RECLAIMED 04:35
Lord, forgive me My spirit wets the sand And reclaims all that’s left of this broken land Lord, forgive me My spirit crashes down Spread out for miles, I’ve been swayed by distant breeze Lord, forgive me Ohh, forgive me Please forgive me There’s only water surrounding me Leave the window open so I can find your voice How do I fall asleep and wake up without you again?

YOUR GHOST 02:44
Everything got put on hold when you went away And now you're coming back to me like I knew you would someday How can my arms be open up so wide And running back to old ways that I thought had died Take away my body I only want to be a voice I want to forget what it was ever like to be in control Take away my body, Oooh All of this takes a certain stillness That I've been trying so hard to learn All of this takes a certain stillness That I've been trying so hard to learn

"Let's entwine our hearts" - you say I'll pretend not to hear Over the hissing of the train tracks For now we'll just hold our breath And put our hands one over the other "Let's entwine our lives" - you say as you draw near Me and you, the two of us I want to go, forget the rest But can nothing be so pure? I must keep walking on, I think about the train I wipe my tears, soon I'll be forgetting you too "Let's entwine our hearts" - you say
4.
Boiling ocean waves swallow the sand You've moved on, your spirit lives elsewhere Those days are dead, goodnight my friend

FOR LUNCH... 02:46
Lyrics by no one
6.
A hundred million suggestions All leading to the same place Godlessness is freezing Godlessness is desolate A hundred millions tunnel ways All leading to the deep core Hopelessness is easy Hopelessness is everywhere Something forgotten with the changing seasons Drifting, aimless in the dead of night Searching for something, a piece they're missing To places oh so far as they dance gaily A lifetime building nothing out of nothing Adventures going nowhere, seeing no one A lifetime of feeling nothing, giving nothing A passage leading nowhere, leaving no one I want to save you from the deepest of your fears I want to see you, whatever time of year I want to hear you speaking of your dreams I want to warm you, however cold I seem Watch my spirit die Watch my spirit die In a carousel fire accident Up in flames, absent as the start Watch my spirit die Watch my spirit die West of Elysium, to where I was born When will the rain fall, oh when will the rain fall?
7.
In a closet underneath the stairs You place things as graying hairs Arrive to your head As you put your corpse to bed An old, withering rose 15 years decomposed The chipping of faded paint A white dress that dust now taints To shades of ashtrays Now unfit for display Entombed in rolling hills of scrapped Cobweb covered photographs In that dark room you find All frayed are the threads that bind The garment once was cream With small holes showing at the seams His puppet strings still tightly wound The final knot just can't be found

You told me the feeling of the summer ending  Is always there like a warm death  You made me look back on  All those long days I wasted  Oh how we thought there would be so many more  Oh how we sat on the balcony, devastated That one day we would just cease to exist  Oh how we stared at the lighthouse With sober and steaming glares  Oh how I leaned on the railing Wanting to be out there sailing, sailing, sailing, oooh.  Through strong winds, stormy seas, and sickening fog  I can still see the candle in your window  I wish they had buried you deeper  Oooh Hold me  Oooh Love me  Oooh Never let me go
