The Void
03:59
|
|||
Follow the river down
into a sea of sound
We could have been two suns
sending out waves like drums
everything we become
space
and shooting stars
time
is all we are
put your pain aside and dive across
there's nothing to fear here fear is loss
don't give me no give me no say
just send me out give me away
peel back the hardened ground
follow the layers down
we could have been two eyes
animals tell no lies
everything good must...
put your pain aside and dive across
there's nothing to fear here fear is loss
don't give me no give me no say
just send me out give me away
don't give me no give me no choice
just send me out into the void
put your pain aside and dive across
there's nothing to fear here fear is loss
don't give me no give me no say
just send me out give me away
don't give me no give me no choice
just send me out into the void
just send me out
just just send me out
don't give me no give me no say
just send me out give me away
don't give me no give me no choice
just send me out into the void

Hole in the Universe
03:52
|
|||
i see the colors
they swirl around you
i set a network of stars in your eyes
i'm going back to the place where i found you
i'm gonna make a hole in the universe
so i can be with you here on earth
when the sun comes up i will go
oh, ah
it's like a tunnel
or a hidden wire
even our bodies are made up of waves
i'm going back to the place where i found
i'm gonna make a hole in the universe
so i can be with you here on earth
when the sun comes up i will go
oh, ah
when the light in your closet shines
just reach your hand in and feel for mine
when the sun comes up i will go
i don't like to sleep without you
i don't like to breathe without you
every atom will ricochet and spell your name
i fall on my knees without you
i fall on my knees
i'm gonna make a hole in the universe
so i can be with you here on earth
i'm gonna make a hole in the universe
so i can be with you here on earth
when the sun comes up i will go
oh, ah
when the light in your closet shines
just reach your hand in and feel for mine
when the sun comes up i will go

Reeling
04:13
|
|||
sun rays
turning to stars in your hair
at warp speed i'm traveling
always pretending not to care
just another beautiful summer makes the
long days
longer when you're not there
when i stand up
i can stand up with you
then i fall to pieces
when i look into your eyes
i'm reeling
don't leave me hanging on
don't leave me hanging
how can i get to you
like a top spinning around
i just wanna fall down
rain drops
turning to stars on the ground
to nowhere i'm traveling
sidewalks
map out your states and your town
just another interstate trampled
but the whole world
is not enough when you're not around
when i stand up
i can stand up with you
then i fall to pieces
when i look into your eyes
i'm reeling
don't leave me hanging on
don't leave me hanging on
how can i get to you
like a top spinning around
i just wanna fall down
i wanna fall into your almond eyes
let me drown
i wanna fall but can i make you mind
are you coming around
are you coming around
are you coming around
to me
i look into your eyes
i'm reeling
don't leave me hanging on
don't leave me hanging on
how can i get to you
like a top spinning around
i just wanna fall down
i look into your eyes
i'm reeling
don't leave me hanging on
don't leave me hanging on
how can i get to you
like a top spinning around
i just wanna fall down
i look into your eyes
i'm reeling
don't leave me hanging on
don't leave me hanging on
how can i get to you
like a top spinning around
i just wanna fall down
like a top spinning around
i just wanna fall down

Kite
04:34
|
|||
for ten a.m.
i set my clock
crawl into bed
and wait for the day to stop
stop
sleeping alone
again tonight
i search for a trace of you here on this pillow-side
side
the beauty in the world can cut you
for every boy or girl that shut you down
a field the run the rain the bottle
a song was sung i open the throttle and fly
i am a kite
and the strong survive
to sail out on the wind
without a note
i cut the rope
this is not the end
the sun comes through
the window like
the gaze of god
sunny day sky
sky
a key appears
like a lightning night
i search for a trace of you here by this fireside
the beauty in the world can cut you
for every boy or girl that shut you down
a field the run the rain the bottle
a song was sung i open the throttle and fly
i am a kite
and the strong survive
to sail out on the wind
without a note
i cut the rope
this is not the end
it's 2:58 i'm still lying here awake
i can't close my eyes without seeing our fate
i thought i could decide
to shrug and be fine
but our love was licorice not totally sweet
sometimes delicious
then salt like the sea
i am a kite
and the strong survive
to sail out on the wind
i am a kite
and the strong survive
to sail out on the wind
without a note
i cut the rope
this is not the end
this is not the end
i am a kite
and the strong survive
to sail out on the wind
this is not

Orchid
02:55
|
|||
lonely orchid
I'm a sphinx and I can fly
Hovering around you
I'm lost until I found you my sprite
I was born will die to taste your taste
i will search for you all night
i'm far away but still alive
in the morning when you wake
you open up and radiate
river fantastic
search for geometric stones
nothing sacred is plastic
in your eyes i find a home
oh
i've changed my pattern
i've changed my pace
i will search for you all night
i'm far away but still alive
in the morning when you wake
you open up and radiate
i keep searching
i keep searching, babe
i keep pointing toward your light
lonely orchid
i'm a sphinx and i can fly
i will search for you all night
i'm far away but still alive
in the morning when you wake
you open up and radiate
i will search for you all night
i'm far away but still alive
in the morning when you wake
you open up and radiate

Middletown
03:25
|
|||
i'm on the road i'm going nowhere
there's nothing else that i can do
we light a fire for the girl with red hair
and we walk like we're just passing through
we count the days in Middletown
is there a world we haven't found
the black sky won't keep us down
is there a world we haven't found
we're on the roof she's looking listless
the orange clouds are hanging low
she's in the mood
but will we resist
when the time is right i think you'll know
we count the days in Middletown
is there a world we haven't found
the black sky won't keep us down
is there a world we haven't found
there used to be a store here
a place where we could disappear
hard pack of camel cigarettes
our parents hadn't caught us yet
your dad would work a steel job
go to church and make a deal with god
a song would be our ticket out
we count the days in Middletown
is there a world we haven't found
the black sky won't keep us down
is there a world we haven't found
we count the days in Middletown
is there a world we haven't found
the black sky won't keep us down
is there a world we haven't found
we count the days in Middletown
is there a world we haven't found
is there a world we haven't found
we count the days in Middletown
is there a world in Middletown
we haven't found
we count the days in Middletown

Feather
03:54
|
|||
drop the bones and make your stand
if this means life
we pull an answer from the sand
and it's okay if you don't know what you'll become
if we have to fade
we'll fade out in the sun
just pull this string
unraveling kings
we sew our own wings
i trade my lines i trade my time
for cities made of steel
i try and dive while the sea's still alive
keep my head down and pull back on the shovel
new power in my hands
crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
to feed the future
all the goddesses of death are dead
one more time
we pull a feather from her head
like our fathers did we cut your heart away
to place it on the scale
and find out how you're made
string by string
unraveling kings
we sew our own wings
i trade my lines i trade my time
for cities made of steel
i try and dive while the sea's still alive
keep my head down and pull back on the shovel
new power in my hands
crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
to feed the future
beat an ancient drum
tombs and guns
unbury your keys
send the army in
i've got a strong wind
inside of me
i trade my lines i trade my time
for cities made of steel
i try and dive while the sea's still alive
keep my head down and pull back on the trigger
new power in my hands
i'm gonna crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
i trade my lines i trade my time
for cities made of steel
i try and dive while the sea's still alive
keep my head down and pull back on the shovel
new power in my hands
i'm gonna crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
yeah
i'm gonna crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
to feed the future

Believe Me
03:49
|
|||
I could be a sound wave
sailing slowly cross your lips
on the ocean of your breath
i could float like this
there's gonna be a lot of times
when the world just wants to fight you
i'd like to make it easier
but you've got to let me stand beside you
stand beside you
oh you, you're the only one for me
when you're leaning off the edge
and you don't know if you need me
i'm gonna love you more
i'm gonna make you see me
when you say you wanna fall
i'll set 'ya down easy
gonna wrap my arms around you
until i get you to believe me
to believe me
what do i have to do
to make you understand me
the more you let me love you
the better i am
oh you, you're the only one for me
when you're leaning off the edge
and you don't know if you need me
i'm gonna love you more
i'm gonna make you see me
when you say you wanna fall
i'll set 'ya down easy
gonna wrap my arms around you
until i get you to believe me
to believe me
you're the only one for me, for me
i won't give up on you babe
i won't give up on you now
i won't give up on you babe
i won't give up on you now
i won't give up on you
you, you're the only one for me
you, you're the only one for me
you, you're the only one for me
you, you're the only one for me
you're the only one

Climb
04:11
|
|||
i'm waiting in the dark
for eagles taking flight
the morning will be here soon
and we can reunite
i'm tired
i'm tired of trying
of trying
how high
how high must i climb
you can X-ray
my heart and my mind
if you find a secret keep it
every word was true
i'd tear my eyes out but there's
there's nothing good enough for you
how high
how high must i climb
legions that were sent
they crumbled at my feet
you're a factory of malcontent
and i'm a trophy you don't need
i'm tired
i'm tired of caring
of caring
how high
how high must i climb
you can X-ray
my heart and my mind
if you find a secret keep it
every word was true
i'd tear my eyes out but there's
there's nothing good enough for you
how high
how high must i climb
yeah
how high
how high must i climb
how high
how high must i climb
you can X-ray
my heart and my mind
if you find a secret keep it
every word was true
i'd tear my eyes out but there's
there's nothing good enough for you
how high
how high must i climb

Back to Life
04:13
|
|||
if we're not made of what we do
how can we be made real
this sandy shoreline
is no place to feel
memories and fingerprints
a spark is not a flame
get out your knife and make a better game
this much i know
we've come to far to fall
this much i find
inside you when i call
get back to life
get back to life
this place nearly tore you apart
you've lingered on
for far too long
bleeding from cellophane hearts
put the key in and make it run
don't break here before you've won
get back to life
get back to life
powerless and withering
branches become nerves
they wrap around you tightly
turning lines to curves
make any offer i can play
a sound is not a song
there's no stakes in living
unless you don't belong
this much i know
you're in too far to fall
this much i find
inside you when i call
get back to life
get back to life
this place nearly tore you apart
you've lingered on
for far too long
bleeding from cellophane hearts
put the key in and make it run
don't break here before you've won
get back to life
get back to life
get back to life
get back to life
this place nearly tore you apart
you've lingered on
for far too long
bleeding from cellophane hearts
put the key in and make it run
don't break here before you've won
get back to life
get back to life
bleeding from cellophane hearts
put the key in and make it run
this place nearly tore you apart
you've lingered on for far too long
bleeding from cellophane hearts
put the key in and make it run
don't break here before you've won
get back to life
get back to life
there's something to win tonight
get back to life
get back to life

Tarantula
04:51
|

tarantula
on a Texas playground
in your hand was gentle
Panama
the bright white sand and the ocean
we get so sentimental
ooh
ooh
ooh
ooh
golden frogs
we caught in the jungle's edges
just before extinction
we moved away
and we lived on air-force bases
saw the runway blinking
it grows in waves like sea foam
life was crammed in our heads
ooh
the stories we tell
ooh
like god cast a spell
ooh
on your magic life
ooh
and this is what it feels like
from 405
to 411
you see the sky
you see the sun
it's you and i
tarantula
on a Texas playground
what is transcendental
ooh
like god cast a spell
ooh
on your magic life
ooh
and this is what it feels like
ooh
like god cast a spell
ooh
on your magic life
ooh
and this is what it feels like
