Memento Mori 02:51
Strict tempo Midnight flowers Fragrant in The wild wind Glitter queen Torch song children Vanitas Orchid beauty Memento mori Memento mori Memento mori Put your drag on Cheeks pearlescent There's a strange taste On your tongue Ballerinas On hot coals Ribs like fine Porcelain bone china Memento mori Memento mori Memento mori

It's a jungle Mon amour A 3 chord symphony And we've all played Our part And we've all got broken hearts We were the bright lights Now were the silhouettes We were the bright lights Now were the silhouettes It's a freakshow Mon amour On a ghost train To nowhere Raised in shadows On silver screens We've all got Dead dreams We were the bright lights Now were the silhouettes We were the bright lights Now were the silhouettes It's a masquerade Mon amour An illusion Smoke and mirrors We're the stingless Marionettes And we've all got regrets We were the bright lights Now were the silhouettes We were the bright lights Now were the silhouettes We were the bright lights We were the bright lights

Sorry 02:59
Oh my beautiful boy We left you that night Among the urinals And other life stained altars Oh my beautiful boy You watched life go by The rough and the holy The stitched and the scarred And I'm sorry boy I'm sorry We never heard your song Yes I'm sorry boy I'm sorry That no one sang along Oh oh oh Oh my beautiful girl You had dreams of leaving And when they found you You'd got a prayer stuck in you side And I'm sorry girl I'm sorry We never heard your song Yes I'm sorry girl I'm sorry That no one sang along Oh oh oh And I'm sorry boy I'm sorry And I'm sorry girl I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry

No Red Light 03:23
What's the matter boy What's the matter with you There's a hole in the world Where your life slipped through What's the matter boy You're like a lad insane You hide yourself away Until the night time tide No warning No red light Never see it coming Never see it coming No warning No red light Never see it coming Never see it coming What's the matter boy There's nothing in those eyes Is it just because You're on your own tonight No warning No red light Never see it coming Never see it coming No warning No red light Never see it coming Never see it coming What's the matter boy What's the matter boy

Johnny walked out Into the crosshairs Johnny walked out Into the slipstream Johnny walked out Johnny walked out Into the violent Into the white noise And laser beams Johnny Johnny Johnny walked out Into the specters Smelling of roses Wires and ozone Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny walked out Johnny walked out Johnny walked out Johnny

Geraniums 03:24
In the side show At the deep end By the sale signs Phosphorescent In the pools of Sodium light In the pools of Sodium light In the silence The cherry blossom Fall so softly To the pavement In the pools of Sodium light In the pools of Sodium light And forever We bleed the colors Of council bed Geraniums In the pools of Sodium light In the pools of Sodium light

Is your head ringed with stars Did you hit the ground hard Are you hiding your scars Are you losing your edge Do you sink like a stone Are you cut to the bone Is the pressure too much Are you waiting for god Are you lonely tonight Are you hurting tonight Do you hang by the thread Are you missing the dead
