Angel Down 04:04
lyrics

She descends from the peak of paradise Peeking over Pluto’s purity And the rays of Neptune’s bliss She finds desolation and debris For there is naught but a fiery abyss Angel down Angel down Angel down Angel down Angel down (shot down fired like you’ve never seen) Angel down (mesmerized like you wouldn’t believe) Angel down (violet cries like you’ve never heard) Angel down (cheated burns at every other turn) As she falls from the realms of wonderment Queries quick and quiet as she thinks What kind of disarray is this She sighs to the lord of the kings For there is no reviving kiss Angel down Angel down Angel down Angel down Angel down (shot down fired like you’ve never seen) Angel down (mesmerized like you wouldn’t believe) Angel down (violet cries like you’ve never heard) Angel down (cheated burns at every other turn) One last hope, one last dive Where will she go, where did they hide Who will step up and will the noble rise when left with their demise Angel down, my Angel down Angel down Angel down (angel down) Angel down (my angel down) Angel down (angel down) Angel down (Angel down) (Angel down)

Mama grew a garden one hot summer day Told me “deary Daisy, don’t go picking them all away” “Feed them kind and pick only one,” Mama sang with the nightingales that Thursday “Feed them kind and pick only one” Ringing in my head I cried (I cried) I drooled (I drooled) I laughed (I laughed) I said (I said) The flowers in the garden are mine Mine to pick, mine to care, mine to love Mine to pick, mine to care, mine to love I picked one dahlia two Junes ago And he died crying in my hair Tore one lavender the next day With all things gone, he left me bare “Feed them kind and pick only one” Ringing in my head I cried (I cried) I drooled (I drooled) I laughed (I laughed) I said (I said) The flowers in the garden are mine Mine to pick, mine to care, mine to love Mine to pick, mine to care, mine to love I fed them kind and picked more than one Mama doesn’t know what she says They were mine to pick, mine to love (Mine to pick, mine to love) (Mine to pick, mine to love) Don’t listen to what mama says She doesn’t know She doesn’t know but I do Ringing in my head Last summer I wept at his feet I just knew gardenia was my final choice And that was the day I saw her truth Ringing in my head was mama’s voice Feed them kind and pick only one Ringing in my head I cried (I cried) I drooled (I drooled) I laughed (I laughed) I said (I said) The flowers in the garden are mine Mine to pick, mine to care, mine to love Mine to pick, mine to care, mine to love (Mine to pick, mine to love) (Mine to pick, mine to love)

London show me how to love the rain ‘Cause I’m pouring and I feel insane Silky smooth but flooding up inside Keep it pouring, and pouring, and pouring (And pouring, and pouring) They flutter in packs of five Watch, you’ll see they know how to thrive Fiery comebacks Me, I hide behind the facts Crave static tides Something’s brewing inside London show me London show me how to love the rain ‘Cause I’m pouring and I feel insane Silky smooth but flooding up inside Keep it pouring, and pouring, and pouring (And pouring, and pouring) They live with no regrets Sunset on the back of our necks Empty bus rides You and I just don’t collide Looking alive Something’s brewing inside London show me London show me how to love the rain ‘Cause I’m pouring and I feel insane Silky smooth but flooding up inside Keep it pouring, and pouring, and pouring London show me how to love the rain ‘Cause I’m pouring and I feel insane Silky smooth but flooding up inside Keep it pouring, and pouring, and pouring London show me how to heal the pain My vision’s blurry and I can’t explain How I feel, what’s going on inside I keep building, and bending, and breaking London show me how to love the rain ‘Cause I’m pouring and I feel insane Silky smooth but flooding up inside Keep it pouring, and pouring, and pouring London show me how to love the rain ‘Cause I’m pouring and I feel insane Silky smooth but flooding up inside Keep it pouring, and pouring, and pouring Pouring, pouring

Broken by blood Shifted by truth Troubled enough Baffled by you Fractured by phrase (fractured by phrase) Looking for lies (looking for lies) Pining for faith (pining for faith) Fixed on goodbyes (fixed on goodbyes) Faults that you find, tears that you dry I’ve seen your hurt parceled and packed away Under the bed of your lies Under the dreams that you hide I’ve seen your hope shoveled and shut away Under the land of your lies Under the truth that you hide I’ve seen oh I’ve seen your calamity, calamity Distant by day Nervous by night Settled in smoke Twisted too tight Thrown overboard (thrown overboard) Wounded inside (wounded inside) Rattled and torn (rattled and torn) Bruises denied (bruises denied) Faults that you find, tears that you dry I’ve seen your hurt parceled and packed away Under the bed of your lies Under the dreams that you hide I’ve seen your hope shoveled and shut away Under the land of your lies Under the truth that you hide I’ve seen, oh I’ve seen your calamity, calamity I’ve seen, oh oh I’ve seen (calamity) oh oh I’ve seen (calamity) oh I’ve seen oh I (calamity) I’ve seen, oh oh I’ve seen (calamity) oh oh I’ve seen (calamity) oh I’ve seen (calamity) I’ve seen your hurt parceled and packed away Under the bed of your lies Under the dreams that you hide I’ve seen your hurt parceled and packed away Under the bed of your lies (bed of your lies) Under the dreams that you hide (dreams that you hide) I’ve seen your hope shoveled and shut away (shoveled and shut) Under the land of your lies (land of your lies) Under the truth that you hide (truth that you hide) You’re so much more than your calamity, calamity

Uh, um, no no no, i-it’s totally cool I just have a tendency of messing up things Journey from the jukebox to the joyride From the hilltop to the high tide (These are the memories) (These are the reveries) Nightfall to the namesake From the ego to the earthquake (These are the memories) (These are the reveries) I can’t stand still I can’t until I Escape these vermilion lies Escape these vermilion lies Worry from the weekend to the weekday From the banter to the bouquet (These are the memories) (Tinted so cleverly) Middle to the meadow From the shimmer to the shadow (These are the memories) (Gifted so cleverly) I can’t stand still I can’t until I Escape these vermilion lies Escape these vermilion lies I can’t stand still I can’t until I I’d like new laws to live by Escape these vermilion lies Escape these vermilion lies Escape these vermilion lies

Moonbeam 02:59

How can I hold, how can I hold A moonbeam in my hand A moonbeam in my hand It’s static up there for me somewhere I crave some peace of mind, tarragon and thyme I long for clarity and not just in the morning glare When it’s time to dream I can’t sleep, I am caught up there Show me just how it should be How can I hold, how can I hold A moonbeam in my hand A moonbeam in my hand How can I hold, how can I hold A moonbeam in my hand A moonbeam in my hand It’s messy when we defy the line Even when standing still, we’re tumbling downhill I don’t know what’s going on, I’m only fun half of the time When it’s time to dream I can’t sleep, I am caught up there Show me just how it should be How can I hold, how can I hold A moonbeam in my hand A moonbeam in my hand How can I hold, how can I hold A moonbeam in my hand A moonbeam in my hand Where is the light we seek when weak A glimmer of the moon wide awake and soon I wanna know, I wanna know The flowers will still bloom My hopeful heart will too When I can hold, when I can hold A moonbeam in my hand A moonbeam in my hand When I can hold, when I can hold A moonbeam in my hand A moonbeam in my hand I wanna know when I can hold A moonbeam in my hand A moonbeam in my hand

Light of His truth slips my mind after all, after all My criminal lines and faulty feat Meet golden shrines by hymns so sweet When raindrops fall on the ground Does this mean that I, I have found Where is my Presence, where is my Friend I see the darkness, when will this all end Here, there, and everywhere He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends Here, there, and everywhere He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends Light of His truth slips my mind after all, after all The absence is my Friend My timorous tone and still stride find Nine unknown by clouds divine When I find my missing space Daylight reveals my warm embrace Where is my Presence, where is my Friend I see the darkness, when will this all end Here, there, and everywhere He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends Here, there, and everywhere He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends Light of His truth slips my mind after all, after all The absence is my Friend (absence, absence, absence) Where is my Presence, where is my Friend I see the darkness, when will this all end Here, there, and everywhere He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends Here, there, and everywhere He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends Light of His truth slips my mind after all, after all The absence is my Friend
