Fall to the Ground
03:59
|

Stand up for yourself, stand upon my grave
Grinning down on me… is no way to behave
Broaden my horizon, the fog is rolling down
The air of coldness scares me, I’m haunted by this town and I
Always fall to the ground
Spent the year away, returned with empty hands
But every year that’s lost, another will be found
You make it look so easy, swimming in the sand
Know that you’re at peace, while on this dry land I drown and I
Always fall to the ground
A warning Friday morning, bad advice abounds
Carrying a weight, I collapse without a sound
Don’t blame me if I was holding back on you because
You think that I’m behind you, but when you turn around I
Always fall to the ground

Lovely

Getting down, getting down, hanging loose in my big town
hear a sound hear a sound don't need t turn around
Skinny girls say with a silent scream
'be yourself be yourself', like I should know what that means
I've begun I've begun forgetting all I've heard
You're the one you're the one who can write it down in words
Shouldn't have to pretend, cause you're at your wit's end
Whoever you want to be, be them with me
Shouldn't paint the world black, this monkey's on my back
Never have to worry, cause it's all lovely
Anyone anyone is there anyone to trust?
Can't believe that our parents lied to us
Look around look around there are many more the same
Wannabes wanna be by any other name
Shouldn't have to pretend, cause you're at your wit's end
Whoever you want to be, be them with me
Shouldn't paint the world black, this monkey's on my back
Shouldn't have to worry, cause it's all lovely
I believe I believe these are only plastic wings
I believe I believe more or less nothing
Shouldn't have to pretend, cause you're at your wit's end
Whoever you want to be, be them with me
Shouldn't paint the world black, this monkey's on my back
Never have to worry, cause it's all lovely

Family Photo

See this photo of my family
Tragedy is what we call the spaces in between
Pleasant dreams are not for me but for my next of kin
Born in sin my next of kin
In my days, in my days, people saw it their own way, people saw it their own way
In my days, in my days, people saw it their own way
In a family photo kind of way
Listen to the voice is your head
From the dead you can hear the stories good and bad
Just like your dad you give yourself permission to be proud
You're allowed just to be proud
In my days, in my days, people heard it their own way, people heard it their own way
In my days, in my days, people heard it their own way
In a family photo kind of way
Seek to comfort them without a sound
I have found good intentions often seem empty
Can't you see that a picture speaks a thousand words
All have heard ten thousand words
In my days, in my days, people spoke their own way, people spoke in their own way
In my days, in my days, people spoke in their own way
In a family photo kind of way

Be Here Now
05:55

As we lie through our teeth and say our vows, be here now
Reunited six feet underground, be here now
Just as we stand up to take our bows, be here now
Emily's happy and it's good to see
She's been nothing but good to me
She's been nothing but good to me
She's shifting shape, man, listen to her wail
Peace of mind arrived in the mail
Out in the garden, out in the sunshine
Forget about, expending your time
She's asking me to allay her doubts
Tell her what it's all about
I wanna wake up as a different man
Peel back the face, damn there I am!
Out in the garden, out in the sunshine
Forget about, expending your time
As we lie through our teeth and say our vows, be here now
Reunited six feet underground, be here now
Just as we stand up to take our bows, be here now
Be here now
Emily's awake as the daylight breaks
What a difference a dream can make
She's shifting shape, man, listen to her wail
Peace of mind arrived in the mail
As we lie through our teeth and say our vows, be here now
Reunited six feet underground, be here now
Just as we stand up to take our bows, be here now
Be here now

Wake Up Mary
03:37
|

Wake up Mary, wake up don't waste your
life's not scary, though they call you a whore
Don't settle for the kitchen sink
Don't settle for the burning blanket fort
I've been thinking how you grew up so
Quicksand sinking, soon we'll both be too old
to waste our time, we're too old
To kneel before a burning blanket fort
I'll take your advice if you take it for yourself for once
You call me Mary, I only call you when I am drunk
Thinking of careless love
It's not careless, all this truth said in jest
I know you care more than you dare confess
Let's settle for here and now
Let's settle for all that's burning
all that's burning, all that's burning, all that's burning
all that's burning down

Silver Town

Going to the silver town
Going to sell this temple ounce for ounce and pound for pound
Going to another realm
Going to feel electric psychic trances overwhelm
Met a wizard on the road
Said he knows the way and what he knows he can't unknow
Going to be born again
Meditate real good enjoy the fruits of rainbow zen
Been to see the silver town
Been to see the circus joined as their crying clown
Been to all the other realms
Been in love but I'm still trying hard to love myself
Going to the silver town
Going to sell this temple ounce for ounce and pound for pound
Going to another realm
Going to feel electric psychic trances overwhelm
Been to see the silver town
Been to see the circus joined as their crying clown
Been to all the other realms
Been in love but I'm still trying hard to love myself

How Do You Like It
05:41

What a night, crystal lights, hanging over head
Hazel eyes, they excite, hearing what i said
Can't explain, all the pain, where did they attack you?
Let me see, a masterpiece, wasted on a tattoo
Ah how do you like it?
Ah how do you like it?
I can see, that you're free, in your own skin
Let it out, think about, what you're letting in
Ah how do you like it?
Ah how do you like it?
All is broken, all is fair
Lonley bliss, shared dispair
Terrors lurking, everywhere
What a night, crystal lights, hanging over head
(Ah how do you like it?)
Hazel eyes, they excite, hearing what i said
(Ah how do you like it?)

Dream/Sex/Head

I opened up my eyes, just to squint, at the screen
People using stones and flint to spark another meme
But now's my chance to put on pants and a coat of self esteem
Tussel my hair, don't want to go out there
I was having such a nice..
The end of the night turns it on, the animal reflex
The sun dips down, I roll into town, step into my god complex
Feast of fools, family jewels, let's shuffle cut the decks
I wanna play em right and cut shapes tonight
Cause i'd really like to get me some..
I opened up my eyes, just to squint but all I see is red
I'm coming to, I should be seeing blue, but I'm in a cage instead
Too young and green for that life in pink, somehow the colours bled
I was not allowed but like a thundercloud
These things go over my..

Falling
04:10
|
|||
Feel my hands, know that there's work to be done
I can't just cover and run
Hold my head, know that it's heavy with doubt
I've got to figure it out
But i can't figure it out
Can't figure it out
I'm falling away
Lead me out, don't leave me lost in my mind
Cause my thoughts are not kind
I don't want to know what my hands could have sewn
I should be left alone
See my face, and know that there's no mask on me
I'm not who they want me to be
Hear my words, and know that I'll stand where I stand
There's no chain of command
But I can't figure it out
Can't figure it out
I can't figure it out
