Late Night Alumni Haunted Lyrics
1.It's Not Happening

Subject ain't the girls,
Shaping us in this world,
Right across is never soon enough.
But for me it's not happening!
Listen to me! It's not happening!

Subject ain't the girls,
Why to rule the world,
Needles, bites and eyes,
one size

It's time for a compromise.
So leave it undefined!
Tell me to wait in line,
And speak
It's not happening!
Say you agree!
It's not happening!
Listen our plea!


2.In The Ashes

You've come along,
you're underneath the song,
First on the plane, now on the beach.

Thought I was alone,
I left without my phone,
Somehow you've stowed away with me.

When the earth shakes,
swallowed by the waves,
you'll be swimming next to me.
When the plane crashes,
you'll be in the ashes
and I'll breathe you into me.

The weather's fine;
what I had in mind,
until I feel you like a breeze.
You kept afloat when I escaped by boat.
Thoughts of you come swimmin' across the sea.

When the earth shakes,
swallowed by the waves,
you'll be swimming next to me.
When the plane crashes,
you'll be in the ashes
and I'll breathe you into me.

When the
When the
When the
When the
When the

When the earth shakes,
swallowed by the waves,
you'll be swimming next to me.
When the plane crashes,
you'll be in the ashes
and I'll breathe you into me.

When the earth shakes(earth shakes)
Swallowed by the waves(swallowed by the waves)
you'll be swimming next to me(you'll be swimming next to me)
When the plane crashes(plane crashes)
you'll be in the ashes
and I'll breathe you into me(breathe you into me)


3.This Is Why

Ever since I remember,
I've held it in,
held it all.

Somehow I felt comfortable,
behind my wall,
behind it all.

This is why I don't cry,
this is why I don't cry.
Tears, they only compromise,
there's no need to visualize.

This is why I don't cry,
this is why I don't cry.
Tears, they only minimize,
everything I keep inside.

I bet that you think I'm lonely.
You may be right.
I just might.

And if you want me to break down,
it'd be a sight,
but not tonight.

This is why I don't cry,
this is why I don't cry.
Tears, they only compromise,
there's no need to visualize.

This is why I don't cry,
this is why I don't cry.
Tears, they only minimize,
everything I keep inside.


4.Epilogue

If I believed
If I believed what I've been told
Every day
To say no grace every night I couldn't stay
Here alone

If I leave this place
Everything fades

What will my ghost embrace
Will my soul still fill a space

I walk the halls
Endless stairs
Here's where the floor starts to fade
With weakened knees I sway two ways and fall to the floor
Where I've prayed

It's not the same
I don't fall one way

One day my light laid wait
One night a nightfall sang
A fictional last few days
An epilogue ends and hangs


5.Vixen

There is a little part of me
That wants the best for you
Can't help but wish the best was me

Coquette I bet you'd say I am
A vixen ripe for play
You sound so sincere when you say

I'm an open book
Despite my puzzled look
And coax me to confess
To all I never meant

This is the absolute last time
You'll fall in love with me
I nod my head like I agree

If I'm a siren in the night
You aim in vain to fight
I''ll fasten up my eyes
And feign a mild surprise

If I'm a siren in the night
You aim in vain to fight
I'll fasten up my eyes

And feign a mild surprise

You're free
But if you need me
I'll be here always

You say jump, I say how high
You say leave, I say goodbye

You say jump, I say how high
You say leave, I say goodbye

You say jump, I say how high
You say leave, I say goodbye

You're free
But if you need me
I'll be here always

I'm free
Here always


6.Angels And Angles

On with the heart of the matter.
The conversation blushed,
with a swift redirection:
But how are you?
What have you done?

I've found,
what abounds at my own leisure,
is still no resolution made,
I come to stay only for moments.
But how were you when I was gone?

Once carved in two halves,
both sway a bit upside.
Angels and angles;
I am the new divide.
Retrace, about face,
retreat when undermined.
Capsize and sink till you think and swim, aligned.

The change still unchanged,
I pivot with new pace
with all but truth so help him.
God, spoken out loud;
a wish left unmade now.
But where was I when I was gone?

Once carved in two halves,
both sway a bit upside.
Angels and angles;
I am the new divide.
Retrace, about face,
retreat when undermined.
Capsize and sink till you think and swim, aligned.


7.Sustaining

Imagine me
in L.O.V.E.
Probability
In favor of things.
It must be intrigue
to some lesser degree.
Never again,
I promised myself a thousand times.

You're an unfamiliar place.
I know it sounds insane.
I'm safer tucked away here.
Though you're still too far away,
the sound of you sustains
loud enough to wake me.

Soon you will see
the mess M.A.D.E.
Sensibility
is not fight over flee.
It's just not my thing.
With foresight I foresee.
And now by no means,
I vowed to myself time after time.

You're an unfamiliar place.
I know it sounds insane.
I'm safer tucked away here.
Though you're still too far away,
the sound of you sustains
loud enough to wake me.

L.O.V.E H.A.S. been M.A.D.E.
I can see the difference but I can't guarantee
O.N.L.Y I.N.T.R.I.G.U.E
I may find you sustaining longer than you should be.
It's sad but true. I promise that I can guarantee
an L.O.V.E M.E.S.S M.A.D.E
I can see the difference and it's only intrigue.
L.O.V.E. S.U.S.T.A.I.N.E.D

You're an unfamiliar place.
I know it sounds insane.
I'm safer tucked away here.
Though you're still too far away,
the sound of you sustains
loud enough to wake me.


8.Main Street

Self-assured with a cold heart.
I was sure the words had failed us.
So roundabout,
I take the curtains down,
sweep beneath chairs,
the un-answered prayers.
Now I'm haunted by a longing
so early in the morning.
It greets me without warning.

Coincidence.
I see you today,
we small talk but time gets in the way,
so I clip the clock's wings,
we talk about smart things.
Find myself smiling
for the first time in days.

Now I'm haunted by a longing,
this afternoon on main street.

You're smiling and oh, how apropos.
I once had an ending
but now I have the go.
I laugh when you say 'flowers say what they mean',
cause roundabout, you say the funniest things.

Now I'm haunted by a longing so late in the evening.
It greets me with a warning.


9.For Life

Wild nights, were I with thee,
wild nights should be our luxury.
Futile the winds to a heart in port.
Done with the compass.
Done with the chart.
I sang to use the waiting,
I didn't have to try.
I'll shut the door to my house;
No more to seek have I.
Such a little thing to weep,
so short a thing to sigh;
and yet by trades the size of these we men and women die

You say goodnight
like starting tonight
You plan to say it
the rest of my life.

Wild nights, were I with thee,
wild nights should be our luxury.
Futile the winds to a heart in port.
Done with the compass.
Done with the chart.
Such a little thing to weep,
so short a thing to sigh;
and yet by trades the size of these we men and women die

You walk outside
And for a short time
it seems just like
for keeps and for life.
Do I dare write
the words or recite
on of the off chance
that this might be right?


10.No Or Yes

The moment I sigh and decide,
Sure, I'll grow used to these lonely nights,
The wind, it blows and I change my mind;
Feel a familiar shiver down my spine.

Now it's noon; the clock tower chimes.
How long have I been wasting all my time?

A typical damsel in distress
And all my life up to this request.
Why can't I just say no or yes
when I clearly know which one is best?

I look in the window, but it's full of lies.
Tell myself, walk on by, but my heart replies,
'You'll run yourself to your own demise
if you keep building your bridges on land mines.'

Now it's two; the clock tower chimes.
Look at me still wasting all my time.

A typical damsel in distress
And all my life up to this request.
Why can't I just say no or yes
When I clearly know which one is best?

Why can't I just
Why can't I just
Why can't I just
Why can't I just
Why can't I just
Why can't I just
Why can't I just say no or yes?
Why can't I just say no or yes?
Why can't I just say no or yes?
Say no or yes
Say no or yes


11.Spin

Who are you fooling
It's not Russian Roulette
I'm not gonna sit this one out

It's suicide you decide, be it left be it right maybe wrong
While you let it out of your sight
First it's left then it's right till it's gone
If you're a point on a line, the rolling figure is mine
And I'm still gonna roll round and round

How about a small wager
I know you need another player
I want you to know how it feels
I'm all for spinning that wheel

But who are you fooling
It's not Russian Roulette
Save the last one for me

It's suicide you decide, be it left be it right maybe wrong
While you let it outta your sight
First it's left then it's right till it's gone
The clock may never unwind, the day and night combined
I'm not gonna fall asleep this time

I've been brave
Tell me again to behave
You alter the laws of chance
With a touch of your hand

How about a small wager
I know you need another player
I want you to know how it feels
I'm all for spinning that wheel

But who are you fooling
It's not Russian Roulette
I'm not gonna sit this one out


12.Moonwalking

Cold feet
But not like the cold that I used to know
The back beat
Sounds as if I'm hearing it over the phone
One day the moon just changed
I didn't know until I watched the stars alone
I'd have never known

And I forgot, not to watch for the sun to rise
And there was the moon
Posed alongside in the same sky

Moonwalking
The stars have eyes
Open even when the sun is high
Moon bathing
In space not time
I might need you when I'm out of light

It's light outside
He's only needed when the sun is gone
A cosmic white
Let him leave, let him right his wrongs

Moonwalking
The stars have eyes
Open even when the sun is high
Moon bathing
In space not time
I might need you when I'm out of light

Closer now, white, forthright
You're no fire, but you're warm and bright
Aurora night, a moon-like light
Till the shine drowns the eventide
