switch on switch off switch on switch off switch on switch off switch on switch off switch on switch off switch on switch off switch on switch off switch on switch off switch on switch off switch on switch off
switch on erratic behavior
switch off the smile on his face
it was an honest mistake
swivel chairs shaking hands
why would she leave?
i can’t help thinking this is on me
empty headed for a hemorrhage
it’s nothing less than instinct
a special way to deal with things
switch off switch on switch off
creativity, it waits for me
there’s no way this is healthy
we have only one night alone
you should come to my place
i need some help with this primal feeling
i’ll be your charity case
you can be my surrogate love
i’m just a lightbulb, simple
my main weapon is idleness
and you just cannot help me through this
a drum machine will tell you when i’m dead
the siren in my head is all that’s screaming
switch on the wandering mind
switch off creativity
how can i create when this is on me?
where did you go? what did i do wrong?
i think i need some help
how could i just let this slip away?
i must’ve drugged myself
tension pulling at my drowning cornea
i can’t even sit straight
where has everyone around me gone?
i might be dying
i think i’m dying - Track Name: Wind Tunnel (Remix)

a turn of the cheek
and we’re left off at a place we don’t belong
your face is hinting at your disrepair
the way your stare invites me
i wanna make it through with you
as we travel through this wind i cry
“i hope we make it out alive”
we’re getting closer, can you tell?
help me down this path you know so well
we’re moving on in strides but i don’t even see this place
there is no trace of seabreeze here
how could we make it through?
the way the trees look down
it makes me think of giving into all these sins around me
we’re stuck alone in here and we’re still fighting
but as we travel through this wind i cry
“i hope we make it out alive”
we’re getting closer, can you tell?
help me down this path you know too well
they push apart from up above
this needn’t split between us now
i’ll hold your hand until the dawn
we must persist, we’re moving on
this i must finish without you
the best i hope you feel it too - Track Name: Closet Freak
-
sitting in her room she curses all she sees
it’s not me
with little hope she tries to feel alive
she’s hanging on with heroin and white lies
it’s the little words that make her cry
that little closet freak
hiding behind the sheets
don’t let her see you there
giving you her closet stare
she won’t admit, she won’t submit
she won’t admit, she won’t submit
i hope she hears the voice; can you?
when all the pretty boys came out to play
she stayed beneath the sea
the serpent’s kiss
they could not defy the hatred she released
that little closet freak
hiding behind the sheets
don’t let her see you there
giving you her closet stare
that little closet freak
she’s cold and feeling weak
don’t let her see you there
giving you her closet stare
she won’t admit, she won’t submit
she won’t admit, she won’t submit
when they left her all alone she couldn’t make it up to breathe
descent to misery
a way out of the cold she couldn’t see
she lost it on that day
they ripped it all away
that little dirty closet freak
i hope she hears the voice; can you? - Track Name: Left in Ignorance
-
back to my home now
how long has it been?
can’t even remember
where i put the keys
i’ll sip my coffee, have a drink
slip off your shoes, stay a while
i love your company
i haven’t had in years
such a long time, been away
this is so familiar, but something’s lost
i wish it were easy
to recall your name
i wish you’d look the way i tell you
it’s not that way
such a long time, been away
this is so familiar, but something’s lost - Track Name: The Unspeakable Things (Remix)

Never said that we couldn’t do
what we shouldn’t say
Never found a reason to resist the sensation
I know you like it more than you show
‘cause discrete is so much better
I like to keep you on your toes
get that kink out of your system and
I love the way you jump into
my arms in elation
I take my bad days out on you
and I know you like it
get in you know just what to do
let’s do all the unspeakable
I take my bad days out on you
let’s do all the unspeakable
Your body, my sweet crutch
Your scent, my inebriation
My love, your hold together
My sex, your addiction
get in you know just what to do
let’s do all the unspeakable
I take my bad days out on you
let’s do all the unspeakable
