Pleasure Island 03:18
lyrics
When life has knocked you on the ground And you're not sleeping safe and sound Join us on a private retreat Games to play, and food to eat Lay back and kick up your feet And you won't worry 'bout a thing Be, whoever you are Whatever you want, no matter how far You can be happy, you can be free A place for you, a place for me Think of all you'd be leaving behind Spending all of your time on Pleasure Island Think of those who trust you the most You'll turn into a ghost on Pleasure Island No one is making you stay here Only your worries and your fears Afraid that you'll never be right for anyone Afraid that you'll never keep calm and carry on Afraid of everything you know you can be sometimes

Empty Conversation 04:17
lyrics

It’s starting to feel like I'm being ignored It’s starting to feel like you're getting bored Nothing's new, how about you It’s starting to feel like the well's run dry It’s starting to feel like you know why Nothing's changed, same old game Stimulation and stagnation Make for empty conversation Different goals in education Bring an end to the relationship It’s starting to feel like I need to move on It’s starting to feel like I did something wrong Recognize, realize It’s starting to feel like we went too fast It’s starting to feel like this was never gonna last Future plans, all been canned Empty conversation Empty conversation Empty conversation Now it’s all over

The Mirror 04:09
lyrics
I need my own little secret place I need somewhere to hide my face I need somewhere I can be all by myself I need someone who really cares I need someone who's just and fair I need to talk to my reflection Is there something that you need to say Don't worry I'm here all day I'll listen as you rant and ramble And I'll never go away Is there something on your mind Say it now, don’t waste my time Because only you can talk to me I've got too many things to say They make all my friends go away Just some self-control would go a long way Sometimes I want to scream at my friends I feel the madness just never ends I'm just trying to keep myself occupied You worked so hard And you got so far But you only Thought for yourself Only fought for yourself Now you’re lonely

So Long, Astronaut 03:24
lyrics
Incandescent, fills the room Glowing brighter, than the moon As her toes touch the ground Nothing else makes a sound Landing nicely on the floor Windows shut, an open door Reveals a blast of light Bright enough to end the night So long, astronaut Hold on to what you've got Radiating, blinding beam Feels like she's, from a dream Dancing to a beat that's hers Dancing to the universe Cloaks the sky in sunshine rays Granting her forever day And peace of mind Never has to leave her world behind So long, astronaut Hold on to what you've got Flying, across the sky Flying, flashing light In my eye You're still going strong You can do this all night long Sweet dreams, astronaut Sleep through your final thoughts

Perfect Red 04:12
lyrics
It's a shame, we could've made it last But no, it had to come and go too fast We couldn't understand each other's crazy ways Couldn’t find the exit in the maze But still I see past your quirks and tricks Still I know just what makes you tick It doesn't have to be a honeymoon at all Maybe we misread the writing on the wall You're gonna lose your mind Looking for the perfect red Dance in the darkness with me tonight Don't regret your words unsaid You're gonna lose your mind Looking for the perfect white Face the music, darling Don't hold your hand out to the light There's always room for second chances New words to say, new romances From dusk to dawn and back to dusk again What rises from the ashes will never end

Don't Chase That Feeling 02:57
lyrics
When you feel like you’re running on empty And your battery has dropped to zero You’re trapped between a rock and a hard place And it’s clear that you’re nobody’s hero You could play your cards right And still you'll fold You might win best in show And regret it when you've grown old You're out of money and you're stuck on the corner Maybe a stranger will take you home But the air is starting to feel colder You're seeing crystals on the traffic cones You could play your cards right And still you'll fold You might win silver in the human race And lament that you didn't get gold Don't chase that feeling Don't follow your dreams The weight of living will break your heart Don't chase that feeling Don't take your chances The weight of existence will tear you apart Hard rain is falling and you're slipping in puddles You forgot to bring your good pair of boots You lie face down in the middle of the street Because at this point what have you got to lose? You could play your cards right And still you'll fold You might not miss your childhood But you’ll regret it when it's all been sold I thought I'd be something more than this I thought I'd be somewhere else by now I thought I'd be living life to the fullest Didn't think this was how it was gonna go down But somehow in the end, you Try to get back on your feet Blindly unaware of all the Horrible fates that you could meet

The Cadillac Calendar 03:15
lyrics
Send back the Cadillac calendar It's not the life I have in mind Hours trapped in a cubicle where I left my dreams behind Maybe there’s a world for me But right now there’s nothing as far as my eyes can see Who knows what the future holds As long as I’m in it, it’s good as gold Just don’t leave me to freeze out in the cold Black lace and novels on the nightstand Don’t let her get too close to your heart Your life’s a mess and anyone can tear it all apart Change your name and start anew At this point, what else is there to do? What is there left to do? Why waste the Earth for my grave No universe where I could be saved Let my body drift along the waves
