Sound the alarm Something is rising From the depths of the unknown The Mariana Trench Thirty-six thousand feet below Sound the alarm Something is rising It is ancient and unknown From the depths of The Mariana Trench Thirty-six thousand feet below It's coming for your mind First you see it rising like a plume of smoke Then you hear it Don't you fear It's well beyond your control It's coming for your mind

There's Something Strange about her love That keeps me coming home Might be her grace as she moves on the ground Or the way that I feel in my bones The whirlwinds are blowing Within me it's growing It's almost impossible I can barely contain But there's Something Strange about her love That keeps me from holding it down There's Something Strange about her song And every melody she speaks I've seen the way that she's tall and she's strong And sometimes she's beautifully weak The whirlwinds are blowing Within me it's growing It's almost impossible I can barely explain But there's Something Strange about her love That keeps me from finding the words No longer lonesome I am leaves on the breeze She saw through the darkness And took hold of my disease But I wasn't always like this, no I wasn't always so free That's why her sweetness tastes so damn good to me There's Something Strange It runs through the veins Of the years that we've shared in our lives She sets me free and I always return That's the way that our souls have survived The whirlwinds are blowing Within me it's knowing It's oh-so impossible To deny this refrain But there's Something Strange about her love That keeps me coming home

Seattle 02:53
I want to travel I want to watch the wonders of the world be unraveled I'm searching for my sign I'm not wasting any time That's why I'm going to Seattle And when I see you God knows the lonely nights that I've been longing to meet you Take my memories from the past And surrender to their battles Pack up I'm going to Seattle That'll be the day I swear Let go and throw my hands straight up into the air Will you catch me if I fall in love this time? My heart is hoping To speak the secret word and find the door that it opens For so long I've run my mouth But my words are running out I am a constant growing shadow Illumination Elusive! Will it come if I accept invitation? Do I even have a choice It's the first I've heard your voice And I've been waiting for so long That'll be the day I swear Let go and throw my hands straight up into the air Will you catch me if I fall in love this time? That'll be the day...

There is a light inside the sky When you try to look it burns behind your eyes I know these open-ended queries with no answers form our boundaries They make me want to cry The time we hold is often brief Bound down to the ground by the gravity of grief I know that every one of us aches from a place deep inside We wait for our release Do you wish that you were lighter than the air Oil on the water, or ashes like you were never there? I know you long to trade your arms for wings And leave behind your words for a Voice That Only Sings Are you afraid to be a child again, Yet unbroken by the dangers of the wilderness? I know it's love that tore you down Oh, how you used to dance But now you're pieces on the ground Do you wish that you were lighter than the air Oil on the water, or ashes like you were never there? I know you long to trade your arms for wings And leave behind your words for a Voice That Only Sings Please I beg you not to let me go We are all tied together by each and every hand we hold I know the day will come when we all return to our home in the sun But until then we remain forever young Do you wish that you were lighter than the air Oil on the water, or ashes like you were never there? I know you long to trade your arms for wings And leave behind your words for a Voice That Only Sings Leave behind your words for a Voice That Only Sings

Acid Love 03:57
Could I please stay with you? Thoughts of a lifetime alone Drove me all this way Just to say hello I watched your world go by Wishing you well for a while Dangling your pearls Just before my eyes Take me inside I swear I'm man enough Take me alive To drown in Acid Love Take of what I'm made of Let's break our backs in two Both of our bones be anew Tangled in a twirl Crashing to the ground Death be the price, I'd pay For love is all I can take Heavy in the sky We begin to rise Take me inside I swear I'm man enough Take me alive To drown in Acid Love Take of what I'm made of
