Light as a plume
I was weightless at last
Ten out of ten
For a dive with no splash
It's not a sport
For the faint of heart
One for the win
Still, I sank like a stone
Rock bottom
And back from the deep end
Surfacing for air
No vital signs
To indicate
I’m not dead, not alive
I’m not dead, not alive
Tethered down
To the elephant in the room
Cut to the chase
I would rather be doomed
Than tantalized
By my silhouette
Set me loose
So that I can be free
To float away
And cling to the ceiling
A helium balloon
To decorate
To lift the mood
I’m not dead, not alive
I’m not dead, not alive
I’m not dead, I’m not alive
I’m not dead, I’m not alive
I’m not dead, not alive
I’m not dead, not alive
I’m not dead, not alive
I’m not dead
I’m not dead

Strange Love

Don’t wanna wait for you
'Cause I've got better things to do
But I know that I’m obliged to choose
To be alone or take your abuse
I don’t know you well
Do you know me at all?
Lately, I can’t tell
Is the world so small?
Estranged by our own—our own makeup
We’re strangers and I wonder does it feel
Strange, love? strange love
We’re entertaining a strange love
Strange love tears us asunder
Got other places to be
And there are things I wanna see but
Is there somewhere I’m truly free
Before you sink your claws into me?
Do you know me well?
I don’t know you at all
Lately, I can’t tell
Am I off the wall?
Till the deed is done and my mind made up
I’ll just stick to what I know
Though all I know is
Strange to you love, strange love
We’re entertaining a strange love
And strange love is not that simple
If only I could run from you
But there's no easy avenue
And I'm pained by the notion
That I'm just going cuckoo—koo—koo—koo
Strange love, strange love
We’re entertaining a strange love
Strange love tears us asunder
Is it strange to you, love?
Strange love, love
Strange love, love
Strange love
We’re entertaining a strange love

Sawtooth
Got killer instincts
One drop, I can smell the violence
Soft-talk can't get you out of this
You’re standing on the edge of my tank
So, undress your words
And jump right in
For better or worse
Tell me, can you feel it in the air?
History repeating
We’re caught in a constant loop
Run it from the beginning again
How long have we been talking in circles?
In a game of monkey in the middle
Don’t want your sugarcoating
No, no beating ’round the bush
I can only speak for me
It’s on the tip of my tongue
The tip of my tongue, yeah
But you gave it away
And now I’ve guessed it
It’s not what you say
It's how you say it
How you resist
Say it like you mean it
'Cause I can take it
How long have we been talking in circles?
In a game of monkey in the middle
Will we ever snap out of it?
No, I’m not your monkey in the middle

Did you wash up on the shore?
Spit out your salty words
Carry none home with you
Got stinging open wounds
Some days under pressure
I forget the weight of my words
Wear them like concrete shoes
And you’ll be sinking soon
If you build your shell strong enough
You can keep the light from entering
Revealing what's inside
If you hold your breath long enough
You can keep the moment alive
Till it's going, going, gone
Secrets lurking in the deep
Scattered on your bedroom floor
Snag you as you pass
Stirring up the past
But those days have long been over
Take a good look at yourself
Find the one beneath and then release
If we build this house strong enough
We can keep our ghosts from blowing in
And reeling us outside
If we hold our breath long enough
We can keep the moment alive
Before it drifts away
We can keep the moment alive
Till it's going, going, gone
