I'm not listening to any other moment besides my own Mired in a flood Fire in my blood OK? You can't try to live (come on, let's be new again) In any other moment but (come on, let's be new again) Memories stamped on backs of hands Wash away our mundane plans Turn it off, turn me up Deconstruct to reconstruct 'cause I'm not listening
2.
Four A.M. 04:02
When love is standing in the room, everybody's aching The needle's spinning in an empty groove And nobody's body is their own When love is standing in the room, everybody's faded It's four AM and nobody's going home 'Cause nobody's body is their own
3.
Neon Skull 03:12
All the wasted days that I want from you 'Til all my aches decay and make it hard to feel I could wait for no one I could wait for no one to come and take my place And walk into the sea Yesterday came on like a neon skull And I couldn't stay awake Yesterday came on like a neon skull And I wouldn't make you stay It's like they told us about, we all would never listen In the warmth of the space we all thought we could find
4.
Passed Up 03:43
I wanna live like a whirlwind I wanna die when I'm young I wanna break all the promises I've made And own up to all the messes in summer dresses to date I wanna be the sound you hear I don't know where I went wrong Feeling like I'm passed up
5.
Sprawl 03:50
Pretend we're already where streetlights know our face And all our friends came to stare at their memories misplaced Why would I be cynical? When I could be so physical? Fake our roots Embrace the hours All we are is urban sprawl
6.
Disappear 03:26
I don't need to be loved I don't want to be feared All I want is to not disappear I don't need to belong I don't need any peers As long as I just don't disappear Our hands have nowhere left to wander My heart is yours to squander I don't need to get off I don't mind if we get weird As long as you help me not disappear I could do it alone But I want you near Help me out I just don't want to disappear
7.
Arrivals, that day Off-rhythm she calls my name Never the same Teeth with port wine stains Invention, she knows no shame Oh she's so tame Come on, do the evolution It's happening out all over town Come on, let's do the evolution It's happening out all over town Departures, mistakes Intentions Don't be so fey, it's so cliche Come on do the evolution tonight
8.
What I Mean 04:17
I was born in the echo of a storm in the spring I'll get old before I'll ever know what that means What I can recall is a somersault of the earth I was a stranger, wore my otherness with pride Dirty as my place and my time to which I will always be aligned I was born in the echo of a war we never won And I will die without ever knowing what I could've done
9.
If our tongues are tied, we'll sing together We'll get by just fine If we lose our voice, we'll speak through gestures We'll get by just fine You know I don't mind How we're defined If the sun implodes we'll wait out the weather We'll get by just fine If time unfolds we'll tie it together We'll get by just fine You know I don't mind How we're defined Find ourselves a point of view That everyone can misconstrue Takes some time to break into A change of pace is overdue
10.
Like New 03:35
When I've made my own history where I've done no wrong And I turn it around, I can see written on my eyelids "If you sleep alone you'll feel like new" It's true, that's what they say "If you come alone you'll feel like new" It's true that's what they say Your apathy is your weapon and your apathy is your weakness
11.
I remember when I was twenty-two and all my cool was borrowed And I would get anxious when I tried to explain I remember when I was twenty-five and every nobody knew me And I fell in love with a girl who got off on colors Do you think she sees just like we see? I met her walking up to a party where we were both looking bored As the people around us tried to define their reasons She said, "I remember when you were twenty-five and every nobody knew you" So I fell in love with a girl who got off on colors My girl's a tetrachromat My girl's a tetrachromat My girl's a tetrachromat My girl's a tetrachromat
