Hologram 03:36
I can’t help thinking over you You’re like a phantom in your patent shoes And I get stressed out when you don’t come around You’re like an apparition, Like I fell in love with a hologram And when you see my face Do you feel messed up and out of place? ‘Cause I do And when you don’t come around I feel washed out Like I fell in love with a hologram You can’t just disappear It doesn’t happen like it does in the story books I’ll take my head out the sand and look for you And when you walk by my house Do you look through my window to see if I’m about? ‘Cause I am, but I don’t see you I feel bleached out Like I fell in love with a hologram

Coffee eyes looking in my mind Morning light creeping through the blind You get dressed and you play your song You play it Creeping in my mind Looking through the blind I feel like somebody else I hold the words in my mouth, Hoping they’ll never come out Early night, take me for a ride Daisy white with your mother’s eyes My hand runs through your tangled hair I need it I feel like somebody else I fear I’ve never been myself Never meant to pull you down Please never let your love run out
3.
Love U Bad 03:07
I wanna drink your love I wanna lap you up I wanna stop by your house when nobodies around I wanna love you bad I’m like a pale drug You wanna use me up And yeah, I’ll crawl back to you when I’m broken in two I wanna love you bad
4.
Cherry 03:13
Follow me home It’s too dark to see down the road that I go And I’ve been drinking I won’t say no, I’ll let you in You sit down but I don’t ‘Cause I’ve been drinking Sweet cherry, wherever have you been? I’m weak, forever in-between Heal me Don’t need another day, don’t need another week of this Followed you home You let me in so I sat and I smoked And you’d been drinking Our friends said you’d changed But you’re the same old stranger in the same old bed With that same old head That stupid head

Maui 01:38
6.
Oh my babe, you put me in a shallow grave In a sunflower garden on a sunny day Oh my babe, you keep my head beneath the waves At a quiet beach somewhere on a holiday Oh my babe, you put me in an early grave In the nightshade garden near the byway Oh my babe, you caught me looking at your face I’d convinced myself that I’d never love again God save my beating heart I wish I never crossed your path God save my beating heart Goddamn my beating heart I thought I knew you from the start Goddamn my beating heart
7.
Sang Noir 02:31
A cherry mist comes over me Chemical, head down to my feet And I wonder how you made me this way Sang Noir Good heart turned bad just like I saw from the start A wave of hands cling to my bones And whisper ‘hello’ in muted tones And I wonder how you made it so I couldn’t feel alive on my own
8.
Hot Air 02:18
I’m a hot air balloon Promise that I’ll come back soon I’ve been floating around Been years since I saw the ground I’m a hot air balloon I set a course to the moon She said ‘You’re so out of touch, And sweetheart, you still drink too much.’
9.
It's Too Bad 03:43
Saw you in our favourite place, And I walked away Swear I see you everywhere but you don’t see me Wondered if you’d recognise me Since I changed my hair Guess it hasn’t been that long but you were never really there I built a wall in front of me I made a mountain out of nothing I saved a place for only you You made a stranger out of me And It’s too bad I don’t wanna see my friends, ‘Cause they’re your friends as well And I don’t wanna see your family when I’m in town ‘Hey, what’s new? Yes I’m well I’m doing it all by myself’
10.
Hush 04:23
Where did all my colour go? I’m all washed out Like a man in a silent film I can’t scream out The walls have eyes, they follow me Bloody nose and dirty knees, I run away But the past is a clever thing It’s always in front of me Laughing, joking, I can’t wake Held a singing bird in a pale room, I wonder: ‘Will the devil be home soon?’ No windows or doors, only ocean and cloud And I don’t wanna find my way out So baby, hush Where did all our shadows go? The sun came out Now I’m split in two A hollow song creeps from my mouth The walls have ears, they listen Held a singing bird in a pale room, I wonder: ‘Will the devil be home soon?’ Is this my heaven or is this my hell? I don’t think I wanna find out So baby, hush
