Passerine 03:56
Where are the teardrops when they've fallen In a moonlit demise Hydrangeas in ivy, eternal We make the best of it, or not at all Where are the sparrows when they're sullen In a red wine disguise Delusions of grandeur, in purple We make the best of it, or not at all All the secrets that we've spoken Drown together once again Basking in the rays Gazing at the sun Freefall We make the best of it, or not at all...

Deployer 04:46
We've all been hurled ashore Before you reach the score Just give it some time She will lead you through the door Leave the need for more Don't lose your mind (lose your mind) We've all unfurled before Destined to ignore Just give it some time She will lay you on the floor Naked to the core Don't lose your mind (lose your mind) Queen Serene Astrid you're a star

Lavender 06:07
Can you pretend to understand Lazily left hand Now that dream is here Begin to win a weathered moon Winter until June A frozen effigy Relax. A forest hides away Reverie all day To dream surrender If you should choose...remain aware In delight or despair The void is calling Let it all drop away We wrap the world in lavender (3x) Can you pretend to understand Lazily left hand Now that dream is here Begin to win a weathered moon Winter until June A frozen effigy Let it all drop away We wrap the world in lavender

Nebula 06:18
Nearly dark, hiding place Nowhere left to run, flee without a trace Sleep like indigo In a weeping willow Dreary vines, decelerate Clearly overwhelmed, (out of) fear we hesitate Silent Nebula Violet in magenta Barely live, disintegrate Drifting to the sun, flares manipulate Dreams in marigold In a blazing hollow Scarily stark, commiserate Sinking through the veil, we annihilate Silent nebula Violet in magenta At night I wait for you...I wait for you Alright I run to you...there's nothing to lose
5.
Ensilver 04:57
Phased heartbroken Sound defense full moon Spaced and sullen Lay down to bed, adieu Grey... Ensilver... Rain keeps falling Comfort creatures consume Sway crestfallen May dreams remain statues Hide, till we figure out Ride on dead horses Around the word of doubt Dye, till we look brand new A forest of feathers Bleakly holds the truth Grey... Ensilver...
6.
Effrayant 03:54
Shadows dance around my windowsill We know, they always follow Pantomime secrets they reveal We know, they always follow Hollow faces surround Empty traces abound...effrayant Moon sounds, twirling atmosphere We know, they always follow Phantom chimes, oscillating everywhere We know, they always follow Hollow faces surround Empty traces abound...effrayant Effrayant

Caverns 06:26
Deep inside you, hall of mirrors break away Now reveal a shady lane Velvet Bellevue, wrapped in colours I can't define Nevermind my windowpane Zoning out lavishly Lazy love, I want you to stay Gloaming hour, Saturdays Setting sun, I want you to stay...away Winter chateau, undercover valentine Que sera...saccharine Confidential, narcotic symphony Serenade this academe Zoning out lavishly Lazy love, I want you to stay Gloaming hour, Saturdays Setting sun, I want you to stay...away Caverns echo however televised Comet trails...we own the night! Zoning out lavishly Lazy love, I want you to stay Gloaming hour, Saturdays Setting sun, I want you to stay...away

Pixels 06:20
Chromatic were the lights, a stage bathed in reds Dramatic satellite, a disk overhead I can't remember where they say they're from Stranger above, contact confirmed Static Holiday... Realize their apocalyptic eyes Disguise, pixeled matinee Realize, they're lies I lay awake all night awaiting your return Shadows on the wall leave me so concerned Pixels of our lives disintegrate Visitors transform, can you concentrate Static holiday... Realize their apocalyptic eyes Disguise, pixeled matinee Realize, they're lies Imagine if they kiss again... So deep without adjourn Monuments crumble and they burn Static holiday... Realize, their apocalyptic eyes Disguise, pixeled matinee Realize, they're lies...
