I know that I can’t tell you This light is slowly fading Like mail that was never dated From towns that were burned and raided And lost without a soul With you forever more I’m sorry but I can’t tell you I feel like a pattern A shape that will never matter A color that will never flatter It’s all gonna come around It’s all gonna make your eyes burn I really wanna tell you That love is like a furnace That burns in and out of purpose So hot that it makes me nervous So large that it won’t cool out So big that it can’t burn out I wait sixteen, a Saturday love My heart beats fast, in far away love Your eyes so pure, they never grow up You stay with me, we never grow up My love I know that I can’t tell you My mind is running circles My eyes have begun to swirl Like death that is not as sterile I ain’t gonna let you down I ain’t gonna let you leave me I’m sorry but I can’t tell you That life that it makes me crazy So I just like to daydream Cause dreams yeah they make me happy Will you come along, my love? Will you come along here with me? I wait sixteen, a Saturday love My heart beats fast, in far away love Your eyes so pure, they never grow up You stay with me, we never grow up My love
There is a crowd in here, that fooled themselves They brought their friends and they made their hell They faked their grin in a lonely cell To the bitter end But what do I know?
When God falls fast asleep The kids still move to a steady beat Even if it’s bombs landing at their feet Are all around I’m just saying that this time I feel it now
When God falls fast asleep The kids still dance in city streets From the White House lawn to the Middle East And all around I’m just sayin’ that this time I feel it now
There are a few good here, that hurt themselves They kick and been in a dried up well They call for help and you know them well Are you aware? But what do I know?
There is a place to hide, it’s in our minds, it’s in the dark It’s well known that we have a fragile heart It’s deep inside It has a sound that you can follow
When God falls fast asleep The kids still move to a steady beat Even if it’s bombs landing at their feet Are all around I’m just saying that this time I feel it now
I will not surrender No, I will not surrender When God falls fast asleep The kids still dance in city streets From the White House lawn to the Middle East And all around I’m just sayin’ that this time I feel it now
You feel like you hit a wall, but you survive And it was hard for you to swallow I’ve been to that place before, in spite of luck When you awake, a new tomorrow I will not surrender No, I will not surrender
Anxiety…Don’t pressure us... Faster… I dream in speeds of ashes My heart it beats and crashes I’m running from the truth, cause it fucks with my mind Waiting… We’re silly, we’re so reckless The city it’s so heartless. A bottle full of crude that washed up in the tide Don’t pressure us, anxiety. I’m a passenger So serious, anxiety. Just a passenger Handsome and callous, young believers Hidin’, plottin’ schemers And rotting out like fruit, that was left here to die Talkin’, playin’ after hours Time is bending outward And falling to my knees To crawl home safe inside Don’t pressure us, anxiety. I’m a passenger So dangerous, anxiety. Just a passenger Don’t pressure us, anxiety. I’m a passenger So serious, anxiety. Just a passenger Don’t pressure us.
I made tonight a memory I can walk for miles and miles I left a shadow at her feet I can see her all alone The night itself, a reverie I can dream this out for a while I keep her lost in lock and key Cause she’s just my kind of style She takes my hand and leads me in It is not over She sets the mood so I begin And I walk over She speaks a word to make me grin Can I please have her? We grab a hold to brace the end This is what I am speaking of I made tonight a memory Yeah you took me higher and higher You make it hard for me to leave But I’m coming back to you She takes my hand and leads me in It is not over She sets the mood so I begin And I walk over She speaks a word to make me grin Can I please have her? We grab ahold to brace the end This is what I am speaking of I crawled my way back in your head To hear you speak and dream again To touch your lips from deep within A bit like love, a heroine I’ll cross the grave, invite the bends Carry you out when the world ends I’ll crash away and lose you when You’re in my arms just like the wind
There’s something you said A whirlwind, a voice Together you said But I have no choice Oh please, stay a while God I love your smile I never felt alone But here feels like hell When I’m on my own And you’re all I feel Oh please, stay a while God I love your smile A rat in a cage A stone in a stream I float far away I live in a dream Oh please, stay a while God I love your smile And how about that thing You do when you’re awake A laugh with a sting A bite from a snake Oh please, stay a while God I love your smile
A waterfall, a wonderful bliss But a teardrop falls You say your goodbye It means nothing I say that we tried and we gave our all You fall to the floor I’m not buying I’m not for this and all you ever so is stall And I am so damn sick of trying And now we are fucked cause we’ve wrecked it all I will not save you
So dry your eyes Get on your feet, don’t pretend to cry Or fix you and I Yeah, we’re here again So follow me in Today is the day it ends
Can you tell me your name, there? Are you calling me out? Are you walking my way? Are you losing your faith?
It’s a little late, in a little while Can we forget about it? With a little lake of a little fire We’ll take the fun out of it
Can you tell me your name, there? Does the cat have your tongue? Are you calling someone? Are you waiting to run?
Cause you make lots of noise, there Are you looking for buyers? Or a group of more liars? Are you using your faith?
Pour a little wine, take a little kneel Pack a winter bag and wallet Get a bit of ice and a heavy meal There is no easy way out
When the show will arrive It will be right on time So you better sit tight It’ll be a great ride
When we all have a choice, then Will you act like a man? Will you raise up your hands? When the shit hits the fan?
As you pray for the end to come All you’ll get is a marching line As you wait for the hounds of hell You’ll be in for a big surprise
Where we goin’? Come on over No one’s dying We’re fine
Turning white as a ghost As the air leaves your throat Will you throw me a rope? Or go at it alone?
Cause the end it will never come But we’re in for a few hard times And we’ll get knocked up, down and done But the truth is we’re still alive
I can’t complain It’s been good, not great But the time flew by It came from behind, it was flying It was hard to hold on, every time we’d fight And though it would end, it’s exhausting It left cracks that would grow in and out of mine
And into your heart like a virus It would crawl and would crawl as we lay there blind It broke you and I So dry your eyes Get on your feet, don’t pretend to cry Or fix you and I Yeah, we’re here again So follow me in Today is the day it ends Today it ends
You’re a liar You wear a gun, makes you look bigger You scare the crowd, don’t you feel smarter Like a little kid, you play with fire You do your part, you do it all But those words from your mouth, they are scary And the hate that you have, that you carry It will grow and will grow ‘til we’re buried You’re so clever If this is war, it’s like no other If there is blame, it’s on each other I hear the cries, they last forever We did our part, we came along But those words from your mouth, they are scary And the hate that you have, that you carry It will grow and will grow ‘til we’re buried And there will be nothing left except sadness And a scar without words, without anything Cause we’ve done this before This is madness I am sorry But those words from your mouth, they are scary And the hate that you have, that you carry It will grow and will grow, ‘til we’re buried And there will be nothing left, except sadness And a scar without words, without anything Cause we’ve done this before, this is madness This is wrong, this is us, this is happening But we’ve done this before, but we’re standing We’re still standing And we’ve done this before, but we’re standing
Chalked up in a city street Broke glass and a bloody scene Young guns that are half my age From Baghdad up to Monterey Cell phones and the magazines Death, bombs, and with human beings Hate, war, and diamond rings Nightmares of silly things How does anybody sleep at night? Out of mind but not out of sight Out of love and we’ve just begun Living large in America But I found one last thing to believe in Close calls and we’re holding on Police lines and fire alarms High winds with a heavy fall Dead birds in a parking stall How does anybody sleep at night? I lay in bed and I close my eyes I kind of rest but it starts to hurt Living here is a lot of work But I found one last thing to believe in
And when time is right It’s gonna change the world And with the darkened sky There is nothing fertile And there is no more love Or fucking gates of pearl I see the seven stars I see the seven stands I hear the deathly voice I count the sins we have I am the living one I am the first and last The crowds, the noise The change of the guard It’s such a strange celebration Kids, they laugh as fire it eats up the world It’s such a strange celebration All our eyes are burned by heaven and earth It’s such a strange celebration And they know who we are The seven angels sing And several billion die With the earth shaking Yeah they know who we are And they will set us free The crowds, the noise The change of the guard It’s such a strange celebration Kids, they laugh as fire it eats up the world It’s such a strange celebration All our eyes are burned by heaven
The ice is really cold, the streetlights really old Her child’s all alone, as she melts into her own And slowly fades away, into a river full of shame But at least numb to the pain Can you see it? Can you feel the shallow wave? From a needle to the grave From her hell to far away You’re my only You’re so sad my valentine On your journey to the light But first straight to the fire And we are, all that we are Holding on, till we fall apart We are all that we are
