i will wait in a line for the club lights to hypnotize move as one in a night when the beats hit like we're aligned like birds on a wire we'll hold on that much i will be compromised by a heart beat laced you tap my spine feel the mercury climb when the club lets out the quick decline with confidence rise as phoenix we fly but conquered we lie gravity catches up
2.
Surrender 03:37
hands over my head face down i surrender love is taking me in open shut undefended in the back of my head there is time i could still get away if i tried a crowd has gathered begin gloves out undefeated down on the first hit i will stay down if this is it in the back of my head there is time i could still get away if i tried this is it it unfolds in a current too strong letting go finally this is it it unfolds carried off in a flood there is no stopping

Profile 04:27
5'10" 135 brown hair blue eyes light skin 26 status: negative in search of conversation name withheld just drop me a line i will get back to you alright in my sweet time in a dry spell ideal hotlist: versatile club kid 18-29 same only need reply in search of conversation name withheld just drop me a line i will get back to you alright in my sweet time in a dry spell
4.
Turn & Go 03:25
whisper in my ear and i hear the sea wild and fierce and so far reaching it is not what i want floating past me it is not what i want to sink underneath i don't know your arms are the earth folding up around me comforting gradually burying there is not what i want in a mountain peak there is not what i want in a valley deep i don't know a heart of gold can't glisten in this winter rain turn and go don't wander in this storm again
5.
hanging on in the dusk shadows long vanising anodyne in my blood fade me out into sleep with a pull on a thread and a split fall back open what a fool to believe for a minute that could hold it waking up in the white sharp daylight breaking feel the lift wearing off heavy mind aching hanging on like a scar staying on haunting on the mend just enough to pass as if healing with a pull on a thread and a split fall back open what a fool to believe for a minute that could hold it
6.
something i should have done a long time ago but just kept it hanging over somewhere i never went but wanted to go out into the open it was a long year and i wasted it now each breath's getting shorter get it over with but i'm not convinced it will lift my shoulders nothing i could've said my mouth wouldn't move when the words entered my head frozen in place like a monument to silent death when i wake up from a dream of true love and filter it a far away look like a suspect nervous in a line up locked in slow motion until this is through and it's kill or be killed i'm facing up to it with nothing to lose the decision made itself i will say it
7.
Reverse 05:22
from a distance i hear it crying out a choir of voices singing oh you've done it now to satisfy the crowd in a slight of hand and a burst of light they walk you through the motions and you will rise tonight over the fires high if you fall into their arms you lose everything is coming unglued and the hardest part's in front of you out of your hands giving up to reverse they're closing in on every other side draw the curtains tight lock up in a room in a lonely fit of certainty they are onto you not any sudden moves don't remember when but along the line a tunnel vision one solution crept up you're holding out for love let the cutts close up before you move you're adament this is your time make a fuss with nothing to lose and your eyes lock in to see it through your head in the mouth of a lion your knees giving in under you reverse they're closing in on every other side
8.
Antidote 05:26
forked tongue venom cold in my veins overtaking antidote break open truth word for word take when my final sun has set if you're staring up at it i want to know i hope i go out as i came in when i'm burning through the clouds and the rain is falling out i want to know i hope i go out as i came in
9.
are you staying or going we're leaving the driveway we'll call if it's close no don't you worry follow the light over leave us behind hello she will be here not too many more days speak up in a hurry so there won't be pain follow the light over leave us behind put my face in a shoulder red eyes that are swollen the pipes of the organ a little consolation follow the light over leave us behind ascend in the night away
