Sleepwalker 02:39
Sleepyhead, wake up Sleepyhead, wake up You found the wrong bed You've been sleepwalking again Sleepyhead, wake up Sleepyhead, disrupt Sleepyhead, wake up Sleepyhead, wake up The sun's in the sky Time to open your eyes Sleepyhead, wake up Sleepyhead, don't fuss You've been up all night There's stars in your eyes And I can see the moon in your face Sleepyhead, wake up Sleepyhead, wake up The morning has come And the moon's been undone Sleepyhead, surprise Sleepyhead, arise

You don't know where to start With her lightbulb heart That flickers off and on And comes back when it was gone You were there from the start And she's tearing you apart He fakes it through someway, somehow She wants it all and she wants it now When the pressure of the day Chips away at the paint There's only so much you can do What more could we want from you It's starting to get to him He's living life on a whim His heart is looking pretty dim Give him a spark, a chance to win

It's Sunday night and everything is closed Took what I could and ran out unopposed Street lights flicker on, the train moans The last thing I want to do is go home I ran right out of this place With tears running down my face Heels sticking out of my shoes Tried to run but it's no use Gonna take this frown and turn it upside down You can stay but I'm getting out of this town Rain hits the ground like the static on TV Gonna turn this dream into a reality This town's a fucking machine And I'm caught up in-between It's a place no one wants to be On eggshells constantly Missed the train, it went and came Spent the last bill to my name To catch a buzz and dim the fuzz That's been building inside for so long I wait for my head to spin The only game that I can win The street lights growing dim Will something please begin

Parasite 04:05
I just want to hold you tonight And I just want to hold you so tight I'll meet you there Next to the square Oh in my dreams I'll find you there Eyes meeting me Filled with defeat Wondering what Could've been I just want to hold you tonight And I just want to hold you so tight Now on the bus The two of us Corner back seats Our last retreat If it was meant to be It would've been Now I'm waiting here Are you waiting for me You'll fly to some foreign land With some European son To fight for something that never belonged Leave without care Leave me standing there Gritting my teeth A new enemy Bang on the ice Under your feet Then in a blink I wither and shrink Out of your sight A parasite

It's a long way to go Can't say hello I don't know where I'm going And I don't want to know I didn't mean to hurt you I didn't mean to make you cry How could I ever leave you With that look in your eye It's a long way down Can't make a sound I don't know where I'm going But I don't want to be found Just give me a place to be Back home in eternity Take me away from here Back where I'm meant to be I didn't mean to hurt you I didn't mean to make you cry I didn't know how to leave you Even though that's a lie I didn't mean to hurt you I didn't mean to make you cry I didn't know how to leave you Without it being a surprise Goodbye, sleep tight

This little house has everything we need It's not much but we've never known greed It's not much but it's alright with me It has what others don't see A little house without any weeds I'll dig the hole if you plant the seeds With all your flowers lined up evenly For the whole world to see But then one day a storm came through I thought I'd lost you In the clouds, where you'd never be found again The end This little house has everything we need But without you it means nothing to me Without you there's nothing to see Now I've let in the weeds
