Blood in the streets, who brushed off all of their sins? Cold march of time is laying waste. I’m coming back from the dead, we’re older and we’re filled with so much fucking dread. We’re running out of places left to hide (2-3-4). Slow down! Slow down! This elevator is going down. I’ve been to the edge and I’ve laughed at the sound. I’m heading out again. We’ll meet again my friend, there’s no way this could be the end (the end). Do you remember all the times we said we’d care, back when the rainbow took a piss in your hair? You didn’t care and neither did I. We’d die before we lived a lie, and in due time they’d turn our bodies to dust and ash. Life won’t be alright. Hide from the daylight. What good is friendship when you can’t keep it around because you’ve planted all it’s roots down in the sandy southern ground? Oh! Now I’ll ask you what you’d have me do, when Death will come regardless? Climbed too high above the garden, I’ll cut your harness for fun. Back into a constant daze, a listless state. Where are you? You’re out too late. All the clues you’ve left me here steal no space. They’ve disappeared. I can’t slow down! I can’t slow down! This elevator is going down. I’ve been to the edge and I’ve begged to fall down. I’ll never see you again. Until death takes us, the end. (BOOM). Rip my throat out, drag me down, don’t let me think you’re still around. Underground, I will drag you down.

Vapor Trails 01:45
In retrospect leaving was a bad idea, but I did it anyway. Because I didn’t think I wouldn’t have liked it, I didn’t know that people here would suck. They’re all the same. It’s fucked. I yell out in frustration. I broke the ties and burned the rails, and left behind a vapor trail. I never called you back again. I knew I should have called again… I broke the ties and burned the rails and left behind a vapor trail and then you stopped being my friend. In retrospect leaving was a bad idea. I cut the vine before it grew. I was 10 years old, I never knew. I didn’t stick around and I didn’t wait. I picked right up and went away, no hesitation on my part. Away, anew, a life to start, yeah. I broke the ties and burned the rails and left behind a vapor trail. I never called you back again. I knew I should have called again… I broke the ties and burned the rails and left behind a vapor trail. If magic weren’t the enemy we’d fall in love again. I said I broke the ties and burned the rails and left behind a vapor trail. I’m never coming home again, this life is coming to it’s end. In my heart, I’m your man.

I’m asking you if you remember when our lives were so much better. I sleep, it stings. My lover’s gone. You went away and you didn’t come back. Man, I felt like I was in the way. It seemed like you’d already had your fun. What did I do? What did I say? I really tried to help you yet you pushed me away. What did you think? Could you tell? You left this town, and I feel like I’m hell. I wondered if you thought the same, but clearly not, it was all in vain. I never will be the same again. It feels like I never knew you but we spent those weeks together. We were just too different for a good. What did I do? What did I say? I really tried to help you, yet you pushed me away. What did you think? Could you tell? You left this town, and I feel like I’m in hell. I’ll go away, I’ll leave it alone. I’ll go away, but please come back home. I’ll go away, I’ll leave it alone. I’ll go away, but please come back home. What did I do? What did I say? I really tried to help you, yet you pushed me away. What did you think? Could you tell? You left this town, and I feel like I’m in hell.

Hold fast, you’re not so far from me. In the valley of my mind there’s not a place to stop for gas, because there’s nothing there to find. Well, you’re west alone out on the sea, and there ain’t no place to run down to. I hope you’ll ask me where I’ve been. We can peel away our passions. Can you hear me? I can’t hear you, you’re drunk on a lie. This disconnection from direction makes me want to cry, but you’re the admiral of the ocean sea. You embody a sense of urgency. Which way’s the way home? I need your guidance now. I miss your laughter. You put me under your spell, but I bid farewell to all hostility. My volatility has brought me to the edge. Adjust the frequency and broadcast on channel three. I’ve found him on the open sea. The sun is setting. My palms are sweating. Hail that ship again. He’s turned his rudder, we’ve got a runner. Failure cannot win. "Fire! Fire!" You’re the admiral of the ocean sea and your body lies next to me. I found the way home, I need no guidance now. I miss your laughter. You put me under your spell, but I bid farewell.
