Success
Dreams of long life What safety can you find See the great unknown That's shade for miles Good eye I'm a good guy Dreams of long life What safety can you find If the sea was that strong Maybe we had Maybe we had to fly Was a good try I'm a good guy As high as the day I read the papers Before crime will pay I'll learn to bury most beliefs
Somebody make me say no, no Somebody make me say no, no Somebody make me say no, no Somebody make me say no, no, no, yes
I have succeeded I won't believe for long I'm not supposed to show you I've got two secrets But I only told you one
I have succeeded I won't believe for long I'm not supposed to show you I've got two secrets But I only told you one I'm not supposed to show you
Dreams of long life What safety can you buy If the sea was that strong Maybe we had Maybe we had to fly
I'm not supposed to show you I'm not supposed to I'm not supposed to show you I'm not supposed to
Memory Serves It would be so nice to take you I only ever try to make you smile No matter what We're gonna keep you occupied But only at your place Only at your place It would be no price to pay I only ever lie to make you smile All kinds of dust Are gonna keep me satisfied But only at your place Only at your place Tonight a special memory serves me And I'll wait to find the wrong way Tonight a special memory serves me And I'll wait to find It's over, it's over Feels like, the feeling is like It's over Why is it so hard to stay away?
Tonight a special memory serves me And I'll wait to find that I'm gray Tonight is special I only memorize those things I deny And I forget why it'll sing, seize the day Don't have to say that you'd love to But they'd be pleased that you want to Someday It would be no price to pay It would be no price to pay Don't have to say that you'd love to But they'd be pleased that you want to Someday
Summer Well
The fevered plastics that seal your body They won't stop this rain, hey, hey I was your eye in the night when the prophets fell I said it looks like you summer well I want to stay magical I want to stay yearning I want to feel up on your life I miss you but it looks like you summered well All the while the protest will shine the same But you will never notice, it's alright I rely on the process, the mind, the frame They will never take this dream from me It's alright, when they get back It's alright And it's all the way behind us It's alright I miss you, babe, and I want you back The signs we gave, weren't those signs supposed to last? The rainy days, the summers back The signs we gave, so what was that? It's alright It's alright You know that we have ways You sent me To make the seasons touch these words It's alright So let me take this, cover your eyes, we'll go Wait until it fades You sent me It's alright All the while the protest will shine the same It's alright But you will never notice, it's alright It's alright I rely on the process, the mind, the frame They will never take this dream from me You sent me
Lights All that I see Show me your ways Teach me to meet my desires With some grace All that I fear, don't turn away And leave me to plead In this hole of a place What if I never break Estuary won't you take me Far away, far away All that I seek Please police me I want you to police me But keep it clean Now that you meet my day Now let's take them away (That's why I hold you) Strong as you've seen Old as you behave (That's why I hold you) You will always obey (That's why I hold you) All that I feel, capital ways Teach me to grieve and conspire With my age
All that I can see A gold mystic spree A seething routine I could never navigate Maybe I like to stray No harm it seems to be less so free, not today It's like you want it that way All that I see Is peaceful eyes drawn away from me Drawn away from me We would like to take the sights (That's why I hold you) And bring silence in disguise (That's why I hold you, dear) We would like to meet the buyer (That's why I hold you) That is on your life That's why I hold you That's why I hold you That is why I hold you That's why I hold you That is why I hold you, dear
Barricade I did not take to analysis So I had to make up my mind And hold it for a while I would not just leave you without a kiss But I guess there must come a time When there's no more tears to cry
It starts to feel like a barricade To keep us away, to keep us away It kind of does It starts to feel like a barricade To keep us away, keep us away
Thieves and snakes need homes Need homes, barricade
Full speed, half blind Full tilt, decline We turn to past times Full speed, half blind
It starts to feel like a barricade To keep us away, to keep us away It kind of does It starts to feel like a barricade To keep us away, keep us away
You know us You know us And we said I'm sorry Say, I'm sorry
I could not lean on the politics 'Cause I didn't want to train my eye To hold so short a time
Sometimes it feels like a barricade To keep us away, keep us away It kind of does How much fear can you fabricate To keep us away, keep us away You know us
Oh so high, just don't know Where the blind could lead the sightless But I still like to witness Thieves and snakes need homes Need homes, barricade
Full speed, half blind Full tilt, decline We turn to past times Full speed, half blind
Always Malaise (the Man I Am) Always you need me, lover For always release me, lover I want to give you the lowdown I want to give you the face to face Always is all I can give Isn't quite what you take me for I'll act in a certain way I control what I can That's the man I am Well, it pains me to say And I do what I can That's the man I am Always, always, always Always release me, lover I want to give you the face to face (Won't let you go) (Won't let you go) (What'll you do?) I want to miss some more I'll relax in a certain way I control what I can That's the man I am (Clearing out of the shade)
Well, it pains me to say And I do what I can (Coming out of the rain) That's the man I am (Clearing out of the shade) That's the man I am Coming out of the rain Clearing out of the shade All that you've known Be as it may All that you've shown Reach in and try all day (Coming out of the rain) I wanna try all day (Clearing out of the shade) All that I've known is you'll be okay Follow your soul and it tells you to fly away (Coming out of the rain) I wanna fly all day (Clearing out of the shade) All that you've known Be as it may All that you've shone Reach in and shine all day (Coming out of the rain) I wanna shine all day (Clearing out of the shade)
Safe Without I'm not the hero out the gates So much to feel, so much to gain My higher reason will take aim I'll be okay, I've got my shapes We are not alone we share our stake I think the winter will be wonderful I am safe without it I am safe without it I am safe without I am safe without it I am safe without it I am safe without Go alone, we'll skip the chase It's go the road or drop the weight There's no allegiance left to take As great big sheets disintegrate In the water, in the water I am safe without it I am safe without it I am safe without I am safe without it I am safe without it I am safe without But I feel this way Feel this way I steal, I heal and I do it again Over and over and over and over
Try It On I need the sunlight To keep me above These moderations I always hoped for Did all this work for Some peace of mind And just because on this side You wanna see that There's no change Somewhere to stay Well, if you're right I'll put my keys back There's no change And no hand to play Please explore my love's endurance And stay, stay Please endure my love's exhortations No way, no fucking way, no On this side You wanna see that There's no change And somewhere to stay
On this side You're gonna see that There's no change Nowhere to stay Oh, please, please try it on Oh, please, please try it on On this side You're gonna see that There's no change And nowhere to stay But if you're right I'll put my keys back There's no change Nowhere to stay There's nowhere to stay Nowhere to stay There's nowhere to stay Nowhere to stay There's nowhere to stay Nowhere to stay
All Of The Ways Tell me you're mine Tell me you're mine to break the ice Does he make you smile? Does he fully embrace the way Does he leave you to the flames That you like, who is this guy? This twee neophyte Does he know that I'll wait for all time Does he make you right Does he say that he'd like to know you Does he say that he wants to know All of the ways You will make it up Make it up for me Make it up for me Tell me you're fine Tell me it's hard to fake it time after time Who is this guy Does he say that he'd like to know you Does he say that he wants to know Does he say that he wants to know
All of the ways You will make it up Make it up for me Make it up for me I know the way you will make it up Make it up for me I know the way you will make it up Make it up for me I know and I know the way you will make it up Make it up for me I know and I know the way you will make it up Make it up for me
The Undoing I was on my way I was on my way to tell you it's no good I was on my way Chasing my damage I was chased, thrilled and altered Chasing my damage Because I was chased, thrilled and altered And it raised me Suele tener, me suelto Me suelto en el deshacer Al puro perder el ganar no compara Me suelto, me suelto en el deshacer I always thought you had great style Great style and style was worthwhile Because I was, I was on my way Sobrevivir Chasing my damage Chasing, I was chased, thrilled and altered And it raised me Chasing my damage Because I was chased, thrilled and altered And it raised me Suele tener, me suelto Me suelto en el deshacer Al puro perder el ganar no compara Please, please the place we're in now, please...
