Walked on the Moon

The stars are real oh the stars are my home It's not just some idea I made up On my own I navigate by the stars in the sky The stars will be home until I die Til I Die Til I die Noone left who walked on the moon Noone left who walked on the moon Darkness falling at the break of noon And if you think you're something that You're not Mistake a painting For mirror Waves wash away your scribbles now In the sand Raise a glass and watch it all disappear Noone left who walked on the moon Noone left who walked on the moon Darkness falling at the break of noon Footprints stranded on the dust of the moon Footprints stranded on the dust of the moon Footprints stranded on the dust of the moon Footprints stranded on the dust of the moon

Weighed Down

All your nightmares Are getting easier to forget But your dreams linger In a haunted silhouette Weighed down Weighed down Weighed down By a ghost A porcupine crawls Across your liferaft And I misread you When you fake a heart attack Weighed down Weighed down Weighed down By a ghost Disappear In the back Of your brown eyes

Turn all the lights out and leave me Dreaming of your arms Hang your chandeliers over my head When it starts to storm I can't live without your private sigh And I'm drowning in your shadow When I'm swimming in Your love As the moon through your window Does a cannonball from a diving board Above Close your eyes and you dream Of her hair in a fiery rain So you learn that desire Paves the road to pain Like a fly Caught in a silver spider web And I'm drowning in your shadow When I'm swimming in your love As the moon through your window Does a cannonball from a diving board Above I can't live without Your private sigh Like a fly Caught in a silver spider web And I'm drowning in your shadow When I'm swimming in your love You blanket your red eyes with The knuckle of your green glove

Ghost Affair
02:25
|
|||
|
I met you under the willow tree Studying your own headstone Startled to see me We died the same age Thirty years apart Still young enough to Burn fire in our hearts ' Walked round the cemetery every night Talking about our past lives Til the morning light Your husband stopped coming round one day Then we fell in love in our Ghostly way Try to run my hands through your hair But I just caress the air We don't age we don't change our shape And this awful cemetery we can never escape Don't wanna pretend to touch you anymore Hell is sealed shut and heaven closed its door

I Drown
03:18
|

|
You're a Juliette but I'm No Romeo Throw up my hands and You aim a cross bow The streets are decayed empty Desolate dead I only wanna count the cracks In the ceiling above your bed Tonight I just wanna swim out deep Into the Ocean of your eyes Til I can't see the land And the tidal waves rise And I drown Lay my head down upon your chest Quiet sussurations of your heart at rest They cry in a whisper that I can only hear Saying come one now why Not try something real Tonight I just wanna swim out deep Into the Ocean of your eyes Til I can't see the land And the tidal waves rise And I drown Tonight I just wanna swim out deep Into the Ocean of your eyes Til I can't see the land And the tidal waves rise And I drown

She Sparkles
02:50
|

|
Time, when we're young all we've got is time Now it's the one thing we never find And we spend every dime Wanting more time She reminds me that I'm alive On an 18 hour drive She pulles out a mix tape From 1999 Yeah yeah She sparkles She sparkles Oh she sparkles The world around her shines We drowned out our loneliness With cacophonous miserable bliss A neon bouquet Curling round the lines of our face You so beautiful I could cry For you I would surely die But I always choke when you ask You ask you love me why? She sparkles She sparkles oh she sparkles The world around her shines I love everything about you I'm still learning how to Change

Jenny With The Stars
03:20
|

|
The familiar four in the morning alone When your ghosts lean in and moan So alone I'd throw my arms around my bitter enemy Throw my arms round things only I can see You left without saying goodbye Jenny with the stars bleeding in your eyes We all can bleed any time we want to It's a choice to see the day through The smell of your skin folded in my pillow Your voice echoes in the leaves falling below You left without saying goodbye Jenny with the stars bleeding in your eyes "I love you Let's run away I love you Let's run away" You left without saying goodbye Jenny with the stars bleeding in your eyes You left without saying goodbye Jenny with the stars bleeding in your eyes

Juliette

Juliette never flinches Juliette could stare down the sun Her heart weeps into the gutter Where cigarettes are put out in her tears Every day, it's like you're further away From where you were yesterday She runs through the dark of the morning I dream of an open window thunderstorm Her dignity in silence Against cruelty, and violent storm Every day it's like you're further away From where you were yesterday Devils sneak in through a crack in the door Try to put them back, you let in more Juliette doesn't know me She's a ghost in the attic fumbling for a taste of eternity Her shadow always haunts me Pure darkness enclosed by a light I live to see Every day it's like you're further away From where you were yesterday Devils sneak in through a crack in the door Try to put them back, you let in more

Lean Against Me
02:41
|

|
When the rain blows wild and hard Knocks you off your guard I'll be a shelter from the storm When the waves crash on your ship And all your senses slip Like Christ I'll make the waters calm You can lean against me When the world tries to knock you down When your demons start to moan You feel helpless an alone I'll stare those demons down When your friends all disappear And you dread the bathroom mirror Look into my eyes You can lean against me When the world tries to knock you down When you feel cheated you feel used Suffer all the world's abuse Know I could never do you harm When dust coats your wedding gown And life has let you down Let's make tomorrow new You can lean against me When the world tries to knock you down

Branches

Beyond where we can feel any pain You welcome the rain To wash the blood off the streets Skeletons shiver in the west wind When it blows through their bones When it blows through their bones Sifting through the leaves Falling from your branches Sifting through the leaves Falling from your branches I'm a kite tangled in your upper reach I'm the fragment of a shell Buried on your beach Sifting through the leaves Falling from your branches Sifting through the leaves Falling from your branches Now all we feel is sorrow Now all we feel is sorrow Sifting through the leaves Falling from your branches Sifting through the leaves Falling from your branches

I fall into your arms And all my fears disappear I get used to the smell of your hair And forget the taste of my tears Every breath is yours Every move is yours All of my blood is yours I don't need myself anymore I look up at the stars the same my ancestors did And wonder the things they know now The clouds keep hid (from us) Every breath is yours Every move is yours All of my blood is yours I don't need myself anymore Every breath is yours Every move is yours All of my blood is yours I don't need myself anymore

Floor of My Heart
02:11
|
|||
|
Celestial stains yellow on your cheek Your kisses cracks in eternity Through which I desperately peek On the floor of my heart Underneath the dust Are your permanent footprints And your name written in rust I try and drape a new skin Over my corroded bones Run a comb through the stars Decipher their coded moans On the floor of my heart Underneath the dust Are your permanent footprints And your name written in rust On the floor of my heart Underneath the dust Are your permanent footprints And your name written in rust

Somber clouds hang from Your eyes The morning breathelss cries Through the window Gnashing its teeth And barely let's the sun fall across Your skin I'm in love with you now I've been in love with you since I was born I'll never be Ready to say goodbye to you The waves crash in your mouth The moon reflects on your cheek Everything I want is buried And lost in the shadows behind your eyes Don't let me grow old Without you And if I leave this world before you NAme a star after me I'll never be Ready to say goodbye to you

An album that gets better with every listen. It was already in my top 10 of the year, but it just keeps pushing higher. Lydia Loveless is so damn underrated.
