I wanna get to know you I wanna know your mind I like to do it backwards You can’t do it in just one night Everybody’s out to get you The way you look that’s no surprise And if you wanna girl to love you Just gaze into her eyes and say It’s not hard to fall in love People do it all the time Romeo had Juliette And that worked out just fine Adam had an apple Eve had too much wine She put the apple on his head Pulled the trigger then closed her eyes Love is so simple First it’s great and then it hurts But it takes too long to realize That it’s more trouble than it’s worth If what she did to you Was done to her by someone first Then find someone you care about And make sure you do it worse

Built myself a nest so deep Now i’m picking it apart Navigating empty streets Now I’m turning back around The dizzy little lie that’s passing through It stains my cotton skin a shade of blue I'm dizzy Yeah, I'm dizzy Feelin’ dizzy just for you

I saw the fire changing hands A strange moment in a strange land I wrote the words in rushing blood Followed commands from up above Can you feel the weight of it pressing down Like the millionth mile, everywhere I look I can't stand the fate of it But you've gotta suffer for something now Everyone Is holding on The best they can In an instant they will burn away It doesn't matter how much you did here No one remembers to remember those things Kaleidoscopes Are spilling out To light our paths With colors that will bend and sway I get the feeling that when we're talking Your mind is turning to the things it used to Let's cleave the bed with heavy rest Save vapid joy for the ones with less Of a sense of the spiritual We've got a terrible day ahead now And I still wonder if my old man thinks of me And starts to shudder at the things I've done and seen But I can't concern myself with that now Everyone Is holding on The best they can In an instant they will burn away It doesn't matter how much you did here No one remembers to remember those things Kaleidoscopes Are blowing up To light our paths With colors that will bend and sway I get the feeling that when we're talking Your mind is turning to the things it used to You can't stop The cracks and pops Livin' in your bones And I've waited so long And I won't be stopped By a Restless thought

A glass is thrown on the floor And that’s alright The hurt, I’ve been there before And that’s alright A book whose pages are torn And that’s alright It’s late, the lamplights are on And that’s alright

I was gonna take the last train home If only I knew which way to go Caught myself in the mirror thought I’d overcome I never thought the cold motherfucker would stain The midnight that give to you A better slightly out of you Somewhere so special you can never warm Somewhere so special you can overcome Midnight eyes that give to you A heaven so slightly out of view A lever that somewhere leads to you Eleven - that someone means to you Oh baby I’m mad, I’m mad at you For showing me, another you Somehow so special you can never warm Somehow so special you can never calm I give to you A heaven bluntly inner you A lever that somewhere leads you Eleven - that someone means to you

to love the sea who loves the shore when I’m the moon in her sky this path’s a pier that has an end you recover as I fade the veil I wear is pale as dust to hide the fear and the lust I ask for stars to shield the day and you recover as I fade always out of reach, a sinking moon and rising sea when the sun comes out, will you wait for me motionless in day and I will draw you up we'll revolve around each other until my light goes out and in the dim our shadows kiss they never meet, lest turn to glass I must be brave, keep darkness lit and retire all my thirst to drink the sea as I see fit you recover as my light fades always out of reach, a sinking moon and rising sea when the sun comes out, will you wait for me motionless in day and I will draw you up we'll revolve around each other until my light goes out
7.
My brother I have followed you Followed to the end I saw you just the other day And I know where you have been My mother shared a photograph Of you and all my friends I wonder I wonder if I'll ever see you again I'm hollow It's in my head Swallowed up by the deep of the ocean Hollow It's in my head Follow you to the end My brother I have come for you I cannot pretend I called you in the summer But I waited til the end My brother I would comfort you But I cannot descend I wonder I wonder if I'll ever see you again
8.
Time seems to move so fast When I look back, on the days and months its to easy to lose track And you might tap me on the shoulder And suddenly 10 years went by And I got older and bolder, but the world got colder This can’t, this can’t be undone We won’t, we won’t find ourselves outrun This can’t, this can’t be undone We won’t, we won’t find ourselves outrun Offset the wobble with our global lies There is more to this than you and I Be my anchor, my gravity Hold on tight, one day we’ll be free This can’t, this can’t be undone We won’t, we won’t find ourselves outrun This can’t, this can’t be undone We won’t, we won’t find ourselves outrun
