Hidden friends clutch your hands you are assured by whisperers in corners we are not pure this is how you'll get to know them now this is how you'll get to know them now snake handlers, charlatans know when you're nigh like little sleeping daggers rise to the eye this is how you'll get to know them now this is how you'll get to know them now

Rose, rose-patterned walls, Someone said you're not all Rose, rose-patterned walls, Someone told, you're not all. Someone said you are not right. Rose, rose-patterned walls, Vines and green things grow Closed from any sun Under glass While you're gone. Someone said you are not right. You seemed very sweet As you put marks on me Vines that twine around Ankles invisibly Someone said you are not right. Rose, rose-patterned walls...

I am not nice I am an awful dream I will not lie I am an awful dream I will not lie I am not nice but i am true What the world does I won't do. a steady noise useless electric lights a steady noise useless electric lights the barkers' cries convincing you to try the barkers' cries convincing you to try I am not nice but i am true What the world does I won't do. and all along as if they're in the room and all along as if they're in the room a ruined square where vendors never cease a ruined square where vendors never cease I am not nice but i am true What the world does I won't do. I am not nice.

It's getting automatic, This losing all we know We're going automatic, We're losing all we know Go back before you learn This was not made for you Go back before you learn This was not made for you Blank out the alphabet, Blank out the alphabet, Dangerous neighborhoods Created overnight. Blank out the alphabet A letter at a time Go back before you learn This was not made for you The dolly shoes that lie in The wreckage all unreal Go back before you look Treacherous images Go back before you look You were not made for this Blank out the alphabet, Blank out the alphabet, Dangerous neighborhoods Created overnight. Blank out the alphabet A letter at a time Ruins in sillouette All grown up overnight We're going automatic we're losing all we know We're going automatic we're losing all we know I heard it in the alarm Treacherous images I heard it in the alarm We were not made for this Blank out the alphabet, Blank out the alphabet, Dangerous neighborhoods Created overnight. Blank out the alphabet A letter at a time Ruins in sillouette All grown up overnight All grown up overnight

Ribbons 01:09
Ribbons in your horse's hair you play at being here separated from the world untethered, unaware Scratches shoulders bare nothing holds you here nothing to hold you you you here here Kitten with the cloudy eye lit as if from nowhere perfume pouring on the sand maybe you'll disappear Scratches shoulders bare nothing holds you here nothing to hold you you you here here

The Party 03:26
The people will sparkle as much as the ice reflecting like crystal their teeth and their eyes their glasses refilled, their talk flashing so there's nothing to scare me so why don't i go? Oh decorations they all will be out and there will be delicate food for all mouths in the back hall hang their beautiful coats there's nothing to scare me so why don't i go? why don't I go? The people will sparkle as much as the ice reflecting like crystal their teeth and their eyes their glasses refilled, their talk flashing so there's nothing to scare me so why don't i go? why don't I go? why don't I go? . . . the party. . .

Gone 02:12
Although you're still the one although you're still Although you're still the one you're gone you're gone you're gone and this is how it is time stretches out and you are growing small you're gone keeled over by the wall all light and sparse the temperature is still the faces watch you're gone you're gone you're gone You glow out of the gloom your teeth in plums your gorgeous ruff of fur is gone and this is how it is time tightens in so sharp and scarce it always wins you're gone you're gone you're gone, gone, gone

Carnival Wearing Thin Kitten with cloudy eyes, lit as if from nowhere, perfume poured on the sand maybe you'll disappear Carnival wearing thin, Carnival wearing thin, Carnival wearing thin, maybe you'll disappear tea set charms in the cogs of the rollercoaster tea set charms in the cogs of the rollercoaster Carnival wearing thin, Carnival wearing thin, Carnival wearing thin, maybe you'll disappear slot machine, all the time, spilling out disasters slot machine all the time you never think it matters Carnival wearing thin, Carnival wearing thin, Carnival wearing thin, of the rollercoaster of the rollercoaster of the rollercoaster.

The Bee Ride 02:00
We girls ride the Bee Ride above the facade, dolled up, mesmerizing, gold sparkles, curled up snails From here we see the ferris wheel turned on its side turned on its side Princess, bring me your jewelled eyes. Princess, bring me your jewelled eyes.

We have lingered long enough in the war we made we have lingered long enough in the war we made Lucky and unlucky ones, lucky and unlucky ones lucky and unlucky wait lucky and unlucky ones, lucky and unlucky ones lucky and unlucky stay Desperate lists of happy things cover certain crimes Desperate lists of happy things cover certain crimes Lucky and unlucky ones, lucky and unlucky ones lucky and unlucky wait lucky and unlucky ones, lucky and unlucky ones lucky and unlucky stay We have lingered long enough.

The Switch 01:53
birds fall all over me with wings outspread and I will never see your face again i cried for little flies when they were dead, but i will never be that way again now that i know what all children dread i wish i was in the dark again i wish that i was in the dark again. when you flip the switch by the bed and all the light comes pouring on again, you can see clearly the things that you dread and you will never be the same again now that i know what all children dread i wish i was in the dark again i wish that i was in the dark again.

Zero Years 02:49
We are living in the zero years plenty to prove, plenty to fear we are living in a blank in time no one knowing what they will be named We are living in a blank in time no one knowing what they will be named You can't help it you are seeing signs that we're living in the end of times then the only thing that can go wrong is if the end doesn't come along then the only thing that can go wrong is if the end doesn't come along We are living in the zero years plenty to prove, plenty to fear It's the same in every town I'm in Zeros stretching over everything It's the same in every town I'm in Zeros stretching over everything we are living in a blank in time

Kassandra 02:14
the fortune that no one believes stays always a surprise. the future no one can believe stays always a surprise. there is nothing under your feet there is nothing under your feet close your eyes and disappear. under all this the very place loose coins in floorboards shine under all this the very place loose coins in floorboards shine there is nothing under your feet there is nothing under your feet close your eyes and disappear.
