Sara Brennan This whole album is really good, but Above the Earth is one of those songs that I want to condense and inject into my veins. Favorite track: Above the Earth.

Dwellers 04:52
Irrational fears cloud your mind and all hope is left behind for the dwellers to feed on so see the world through my eyes and you'll finally recognize the fires that lay burden on my soul breathe the air deeper now you're finally finding out the choirs sing brighter songs outside and bring the noises in your head to a screeching stop instead of sirens following you home so come out in the open find comfort in the way you're not simple and softly spoken when you're alive and you're on top of the world breathe the air deeper now you're finally finding out what it's like to not feel insecure bring the noises in your head to a screeching stop instead hear my voice and follow every word so come out in the open find comfort in the way you're not simple and softly spoken when you're alive and you're on top of the world well this house is burning and i know you're learning to accept that it is gone along with it's bridges to unhappy places that you go when you're alone so dance in the embers and unwrite the letters to this melancholy rhyme irate with the thought of that you were once caught up in the irrational for some time so come out in the open find comfort in the way you're not simple and softly spoken when you're alive and you're on top of the world

There’s a glass bottom boat passing by over my head people stare but they don’t care what they don’t care what happens, what happens and there’s a school swimming by silver tails caught my eye so I stare but I don’t care what I don’t care what happens, what happens and “oh my god” I scream out to the water save my soul take me now as I go up for air all the silver tails scatter and scare there’s a shark in our midst  comin’ by to steal her a kiss “oh, my god” I scream out to the water save my soul take me now and bring me home where I came from nothing let all my hopes slowly drown here

Child's Play 03:23
Well I hardly care what they think of me now been gone for a while I’m lost in the sound don’t bring me back I’m happy this way asking my heart if I’ll come out to play I see life through the eyes of a child and I let my mind run wild ‘cause sometimes it’s as simple as it seems and I abandon everything in pursuit of a dream well what a relief to finally say it out loud no longer ashamed that I’m riddled with doubt they say you only live once and that’s what I believe so I’ll wear out this guitar with the heart on my sleeve I see life through the eyes of a child and I let my mind run wild ‘cause sometimes it’s as simple as it seems and I abandon everything in pursuit of a dream If only my name lives on when I’m gone a life went to waste only then can you tell me I’m wrong

are we growing up or just growing apart from each other in this familiar dark place i hardly know you anymore and it seems we’ve lost the things I most adored about you I wanna feel the earth shake again feel a pulse beat through my skin but I, I swear that I can’t find that here with you I wanna see the waves crashing in to the shoreline as I spin around to rhythmic sounds with someone far less miserable than you are we giving up or just giving in to tragic memories of our sins the story always reads the same and I’m so tired of playing games with you I wanna feel the earth shake again feel a pulse beat through my skin but I, I swear that I can’t find that here with you I wanna see the waves crashing in to the shoreline as I spin around to rhythmic sounds with someone far less miserable than you it’s love and loss, these things happen say all you want, I’ll speak with actions ‘cause I am gone before you can catch your breath and nothing you have said can change it
5.
you were there you're still around thought I'd lost what I had found looking back I never should have strayed but come again, come alive never fill my apetite lying in this bed that I have made but you know... that maybe you're not ready for this yet and lately I've got a stomach full of regret but faintly I recall something you said you said "baby, I'd follow you 'til the end" you'd shut me out change the locks if you only knew the kinds of thoughts running through my mind when you leave she'll say a prayer for my soul mother, she can make me whole 'fore I leave my wounds at your feet but you know... that maybe you're not ready for this yet and lately I've got a stomach full of regret but faintly I recall something you said you said "baby I'd follow you 'til the end"

Vain 03:47
I'd fall off the end of the earth for your love clutching my pride in my hands understand this I'm falling, falling, falling faster than gravity hoping, wishing, praying you will come after me come now I'm bound to leave this place somehow love found one of our veins as time burns I've learned I'll get by okay as long as I don't rely on you for anything I'll call off the search it is all over now it's useless, you're just nowhere to be found I'm racing, pacing, wasting precious reality wanting, wishing, waiting for you to value me

you're pulling teeth from a vampire we both know the fangs aren't coming out to be quite honest I'm getting tired of all the people sleeping safe and sound well i'm out here above the earth looking for blood to end my thirst I can't be saved 'cause I'm already dead should've sold my soul instead at least then I'd have something to show for the life that I let go for my own selfish reasons you're pulling teeth from a vampire but don't think you've got me figured out well go ahead, set my lungs on fire see if I will make a sound well i'm out here above the earth looking for blood to end my thirst I can't be saved 'cause I'm already dead should've sold my soul instead at least then I'd have something to show for the life that I let go for my own selfish reasons pulling teeth from vampires now you don't have me figured out you don't have me figured out god damn I'm lost in the sound

Better Half 05:25
I try to speak but the words won’t come and it’s frightening as a loaded gun and it’s mine to keep but it’s mine to run from and silently some day it will catch up and finally it takes the better half of me from the ones that I love and it’s sad you see just how i’ve given up happily I betrayed all your trust tactfully so be mad if you must just remember me as I once was well half a drink it turns into one unraveling of all that I’ve done and I start to think it’s about time that I give up this tragedy of a life that don’t live up and finally it takes the better half of me from the ones that I love and it’s sad you see just how I’ve given up happily I betrayed all your trust tactfully so be mad if you must just remember me as I once was
9.
Haste 03:17
so make haste slowly and see it to the end the one and only promise you pretend to keep a loss that you won’t weep still you send your grief  while you grin straight through you teeth and this i know and this i know so bring my only love back to my arms but you can’t hold me back from doing harm to me can hardly stand to eat ripping apart at the seems so you can watch me bleed and so this goes and so this goes well this is hopeless no I can’t change my stars and lets be honest these temporary scars will be  forever there for me to see and the part of me torn off between your sheets and how are you so cold? how are you so cold? How are you so...
