So now we see Comes burying my burnt remains These puddled clouds Oh I, I understand now But darkness falls likes shattered pieces Dangling, shimmering Torn and tattered and crowned Oh, I'll not be told, "No", to "No more" You must believe to hear me sing these Messy morsels of my self-assuring love Oh, it's painful kneading Yes, I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles That glare me down and face me With all I do wrong Why do they all look like me? So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light Of my treacherous life If I had hands I'd hold up high My lofty dreams and my alibi's real name But I have no strength So I toss and I turn and I spit in the urn There's a ghost in your eye There is someone that knows more than I But I'm quick to deny So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light Of my treacherous life, make light |

When I came down the dawn poured into me I shook'em up, the walls came crumbling My fists kept trembling with these salty wounds My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb Now painting rainbows on my ugly face I built this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace But I ascend and serve my feverish need Within the confines of such chemistry It's the way I see Everything I need It's no way to be Let this be our little secret No one needs to know were feeling (Higher and higher and higher) (Higher and higher and higher) But I feel alive and I feel it in me Up and up I keep on climbing (Higher and higher and higher) (Higher and higher and higher) My face blew up at such a casual sight This miracle is of ecstatic fright They'll rush above me to oblivion Outlining white sidewalks with halogen Oh have you ever felt so goddamn strong How come it takes some people so damn long He tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain The citrus drawing out the seasons stains Watch the basin drain As your life lines wane And you can't explain As your friends complain You've caused all this pain And you proudly shame Your whole family's name Let this be our little secret No one needs to know were feeling (Higher and higher and higher) (Higher and higher and higher) But I feel alive and I feel it in me Up and up I keep on climbing (Higher and higher and higher) (Higher and higher and higher) Mother I can tell what you've been thinking Staring at the stars on your ceiling Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding And now I've hit the mark Staring at the dark And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars Let this be our little secret No one needs to know were feeling (Higher and higher and higher) (Higher and higher and higher) But I feel alive and I feel it in me Up and up and keep on climbing (Higher and higher and higher) (Higher and higher and higher) |

Dear friend as you know
Your flowers are withering Your mother's gone missing Your leaves have drifted away But the clouds are clearing up And I've come reveling Burning incandescently Like a bastard on the burning sea You're just like your father Buried deep under the water Your resting on your laurels Is stepping on my toes Whose side are you on? What side is this anyway? Put down your sword and crown Come lay with me on the ground You come beating like moth's wings Spastic and violently Whipping me into a storm Shaking me down to the core But you run away from me And you left me shimmering Like diamond wedding rings Spinning dizzily down on the floor You're drifting like a fire Buried deep under the water You're pressing on your laurel Is stepping on my toes Whose side are you on? What side is this anyway? Put down your sword and crown Come lay with me on the ground. Come lay with me on the ground. |

My world astir and sickly Spits out our voices, singing Tra la la la, oh, no no To kingdom come so slightly Here in the void in your place I twitch and tweak in illusion To sit and stare so blankly Until all hope is used up Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting? Where do you go when I'm around? What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating? And have the nerve to wear the crown? Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Some guarded room, smoky figure fills me full Makes my head swell in ruin My family kneels at the pew They nod, ""We believe in what you're doing"" I feel it rise above me The western landscapes, towering And from my shell of a body The flowers blossom for picking Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting? Where do you go when I'm around? What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating? And have the nerve to wear the crown? Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey I've waited and waited for someone to take it Don't fight it, don't bother, an inch for another Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction I've painted your patterns but found them attractive Now I've been leaning towards a life far more candid Thrown up through the darkness, your eyes as my candles And your life, and my life, directions can render And all of a sudden you left me to handle The reasons that never forbid me to step out And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret To say it aloud without actually breathing |

My eyes have once again been proven wrong
Your clouds, your blanket and my pity song Hovering on your front lawn Carry on until it's gone What can I do? The river's overrun We're swimming in a flood, you know? I thought I felt your touch But the water's rising up Then I lie naked in a rampage In the flesh, face to face with the onset I forget everything that's ever made me Rise again Now slowly leave my memory What can I do? The river's overrun We're swimming in a flood, you know? I thought I felt your touch But the water's rising up Now all my lovers raise their cups What can I do? The river's overrun We're swimming in a flood, you know? I thought I felt your touch But the water's rising up Now all my lovers raise their cups |

Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone I'm fine I'll be fine until the morning comes Then unmask me in the blistering sun Oh, let me go Just let me go Just let me go Or I'll Burst in front of your eyes Then collect myself from the ground And when I go And when I go Just let me go Like a light Flickering out in the skies Lost as fast as was found Everything is easy when you've never had to choose But the balance has shifted and we're forced to lose Like the sun and the moon, I will circle you 'til you bloom I will crush, I will maul, I will burn until I get to you Lay low Don't let me know when it's real Will they quietly follow me here? Take me as their own? Now I will hold you I will keep you I'll control my love Until it folds in my hands But I'll build it back to the top Everything is easy when you've never had to choose But the balance has shifted and we're forced to lose Like the sun and the moon, I will circle you 'til you bloom I will crush, I will maul, I will burn until I get to you Feel it rain We're alive Feel it rain |

That's a frosty way to speak,
To tell me how to live next to your potpourri All this talking pulls my teeth. I believed in you, so you believed in [Chorus] Me, I cried out ""God"" You dared me in the dark I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark so now I hide in piles of princely orange peels It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel. Once I had an name to call you. It scraped along the walls like an orthodox saint. I wish for the same old things that turn me inside out. Hearing is a strain, it's a game! [Chorus] Never have I ever been Clutching at your hair to cure you of some sin, But that's the kind of state I'm in: Swimming in a pool of godly medicine. ""Come, come,"" I hear it calling me, yelling, Like if ever there was someone who could make things heavy again. Feel alive! |

And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going to the beat And everything is going And you said it was like fire around the brim Burning solid burning thin the burning rim Like stars burning holes right through the dark Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes You were one inch from the edge of this bed I dragged tou back a sleepyhead They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst With all their lions and all their might and all their thirst They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead |

In pastures blue and green I'll follow you and you'll follow me My fabrics mystery I'll wave your loyalty in the freezing Breeze so desperately Ooh and another one comes down Ooh another one comes down Ooh another one comes down Ooh another one comes down I think I see my life He bows all slyly and gentle-like He's never had the right I've never lived without His sad and jealous eyes Ooh and another one comes down Ooh another one comes down Ooh another one comes down Ooh another one comes down They'd say Let your love grow tall Let your love grow tall Tall as the grass in the meadow? Or the dunes on the shore? Like the buildings in the city? And your children on the floor? But it's the thought that counts Quiet minds don't know their worth They know now what to do So I'll pray for them and I'll pray for you Till my face turns blue Ooh and another one comes down Ooh another one comes down Ooh another one comes down Ooh another one comes down They'd say Let your love grow tall Let your love grow tall Tall as the grass in the meadow? Or the dunes on the shore? Like the buildings in the city? And your children on the floor? Like the darkness in the forest? Like my frightened worried eyes? Or the roots in the soil? Are the skies telling lies? |

Someday you'll see Surrounded by angels floating atop of the sea On bended knee Don't go where they go, don't sing all the songs they sing Nobody knows you the way you know you But I think I do But I thought I knew, yeah, I thought I knew Nobody knows you the way you know you But I think I do But I thought I knew, yeah, I thought I knew Between these walls Her back, strange glimpse, casts shadows frighteningly tall I slow to a crawl I jump and I yell but she hears nothing at all Nobody knows you the way you know you But I think I do But I thought I knew, yeah, I thought I knew Nobody knows you the way you know you But I think I do But I thought I knew, yeah, I thought I knew Stay, stay the same 'Cause everything else will change And I've always been to blame So please just stay the same The currents pull me in The tide has reached my chin The seaweed tickles skin Just let the water win I'm freezing to the bone You'll never be at home Just watch, you're running out Just watch your body go Nobody knows you the way you know you But I think I do But I thought I knew, yeah, I thought I knew Nobody knows you the way you know you But I think I do But I thought I knew, yeah, I thought I knew |

Oh my life is changing everyday
Every possible way Though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems Never quite as it seems I know I felt like this before But now I'm feeling it even more Because it came from you Then I open up and see The person fumbling here is me A different way to be I want more, impossible to ignore Impossible to ignore They'll come true, impossible not to do Impossible not to do Now I tell you openly You have my heart so don't hurt me For what I couldn't find Talk to me amazing mind So understanding and so kind You're everything to me Oh my life is changing everyday Every possible way Though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems 'cause you're a dream to me Dream to me |
