THREE SQUARE ROOMS: Three square rooms and a lonely heart, That’s been my deal for a little while now Everyday seems that much longer, I think I’m losing myself, I won’t surrender, no Yeah I’ve been keeping to myself But baby not for long I think I smell something beautiful You’ll hear it in a song Two little strangers to each other Not strictly speaking for their moment was to come Cause these days I’m thinking so much clearer, No more worries in mind, but something very fine Yeah I’ve been keeping to myself But baby not for long I think I smell something beautiful You’ll hear it in a song One big heart and a big ol’ smile It’s late but still, I’m trying to figure out my luck. It seems the sun’s been shining brighter Maybe the stars have alined and that’s fine, by me Yeah that’s fine by me Yeah I’ve been keeping to myself But baby not for long I think I smell something beautiful You’ll hear it in a song

Melanie 03:24
MELANIE: Melanie, you just don’t belong, You’re bending time and shapes just like Dali You’re nothing compared to Socrates I thought I heard 10 000 words, but you just proved me wrong Watch the sun rise and just see yourself Coming alive, yeah it’s there for you I know you now in two different lights But Misses, no, I could not see what you’d reveal to me I know you’ve been broken and battered again But please let the day end and try again tomorrow Your thoughts can’t be clear no you hardly sleep And write like it rains, no control through the weather Blood on these strings from stroking too hard From cutting yourself in your sleep, I didn’t even notice The blood in these sheets, the blood my eyes, The blood in these sheets, I didn’t even notice. Tell me how I how tricked you, and led you to believe That a garden full of flowers is just what you would need Tell me again about the simple things that you didn’t think I’d want Something real and really simple, but I didn’t get that chance I don’t think it’s luck, I just know I don’t want the Church and bells with you I know that hurts but days have passed and now I’m happy I’m sorry I went and opened the door and gave you so much hope I’m sorry I went and opened the door but that's the way it goes I know you’ve been broken and battered again But please let the day end and try again tomorrow Your thoughts can’t be clear no you hardly sleep And write like it rains, no control through the weather/ Blood on these strings from stroking too hard From cutting yourself in your sleep, I didn’t even notice/ The blood in my sheets, the blood my eyes, The blood in my sheets, I didn’t even notice.

The Abyss 03:20
THE ABYSS: Who lied and told me sun will rise As it comes up lights up the sky Where I am black is all the style And all the lawyers do deny I wish I’d carry on and go Anywhere just so you would know I’m gone and never coming back So lay me down in a union jack You owe your life to the abyss And I heard that ignorance is bliss The king is back and wants your head Don’t you feel bad, that's what he said I wish I’d carry on and go Anywhere just so you would know I’m gone and never coming back So lay me down in a union jack Northern star, light up the way home While drops of sound are trickling down Adjust your brightness to my stone Towering mountain standing alone I wish I’d carry on and go Anywhere just so you would know I’m gone and never coming back So lay me down in a union jack

GREAT EXPANSES: I think I’m going back to England Nothing to keep me here for now I've seen all there is to see, take it away Go ahead, try and keep me here I’m going down down to the country and it’s scaring me to death The air is way too pristine and my lungs can’t take the breath So give me back my city, cigarettes and hookers tonight tonight, Cigarettes and hookers tonight Take your horse and your cart, why don’t you go back home alive, go back home alive We’re out hunting the wild, yeah Great expanses here we come Me and my family rolling down streets We packed it all in last night for the week Me and my family rolling down streets We packed it all in last night for the week Can’t sleep, I’m way too wired, We’re going to the beach next July Can’t sleep, I’m way too wired, We’re going to the beach next July We’re out hunting the wild, yeah Great expanses here we come Kid wants to row in his own canoe Parents know better, they won’t send him home Kid now does it every summer I’ll see you later, I’m going down, down, down
