Aliens

It’s like we’re in
A haunted mansion
The ghosts and ghouls are everywhere
Let’s just get out of here
Before they get too near
Back at our house, the sign reads
Chaos ends here
Aliens we are
And aliens forever be
Why should I believe in anything
Aliens we are
And aliens forever be
Why should I believe in anything
You say to me
It’s like we’re in
A hall of mirrors
With mass delusion everywhere
I can’t just play along
Until everyone is gone
Silently slipping away into oblivion
Aliens we are
And aliens forever be
Why should I believe in anything
Aliens we are
And aliens forever be
Why should I believe in anything
You say to me
Let’s shake it off and get back to it
You don’t have to be a super genius
All that I need you to be
Is right here with me
Aliens we are
And aliens forever be
Why should I believe in anything
Aliens we are
And aliens forever be
Why should I believe in anything
You say to me

The Haunted House
03:50

Start the purge and burn the bridges
Sew your eyes and burn the witches
Open up the gates of shadowlands
We’re living in the time of jackals
Lay aside your cares and hassles
Running down the hallways of a mansion
Let’s go out in the magic hour
Let’s spend the night in a haunted house
Till the morning
Let’s go wake all the residents
Let’s say goodnight to the present tense
Till the morning
Till morning
In mourning
I’m home again
I’m home again
Through the trees we’re running faster
Barely we will skirt disaster
Escaping by the skin of our teeth
Stop the car and dim the headlights
Up the hill beyond the streetlights
Far below the city bites its own head off
Let’s go out in the magic hour
Let’s spend the night in a haunted house
Till the morning
Let’s go wake all the residents
Let’s say goodnight to the present tense
Till the morning
Till morning
In mourning
I’m home again
I’m home again
And somewhere you’re out there watching
Let’s go out in the magic hour
Let’s spend the night in a haunted house
Till the morning
Let’s go wake all the residents
Let’s say goodnight to the present tense
Till the morning
Till morning
In mourning
I’m home again
I’m home again

Under the Stars

I only wanted a normal life
I only wanted to be heard
Can you tell between wrong and right?
Will we ever learn?
Am I torn although happy
Am I still in your heart?
I feel alone, I feel lost, I feel human
And under the stars
Oh, under the stars
You were breathing on the inside
You were careful not to let go
I couldn’t tell between truth and lies
Will we ever learn?
Am I torn although happy
Am I still in your heart?
I feel alone, I feel lost, I feel human
And under the stars
Oh, I feel alone, I feel lost, I feel human
And under the stars
Under the stars
Oh – oh, under the stars
Am I torn although happy
Am I still in your heart?
I feel alone, I feel lost, I feel human
And under the stars
Oh, am I
Am I torn although happy
Am I still in your heart?
I feel alone, I feel lost, I feel human
And under the stars
I feel alone, I feel lost, I feel human
And under the stars
Oh, under the stars
Do you believe we’ll get it right?
Do you still believe when we are wrong?
Do you feel like I do now?
Oh, do you feel like I do now?
Oh, do you feel like I do now?

Amazing Days
04:00
|

|
I wish I wish I knew you when
Before the world came creeping in
Before we knew the sting that living brings
There’s magic in the misery
We’re bonded by the tragedy
The chaos blooms and rust will never sleep
Amazing days
We’re running through the thick of it
For the season for all time
The saving grace
We’re small and fragile miracles
With no reason, with no rhyme
We’re made of stars
A doubting chorus in my ear
You wouldn’t recognize me dear
I am the worst person to ask why
And you can be my Goldilocks
With puzzle pieces in a box
Is this what we’ve been waiting for all our lives?
Amazing days
We’re running through the thick of it
For the season for all time
The saving grace
We’re small and fragile miracles
With no reason, with no rhyme
We’re made of stars
We’re made of stars
We’re made of stars
We’re made of stars
Amazing days
We’re running through the thick of it
For the season for all time
The saving grace
We’re small and fragile miracles
With no reason, with no rhyme
We’re made of stars
We’re made of stars
We’re made of stars
We’re made of stars

In Your House

Why should I
Care if you were raised by wolves?
When you realize
That your family’s poisonous
Under constant eye
They will never let you go
And your heart belies
To cover you and disappear in stone
In your house tonight
Say your prayer goodnight
Blank stares from their eyes
Say your prayer goodnight
I’ll survive
Through another magic show
Oh but how should I
Avoid rows of dominoes?
Under constant eye
They will never let you go
In a house on fire
We pretend that everything is gold
In your house tonight
Say your prayer goodnight
It’s raining stars for hours
Say your prayer goodnight
Goodnight
I survived
Broke another lover down
And my heart is tired
From my many failed attempts
In your house tonight
Wicked phantoms creak the floor
In a house on fire
We pretend that everything is gold
In your house tonight
Say your prayer goodnight
The phantoms creak the floors
Say your prayer goodnight

Big Eyes
03:57
|

When the day ends
And the light is gone
I can feel time spinning down
In your big eyes
How they’ve come and gone
And the world keeps spinning round
And I, I can feel the weight
The weight of your sigh on my mind
And it’s coming down, down
Down to the last of your nine lives
In your mind’s eye
All alone in there
Is there more than I can see?
In your big eyes
In your little world
I can see you spiraling
And I, I can feel the weight
The weight of your sigh on my mind
(I failed you)
And it’s coming down, down
Down to the last of your nine lives
And here for all time
No, no you’re not come
Coming back from this
When the day ends
And the light is gone
And the world keeps spinning round
I will leave here
If you say the word
I can see you spiral down
And I, I can feel the weight
The weight of your sigh on my mind
(I failed you)
And it’s coming down, down
Down to the last of your nine lives left

Going South
04:34
|
|||
|
Falling in and out of favor
Waiting to get passed over
Never staying right between the lines
Falling flat down on our faces
Never right time or right places
Until it hits us right between the eyes
I can see you there
By the glow of your phone
And I can hear you sigh
Am I wearing you out?
Are you still full of doubt?
Are you going south?
You’re not so alone
One step forward and ten steps backward
Stumbling through the thick of it
Goal posts moving just beyond our reach
You and me and all our vices
Have come to rescue us from crisis
We may be better off than we can see
I can see you there
By the glow of your phone
And I can hear you sigh
Am I wearing you out?
Are you still full of doubt?
Are you going south?
You’re not so alone
You’re not so alone
You’re not so alone
You’re not so alone
I can see you there
By the glow of your phone
And I can hear you sigh
Am I wearing you out?
Are you still full of doubt?
Are you going south?
You’re not so alone
You’re not so alone
You’re not so alone
You’re not so alone

Only So Many Days
04:32

Get your feet back on the ground don’t lose yourself
This hypothetical hogwash doesn’t fly
Every second brings you closer too your grave
And the only lifeline offered you didn’t take
In time, in time, in time, in time
For you now
Only love, only sorrow
Counts at the end of the day
All my hope, all my heartache
Lights up and clears out the haze
So one day, maybe tomorrow
Only so many days
All my love, all my sorrow
Gets me on my way
Do objects get imprinted with our memories?
These Sentimental thoughts are meaningless
But something in your instinct thinks you’ve gone astray
All cos something better never came
In time, in time, in time, in time
For you now
Only love, only sorrow
Counts at the end of the day
All my hope, all my heartache
Lights up and clears out the haze
So one day, maybe tomorrow
Only so many days
All my love, all my sorrow
Gets me on my way
In time, in time, in time, in time
For you now
Only love, only sorrow
Counts at the end of the day
All my hope, all my heartache
Lights up and clears out the haze
So one day, maybe tomorrow
Only so many days
All my love, all my sorrow
Gets me on my way

Compass (2024 Version)

Friends they come and go
And then you know which ones are
But I am on your side
Out on the frontline trenches
Days go by and nothing changes
High and low we’re mending fences
Days go by and nothing changes
High and low we’re mending fences
(Friends they come and go
And then you know which ones are
But I am on your side
Out on the frontline trenches)
We survived
We did our best
Out in the forest
Without a compass
How we get along
Days they come and go
Days, they come in waves
An endless haze of memory
It’s fast and then it’s slow
An afterglow in movies
Days go by and nothing changes
High and low we’re mending fences
Days go by and nothing changes
High and low we’re mending fences
(Days, they come in waves
An endless haze of memory
It’s fast and then it’s slow
An afterglow in movies)
We survived
We did our best
Out in the forest
Without a compass
How we get along
Days they come and go
Days go by and nothing changes
High and low we’re mending fences
Days go by and nothing changes
High and low we’re mending fences
(Friends they come and go
And then you know which ones are
But I am on your side
Out on the frontline trenches)
We survived
We did our best
Out in the forest
Without a compass
How we get along
Days they come and go
