Don’t be scared now Lay your head down Leave the wolves Wearing suits Far behind you I’ll make Alaska out of my own two hands I’ll take disaster, turn it into a nice tan I’ll put the colors I’ll put the colors in the land Calm your heart dear Let your mind clear Leave the bears In taxi cabs Far behind you I’ll make Alaska out of my own two hands I’ll take disaster, turn it into a nice tan I’ll put the colors I’ll put the colors in the land Now wont you Sleep Now my child

The Queen’s got a backpack Loaded with Red Bulls She clinks around in silver scales Her armor never rips Her armor never fails No, no No, no, no No, no, no I don’t want to go outside And I don’t want to even try To pretend That I like crowded rooms (oooo) Her fingertips have lightening Stemming from her spine She floats around on thunder clouds Her power never slips Her power never drowns No, no No, no, no No, no, no I don’t want to go outside And I don’t want to even try To pretend That I like crowded rooms (oooo) The queen keeps me sheltered Under her black wings We fly above the cobbled streets Her beauty never dies Her beauty never leaves No, no No, no, no No, no, no I don’t want to go outside And I don’t want to even try To pretend That I like crowded rooms (oooo) She takes me on great adventures and I don’t want to try To remember That I liked being alone.

Up with the wolves Forget about ZZZs Life’s on the ground But I’m up in the trees I feel your words But can’t see you breath I feel your words But can’t see your teeth I’m skywalking on telephone wires High above streets and spires I don’t care if I step against my will I can’t get enough of your pills (x2) Fog in the halls Everyone’s blind Trapped behind glass With steel plated minds I feel your words But cant see your lips I feel your words Vibrate at my hips I’m skywalking on telephone wires High above streets and spires I don’t care if I step against my will I can’t get enough of your pills (x2) Promised myself That I’d never walk On Radio ropes And forget how to talk The Balancing act Was worth it for you Waving my arms As I step off the roof I’m skywalking on telephone wires High above streets and spires I don’t care if I step against my will I can’t get enough of your pills (x2) I don’t care much for texting at all But I sure care For you

Rocking Chair When our skulls are a dull mush of mash potatoes Our legs are pegs of tan toothpicks I’ll keep you warm when you’re sick I’ll keep you warm when you’re sick Back and fourth we go (Till the) moon makes my head low back and fourth we go till together is being alone being alone When we sleep more than sloths sunbathing in sand Our snores rattle doors and shake our little shack If you leave, you can always come back If you leave, you can always come back Back and fourth we go (Till the) moon makes my head low back and fourth we go till together is being alone being alone When our vertebrae hurt everyday When putting in dentures is an adventure You’ll bring out the song in me You’ll bring out the song in me You’ll bring out the song in me Back and fourth we go (Till the) moon makes my head low back and fourth we go till together is being alone being alone I’ll love you, when your covered in grey hair I’ll love you, oh I’ll love you I’ll love you in the rocking chair Lets count to three And cut our I.V.s We can float off with the afternoon breeze I’ll take this love to my grave I’ll take this love to my grave

Your mahogany eyes And your ocean curls You get me so high Higher than all the world Higher than all the world You are truly perfect You’re completely insane I wouldn’t like you any other way Oh it’s just, oh it’s just Another day There’s coffee in your blood And sugar in your words You got so much love More love than I deserve More love than I Deserve You are truly perfect You’re completely insane I wouldn’t like you any other way Oh it’s just, oh it’s just Another day I wish that you could see yourself the way I do every single thing I say is true You are truly perfect You’re completely insane I wouldn’t like you any other way Oh it’s just, oh it’s just Oh shit it’s your birthday

about

What does Alaska mean?
Well, I have never been there, but, in my imagination, it represents a place of peace and tranquility. My girlfriend and I have always wanted to travel there. Sometimes prep school seemed too much like a prison to our adventurous spirits. I dedicate this album to Mackenzie.
