Vehicle 03:36
riddle tale tongue never speak a word beyond no one has to know we stole away dead as the ghost of a dream the trick is allways ours to keep for dare and farewell the ground to leave i take it on the illutions of your heart for what i’ve lost you still got a cut upon the skies don’t look down but close your eyes never to be found swept out to sea in rumble and quake i repose slowly i forget of those we have left behind and chased away i take it on all creations of your heart for what i’ve lost you still got in a time that never waits is a youth that never fades but gone we are gone off we’re off

hand shook its hand felt a claw in my palm eyes with closed eyes i run ‘till blindfold falls of by dawn yeah i am drawn by sunrise, but clear skies are doomed, with gust and gloom say why in daylight i’m lost struck and tossed believe it was bigger than me mouth sharpest mouth hold your breath steal one kiss heart place your hope in a chest and do return to the mist for i am drawn by sunrise, but clear skies are doomed, with gust and gloom say why in daylight i’m lost struck and tossed believe it was bigger than me and no more will be said ‘bout whatever rose from dead leave and let it rest leave and let it rest moonrise, and clear skies are mine, this time entwined in starlight, in our night i’m found safe and sound believe it was bigger than me and no more will be said ‘bout whatever rose from dead leave and let it rest leave and let it rest

Away 04:29
sweetheart trace your trails to the lake we swam into or do you know the way to find me there again? in your turning sleep in my wicked dreams I fall fall and fall away for dark nights we dissolve into sweetheart trace your trails to the tree that stole the wind where love sick children hide only to be found don’t you be affraid don’t you know its all a dream days are what we own for dark nights we dissolve into you should know I am never gone you should know I am always here don’t you be fooled by light again and the dark nights we dissolve into

before the storm comes up before the sky becomes too dark you should run should we become estranged i’ll know you got carried away by the whirling dance to forget me hold down your flowing gown hold down your kite and stay on ground you might fly along but if you’re gone i’ll know you got carried away by the whirling dance to forget your home theres something in the Sky theres something in the Sky theres something in the Sky theres something in the Sky before the storm comes up before the sky becomes too dark you should run should we become estranged i’ll know you got carried away by the whirling dance to forget

behold your bones got long before you knew inside a wedded song we drew away into a dream towards a sullen gleam and i can go on within i crash into the light stumble through your house you're not home why’d you ever leave? cover not your ghost in that i do believe there is a buried tale now to retell an old book to reopen well reverse it and renew unfold the curse of you and we could make a right this time i crash into the light stumble through your house you're not home thought you’d never leave cover not your ghost it belongs to me shades of the calling everhaunt don’t give in before i got what i long for what i’ve allways longed for in sleeplings hallowed vehicle we all go on upon it all cover not your ghosts lead them off to me for good or for long? for now or forever? how long am i without you?

Weasel Bite 05:18
take darkness if it’s what you want inside of it I fought alone and lost light came to save and she framed my will by love by all she could give yeah leeches we have grown apart cool kisses couldn’t keep my heart in place i’m of to whatever suits my hope for she stole the key to your wardrobe come on bite on feed on mistakes I have lied asleep for long too long in songs of songs come take my place in this parade my wooden sword I’ve thrown away I have tomb tunes and sad songs belongs to you beyond be all you dreamed of take darkness if it’s what you want inside of it I fought alone and lost light came to save and she framed my will by love by all she could give come on bite on feed on mistakes I have lied asleep for long too long in songs of songs for long.. she is a sparkle of child she is the strange of my smile she is my sweet revenge she is my sudden change
