You took a picture, I saw the future I wanna go right now, come on For you For you For you ‘Cause it's just the right thing to do For you It's just the right thing to do If you’re breathless and you’re broken Let us come inside again and we Will fill your lungs - let us try, son Cause it's the closest thing we have to healing For you It's just the right thing to do Yeah it's a reason But first Throw your stones away

Thanatosis 03:56
Will you still come around, when you don't need anybody Will we play dead, will we play dead? I've yet to pass a brighter one The night sky mourns your absence But I speak eye to eye The lengths you go to sufficate Any fragment of scrutiny What you hiding there, boy? Will you still come around, when you don't need anybody Will we play dead, will we play dead? Oh my God, these memories aren't just mine I scream alone We all fuck up a million times It's time to dust off your mirror now And climb on down Will you still come around, when you don't need anybody Will we play dead, will we play dead? 'Cause this can turn around, the moment you want it to Will we play dead, will we play dead?

Seen 05:56
The ghost spoke only for others Her voice unheard as the sea of souls crashed over her Turbulent yet dry Draining her sight, her mind Sucking at her ability to be kind Falling deeper into the hedonistic, empty, dark unknown Powdered, sweet, sickly white with heavenly drone But her fingertips started to fuzz Her body flowered Spring seeped into her soul She met his eyes Line to line Drink to drink Body to body But her fingertips started to fuzz Her body flowered spring seeped into her soul But her fingertips started to fuzz Her body flowered Spring seeped into her soul She met his eyes Barriers dropped and her heart filled The monster hunting her has the chance to be killed The ghost became a woman Fully formed and beautiful Strength and beauty Words, faces, skin, all is new She smiles for the first time Her lips are wet She is seen

I turn the glass around Look at you upside down You’re just as pretty here But on your face, a sneer You can’t be trusted now You left the lower brow It won’t be long until Bird on the window sill When the lid is left ajar Don’t have to travel far Another ladybird At war with the world You shouldn’t have to fall asleep For your problems to disappear Come and have a drink, my dear In here ‘Cause all I see are broken rooms And a corridor that leads from here I know not where it leads, my dear Don’t fear Yes you gotta go find me I'll chase the ghosts away
