Did I Lose You
03:58
|
|||
been so many days all alone
tried to live His way don't you know
to our dying day just follow
smile on your face so hollow
you lost me again or did I lose you
it's just the same old scam
and the same crooked plan
just watch out for yourself in this town
tell me we should fight but I know
you say whatever makes the money flow
the smile on your face is so hollow
keep us in our place don't struggle
you lost me again or did I lose you
it's just the same old scam
and the same crooked plan
just watch out for yourself in this town
keep your simple brittle views
you think it's all figured out

The Well-Groomed Man
04:26
|
|

you're just a walking disaster
you've fallen right off again
and I keep on hearing your last words
when I think of you:
everyone forgives the well-groomed man
the shadow that you've been casting
slowly fills up the room
and across every interaction
we distance you
please forgive the show
it's not the person we know
and I've got the feeling we're closer to the end
and I've got the feeling we're closer to the end
and I've got the feeling
why am I letting you slide right by
my hesitation is doing you harm
fall apart right before my eyes
am I on your side
'cause everyone forgives the well-groomed man
so many new friends but nobody listens
trying to hide what is already missing
the words all have strings
you're sure there's something above everything
you're a slave to a new king
defending your new friends but I won't listen
can't help but describe everything that I've been missing
the birds are on strings shattering things
above everything you're a slave to a new king
but I've got the feeling we're closer to the end
but I've got the feeling we're closer to the end
but I’ve got the feeling

Lost in the Stars
02:37
|
|||
through the fears and neurotic years
searching for something more
a voice in your head grew louder and said
you'd find it
but it's been lost in the stars, the signs on the cards
shifting gears, you stop when you hear
whispers in the wind
and just beyond the lines that you've drawn are the answers
it's been lost in the stars, the signs on the cards
every day is numbered something
the hand is reaching down to you now
every day is numbered something
and it's counting down to you now
every day you wanted something
and it's coming down for you now
but it's just rain

Better With Nothing
05:15
|
|||
I've been waiting here so long by the door
where our hearts are hanging
where the blood is spilling on to the floor
where our skin is so thin
and I won't let you change my mind
now I'm gonna see this through
why am I still waiting
what holds me here
why am I still waiting
I'd be better with nothing
we keep tripping on ourselves in the dark
it's all the question marks
it's the doubt that nags us at every start
always close but far apart
and I won't let you change my mind
now I'm gonna see this through
if I told you the walls are crushing
I'm better with nothing
how can I make this alright
the walls are crushing
I'm better with nothing
why am I still waiting
what holds me here
why am I still waiting
what holds me here
why am I still waiting
here
if I told you the walls are crushing
I'm better with nothing
how can I make this alright
the walls are crushing
I'm better with nothing
I'm better with nothing

My Train
03:07
|
|
||
will the train pass me by
as I wander in the night
behind the silver moon of our memories
and its time to just admit it, I can’t stay here no more
cause there's nothing holding me down here now
we've faded into the clouds
if the train passes me by
at least I’ll know that I tried
every time that I hear it through the mountains
I’m not so crazy
that’s my train coming
that’s my calling
and I know where I’m going
I’m gonna shed this old skin
my heart is opening to a new, a new beginning

Crash Landing
04:29
|
|||
I walk the empty streets
only half living
what's taking over me
I don't know what is happening
the mirror is broken
you were the only thing
guiding me through these clouds
steady in the roughest of oceans
above all the commotion
a lonely lark
circling you
the sky is dark
the sun is still waiting for you
and I know something's there
but phantoms keep playing
in the empty air
it's a breakdown morning
and I'm giving you the fairest of warnings
my head is storming
I think I see the ground
coming back around
crash landing
I think I see the ground
coming back around
crash landing
it's a breakdown morning
and I'm giving you the fairest of warnings
my head is storming
I think I see the ground
coming back around
crash landing
I think I see the ground
coming back around
crash landing

Hesitation
04:01
|
|||
you need to see someone
straighten out your curved thinking
the sun seems to focus you
and little rays are getting me twisted
too much hesitation when the ground is shaking
too much hesitation and our love is breaking
hearing promises from parrots in the tree
but I still never believe them
'cause I see delusion flying by in circles
too much hesitation when the ground is shaking
too much hesitation and our love is breaking
too much hesitation when the ground is shaking
too much hesitation and our love is breaking
no don't do this again
I can't help falling in
no I can’t
I can't help falling in
I see the cracks in you creeping up from your past
and I cant help falling in
I see the tracks to you bending and I can't stop this train from spilling
let's just slow down

Next Obsession
04:45
|
|||
I'm afraid I've got nothing more to give
and you say you want more than this
and you're so used to getting away with it
you've got control of my soul I'm giving in
a jealous moon orbits around you
and beneath your skin you're lonely too
I want to be your next obsession
'cause I never learn a lesson
and you make a big impression
I can see right through you
but I fall right back to you
and your distance makes me crazy
you've taken all of my soul what can I do
I'm a fool
I want to be your next obsession
'cause I never learn a lesson
and you make a big impression
I want to be your next obsession
'cause I never learn a lesson
and you make a big impression
I want to be your next obsession
'cause I never learn a lesson
and you make a big impression
I want to be your next obsession
'cause I never learn a lesson
and you make a big impression
I can't let go
don't let me go
don’t let me go
don’t let me go
don’t let me go

Go Ra Shira
03:56
|
|||
leave it behind
don’t even try to understand
virgo sun in sadness becomes a new compulsion
twisting the key in a hole within me
echo the words of your songs
go ra shira ra see
go ra shira ra shira
go ra shira ra see
go ra shira ra shira
go ra shira ra see
go ra shira ra shira

Elephant Song
04:18
|
|||
do you like your new home
do you like your new home
is the microphone on
sing the elephant song
I like you
are we gonna go home
are we gonna go home
I've been running so long
I need a friend to just pretend
I like you
axis two

Slipping
04:24
|
|||
watch every action
control my reaction
I've got no reason to give you reasons
I feel you closing in
you hide inside my head
I'm slipping
do you know where we're going
cause I feel you closing in
closing in
your arms around my neck
I'm slipping
your arms around my neck
I'm slipping
your arms around my neck
I'm slipping

River
06:16
|
|||
all I've got
moonlit thoughts
and I don't think they'll ever stop
been drifting away, two months to this day
soaking it in
and on this river
conscience sliver
I watch as the surface quivers
dark forms searching for more
but the eyes can't tell there's no self to sell
dark forms searching for more
but the eyes can't tell there's no self to sell
your words beating down into me
I'll never be free
