Teach me to learn to lose myself My finger was pricked by someone else Pull my blood up through a mixer straw Spread the words all wrong on the neighbor's lawn and on Don't cry for sleeping kittens Cause they won't die today We'll cover them with flowers They dream their dreams away
Disconnect the feeling factory Put your tongue up to my battery Things are so much smoother when we lie Crush your cigarettes out on an orange sky and try Lose sleep for sleeping children But throw your branch away The bees they buzzed so loudly That I just couldn't stay I just couldn't stay
Awaiting an audience
Trace the feel of everything you steal Tell me which is paper and which is real We won't answer even when they call When we're hiding from shadows that are dancing on the walls Don't cry for sleeping kittens Cause they won't die today We'll cover them with flowers They dream their dreams away They'll dream their dreams away
I'm so anxious just to get out Forget the cars, I need to walk Feel the grass under our sneakers Save the doubts for after dark
The water's not safe to go in today Hold the joy, but I will be afraid Saw a little red hen in the clouds today Laughing while we're covered by the rain
You're never as sad as you're acting And my attention's never far Let the ocean kiss your ankles Save the smiles until it's dark
The water's not safe to go in today Hold the joy, but I will be afraid Saw a little red hen in the clouds today Laughing while we're covered by the rain
Heard it clearly in my head today Heard it clearly in my head today Heard the crashing waves clearly ringing in my head today Heard the waves ringing in my head today
I saw the photograph, an image of you Things have never looked, looked like this It's never been like this I'm swimming in gray I'm just swimming in gray
Let them all walk away, all walk away So there's no one to blame They all feel the same Let them all walk away, all walk away I'll be left with the shame
You saw the photograph, an image of me You'll never see me like this It's never felt like this I'm swimming in gray I'm just swimming in gray
Let them all walk away, all walk away So there's no one to blame They all feel same Let them all walk away, all walk away I'll be left with the shame
Can we sit here for a while Never like to see you shy Panic like a little child Trying to find his way back home Find his way back home, find his way back home Feel the air come closing in before the hurricanes begin Strands of hope come whispering And you can ask me anything Ask me anything, ask me anything
Re-arrange stars Using sunlight from our smiles Breathe into glass Run to my side Dripping signs of life
Watch the fire slowly spread Glowing sparks all far ahead And I panicked like a child trying to find his way back home Find his way back, find his way back home
Re-arrange stars Using sunlight from our smiles Breathe into glass Run to my side Dripping signs of life
You say you'll move on You better not be lying All the things you find out I just find tiring Our TV's blasting Our words dividing Like little kids now With faces hiding
I don't know what to say Cause we don't have the words We'll throw it out it's empty We don't have the words
If there's a reason For all this crying You let me know While you're deciding
I don't know what to say Cause we don't have the words We'll throw it out it's empty We don't have the words
I stared at the ceiling to regain some feeling The days mixed with let downs and come downs and put downs There's words and their feelings but none of them sit well You say that you're happy when no one believes you So I just take my time We're treading deep water and can't seem to come by any place Where we can force ourselves to know Where is the space in our heads for hopeful thoughts to grow So now I hope you'll rush to my side A wish can't just choose to fall down by the wayside
There's bees in the attic Acidic with panic Bees in the attic Acidic with panic
There's pills straws and bottles for all our bruised feelings They mixed well in person but sting when they're leaving So I will make up my mind We're treading deep water and can't seem to come by any place Where we can force ourselves to grow Where is the space in our heads for hopeful thoughts to grow So now I hope you'll rush to my side We've threaded the needle and can't find a way out
There's bees in the attic Acidic with panic Bees in the attic Acidic with panic
Send the kids to the garden The cypresses burdened down To make a perfect pair Spread on a blanket The angels wasting their tears When your wet face turns to cheer
Tiny little voices won't take nothing from no one Tiny little fingers won't pull nothing from nowhere
The children are begging The smiling rain clouds To please reflect my tears Leaves fall from nowhere I won't beg your pardon I won't be there when you laugh
Tiny little voices won't take nothing from no one Tiny little fingers won't pull nothing from nowhere
And find a way to set them straight These kids are all begging to trade Their ghosts away and let them fade and let them.. la la la
All of their open smiles just sit and wait, to sing a brutal song
Once I had a girlfriend and she made my heart just want to die She just couldnt stay the same, she'll make you open up your eyes until you cry yourself a river, throw your hands up in the sky, to be by her side, I'll do anything if just to make her stay To make her stay, To make her stay, stay. [Can't pretend, until youre mine will they ever know? Can't deny, the world outside, just needs us both Can't pretend, until you're mine, I'll never know oh, cant be missed, the world outside just leaves us both.] Once She gave a reason but the end just made me cry oh, its sunrise outside, she made me open up my eyes and then i finally looked around me when I heard her softer cry I cant pretend it's right I'll do anything if just to make her stay, to make her stay, to make her stay, stay.
14 quiet days These hours just slept in your place White sand and a vague sense of youth How can I get through It's a violent truth that I'm like you
16 lonely hours No sun or depth 15 dreams of you all alone But still far from reach Crosses traced in white sand It's a violent truth that I'm like you
You said the first time was so perfect But the rest was all just wrong You said there's too many gone too long
14 quiet days These hours just slept in your place White sand and a vague sense of youth How can I get through It's a violent truth that I'm like you
You said the first time was so perfect But the rest was all just wrong You said there's too many gone too long
Boy who came to sit with you He talked to your eyes I can't forget now For a thought Girls who over and over They looked right through you I can't look back now So I'll pretend That I pretend Let me pretend for a while
La la la la Kimi to ireba namino mienai Kimi to nara dokodemo ike Namino nai kara Yoake demo Itsudemo yobu Yume no yohni shizunde ike
Boy whose cloudy voice calls you X's in your eyes I can't be still now For a thought Girls whose tensions just kill you Shivers in your spine Words don't come easy So I'll pretend That I pretend Let me pretend for a while
La la la la Kimi to ireba namino mienai Kimi to nara dokodemo ike Namino nai kara Yoake demo Itsudemo yobu Yume no yohni shizunde ike
On gentle ground I waited for you In drops of dew I wished that were you With heavy hands I reached out for you My skin soaking wet My eyes searched for you
It seems you lost your way You've let it all fall apart Nothing's left here but you All you do is remind me Now that we've lost our way The rest can all fall apart All I see here is you All it does is remind me
With sharpened tongue I cried out for you And must I refrain Now that I need you The autumn wind feels As if it were you And swayed through the fields Where I once held you
It seems you lost your way You've let it all fall apart Nothing's left here but you All you do is remind me Now that we've lost our way The rest can all fall apart All I see here is you All it does is remind me
Whistle through your window We act the same as you
like a red sky, it goes on forever when you're in the strawberry fields just listen, you can hear them they'll call out loudly they shout, "don't forget about me"
now they're slowly disappearing the deafening strawberries but when you're in the strawberry fields just listen, you'll still hear them they'll call out loudly they shout, "don't forget about me"
