Passion Pit

we dug these holes we crawled into now they're my home
now here i cannot feel the wind, cant feel the rain oh no
and i believe in gentle harmony
well how i loathe all this obscenity
is this the way my life has got to be?
have i a single opportunity?
look at me oh look at me is this the way i'll always be
oh no, oh no
now i pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me
oh no, oh no
everyday i lie awake and pray to god today's the day
oh no, oh no
here i am oh here i am oh when will someone understand?
oh no, oh no
and all at once i feel this, oh how it clings to me
it reels and calls me towards it, confounding destiny
and i can feel the madness inch by inch
the more i run the more i am convinced
a color all these like the branches glimpse
just like the saddle in the foggy mist
look at me oh look at me is this the way i'll always be
oh no, oh no
now i pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me
oh no, oh no
and everyday i lie awake and pray to god today's the day
oh no, oh no
here i am oh here i am oh when will someone understand?
oh no, oh no
look at me oh look at me is this the way i'll always be
oh no, oh no
now i pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me
oh no, oh no
and everyday i lie awake and pray to god today's the day
oh no, oh no
here i am oh here i am oh when will someone understand?
oh no, oh no

When I came down the sun poured into me
I shook em up, the walls came crumbling
my fists kept trembling with these salty wounds
my stolen gold inside the emperors tomb
now baby wait looks like a lovely face
I built this cardboard neighborhoods disgrace
who let it said that you're my favorite sphere
within the confines of such chemistry

It's the way I see everything I need
It's the way to be

Let this be our little secrets
No one needs to know were feeling
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
Up and up I keep on coming
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher
Higher ...

My face blew up at such a casual sight
this miracle is of ecstatic fright
they'll rush above me to oblivion
outlining white sidewalks with halogen
oh have you ever felt so god damn strong
how come it takes some people so damn long
he tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
the citrus drawing out the seasons stains

Watch the basin drain
as your life lines wane
and you cant explain
as your friends complain
you've caused all this pain
and you proudly shame
your whole families name

Let this be our little secrets
no one needs to know were feeling
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher
but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up i keep on coming ?
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher

Mother i can tell what you've been thinking
staring at the stars on your ceiling
thinking once there was a power that you were wielding
and now ive hit the mark
staring at the dark
and i cannot help but ignore
the people staring at my scars

Let this be our little secret
no one needs to know were feeling
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher
but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up and keep on coming
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher
(repeat)

Dear friend as you know
Your flowers are withering
Your mother's gone missing
Your leaves have drifted away

But the clouds are clearing up
And I've come reveling
Burning incandescently
Like a bastard on the burning sea

You're just like your father
Buried deep under the water
Your resting on your laurels
Is stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyway?
Put down your sword and crown
Come lay with me on the ground

You come beating like moth's wings
Spastic and violently
Whipping me into a storm
Shaking me down to the core
But you run away from me
And you left me shimmering
Like diamond wedding rings
Spinning dizzily down on the floor

You're drifting like a fire
Buried deep under the water
You're pressing on your laurel
Is stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyway?
Put down your sword and crown
Come lay with me on the ground.
Come lay with me on the ground.

My world astir and sickly
Spits out our voices, singing
Tra la la la, oh, no no
To kingdom come so slightly
Here in the void in your place
I twitch and tweak in illusion
To sit and stare so blankly
Until all hope is used up
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?
Where do you go when I'm around?
What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating?
And have the nerve to wear the crown?
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Some guarded room, smoky figure fills me full
Makes my head swell in ruin
My family kneels at the pew
They nod, ""We believe in what you're doing""
I feel it rise above me
The western landscapes, towering
And from my shell of a body
The flowers blossom for picking
Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?
Where do you go when I'm around?
What have I done, what have I lost that's so defeating?
And have the nerve to wear the crown?
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
Na, na, na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey
I've waited and waited for someone to take it
Don't fight it, don't bother, an inch for another
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together
I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction
I've painted your patterns but found them attractive
Now I've been leaning towards a life far more candid
Thrown up through the darkness, your eyes as my candles
And your life, and my life, directions can render
And all of a sudden you left me to handle
The reasons that never forbid me to step out
And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret
To say it aloud without actually breathing

My eyes have once again been proven wrong
Your clouds, your blanket and my pity song
Hovering on your front lawn
Carry on until it's gone

What can I do?
The river's overrun
We're swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up

Then I lie naked in a rampage
In the flesh, face to face with the onset
I forget everything that's ever made me
Rise again
Now slowly leave my memory

What can I do?
The river's overrun
We're swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up
Now all my lovers raise their cups

What can I do?
The river's overrun
We're swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up
Now all my lovers raise their cups

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I'm fine
I'll be fine until the morning comes
Then unmask me in the blistering sun
Oh, let me go
Just let me go
Just let me go
Or I'll
Burst in front of your eyes
Then collect myself from the ground
And when I go
And when I go
Just let me go
Like a light
Flickering out in the skies
Lost as fast as was found
Everything is easy when you've never had to choose
But the balance has shifted and we're forced to lose
Like the sun and the moon, I will circle you 'til you bloom
I will crush, I will maul, I will burn until I get to you
Lay low
Don't let me know when it's real
Will they quietly follow me here?
Take me as their own?
Now I will hold you I will keep you
I'll control my love
Until it folds in my hands
But I'll build it back to the top
Everything is easy when you've never had to choose
But the balance has shifted and we're forced to lose
Like the sun and the moon, I will circle you 'til you bloom
I will crush, I will maul, I will burn until I get to you
Feel it rain
We're alive
Feel it rain
