Winter Halo 05:23
Can we waltz in the wind with our hair wet Lord, let us bask in one more morning dew And make love beneath silver sky moonlight See my emerald eye pierce through (It's looking at you) Have you ever tried quitting while you're ahead The ticking hands are the Devil's work Oh and can you hear them beckon us down the red ribbon road We offer peace with a smirk (We're here to worship the dead) And all these Peter Pans still shooting coke up their nose Searching for some sense of harmony Ticket to Neverland to dance the dance of delusion Co exist in modus vivendi (Where nobody seeks to grow) The flugelhorn has blown its last call As the spear of the hand penetrates the other Oh his eyes start to fade and blood stains my lips Yet somehow we've saved one another (And only in death do we fall)

Scarecrow 04:40
I've been screaming This whole time with my lips sewn In this pop-up show Now I'm taking the high road Seek your treasure In this fractured mind Have a good look inside I'm barely alive If I could leave tomorrow with grace Cash in without a trace No need to talk to you again My love, my forbidden I bet you wouldn't even remember my name You used to come by the house And be so tender It was in late December I don't think you'll remember But now that my friends are gone And my family have all walked away Now that my bottle is empty Your pain is my remedy If I could leave tomorrow with grace Cash in without a trace No need to talk to you again My love, my forbidden I bet you wouldn't even remember my name I bet you wouldn't even remember my name I've been screaming This whole time with my lips sewn In this pop-up show With nowhere to go Just a tired and old scarecrow

And if a car came around this corner And knocked his old gal over He would say this is just another trope Even though it ain't no skin off his nose Time to sleep Time to sleep All passing moments like swirls of cigarette smoke Futile pleasures in exchange for being broke Ageing faces and tones we don't recall Vacancy will come to take us all Time to sleep Time to sleep Time to sleep Time to sleep

Cliffhanger 03:39
Just be with me in this corner Where time is on our side Journey to the border Where boundaries are redefined We are the book that no-one's read I'll dangle from your cliff and let my fingertips slip Maybe in the next life, my friend I'll meet you at the borderline And know that wherever you go And whatever you do I'll be somewhere going crazy for you I'll be somewhere going crazy for you
