The Blanket Days
04:15
|
|
||
The static times between the breaths of those in awe
Trick the sensors, blind the guards, and get away scot-free
Bad intrusion names the game the stillness plays
With bragging rights gripping tight in stifling degree
Lone valley drives divide the mountains and the highs
Keep us dreaming that we could fly and get away scot-free
True elusion never stays the blanket days
It always gives in, it always gives in
Ahead! See the blur of red
A distance to be fed
We cannot look away
We cannot look ahead
See the blur of red
A distance to be fed
We cannot look away
The quiet nights between the troubles and the tries
Keep us dreaming.They make our days and break away scot-free
True elusion never stays the blanket days
It always gives in, it always gives in
Ahead! See the blur of red
A distance to be fed
We cannot look away
We cannot look ahead
See the blur of red
A distance to be fed
We cannot look away
We cannot look ahead

Ruling the world
Taking it as you please
I made it myself
Got the dollars up to my knees
Hands on the table
Giving them what they need
You build us a glass ceiling
Across the world
Hands on the table
They can never get enough
They can never get enough
You are what you want
Leading the way
Showing off your dreams
You know it's alright
Just working the in-betweens
Hands around the table
Calling it just in time
You shine in our eyes
Until we're blinded by all of the lights
Mouths around the table
They can never earn enough
They can never earn enough
They can never get enough
You are what you want
You want what I'm givin'
I know you want it

Runners

From the west the breeze is blowing
Through your veins your blood is flowing
You run to get to what you want
You run like you don't know better
Always
Such a surprise
You're living the lies you tell
Always playing the game
You make up the rules as you play
You look around, you think you're apart
But everyone is right where you are
In the dark, all so shapeless
From your mind you made up faces
You run to get away
You run so you never have to know
No, no, no
Oh, what a surprise
You're loving the lies they're telling you
Always playing the game
You're making up the rules as you play
You look around, you think you're apart
But everyone is right where you are

Wherever You Go

|

Hello.
Can you hear me?
Come in!
Are you feeling?
A million miles to go
Before you're home
I'm held to the ground
But you've got stars all around
And I want to be
Wherever you go
I make a thousand waves
Do they touch you?
Calling out
Moving through the dark
And I want to be
Wherever you go

The Same
04:02
|
|

On a day like today
The sunshine comes with the rain
With the clouds coming 'round
Night and day look the same
Ooo, baby
Oh the distance from here to there
Feels the same anywhere
An ocean to the moon
Like you stand across the room
Ooo, my baby
On a day like today
The tenderness and the pain
With the world spinning around
Everything looks the same
Ooo, my baby
With the world spinning around
Everything looks the same

DITCH DIGGER

You're looking over the edge
You're thinking, “How can there not be a bottom?”
You know you want to not want to fall in
But you can't not
You can't
The fall starts slow
So you dig in deeper
DITCH DIGGER
You keep looking back up at me
I don't think you're getting out
DITCH DIGGER
Oh, how can you ask for more?
How can you?!
A mile down and the quiet ringing out
Ooo
Maybe it's not too late to pretend it never happened
Maybe it's not too late to pretend it never happened
Maybe it's not too late
It's darker than you could have known
I don't think you're getting out
DITCH DIGGER
No one knows how far you'll go
You're gonna find out for yourself
DITCH DIGGER

Sugar Spoon

For every medicine
I got a sugar spoon
When the darkness comes
I burn out all the lights
For every unknown face
I got a bigger wall
When the sun gets hot
I got my shades drawn
I believe
What you say, so
I'll come running
If you say so
In any language
I speak the Word of Mouth
For every whole I dig
I know the way out
I believe
What you say, so
I'll come running
If you say so
The battle's at my door
Who do they think they are?
I'm a soldier
I believe
What you say, so
I'll come running
If you say so

Your Friend
04:22

I never wanted you
I never wanted you
But you come around
I never wanted you
I never wanted you
But you come around
Yeah, you come around
And you fill my home with the sound
Of my heart breaking
I never wanted to
I never wanted to
But you carry on
Yeah, you carry on
And you take my love until it's gone
To ground
And I could never be your friend
No, I could never be your friend
I never wanted to
I never wanted you
But you whisper to me
Yeah, you whisper to me
That all of this was meant to be
My love
And I could never be your friend
No, I could never be your friend
I could never be your friend
But I'll be here in the end

Pretty One

Calling me closer to
One by one, through and through
My body wants to know it
My body wants to know it's true
Bit into the aftertaste
I'll never taste again
Ran into the aftermath
I'll count back to the end
Every kingdom will collapse
Every star will burn out bright
Everyone wants to kick you out
Everyone wants to make it right
The walls along the way
Scratch and shred my skin
You love to make it harder
Yeah, you love to make it harder
Make desire make me thin
Bit into the aftertaste
I'll never taste again
Ran into the aftermath
I'll count back 'til the end
Every kingdom will collapse
Every star will burn out bright
Everyone wants to kick you out
Everyone wants to make it right
I can see the world spinning
It's blurring all the time
Ambition sees your winning hands
You wring us 'til we're dry
I can see the world spinning
It's blurring all the time
