Lyrics
I am one as you are three
Try to find messiah in your trinity
Your city to burn
Your city to burn
Try to look for something
In your city to burn, you’ll burn
Am I as I seem?
I’m down
Down, so down
Time is right for a guiding light
Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life
Your city to burn
Your city to burn
Try to look for something
In your city to burn, you’ll burn
See you, don’t you just want to
See you, I am one
See you, don’t you just want to
See you
See you, don’t you just want to
See you, I am one
See you, don’t you just want to
See you, I am one - 2 . Bury Me

Lyrics
(Over you, like an angel)
Bury me in love
Bury me in love
Shared your kisses
Shame your heart
Buried me and it hurts
I love my sister so (chain, unchain)
She don’t smother me (chain, unchain, unchain)
I played the spades I know (unchain)
I’m a jack of all trades
Would you bury me
Want to see her born inside (hide, hide)
Some of the things you just can’t hide
If you see her tell me why (hide, hide)
Why won’t she come outside
If you see her tell me why (hide, hide)
Why won’t she come outside
Want to see her born inside (hide, hide)
Some of the things you just can’t hide
She waits, bury me
She waits, bury me - 3 . Not Worth Asking
Lyrics
Not worth asking, who I’m supposed to be
Not worth saying, seems I’m free
Not worth reaching, to anyone at all
Not worth reaching out to stop this fall
I’m on my own
Yeah, I’m on my own
Not worth being, I might already be
I just want someone to reach for me
Not worth sinkin’, it’s not worth diggin’ down
I’ve been here before, and hate what I’ve found
It’s too late, too late
I’m on my own, I’m on my own
I’ve gotta go so far away
It’s too late, too late
I’m on my own, I’m on my own
I’ve gotta go so far away, so far away
Not worth asking, who I’m supposed to be
Not worth saying something, seems I’m free
Not worth reaching to anyone at all
Not worth reaching out, I’ll stop this fall
But I like you just the same
You’ve got to know some how
That I’m the one to blame
We’ve come so far along
To end this destiny
You’ve got to know somehow
That it’s too late, too late
I’m on my own, I’m on my own
I’ve gotta go so far away
Yeah, it’s too late, too late
I’m on my own, I’m on my own
I’ve gotta go so far away, so far away

Lyrics
Planned a show
Trees and balloons
Ice cream snow
See you in June
Could have known
I would reveal
Should have known
I would conceal your way
She knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
Colors show
After the moon
I should go
See you in June
Your way
And she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
Open your eyes to these mustered lines
Open your eyes to these mustered lines
The way
And she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How’s it she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows - 5 . Daydream

Lyrics
My daydream seems as one inside of you
Though it seems hard to reach through this life
Your blue and hopeless life
My daydream screams bitter 'til the end
The love I share -true- selfish to the heart
My heart, my sacred heart
My daydream dream
My daydream
My daydream dream
My daydream
- 1 . I Am One
