DRAW! 03:42
1. DRAW! I wanted to draw you on my body
 I wanted to draw you on my mind 
I honestly don’t know what you’re thinking
 I honestly don’t know my own mind
 But I promise to stalk you where you linger I promise to haunt you when I die
 If I honestly don’t know what you’re thinking
 I honestly don’t know my own mind Just pick a door that is open on my body
 Pick a door that is open in my mind
 If I honestly don’t know what you’re thinking
 I honestly don’t know what you’ll find Just pick a door that is open Pick a door that is open in my mind
 and I honestly don’t know what you’re thinking
 I honestly don’t know my own mind I promise to God. I wanted to draw you on my body
 I wanted to draw you on my mind
 I honestly don’t know what you’re thinking 
I honestly don’t know my own mind
 But I promise to stalk you where you linger I promise to haunt you when I die
 If I honestly don’t know what I’m thinking 
I honestly don’t know my own mind Just pick a door that is open on my body 
Pick a door that is open in my mind
 If I honestly don’t know what you’re thinking 
I honestly don’t know my own mind I promise to God Pick a door that is open in my mind
 Just pick a door that is open. I wanted to draw you on my body 
I wanted to draw you on my mind
 I honestly don’t know what you’re thinking 
I honestly don’t know my own mind
 But I promise to stalk you where you linger I promise to haunt you when I die 
If I honestly don’t know what you’re thinking
 I honestly don’t know my own mind Just pick a door that is open on my body 
Pick a door that is open in my mind
 If I honestly don’t know what you’re thinking
 I honestly don’t know what you’ll find Just pick a door that is open Pick a door that is open in my mind 
and I honestly don’t know what you’re thinking 
I honestly don’t know my own mind I promise to God.

2. N.E.O. (philiac) I Think I love you 
think I mentioned that I love you all around 
I guess the bottom of this gene pool 
is the only thing you’ve found 

I move in shapes, twist colours 
chasing patterns on the ground 
and oh, I think I love you 
think I mentioned that I love you all around

 Now you get to be my
 super-luminary once in a lifetime shot at happiness and you could be my
 super-luminary fabulous prizes to be won on every ride. 

 Think I love you 
think I mentioned that I luv you all around
 I guess the bottom of this barrel is the only thing you found 

I draw my finger, draw my finger
chasing patterns on the ground 
and oh, I think I love you
 think I mentioned that I love you all around Now you get to be my
 super-luminary once in a lifetime shot at happiness and you could be my 
super luminary fabulous prizes to be won on every ride. Now you get to be my
 super luminary partner in crime just like we talked about
 and you could be my 
super luminary fabulous prizes to be won on every ride. You get to be my 
 super luminary once in a lifetime shot at happiness. and you could be my super luminary fabulous prizes to be won on every ride. I Think I love you 
think I mentioned that I love you all around
 I guess the bottom of this barrel 
is the only thing you’ve found.

 easy to love, forever in...

33' 03:58
5. 33’ There is always someone new someone lighter and less predictable 
and though I can’t say which is true 
I feel left open
 You were born in the morning light
 a day-old consciousness clinging on to me
 and that you won’t sleep through this first night
 my heart is iron 

and I leap in circles through my mind and 
heaving floodgates, pouring memories 
and though I daydream through this first day 
I feel alive

 and airways open to my lungs and
 Pumping blood and aching quadriceps 
 that twist and stubble through this first night 
and then beyond.

 The door is open and in they come
 I speak in platitudes and simple thank yous
 and though I can’t say what I’ve done 
I think I might

 'cause we are islands and blinking lights and
 staring outwards, reaching upwards catching sirens in the distance
 of beating hearts

. There are pathways in this vacuum painted floors that lead round corners
 trailing IV’s, pushing wheelchairs 
 in the dark 
 and I lose all my sense of time 
there are just these moments and smiling visitors 
and though I can’t speak to my mind 
I try to listen

 I drift in floating pools of light
 pathways drawn in bloodless strip lights 
and though I will make it through this evening
 There will be the night

 with dreams of sirens and the parking medication, screaming empathy
, endless hallways
 running circles in the dark

 and I am selfish and afraid
 and I can’t say anything to take this pain away
 so I just stand there and I say
 It will be alright

 imploring strangers in strange doorways 
changing faces that seem uncomplicated
 and rising panic in the theatre from the start

 and I slacken and shut down
 motor functions that lose telemetry 
 speaking noises in the furrows of the dark.

6. LUser Should I lose you now
 I think all my thoughts would decline
 should I lose you now 
for all time

 Should I lose you know 
and feel all my worlds collide 
should I lose you now 
for a time 

How could I lose you though
 How could I lose you and live my life 
How could I lose you though
 How could I survive

 Should I love you less And let all my thoughts just decline 
should I love you less
 for some time

 When the wi-fi’s down 
I feel all my thoughts go live 
and the jagged edges
 of my mind 

How could I lose you though 
How could I lose you and live my life 
How could I lose you though
 How could I survive

 How could I lose you though
 How could I lose you though and live my life How could I lose you though 
How could I lose you though and live my life 

Shout “I’m gonna lose you”
 And sit down until my moving parts give out 
 How could I lose you though 
How could I survive

 Could be you
 could be me 
could be both of us
 maybe

 but I don’t mind 
these things they happen sometimes

 I don’t mind
 these things happen sometimes

 it doesn’t change anything anything 
anything that I love about you

 it doesn’t change anything anything 
anything that I love about you

 Could be you
 could be me 
could be both of us
 maybe
 but I don’t mind
 these things they happen sometimes
 I don’t mind 
these things happen sometimes
 it doesn’t change anything anything
 anything that I love about you
 it doesn’t change anything anything 
anything that I love about you
 This doesn’t change anything anything
 anything that I love about you
 doesn’t change anything anything

Terra Bytes 02:40
8. TERRA BYTES In the pale half light 
people tell me dialogues the hardest thing to write 

and so I try so hard 
on again and off again on credit cards

 and all I got this time
 is start again and stop again and underline

 The good die young 
and then we bury them in platitudes and emoticons

 Don’t
 rage against the dying of the terabyte 
Fight the good fight 
on again and off again all your life Well I’m not the same 
nostalgia isn’t what it was earlier today
 when there were some quests You couldn’t google all the answers to in retrospect 

and lose whole days 
down rabbit holes of old cartoons stacked to autoplay And the pale half lives 
of operating systems that are soon to die

 Don’t 
 rage against the dying of the terabyte
 fight the good fight
 on again and off again all your life 

Well the good die young
 we bury them in platitudes and emoticons Fight the good fight
 on again and off again into the night

Lightbeams 02:52
9. LIGHTBEAMS

 I wanna shut it down
 stand still for me 
I wanna piece of science 
a piece of science fiction to fix me

 and I, I, I, was always a long way from home
 and I 
was somehow alone

 I am heartbeats in a bloodstream travelling light beams 
in a daydream
 to every corner of my heartache
 every corner of my heartbreak And I am heartbeats and a bloodstream Travelling light beams 
in the daydream
 to every corner of my heartache 
and every corner of my heartbreak And every moment I wanna shut it down
 stand still for me I wanna shut it down 
stand still for me and I, I, I, I 
was always a long way from home
 and I
 was somehow alone

 I am heartbeats in a bloodstream travelling light beams 
in a daydream
 to every corner of my heartache 
every corner of my heartbreak I am heartbeats and a bloodstream Travelling light beams 
in the daydream
 to every corner of my heart ache
and every corner of my heartbreak I am heartbeats and a bloodstream Travelling light beams 
in the daydream 
to every corner of my heartache 
and every corner of my heartbreak and my heart leaps over the moon.

Resistor 03:25
10. RESISTOR Muddle on with most of your life 
it just takes one moment to realise that your heart won’t be enough 
yeah your heart won’t beat enough

 and your friends they won’t say enough and your job won’t pay enough 
and your life won’t mean enough and your lies won’t be enough but our lives just, spinning off
 we don’t die, we just carry on but our hearts won’t be enough
 and our hearts won’t beat enough 

and our hearts won’t be enough
