Every word we've got

Another Hallucination
Your vowels echo out Through the valleys of my brain Your consonants pour down Like the softest drops of rain
Are you another hallucination? I think I’m losing my mind I’m torn and I’m tired and I’m running out of time
But I think that I could find A vision to believe in A rhythm I could hold A prophecy of movement A revolution for the soul
Are you another hallucination? I think I’m losing my mind I’m torn and I’m tired and I’m running out of time
Do you wanna, do do you wanna, Just lie on the floor? And stare, up at the ceiling Till we can’t take it anymore Cause lately I’ve been, I’ve been feeling Like I’m losing my grip on time Misdirection and missed connection Till I can’t tell which thoughts are mine
Caterpillar
We used to be two caterpillars Crawling side by side Now you’re just a butterfly Flying outta sight
And the more you change The less you mean to me In the blink of an eye You change so suddenly
Used to be the colour red, Now you’ve mixed with blue And I can’t even bring myself To look at you
And the more you change The less you mean to me In the blink of an eye You change so suddenly
Change Your Mind
You said you’d never change your mind but your mind is changing all the time your cells are constantly dividing without consent, without you trying.
Oh it’s a sweet sweet sweet decay we’re never younger than we are today I know that all we have is now Still I get lost in the past somehow
But don’t be sad this is the best life I’ve ever had and I’ll see you on the next spin of the wheel and that’s the deal
Devil Will Catch You
Think before you act and the devil will catch you Try to move from inside a place of virtue
How could I resolve not to decide? What am I to do when our karma collides?
The past can never haunt you, Cause it does not exist, It’s just a simple movement, a flick of the wrist
How could I resolve not to decide? What am I to do when our karma collides?
Maybe I misspoke this life is seriously a joke and there’s no time for regret Oh no, you haven’t made a wrong decision yet
How could I resolve not to decide? What am I to do when our karma collides?
Faithless Town
street lamps and orange halogen I'll make my way back home A cold wind creeps through my jacket etched in me like a poem
headlights and blinking filaments, I watch my breath rise As starlight falls onto the pavement, and reflects in my eyes
And I feel alright In this faithless town Where the colours run together And no one makes a sound
Moonlight and shards of glass, break up the shadows of this town and I am weathered, and I am delivered in the silence that surrounds
And I feel alright In this faithless town Where the colours run together And no one makes a sound
FLE
This dream is a one way street Find me where the crossroads meet Detour down a dusty road Failure as it was foretold
Maybe I'm a little bit tired of these wake-up calls Maybe I just wanna hang out and do nothing at all I've got so many things I want to do But I can never follow through when I'm on my own And I can never seem to get it done If I've got somewhere else to run so leave me alone Yeah Mmm
New scheme and a fresh new plan Forsaken before it began Step one of just twenty-three Success but to what degree
Maybe I'm a little bit tired of these wake-up calls Maybe I just wanna hang out and do nothing at all I've got so many things I want to do But I can never follow through when I'm on my own And I can never seem to get it done If I've got somewhere else to run so leave me alone Yeah Hey-yeah
Can't claim this time I'll follow through I've learned that simply is not true They say the third time’s the charm I'm on my twelfth so what's the harm
Maybe I'm a little bit tired of these wake-up calls Maybe I just wanna hang out and do nothing at all I've got so many things I want to do But I can never follow through when I'm on my own And I can never seem to get it done If I've got somewhere else to run so leave me alone Oooo
Maybe I'm a little bit tired of these wake-up calls Maybe I just wanna hang out and do nothing at all I've got so many things I want to do But I can never follow through when I'm on my own And I can never seem to get it done If I've got somewhere else to run so leave me alone
Little Lies
These little lies inventing sad realities Keep hoping rumours that you started will come true Put on your new face, they’ll never know who you were A mere reflection of the life you want to live
Cause you light the flame then you put it out Save the candle but burn down the house Brick by brick you built up these walls And stone by stone you’re pointing out their flaws
These subtle thoughts holding on so tight If life’s a game of cat and mouse then you’re the dog Can’t find where you fit and yet you’ve never tried Somehow you read between the lines but missed the point
Cause you light the flame then you put it out Save the candle but burn down the house Brick by brick you built up these walls And stone by stone you’re pointing out their flaws
So who convinced you to give up what you know Was there a prize or was it fear of being alone
Cause you light the flame then you put it out Save the candle but burn down the house Brick by brick you built up these walls And stone by stone you’re pointing out their flaws
Love 2 Burn
Do you got love 2 burn, cause I'm on a blue train, in a moment's notice, everything can rearrange
I'm at a loss for words these girls like wolves tearing up the night the second time around
Do you got drugs 2 burn cause everything has changed, and oh those powder blues, mix 'em up with pink champagne,
I'm at a loss for words these girls like wolves tearing up the night the second time around
Do you got love 2 burn, cause I'm on a blue train, and oh those powder blues, mix 'em up with pink champagne
New Vibration
Trying to find myself but I don’t think I exist Trying to find the truth but illusions persist like the laws of god and the laws of man sent down by the sleight of hand
Hidden voices talking me towards A soul of riches, that I cannot afford What’s in a dollar? What’s in a name? A new vibration wouldn’t change anything
Bird gets to sing she gets to soar she never wonders what this life is for I get to sit and contemplate try to laugh and accept my fate
Nothing Funny
Everybody’s different, so what difference does it make What’s the difference if we make the same mistakes Nobody knows how to talk anymore, Our tongues are tied and our jaws are on the floor
It’s so lovely The way everything’s breaking down It’s so lovely the way you throw your words around
Don’t want to be right In a world gone wrong Where everything’s broken But we still push on Divided we fall and that’s where we stand We’re all strangers in a strange, strange land
It’s so lovely The way everything’s breaking down It’s so lovely the way you throw your words around
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before when everything’s a joke nothing’s funny anymore
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before when everything’s a joke nothing’s funny anymore
Now You See Me
There’s just someone that I’m longing to see A holy ghost carved out especially for me An endless black hole I can stare into Whenever I want to go there Whenever I want to go there Whenever I want to go there Whenever I want to go there
Caught me sleeping, dreaming That this was a dress rehearsal It's so real but still somehow Out of the realm of possibilities I allowed myself to see But it’s not up to me And don’t I know it now Yeah I know it now And don’t I know it now Yeah I know it now
I know, I know, I know For everything there’s a time and place Right now I know, I know That it’s my heart that I can’t face And I know somewhere There’s a light that’s burning bright I just can’t see it now I just can’t see it now I just can’t see it now I just can’t see it now
Nowhere
I can’t get no, I can’t get nowhere without you I can’t get no, I can’t get nowhere without you
Is this a dream Cause it’s the bluest that I’ve seen It is what it is I just had higher hopes than this All things must pass Especially the things you want to last
I can’t get no, I can’t get nowhere without you I can’t get no, I can’t get nowhere without you
Biting my tongue Cause I’m afraid of what’s to come I hesitate Cause good things come to those who wait But please tell me why Your ‘hellos’ sound just like goodbyes
I can’t get no, I can’t get nowhere without you I can’t get no, I can’t get nowhere without you
No no no No no no no
Same Old Song
What were we searching for? I don’t know What were we working towards? I’m not sure
But when you walk in (when you walk in) The planets align I lose my grip (I lose my grip) I get lost in time
How long can we do What we know is wrong? How long can we sit here And play the same old song.
And how long can we be Where we don’t belong How long can we sit here And play the same old song
I try to be good I try to walk the line But I get strangled By the ties that bind
But when you walk in (when you walk in) The planets align I lose my grip (I lose my grip) I get lost in time
How long can we do What we know is wrong? How long can we sit here And play the same old song.
And how long can we be Where we don’t belong How long can we sit here And play the same old song
Smile
When you wake up and find You’ve got a blue feeling in your mind Just try and be kind And you know that you might find
If you just smile, after a while It won’t be a lie anymore The feelings you feel Will all become real It won’t be a lie anymore
All your troubles are gone So long All your troubles are gone So long
If you just smile, after a while It won’t be a lie anymore The feelings you feel Will all become real It won’t be a lie anymore
When you wake up and find You’ve got a blue feeling in your mind
Some People
Some see beauty, wanna shoot it dead Pluck the feathers and they hang their heads Build a cage and throw out the key Then cry out loud, “When will I be free?”
Maybe some people just can’t be saved It’s hard to feel bad for a player played Running from the light, they shut their eyes Break their own hearts and act surprised, Oh, some people
Some wanna break what they’ll never hold Trading in silver for some painted gold Look so lost but they drew the map, Built up the walls and then laid a trap
Maybe some people just can’t be saved It’s hard to feel bad for a player played Running from the light, they shut their eyes Break their own hearts and act surprised
The dream is over The dream is over don’t you know? The dream is over We still got miles and miles to go
The dream is over The dream is over don’t you know? The dream is over We still got miles and miles to go
Some people just can’t be saved It’s hard to feel bad for a player played Running from the light, they shut their eyes Break their own hearts and act surprised
Laughing out loud when there is no joke Burning every bridge and choking on smoke Poisoning a well that’s already dry Shooting pretty things just so they can watch them die
Too Loud
They say everybody dies But I’m still not convinced I’d still like to see Some more hard evidence Cause right now I feel tall two inches from the sky And I just can’t believe I’m ever gonna die
It’s alright It’s only life It’s alright
Some days go by too slow And some go by too quick It’s enough to break your heart It’s enough to make you sick The more you try to hold The more it slips away So let’s get our goodbyes Right out of the way
It’s alright It’s only life It’s alright
Who went and turned the world up Way too loud? How’s anybody supposed To hear themselves?
Vampire
Lovely and luminous All the moments that we miss The more you learn the less you know You can’t make it if you don’t go
the little spaces in between the things we say and the things we mean Betrayed by circumstance Held down without a chance
The world is a vampire baby And so am I We’ll go until We bleed each other dry
It’s all upon me, I’ll take the blame But you could take it just the same it makes no difference in the end An enemy’s as good as a friend
I think I’m getting close To the heart of what matters most But just a glimpse and it slips away Falls back into the grey
The world is a vampire baby And so am I We’ll go until We bleed each other dry
Work of Art
The nature of your movement is foreign to me it’s a misunderstanding but it’s happy
all these passing moments they reign over me yes all these passing moments they rain over me
my powers of expression and thoughts so obscene could never do you justice baby could never get you clean
only one thing I did correct I learned how to live without the fear of death
And I won’t send my poems to any of the magazines wondering if they’re any good if they’re any good at all
Cause no one sound can console me but the clanging of my own heart and no one tells me what to be when I’m banging out a work of art
Feel for the reason spreading out its roots into the soft earth of your heart
