April Dusk
03:35
|
|||
Curtains fall like brothers in a fight
Again, again, again, amend
Will I see you again?
In late April dusk, when lovers fall like flies
Again, again, again, amend
Will I see you gain
Through a trapdoor
Fading lights
Where no thoughts count
Eager hands they need to find
In a lap dance
Yearning eyes
No, no thoughts count
Eager hands they need to find

The Talented Miss K
04:24

I've given all I can
I tried to turn a better man
But then you moved me out
And now I'm falling, falling
Oh look I can’t stop falling
Backwards into time
And everything that once was light
You came and blew that out
And now I can't stop crying
My eyes they won’t stop crying
I know you never meant to make me cry,
Quite like this
So now I crawl back
Up Solsbury Hill
No though you never meant to make me cry,
You made me cry like this
So now I crawl back
Up Solsbury Hill
Now the newborn they're shedding tears
For every lie that you have told and I pray to no god
To take me further from here
Go take my mind far from me
Drinking in bars next to myself, staring the years down in their face
Guess I no longer care
Might as well keep on falling
Might as well fold all this in
Oh my mind
Shoot me into space
The sky is full of needles
Your new romance on display
And it's already hard enough
To see you in another's arms
I don't need us to be making friends
Oh my dear
Stuck in your stratosphere
The moon it hit my eye
We're in a rumbling drunken fight
My world it seized to shine
After I doused it all in wine
Now don't you tell me you'll never forget
The good times we had
I know you never meant to make me cry,
Quite like this
So now I crawl back
Up Solsbury Hill
No though you never meant to make me cry,
You made me cry like this
So now I crawl back
Up Solsbury Hill

Back to Nowhere
03:47
|
|||
I'd like to explain these things I see
I'd like to follow the way I feel
But then I go back
To nowhere
You asked for my hand was yours to keep
You shattered my plans so now I'm free
Just let me go back
To nowhere
Once there was a time
When you held that heart of mine
But then my dreams they roamed
Cold streets lit by streams of dawn
Once there was a time
When I held that heart of yours
But then our dreams they roamed
Our dreams they roamed
Violet bruised dreams and I'm soaked to the bone
Been walking for years just to return back home
Now let me go back
To nowhere
Throw your kiss hands
To a man with a plan
Cause by break of dawn
All traces of us they'll be gone
Once there was a time
When you held that heart of mine
But then my dreams they roamed
Cold streets lit by streams of dawn
Once there was a time
When I held that heart of yours
But then our dreams they roamed
Our dreams they roamed
Then our dreams, they roamed

A Story I Once Loved
03:50
|
|||
Through the good times and then the bad times
I hold your hand, I hope that you don't mind
Cause I promised to stay by your side
Long before
These pictures of us slowly tore down our walls
And the way that I laugh made you feel uncomfortable
Now I won't stop to talk but you want to go home
Will we learn to be
Dishonest as we see
That nothing stays the same
Will nothing stay the same?
Will we learn to feel
These things that we once felt
With someone else again
Just someone else again?
Remind me again why everything will end well
In that story that I once loved
And now I forgot how to tell
You were a stranger when I met you
And when you'll leave you'll be no friend
Is it just that time in between that we will share?
Will we learn to be
Dishonest as we see
That nothing stays the same
Will nothing stay the same?
Will we learn to feel
These things that we once felt
With someone else again
Just someone else again?

Stranger to a Stranger
05:38
|

Once you had a heart to burn
For what's love
And what this world has in store
For good people
Caught in a bad situation
At times our heads crushed by the rules
Nothing that's mine
Can also be yours
We're good people
But we can't hide our desperation, no
What's a lie stuck in a pile
Of insincerities, say what's it to me if your
World hangs by its feet
After all you're a stranger
Betrayed by another stranger
If you can't take the heat
Best leave your flame to me
The cold spreads under your sheets
You're turning volatile
And you don't know why you feel
Like good people
Caught in a bad situation
Words like torches stuck in your throat
Go set fire to who you once loved
They're good people
But now you're out for your own sake boy
What's a lie stuck in a pile
Of insincerities, say what's it to me if your
World hangs by its feet
After all you're a stranger
Betrayed by another stranger
If you can't take the heat
Best leave your flame to me

My Crew
04:03
|

You keep breaking glass
With the understatement of someone who believes, that nothing was meant to last
Keep the world right there at your feet
To tell it I told you so that
One day I’d tell you I told you so
Well
You keep saving your own skin
Until the creeping fear of being found out is the last thing it still holds within
How does it feel to always be right
Whilst doing everybody else wrong
But if you do me wrong one more time I swear
Oh I swear I
You, you wanna mess with my crew
Well I think that you might find that death it will suit you
You, you wanna fuck with my blood
And now I’m under the impression your throat it needs a cut
Reasonable debates
Mutual appreciations and details of your unfortunate childhood tales
Won’t keep my head from loosing this shit now
What if I really wanna do you wrong
Oh boy, I really wanna do you wrong now
You, you wanna mess with my crew
Well I think that you might find that death it will suit you
You, you wanna fuck with my blood
And now I’m under the impression your throat it needs a cut
Just take of your glasses boy
I wouldn’t want to destroy
Your eyesight or vital organs
Or things my insurance won’t cover
And in regards to your mother, please send my apologies
I didn’t mean to suggest she would engage in sex
With her only son
You, you wanna mess with my crew
Well I think that you might find that death it will suit you
You, you wanna fuck with my blood
And now I’m under the impression your throat it needs a cut

Gold
03:19

Oh this way has been so hard
I wouldn't mind if you lit up yourself
To show us out of the dark
Silver lining lights the sky
Guess it wouldn't mean much to someone
Who came to find
Gold
We're all made of gold
Let no one tell you different
No no no no no
Teenage boys, they lose their lives
In countries that you can't pronounce the name of
Just to show that you were right
Your atrocities, they’ve grown so rife
Go peel off all these layers of your skin
So everyone can see you shine
Gold
We're all made of gold
Let no one tell you different
No no no no no
Gold
We're all made of gold
From teeth to heart to soul to dead and sold
We’re all made of gold
What have you done to
Deserve your place in the sun
And when has someones misfortune
Turned into your fortune
Now don't you say that it's all, say that it's all
Been this way
Since the dawn of time
Gold
We're all made of gold
Let no one tell you different
No no no no no

What I Know That Kills
03:02

Porcelain Thoughts
On their way to the floor
Now I’m not coming back
From that space in my head
The world's full of love
Hard to cut yourself off
But I've seen what it does
Yeah, we all know what it does
Should have said no
Somehow came up with yes
And now I'm floating in space
Like Laika on a test
Oh, I’m not made for this
Don't ask me to resist
What I know, what I know that kills
What I know, what I know that kills
Oh, I’m not made for this
Don't ask me to resist
What I know, what I know that kills
What I know, what I know that kills
Thought you might say
That I'm loosing the plot
Guess what I'm not coming back
Hidden corners in my head
Knew you would say
That this world’s full of love
Hey, I’ve seen what it does
Don’t we all know what it does
Should have said so
But said so so instead
And now we're moving like grainy dots
Plotting simple fucking plots
Oh, I’m not made for this
Don't ask me to resist
What I know, what I know that kills
What I know, what I know that kills
Oh, I’m not made for this
Don't ask me to resist
What I know, what I know that kills
What I know, what I know that kills
Nevermind, nevermind, come unwind all these poison laced smiles
Then become someone new
Someone more like you
Nevermind, nevermind, don't you worry passing time
Cause time it will pass you
And will be through with you
Before you know you do
Before you knew you did

Thought I'd seen the truth
Once we were out of excuses for
Our heroes down and abused
While we're all man of the future now
We sit and gaze in a stare
As she almighty displays her mother's frown
No no she can't hold us down
We dance like apes in our fathers crown
I've seen the best disappear
In boxes treasured and memorized
In halls as long and as dark
As we had feared in our sleepless nights
You know deep down in your bones
You're still that boy I would kill for
These times they weigh in our shoes
We dance like apes in our father's crown
People got the world to blame
And you don't think that that will change do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to yes, then no to no
You blew the dust
Now keep that gold to you
It all to you
Well people thought the world could change
Now you don't think that that they're to blame do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to no, then no to yes
You blew the gold
Now keep that dust to you
It all to you
So we go shaking the hands
Until they make us to self made men
Our nights they wrestle the sun
Bleach our shadows in the deep white sands
And in the aisles of our downfall
I shrug the waltz that you asked for
Discourage all of your infantries
This won't be won by an army now
People got the world to blame
And you don't think that that will change do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to yes, then no to no
You blew the dust
Now keep that gold to you
It all to you
Well people thought the world could change
Now you don't think that that they're to blame do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to no, then no to yes
You blew the gold
Now keep that dust to you
It all to you
We don't give a damn about us
People got the world to blame
And you don't think that that will change do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to yes, then no to no
You blew the dust
Now keep that gold to you
It all to you
Well people thought the world could change
Now you don't think that that they're to blame do you
Oh now do you?
Say yes to no, then no to yes
You blew the gold
Now keep that dust to you
It all to you

Contemporary Heart

All these
School books in anatomy
They are trying hard, to make believe
That there’s a hidden treasure hiding in your chest
Yet if you go look for it seems you find pain at best
There’s 2 million choices of what I hate
Or what I want
It's hard to differentiate
In these modern times, full of black and white
Giving us rainbows of grey
I got it
All figured out
That's why I'm
So full of doubt
Contemporary heart
Why you keep me guessing, always keep me guessing
Is it that truth that hit me hard
That the listening to my feelings keeps my head constantly messing
With my mind all made up, but you're still trying to be so clever
Why you're always being so clever
I thought a heart it needs to love
But with all you make me feeling, I just can't escape the feeling
That for you
That’s not enough
Now you’re
Scaling down, ‘cause all these things you had
Were really trying their best to sooth you but did obfuscate
Beneath the cluster and the habits of your billboard self
Should there be something to makes sense
Of all this
Slowly growing, somber fascination
From rubble of the bubbles dawns a fascist nation
First you’re angry, then you're scared and then a little blue
Before you
Can't feel a thing
You had it
All figured out
That's why you're
So full of doubt
Contemporary heart
Why you keep me guessing, always keep me guessing
Is it that truth that hit me hard
That the listening to my feelings keeps my head constantly messing
With my mind all made up, but you're still trying to be so clever
Why you're always being so clever
I thought a heart it needs to love
But with all you make me feeling, I just can't escape the feeling
That for you
That’s not enough
Enough
Enough
And if I feel it, can it be wrong be it?
And if I feel it, there’s nothing wrong with it
And if I feel it, can it be wrong be it?
And if I feel it, there’s something wrong
And if I feel it, can it be wrong be it?
And if I feel it, there’s nothing wrong with it
And if I feel it, can it be wrong be it?
There’s something wrong, with what I’m feeling
And if I feel it, can it be wrong be it?
And if I feel it, there’s nothing wrong with it
And if I feel it, can it be wrong be it?
And if I feel it, there’s something wrong with what I…
And if I feel it, can it be wrong be it?
And if I feel it, there’s nothing wrong with it
And if I feel it, can it be wrong be it?
There’s something wrong with what, with what I’m feeling
