What Fire 04:36
so you’re older love, and you’re over love shaking it off you say you're fine but it's eating you, yea it eats me too what do we do we’ll lose our minds but oh. don’t let go it’s easier to be left alone but time will never fly without you here by my side all the falling leaves a feeling trying to fight to fight to fight what we could be there’s a fire all around here baby baby baby babe speak to me hard to tell if it’s workin’ need to know i’m buggin’ can you feel it in your heart even loving needs an answer baby baby baby babe come to me so you’re on your own but are you ever alone? thinking you’d miss what’s never there better let it die, than to have to try you’re building it up and breaking down but oh, don’t say you know it’s just as well to never show but i, see through the signs you’ve said your lines, i'm changing mine
2.
Slow Burn 02:57
It takes love to get higher than your drug it takes drugs to get higher than your love try it again, and again, and again running looking around, feeling out of sorts if it’s even a touch, lifts you high above thinking it’s right, yea it’s right, yea it’s right she screams of a girl that you already knew her face is a whirl and you can’t tell who’s who it's a slow burn, it's a slow burn you look in her eyes but you can't see the light nothing is right, but she's staying the night it's a slow burn, it's a slow burn it takes love to get higher than your drug sliding through your mind like you’re out of time sinking again, and again, again it takes drugs to get higher than your love he who finds the vein, never lives in vain going around, and around and around you’re finding your way, and you’re never ok you open your mouth but there's nothing to say it's a slow burn, it's a slow burn you read all the signs, but the rest is a lie you look in the light, all you see is her eyes it's a slow burn, it's a slow burn

The Undertow 03:02
I’m a sleeper, i’m a sleeper in your choir Oh messiah, i get higher in your fever I can be one, hand on the gun shoot like a diamond out of the sun Can you hear me? Can you see me now i’m naked Put me somewhere, put me somewhere near the ocean Where do we go, out in the tow? Finally be a part of the show? I used to believe it would be easier Isn’t there something else for me? It's the money, it's the money I can't deal with I'm a lover need a lover I can be with I wanna die light in my eyes Don’t want to suffocate in a mine Digging around to find the future Isn’t there something else for me?

Interlude 01:55

Afterglow 03:41
Had to tell everyone that i know couldn’t wait for long to show your energy There’s a song all around you and me But you pull it down for all The world to see Now you’re running in and out of my head can’t get you out it’s like You put me in some kind of dream… Oh Ariel, your love is a carousel Can’t wait to pretend and oh in the end You turn me round and round With all of your love, all of your love In the land of the sun and the stars you melt it all into one won’t you take me there Through the layers of the weird and the cool you make it seem so new yea you’re always on Up and down, bouncing around through the times in your ever changing mind yea you pull me in…and lay me out With all that sound Can’t get it out Your perfect hair You’re everywhere You make it real, make it real... oh Ariel, your love is a carousel can’t wait to pretend and oh in the end you turn me round and round

This could be the end Try to make amends Baby there’s another face I can feel it in your cold embrace I can say for sure when you close the door we can start the back and forth it’s a feeling i can take no more But all in all Love is a game and you play it but you don’t know why you do Love is a game And you need it but you don’t know how it’s true Love is a game Though it was the one driving in the sun Taking all the other turns I could feel it stinging all the burns But i don’t know if you want to face the truth Baby how can i decide When your memories all i have to guide at all all in all, in all Love is a game and you play it but you don’t know why you do Love is a game And you need it but then again do you? Love is a game It’s working in your mind but you’re changing all the time maybe there’s a place to love but is it here and now and lately you’re amazed at the people in their place ordinary isn't love and you're always above above… Love is a game and you play it but you don’t know why you do Love is a game And you need it but you don’t know why you do Love is a game and you want it, and you feed it all the time all the time ohhh Love is a game

Face the Sun 03:37
When life just gets you down and heartbreak’s all around Remember when you had what you had can you still hear her laugh? Well people come and go But your heart must beat alone Live and love and die by the changes you’ve yet to see who you are Everyone face the sun play the game, play the game taken only by the lonely, here’s an answer Everyone face the sun When life just gets around And your heart beats up and down you wonder if you got what you came for if you’re here for anything at all But you take it all in stride 'Cause the love lives on inside Throwing everything in the fire shape your feelings out of the flame Everyone face the sun Lady lay, lay with me Taken only by the lonely here’s an answer Everyone face the sun
