High/Low (1996)

  1. Deeper Well

    Lyrics: Deeper Well

    If I fell
    Down a big hole
    Would you tell
    How do you know
    It's a deepening well
    Like the big o
    
    I know, I know
    It's a bad scene to be whole
    It's a bad dream I hope
    Marie Marie
    To feel, to feel
    They're following me
    Marie Marie
    Go
    
    If I painted a tear
    Would you figure it out
    Would it make matters clear
    Would it shed some doubt
    It's been happening for years
    It's a roundabout
    
    I know, I know
    It's a bad scene to be whole
    It's a bad dream I hope
    Marie Marie
    To feel, to feel
    They're following me
    Marie Marie
    To feel
    
    Pull back from the front
    There's a bigger gap than you thought
    A bigger trap in which to be caught
    
    I've got to get away from the bricks
    All these straight lines are making me sick
  2. The Plan

    Lyrics: The Plan

    There's a way to drive, i see it once in a while
    I watch the tail-lights and memorize
    I won't be too scared, i won't be too tired
    I'm becoming hard-wired
    Feeling hazy, waking up inertia
    I'm having dreams i'm in the wrong picture
    Am i older than you thought
    Did you get less than you bought
    
    Dan you wanna roast it dan
    We're gonna kick it in the head if we can
    Me i'm just, me i'm just, i never got to read the plan
    Dan you wanna roast it dan
    You know i never know the right way around
    I need a map to get us out of this town
    
    Now your hand is flashing danger
    I'm underdressed and you're getting stranger
    I can't tell you i'm incomplete
    You're gonna step on me
  3. Popular

    Lyrics: Popular

    Three important rules for breaking up
    Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
    Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
    Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
    Don't make a big production
    Don't make up an elaborate story
    This will help you avoid a big tear-jerking scene
    If you want to date other people say so
    Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
    Even if you've gone together for only a short time,
    And haven't been too serious
    There's still a feeling of rejection when someone says
    She preferres the company of others to your exclusive company
    But if you're honest, and direct
    And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you break the news
    The boy will respect you for your frankness
    And honestly he'll apeciate the kind of straightfoward manner in which you told him your decision
    Unless he's a real jerk or a crybaby you will remain friends
    I'm head of the class
    I'm popular
    I'm a quarterback
    I'm popular
    My mom says I'm a catch
    I'm popular
    I'm never last picked
    I got a cheerleading chick
    Being attractive is the most important thing there is
    If you want to catch the biggest fish in your pond
    You have to be as attractive as possible
    Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
    Wash it at least every two weeks
    Once every two weeks
    And if you see Jonny football hero in the hall
    Tell him he played a great game
    Tell him you liked his article in the newspaper
    I'm the party star
    I'm popular
    I got my own car
    I'm popular
    I'll never get caught
    I'm popular
    I make football bets
    I'm a teacher's pet
    I propose we support a one-month limit on going steady
    I think it will keep people more able to deal with weird situations
    And get to know more people
    I think if you're ready to go out with Johnny
    Now's the time to tell him about your one-month limit
    He won't mind, he'll apreciate your fresh look on dating
    And once you've dated someone else you can date him again
    I'm sure he'll like did
    Everyone will appreciate it
    You're so novel, what a good idea
    You can keep you time to yourself
    You don't need date insurance
    You can go out with whoever you want to
    Every boy, every boy, in the whole world could be yours
    If you'll just listen to my plan
    The Teenage Guide To popularity
    I'm head of the class
    I'm popular
    I'm a quarterback
    I'm popular
    My mom says I'm a catch
    I'm popular
    I'm never last picked
    I got a cheerleading chick
    I'm the party star
    I'm popular
    I've got my own car
    I'm popular
    I'll never get caught
    I'm popular
    I'm a teacher's pet
    I make football bets
  4. Sleep

    Lyrics: Sleep

    Step in my shoes, wait till you see the big flash now
    Glued to the sheets, sleep with the sheep all month long
    Easy to please, hard to believe it's a tease
    Stuck in a rut, we don't give a fuck if we're us
    
    Lie in a haze, hope it's a phase and not hate
    You know that i know that you know that i know that you know
    I want you to kiss me(8x)
    
    I try to open my eyes
    To the days going by
    But the trash in everything it keeps me hypnotized
    I'm hypnotized, i'm hypnotized
    I got the poison in me
    But it's amplified, amplified, amplified
    
    Step in my shoes, wait till you see the big flash now
    Lie in a haze, hope it's a phase and not hate
    Easy to please, hard to believe it's a tease
    You know that i know that you know that i know that you know
    I want you to kiss me(8x)
    
    I try to open my eyes
    To the days going by
    But the trash in everything it keeps me hypnotized
    I'm hypnotized, i'm hypnotized
    
    No TV(4x)
  5. Stalemate

    Lyrics: Stalemate

    You say you wanna leave me,
    Say you wanna be free
    From everything you hate.
    Get yourself together,
    We'll always be together.
    Love, you just can not rate.
    
    Been so long since we hooked,
    Been so long since we took
    Time to get things right.
    But I'll be here forever,
    I'll lie to you forever.
    Now, it doesn't look bright.
    Nobody is killing more time than you and I.
    Everybody's willing somehow to say goodbye.
    
    I think we're getting used to,
    Used to be abused to.
    Doubt is all there is.
    We can not spread out wings out,
    Can not do a new thing.
    Drought on what we miss.
    
    When everything is falling,
    It's like we both are crawling
    Around and around again.
    Every fight is too long,
    Every word is too strong
    Bound to end it all, but when?
    
    The stalemate's on and what we had is dead and gone.
    It's like we just don't care. We're going nowhere.
    
    I wanna say goodbye. Yeah, I wanna say goodbye.
    Goodbye to our big life lie, nothing's gonna be alright.
    You know this is our best white lie. Nothing's gonna be alright.
    Doesn't matter how we try, I wanna ask you why we can't let it die?
    Even though we both have tried, you know I always question why.
    Why we just can't let it die?
    
    It's our big life lie.
  6. Treehouse

    Lyrics: Treehouse

    I can see
    The things she does for me
    I'm living in a treehouse
    
    I live in constant fear
    Awakening must be near
    I'm sleeping in a dreamhouse
    Up in a tree
    
    I'm tired of the fork in the road
    It's pointing to Heaven
    But the sky is old
    I'm tired of the fork in the road
    It's pointing at nothing
    'Cause it's all been sold
    
    I live with you
    To die in jamais vu
    I love you
    But this isn't true
    
    I'm tired of the fork in the road
    It's pointing to Heaven
    But the sky is old
    I'm tired of the fork in the road
    It's pointing at nothing
    'Cause it's all been sold
    
    I can see
    The things she does for me
    I'm living in a treehouse
    
    I live in constant fear
    Awakening must be near
    Sleeping in a dreamhouse
    
    Waiting for the end
  7. Icebox

    Lyrics: Icebox

    Stay until
    You're sure that i'm asleep
    Warm safe and very still
    Give all my things away
    Just wait until tomorrow
    Bury me in sorrow
    Cover me in joy
    
    Every afternoon i wasted being mad at You
    The things I never said
    The things I can't say tomorrow
    Bury me in sorrow
    Cover me in joy
    
    After death i'll think of You somehow
    I'll have an eternity to think about tomorrow
    I beg of You tomorrow
    Bury me in sorrow
    Cover me in joy
  8. Psychic Caramel

    Lyrics: Psychic Caramel

    Take a look at what's been done
    The killing wound is the thousandth cut
    A dead turtle on the beach puts my happiness out of reach
    Sea sun sand self
    Sea sun sand
    Psychic caramel dimulants they're good for the undertow
    Better than a psychotic stimulant
    Word to your mother you know
    But it's a drag you know sometimes
    And it drags
    Sea sun sand self
    Sea sun sand
    We will always be the sea
    Years will be i, you will see
    Now i finally understand the Mother's belly is here with me
    Sea sun sand self
    Sea sun sand
    I'm going deaf and peaceful, i'm going for a walk
    The times i have the most to say are the times that i can't talk
    Psychic caramel dimulants
    They're good for the undertow
    Better than a psychotic stimulant
    Word to your mother you know
    But it's a drag you know sometimes
    And it drags
    Sea sun sand self
    Sea sun sand
  9. Hollywood

    Lyrics: Hollywood

    Been trying to be cool ever since high school
    Cool like the stars and sexy people in bars
    The stars will fall they'll line up in the hall
    May sound nice, but it's ugly inside
    I lost all my pride
    Taken apart
    One more false start
    How do you think we're gonna do this time around
    You're the queen of sound
    
    Been trying to hear something complete
    No microtones and no backbeat
    Been trying to be cool ever since high school
    Cool like the stars and sexy people in bars
  10. Zen Brain

    Lyrics: Zen Brain

    I'm going from strange to stranger every year
    I take it back you're panicking
    I just don't know
    I really thought I wanted to go
    But when we're close
    You look through me just like a ghost
    I like sleeping
    I'm only safe when i'm dreaming
    I need a new heart
    This one's hollow
    Always scheming
    
    You wait for summer
    And then you wait for winter
    But there's a total lack of splendor
    
    Zen brain throw away your crushes
    All your childhood crutches
    Super brain never scared of nothing
    Violence or loving my way
    Today

The Proximity Effect (1998)

  1. Hyperspace

    Lyrics: Hyperspace

    Hands up who thinks it's now
    Home base is the bathroom where the lights are bright
    It's never too late if you know how
    We got our own brand of hyperspace
    You cannot change anyone
    There is no peace, there's only sun
    When you wanna go, i know you will
    When you wanna go, i know you will
    And i can see it all and i'm ok, but i wish there was another way
    There's no right and there's no wrong
    There's just the balance of the things you know
    When you wanna go, i know you will
    When you wanna go, i know you will
    And i can see it all and i'm ok, but i wish there was another way
    And i can see it all and i'm ok, but i wish there was another way
    Hands up who thinks it's noooow
    Home base is the bathroom where the lights are bright
    When you wanna go, i know you will
    When you wanna go, i know you will
    And i can see it all and i'm ok, but i wish there was another way (x3)
  2. Amateur

    Lyrics: Amateur

    You made me feel like I'm ok, I could be happy
    Now I can sit, not run away stupidly laughing
    Wipe out all self-pity, it's slowing me down.
    Turn off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down.
    
    I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something
    I've got all that I need to save my day, so why'm I running?
    You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry.
    I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try.
    
    I had a birthday party and it was packed, got friends who love me
    We hung a disco ball up and watched the lights, they were so lovely
    
    You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry.
    I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try. I've gotta try.
    
    When exactly are we? I get the decades mixed up.
    I like the streets when they're empty, I can make the rest up.
    I can make the rest up,
    I can make the rest up.
    
    I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something
    I've got all that I need to save my day, so why'm I running?
    You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry.
    I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try.
    
    Every day is New Year's Eve,
    Every night is the last night.
    Every day is New Year's Eve,
    Every time is the last time.
    You said I should get professional help, It always makes me cry
    I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try,
    I've gotta try.
  3. 80 Windows

    Lyrics: 80 Windows

    Clusters of people talking secretly to each other
    In a bar you cannot talk openly
    To anyone you don't already know
    4-year-olds, they've got the right idea
    They jump the line and hit it on the nose
    
    When we sit and we get quiet
    Then we look and see who's home across the way
    There are 80 windows we can see
    It's Christmastime and they all have the same tree
    
    You tell me the patterns you already see
    I wonder if they see us in our bed
    You said you like the one
    With the father who always eats with his son
    I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm
    I feel far away from you, so what else is new?
    The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone
    
    When we sit and we get quiet
    Then we look and see who's home across the way
    
    You said you like the one
    With the father who always eats with his son
    I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm
    I feel far away from you, so what else is new?
    The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone
    
    I feel far away from you, so what else is new?
    The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone
    The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone
    The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone
  4. Mother’s Day

    Lyrics: Mother’s Day

    I wanna know, do you have the balls to ask?
    What do you see when you look at a girl?
    Is she a game you wanna win?
    If no-one was looking what would you do to get in?
    Do you have friends who would be proud if you went in for the kill?
    Do you have friends who would do it even against her will?
    
    What if they did that to your sister?
    What if they did that to your mother?
    What if they did that to your sister?
    What if they did that to your mom?
    
    Why are we so slow?
    
    I bet you think you're such a hottie, but a body afraid is not a sexual body.
    What do you see when you look at a girl?
    Is she a game you wanna win?
    If no-one was looking what would you do to get in?
    
    Everybody's been laughed at and everybody's been left out but
    That's no excuse to turn it around, no boy has the right to hold a girl down.
    
    What if they did that to your sister?
    What if they did that to your mother?
    What if they did that to your sister?
    What if they did that to your mom?
    
    On your star wars sheets when you set the scene,
    Was she seducing you, or did she want to scream?
    
    It's you versus you. x3 versus me
    It's you versus you. x3 versus me
    
    I can't forget that tomorrow's mother's day.x4
    I'm talking to you, you know who you are, going too far.x2
    You'll feel good for ten seconds, she'll be screwed up for life.x2
    
    Blue balls and all of that bullshit.x4
  5. Troublemaker

    Lyrics: Troublemaker

    Why do i feel bad again?
    I shouldn't be sad or miss a grin.
    Doubt creeps in and doubt creeps out,
    Skews the view from my cloud.
    
    Troublemaker tempting fate,
    Questioning the path i take,
    Showing me the twists and turns,
    The forks and points of no return.
    
    I would hold my breath so long
    To wash ashore where i belong.
    
    Broken roses on the steps,
    Like promises i never kept.
    Promises i never made
    But could have honored anyway.
    Tied to years, slave to fears,
    I will always hold you dear.
    Tired, troubled but sincere,
    Wishing... fuck the rime.
    Wishing i had a time
    To wish you mine.
    
    Every day i choose to spend the rest of my life with her
    And every day i break the molds of lives and worlds.
    I already miss the things that i will never know.
    I will never know the things that i've already missed.
    I would hold my breath so long
    To wash ashore where i belong.
    I would hold my breath so long
    To wash ashore where i belong.
  6. Bacardi

    Lyrics: Bacardi

    When you walk home from the party
    Drunk on bacardi and listening
    To the voices that lie to you nightly,
    Make you frightened of everyone,
    Make you sorry for something.
    You go home and spend your life alone with the stereo,
    Watching the late show; or force yourself
    Out in the night to meet your generation.
    You feel like claymation in fluorescent light.
    
    On our knees, we made it hard to see,
    We made it hard to breathe and the air was thin.
  7. Bad Best Friend

    Lyrics: Bad Best Friend

    I only wanna say things that are pure: now i won't be talking anymore.
    I only wanna do things that are true. every time i move i'm hurting you.
    
    I wanna know what is it that you do
    To keep from hurting anyone but you?
    
    Cause i still say your name when i don't feel right, just like i used to
    And if most people fade to gray and black, you'll fade to light blue.
    
    I think too much and then start talking mean.
    Where did i get all these selfish genes?
    Best friends, i'm a bad best friend.
    
    I'll meet you today when no-one is watching.
    We'll throw our money away, i'll meet you today.
  8. The Voices

    Lyrics: The Voices

    Why do i worry, what do they think?
    What is she saying to them?
    I can't ignore anything.
    You're eating up my world like my every second was haunted.
    Were you just like this since you were a girl, cause it's all i've ever wanted.
    
    I'm just like you, peel away the layers two by two.
    You're just like me, piling on the pressure three by three.
    We're almost done shutting out the voices one by one.
    
    Why do i worry, what do they think?
    What is she telling her friends? i can't ignore anything.
    I'm planning out my moves like my every second was graded.
    I'm obsessed, i get no rest.
  9. Firecracker

    Lyrics: Firecracker

    This time the win is mine
    My perfect life
    Room spin, don't know how to stop
    Don't know how to start
    Firecracker
    The one you keep inside
    Firecracker
    You don't know how to light
    So sink in the tailspin of plans and sleep
    Or come and crush me tight
    My favorite high
    Here comes the film, PG-13
    Crackdown
    No net, no cage
    No first mistake
  10. Slow Down

    Lyrics: Slow Down

    You see yourself sitting on top so self assured - happy,
    But when your parents bail you out you somehow feel not free.
    You're bored to tears in school, it's not like what you thought at all.
    Trouble is not the answer. i know what you want to know:
    
    Slow down;
    Why you wanna move so fast?
    Why you wanna walk so far?
    
    I think i know what you want.
    
    Your father toys with you hoping his evil game will win.
    In order not to loose, the trick is not to play with him.
    Anything good you do is added to your past - your wealth.
    You'll need it all the day you finally choose to ask yourself:
    
    Slow down;
    Why you wanna move so fast?
    Why you wanna walk so far?
    Wait and find out who you are
    And how you're gonna make it last.
    
    Something's gonna change, now re-spell your name.
    Tired of highs and lows, now derail your train.
    
    And if this letter finds you lost and out of touch - lonely,
    I hope you know by now you mean so very much to me.
  11. Robot

    Lyrics: Robot

    You're just walking round your little mazes
    Figuring out how to get by
    How to get laid and get famous
    Get yourself paid, impress the guys
    You're taught to divide
    The world into buddies and wives
    Sluts and wimps
    And ever since
    You've kept a score card
    How else to prove you're such the pimp
    
    You are just a robot
    Executing a program
    
    Get on a train where the crowd is tightening
    To push yourself up against a girl
    And when you're not getting play
    You keep trying
    You don't understand the consensual way
    
    You are just a robot
    Executing a program
    You are just a robot
    An imitation of a man
    
    She told me one night
    When we were lying quiet and cold
    Something not right
    It had months since the good times
    Once there was sun
    Now there was night
    
    She said to me
    As she turned on the light
    "There's something you don't know
    That keeps me from feeling right,
    I once knew a guy, I'd seen him around,
    He knew all my friends, he came from town
    
    One night at a party, we both were there
    He followed me into the bathroom, he grabbed my hair"
    And she said "I still remember
    Just how the floor felt
    And how my head would hit the tub."
    
    Now where is that robot,
    Is he alive or is he done?
    Does he breathe air that I breathe?
    Is he kept warm by the same sun?
    
    You are just a robot
    Executing a program
    An imitation of a man
    Executing a program
    An imitation of a man
    An imitation of a man
    An imitation of a man
    An imitation of a man
    An imitation of a man
  12. Silent Fighting

    Lyrics: Silent Fighting

    Don't know what to say
    Don't know what to talk about
    Don't know what to do
    About me and you
    I don't know what to think
    I always feel time's running out
    It's getting harder
    Harder to get a clue
    Even when we're quiet fighting
    Silent treatment on the street
    Still there's no doubt we're going home together
    Even when we're silent fighting
    Making a scene on the street
    We'll be under the covers and out of the weather
    I just can't tell the truth
    Always thinking 'bout leaving you
    I'll be the captive
    You'll be the captain
    I'll be your chaperone
    I'll book your first date now
    Been watching too much television
    Been thinking stupid thoughts
    So confused about men and women
    I just can't tell the truth
    Always thinking 'bout leaving you
  13. Spooky

    Lyrics: Spooky

    Do you remember lying on the ground
    You were smart and spooky
    We rented a car and left our bands
    And drove outside the city
    I remember the view
    It was the stars and you
    We thought that this was the one
    Both of our ships had come
    
    When I went away you made me a book
    Full of goodnight letters
    I answered each one and we made plans
    For when we'd be together
    But when we wanted more
    And told you I wasn't sure
    It started a storm
    You think it's all my fault
    I think it's all your fault
    
    But we were never so together
    Everywhere we went
    Was everywhere we went
    Some people thought we were fighting
    Trying to read each other's writing
    How can you resurrect straight into a wreck?

Let Go (2002)

  1. Blizzard of '77

    Lyrics: Blizzard of '77

    In the blizzard of '77
    The cars were just lumps on the snow
    And then later
    Tripping in 7-11
    The shelves were stretching out of control
    On a plane ride
    The more it shakes
    The more i have to let go
    Now the signals
    Still getting all mixed up
    We're always doing damage control
    But in the middle of the night i worry
    It's blurry even without light
    I know i have got a negative edge
    That's why i sharpen all the others a lot
    It's like flowers or ladybugs
    Pretty weeds or red beetles with dots
    (Repeat)
    I miss you more than i knew
  2. The Way You Wear Your Head

    Lyrics: The Way You Wear Your Head

    Don't push me cause I'll fall in love
    With whatever you just said
    Don't push me cause I'll fall in love
    With the way you wear your head
    
    Out in the corner
    You're glowing white
    Out in the corner
    You're glowing white
    
    I want to want you
    I need to need you
    I'd love to love you
    I want to want you
    I need to need you
    I'm begging to beg you
    
    Out in the corner
    You're glowing white
    Out in the corner
    You're glowing white
    
    I'd like to say goodbye
    To a complicated mind
    But when I walk and wave
    I'm stalked all day
    By california lives
    And things I didn't try
    Ways you were unkind
    And the strangest colored eyes
    
    Out in the corner
    You're glowing white
    Out in the corner
    You're glowing white
  3. Fruit Fly

    Lyrics: Fruit Fly

    Left some food wrapped up
    In a plastic bag
    On the kitchen table
    Way too long
    I sat down to eat
    Next to the bag
    I was too tired
    To throw it out
    I saw a swarm of fruit flies
    I took the bag downstairs
    When i came back
    They were still there
    Flying jerky patterns
    Like snowflakes in the air
    
    I'm sorry you've got nowhere to go. (X2)
    
    Left straight right straight
    I can't find a reason
    I know i'll keep going but
    I can't find a reason
    Nothing looks right
    Nothing smells right
    And i can't land
    Geometric patterns
    Smearing out of control
    Only have enough gas left
    For the beer can to the bowl
    
    What can you do but go on? (X3)
    
    Oh no you make your own mistakes
    I cannot bring them back to you
    Oh no you make your own mistakes
    I cannot measure up to you. (X2)
  4. Blonde on Blonde

    Lyrics: Blonde on Blonde

    Cats and dogs are coming down
    14th street is gonna drown
    Everyone else rushing around
    
    I've got Blonde on Blonde
    On my portable stereo
    It's a lullaby
    From a giant golden radio
    
    I've got no time I want to lose
    To people with something to prove
    What can you do but let them talk
    And make your way down the block
    
    I've got Blonde on Blonde
    On my portable stereo
    It's a lullaby
    From a giant golden radio
    I've got Blonde on Blonde
    On my portable stereo
    It's a lullaby
    From a giant golden radio
    I've got Blonde on Blonde
    On my portable stereo
    It's a lullaby
    From a giant golden radio
    
    It's a lullaby
    From a giant golden radio
    It's a lullaby
    From Wonder golden radio
    It's a lullaby
    From Wonder Woman's radio
    It's a lullaby
    It's a lullaby
    
    It's a lullaby
    It's a lullaby
    It's a lullaby
    It's a lullaby
  5. Inside of Love

    Lyrics: Inside of Love

    Watching terrible tv, it kills all thought
    Getting spacier than an astronaut
    Making out with people I hardly know or like
    I can't believe what I do, late at night
    
    I wanna know what it's like
    On the inside of love
    I'm standing at the gates
    I see the beauty above
    
    Only when we get to see the aerial view
    Will the patterns show, we'll know what to do
    I know the last page so well, I can't read the first
    So I just don't start, it's getting worse
    
    I wanna know what it's like
    On the inside of love
    I'm standing at the gates
    I see the beauty above
    I wanna know what it's like
    On the inside of love
    I can't find my way in
    I try again and again
    
    I'm on the outside of love
    Always under or above
    I can't find my way in
    I try again and again
    
    I'm on the outside of love
    Always under or above
    Must be a different view
    To be a me with a you
    
    I wanna know what it's like
    On the inside of love
    I'm standing at the gates
    I see the beauty above
    I wanna know what it's like
    On the inside of love
    Of course I'll be alright
    I just had a bad night
    I had a bad night
  6. Hi-speed Soul

    Lyrics: Hi-speed Soul

    Do you ever feel like you just landed on this earth?
    You see the creatures all do their dances back and forth
    You get restless and then you join them on the floor
    Suddenly it's tomorrow
    
    It's not today anymore (X2)
    
    Chorus:
    
    You talk to the ceiling every day
    The speakers are shaking
    Why do i hear you okay?
    They're playing soul at the wrong speed
    It sounds right now
    What are you doing to me?
    
    D'you ever feel like what we call real life is not so real?
    Tripping up on the same old problems you had last year
    We'll pretend it's another planet not so uptight
    The stars are shining above the city every night
    They come every night
    
    Chorus (x1)
    
    Where are we going?
    I don't care
    Our friends all left
    Let's go anywhere
    It's getting late
    I don't care
    It's just you and me
    Let's go anywhere
  7. No Quick Fix

    Lyrics: No Quick Fix

    There's no quick fix
    You gotta take your licks
    Strange times long lines
    There are no clean cups
    You gotta mess it up
    To see why you cry
    
    Chorus:
    
    I can't stay home at night
    I'm drawn out like a moth to lamplight
    Do I speak or hold you tight?
    The words were voted out by a landslide
    
    Come on now
    You've got to try it out
    You're killing time
    You're killing mine
    
    Don't go
    I'll never know
    When you're away
    I sleep all day
    Nothing works
    And thinking hurts
    You belong to me
    In my dreams
    
    Chorus (x1)
  8. Killian's Red

    Lyrics: Killian's Red

    I'm putting this night down to bed
    'Cause I was sitting at the bar
    Hoping you'd walk in the door that says Killian's red
    'Cause I left you a note that said
    Come on out and we'll both get right off of our heads
    And float up off the chair
    We'll go on vacation tonight
    Under a sun of neon light
    And I almost love this town when I'm by your side
    
    You woke me from a long sleep and I'm almost back
    Closer than ever to finding the hidden track
    If I told you the truth you wouldn't like what I said
    I almost believed I was dead
    There'll be no more waiting
    You're gonna melt all the ice in my head
    There'll be no more crying
    You're gonna make it all better instead
    
    I'm putting this night down to bed
    'Cause I was sitting at the bar
    Hoping you'd walk in the door that says Killian's red
    'Cause I left you a note that said
    Come on out and we'll both get right off of our heads
    And float up off the chair
    I get secrets at night
    But they don't stay
    I get secrets at night
    But they go away
    We'll go on vacation tonight
    Under a sun of neon light
    And I almost love this town when I'm by your side
    
    You woke me from a long sleep and I'm almost back
    Closer than ever to finding the hidden track
    If I told you the truth you wouldn't like what I said
    I almost believed I was dead
    There'll be no more waiting
    You're gonna melt all the ice in my head
    There'll be no more crying
    You're gonna make it all better instead
  9. La Pour Ca

    Lyrics: La Pour Ca

    Pense a moi la prochaine fois que
    Tu entendra la rumeur des vagues
    Et si elles te disent que tu m'as fait
    Que du mal, t'en fais pas
    J'suis la pour ca
    La mer connait pas le fil du temps
    Qui nous rapproche et nous separe
    
    Vive la maree haute et vive la basse
    Mais surtout vive la difference
    J'suis la pour ça
    
    Laisse couler le bateau
    Oublie tes moeurs
    Laisse-toi aller et n'ai pas peur
    
    Les mecs c'est des salauds
    Mais peut-être pas tous
    Remplis ton verre et a nos amours
    
    Les mecs c'est des salauds
    Mais peut-être pas tous
    Remplis ton verre et a nos amours
    
    J'suis la pour ça
    
    J'suis la pour ça
    J'suis la pour ça
  10. Happy Kid

    Lyrics: Happy Kid

    I'm just a happy kid
    Stuck with the heart of a sad punk
    Drowning in my id
    Always searching like it's on junk
    No matter who I hang out with
    I can hear the clack-clunk
    Of the chains that pull the cars up
    The roller coaster mountain top so high
    When it comes down it shoots back up
    Straight back to the sky
    I gotta laugh and then I'm asleep
    And then I walk around and wanna cry
    
    Out at night to do the strand
    The little candles make the bottles glow
    Got ink all over my right hand
    Getting crushes with no chance to grow
    It's like I'll never ever land
    There's always too much sun
    Or too much snow
    
    Chorus:
    
    I get slow days and no days
    I get rusty and it's hard
    But I get notions and oceans
    Are coming to my call
    
    (Interlude)
    
    You can learn to get along (x4)
    
    Chorus (x1)
    
    And I'm just a happy kid
    Stuck with the heart of a sad punk
    Drowning in my id
    Always searching like it's on junk
    No matter who I hang out with
    I can hear the clack-clunk
    Of the chains that pull the cars up
    The roller coaster mountain top so high
    When it comes down it shoots back up
    Straight back to the sky
    I gotta laugh and then I'm asleep
    And then I walk around and wanna cry
    
    I'm just a happy kid (x4)
  11. Treading Water

    Lyrics: Treading Water

    Movies like zoos
    Try another me and I will
    Try another you
    Or put my arms around you
    Like I think you want me to
    But tell me what you're thinking
    I so often misconstrue
    
    Treading water
    Treading white wine
    Seeing borders seeing straight lines
    I get these feelings that I don't have much time
    Always rushing always late (x2)
    
    Movies like zoos
    
    I talk to missionaries when they're standing at my door
    They tell me what I should be reading I still can't see what for
    We both stand there politely trying to change each other's core
    
    When other angels float by
    They seem likely to fall from the sky
    What I want is difficult I must try
    I see traces when you walk
    
    Other voices when you talk
    When you talk
    
    When other angels float by
    They seem likely to fall from the sky
    What I want is difficult I must try
    I see traces when you walk
    
    Treading water
    Treading white wine
    Seeing borders seeing straight lines
    I get these feelings that I don't have much time
    
    Always rushing always late (x2)
    Always late (x2)
    I'm always rushing
    Always late (x4)
    I'm always rushing (x2)
    Always late
  12. Paper Boats

    Lyrics: Paper Boats

    Sit on a train, reading a book
    Same damn planet every time I look
    Try to relax and slow my heartbeat
    Only works when I'm dead asleep
    Been thinking and drinking all over the town
    Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown
    All I am is a body floating downwind
    All I am is a body floating downwind
    
    What's wrong?
    Nothing
    Are you sure nothing's wrong?
    Yeah
    But you're sad about something?
    Yeah
    So tell me what
    I don't know
    I can't tell you
    I can't tell you
    I can't tell you
    I can't tell you
    
    All I am is a body floating downwind
    All I am is a body floating downwind
    
    Sit on a train, reading a book
    Same damn planet every time I look
    Try to relax and slow my heartbeat
    Only works when I'm dead asleep
    Been thinking and drinking all over the town
    Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown
    
    As the express train passes the local
    It moves by just like a paper boat
    Although it weighs a million pounds
    I swear it almost seems to float
    And as we pass by each other
    Our heads all full of bother
    We can't look, we can't stop
    We can't think, we can't stop
    Because we're stuck in our own paths
    And it's the way it always lasts
    And I need something more from you
    
    All I am is a body floating downwind
    All I am is a body floating downwind
    Floating downwind

The Weight Is a Gift (2005)

  1. Concrete Bed

    Lyrics: Concrete Bed

    The world's locked up in your head
    You've been pouring in a concrete bed
    Your habits ossified
    You don't realize you're fried,
    You so fried
    
    To find someone you love
    You gotta be someone you love
    To find someone you love
    You gotta be someone you love
    
    The reason's somewhere in the timber
    It takes years till it sinks in
    You've used up the easy streets,
    And you lost your taste for treats
    You're so fried
    
    To find someone you love
    You gotta be someone you love
    To find someone you love
    You gotta be someone you love
    
    Stay high if you have to
    Do whatever it asks you
    You got another calling
    Don't let it pass you
    
    You know it cause you wrote it
    You just didnt think you'd actually do it
    It's just another wish you wished in a very long list
    
    To find someone you love
    You gotta be someone you love
    To find someone you love
    You gotta call your own bluff
  2. Do It Again

    Lyrics: Do It Again

    Well I'd snap to attention if I thought that you knew the way
    I'd open my mouth if I had something smart to say
    I bought a stack of books, I didn't read a thing
    It's like I'm sitting here waiting for birds to sing
    
    Let's do it again
    Come on, let's do it again
    Please, let's do it again
    Come on, let's do it again
    
    The hum of the clock is a far away place
    The azalea air holding your face
    You're lying down and the moon is sideways (*** cold that never gets old)
    It's like I'm sitting here waiting for birds to sing
    
    I spend all my energy staying upright
    And I like the masked noise quiet of your breathing nearby
    
    Let's do it again
    Come on, let's do it again
    Please, let's do it again
    Come on, let's do it again
    
    I want your lazy science, I want some peace
    Are you the future? Show me the keys
    
    I spend all my energy walking upright
    I like the masked noise quiet of your breathing nearby
    When I accelerate I remember why it's good to be alive
    Like a 25-cent game
    
    Maybe this weight was a gift
    Like I had to see what I could lift
    I spend all my energy walking upright
  3. Always Love

    Lyrics: Always Love

    To make a mountain of your life is just a choice
    But I never learned enough
    To listen to the voice that told me
    Always love
    Hate will get you every time
    Always love
    Don't wait till the finish line
    Slow demands come 'round
    Squeeze the air and keep the rest out
    It helps to write it down
    Even when you then cross it out
    But always love, hate will get you every time
    Always love, even when you wanna fight
    Self-directed lives
    I want to know what it'd be like to
    Aim so high above
    Any card that you get dealt, you
    Always love
    Hate will get you every time
    Always love
    Hate will get you
    I've been held back by something
    Yeah, you said to me quietly on the stairs
    I've been held back by something
    Yeah, you said to me quietly on the stairs
    You said
    Hey, you good ones
    Hey, you good ones
    To make a mountain of your life is just a choice
    But I never learned enough
    To listen to the voice that told me
    Always love (always love)
    Hate will get you every time
    Always love (always love)
    Hate will get you
    I've been held back by something
    Yeah, you said to me quietly on the stairs
    I've been held back by something
    Yeah, you said to me quietly on the stairs
    You said
    Hey, you good ones
    Hey, you good ones
    Hey, you good ones
    Ah-ah-ah
  4. What Is Your Secret?

    Lyrics: What Is Your Secret?

    So we sat and talked
    Then we walked and talked but
    Thought it was the truth
    What is your secret?
    
    Dragged it on and on
    Even favorite songs but
    Your division's wrong
    What is your secret?
    
    I don't care about you any more
    The people got tired
    Our movies don't play much any more
    The actress was fired
    
    You said you were yourself
    Not being someone else
    That this was new for you
    But what is your secret?
    
    You said just what i said
    So why's the meter red?
    And why's the needle pegged?
    What is your secret?
    
    I don't care about you any more
    The people got tired
    Our movies don't play much any more
    The actress was fired
    
    I don't care about you
    I try not to think about you
    
    You want to control
    You want to be controlled
    You're like a little switch
    And then you take your toll
    
    Your every reckless twist
    I wasn't made for this
    Thank god that life is so long
    And the city's so big
    
    So we sat and talked
    Then we walked and talked
    
    You said just what i said
    So why's the meter red?
    And why's the needle pegged?
    
    I don't care about you any more
    The people got tired
    Our movies don't play much any more
    The actress was fired
    
    I don't think about you
    
    I try not to think about you
    
    I don't care about you any more
    The people got tired
    Our movies don't play much any more
    The actress was fired
  5. Your Legs Grow

    Lyrics: Your Legs Grow

    If you were here
    Baby we'd increase the dose
    There was no fear
    In my room when we got close
    Call me anytime you've got a ghost
    
    You're the only person in the world
    I feel that way about
    And if you move off to the side
    I'll get swept back out
    Where it's cold but not that deep
    Cos your legs grow
    Cold but not that deep
    Cos your legs grow
    
    There's a lot that rises up
    From the bottom of the lake
    And its beam has hit me hard
    Now i'm wide awake
    Where it's cold but not that deep
    Cos your legs grow
    Cold but not that deep
    Cos your legs grow
    
    If you were here
    Baby we'd increase the dose
    There was no fear
    In my room when we got close
    Call me anytime you've got a ghost
  6. All Is a Game

    Lyrics: All Is a Game

    Did you wake up and lie there
    And think it through?
    Is the weight of your own life
    Too much for you?
    
    Well
    x2
    
    Woke up and hour after the clock
    Remembered the details
    And wanted to stop
    The stakes in my life
    Are going so far up
    That my fingers are like
    Haven't you had enough
    
    But first i gotta find money
    I gotta get lunch
    Tell me something funny
    Coz i'm cracking up
    And later when i see stars
    I'll know i'm alright
    I go scary far
    From the dark to the light
    
    But
    x2
    
    The stove is open coz it's cold
    Got a stack of posessions to be sold
    There's a hallway to a doorway
    To a room that you're in
    And in there all day
    The walls are you say
    The sky's whatever you say
    x4
  7. Blankest Year

    Lyrics: Blankest Year

    Ah, fuck it...
    I'm gonna have a party (x2)
    
    I had the blankest year
    I saw life turn into a T.V. show
    It was totally weird
    The person I knew I didn't really know
    
    Time don't move
    We're the only ones who do
    Bending reason
    'Cause its all we hold on to
    
    I had the blankest year
    I saw life turn into a T.V. show
    It was totally weird
    The person I knew I didn't really know
    
    And now it's lonely
    Thank god the band's doing well
    But you don't own me
    I'd like to return this spell
    'Cause it's not my size
    Your lies are so much bigger
    Than my lies
    And your ties are made of things
    That shouldn't make ties
    
    Ah, fuck it (fuck it)
    I'm gonna have a party (x3)
  8. Comes a Time

    Lyrics: Comes a Time

    Comes a time when,
    You can't judge nomore
    Go outside, babe
    Can't see the storm
    I can't believe that
    We're really all good
    One of us has gone,
    They never should.
    
    Ohhh, ohhh
    Ohhh, ohhh.
    Ohhh, ohhh
    Ohhh, ohhh.
    
    Comes a time when
    You really can't judge,
    You should go walking
    You don't even budge,
    I can't believe how
    Far we have gone
    One of us has none
    Now come along,
    Get up and tell the sun
    That you don't feel loved
    Get up and tell the sun
    That you don't feel loved
    
    Ohhh, ohhh
    Ohhh, ohhh.
    Ohhh, ohhh
    Ohhh, ohhh.
    
    How long can you
    Keep circling round'
    Like paris texus
    'Til she found out
    
    Ohhh, ohhh
    Ohhh, ohhh.
    Ohhh, ohhh
    Ohhh, ohhh.
    Ohhh, ohhh
    Ohhh, ohhh.
  9. In the Mirror

    Lyrics: In the Mirror

    In my dreams I love you like
    A snowstorm in the night
    The window's open wide
    Here comes reflected light
    We can keep the covers up
    We bet it all on love
    
    But do dreams ever do damage to life?
    When you need so much
    You can't get it right
    
    Who else is here today?
    I'm alone but can't obey
    Swim on my back at night
    Near my clothes and a flashlight
    
    I look in the mirror
    Why am i complicated?
    I'm trying to see clearer
    The sun has faded
    
    In my dreams i love you like
    A snowstorm in the night
    The window's open wide
    Here comes reflected light
    
    But do dreams ever do damage to life?
    When you need so much
    You can't get it right
    
    Who else is here today?
    I'm alone but can't obey
    Swim on my back at night
    Near my clothes and a flashlight
    
    I look in the mirror
    I look in the mirror
  10. Armies Walk

    Lyrics: Armies Walk

    I was about to change
    But you stayed the same
    Had pinned against the wall
    That we are pre-ordained
    If they gave you extra scenes
    You'd hit back to main
    Disappear by train
    Cut my signal chain
    Find a stable girl
    And fill it up again
    You can't foresee intent
    When the writer writes all bent
    Armies walk inside of me
    Armies walk physically
    Every day I steal a car
    That's how hard it is to
    Get away from where you are
    Disappear by train
    Cut my signal chain
    Find a stable world
    And fill it up again
    You can't foresee intent
    When the writer writes all bent
    Armies walk inside of me
    Armies walk physically
    We'd like you to leave
    Coz we've gotta breathe
    Who's to say
    Why we're built so strange
    Disappointing ourselves
    Before we change?
    Grass is greener right over here
    Why do simple things
    Take so many years?

Lucky (2008)

  1. See These Bones

    Lyrics: See These Bones

    Everyone's right and no one is sorry
    That's the start and the end of this story
    From the sharks and the jets
    To the call in the morning
    Everyone's right and no one is sorry
    That's the start and the end of this story
    From the sharks and the jets
    To the call in the morning
    And life is just bets anyway
    Look alive, see these bones
    What you are now, we were once
    Try as they might, no ones immune to
    Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues
    And thinkin' it's time to redo and redo
    I feel rain in the movies and the talk before the screen lights
    I hear strings in the park
    I don't like to call her right, except when its too late at night
    I mostly just think in the dark
    Look alive, see these bones
    What you are now, we were once
    Just like we are, you'll be dust
    And just like we are, permanent
    You were too tired to eat, too hungry to sleep
    Just imagine the speed, it's just what you need
    Look alive, see these bones
    What you are now, we were once
    And just like we are, you'll be dust
    And just like we are, permanent
    The lights in the city are more or less blinking
    Which side of the story decides what you're thinking
    We'll amount in cold faces??
    We're squinting, we're hurrying
    We'll take inventory
    We're digging, we're burrying
    Do you remember when the line was blown
    Do you remember when it fell
    Do you remember when you went to her house, remember ringing the bell
    Look alive, see these bones
    What you are now, we were once
    Just like we are, you'll be dust
    Just like we are, permanent
  2. Whose Authority
  3. Beautiful Beat

    Lyrics: Beautiful Beat

    Leave me alone, and there'll be
    No one to get hurt
    Nobody move and there'll be
    Nothin' to disturb
    The sum of it all is that you
    Don't know where to turn
    Despite all your promises you
    Don't keep what you learn
    
    Beautiful beat get me out of this mess
    Beautiful beat lift me up from distress
    
    Sometimes all i want is another
    Drink or another pill
    If i could get anything done
    Maybe I'd hold still
    I'm trying to levitate I'm
    Trying to leave the ground
    Tryin' to remember when i could
    Fix anything with sound
    
    Beautiful beat get me out of this mess
    Beautiful beat lift me up from distress
    
    I believe our love can save me
    Have to believe that it can
    I want to redirect myself with you
    Do you understand?
    
    Beautiful beat, get me out of this mess
    Beautiful beat, lift me up from distress
    
    (Beautiful beat get me out of this mess
    Beautiful beat lift me up from distress)
    
    I believe our love can save me
    Have to believe that it can
    I gotta reinvent myself for you
    Can i be your man?
    
    Beautiful beat, get me out of this mess
    Beautiful beat, lift me up from distress
  4. Here Goes Something

    Lyrics: Here Goes Something

    Look around, what a mess
    Anybody's guess
    Here goes something
    Yeah here goes something
    Now change programs
    Here goes something
    
    Gravity's, big success
    No one's taken off yet
    Changing speeds, What a ride
    
    Stir up your insides
    Your majesty
    Your majesty
    Your majesty
    Where we mean
    
    Chasing light, dawn to bed
    It came to me instead
    Chasing light, dawn to bed
    It came to me instead
  5. Weightless

    Lyrics: Weightless

    Outside just killing time and making noise
    And outside the daylight comes, the daylight goes and weightless
    If its weightless it makes no stairways to stairs that go nowhere
    And don't dream, that is a dream it is what it seems
    
    Climbing from over stimulated states to hearing
    Cold radio and licenses plates but don't dream,
    That is a dream it is what it seems
    That is a dream it is what it seems
    
    Behind every desire is another one waiting to be liberated when the first ones sated
    
    Water skiing, the waters hot, the waters soft
    You act nice, a black birthday card I threw it away
    
    Correct life, is like eating steel or flying a plane
    It's too bright, it's too bright
    
    Outside just killing time and making noise
    And outside the daylight comes, the daylight goes and weightless
    If its weightless it makes no stairways to stairs that go nowhere
    Climbing from over stimulated states to hearing
    Cold radio and licenses plates but don't dream,
    That is a dream it is what it seems
    That is a dream it is what it seems
    
    Why do black hats hide behind each others backs all the time?
    Behind every desire is another one waiting to be liberated when the first ones sated
  6. Are You Lightning?

    Lyrics: Are You Lightning?

    And so we meet and there are sparks,
    Its gold it's new and free from sharks,
    Your house is big it seems so clean,
    Your cleaning lady comes and we're discreet.
    
    Are you lightning?
    'Cause I'm waiting.
    What's the timing?
    I'm not playing.
    
    And so I act like I'm 21,
    Wide eyed and drifting unto sun,
    Pay back is here my legs are numb,
    I'm back, it's square one feeling dumb.
    
    The sweet things,
    When do they come?
    Have I gone deaf?
    What's the song?
    Are you lightning?
    'Cause I'm waiting,
    This is frightening,
    I'm not playing.
    
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...
    
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...
    
    I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep,
    I see you through the mirror
    You sing we're not to steal.
    
    The only thing I'm scared of is the secret that you keep,
    I know where you are, I dunno where you are.
    Don't make the other wonder the others might sting,
    Tell me what you're thinking,
    Do not let me twist.
    Just look at the size of you.
    
    I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep,
    I see you with something that's funny I hear you I almost weep,
    
    I see you from my steps, you're walking up my street,
    But just look at the size of you.
    
    I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep,
    I see you from my steps you're walking up my street.
    
    And just look at the size of you,
    The sun shine on and on...
    The sun shine on and on...
  7. I Like What You Say

    Lyrics: I Like What You Say

    Emergency above
    Put on your hard hats and invisible gloves
    What's going on?
    I was on the wagon, I thought I was done
    You have to watch out
    When one falls in another can't get out
    
    You say that I like what you say
    I like what you say
    You say that I like what you say
    I like what you say
    
    They say I have to have somebody
    They say you have to be someones
    They say if you're not lonely alone
    Boy, there is something wrong
    
    You say that I like what you say
    I like what you say
    You say that I like what you say
    I like what you say
    
    You say baby, I only wanna make you happy
    Baby, I only wanna make you
    
    They say you learn from your mistakes
    That's not always the case
    And seeing that I understand
    How I made 'em again and again
    
    They say you have to have somebody
    They say you have to be someones
    They say if you're not lonely alone
    Boy, there is something wrong
    
    You say that I like what you say
    I like what you say
    You say that I like what you say
    I like what you say
    
    You say baby, I only wanna make you happy
    Baby, I only wanna make you happy
    Lately I only wanna make you happy
    Baby, I only wanna make you
  8. From Now On

    Lyrics: From Now On

    Here comes the hot feeling again
    When I hear his name
    I clearly have no control
    Can't help wondering
    
    If herein gone like a wave
    I forget but then start rememberin'
    The devil in my mind, why can't he go home?
    Are we on our way?
    
    I do not want to be in this song
    Sung while the summer rots and the hots hot
    Where is the wind?
    Why does it feel still again?
    Can't think along these lines
    I'm gonna live a long time
    Not along these lines
    I'm gonna live a long time
    
    When it goes black it goes black so fast
    No good state lasts
    What I get slow is how to bounce back
    You'll have to invent what you lack
    
    Now it's hunting season for sleeping demons
    I want your attention, your invention
    For every new reason, do you know how I need it?
    
    But oh your face and everything that you say
    And oh your face and everything that you say
    And oh your face and everything that you say
    
    I almost thought you stopped talking to me
    Your call came like a wave of relief
    I'm such a lucky mess
    I just need some rest
    
    Take me along
    From now on
    Take me along
    From now on
    
    I'm gonna live a long time
    I'm gonna live a long time
    I'm gonna live a long time
  9. Ice on the Wing

    Lyrics: Ice on the Wing

    I am made of Sopwith Camel
    Sherman PT-17, sixty and cloudy, I go slow
    Compared to modernity I am a humming bee
    Sweater-weather and
    Hugs and drugs and movies
    
    But baby ice
    Is growing on the wing
    Baby ice is growing on the wing
    You rolled the dice but
    You didn't know anything
    Underneath the oxide
    Underneath the oxide
    It's all the same song
    
    I am made of no newspapers
    When the V-1 buzzing stopped
    Only prayers
    I am made of young curiosity, deluded piety
    Double-whiskey for the men
    Don't talk to thy neighbour
    If they don't take your same lord as saviour
    In a songless meeting house
    Proud to be the only ones
    Who get saved in the end
    From hugs and drugs and movies
    
    But baby ice
    Is growing on the wing
    Baby ice is growing on the wing
    You rolled the dice but
    You didn't know anything
    
    What if I start now?
    Just like someone's watching me
    Somebody's watching me
    What if I start now?
    Just like someone's watching me
    
    But baby ice
    Is growing on the wing
    Baby ice is growing on the wing
    Baby ice is growing on the wing
    Baby ice is growing on the wing
    Underneath the oxide
    Underneath the oxide
    Underneath the oxide
    It's all the same
  10. The Fox

    Lyrics: The Fox

    The fox, the fox
    Lied
    Eyes under my prize
    
    The fox, the fox
    Lied
    Fox eyes under my prize
    
    We're in a different war
    With ourselves, and with some of you
    So many things that don't hold true
    
    With the fear that dims our light
    With the barnacles on our right
    
    On the grass, beachy head
    On the cliff to which you've been lead
    The curve of the hill is green and soft
    As if the wind would hold you aloft
    
    Its how you feel for me now, not how you felt
    Its how you deal with envy, not how you dealt
    
    Recognise and send away, set it asail
    Serenity inside of me
    
    We're in a different war
    With ourselves, and with some of you
    So many things that can't be true
    
    On the grassy beachy head
    On the cliff where you were laid
    The curve, the hill is green and soft
    As if the wind would hold you
    
    Serenity inside of me
    Set asail
    
    But you'll sail alone
    If you don't hold the rope
    You'll go alone
  11. The Film Did Not Go ’Round

    Lyrics: The Film Did Not Go ’Round

    The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
    The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
    I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound
    
    Take a train to a bus, and then into the air
    Take a train to a bus, and then into the air
    If I had wings, I'd follow you up there
    
    Girl you know I hate to see you go
    I hate to see you go
    But the sunlight follows you right down the road
    
    Just the thought of you makes me wanna cry
    Just the thought of you makes me wanna cry
    This deep well of tears has just run dry
    
    You showed me just how easy love could be
    You showed me just how silly love could be
    But everything, you showed me gracefully
    
    Everyone's gotta leave their love sometime
    Everyone's gotta leave their love sometime
    If not now, then at the end of your life-time
    
    You'll be waiting by my bed I know
    You'll be waiting by my bed I know
    And your last little words will be i love you so
    
    The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
    The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round
    I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound
  12. I Wanna Take You Home

    Lyrics: I Wanna Take You Home

    I wanna take you home
    See your books and your shoes
    Stay up all night
    Drink a bottle or two
    
    Would you wanna do
    Anything that you want?
    Uh uh uh uh uh uh
    
    Come over my way
    Give me the tie a day
    Of course you
  13. Everyone’s on Tour

    Lyrics: Everyone’s on Tour

    I want to go to the party
    Where the music's always on
    It's always someone's favorite song
    Like everyone's on tour
    And nobody has to be anywhere anymore
    
    White pedal
    When you try
    Black pedal
    You give up quick
    You're ready to hide
    
    I want to know how I feel for you
    Not to vote, decide
    Like half of nature died
    Leaving only my name
    Ain't no reason to go anywhere out in this rain
    
    I want to be with you
    And you're in my house
    No worries, life is on
    And all our jobs are done
    Like you and me are on tour
    We're drinking wine and we're rolling around on the floor
    
    I'm coming over - saying hello
    I'm coming over - saying hello
    I'm coming over - saying hello
    I'm coming over - saying hello
    
    Each slot goes to only one side
    Each bird goes to only one pile
    
    I'm coming over - saying hello
    I'm coming over - saying hello
    
    I want to go to the party
    Where the music's always on
    It's always someone's favorite song
    Like everyone's on tour
    And nobody has to be anywhere anymore

If I Had a Hi-Fi (2010)

  1. Electrocution

    Lyrics: Electrocution

    I wouldn't mind if I could find
    A little electrocution.
    Sometimes I feel I need it here,
    A little electrocution.
    The wire's hot, lights are red
    A sparkle straight to my heart
    I'm still livin' in the dark
    I'm still livin' in the dark
    I wouldn't mind if I could find
    A little electrocution.
    My despair flows everywhere
    To a little electrocution
    Spools of coil across the sky
    Unraveling out for miles
    I've been bangin' on diles (not sure about this word)
    I've been bangin' on diles
    I wouldn't mind if I could find
    A little electrocution.
    I need a jolt some thunderbolts
    Of a little electrocution
    No one loves you like I do
    No one loves you like, you know, I do
    All there is is beautiful
    All there is needs to die
    I've been wandering why
    I've been wandering why
    I wouldn't mind if I could find
    A little electrocution.
    I'm down quite beneath the light
    Of a little electrocution
    I wouldn't mind if I could find
    A little electrocution.
    Sometimes I feel I need it here,
  2. Enjoy the Silence

    Lyrics: Enjoy the Silence

    Words like violence
    Break the silence
    Come crashing in
    Into my little world
    
    Painful to me
    Pierce right through me
    Can't you understand
    Oh, my little girl
    
    All I ever wanted
    All I ever needed
    Is here in my arms
    Words are very unnecessary
    They can only do harm
    
    Vows are spoken
    To be broken
    Feelings are intense
    Words are trivial
    
    Pleasures remain
    So does the pain
    Words are meaningless
    And forgettable
    
    All I ever wanted
    All I ever needed
    Is here in my arms
    Words are very unnecessary
    They can only do harm
    
    All I ever wanted
    All I ever needed
    Is here in my arms
    Words are very unnecessary
    They can only do harm
    
    All I ever wanted
    All I ever needed
    Is here in my arms
    Words are very unnecessary
    They can only do harm
    
    All I ever wanted
    All I ever needed
    Is here in my arms
    Words are very unnecessary
    They can only do harm
  3. Love Goes On!

    Lyrics: Love Goes On!

    There's a cat in my alleyway
    Dreaming of birds that are blue
    Sometimes, girl, when I'm lonely
    This is how I think about you
    
    There are times that I want you
    I want you so much I could burst
    I know a thing about lovers
    Lovers lie down in trust
    
    Love goes on anyway
    Love goes on anyway
    
    The people next door got their problems
    They got things they can't name
    I know a thing about lovers
    Lovers don't feel any shame
    
    Late at night with the lights down low
    The candle burns to the end
    I know a thing about darkness
    Darkness ain't my friend
    
    Love goes on anyway
    Love goes on anyway
    
    I'm gonna make you happy
    I'm gonna spin you around
    I'm gonna cut your strings
    
    I put my foot flat down on the floor
    I took it as far as I could
    I took it down there to Sheridan Street
    By the dark wood
    
    Late at night when I want you
    I lock you in my room
    
    I know a thing about darkness
    I know a thing about lovers
    I know a thing about lovers
    Lovers want the moon
    
    Love goes on anyway
    Love goes on anyway
    Love goes on anyway
    Love goes on anyway
  4. Janine

    Lyrics: Janine

    It's such a joke, what he asked me to do
    He must think I'm a fool
    Janine, don't go with those guys
    What's in it for you?
    In another day
    Your dream, it will appear
    I touched you on the arm
    I meant you no harm
    It's such a joke, what he asked me to do
    He must think I'm a fool
    Janine, you know I'm your friend
    Whatever they say
    In another day
    Your dream, it will appear
    I touched you on the arm
    You were so warm
  5. You Were So Warm

    Lyrics: You Were So Warm

    You were so warm
    You melted me in your arms
    We were so young
    You made me come undone
    
    Anyway, I told you
    That more than that
    I didn't want to go
    'Cause you were so warm
    You were so warm
    Oh, so warm
    
    I was young
    I didn't want to go
    'Cause you were so warm
    You were so warm
    Mmm, you were so warm
    
    I couldn't find
    The way to make you mine
    You were so kind
    Laid it on the line
    
    Anyway, remember, as time goes by
    That I didn't want to go
    I didn't want to go
    'Cause you were so warm
    You were so warm
    You were so warm
    Ah, you were so warm
  6. Love and Anger

    Lyrics: Love and Anger

    It lay buried here. It lay deep inside me.
    It's so deep I don't think that I can speak about it.
    It could take me all of my life,
    But it would only take a moment to
    
    Tell you what I'm feeling,
    But I don't know if I'm ready yet.
    You come walking into this room
    Like you're walking into my arms.
    What would I do without you?
    
    Take away the love and the anger,
    And a little piece of hope holding us together.
    Looking for a moment that'll never happen,
    Living in the gap between past and future.
    Take away the stone and the timber,
    And a little piece of rope won't hold it together.
    
    If you can't tell your sister,
    If you can't tell a priest,
    'Cause it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it
    To anyone,
    Can you tell it to your heart?
    Can you find it in your heart
    
    To let go of these feelings
    Like a bell to a Southerly wind?
    We could be like two strings beating,
    Speaking in sympathy...
    What would we do without you?
    Two strings speak in sympathy.
    
    Take away the love and the anger,
    And a little piece of hope holding us together.
    Looking for a moment that'll never happen,
    Living in the gap between past and future.
    Take away the stone and the timber,
    And a little piece of rope won't hold it together.
    
    We're building a house of the future together.
    (What would we do without you?)
    
    Well, if it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it,
    Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future.
    Well, if it's so deep you don't think you can speak about it,
    Don't ever think that you can't change the past and the future.
    You might not, not think so now,
    But just you wait and see--someone will come to help you.
  7. The Agony of Laffitte

    Lyrics: The Agony of Laffitte

    All I ever asked of you
    Was a copy of Garage Days
    And to tell me the truth
    Ain't no one watching you
    Exit Ventura Highway
    
    It's like I knew two of you, man
    The one before and after we shook hands
    Taking the calls
    But in all forgetting what's been said
    
    And after dark in a cab in L.A.
    Forget about the meter, man
    These are salad days
    Comes on the radio
    Comes on and what's being said
    
    Is you're no better than
    (Sylvia)
    No better than
    (Sylvia)
    
    No better than
    (Sylvia)
    Where you are
    (Where you've been)
    
    No better than
    (Sylvia, Sylvia)
    No better than
    (Sylvia)
    
    Where you are
    No better than
    (Where you've been)
    
    Where you are
    And where you've been
    And where you've gone, oh no
    
    Here's a mark, he's a mark on the page
    Dishing out the wisdom of this reflexive age
    Dotting the eyes with an eye
    For defining what you were
    
    So when you do that line tonight
    Remember that it came at a steep price
    And keep telling yourself
    There's more to you than her
    
    'Cause you're no better than
    (Sylvia)
    No better than
    (Sylvia)
    
    No better than
    (Sylvia)
    Where you are
    (Where you've been)
    
    No better than
    (Sylvia, Sylvia)
    No better than
    Where you are
    (Where you've been)
    No better than
    
    Where you are, where you been
    And where you gone, oh no
    
    Where you gone, oh no
    No, no, no, no, no, no
    No, no, no, no
  8. Bye Bye Beauté

    Lyrics: Bye Bye Beauté

    Puisqu'il faut une fin,
    Puisqu'on ne se verra plus jamais
    De la vie
    Sur la bouche
    
    Ou en douce
    Puisque meme un rien
    Puisque tu as trop peur
    Que je ne vois plus mes pieds
    
    Dans quelque ete
    Tu diras juste
    Bye Bye,
    Bye Bye Beaute
    
    Bye Bye,
    Bye Bye Beaute
    S'il faut un coupable,
    S'il te faut un motif
    
    Alors dessine-le
    A meme le sable
    A meme l'ete
    Nous rentrerons a Paris
    
    Le coeur bien lourd
    Un vendredi
    En trois mots
    Vers la bouche
    
    De metro
    Bye Bye,
    Bye Bye Beaute
    Bye Bye,
    
    Bye Bye Beaute
    Bye Bye,
    Bye Bye Beaute
    Bye Bye,
    
    Bye Bye Beaute
    A finira comme je l'ai dit
    Dans les larmes, sous la pluie
    Tout finira comme je l'ai predit
    
    Sans vacarme, sans un cri,
    Peut-etre meme un vendredi
    Sous une rame, a Bastille,
    A finira comme je l'ai dit
    
    Comme une panne dans la vie
  9. Question

    Lyrics: Question

    Why do we never get an answer
    When we're knocking at the door?
    With a thousand million questions
    About hate and death and war.
    
    It's where we stop and look around us
    There is nothing that we need.
    In a world of persecution
    That is burning in it's greed.
    
    Why do we never get an answer
    When we're knocking at the door?
    Because the truth is hard to swallow
    That's what the wall of love is for.
    
    It's not the way that you say it
    When you do those things to me.
    It's more the way that you mean it
    When you tell me what will be.
    
    And when you stop and think about it
    You won't believe it's true.
    That all the love you've been giving
    Has all been meant for you.
    
    I'm looking for someone to change my life.
    I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
    And if you could see what it's done to me
    To lose the the love I knew
    Could safely lead me through.
    
    Between the silence of the mountains
    And the crashing of the sea
    There lies a land I once lived in
    And she's waiting there for me.
    
    But in the grey of the morning
    My mind becomes confused
    Between the dead and the sleeping
    And the road that I must choose.
    
    I'm looking for someone to change my life.
    I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
    And if you could see what it's done to me
    To lose the the love I knew
    Could safely lead me to
    The land that I once knew.
    To learn as we grow old
    The secrets of our souls.
    
    It's not the way that you say it
    When you do those things to me.
    It's more the way you really mean it
    When you tell me what will be.
    
    Why do we never get an answer
    When we're knocking at the door?
    With a thousand million questions
    About hate and death and war.
    
    It's where we stop and look around us
    There is nothing that we need.
    In a world of persecution
    That is burning in it's greed.
    
    Why do we never get an answer
    When we're knocking at the door?

  11. Evolution

    Lyrics: Evolution

    No te gusta nada de lo que hay aquí,
    Buscas vida extraterrestre.
    En mi nave tengo sitio, vamonos,
    Vamos a ninguna parte.
    
    Evolución
    Evolución
    
    Desde que eras muy pequeña te gustó,
    Escuchar como crugía tu motor.
    Llevame contigo, llevame de aqui,
    Que me estrelle si soy feliz.
    
    Evolución
    Evolución
    
    Es un bicho raro, cambia de color
    Su cabeza distorsiona, es un ciclón
    Pero si me dice, ven y vamonos.
    Yo contigo, al fin del mundo
    
    Evolución
    Evolución
    
    Evolución
    Evolución

  12. I Remembered What I Was Going to Say

The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy (2012)

  1. Clear Eye Clouded Mind

    Lyrics: Clear Eye Clouded Mind

    You're gonna miss the word
    Everyone left the world
    Take what you can carry
    Find a road and follow
    Of course I'm supposed to work I -
    Come from the hills I -
    Can find any food I -
    Try to protect I -
    Of course I like to laugh I -
    Look at the sky
    Look in your eye
    All I feel its transition
    When do we get home?
    All I feel its transition
    Now to be alone
    With a clear eye, but a clouded mind
    You're gonna miss the word
    I come from the fen I -
    I left the den
    The wind blows no good it -
    Tells of a change that
    Might rearrange
    You can't see the ground its -
    Not where it was
    All I feel its transition
    When do we get home?
    AllI feel its transition
    Now to be alone
    With a clear eye, but a clouded mind
    The stars are indifferent to astronomy
    And all that we think we know
    Mars will salute your autonomy
    But he doesn't need to know
    All I feel its transition
    When do we get home?
    All I feel its transition
    Now to be alone
    With a clear eye, but a clouded mind
    No one wants to live this fiction
    Where didn't we go wrong?
    With a clear eye, but a clouded mind
    The stars are indifferent to astronomy
    And all that we think we know
    Mars will salute your autonomy
    But he doesn't need to know
    The stars are indifferent to astronomy
    And all that we think we know
    Mars will salute your autonomy
    But he doesn't need to know
  2. Waiting for Something

    Lyrics: Waiting for Something

    Oh my who is that child
    Where is he going too
    Why is he so wild
    What is he staring at
    Why is he so taking
    Seems like he is choosing to be
    Even when he is faking
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
    Losing energy hard to hold
    I am looking for . when I am old
    Who ever put that . driving my . it's got to be who you know
    
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
    Have I known . thousand days is there no other way to go
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
    This peace I can feel it now
    Once in a while now it better grow
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
    It always feels like I am waiting
    It always feels like I am waiting for something
  3. When I Was Young

    Lyrics: When I Was Young

    It's amazing how much time love saves you at first
    When you rediscover your reason to work
    And your aimless dreaming has found a targeting
    And normalize and greed a function return
    Came on early, quarter to two
    I don't need more wine, I'm coming for you
    We carry pictures in our pretend wallet
    Have ourselves and heavily edited
    ... eat with better handwriting and longer days at the park
    And dinners with no drama the professor and Marianne
    Came home early, a quarter to two
    I don't need more wine, I'm coming for you
    When I was young, I didn't know if I was better off with sleep over
    I've grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming off
    When I was young, I didn't know if I was better off with sleep over
    I've grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming of
    What was that world I was dreaming of
    What was that world I was dreaming of
    ... regular shirt, same ... last year, more so
    When I was young, I didn't know if I was better off with sleep over
    I've grown up, I wonder what was that world I was dreaming off
    What was that world I was dreaming of
    What was that world I was dreaming of.
  4. Jules and Jim

    Lyrics: Jules and Jim

    The speed at which you move
    It's weird how you never lose
    What can I do when I'm next to you?
    
    I am lost in my mind when you go to sleep
    I am lost in my mind when you go to sleep
    
    You gape and you lose sight
    Even under the northern lights
    Under the midnight sun well my thoughts still run
    
    I am lost in my mind when you go to sleep
    I am lost in my mind when you go to sleep
    
    Never felt such a pull before
    I'm hypnotized I'm destabilized
    I am Jules and Jim I'm me and him
    I am all three I'm Katharine
    
    The speed at which you move
    It's weird how you never lose
    What can I do when I'm next to you?
    
    I am lost in my mind when you go to sleep
    I am lost in my mind when you go to sleep
    
    Never felt such a pull before
    I'm hypnotized I'm -
    Never felt such a pull before
    I'm paralyzed
    I'm destabilized
    I am Jules and Jim I'm me and him
    I am all three I am Katharine
    I am all three I am Katharine
    I am all three I am Katharine
  5. The Moon Is Calling

    Lyrics: The Moon Is Calling

    The moon is calling the seas are calling
    Now I cannot sleep
    They're saying something projecting something
    Signals from the deep
    
    I read it somewhere that we will be
    Burning in the heat
    It's hard to believe but I hear voices
    And I cannot keep it secret
    
    The computer's recursive tuner
    It's like the tolling of a bell
    Bring me up
    Deliver me out
    Take me to the door
    I'm not running anymore
    
    Bring me up
    Deliver me out
    I want nature to be so strong
    Wind and rain
    Inky blue that goes on and on
    In the day
    
    Didn't plan it it wasn't habit
    I don't speak to trees
    I'm busy tracing I don't know what now
    Looking for relief
    
    They it's something
    They're telling us something
    We don't want to hear
    
    The computer's recursive tuner
    Is like the tolling of a bell
    Bring me up
    Deliver me out
    Take me to the door
    I'm not running anymore
    
    Bring me up
    Deliver me out
    Take me to the door
    I'm not running anymore
    
    I want nature to be so strong
    Wind and rain
    Inky blue that goes on and on
    In the day
  6. Teenage Dreams

    Lyrics: Teenage Dreams

    Calm down now
    Gotta trust the mind
    Take as common sense
    In the blood of time
    Can't talk much just a little bit
    The truth is a tree if you start shaking it
    Sometimes I ask the wrong questions
    but I get the right answers
    Moved to a tear by
    the subway break dancer
    It's never too late for teenage dreams
    It's never too late
    It's never too late for teenage dreams
    Teenage dreams
    Wind is blowing
    Did you mark that speed
    In between the days
    When the tremor seats
    And the overstock of these easy times
    Has the warnings of birds in coal mines
    Sometimes I ask the wrong questions
    but I get the right answers
    Moved to a tear by
    the subway break dancer
    It's never too late for teenage dreams
    You'll get through the days when you're way too late
    And the clouds lift the top off of the empire state
    Even those days
    You have the feeling
    Someone's listening
    Through everyone's over talking
    We sit we wait and we empty our plates
    Let's prove that this year something's coming
    Sometimes I ask the wrong questions
    but I get the right answers
    Moved to a tear by
    the subway break dancer
    It's never too late for teenage dreams
    It's never too late
    It's never too late for teenage dreams
    Teenage dreams
    Sometimes I ask the wrong questions
    but I get the right answers
    Moved to a tear by
    The subway break dancer
    The subway break dancer
    (Teenage dreams)
    The subway break dancer
    (Teenage dreams)
    The subway break dancer
  7. Looking Through

    Lyrics: Looking Through

    I'm not really here I -
    I'm just looking through
    I am watching your life
    You're watching mine too
    
    Can I join you for a -
    Circle on the ride
    They say you die of shame
    Not cold in the wild
    
    Is it true? Is it done?
    Is it over?
    Is it true? Is it done?
    Is it over?
    Are you dancing? Are you dancing it at all?
    Are you dancing? Are you dancing it at all?
    
    Move away from memory
    Move to the core
    Didn't notice anything
    No frame to the door
    
    Every birthday candle
    That ever got blown out
    Is one more year of someone trying
    To figure it all out
    
    Is it true? Is it done?
    Is it over?
    Is it true? Is it done?
    Is it over?
    Are you dancing? Are you dancing at all?
    Are you dancing? Are you dancing at all?
    
    But still the same
    I shall turn the same way to my name
    
    Don't say you need trouble
    To run from, to run
    We see lines of symmetry
    Sometimes when there are none
    
    I really like it quiet
    But I really like it loud
    Always changing but never changing
    Never can slow down
    
    Is it true? Is it done?
    Is it over?
    Is it true? Is it done?
    Is it over?
    Are you dancing? Are you dancing at all?
    Are you dancing? Are you dancing at all?
    
    You better start dancing
    Are you dancing at all?
    You better start dancing
    Are you dancing at all?
    
    Are you dancing at all?
    Are you dancing at all?
    Are you dancing at all?
    Are you dancing at all?
    Are you dancing at all?
    Are you dancing at all?
  8. Let the Fight Do the Fighting

    Lyrics: Let the Fight Do the Fighting

    Hard cover books and silver frames
    Because they're gone we drink your parents' bar
    Three am not many cars
    We go walking down the avenue doing
    Anything that makes us laugh
    Do it but it's a stupid thing to do
    
    I won't argue
    Let the fight do the fighting
    Let the right do the righting now
    I can't have you even as an enemy
    Not everything is allowed
    
    You're gonna wish that it was done
    You're gonna wish that you were young again
    You're gonna wish that is was fun
    You're gonna want to have someone again
    See what lands we have become
    Flight on the horizons everyday
    
    I won't argue
    Let the fight do the fighting
    Let the right do the righting now
    I can't have you even as an enemy
    Not everything is allowed
    
    I won't argue
    Let the fight do the fighting
    Let the right do the righting now
    I can't have you even as an enemy
    Not everything is allowed
    
    I won't argue
    Let the fight do the fighting
    Let the right do the righting now
    I can't have you even as an enemy
    Not everything is allowed
  9. No Snow on the Mountain

    Lyrics: No Snow on the Mountain

    There's no snow on the mountain
    There's no river to cross
    We'd gone past it and we counted
    Now we're drinking our dust
    
    There's no snow on the mountain
    There's no water to drink
    We sat back and we just counted
    We didn't think
    
    It's crazy cause it shouldn't be that hard
    To take care of everyone we don't need petty guards
    The only crimes left to be ones of love
    And when those eyes go dark you know it's bad enough
    We signed up for extinction anyway
    Threw out our thinking caps and gave our minds away
    
    There's no snow on the mountain
    There's no river to cross
    We'd gone past it and we counted
    Now we're drinking our dust
    
    But how many dreams do we hold on to?
    You've had so many you left with so few
    But it's really all you ever did
    You piled up the shares since you were a kid
    So many pictures of things to do
    What you were just thinking now you see right through
    
    Baby, I've only got summer tires
    But we're driving deep in your snow
    Baby, I can't reach your wires
    Let it go, let it go, let it go
    
    There's no snow on the mountain
    There's no water to drink
    We got past it and we counted
    We didn't think
    
    Baby, I've only got summer tires
    But we're driving deep in your snow
    Baby, I can't redo your wires
    Let it go, let it go, let it go
    
    Let it go
    
    There on every broadway, the liar, the friend, the curious, the cold of heart
    We did it our way, we used, we burned, we lobbed, we shipped, we scarred
    There on every broadway, the liar, the friend, the curious, the cold of heart
    We did it our way, we used, we burned, we lobbed, we shipped, we scarred
    
    We chose the scepter, we played the emperor card
    We chose the scepter, we played the emperor card
  10. The Future

    Lyrics: The Future

    The future has long lines
    The future looks like a screen
    It's all you'll ever see
    All lit up like a stadium and
    Who will be the first?
    The future's made of dust
    And we are all just rust in the machine
    
    About to make some more mistakes
    Get deathly ill three, four times
    I'll find money on the street, no unexpected luck
    I will spend some time crying
    I'll be adept so much I'll be transformed
    I'll get the baby in the king cake
    I'll climb a small mountain, get three more bikes stolen
    Take four more of kitchen series
    
    Which is imitations and hooks
    Bits that you remember nothing
    Ask it's another look
    The future's empty in it's way
    The future has long lines
    The future looks like a screen
    And I cannot believe the future's happening to me
    
    Arrows pointed, educated, words to let you know
    The border guards have graduated
    They're taking up their post
    I lift the receiver, find you there
    I'll win and lose some bets
    The magic hour, make me feel at home
    In a place I don't know yet
    I'll spook the horse, keep the lights on
    Leave mythologies alone
    I'll try to say all the right things
    But get hung up on the tone
    
    The future has long lines
    The future looks like a screen
    And I cannot believe the future's happening to me

You Know Who You Are (2016)

  1. Cold to See Clear

    Lyrics: Cold to See Clear

    Clothes make the man
    The house makes the heart
    Don't get me started
    'Bout how hard it is to start or stay on track
    Or don't dream or do whether you want or won't not to
    
    Whatever I do the radio took me the radio radio made me
    What can I do but dream
    What can we do but listen to stories wretched or glorious
    As if me and you
    In other scenes
    
    I don't mind if its raining
    I don't mind if its hard
    I don't mind what you're thinking
    I don't mind if you're not
    
    Whatever I do the airways they took me the radio radio made me
    What can I do but dream
    What can we do but listen to stories wretched or glorious
    As if me and you
    In other scenes
    
    Where I found my eyes
    This loving it took me
    Somedays I walk into my
    
    The sun makes the rain
    
    A little cold to see clear
    A little cold to see clear
    Cold to see clear
    A little cold to see clear
    A little cold to see clear
    
    Whatever I do the airways they took me the radio radio makes me
    What else can I do but dream
    What can we do but listen to stories wretched or glorious
    As if me and you
    In other scenes
    
    Where I found my eyes
    This loving it took me
    Somedays I walk into my
    The sun makes the rain
    
    I don't mind if its raining
    I don't mind if its hard
    I don't mind what you're thinking
    I don't mind if you're not
  2. Believe You're Mine

    Lyrics: Believe You're Mine

    When I see your stripes
    They're all I've wanted
    You visit me every night
    My dreams are haunted
    Maybe we live too close
    And we need a river between
    You can't tell the letter's gold but
    You don't seem to shiver
    
    Friends say it will let go
    If I give it time
    But this oven is burning coal
    I got a big supply
    I always feel this fool
    And believe you're mine
    One day, I'll love somebody else
    One day, I'll take care of myself
    
    When I'm upside mind
    I know I can't have you
    But that means that half the time
    I only think that it's half true
    When you wrote goodbye
    You said that was it for you
    But you see the thing that you don't get
    Is every time you ride it's like you're starting something new
    
    One day, I'll love somebody else
    One day, I'll take care of myself
    
    Every time my phone rings
    Every time something comes in
    I pretend, I believe that it's you
    There's something that I have to you
    Listen to our hearts, mind says I don't know
    
    Friends say it will let go
    If I give it time
    But this oven is burning coal
    I got a big supply
    I always feel this fool
    And believe you're mine
    One day, I'll love somebody else
    One day, I'll be good to myself
    Do you know I believe you're mine
    Didn't you know? I believe you're mine
    Did you not know me?
    One day, I'll love somebody else
    I was day believer
    One day, I'll love somebody else
    I was day believer
    I believe, I believe
    I believe, I believe
    Did you not know me?
    I was day believer
  3. Friend Hospital

    Lyrics: Friend Hospital

    We are travelling daily by the hour
    Moods clouding mountains ideas like towers
    Choosing sides, digging in, then changing
    Hearts and minds are chafing from all the rearranging
    So much better that we're not together
    Cause I will not lose you
    Or be the blues to you
    Friend hospital
    
    Wild sadness knew weakness
    
    I wish the sun would come through the walls
    And find you where ever when you call
    Give you the time and the will that you want
    When you finally learn you can't always get what you haul
    So much better that we're not together
    Cause I will not lose you
    Or be the blues to you
    Friend hospital
    
    Wild sadness knew weakness
    Wild sadness knew weakness
    
    Awkward limo, fantastic cemetary
    Reading from a list of your greatest hits
    You're dropping them all the time
    It's like landing on my favorite planet
    When you're crackling through the line
    So glad you called
    Sharp advice saves my life
    So much better that we're not together
    Cause I will not lose you
    Or be the blues to you
    Friend hospital
    
    Wild sadness knew weakness
    Wild sadness knew weakness
    Wild sadness knew weakness
    Wild sadness knew weakness
  4. New Bird

    Lyrics: New Bird

    There's a new bird at my window
    It wasn't there before
    The other one's not singing anymore
    
    Scores of demons have been fading
    Slowly through the night
    They melt into the walls and out of sight
    
    Oh my family split in two
    When my dad after the war
    Said he didn't worship with his parents anymore
    
    He kept flying back from school
    Still trying to be a decent son
    But when he knocked on their front door
    They wouldn't come
    
    All the rules you hold to
    They're only there to numb you
    So you don't ask a question when you feel
    If every non-believer is a non-receiver
    There's a reason right there
    To raise your hand
    
    Fifty years later and we met them
    Though I wish them well
    It's strange they think I'm going straight to hell
    
    There's a new bird at my window
    It wasn't there before
    The other one's not singing anymore
  5. Out of the Dark

    Lyrics: Out of the Dark

    Nothing happens for a reason
    Nothing was meant to be
    It's the way we explain all the seasons
    From the summer to the dying leaves
    
    No one knows how the story goes
    Everybody looks ahead
    Fate doesn't mean there's nothing you can do
    There's a reason to get out of bed
    
    You don't have to run around a park
    You don't have to be some kind of hero
    But it'd be good to get out of the dark
    And get yourself around some other people
    
    Not everyone can make New York feel new
    Or wipe away a past that brings you sadness
    But you'd be surprised by what moving can do
    I've heard that work can tamp down madness
    
    You don't have to run around a park
    You don't have to be some kind of hero
    But it'd be good to get out of the dark
    And get yourself around some other people
    
    You don't have to run around a park
    You don't have to be some kind of hero
    But it'd be good to get out of the dark
    And get yourself around some other people
  6. Rushing

    Lyrics: Rushing

    I shut down
    I don't know why
    Thought I didn't need
    Another star in the sky
    
    I closed off
    Thought I didn't have rules
    For the risk it will take
    What I thought I could lose
    
    You come rushing at me
    And I forget my body
    You come rushing at me
    And I forget my body
    You come rushing at me
    And I forget my worries
    
    Human river
    I watched it go by
    I set on the banks
    Solitary and dry
    
    I replayed
    The films in my life
    Thought I'd come to the end
    I told myself it was fine
    
    And you, you let me in and
    I, I let you in and
    We, we are transported and
    
    You, you let me in and
    I, I let you in and
    We, are elevated
    
    Finally I got it
    
    You come rushing at me
    And I forget my body
    You come rushing at me
    And I forget my body
    You come rushing at me
    And I forget my worries
    
    I haven't landed
    Since I don't know when
    And now I feel like
    I can breathe again
    I see the street lights
    Land on your skin
    Land on your skin
    
    You come rushing at me
    And I forget my body
    You come rushing at me
    And I forget my body
    You come rushing at me
    And I forget my worries
    I haven't landed
    Since I don't know when
    And now I feel like
    I can breathe again
  7. Animal

    Lyrics: Animal

    Well I used to get high
    And dance all around the house
    Cleaning rearranging
    While I'd let it all out
    
    Those happy times I'd say to myself
    This is it don't stop
    All will be well
    If you only never stop the clock
    
    Gotta learn to cut losses
    And recognise new truths
    Or you'll never get anywhere that is of any use
    
    Sometimes you can't see the sea
    Even from the boat
    So whatever hints you get
    You better hurry and take note
    
    I'm here because I knew that this time I'd be haunted
    Visited by peaceful ghosts who knew what I really wanted
    Here's hoping I could be you and I make a toast
    
    I'm here because they call it foreign
    And I felt so slow but I heard you calling
    Now you're gone and you're all I want
    
    I forgot that's what people do
    They pair off two by two
    Until one of them turns blue
    
    Don't have much practice in really needing someone
    So I need you to show me how it can be sensibly done
    'Cause I need you like a string needs a kite to get to the sky
    
    I look for the sound of the wind to put in my headphones
    To help these walls dissolve take me to another zone
    'Cause I'm an animal and I have one life
    You're an animal and you have one life
    
    Do do do do do do do
    Do do do do do do
    Do do do do do
    Do do
  8. You Know Who You Are

    Lyrics: You Know Who You Are

    You know, you know the feeling
    It starts with just a little tingling
    Something's not right
    Something don't fit
    You gotta change something
    Look for it
    
    You know who you are
    (Maybe you used to)
    You know what to do
    (Or you will)
    No amount of advice
    (If well-intended)
    Can really change you
    
    Maybe you had dreams thrust upon you
    Wagers with strangers on the tennis court
    (Hey play my son for 10G)
    You want to quit your job in four weeks
    Convert your van's inside to all teak
    
    If you took a wrong turn
    There's still road to burn
    Maybe no harm done
    You'll get another run
    
    If you feel too hard
    Everywhere's off guard
    There's no space
    In the square at night
    Earplugs pushed in tight
    I'm no place
    
    You know who you are
    (Maybe you used to)
    You know what to do
    (Or you will)
    No amount of advice
    (If well-intended)
    Can really change you
  9. Gold Sounds

    Lyrics: Gold Sounds

    Stay up
    Children of the world
    Theirs no strenghs
    In hiding
    That's what they do
    They never showed
    They always found somebody
    Who payed their bill
    
    Stay up
    Show your face
    Say that you know
    Have mercy
    Show that their is no war in love
    Love is only love
    And never hurt

    It hate
    
    Love is the motor of life
    Who shall that motor hurt?
    
    Have mercy
    Show up
    Be strong
    Show you face
    Show them that you children know
    That you know
    That your parents are able to sell even
    Their children
    And rape the young girls
    With their bloody money in hand
    
    Show up
    Be strong
    No war
    All mercy
    
    Theirs an example
    Look to east germany
    
    They showed up
    Trusted their brothers and sisters from the
    That came over to steal their country
    The brothers and sisters the trusted them
    Stole that country
    That become free without one
    Bullet
    
    Just silent showing
    That they don't agree
    That they know about all crime
    And that they will have mercy
    
    Show them your love
    I know you children have that
    
    I know
    Show up
    Show them your love
    If they touch one of you
    They proof that I'm right
    They proof ho they are

    Don't hide
    They are and were always cowerds
    I know and you too
    Show love
    Show love
    Have mercy
  10. Victory's Yours

    Lyrics: Victory's Yours

    I can redo
    And I'll do it without you
    I can rebuild
    I can make something real
    
    Some days just won't start
    I wake up and it falls apart
    Spend my time trying to figure you out but
    I never get very far
    I think I'm walking out of this fight
    There's a spark and it's just within my sight
    A little light means everything to a
    Halfbeliever like me who can
    Hardly see what's in front of him
    
    Victory's yours, the fighting is done
    The battle's won, now I'm gone
    
    I'm not the confrontational type
    So you bear down with all your might
    I really hope that you're having fun because
    This is such a great waste of what
    Surely could be great days
    But they're all burned up
    In the name of I don't know what
    
    I can redo
    And I'll do it without you
    I can rebuild
    I can flatten that hill
    I can redo
    And I'll do it without you
    
    I'll sell my car and my bike
    I'll pack my samsonite
    Use frequent flyer miles I was saving
    Get back to feeling right
    Take to the sky
    
    Victory's yours, the fighting is done
    The battle's won, now I'm gone
    I wish you peace
    Now I'm gone
    I wish you peace
    Now I'm gone
    I wish you peace
    I wish you peace

Never Not Together (2020)

  1. So Much Love

    Lyrics: So Much Love

    Any day, any hour, and I'm feeling fine
    The weight of the world must have read my mind
    I can't find the thread and I cannot glide
    I need a tow up to clear blue sky
    Out of thin air, there's an inner smile
    Reminds me to search for a secret dial
    It's always in reach, hiding in plain sight
    I always forget, but it's always right
    
    So much love
    In the air
    So much love
    It's always there
    How much love trapped inside?
    So much love
    Show it some light
    
    The world is all flavours all the time
    The Dark Ages had the same sunny sky
    In the summer of love, we were at war
    We have all these feelings, don't know what for
    It's not easy to choose, but it can be done
    You're never alone, not the only one
    Just try to be good and be less fake
    But not beat myself up when I make mistakes
    
    So much love
    I can feel
    So much love
    It must be real
    How much love?
    I can't say
    Just know I need to get out of its way
    
    So much love
    For your friends
    When you feel off
    Feel good then
    So much love
    In your dreams
    So much love in the days in between
    Feel that love
    It must be true
    So much love, it's what we do
    
    Any day, any hour and I'm feeling fine
    The weight of the world must have read my mind
    
    So much love
    In the air
    So much love
    It's always there
    How much love?
    I can't say
    Just know I need to get out of its way
    
    I'll fight to stay open
    I'll fight to stay wild
    I'll seek better nature
    I'll find it like a child
    How much love do you need?
    If you look hard, it's all you see
    How much love do you want?
    It won't let you down
    It's never gone
    
    So much love
    I can feel
    So much love
    It must be real
    How much love trapped inside?
    So much love
    Show it some light
  2. Come Get Me

    Lyrics: Come Get Me

    Takin' the subway stairs down
    One at a time
    There's a crowd at the turnstile
    So I'm waiting in line
    Everything's solid
    It was drilled out of stone
    Under the city
    We're all riding along
    
    I'm in no hurry
    I want this trip to last
    If I start really thinking (Ooh)
    My heart'll start beating fast
    The days, they are shrinkin'
    The horizon is near
    I know I want someone
    But there's nobody here
    
    Always hesitated
    Afraid of getting it wrong
    There was no love in our home
    And it went on so long
    I'm gettin' tired
    Of holdin' this stance
    Forgettin' how to love (Ooh)
    Forgettin' how to dance
    
    I don't feel grown up
    Maybe nobody did
    I was always on my guard
    Since I was a kid
    
    But I'm so, so ready
    Come get me
    Come get me
    Come get me, please
    
    Come get me
    Come get me, please
    Come get me
    Come get me, please
    
    I'm ready
    I'm ready
    I'm ready
    I'm ready
    Please
    I'm ready
    I'm ready
    I'm ready
    Come find me, remind me
    I'm ready
    Come find me, remind me
  3. Live Learn and Forget

    Lyrics: Live Learn and Forget

    I used to sing about love
    Falling in and falling out
    I'd see it up above
    A dream people talked about
    And now I think about will
    Getting out of my own way
    Pushing it up a hill
    Do a little every day
    Live and learn and forget
    Live and learn again
    Live and learn and forget again
    Live and learn again
    Live and learn and forget
    Live and learn again
    Live and learn and forget again
    Live and learn again
    And there's a world outside
    Cigarettes you never smoke
    And kinds of car you never drive
    Movies and actors you don't know
    So put your anger away
    You're in no danger of dying out
    And you don't need to be right
    It's overrated anyhow
    Live and learn and forget
    Live and learn again
    Live and learn and forget again
    Live and learn again
    It's always what you do next
    That's where the ship is steered
    When your black cloud is gone to bed
    Under a blanket of your tears
    I want to settle my debts
    But can't make right with everyone
    Some wrongs are too far gone
    And life is not a library
    With its forgiveness of fees
    And scheduled day of amnesty
    It's always what you do next
    There's always another track
    Every age you've ever been
    We carry on our backs
    Live and learn and forget
    Live and learn again
    Live and learn and forget again
    Live and learn again
  4. Just Wait

    Lyrics: Just Wait

    Millions of souls
    They're young and they're old
    I'm here with you
    We've got something to lose
    Slow down and see where it goes
    
    So when it feels too big
    And you can't find your place
    You've got too many choices
    Are you the only one
    Who doesn't know their way?
    There're so many noises
    (Ooh) You're gonna be just fine
    (Ooh) It might take some time
    But you gotta know it's gonna be okay
    Just wait
    Just wait
    
    We're hollow and stressed
    The worst and the best
    They say you get just one try
    But that's just a lie
    It's a long life
    And time doesn't fly
    
    When it feels too big
    And you can't find your place
    You've got too many choices
    Are you the only one
    Who doesn't know their way?
    There're so many noises
    (Ooh) You're gonna be just fine
    (Ooh) It might take some time
    But you gotta know it's gonna be okay
    Just wait
    Just wait
    
    Love and work and where you live
    And what you take and what you give
    Love and work and where you live
    And what you take and what you give
    
    When it feels too big
    And you can't find your place
    You've got too many choices
    Are you the only one
    Who doesn't know their way?
    There're so many noises
    (Ooh) You're gonna be just fine
    (Ooh) It might take some time
    But you gotta know it's gonna be okay
    Just wait
    Just wait
    
    (Ooh)
    (Ooh)
    Millions of souls
    They're young and they're old
    I'm here with you
    We've got something to lose
    Slow down and see where it goes
  5. Something I Should Do

    Lyrics: Something I Should Do

    My headphones are playing a duet
    With a fire engine
    I walk through the cloud of an ex
    And I feel no tension
    All the buildings are blocking the wind
    Of late October
    'Round the corner, it shoots out again
    And I'm starting over
    
    Dance, dance
    Dance, dance around the door
    Dance, dance
    Dance, dance around the door
    
    Hold still
    Limit what you see
    Be free for a while
    Lie in your room like you're lying on a hill
    There's a mountain on your window sill
    There is help for raw souls
    A language for the shy
    You don't have to say hello
    But look them in the eye
    
    Two things, a great fog of stuff, engrossing, fleeting, bewildering
    And then, a feeling of tilt that we're rushing down a slope
    Do we not see it all the time because we're sliding at the same speed?
    A sense of safety preserved by the static distance between us
    Sometimes I try to imagine a village hundred of years ago
    Where little changes during a lifetime
    Maybe the cobbler tries a new heel on a boot, crops are rotated
    But nothing changes how people are
    What they spend their time doing or thinking about
    The world is dying, the world is living
    
    There's something that I should do
    But I never know how
    Things I should say to you
    But it's total whiteout
    In the night reading actual air
    Always reforming
    Imagine that I'll be somewhere new
    In the morning
    
    I was asked to write a song about social media
    And I didn't want to, anyway I'm pretty hooked
    So don't feel I'm in much of a position to critique it
    And self-critique is loaded for me anyway
    Because I've done plenty of that
    And while I know that people can identify with it
    And get comfort from hearing someone else
    Address themselves sternly
    I'm also trying to get away from self-regard in general
    Even though "the unexamined life is not worth living"
    More opposing truths, they're everywhere
    Still training to to hold them
    I'm trying to look out
    Leave the mirror out of it
    See the tree and contemplate it
    And not question who or what I am in a relation to the tree
    But I don't know what it means yet
    That we are partially migrating into a silent conversation
    That seems to be increasing unity and tribalism at once
    And maybe the two are racing now without a finish line
    I was going to say that likely few got good thinking
    Done during the seventeenth century Dutch tulip craze
    And this is not so different
    But I've recently been heartened and disappointed to learn
    That story was greatly exaggerated
    Anyway we're crazy but also we're not crazy
    We're complicated
    We want things to be simple
    And we polarize into camps and we harden and entrench
    And distort and amplify and shut down and entrench some more
    Now you don't have to join a drum circle
    And get all peace and love and Haight-Ashbury
    And anyway that took
    Only a few months to turn into a bad scene, hard drug, dystopia
    Where some people will rob you
    And you can't be too open but the Hippies sure had a point
    Empathy is good, lack of empathy is bad
    And now the lines of non-facts waiting to get in the conversation
    Are longer and longer
    And some people can't be beat in an argument
    We have to hold to that hippie point harder
    Empathy is good, lack of empathy is bad
    Holy math says we're never not together
  6. Looking for You

    Lyrics: Looking for You

    In the middle of a sleepless night
    It sneaks in through my window
    It takes its time, it stays nearby
    'Til I get down to zero
    And when I get so tired that I'm ready for a drink
    I almost go downstairs
    Where there's a bottle waiting for me
    If I find my way there
    Here's where it speaks
    Asking me to freeze
    Whistling diamond days
    Telling me my dreams
    
    In the middle of a sleepless night
    It sneaks in through my window
    It takes its time, it stays nearby
    'Til I get down to zero
    When I get so tired that I'm ready for a drink
    I almost go downstairs
    Where there's a bottle waiting for me
    If I find my way there
    Here's where it speaks
    Asking me to freeze
    Whistling diamond days
    Telling me my dreams
    
    And I'm looking for that higher vibration
    It's fading, but I'll tell you what I know
    I believe it will unlock every station
    I believe it will untie every rope
    
    A doctor asked me to describe
    What I thought was my mission
    I tried to think of something deep
    It seemed beyond description
    He said, "It's right in front of you
    It's only to be well
    To take the days just as they come
    And try to ring some bells"
    
    And I'm ready for a higher vibration
    It's faint, but I'll tell you what I know
    I believe it will unlock every station
    I believe it will untie every rope
    It loves you and it's headed for your window
    It loves you and it's coming to your home
    
    What you're looking for's looking for you, too
    What you're looking for's looking for you, too
    What you're looking for's looking for you, too (Don't move)
    What you're looking for's looking for you, too (Don't move)
    (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
    (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
    (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
    (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
    
    There's no tiger in the room
    There is no one lunging at you
    But everything is trying to talk to you
    And who you are becoming
    
    What you're looking for's looking for you, too
    What you're looking for's looking for you, too
    What you're looking for's looking for you, too (Don't move)
    What you're looking for's looking for you, too (Don't move)
    (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
    (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
    (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
    (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
    
    (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
    (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
  7. Crowded Star

    Lyrics: Crowded Star

    I'm just trying to be
    Do you know what I mean?
    Every day is a teacher
    Waiting to be seen
    Now and then I forget
    Something I need to know
    Then I get it back
    It comes and it goes
    
    I was on my own
    On a crowded star
    Seeing people's forms
    But not how they are
    
    I was ready for a change before you came
    I was looking for a way to not stay the same
    
    It's like treasure now
    Every day by your light
    Don't know where it comes from
    In the ground or the sky?
    Don't believe any reasons
    'Bout why we arrived
    Just here for a while
    Our part of time
    
    There will be new lows
    And new highs of suns
    The same infinity
    Around everyone
    
    I was ready for a change before you came
    I was ready for a place out of the rain
    I was ready for a change before you came
    I was looking for a way to not stay the same
    
    Coming in to land
    I had more than one chance
    I can't believe my luck
    I love how you dance
    
    I was ready for a change before you came
    I was ready for a place out of the rain
    I was ready for a change before you came
    I was looking for a way to not stay the same
    
    Coming in to land
    I had more than one chance
    Can't believe my luck
    I love how you dance
  8. Mathilda

    Lyrics: Mathilda

    They used to call me Mathilda
    My mama kept my hair long
    I was more pretty than handsome
    And I was not very strong
    My voice was kinda high, not a typical guy
    
    They used to call me Mathilda
    I was never sure why
    I felt bad about it
    But I didn't get mad
    I got sad about it
    But I was all that I had
    
    Where's this order coming from?
    Do you hear it like a drum?
    From back in time
    Do you feel like who you are?
    Are you driven from afar?
    Along for the ride
    There's a manner in your town
    There's no way to turn it 'round
    Why even try?
    
    Just kids, we have our tests
    Look at your nails, is your palm out?
    If you hold your hands, unlike a man
    It's not allowed
    We start out young, it's too much fun
    To laugh out loud
    We think we're free, but we don't see
    Our heads are bowed
    Our heads are bowed
    
    Read somewhere that women will
    Worry most 'bout being killed
    When with a new guy
    Men on dates, they ridicule
    It's this thing they knew at school
    And it still applies
    
    Sometimes nothing is better
    Than anything made of words and letters
    And looks and gestures, blank is clean
    Blank is a peaceful, empty scene
    In your private self, you make some room
    And have some space
    You wake your loves up one by one
    And make them safe
    And make them safe
    
    Who knows how many in a room
    Feel the odd one out, who the joke's about?
    Black feeling, that loneliness
    Hangs over like a curse
    Over like the first
    Where's this order coming from?
    Do you hear it like a drum?
    From back in time
    
    Though it's all around, I still wonder
    Why we can't move on
    And we still bear arms
    And we still make fun out of anyone
    
    Picture a workside bar
    Of clock-out drinking
    And then go inside
    Do you feel that vibe?
    Something makes me think
    Someone wants to fight
    There's a drive to quell
    What we hate in ourselves
    
    If it's in the Bible, then you know it's old
    And if it's in nature, then it's been foretold
    That a slice of our numbers
    Will feel this way
    It's not something we discuss
    Between guys who are straight
    
    And then I looked up
    "Was Fred Phelps gay?"
    But I found no answers
    So then who's to say?
    But only self-hatred could explain his rage
    There's a special Hell that we build for ourselves
    And it's handed down in homes and playgrounds
  9. Ride in the Unknown

    Lyrics: Ride in the Unknown

    I was away, I don't know where
    It was a daily state
    I drew a map but it expired
    I'd find a car with open doors and take a ride
    I took a nap, there was no driver
    I'd find a thing that I could take
    That would do the trick
    After a while I got no higher
    
    Ride in the unknown
    Survive and never grow
    Sliding alone
    Why is never known
    
    There is no getting away in a haunted house
    When every window is a mirror
    Can't recognise the people who I used to be
    Alone at night in my private theatre
    But we all play a little bit with mythology
    I don't know if it makes things clearer
    
    Hiding from myself
    Alone, no one to tell
    Pay rent to have this shell
    Pay rent to have this cell
    
    In a blue moon
    I could sing the blues to sleep
    While they were out
    I'd have a good week
    
    Ride in the unknown
    Survive and never grow
    Sliding alone
    Why is never known
    
    I never knew
    I never knew who I wanted to be
    I never knew
    I never knew who I wanted to be
    
    The good and bad news will still be there
    But don't think about that now
    Lift your anchor and set your sail
    Now the lights are all turned out
    Find your peace and find some sleep
    I'll be your lookout
    When it's my turn, you'll be there for me
    And you'll quiet all my doubt
    
    Ride in the unknown (The good and bad news will still be there)
    Survive and never grow (But don't think about that now)
    Sliding alone (Lift your anchor and set your sail)
    Why is never known (Now the lights are all turned out)
    
    Ride in the unknown (Find your peace and find some sleep)
    Survive and never grow (I'll be your lookout)
    Sliding alone (When it's my turn, you'll be that for me)
    Why is never known (And you'll quiet all my doubt)
    
    Ride in the unknown (The good and bad news will still be there)
    Survive and never grow (But don't think about that now)
    Sliding alone (Lift your anchor and set your sail)
    Why is never known (Now the lights are all turned out)

  2. In Front of Me Now

    Lyrics: In Front of Me Now

    I used to be dreaming when I was driving
    I used to be leaving when I was arriving
    I used to be calling when I was walking
    I used to be thinking when I was talking
    
    I used to be counting when I was sharing
    I used to be blanking when I was staring
    I used to be rolling when I was parking
    I used to be raining when I was sparking
    
    Today, I do what's in front of me now
    Today, I do what's in front of me now
    
    I used to be stopping while I trying
    I used to be landing before I was flying
    I used to be haunting not just remembering
    In the middle of summer, I was decembring
    
    Always re-writing what I was reading
    But also doubting what I was conceiving
    I used to be dropping when I was collecting
    I could have been building but I was dissecting
    
    Today, I do what's in front of me now
    Today, I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
    I do what's in front of me now
    
    I used to be missing when I was kissing
    Why wasn't I present? I could have been living
    I used to be dodging when I was catching
    I used to be dying, I could have been hatching
    
    I used to be drowning when I was drinking
    I was only masking, I could have been feeling
    You used to surround me whenever you found me
    I could have learned more from the friends I had 'round me
    
    I used to be falling when I was leaning
    Catastrophe courting, I could have been dreaming
    I was careening, looking for meaning
    Wish I was relaxing, I could have been breathing
    
    Today, I do what's in front of me now
    Today, I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
    
    Oh there's too many lanes
    There's too much to see in the frame at once
    There's too much to contain
    Oh there's too much terrain
    I can never explain it all
    It's too much for my brain
    I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
    
    I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me
    I do what's in front of me now

    Lyrics: Moon Mirror

    Show me a partner
    Make me an engine
    A part of something somewhere
    Moon mirror
    Highways of hope
    Moon mirror
    
    Show me a life that I'm living
    Connect me to something
    That's just beginning
    Across a mountain
    Across an ocean

    I'm here in a field
    I'm here in a window
    In a car
    In a highway's whipping wind
    
    Show me a partner

    Make me a part of something somewhere

    I'm here in a fiеld
    I'm here in a window
    
    Therе's an infinity maypole
    Of innumerable strands
    Reaching up through space from
    All these human hands
    There's an infinity maypole
    Billions of arcing lines
    Searching up through space from
    All these human eyes
    
    I'm trying to see something in you
    I'm trying to give
    
    Moon mirror
    Highways of hope
    Moon mirror
    Memory ghosts
    Everyone's best friend
    We're all trying to give
    All our best friend
    Make me again
    Show me a partner
    Come down
    Help me make it clearer
    I've been waiting for you moon mirror

  5. Intel and Dreams

    Lyrics: Intel and Dreams

    Good chord, bad chord
    Good chord, bad chord
    
    Oh, I like the lightness of being on my own
    I like the quiet and walking 'round my home
    With no other body there and no fabric you can tear
    It can almost be like floating in
    A gravity-free zone
    
    Good chord, bad chord
    Good chord, bad chord
    
    As my eyes scan round the world I can follow any thread
    Any curiosity and see just where it led
    Everything's so natural
    There's no awkward push and pull
    Deep down I'm so much more comfortable
    Inside my head
    
    But oh, 81 times a day I turn and see
    Nothing but empty air there
    And even the best days
    They feel half-wasted
    
    I grew up with an older sister and
    Even through some sparring we were a team
    And we shared intel and dreams
    Oh, we shared intel and dreams
  6. The One You Want

    Lyrics: The One You Want

    I'm always changing, you're getting burned
    What kind of me has the next turn?
    I don't want to lose you but I don't want to win
    Can we start over and try again?
    
    'Cause I want the one you want
    I want the one I want
    I want the one you want me to be
    I want the one you want
    I want the one I want
    I want the one you want yourself to be
    
    Days of desire, days of almost
    Days when I vanish like a ghost
    I want to be worth it, the trouble I bring
    Never wanted to break a thing
    
    I want the one you want
    I want the one I want
    I want the one you want me to be
    I want the one you want
    I want the one I want
    I want the one you want yourself to be
    
    The wind is the right hand, the piano's a tree
    I want to hear that for eternity
    I don't want to lose you but I don't want to win
    Can we start over and try again?
    
    'Cause I want the one you want
    I want the one I want
    I want the one you want me to be
    I want the one you want
    I want the one I want
    I want the one you want yourself to be
    
    There's a voice inside
    Trying to give me a warning
    That you are worth it all
    And you won't always call
    Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
    Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
    Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
    
    I want the one you want
    I want the one I want
    I want the one you want me to be
    I want the one you want
    I want the one I want
    I want the one you want yourself to be
    To be, to be
