Track Name: Paradise
You look perfect when you’re looking at me, me, me
You look perfect, you’re the only one that I can see
How do you move so perfectly?
Are you perfect, do you have a flaw, can I see?
Are you perfect even when you crawl on your knees?
How do you move so perfectly?

I wanna show you paradise
I wanna show you the flashing lights
They pour over you until the end of time
They illuminate inside

Got your pout on, rip roaring, sneering good
Going out, think you’re cool, you know you’re good
How do you move so perfectly?
Night is young, have some fun, it’s 3 a.m.
Look me up, look me down, see me as I am
How do you move so perfectly?

I wanna show you paradise
I wanna show you the flashing lights
They pour over you until the end of time
They illuminate inside
Track Name: Encircle Me
I wanna fight like no one’s ever learned to fight
Try as you might, you won’t corrupt me or change me
Oh can’t you see, I wanna love, I wanna be in love
I wanna grow 40 feet tall, it’s all I could ever ask for

A hundred faces in the room encircle me, encircle me
A thousand mirrors in the room encircle me, encircle me

Will it take another hour to unlock this newfound power?
Will it take another hour to undo milk that is sour?
Will it take all of my power to ascend the marble tower?
Will it take another hour to unlock this newfound power?

There’re bird sitting all in a line
Were they black this would be a sign
The sky is red as apple skin
Be sure to let the right one in
Track Name: Baklava
There’s a box made of gold and ivory
If you open it you will be shown to me
And the mirror falls into itself and heaven opens up
And the walls will close themselves and the light will darken

Do you know Pandora? She keeps a smile for you
Do you know Pandora? She walks ten miles for you

What is this smell so sweet and thick?
Permeating our warm air, baklava and incense sticks

Do you know Pandora? She keeps a smile for you
Do you know Pandora? She walks ten miles for you

In the newspapers, magazines, and TV screens,
I am here for you

Do you know Pandora? She keeps a smile for you
Do you know Pandora? She walks ten miles for you
Track Name: Atmos
The earth on her wheels, frictionless she glides
In heaven’s eyes, I am thrown aside
I’m cast like a di, like pearls before swine
The solar winds they sigh, and the stars align

Open the door and you’ll see everything
Open the door wider and you’ll see
A universe of light pouring down on me
Open the door and all the stars will sing
Open the door, filling everything
A universe of light pouring down on me

The sea holds her hands loosely clasped on land
She sings of ancient lands and turns her eye to man
Keep a wary eye, she sings, the sky is far too high a thing
To reach for, oh, her voice it rings, a somber green on everything

Open the door and you’ll see everything
Open the door wider and you’ll see
A universe of light pouring down on me
Open the door and all the stars will sing
Open the door, filling everything
A universe of light pouring down on me
Track Name: Horses
In the house of the full, shining moon
Responsibility you’re standing up so straight
The only one like that these days
Do you hear, do you wanna hear the truth?
Do you know, do you wanna know the love, the love, oh?
Can you feel, can you help me feel another side of this?
Do you wanna know, do you wanna know?

Horses will run and I will stay
If they had rooms, would they stay in them all the live long day?
My legs can barely even stand,
Such a heavy weight, just a grain of sand on this heavy heart and I’ll fall apart

In the sky they built better lights
Flexibility, you are a wind in the trees
Solidarity at the bottom of the sea
Can you hear, can you hear them sing this too?
Can you think, can you think of all the things that can’t be true?
Can you help me up, can you figure out the darker side of things?
Can you help me know, can you help me know?

Horses will run and I will stay
If they had rooms, would they stay in them all the live long day?
My legs can barely even stand,
Such a heavy weight, just a grain of sand on this heavy heart and I’ll fall apart
Track Name: Diamonds
Your hair has caught all the diamonds
Growing in their clouds
Laughing in their crowds
Purest of all waters, oldest of all of our fathers
Help me walk a little farther
Help me see a light from under
Your hair has caught all of the diamonds
All the diamonds

And if I’m asleep
And surely I am asleep
I’ll paint a picture of you
I’ll dream of you
And when I’m asleep
And only when I’m asleep
Every flower smells like you do
Every word is true, every word is true
Track Name: Synthetic Light
I know what you want, I know what you need
I know what you want, I know what you need

Synthetic light, light up the night
Plastic so bright, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
Synthetic light, light up the night
Plastic so bright, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it

I know what you want, I know what you need
I know what you want, I know what you need

I have a light shining in my eyes
It comes from your eyes
It is so bright
I don’t know why I can’t see at night
It should be this light, it should be this light

Synthetic light, light up the night
Plastic so bright, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
Synthetic light, light up the night
Plastic so bright, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
Track Name: Communion
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine,
Cum sanctis tuis in aeternum,
Quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine;
Et lux perpetua luceat eis;
Cum Sanctis tuis in aeternum,
Quia pius es
Track Name: Shade of Gray
This shade of gray on my face
On this day, fills the space
Between my breaths and what’s left
East to west
And hollow depths
This shade of gray on my face
On my face
