Just one kiss is enough to get
me drunk right from your lips.
I would swim through the deepest oceans just to hear your name.
(I would, I would, I would)
I thought I knew right from wrong.
But the blood upon these hands has proved me wrong.
My mistakes can’t be covered up.
You should cover up,
Won’t you cover up?
Just hold on and dance like there’s no tomorrow.
Let’s hold on cause without you there is no me.
I would run through the darkest forest just to taste your skin.
Melt the sun if for just one second I could stop the pain.
(I would, I would, I would)
I thought I knew right from wrong.
But the blood upon these hands has proved me wrong.
My mistakes can’t be covered up.
You should cover up,
Won’t you cover up?
Just hold on and dance like there’s no tomorrow.
Let’s hold on cause without you there is no me.
You seem to think you’re bound and gagged and here all just for me.
You can leave, what could I do.
I thought I learned right from wrong.
Just hold on and dance like there’s no tomorrow.
Let’s hold on cause without you there is no me.
This edict dictates the mind will
stay in a creative state.
I’m not a scholar but I’m pretty
sure you’ve earned the right to keep creating.
I cannot breathe, I cannot speak,
please let me leave or let me sleep.
There’s no leaving here. Never.
Please tell me the benefits of keeping me locked up.
Maybe if we tried hard working together,
we’d escape insanity forever and ever.
I took a look outside my window.
I painted wings and tried to fly.
Closed my eyes and I jumped.
Imagination ran dry.
I took a look outside my window.
I painted wings and tried to fly.
Break me out from this fictitious life.
This edict dictates the mind will stay in a creative state.
I’m not a scholar but I’m pretty sure you’ve earned…
Don’t let me die like this.
What else can I paint when I’m watching skylines.
What is this crimson?
Blood is much redder.
Please expand this room.
I’m just waiting here.
I’m just pacing here.
I’m just wasting here.
I took a look outside my window.
I painted wings and tried to fly.
Closed my eyes and I jumped.
Imagination ran dry.
I took a look outside my window.
I painted wings and tried to fly.
Break me out from this fictitious life.
Just one drink to get through the day.
It’s getting darker and harder to stay in this place.
Where the flowers aren’t blooming.
I’m touch and go. Can you relate?
Medicate before this session. I’ll be late.
And I’m constantly fearing the plot that I’ll take.
Why do I need all these bottle dry?
I don’t want this.
The feeling of drowning in air. (I’m dry)
Enjoy the rain while you can. (I’m dry)
There’ll be no water in hell. (I’m dry)
Enjoy the rain while you can.
And I’m constantly fearing the plot that I’ll take.
Why do I need all these bottle dry?
I don’t want.
I’m gonna try.
Control desires.
Swim up. (swim up, swim up)
I need a little air.
I can’t breathe.
I need a better balance.
Red is the color of love.
Blue is the color of my waning. My waning.
Yellow is envy. Maybe it’s green?
Somewhere there lies a color in between.
You know where my pallet lies.
Brushes complete the rain.
Oils come together to remember my name.
I cannot believe the colors you are seeing. (Whoa, whoa)
It takes a certain kind of mind to lead me away.
I wonder if I could be swayed?
Maybe all you got to do is paint the canvas gray.
I paint what I see with reckless abandonment.
Self-portraits reflect me reflecting.
If I could mix all these paints, color would show emotional state.
Well sometimes take a step back just to see what you create.
I cannot believe the colors you are seeing. (Whoa, whoa)
It takes a certain kind of mind to lead me away.
I wonder if I could be swayed?
Maybe all you got to do is paint the canvas gray.
Sketch the stress of daily living.
Paint the life of someone else.
Red. Red. Red. Red.
Take a look into these eyes
and tell me what you see.
I built your trust just like this world.
Hopefully it won’t end badly.
Take these whispers in your ear and tell me what you hear.
Crashing the world brick by brick.
Told you all it would end badly.
I would like to build this world around you.
And I would like to crush this world around you.
Don’t you forget that there were ways around the mess that I had made.
Take it in stride cause you are all I need.
I would like to build this world around you.
And I would like to crush this world around you.
Let me in, let me in, let me in baby.
Let me in, let me in, let me in oh honey.
Honey I built all these things for you.
Honey what do I have left to prove?
Beyond the moon, beyond the stars is a place inside my heart.
I built all these things for you.
Something no mortal could ever do.
Take what I’ve given and try to leave.
Take what I’ve given and try to leave.
I would like to build this world around you.
And I would like to crush this world around you.
Around you.
Let me help you choose.
Don’t live with your ghosts.
You’ve been rolling the rice for too long,
And the hand you want, the hand you need, you’ll never get.
Bit into the sky. It filled our heads with moonlight.
Almost too vivid to see where we were, what could have been.
Bit into the sky. It filled our heads with moonlight.
Almost too vivid to see where we were, what could have been.
There is little time. Don’t waste it on god.
Dive in. Trust in your presence.
The worth you seek, the worth you need, you’ll achieve.
Bit into the sky. It filled our heads with moonlight.
Almost too vivid to see where we were, what could have been.
Bit into the sky. It filled our heads with moonlight.
Almost too vivid to see where we were, what could have been.
Speak for a reason.
Sink in your empathy.
Chip away the glass, it separates what’s real.
With all these fragments I’ll build you.
Maybe we could show each other glass can bend.
I must break you.
Maybe we can start to rebuild when I’m through.
You’ll love this.
Are you a Scorpio? I would like to know,
cause I think I might like this.
Am I your Romeo? Please don’t kill me yet,
cause I think that you’re still wet.
Fuck it!
Shattered I can’t feel or separate what’s real.
Holding on to a memory of making what you loved.
Nothing is what it seems.
I must break you.
Maybe we can start to rebuild when I’m through.
You’ll love this.
Are you a Scorpio? I would like to know,
cause I think I might like this.
Am I your Romeo? Please don’t kill me yet,
cause I think that you’re still wet.
Could I ever be part of your consideration baby?
Take into account we grew apart in heaven.
Never thought I’d be part of your consideration baby.
Take into account we grew apart in heaven.
Am I your Romeo?
Birds look above ahead of time.
We’ve been marked as a threat.
There’s no logic for my trial.
Will I see some rest?
If I never walk again, all that’s occurred so worthless.
The way we’ve seen these words so distant.
Lost sense in what control our tongues.
Do they know my name?
Oh me oh my, this mess of mine.
Need to own my regret.
I have begged the fairer kind to help make my bed.
If I never walk again, all that’s occurred so worthless.
The way we’ve seen these words so distant.
Lost sense in what control our tongues.
Do they know my name?
This is it: the only city I’ve walked in.
Stay close to me, we won’t bow heads for anybody.
If they stop moving it will kill them. I can fly forever.
This desert’s lost its charm. I’ve had my fill of scales and leather.
If they stop moving it will kill them but I can fly forever.
The desert’s lost its charm.
I can fly forever.
Old people in old buildings.
They’re moving away.
Old people in old buildings.
They’re moving away.
Have some dignity you fucking cunt!
We’ve grown strong bones.
We have strong iron.
They’ve been messing with my town.
And I am not afraid.
Stop fucking with my town.
Let’s ditch the car and go running.
If they stop moving it will kill them. I can fly forever.
This desert’s lost its charm. I’ve had my fill of scales and leather.
If they stop moving it will kill them but I can fly forever.
The desert’s lost its charm.
The desert’s lost its charm.
This is the only city I’ve ever watched.
Please, don't swim
There's something in the water
Please, don't swim
There's something in the water (close to you)
Please, don't swim
There's something in the water
Please, don't swim
There's something in the water (close to you)
Please, don't swim
There's something in the water
Please, don't swim
There's something in the water (close to you)
Please, don't swim
There's something in the water
Please, don't swim
There's something in the water (close to you)
Can you feel it
The movement across your feet?
Take one last look
Can you see it
The dragging across your feet?
Take one last look
Can you feel it
The movement across your feet?
Take one last look
Can you see it
The dragging across your feet?
Take one last look
Can't even wrap my head around the situation
Can't even wrap my head around you
Can't even wrap my head around the situation
Can't even wrap my head around you
Try to keep your head above the water
Can't even wrap my head around...
Can you feel it
The movement across your feet?
Take one last look
Can you see it
The dragging across your feet?
Take one last look
Can you feel it
The movement across your feet?
Take one last look
Can you see it?
The dragging across your feet?
Weightless and unbound
Weightless and unbound
Until we all drown
The visions will keep us going
Take off these wet clothes
I'm drying off
The other night I walked around
And came to a decision
The River guiding me
It ate my soul and left my body
The creatures fed on me
Clearing the last of my existence
The River comforts me
It's calmer now
The water's rising
(The rain, the rain, the rain, the rain)
I've become, I've become
What I've wanted
I'm floating on
(Don't even know what you are missing)
The tired ivory streams
Through the flood of the collected
He river asks of me
To give me mind to those deserving
Letting go of raw materials
That once had made me
The river teaches me
Adore the now
Not passing moments
I've become, I've become
What I've wanted
I'm floating on
(Don't even know what you are missing)
Oh, won't you float
Won't you float
Won't you float away
Ignore the things around you
Float with me
I'm floating on
(Don't even know what you are missing)
Try shifting the weight from the throat
Grasp dense as ceramic
Try shifting the weight from the throat
Grasp dense as ceramic
These rough hands could start a fire
Exfoliate the day
It's a tough pill to swallow
When the pillow feels like stone
Wish I could hibernate
But I'd lose what's at stake
It's getting easier with time
I just don't have the stomach
To swallow what I think is hopeless
In a few years, we'll be laughing
Take a few years to view the world
My veins have a fury that's churning
My lungs have a fire that's burning
Mean I can't, means I won't go hungry
It means I can't starve
I can't starve
Free the moths 'cause they are tired
Of filling pocket space
Write a memoir on a napkin
I wish I could hibernate
But I'd lose what's at stake
It's getting easier with time
I just don't have the stomach
To swallow what I think is the new world
My veins have a fury that's churning
My lungs have a fire that's burning
Means I can't, means I won't go hungry
It means I can't starve
Try shifting the weight from the throat
Grasp dense as ceramic
Try shifting the weight from the throat
Grasp dense as ceramic
I just don't have the stomach
To swallow what I think is hopeless
My veins have a fury that's churning
My lungs have a fire that's burning
Means I can't means I won't go hungry
It means I can't starve
Means I can't means I won't go hungry
It means I can't starve
Choked on my own words
Not everything turns out right
Just one more thing
Please hold me down
This feels so familiar
The smell of these burning bones
Just one more thing
Please hold me down
Just one more thing
Keep searching
A choice to endure the weight
Or swallow the sour taste
Let’s move on
Cut out my tongue
Absorbed by the moment
Dread in its salted form
Just one more thing
Please hold me down
This sound an acquaintance
Echoes of hollow skin
Just one more thing
Please hold me down
Just one more thing
Keep searching
A choice to endure the weight
Or swallow the sour taste
Let’s move on
Cut out my tongue
Just one more thing
Keep straining
Just one more thing
Just one more thing
Keep searching
Just one more
A choice to endure the weight
Or swallow the sour taste
Let’s move on
Cut out my tongue
My tongue
I tightened my grip
Around my bow
I'll try to save you all
Knuckles turning white
Blood runs cold
There's a boy with no face
I don't feel there's much separation
I'm an animal
Hope leaves when the waves come crashing
I've never been a religious man
But I'm slipping under drowning
In your eyes
I've never been a religious man
But I'm slipping under drowning
In your
Footprints in the snow
The sun runs off
The gloom begins to grow
The bleak reaches these bones
Rushing through
There's a boy with no face
I don't feel there's much separation
I'm an animal
Hope leaves when the waves come crashing
I've never been a religious man
But I'm slipping under drowning
In your eyes
I've never been a religious man
But I'm slipping under drowning
In your
I left you the forest
Let the spirit go
Rid this place of monsters
t's tough, supporting what seems like fantasies
Clouds collapse your lungs
The bends have had their ways
It's rough, watching potential slip into the fray
Perspective lost, spinning out
We're not boys just climbing trees
You say you're always living out your dreams
You're just sleeping
Crooked floors should never stop your feet
From moving
(Hopeless)
They'll ask, "Whatever happened to him anyway?"
Water in your chest
Drown your cries again
We'll say, "He was exactly who we thought he was"
Perspective lost, spinning out
We're all boys just losing years
You say you're always living out your dreams
You're just sleeping
Crooked floors should never stop your feet
From moving
Say you need it more
And you took it all
I didn't look and I don't have it now
I couldn't watch you fall
You say you're always living out your dreams
You're just sleeping
Crooked floors should never stop your feet
From moving
From moving
From moving
From moving
From moving
I didn't run
I took advantage of you sometimes
I can't deal with selfishness
No honesty in these eyes
In these eyes
I need any other reason
I take all that I need
To keep on walking
It tastes like sand, it tastes like dust
I take all that I need
To keep on walking
It tastes like sand, it tastes like...
I'll break a door
Leaving my interests
I will not, I hope you're dying
No honesty in these eyes
In these eyes
I need any other reason
I take all that I need
To keep on walking
It tastes like sand, it tastes like dust
I take all that I need
To keep on walking
It tastes like sand, it tastes like dust
It tastes like...
I burn my mouth
Swallowing
ignorance
I burn my mouth
Swallowing
ignorance
The words won't come
The words won't go
Your words won't come
My words won't...
I take all that I need
To keep on walking
It tastes like sand, it tastes like dust
I take all that I need
To keep on walking
It tastes like sand, it tastes like dust
It tastes like...
I take all that I need
To keep on walking
It tastes like sand
I take all that I need
To keep on walking
It tastes like sand
It tastes like sand
It tastes like sand
I saw the sun come up
Took every bit strength that I had
Continue to wander I'm not longer a stranger of land
Swallow your liquid keepsake
Souvenirs that you treasure best
Acquaint strangers, lines in their face tell a story
Once upon a time the world scared me, not the case now
I saw the sun come up
Took every bit strength that I had
Continue to wander I'm not longer a stranger of land
I saw the sun come up
Took every bit strength that I had
Continue to wander I'm not longer a stranger of land
Traversing through great unknowns
No trade in value as for as I'm concerned
Kinship is left at home
Form new bonds stronger than before
Stronger than before
Once upon a time the world scared me, not the case now
I saw the sun come up
Took every bit strength that I had
Continue to wander I'm not longer a stranger of land
I saw the sun come up
Took every bit strength that I had
Continue to wander I'm not longer a stranger of land
[Instrumental]
Dive into the land of papercuts and ink stained cufflinks
These words open doors
Keep a record of your receipts
To remind you of the joy of the sunset escape
The poem will bring you down
Your hatreds float away like butterflies
And maybe you'll read this tonight
Gain credence through what you'll recite
Dust the page often
Take your time
Though it seems a constant duel
When you feed yourself the words that open up the child in you
Grab the bourbon from the shelf
This moment needs to be cemented, cemented
The poem will bring you down
Your hatreds float away like butterflies
And maybe you'll read this tonight
Gain credence through what you'll recite
And maybe you'll read this tonight
Dust the page often
Take your time
