Luminous 05:23
We are the luminous ones of forever, My dear I'm The sun if you're the moon and pretty soon I'll eclipse you We are the luminous ones of forever, My friends Don't you worry about the times to follow, I'll carry you where the morning has no end We are the luminous reflection of the sun that's soon to come You see it rise, and it falls, it bleeds red as it's gazing back at us Soon the moon will bleed blood red above our heads Then the sun will rise and save her, give her a kiss on her forehead I Am coming back for you, I'm gonna give you My name Don't you listen to those liars, I'm for real and they're just fakes I Am coming back for you, I'm gonna steal you away Disappear into the glowing air, get lost in outer space She looks good in yellow, when she's not wearing white Helps me see the straight and narrow when I'm blinded in the night You're My beauty queen, if you know just what I mean You shot me from your bow like an arrow and I landed on the scene I Am coming back for you, I'm gonna give you My name Don't you listen to those liars, I'm for real and they're just fakes I Am coming back for you, I'm gonna steal you away Disappear into the glowing air, get lost in outer space I, I need some water cause I'm burning lately, I, I I, I need someone to hurry up and save me I Am coming back for you, I'm gonna give you My name Don't you listen to those liars, I'm for real and they're just fakes I Am coming back for you, I'm gonna steal you away Disappear into the glowing air, get lost in outer space I'm comin' back for you, I'm comin' back for you, I'm comin' back for you, for you honey I'm comin' back for you, I'm comin' back for you, I'm comin' back for you, for you honey I'm comin' back for you, I'm comin' back for you, I AM COMIN BACK FOR YOU, FOR YOU, FOR YOU, for me, FOR YOU

Moonlight 04:42
Do you hear the buzz between the birds and bees It's in the air blowing through the trees Something here no longer feels the same The two of you were trying to hide In the shade of a tree on the other side Darkness could never hide your beauty from My eyes Whoa, Oh Caught on fire with desire turned our backs to the sun Whoa, Oh I used to hold you so close that we looked like one Oh, My dear I wish it wasn't so Seems that now, you have to go I've hidden this place until the day I can come take you away Even in all the pain dear child When the moon bleeds bloodshot red in your eyes Just move and sway, just move and sway let The Spirit take you away Whoa, Oh Caught on fire with desire under sheets of the sun Whoa, Oh I was holding you so close that we looked like one Moonlight stole your heart Before our love could even shed a spark Hold on until you see the sunrise I'm standing there waiting with fire burning in My eyes We are all ships searching for lover's shores Hearts are now anchored we're searching no more Braving our way through the darkest of night Dressed in the skin of Your luminescent light Moonlight stole your heart Before our love could even shed a spark Hold on until you see the sunrise I'm standing there waiting with fire burning in My eyes Standing there waiting with fire burning in My eyes

Scales 04:30
We've got two eyes on you You have none on me We're taking all that you stole You're blinded by your greed (that green) We are waking up While you're falling asleep We will take you down Make you fall down to your knees Sugar daddy, fly on a trap Stuck on that honey, money mister give it back Show yourself off that stage So we can fix the mess you made You've been playing the scales, and you're found guilty Turn the tables downside up Cause you lined your pockets with blood You could never get enough Now we're stripping you bare like a flood You've been playing the scales, and you're found guilty I've been paying your bail, and I found that you owe me I want you to know, what you forged by hand will turn to sand Why can't you see, that you stole from me You stole from me Why can't you see, that you stole from You've been playing the scales, and you're found guilty I've been paying your bail, and I found that you owe me You've been placed on the scales, and you're found guilty

I want to swing on a rope over water I hold so tightly I won't fall in Uneasy, my dear soul, as I climb I won't falter I'm contemplating diving in Won't you meet me at the sky and sea We'll end the dark of day A thief will come to me in the night And wash me clean I climbed so high on that rope over water I grew so scared of jumping in Begin again, that's what He said Won't you meet me at the sky and sea We'll end the dark of day A thief at eve will come to me, do you hear the words I say? I don't know when the horns will blow But meet me in the sea of light And wash me clean Won't you dip me into cool, clean water Empty canvas with velvet sky Paint me there with colors we've never seen before Won't you meet me at the sky and sea I'll end the dark of day If you believe me in the sky and sea I'll end the dark of ay Meet me in the sea of light Won't you wash me clean? Won't you wash me clean? Won't you wash me clean (In the sea of light)? Won't you wash me clean? Won't you wash me clean?
