOUR EYES, LET THE LIGHT IN
OPEN UP THE SKY, WAIT FOR EVERYTHING TO STOP SPINNING
WAIT FOR THE NIGHT TIME, WAIT FOR THE SUNSHINE, WAIT FOR THE STARS TO COLLIDE, WAIT FOR THE LOW TIDE, WAIT TILL IT FEELS RIGHT, WAIT FOR THE SKY TO OPEN WIDE, WAIT FOR THE RIGHT DOSE, WAIT FOR THE DOOR TO CLOSE, WAIT FOR THE STORM TO END, WAIT FOR A SECOND CHANCE, WAIT FOR A LAST DANCE, WAIT FOR AROUND THE BEND, WAIT FOR THE GOODBYE, WAIT FOR THE REWRITE, WAIT FOR TIME TO SLOW DOWN, WAIT FOR THE PAPERBACK, WAIT FOR THE EARTH TO CRACK, WAIT FOR THE HERE AND NOW, WAIT FOR THE RETHINK, WAIT FOR A STIFF DRINK, WAIT FOR A DIFFERENT VIEW, WAIT FOR THE FIRE, WAIT FOR THE FALL APART, CALM DOWN
CALM DOWN, THE SUN IS GONNA RISE, DON’T COVER YOUR EYES, LET THE LIGHT IN
OPEN UP THE SKY, WAIT FOR EVERYTHING TO STOP SPINNING

02 ANATOMIC

THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME, THIS ISN’T THE LAST TIME
THIS ISN’T WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ANYWAY
A MILLION YEARS AGO IT WAS A SLOW SHOW
BUT I DIDN’T KNOW, NO I DIDN’T KNOW, NO I DIDN’T KNOW
VOICES IN YOUR HEAD SAY EVERYTHING YOU DON’T WANNA HEAR
DON’T BELIEVE ‘EM
I WOULDN’T TELL YOU A LIE
THIS IS ANATOMIC
THIS IS AN ATOMIC BOMB
IT FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME, IT FEELS LIKE THE LAST TIME
IT FEELS LIKE EVERY TIME I BOTTLE UP AND EXPLODE
VOICES IN MY HEAD SAY EVERYTHING I DON’T WANNA HEAR
SO I SHUT ‘EM UP WITH A SHOT OF OVERHOLT
I WOULDN’T TELL YOU A LIE
THIS IS ANATOMIC
THIS IS AN ATOMIC BOMB

03 THE START OF EVERYTHING

FOLLOW ME THROUGH THE TREES AND THROUGH THE FALLING LEAVES
WE ARE AMATEUR THIEVES WITH TREMBLING HANDS
WE’LL STEAL AWAY NOT LOOKING BACK FOR ANYTHING
WE’RE A KING AND QUEEN WITHOUT A PLAN
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?
LIVE IT IN BLACK AND WHITE DAY AFTER DAY?
YOU AND I WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO BE TOGETHER
WE ARE BIRDS OF A FEATHER, WE’LL FLY AWAY
HERE WE ARE AT THE START OF EVERYTHING WE’VE NEVER KNOWN
THE UNIVERSE IS A GRAIN OF SAND
HERE WE ARE AT THE END OF EVERYTHING THAT WE’VE BEEN TOLD
THE UNIVERSE IS IN YOUR HAND
(DONT LET ME GO LET ME GO LET ME GO LET ME GO)
LET’S FIND A PLACE INVISIBLE WHERE NO ONE SEES
THE THINGS THAT WE MIGHT BE, THEY’LL NEVER KNOW
IN THE END WE’LL FLOAT OVER THE WIDEST SEA ON A WESTWARD BREEZE DRINKING BORDEAUX
HERE WE ARE AT THE START OF EVERYTHING WE’VE NEVER KNOWN
THE UNIVERSE IS A GRAIN OF SAND
HERE WE ARE AT THE END OF EVERYTHING THAT WE’VE BEEN TOLD
THE UNIVERSE IS IN YOUR HAND
(DONT LET ME GO LET ME GO LET ME GO LET ME GO)
LET’S FIND A PLACE INVISIBLE WHERE NO ONE SEES
THE THINGS THAT WE MIGHT BE, THEY’LL NEVER KNOW

04 IT'S WHAT I DO

EVERY TIME YOU LOOK FOR ME YOU KNOW I THINK I MIGHT DISAPPEAR
EVERY TIME I LOOK FOR YOU I KNOW THE BRIGHT LIGHTS INTERFERE
‘CAUSE I’M NOT THE KIND THAT’S SO EASY TO FIND WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ME
YOU’RE NOT THE KIND WITH THE SALT WATER EYES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
SO TAKE MY HAND,WE ARE THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND
NO I DON’T HAVE A PLAN, SO LET’S GO WHERE THE SEA MEETS THE SKY
NOW WE'RE GONNA FLOAT AWAY
EVERYTHING I WANT TO SAY TO YOU GETS WASHED AWAY DOWNSTREAM
EVERYTHING I WANT TO GIVE TO YOU IS A SHADE OF BLUE OR GREEN
I’M NOT THE KIND TO DRAW STRAIGHT LINES IN THE DESERT SAND
YOU’RE NOT THE KIND WITH PEACE OF MIND AND A GUN IN YOUR HAND
SO TAKE MY HAND, WE ARE THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND
NOW I THINK I HAVE A PLAN, YEAH LET’S GO WHERE THE SEA MEETS THE SKY
NOW WE'RE GONNA FLOAT AWAY
I SAW A BLUE LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (IT WAS COMING FROM YOU)
DIDN’T THINK TWICE, PAID THE PRICE (IT’S WHAT I DO)
SO I CAUGHT MY BREATH AND I CLOSED MY EYES (TO GET ANOTHER VIEW)
I TRY TO SPEAK WITHOUT A SOUND (IT’S WHAT I DO)
THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AS THE SEASONS CHANGED (FALL IS HERE AGAIN)
YOU’RE OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN (IT’S WHAT YOU DO)
I INVITE YOU IN, CLOSE THE DOOR, LOCK IT UP TIGHT
SING A SONG TO ME WITH YOUR EYES (IT’S WHAT YOU DO)
SO TAKE MY HAND, WE ARE THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND
NOW I KNOW I HAVE A PLAN, LET’S GO WHERE THE SEA MEETS THE SKY
NOW WE'RE GONNA FLOAT AWAY
I SAW A BLUE LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (IT WAS COMING FROM YOU)
DIDN’T THINK TWICE, PAID THE PRICE (IT’S WHAT I DO)
SO I CAUGHT MY BREATH AND I CLOSED MY EYES (TO GET ANOTHER VIEW)
I TRY TO SPEAK WITHOUT A SOUND (IT’S WHAT I DO)
THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AS THE SEASONS CHANGED (FALL IS HERE AGAIN)
YOU’RE OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN (IT’S WHAT YOU DO)
I INVITE YOU IN, CLOSE THE DOOR, LOCK IT UP TIGHT
SING A SONG TO ME WITH YOUR EYES (IT’S WHAT YOU DO)
YOU’RE NOT THE KIND WITH THE SALT WATER EYES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA

05 NOT READY

I TOOK A PILL BUT I JUST DON’T FEEL IT
I TOOK A SWIM BUT I SANK SO QUICKLY
I TOOK A BREATH STILL THE PANIC GOT ME
I TOOK A SWING ‘CAUSE I’M NOT READY TO GO
I MIGHT HAVE FOUND YOU JUST IN TIME
I MIGHT HAVE SPOKEN OUT OF LINE
I MIGHT HAVE DRANK A LITTLE TOO MUCH WINE
I MIGHT JUST TAKE YOUR HAND ‘CAUSE I’M NOT READY (TO GO)
I KNOW YOU ARE ON MY SIDE
IF I GO, WELL AT LEAST WE TRIED
WHEN THIS WORLD STARTS CAVING IN
WE’LL KICK OUR FEET UP WITH A BOTTLE OF GIN
WHERE ARE WE? SOME NEW PLACE I DON’T KNOW?
WHAT IF WE TRY TO TURN AROUND AND GO
BACK TO THAT PLACE WE CALL HOME
JUST HOLD ME ‘CAUSE I’M NOT READY TO GO
I’M GONNA TAKE A BREATH OUT OF SPITE
I’M GONNA RUN AROUND AND TURN OFF ALL THE LIGHTS
I’M GONNA HOLD YOU A LITTLE TOO TIGHT
I’M GONNA SCREAM ‘CAUSE I’M NOT READY TO GO
I KNOW YOU ARE ON MY SIDE
IF I GO, WELL AT LEAST WE TRIED
WHEN THIS WORLD STARTS CAVING IN
WE’LL KICK OUR FEET UP WITH A BOTTLE OF GIN
WHERE ARE WE? SOME NEW PLACE I DON’T KNOW?
WHAT IF WE TRY TO TURN AROUND AND GO
BACK TO THAT PLACE WE CALL HOME
JUST HOLD ME ‘CAUSE I’M NOT READY TO GO

06 IN A SHADOW

SOMETIMES I SEE YOU IN A SHADOW, I GUESS THAT’S WHERE I’M GONNA KEEP YOU
GOTTA LEAVE MYSELF A REASON ‘CAUSE I CAN’T PRETEND THAT I’M NOT BREATHING
WHEN I TRY TO LEAVE YOU ALONE (NO I CAN’T LEAVE YOU ALONE)
YOUR SHADOW FOLLOWS ME AROUND, I TRY TO MAKE MY HEART SLOW DOWN
TURN ON THE LIGHTS YOU DISAPPEAR, THIS IS MY INVISIBLE SOUVENIR
YOU KNOW I’D DO ANYTHING FOR YOU, PLEASE JUST DON’T ASK ME TO LEAVE YOU
JUST DON’T ASK ME TO LEAVE YOU ALONE
WHEN I TRY TO LEAVE YOU ALONE (NO I CAN’T LEAVE YOU ALONE)
YOUR SHADOW FOLLOWS ME AROUND, I TRY TO MAKE MY HEART SLOW DOWN
TURN ON THE LIGHTS YOU DISAPPEAR, THIS IS MY INVISIBLE SOUVENIR
SOMETIMES I SEE YOU IN A SHADOW, I GUESS THAT’S WHERE I’M GONNA KEEP YOU

07 PORCELAIN

YOU’RE PORCELAIN, I’M DRY CONCRETE
YOU’RE THE LIGHT AHEAD, I’M OBSOLETE
YOU’RE CRYSTAL CLEAR, I’M SO OPAQUE
YOU’RE A LUNAR YEAR, I’M A FADE AWAY
THERE’S A DEVIL ON MY LEFT ALWAYS YELLING AT ME
THERE’S AN ANGEL ON MY RIGHT TRYING TO SET ME FREE
EVEN THOUGH I’M STUCK IN BETWEEN, THERE’S NOTHING THAT I’M NEEDING WITH YOU
YOU HAVE THE BALLROOM DANCE AND I, I HAVE THE BARROOM FIGHT
AND WE, WE HAVE THE REST OF THE NIGHT TO PULL DOWN ALL THE STARS FROM THE SKY
YOU’RE THE WORLD OUTSIDE, I’M AN ATTIC ROOM
YOU'RE THE BREATH ON A MOUNTAINSIDE, I’M A CHEAP PERFUME
YEAH YOU’RE PROBABLY RIGHT, I’M A WILD GUESS
YOU’RE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS, I’M A COLORLESS MESS
THERE’S A DEVIL ON MY LEFT ALWAYS YELLING AT ME
THERE’S AN ANGEL ON MY RIGHT TRYING TO SET ME FREE
EVEN THOUGH I’M STUCK IN BETWEEN THERE’S NOTHING THAT I’M NEEDING WITH YOU
YOU HAVE THE BALLROOM DANCE AND I, I HAVE THE BARROOM FIGHT
AND WE, WE HAVE THE REST OF THE NIGHT TO PULL DOWN ALL THE STARS FROM THE SKY

08 RADIO SILENCE

HELLO? IS ANYBODY THERE? ALL I HEAR IS RADIO SILENCE
NO? I GUESS I’M ALONE, I’M RIGHT HERE IN MY RADIO SILENCE
I’LL JUST TALK TO MYSELF OR I’LL SCREAM OUT IN DEFIANCE
THERE’S A STATIC, CONSTANT TRAFFIC, METAL AND PLASTIC IN MY HEAD
YOU KNOW I NEED THE SOUND OF THE SNOW
GOT MY WIRES CROSSED, MY CONNECTION'S LOST, JUST WHITE NOISE ON THE LINE
YOU KNOW I NEED THE SOUND OF THE SNOW
WHEN I SINK UNDER WATER I HEAR THE CALL OF THE SIRENS
WHEN I PUT MY HANDS UP TO MY EARS ALL I WANT IS RADIO SILENCE
THERE’S A STATIC, CONSTANT TRAFFIC, METAL AND PLASTIC IN MY HEAD
YOU KNOW I NEED THE SOUND OF THE SNOW
GOT MY WIRES CROSSED, MY CONNECTION'S LOST, JUST WHITE NOISE ON THE LINE
YOU KNOW I NEED THE SOUND OF THE SNOW
‘CAUSE THERE’S A STATIC, CONSTANT TRAFFIC, METAL AND PLASTIC IN MY HEAD
YOU KNOW I LOVE THE SOUND OF THE SNOW
I NEED THE LOSS OF SOUND TO COME UNWOUND AND BRING ME BACK TO YOU
YOU KNOW I LOVE THE SOUND OF THE SNOW
WITH SNOW AROUND IT SOUNDS LIKE WE ARE ISLANDS
NOW THAT WE’RE ALONE LET’S TURN ON RADIO SILENCE
RADIO SILENCE

09 SLIP AWAY

SHE WEARS A BLACK DRESS WHEN I LAY DOWN AND I TURN OFF ALL THE LIGHTS
AND THEN SHE SITS DOWN BY MY BED WITH PEN AND PAPER SHE STARTS TO WRITE
THEN I SEE HER LOOK AT ME, SO I CLOSE MY EYES AND LET HER BE
COLORS ALL SPIN ‘ROUND MY HEAD LIKE A KALEIDOSCOPE I KNOW
VOICES THAT I LONG TO HEAR RING IN MY EARS LIKE A RADIO SHOW
SHE CREATES A WORLD WHERE WE CAN FALL IN LOVE, WE GET IN FIGHTS, WE FLY AROUND THE CLOUDS
BUT WHEN WE’RE FALLING FROM THE SKY DOWN TO THE UNKNOWN I SCREAM OUT LOUD
I KNOW THIS PROCESS VERY WELL, TO MY CONSCIOUSNESS FAREWELL
YEAH I KNOW MY METHOD VERY WELL, LET MY DARK WITCH CAST HER SPELL ON ME
IN THE TIME IT TAKES FOR ME TO FADE IN, I WILL FADE AWAY
(YEAH I’M GONNA SLIP AWAY)
IN THE PLACE YOU FIND ME, I MIGHT NOT BE THERE ANOTHER DAY
(YEAH I’M GONNA SLIP AWAY)
EVERYTHING YOU THINK OF ME, YOU'LL NOT THINK OF ME QUITE THE SAME
(NOW I’M GONNA SLIP AWAY)
EVERY TIME YOU PUT THE FIRE OUT, I'LL BE YOUR BRIGHTEST FLAME
(NOW I’M GONNA SLIP AWAY)

10 LET YOU DOWN

YOU'RE SOMEWHERE IN THE FOREST, I'M SOMEWHERE UNDERNEATH THE SEA
YOU DON'T NEED SHELTER, I DON'T REALLY NEED TO BREATHE
SO DRIFT DOWN THE RIVER, TO THE SEA AND THE SETTING SUN
A TOUCH AND A SHIVER AND A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION
I’M GONNA LET YOU DOWN EVENTUALLY
I’M GONNA LET YOU DOWN SO COMPLETELY
I’M GONNA LET YOU DOWN, STICK AROUND AND SEE
I’M GONNA LET YOU DOWN
LET’S GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY
WE'RE SOMEWHERE IN THE FOREST, WE'RE SOMEWHERE UNDERNEATH THE SEA
WE'VE BUILT QUITE A FORTRESS, WE'VE COME UP TO THE SURFACE TO BREATHE
THE PAST NEVER CHANGES, THE PRESENT MAKES US REMINISCE
THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN BUT I KNOW IT GOES A LITTLE LIKE THIS
YOU’RE GONNA LET ME DOWN EVENTUALLY
YOU’RE GONNA LET ME DOWN SO COMPLETELY
YOU’RE GONNA LET ME DOWN, I’LL STICK AROUND AND SEE
YOU’RE GONNA LET ME DOWN
LET’S GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY
