1.	Ritual 02:24	lyrics	buy track
We come from a family of soldiers We are the poets who drive on empty The moon outside our reach has atrophied We come from a family of scavengers We are the birds competing for the bones The moon hangs low tonight, so alone I’ve spent so many nights on the cliffs in your eyes I’ve slept so many times on the cliffs It’s ritual
2.	Ghost Town Without You 03:00	lyrics	buy track
Standing into the night  I’m gonna reach inside  To find you, to find  My life is a ghost town without you  There’s something in the walls  A beating in the floor  Your heart is all I wish to hold  It’s a distance I can’t close  A beating in the floor  My life is a ghost town without you  My love is a ghost town without you  Stranded with the gold at the core of the flame
3.	The Real Thing 05:22	lyrics	buy track
You're the real thing, baby And you make me wanna get high I don’t have much But I’d fight to the death for your touch I spent my last cent today I hope you don’t mind I stole this rose from a grave Tonight will you possess me? Will you make me feel invincible? Let’s get fucked up and lose our minds ‘Cause all we’ve got is time You’re the real thing, baby And you make me wanna get high I don’t have everything All I have are my dreams But I’ll let you climb with me Possess me Oh, you make me feel unlike myself Let’s leave this town behind Driving with the windows down We’ll make it where we make it We'll make it when we make it
4.	Girls On The Subway 04:05	lyrics	buy track
I’ll be your victim Another stranger in love I don’t care where we’re going But can I ride with you? I really don’t mind standing as the city moves Outside of time Through invaded hearts With teenage names carved In the subway cars Girls on the subway I’ll be your victim It's in your bloodline The cheekbones of a skyline  Your pin-up pose As you stand alone Makes me want to sell my gold Will you take me underground? I’ll be your evidence
5.	Coyotes 02:24	lyrics	buy track
Coyotes in the boneyards of my dreams
6.	Remains 05:42	lyrics	buy track
In the crush of midnight space We dissolve into the shadows It’s our escape I keep my hands pressed against the light of you As you rise into the bone of the moon It’s a heaven sickness It’s a true madness When my remains remain this way Will you wait 'til dark for me? In the rush of anxious blood We’ve made a trophy out of the sun When the world doesn’t want you I’ll pull the planets down to you May my remains remain this way
