A Dream of 25 Years
02:49
|
|||
|
somethings you can touch
if they let you
sometimes things just need to be left alone
there's a time to bind
and a time to break the spine
and go.
when?
I don't know...
what makes a dog drop the bone?
a stupid dream is all my own
you can across the lawn
to the address unknown
or you can just go home
you can just go home
you can just go home
don't build a city of your own two sense
you tired selfish little boy
just turn the clothe you twist
and till it rips
and pours a noise
aren't you selfish aren't you coy?
i was born with an open mind
and closed it
a loud voice screaming from the yard
maybe you could break the spell
if you could yell that hard
you should try
it really suits you

i was born with pieces missing
and my mom said sorry son
i said its ok
im not missing
something that was always gone
but my mom said
if what you cant control dont win than you will
but my friend said
if you give your soul to me
you can prove her rong
but i just said
lalala
pieces missing

in my head there was always a big house
but i had to give it all away
but i said im not missing
someone who never wanted to stay
but my mom said
if what cant never have, makes you mad, then you'll go mad
and my friend said
nothing
notihng at all
then we sang

Every Million Years
02:32
|
|||
|
Sometimes i talk to the wall
sometimes the wall talks to me
but modern science cant explain
what happened to me
for in the dark of the night
i see a star in the sky so high
i pull it down for you love
and hold it to your eye
but every million years
an ocean re appears
and fills the earth with tears
but when you wake up early love
can you feel the earth fill with that love
or are you just there
cos every million mondays
leads to every million sundays
what do you believe?
cos baby i believe
every million years
an ocean re appears
and fills the earth with tears
with tears
uh huh
with tears
uh huh
with tears
that you cant shake
...but when you finally break..

I don't wanna wait till these bones are so old
no i don't

i could be true

we got a lot of time
you know we used to walk thru the forest

but you really liked to sit down and watch indie movies
so silently
sometimes we would talk
sometimes it was just me
and i liked you
but maybe it was just me

"The House"
02:41
|
|||
|
when you go to the cold gas station
to fill up the tank in the morning
you have a long drive
to get back to the house
you are under such crushing weight
you cant escape
when her mother was in practice
she was just as young as she
one day after a lot of practice
she said
you'll look just like me
she was under such crushing weight
make no mistake
when you go to the cold gas station
to fill up the tank in the morning
to get back to the house
get back to the house
get back to the house
get back to the house

canonized in a cell
splitting up the atom
you're stoned
dancing alone in your room
another boy
another girl
its 4am in the world
with green haired girl
this ain't love
but this ain't fictional
you help me out in a darker way
im all alone in my room
im all alone in my room
im all alone in my room
with green haired girl
im all alone in my room
im all alone in my room
im all alone in my room
with green haired girl

Theres a number on your door
but i know not to go
you said this game i play
puts blood in the snow
but when we were kids
we used to play with the worms
but now is the time
for them to watch us squirm
we dont like the word
call it epidermis
so run the bath
till it turns red
i can see it running down your leg
no i just cant have no one else
x3
when you layed in the grass
i found i was true to my school
they used to beat my ass
and tell me i was a fool
why dont you cut me open
see what color i am
then you can run the bath
for this desperate man
dont like the word
call it epidermis
she runs the bath
until it turns red
i can see it running down her leg
but
no i just cant have no one else

Bad Dreams 2
01:54
|
|||
|
how do you call yourself a man?
you speak in mystic ways gg could never understand
i wash my hair in honey
and stick to what i know
and i know
you gotta have bad dreams
to believe in the ghost that follows you
paranoid delusions often are true
i wanna save the world
but i know you wont believe me
but why,
don't you have bad dreams too?
|

hey where are you going so late
do you remember when you watched me break
you and I walked all night
you and i walked all night
i can remember the boots you were wearing
i can remember the sound that they made
click click
i can remember
some things i choose to remember
you and i walked all night
you and i walked all night

Lakesong
01:50
|

|
i drove all night
to the lake
no breaks
to the lake we go
when it breaks the skin
don't look at it
just forget it
let it break
yeah
there was moonlight
exchanging turns of phrase
in life its not who you like
but who you praise
I'm a thing of science
respect my contradictions
its a long walk home to the lake
x4
and im gonna break
yeah
we held hands
but we held too long
we held hands
but we held too long
we held hands
but it was getting late
and its a long walk home
to the lake
and
were gonna break
x4

A-Void
02:12
|
|||
|
i am an energy void
the one you like to a-void
all the time
alone in my room
i grow power
slowly
i take my time
then it slips away
and you pass me by
look out
I'm on the move
and in another million years
you'll be there too

Energy Girl
02:37
|
|||
|
I push on the reeds
and at the crack of light and she gets weird
everybody loves to watch the show
its syndicated don't you know?
she just wants to do what she likes
but a regular day turns into a real fright night
she just wants energy
when there's always someone to feed
when the credits roll
shes right there at the bottom
you gotta look real hard
to spot her
