Beautiful Darkness (Suburban sounds) 05:07
lyrics
buy track
In the city streets Where you first found your peace With all the troubled dreams Tangled at your naked feet There's a terrible storm cloud around your head It's taking over our hearts It starts so small Then the black water breaks around you When you lose your head like that I get so scared Sometimes There's a beautiful darkness inside your head It's taking over our hearts It's taking over our hearts When you walk into the middle of the city there is no one Though you try to keep your head above the water you are drowning There's a terrible storm cloud around your head It's taking over our hearts

Quiet Love (Household sounds) 04:55
lyrics
buy track
I'm alright being alone for a while With window panes and a comfortable rain I'm alright drowning my head in it all A thunder storm is good for the brain Moving slowly Barely breathing Ours is a quiet love Why this vacant, Fixed expression? Ours is a quiet love But I won't be leaving my heart in the flood A broken heart is stronger than none So don't ask me to color in my world with your name A lonely love will bury the pain Moving slowly Barely breathing Ours is a quiet love Hold me gently Palms wide open Ours is a quiet love Moving slowly Barely breathing Ours is a quiet love Why so vacant, Fixed expression? It's only the end of the world

No Conversation (Office sounds) 05:15
lyrics

Cornered in by conversation Drowning out the foreign words I can hear the distant whispers I can feel the nameless voices Searching every name and whisper For a friendly face Finding none We don't need more confrontations We don't need your hesitations Here Swallow every hidden comfort By the face that pulls you in Searching every name and whisper For a clean escape Finding none We don't need more confrontations We don't need your hesitation We don't need more conversations We don't need your hesitations Here Do they send you out On your own again Into the driving rain Better hold me down Wait for the warming sun Oh the talk goes on Oh they send you out Into the driving rain Better hold me down Wait for the warming sun We don't need your conversations We don't need your hesitation Here

Girl I Knew (Kitchen sounds) 03:00
lyrics
buy track
We're older now You stumble through the room You're angel bright, Electric blue, Each labored breath The girl I knew Each labored breath The girl I knew We're colder now Stumble... Your ancient eyes Hollowed through, Each aching bone The girl I knew Each aching bone The girl I knew

Machines (Industrial sounds) 03:47
lyrics
buy track
When the hour wraps it's fingers 'Round the bones of your skinny wrists Will they spin us ugly stories From the ash and dust of our lowly blood? Communicate your fault If it doesn't break your heart I know what you have done I know... Does it build up all around you? Do you buckle beneath the weight? I know what you have done I know what you have done I know what you have done I know...

A Silent Car Ride (Traffic sounds) 04:34
lyrics
buy track
We pull remaining fragments Sunk deep inside our bodies Of pointed words we both regret Then retire to the choirs Of wicked, stubborn silence Till rescued by the stereo Tugging at the strings that pull apart The pieces of your photogenic heart Does this make sense? Eyes firm and standing sentry Through crenellated temple Nothing breaks your fortress walls In tearful tones you whispered Your bitter revelation: Kiss me or we'll turn to stone Tugging at the strings that pull apart The pieces of your photogenic heart Does this make sense?

A Dream of You (Wind & rain sounds) 05:50
lyrics
buy track
I dreamed of you today You felt so far away What more do you want me to say? I dreamed of you today When the daylight breaks I let you fade away What more do you want me to say? I dreamed of you today Putting your beautiful brain in a box Putting your beautiful brain in a box I dreamed of you today We felt so far away What more do you want me to say? I dreamed of you today Putting your beautiful brain in a box Putting your beautiful brain in a box Putting your beautiful brain in a box Putting your beautiful brain in a box
