Sleep/Sunrise look I don't mean to say it's bad cause I don't think these things can change, and so don't you and as there's nothing we can do it's doing nothing we got good at listen to all these people talk frenzied wild eyes, nose dipped in chalk they found some truth and went and stuck it on repeat into some new age half sense loop I'm with the girl that is too high to tell me her name or ask for mine so I try to do without the talking but get so tired, tired, tired and still can't get myself to sleep you felt that need to pile us all our smiles on call inside a tiny photo booth like you saw all these tourists do guess you grew tired of playing it cool and then we're dancing in the smoke making up lyrics to "nothing compares to you" before we head for one last drink and someone to compare nothing to I'm with the girl that is too high to tell me her name or ask for mine so I try to do without the talking but get so tired, tired, tired and still can't get myself to sleep now I'm trudging in the sidewalks guess I've tired of Berlin's talk if there is no bad there is no hope but if I'm dying, I don't expect any of you to know my name we can be in love if we choose to that glitter on your cheek's looking good though you cannot make that count on a Tuesday when the weekend seems so far and your friends forget to call you you're still the one I think of when it's sunday and the thoughts of death come screeching down my hallway but forever's bad advice and i know better so i go and take a walk to make sure that I won't call you oh guess now I'm growing old guess now we're growing old I'm with the girl that is too high to tell me her name or ask for mine so I try to do without the talking but get so tired, tired, tired and still can't get myself to sleep now I'm trudging in the sidewalks guess I've tired of Berlin's talk if there is no bad there is no hope but if I'm dying, I don't expect any of you to know my name

Shape It Out remember those times we used to say that nothing ever goes our way guess nothing ever went our way let go of your days of atheist prayers cause something has just come our way look something has just come our way our legs they seem to cast a spell let's shake it out let's shake it out I've never felt as much myself let's shape this out let's shape this out now there is hope trapped in your eyes and you can't help but smile I just can't help my smile amidst the lights we found a place to hide it keeps us warm and bright i'll keep you by my side our legs they seem to cast a spell let's shake it out let's shake it out I've never felt as much myself let's shape this out let's shape this out you held a snowflake in your hand burning so warm and bright went set your world on fire and all the people, streets and buildings not what they used to be not what you're used to being being our legs they seem to cast a spell let's shake it out let's shake it out I've never felt as much myself let's shape this out let's shape this out

brutus you used to be happy, when I, I was sad but now something has changed, you say this world it's ours to take Our new found union, and all the shores we find we split in half cause this world, it's ours oh this world, it's ours this world, it's ours oh this world, it's ours you used to be worried, when I, I cried said there was something in my system, that just was not right just like two wheels that never clicked a borrowed suit, it wouldn't fit forget these times anyhow cause mickey mouse she's grown up a cow and this world, it's ours oh this world, it's ours this world, it's ours oh this world, it's ours you can tell a friend by the pinch of his knife in your back and brutus if one day I must go I hope it will be by your hand cause this world, it's ours yes this world, it's ours this world, it's ours yes this world, it's ours

The Darkest Blanket 03:36
lyrics

the darkest blanket Walking backwards from the sunset nervous trying to draw my breath back some things you said, they'll never change and then I came and seized you by your words times I've known you, your flesh on my flesh drowned in our buzzing, breathless breath eclipsing headlights, the sirens singing what was that thing I tried to get right? soon you'll take me back blood-filled faces, fists on tables they pile the questions, brick on brick the pale white walls, they're closing in the darkest blanket wraps around my skin knew your shadow, like a tattoo on my mind, always stuck in sight you took my breath, my will you trapped mind now i came and took it back soon you'll take me back

about

We encounter ourselves in others all the time
and if we get disappointed
it is really ourselves we are disappointed with
