Beck, Elliot Smith의 앨범을 제작했던 프로듀서 Rob Schnapf가 가담한 이번 앨범에는 Death Cab for Cutie풍의 경쾌한 인디록 넘버 "The City's Summer"와 "Untouched And Intact" 이모록스타일의 "Thin Layer"등 총 12곡 수록! .... ....
Through a thin layer of rubber and a thick rusted armor of drunken lust I think when our clothes were on we had a different image of What this was supposed to be My buzz allowed me to slip into you more comfortably
Here's what I intended, and here is the truth(x2)
The soundtrack to our meeting fills the awkward spaces between our strained breathing And the only thing between, between the two of us, is your blood and our sweat I can taste the cigarettes on your tongue while exchanging spit
Here's what I intended, and here is the truth(x2) Here is the truth (x6)
Now disguise this whining with melody, and I hope that it leaves, leaves you intrigued And I hope you feel, you feel what I did at the time that this was conceived Well, the silence is pleasing, between our strained breathing, now it's over with This is not what I intended
Are you not the slightest bit confused? Just the truth The speed at which we move blends so well It's too soon
Separate yourself from what compels you to relinquish us Push your way on to me entirely Stay away from me, stay away from me now Unless you gonna see, unless you gonna see me out
No, I can't dance unless it's slow or sad To a song that's far less obvious You're using me, do it slowly Make it last until I have to go
Trust me when I say just a few more weeks Don't move Resist temptation or do as you see fit? Just choose
Separate yourself from what compels you to relinquish us Push your way on to me entirely Stay away from me and stay away from me now Unless you gonna see, unless you gonna see me out
No, I can't dance unless it's slow or sad To a song that's far less obvious You're using me, do it slowly Make it last until I have to go
No, I can't dance unless it's slow or sad To a song that's far less obvious You're using me, do it slowly Make it last until I have to go
No, I can't dance unless it's slow or sad To a song that's far less obvious If you're using me do it slowly Make it last until I have to go
Stay away from, stay away from Stay away from me Stay away from, stay away from Stay away from me Stay away from, stay away from me
Maybe it's time to hold onto one side, one decision Let go of the hand that holds me high above that great divide
And beauty is the ease required for you to understand That single frame of animation
I think you know I think you know I realise when you wake up that sometimes I appear unfamiliar but these prints can't lie I realize when you wake up that sometimes I appear unfamiliar but these prints can't lie These prints can't lie
Possessing all the features I've predetermined to objectify Effortless and rubenesque, yet so perfectly-ly aligned
And beauty is the ease required for you to understand That single frame of animation
I think you know I think you know I realise when you wake up that sometimes I appear unfamiliar but these prints can't lie I realize when you wake up that sometimes I appear unfamiliar but these prints can't lie
Nine or ten songs I had let pass before I had broke that first thought progression And there we were, in the same restaurant grazing legs underneath the table
And I will always, always I will watch over you I will always, always I will watch over you Over you, over you
I realise when you wake up that sometimes I appear unfamiliar but these prints can't lie I realize when you wake up that sometimes I appear unfamiliar but these prints can't lie These prints can't lie
I want you back This means untouched and intact (you always were so critical) I want you back This means untouched and intact (you always were so critical) I want you back This means untouched and intact (you always were so critical) I want you back This means untouched and intact
Running in and out of breath Stained skin and teeth too red Incessant slamming in the tongue God forbid I spend one night alone Out to the parking lot Stumbling towards my apartment Pressed you close against the screen door, close enough to feel underneath your clothes
You overcompensate for your own inexperience, Don't underestimate, oh my fear of getting caught
So many words, so many words So many you can't believe So many words, so many words So many stuck at sea
On the second story of your suburban home Mom's asleep just two doors down Funny how when stuck at sea Things are never the way the seem Clouds take the shape of gloves Reaching over the flames at dusk Missing clips in your consciousness Just act as if I don't exist
You overcompensate for your own inexperience,
Don't underestimate, oh my fear of getting caught.
So many words, so many words So many you can't believe So many words, so many words So many stuck at sea
Felt the repetition of my way The lack of apprehension That one day
So many words, so many words So many you can't believe So many words, so many words So many you can't believe
I'll keep burning my fingers In attempt to rekindle the flame The match is too flimsy And the wind just annuls her name So I pull out the garments that will press between us On the dream this evening you refer to in disgust.
So many words, so many words So many you can't believe So many words, so many words So many stuck at sea (x3)
Is this the sound of our demise Or just the opposite? I love you and I miss you What else is there to say? It takes a hell of a lot more to complete this
Far more, far more to recreate Far more, far more, far more, far more Far more, far more than we can take
When you decide how much time Do you let, do you let, do you let, do you let Pass before These false starts, these small meals They're for my, for my starving hands Just treading, just treading shallow waters Avoiding the drop, the drop in the ocean floor
Far more, far more, far more, far more Far more, far more than we possess How much, how much, how much How much longer, girl How much longer do we need to wait?
For a moment when the blare of the tv subsides And then song fills the air, playing every night A change in the key feels like a change in the season
I pretend almost every, every other night That this body and its entirety belongs to me, every breath It comes and goes It comes and goes All night
Well, you can't dictate the way, the way I'm gonna feel No matter what, no matter what I'm forced to see I'll be the one free of jealousy
Well, you can't dictate the way, the way I'm gonna feel No matter what, no matter what I'm forced to see I'll be the one free of jealousy
Far more, far more, far more, far more Far more, far more than we can take So well, so well, so well rehearsed I coordinate this kind of mess
I'll do it like, do it like, do it like Do it like, do it like, do it like Do it like, do it like, do it like we used to Like we used to do
I love you and I miss you What else is there to say?
Between this urban territory satellites Our children could be so much better off sacrificed than lost Just 200 miles out east Smothered in the sun's evening glare dispersing the colours as i stare the rays that will spread and spray from ?? only in between in my hands only in between
radiate radiate radiate not only for radiate radiate radiate not only for you not only for you
If I could be as strong as my father was with us then There's no reason to doubt resentment is out, Absolutely out of the question Smothered in the sun's evening glare dispersing the colours as I stare
The rays that will spread and spray from ?? only in between in my hands only in between
Radiate, radiate, radiate, not only for Radiate, radiate, radiate, not only
This life we have chosen's eating you up from the inside I'm not asking I am begging Why won't you realise? say it in your own way I know you wish we had stayed say it in your own way I know you wish we had stayed
Radiate, radiate, radiate, not only for Radiate, radiate, radiate, not only for you
Resurrect the evening, brought it back as it filled in Filled in something missing Something never there to begin You were so distraught Had never been in love Guess you learned your lesson Don't starve a poor boy
You could not help yourself from crying The entire night It's painful when you realise your lives are intertwined It's helped me somewhat
Well, I'll be yours forever Just tell me when to start There are just a few place That I'll need to stop Some along the way, some in the midst of In the midst of our eternal love
And you could not help yourself from crying The entire night It's painful when you realise your lives are intertwined It's helped me somewhat It's helped me somewhat
Why lie? The truth's easy to find in time Forgive me of this crime It's alright I swear I'll never, swear I'll never Swear I'll never do this again
Why lie? The truth's easy to find in time Forgive me of this crime It's good night I don't even, I don't even I don't even know her name
Yesterday's dinner's haunting me today Blades in my stomach spinning I awake with a fear of ?? Hiding by the stress of your love I won't return your calls until it lets up Oh, just one more season, you will be good
Tonight, oh Don't even, don't even try, oh
'Cause when I'm concentratin' on makin' statements I will fool you into thinkin' we're fine Yeah, I'll fool you, fool you, fool you, into thinkin' we're fine Until you start to feel something outside Yeah, well, you alone can visualise
Not worth the misery A sordid history The years of revelry We converse endlessly Those powdered lips that say you cry You start to feel something outside
Tonight, oh Don't even, don't even try
It's not me that was mistaken For an earnest, heartfelt evening
For a moon-induced hallucination Couldn't help but notice Your eyes are losing focus Such magnetism, now you're opposed But if you're not begging for it Then it's not yours Once dependent, now no signs of withdrawal
Not worth the misery A sordid history The years of revelry We converse endlessly Those powdered lips that say you cry Well, you start to feel something outside
Tonight, oh Don't even, don't even, don't
Please talk softly now No need to scream The raise in decibels seems obsence Please talk softly now No need to scream The raise in decibels seems obsence
Tonight, well, tonight You sold everything you've been told I apologise
Crawling through the dense green carpeting Untamed and Seventeen, tiny fingers couldn't pry their way through that, they cannot unravel
Relapse, fall backwards and slide Are you suggesting that I repress, Repress and disguise
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na (x2)
Surge of static electricity brought on by the fear of being seen creeping up in silence on the battle scene slow and slithering we stand still on fourth of july numb to explosions that scream and light, light up the sky
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na (x2)
The solution its been tested in mind I will never persevere When swimming in serotonin even The city's summer smells like perfume
So rub your wrists together, take a swig and you'll feel better once you close your eyes. We tend to sleep for hours and hours
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na (x2)
Through the kitchen then up the column of my spine, all of this hatred and echoing despise (x2)
Have your lips graced another's yet Or am I the only one? Everytime I try to speak to you Those are the thoughts that run Say something else, girl I don't want to have to leave Our communication is hardly what it used to be
When can I claim you to be my own, so selfishly? When can I claim you to be my own, my only?
Want nothing more than our futures to collide Can tell this is going to be one of many disappointing nights Traces of you are so minimal A black and white ?? photobook with us
When can I claim you to be my own, so selfishly? When can I claim you to be my own, my only?
And I have only one week to make you mine And I may never see you again It's not only for me, it's not only me
There's a little bit, a little bit here for you But I'm willing to wait I'm willing to wait
Day time is no longer the hours spent Lit by sunlight rather the hours to obsess And the night is far worse 'Cause I know you're alone with her And thoughts of, of us have been deserted It'll never be the same I'll never be the same again I'll never be the same again
I have only one week to make you mine And I may never see you again Time is few and far between There is someone else who needs There is someone else who needs your attention But I'm willing to wait I'm willing to wait I'm willing to wait I'm willing to wait
I'm lacking any discipline Pulling strings Tapping up your skin with porcelain Stop listening No longer need, oh the sunlight That night we had it will suffice Infatuation is the perfect camouflage Or the temporary place to go
I'm lacking any confidence Second-guessing Separate for perspective Is there nothing at all? Now I'll see you for weeks and weeks Judge hastily, no patience
I've seen you under every, every sort of light From ideal perfection to the darker side You always were You always were so good to me
I need a stimulant something to help reinvent I need a stimulant something to help reinvent
Well, I have only one request Wait until I'm gone Wait until I'm gone Wait until I'm gone Wait until I'm gone
Is there nothing left? Is there nothing left? Is there nothing at all? Is there nothing left? Is there nothing left? Is there nothing at all?
well I need a stimulant something to help reinvent I need, I need, I need I need, I need, I need
Doesn't seem that selfish No, not in the least. What's so self righteous about this curiosity, This want for a meager exchange? So much time has passed, but still, it remains. This need for you is a recurring theme in my life
Don't you think I'm lonely Eager to complete the story Confused and still haunted with why you'd start over Oh, and ignore me
It takes time to realize the other side of you That's controlled and blinding on sight of our lives Even if you left me and my brother Even if you left us and our mother.
I want nothing more than to catch your eye Would you be impressed with how far I've climbed Without your assistance? With you nowhere in sight?
Don't you think I'm lonely Eager to complete the story Confused and still haunted With why you'd start over Oh, and ignore us
It takes time to realize the other side of you That's controlled and blinding on sight of our lives Even if you left me and my brother Even if you left us and our mother
She's had her share More than we'll know My brother won't, he just won't let go.
They say you're sick and there's a name and a phrase To apply and help explain Still having trouble trying to separate How you started a new family
Even after you left me and my brother Even after you left us and our mother.
