Bob Mould - District Line (2008) by Bob Mould (보컬) on maniadb.com

Please listen to me / and don't disagree
Even as we fight / it doesn't matter to me
Here alone in this place / here alone in my bed
I feel your warmth on my face / and these thoughts in my head

Everything I say to you feels stupid now
Feelings that i shared with you are over now
Haven't I been enough of a fool for you?
Everything I say to you feels stupid now

You plead with yourself / but he's leading you on
It's the same thing every time / every time
I am determined not to fall into that trap again
It's the things I need for myself / and not a way to validate

Or partner up with some great statue
That never moves or goes on dates
And chasing the one who's running away
While being chased by the one you don't want

It's the race to be whole / and it's always unfair
It'll break your heart for a while / break your heart for a while
The passion hoping wanting / is what drove you to be
What you are today / what you are today

The shape shifting, weightlifting
Hope the presentation will catch his eye
And it did, and then he saw the string
He grabbed it and leads you on your leash

You offered it up / so don't blame anyone but yourself
And just the moment you think / just at the moment you think
You're closing the deal / he walks to the other side of the world
And closes the door in your face

You never give me the things I need / and yet I stay here, I remain
Hoping you will see the things I need / But I've come to learn
You don't even see me / I am invisible to
You don't even see me / I am invisible

Who needs to dream?
I don't want to dream about the future
I only hope that I can make it to tomorrow

It began sometime last week
The feeling that most everything was changing for the worse
All the triggers pulled at once
So begins my ugly fall from grace - again

I made myself delusional, the noble stab at staying upbeat
It was only for a while
Tried my best to radiate through hurricanes and double eights
The pair split into two

Talking points from up on high
Watch me walk the ledge, I am comfortable out here by myself
You could never reach me here
Words distroted in the wind, landing softly there beneath the trees

Our trip to California, don't say I didn't try to warn you
Put down the cell phone, and try to be with me
Did you see me disappear like vapor rolling through the hills
And then, the silence of your name

I never found the trust I needed from you
Everything you did was making me wonder
My biggest mistake was taking you back
Again and again

Couldn't forgive the things that you did
I'm glad it worked out for you, but
You're only fooling yourself if you think you won't do it
Again and again

Sad attempts at poetry, sad attempts at happiness
The sadness of reality
I'm OK, I've been OK, I'll stay OK

I took the bullets from the carport, toossed them in my backpack
Placed a set of keys inside the grill
I left the title to the house inside the piano bench
And my lawyer's got the will

We lock the gaze tightly upon each other
No others come near, no others come between
As you remain beside me muted and studying

In beauty and radiant heat
I will write the words I want to hear you say
On a page torn from my diary
I hand you the sacred text and wait for you to place it

Across the hole in my heart smoothing the edges from the center
Affixing it in place with sugar water and saliva
I want you to read these words to me every day

This is where the thought resides
Stuck upon my heart on the outside
I am speechless in your beauty, you are flawless in my eyes
As your eyes show my reflection

I try to ignore the decay and listen harder to the tone
The pitch of your broad chest as it exhales into mine
Old highs, new lows. Ain't that how life goes.

True blue star: would you stay in my heart?
Or will you fool me once again?

Time to remember and forget the love you gave, the deep regret.
And in the end, return to dust; and in the end, return we must

The verse, the bridge, the one refrain; the turn, the happiness, the pain.
When I am stripped of everything, I have the plainsong left to sing.

What do you want to be? Will you grow up like me?
What do I have to defend? Where will I go in the end?

Growing old, it's hard to be the angry young man.
Turn away. Turn and walk away.

Beyond profane and holy word, a thought profound, but never heard.
With all compassion in your eyes, you cast me downward from the sky.

Feeling the earth moving under my feet, all that was firm is collapsing.
Eyes going blind, all is silent. Peace.

There were trails of fallen trees
Deciduous and weeding marsh
The lowland birds and crickets roared
The final sound of fall
Along the banks of the river
We approached the footbridge
Entering the wilderness
Following my footstep

The silence between us is the time
When I can't hear the thoughts
That's on your mind, yeah

Beyond the panic and worried that
Seems to consume most every thought
There lies a calm and steady hand
That someday you might see
Perhaps it isn't what you wanted
Or even what you're looking for
But once you see the symmetry
Once you see the you and me

The silence between us is the time
When I can't hear the thoughts
That's on your mind, yeah
Winter lovers, we're so nervous
The words will disappear
What thoughts are on your mind, yeah

You park the car outside the Holiday Inn
We cross the highway single-file
And you were walking in a hurry
And there was me without water with a smile
Yeah!

The silence between us is the time
When I can't hear the thoughts
That's on your mind, yeah

Winter lovers, we're so nervous
The words will disappear
What thoughts are on your mind, yeah
On your mind, yeah
On your mind, yeah
On your mind, yeah

Shelter me from everything you do
Shelter me I cant see the truth
Keep me from this pain I see
Keep me from the pain you deal
Keep me from reality
Keep me in suspended disbelief

I can't see the truth from you
I can't see reality
I can't see the truth from you reality
Shelter me from everything you do
Shelter me suspended disbelief

Shelter me shelter me from yoou
Shelter me sheltered from the truth
Shelter me keep me from the truth
Shelter me suspended disbelief

A little less affection every day
As it resonates, reverberates, and trails away
The slow romantic decay
As is resonates, reverberates, and trails away

If you want it to be, you've got to stand here by me
But if you wanted to leave, go on and make yourself free
If you want me to plead, you see me down on my knees
You can do as you like, but do you know where it leads?

When I wake from my sleep, outside my window I see
A little robin that sings a little sonnet for me
And every morning, I feel just like that bird in that tree
I'd build a nest out of weeds, but would you share it with me?

This is very temporary, but I can't do without having you around
If it's very temporary, tell me now
Just to please you I'd blow my brains out, this is it
Cut my heart out with a razor now

You're the one in my dreams, how can I make you believe
It's all that I want, it's all that I want

Now I'm lonely, it's the yearning
You infiltrate my thoughts and places in my home
This is very temporary, I know that's all you want,
I know I know
You're the reason I keep breathing and I'll give up the fight if you go
Cut my heart out with a razor now

I say to you / secrets that I hold so dear
I'm putting all my emotions on display
What i say to you / maybe it's that time of year
Would you like to see my miniature parade?

What I say to you / I thought about those broken hearted
Crazy years and I hope that they're gone
What I say to you will always stay between your loving arms and mine

Why'd you have to tear me up? Didn't I seem sad enough?
I can play the clown for you / is that what I'm supposed to do?

Sun is falling down like rain, the clouse are mixed with velvet pain
Minature parade I bring to you
Try to see the reason i get mixed up when I open up my
Hopes and fears and wants and needs to you

as performed by Bob Mould
as interpreted by Matthew Savoie

Is it a crime, to want to show your soul
We've wasted our time, another black hole
This guide is not even lost, not even sure
Now find the disease or the cure

Has life lost all its glory and wonder
Sad tales are told again and again
Sleep toss and turn my old bed
What a tale, again and again

Now all the stories of the world could fit in a building
In a building high and wide
Well it's filed under headdings
That no one's quite sure of
But Lord knows that everyone tried

When the pen meets the paper
When the mind, it begins to stray
How a sould can lose its will to explain
Oh explain, again and again
Day after day, day after day, day after day.

Oh-- oh-- no no no...

We all cry once in a while
It doesn't fit well with your smile
But then are those tears, are they for real
Again and again it's how you feel

If I was losing life, when picked from the ground
A nice arrangement for the occation
But when flowers when moved from place to place
Lose all meaning, dislocation, dislocation
Mmmmmm oh ah--- no now...

When a sleepless night
A flame attempts to spark us all
We might burn, candle light
A waste of time, another dead soul
If these walls around my soul could talk
The words would lose importance
Within these walls I hold
So hear these words

We all want to leave a mark somewhere
With those of us who feign to care
If all fortune its times we find a way
To build up these walls in time, to build up these walls in time.


Is it a crime?
