• stare at the sun (acoustic) - thrice

  I sit here clutching useless lists
  And keys for doors that don't exist
  I crack my teeth on pearls
  I tear into the history
  Show me what it means to me in this world
  Yeah in this world
  
  'Cause I am due for a miracle
  I'm waiting for a sign
  I'll stare straight into the sun
  And I won't close my eyes
  Till I understand or go blind
  
  I see the parts but not the whole
  I study saints and scholars both
  No perfect plan unfurls
  Do I trust my heart or just my mind
  Why is truth so hard to find in this world
  Yeah in this world
  
  'Cause I am due for a miracle
  I'm waiting for a sign
  I'll stare straight into the sun
  And I won't close my eyes
  Till I understand or go blind (till I understand or go blind)
  
  I know that there's a point I've missed
  A shrine or stone I haven't kissed
  A scar that never graced my wrist
  A mirror that hasn't met my fist
  But I can't help feeling like
  
  I'm Due for a miracle
  I'm waiting for a sign (waiting for a sign)
  I'll stare straight into the sun
  And I won't close my eyes (and I won't close my eyes)
  
  Due for a miracle
  I'm waiting for a sign
  I'll stare straight into the sun
  And I won't close my eyes

• deadbolt - thrice

  When deadbolts awake you from deja vu dreams,
  At four in the morning you know where I'll be
  Out running red lights asleep at the wheel
  The sirens feed my nightmares
  
  I just close my eyes and I'm already there
  Its already too late
  I know its nothing but lies
  But they sound so sincere
  I find them too hard to hate
  
  And she calls from the doorway "stolen water is sweet,
  So lets drink it in the darkness if you know what I mean"
  And she calls from the doorway "stolen water is sweet,
  So lets drink it in the darkness if you know what I mean"
  
  And I'm almost sure
  That I've been here before,
  That this is not the first time I've stood in front of this door
  With an overwhelming feeling that I shouldn't go in
  But it seems this is a battle that I never could win
  
  And you
  My true love
  You call from the hilltop
  You call through the streets
  "Darling don't you know,
  The water is poison"
  And I say
  "Come on and give me my poison"
  
  What have I done?
  Is it too late to save me from this place?
  From the depths of the grave
  We all are those...
  Who thought we were brave
  What have I done?

• red sky - thrice

  I know what lies beneath, I've seen the flash of teeth
  conspiring with the reef to sink our ship
  the wind's a cheating wife, her tongue a thirsty knife
  and she could take your life with one good kiss
  
  Can you see the sky turn red
  as morning's light breaks over me
  Know tonight we'll make our bed
  at the bottom of the sea
  
  I know the ocean speaks, I've heard her call to me
  and smiling in my dreams she whispers this
  (the stars retreat behind their veil
  the clouds are clinging to your sail
  the storm is coming can you see)
  
  Look and see the sky turn red
  Like blood it covers over me
  and soon the sea shall give up her dead
  We'll raise an empire from the bottom of the sea
