Skin 03:32
I could pin the moment down on fly paper Spread its wings so wide How unlike the moment resolve left her And I could mount it on a wall or save it in a cigar box Or I could hide it Paper once was skin Stretched out and pounded thin Dip your knife in ink you gotta cut it in How else will they know it's a sin? I built you a glass terrarium and I let moss block out the sun I catalogued your growing delirium You know my flash kills better than any gun And I could mount it on a wall or save it in a cigar box Or I could hide it Paper once was skin Stretch me out, pound me thin Dip your knife in ink you gotta cut it in How else will I know it's a sin? (I'm gonna do what it takes to win)

Cold Hands 02:47
We rented a boat down in shipbreaker bay Swam ashore with clothes in the bags upon our backs Looking for pretty girls who'd come up to us and say Take me home, you should take me home Away from home we're free we're jobless I saved up just to act damned and godless But they tell me it's a crime To remember you only run out of time And I don't know if once I'm home I'll still believe I can change anything that's been keeping me down From the prow of our boat I reach out with your arm and say Oh look, we could save these drowning stars Neck deep in the bay, oh how your eyes betray A desperate hope in a waterlogged future of ours Away from home we're free we're jobless I saved up just to act damned and godless But they tell me it's a crime To remember you only run out of time And I don't know if there's a home Where I'll believe I can change anything that's been keeping me down Girl, lately I been feeling forgettable And so although my actions were regrettable You won't forget me or the feeling Of my cold hands curled around your heart

Turing 03:30
My love died young, not like I ever had much hope In the heavens we make to help us cope Cause when you're gone, you're gone Broke Enigma, yeah I won you the war Now those secrets are locked up behind closed doors And yeah, the keepings tough Who warms my bed? Who links my cuffs? Darling, my darling It's hardly a paradox to have only wires for your blood Or to hang a heart on a wall, watch it tick like a clock You're a lovely machine And then I had a terrible day I forgot everything they expect you to say So I took the shots and I took all your pills That's not science, boy, and I'm not ill "Dip the apple in the brew, let the sleeping death seep through" Well we're only machines that die Our parts disintegrate in between the soil and the sky Until the earth gets swallowed by our star Well we'll be atoms again And no matter how much I might wish that I could be where you are Gone is too far
