Track Name: endless eyes
i knew a girl who looked like oceans
endless eyes her endless eyes
and then one day
the thunder struck her
blue now grey
and oceans dry
there was a day
with the warmth of the sunshine
there she lay there she lay

and now I know
that I can't touch her
and soon she'll be gone
for the rest of my days

a ghost towards the planets
a lover thats lost
out to the west coast
where my memories lost
Track Name: bits of sleep
I could leave out from this place
Drive my car to outer space
I could leave this place behind
Oh I wonder what I'd find
Maybe I should sleep

Pretty girl with a pretty face
Seems the only reason that I'm in this place
Shes all smiles and talking sweet
but she has no interest and its wrong of me
Maybe I should sleep

Drank too much I should go home
Release my mind to the ghosts that roam
My bed is empty but my covers are warm
I've no idea where to call home

Maybe its bits of sleep
Track Name: sister flesh
Out through your window
While you were sleeping
You let the ghosts have their fill for the day
Bits of your body from corner to corner
You left your bones and your flesh on display

And the devil found you early on
Tearing slightly from your dreams
Tossing you from your window
Leaving your guts along the seam

And it'd be your sister
The one who would find you
bits of your body beneath her feet
and then your family would come claim the body
Where they had deeply sunk their teeth
Track Name: Ghost of a friend
Oh darlin oh darlin
away from me now
you've become a ghost and escape some how
oh out to the coast
I've a pint in my hand
and I can't explain things that I don't understand

Oh darlin Oh darlin
you'll be in my dreams
to the days of my last breath
when the devil lays claim
oh all your sweet kisses will carry me to
a place beyond places with memories of you

Oh darlin Oh darlin
oh where are you now
in the arms of another
but not smiling somehow
oh i drank all my whiskey
and I laughed with my friends
and I travel down roads
that don't have an end

Oh darlin oh darlin
a kiss while i sleep
these thoughts leave me restless
and cast me too deep
oh i never claimed to be a saint but i swear
when you leave this place my heart it will tear

Oh darlin oh darlin
oh now and again
i remember the days when the time stood on end
and if i never see you
oh ever again
I wish you the best
my beautiful friend
Track Name: gasoline planets
and everything smells like gasoline to me
and the bottles are all empty
and the cough it just gets worse
but I still insist on smoking

well i got to take my time
I got to slow it up
but theres never enough time
so how can i slow it up

they all seem self destructive
so I'll drive off from the earth
and they all seem to want something
but they don't know what it is
and I wish the world was flat
cause i'd drive off from the end
out around the planets
and I might be back again
Track Name: thick as thieves
and thick as thieves we are
till time steals it away
just like two shooting stars
set out to burn but never fade away

and in dreams i can recall
moments along the early days
the sunrise falls to break apart
and the dream shatters into a perfect maze

when the rain falls from your skin
in my bed while half awake
and your fingers stretch like trees
along the memories of our days

and the distance spans for miles
theres no map for the half awake
and even at the end of time
we will always meet and always share this space

when the stars fall from my skies
and distract me from the haze
you will swirl and turn like smoke
and warm the cold of lonely days
