Better Than Nothing

I’ve been walking a thin straight line into the they depths of you
Lost my way under dim starlight with blackening hearts so true
Something’s better than nothing, better than nothing they say
Something’s better than nothing, better than nothing, not for me
You’ve been winding my gears so long, tangled blonde and blue
One track mind, subtle urgency, with darkening veins and you
Something’s better than nothing, better than nothing they say
Something’s better than nothing, better than nothing, not for me

Calliope's Comedy

Drag me away, I’ve nothing to say
I don’t want to be here anymore
A mountain of lies, an ocean of dreams
Things are so much harder than they seem
Lie, la lie, lie, lie
Lie, la lie, lie, lie
All you’re feeding me are lies
And all I wanted were your lies, so lie
Calliope, ecstatic harmony
Venom drips and fills this empty pool
Comedy, endless tragedy, honesty is lurking in the verse
Lie, la lie, lie, lie
Lie, la lie, lie, lie
All you’re feeding me are lies
And all I wanted were your lies, so lie

Pulling Away From You

If you’re letting go, I don’t want to be there
If you’re gonna fall, I’ll see you when you get here
But if it’s all for show, I don’t really want to
Once it’s gone, it’s gone
I don’t want to be the one to let it linger on
I’m pulling away from you
Do I really let go of anything that’s gone?
Once it’s yours it’s yours
I don’t want to be the one to let it carry on
I’m pulling away from you

Stardust

It’s more than what we’ve seen
Darker dreams we’ll never breathe
The moonlight’s died, there’s still a trace of stardust in your eyes
Hollow ecstasy has never been lost on me
A second chance to fly
Wings clipped, eyes gone blind
Am I still what you wanted before?
My thoughts compress
There’s a pounding here in my chest
Time collides with me, have I ever been what you need?
A black hole? Quick sand? Stolen turning the hour hand?
Am I falling back asleep? Falling asleep? Or just falling?
Am I still what you wanted before?

Ghost At Sea

I was just a ghost at sea
The daylight broke my thoughts with ease, but I couldn’t see
I was blind and out of luck
And longing for a silent love, but you were not the love that lead to me
The waves were warmed by the sun’s heat
The devil waited patiently, but I couldn’t see
Now run away without hiding and find a life that’s bittersweet
And call me when you’re in too deep
Know I, know I, know I don’t belong
Know I, know I, know I won’t last long
Broken pieces of a shell
The lightning struck this worn vessel, but I couldn’t see
Soggy dust what’s left of me
We’ll all be sand eventually, so live while you’re alive
Know I, know I, know I don’t belong
Know I, know I, know I won’t last long

Unknown

Are we going back to where we’re from
Without knowing just what we've done?
Just to get back, back to the start?
Just to get back, something that was never ours?
I’m not fading, I’m not faking
I’m not falling, I’m not crawling into the unknown
Are we burning a bed that’s never made?
Are we losing a game we’ve never played?
Just to get back, back to realize
Just to get back a stolen prize?
I’m not fading, I’m not faking
I’m not falling, I’m not crawling into the unknown
