Cartoon Heart

Looking to find you in maps of the world
A tiny train on rainbow tracks
Zooming through the memory zoo
Where I keep my wildest memories of you

We sailed to the edge of the carpet sea
We slow-danced in a music box
We painted each other to the moon
But the animation always ends to soon

I don't know where my head has been
Since the night you broke my cartoon heart

Surgery dressed in a playful wink
A tinfoil smile and a cardboard cage
The ceiling keeps the night at bay
But suddenly the future seems so far away

I don't know where my head has been
Since the night you broke my cartoon heart

You're the fourth dimension

Wolf Moon

Every bullet I buy
Is silver turned to gold
Just buying the time
To let your forests burn
And watch the wolf moon arise

The banshee song will drive you up the wall
You see yourself in every crystal ball
It scares you to pieces

You don't even know yourself
You don't even know yourself

Freeze frame
Bloodstain
Sweet tooth
Daybreak

They say what doesn't kill you only makes you strong
I'm just helping the night along

Ashes

Fate misled, left me sleeping in your head
Catch the cold to keep from growing old
And where logic stands, hatred only stood
I don't understand, but sometimes life is good

Their advice; rivers don't run twice
But what's to do when your river's frozen through
Your carpet will thaw, so never fear
Though we sing your songs, you're too far away to hear

Giving into your desire again, and I wait for you
Dying stars burst into fire again, as I wait for you

Pacing in the glory dark
Set fire to your weary heart
'Cause in the ashes new beginnings start
