I’m floating, and something’s reaching out Vibrations, can you hear them now? Please help us, we’re running out of time My brothers, we are deathly out of line I feel you, in a far off distant land We fucked up, let’s give ourselves a hand It’s over, from the heavens on down Heard footsteps, God’s coming around I got an ache like a cat thief’s got an alarm It’s got a sound like a gunshot over and over I’ve got a voice so lost off the back in my head It takes the heart rate up then down even more I’ve got my friends face down like a kid in the dark They’ve got the same fear built up more even more I’ve let my eyes bright up like a predator shark To let my mind close down every hour by hour Finally I get this feeling we’re all alone in one big world Just to realize that all these shapes and colors are So it doesn’t hurt so badly So life doesn’t hurt, doesn’t hurt so badly Please don’t look at life, look at me so sadly Life shouldn’t hurt, doesn’t hurt so badly Do you feel light shine in the darkest of nights? Or does the pain stack up from the skin to the core? Do you find every time that you cover your eyes To keep the tears held up, dripping down even more Let the words come down, every line in the sight You put the young flames out it makes you cower and cower If the sun breaks in to start a spark and a sign I promise you’ll be here to let the light in Finally I get this feeling we’re all alone in one big world Just to realize that all these shapes and colors are So it doesn’t hurt so badly So life doesn’t hurt, doesn’t hurt so badly Please don’t look at life, look at me so sadly Life shouldn’t hurt, doesn’t hurt so badly
I’m not the one to complain of bad dreams It’s like disease, but without a life It’s all a scene with a straight directive That we’re all lost and we’re stuck in time We feel alone in a strange blue ocean And we’re all scared as death to die
I’m not the one to admit it’s helpless I have a sense that we will be alright I wish for peace with electric silence To keep our hearts beating on our minds And we will see that we’re all connected When we awake to the tunnel’s light Suit up boys we’re on vacation With endless stay and reservations Saddest girls who will await while dying inside How will they get by?
Suit up boys let’s ride it’s the weekend Get down girls and dance with your best friend Show yourselves and take what you ask for Let it go no fights on the dance floor The night gets better, the wait’s so wonderful They move together and dance so colorful And kiss like flowers that breathe with pheromones Songs get louder it feels so natural
Forget the things that you own And travel almost anywhere you can go Dance across the tree tips, set them ablaze Soaking in their pleasant warm summer haze And weeping on her streets and school city blocks And finding streams on her while you’re skipping rocks And feeding on her touch as it will barely keep you alive She said, show me the world that’s inside your head Show me the world that you see yourself, you could use some help Cause sometimes it comes with a shove, when you fall in love It can be so bold and so cavalier To reach out to the fire her soul’s sending here It can be like death that blows like a breeze Making all ones strength go weak at the knees I hate to feel the shallow ground giving way I’ve never let myself fall this much astray And feeding on her touch is all one does to survive She said show me the world that’s inside your head, Show me the world that you see yourself, you could use some help Cause sometimes it comes with a shove, when you fall in love She said show me the world that’s inside your head, Tell me your secrets of life and death, and your one regret Cause sometimes it comes with a shove, when you fall in love If you’re ever alone, then your heart will know It can call to mine, and I’ll be at your side If you’re ever alone, then your heart will know It can reach to mine, I’ll be at your side
And by design it is full of holes And it’s full of pain, loss, and violent criminals With a little fate and the worst of lies With a love so deep it’s war with endless fire inside Go right back to the line Every single day, every nine to five Everybody works it hard, but then we finally die And there’s no remorse or the slightest sound We’re forever cool with the way it all breaks up and down Let’s start a riot Nobody’s right, nobody’s wrong Life’s just a game it’s just one epic holiday However this takes us along Take us away, it’s just one epic holiday On a Sunday rain, like a lonely ghost And the furthest point from here is right outside the door Open up your eyes, take a breath you will And the sun is still alive even though it’s hard to tell Let’s start a riot Nobody’s right, nobody’s wrong Life’s just a game it’s just one epic holiday However this takes us along Take us away, it’s just one epic holiday
If you look real close, across the lines and the roads It is there to decode What you thought was a ghost, or a spark to explode It’s the start of the show It’s the part you love most When your heart will implode within Do you believe in hallucinations? Silly dreams or imagination Don’t go away cause I feel you this time Don’t go away cause I need you here this time As the wind floats home, carry us back to shore And up the mountainous coast Where the sun starts to glow, from our head to our toes To the stars, that we know And with you as my host, it will keep us afloat Begin… Do you believe in hallucinations? Silly dreams or imagination Don’t go away cause I feel you this time Don’t go away cause I need you here this time Do you believe in hallucinations? Any dream or its revelation Don’t go away cause I need you here this time Don’t go away cause I’m making you all mine The silence is taxing I’m waiting for something There’s images of love and war And everything’s here to explore It’s all unlike the usual A different place but beautiful And it is not quite as it seems I hear the children’s laughs and screams It’s beautiful
It’s like the day has turned to rust Like every dream’s been sealed shut Like every door is closed before we’ve gotten out As bullets rip the air in two from house to house We are all that we are, so terribly sorry The moon you’ve felt, it has no side That’s dark like hell, or safe from light Just blown apart, by wind from stars With white dust tides to pull on ours
Oh I know you well, all your life I’ve watched you breathe, I’ve watched you lie Across the scene, through space and time Through every year, of every kind I wait like snow, on the eve of spring I can out last cold, can you out last me? Every word you say, is a perfect thing It’s a perfect time, for the perfect line And you, you’re all I desire And you, this clever love won’t tire
We are all that we are, so terribly sorry
Oh I’ve felt your spell, and all the like It’s been like hell, every single time The cycle goes, in and out of mind In and out of fear, of getting left behind They kill as well, I bear in mind Every word I say, is a silent thing And a solid wish, will you lay with me?
The moon you’ve felt, it has no side That’s dark like hell, or safe from light Just blown apart, by wind from stars With white dust tides to pull on ours
And you, you’re all I desire And you, this clever love won’t tire And you, you’re all I desire And you , our clever love caught fire
I see the crowds they’re giving way For some they’re better off that day The bombs blew off with shells, they’re glowing red at first The less there is to feel each night upon the earth
You, you’re all that I want You’re all that I need My everything
I am a ghost, this is a dream There’s something here, it calls to me I sense it because it’s always there So silent as I stare and stare There is a light, when we’re asleep We bury doors, with locks and keys With feelings of our hopes and fears As sounds explode within our ears Like stars at night , falling fast asleep Or a risen sun, waiting patiently You can feel it because it’s always there Growing stronger as you stare and stare Like love and lies, shake violently Down to the core, to foster grief It has a way to keep me down I gotta say it wears me out So sadly soul survivors Lost and lonely in open water Help I’m losing, help I’m falling Life is silent, the earth is calling Every reason, every night time And every day starts and ends in sunlight But I’m not okay, this vicious cycle Something’s broken, and seems unnatural These shapes are wondrous, but loosely woven The sounds are deafening, and time is frozen So sadly, soul survivors Lost and lonely in open water
All the phones have rung and rung They’re off the hook, all but one And all the mail stacked up inside Up from the floor, a mile high And like one would, like a child I am asking Like I could knock on your door Will you let me in? And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die I found out the truth is it’s all a big lie I find that the words are hard to describe I tell you I’m lost here, awaiting reply Climbing trees and paper planes Life as a kid, we’re all the same Tears of joy, and sullen hearts Sticks and stones and broken arms And like one would, like a child I am asking Like I could knock on your door Will you let me in? And dear God, I found out the same things we learn when we die I found out the truth is it’s all a big lie I find that the words are hard to describe I tell you I’m lost here, awaiting reply I found out what’s wrong, and it’s not you or I Or anyone else that you chose to deny It seems like the madness of choice in the lie Has made it unclear if we run or we hide
Cars crash through the streets The west end waves break city heats The east coast storms fill in the sky Winter weekends Cold, unbearable Life’s so terrible Shots ring out in blind stellar night time Town lights come alive like a land mine Eyes wide up in five second intervals Unpredictable, life’s a miracle We all are love and love is hard We’re hard to love We all are love and love is hard It breaks my heart We all are love and love is hard We’re hard to love We all are love and love is hard So here’s my heart I can’t close my eyes The east end girls, it’s summer time The west coast lives got butterflies So literal Cold, unbearable Life’s so terrible Kids live fearlessly and curious lives Grow up to be so serious Lost time, broken dreams So usual Unpredictable, life’s a miracle We all are love and love is hard We’re hard to love We all are love and love is hard It breaks my heart We all are love and love is hard We’re hard to love We all are love and love is hard So here’s my heart It’s lonely this cycle, it’s deafening loud This age old recital is king of all sounds There is no release, we are silently numb A subtle rolling wave with a wake that’s yet to come
