Mission Of Burma - Onoffon (2004) by Mission Of Burma (보컬) on maniadb.com

The heart set it
It sets itself up
The heart set it
It sets itself up
The heart set it
It sets itself up
The heart sets itself up

I'm asking
Why do I
Act this way

Where's the question
I cannot react to
Where's the question
I can't misreact
Where's the question
Where's the question
Where's the question
Where's the question

All the mystery is taken as fact
All the mystery is taken as fact
All the mystery is taken as fact
Now I live inside the circle
Now I live inside the circle
Now I live inside the circle
Now I live inside the circle

The heart set it
It sets itself up
The heart set it
It sets itself up
The heart set it
It sets itself up
The heart sets itself up

I'm asking
Why do I
Act this way
Oh

Where's the question
I cannot react to
Where's the question
I can't misreact
Where's the question
Where's the question
Where's the question
Where's the question

All the mystery is taken as fact
All the mystery is taken as fact
All the mystery is taken as fact
Now I live inside the circle
Now I live inside the circle
Now I live inside the circle
Now I live inside the circle

I've swallowed my quarry
And now lie paralyzed
With assimilation's pain
And indulgence's misshapen form

I am a snake
And I will resume
My contours
Then I'll hunt again
There really is no choice

How do we survive

I like to think I surprise myself
But that's a tired joke
I watch myself as I do my best
No drama anymore
When reason turns to riot gear
There's no control, I lose myself again
These maniacal rituals that got me going, but just

How do you survive

So sudden are my movements
Not a drop of blood is spilled
I'm quiet beneath the roaring sun
I leave my signature scrawled softly in the sand
The only trace of a dead obsession

'Cuz I'm a snake
And I will resume
My contours
Then I'll hunt again

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

Now we know the way
So just enjoy the wait
Admire the plate
While you nibble on the bait
Every time you fly
You know you gotta land
I can't wait
But who can

And if you're not watching
The ... defense
Soon you can taste it
And feel it and hear it
On a scale of one to ten
It was a, a forty-nine
I missed that moment I was elsewhere at the time

Are you psyched
Are you high
Are you psyched
Are you high

I'm as high as a kite on a windless night
I'm as high as a kite on a windless night
Oh I'm as high as a kite on a windless night
And when I'm done

Up up up and away
Every time you ask me I just don't know what to say
Peaking up the valleys it's how you set your mind
And it's a way of living it comes forward at the slide

I'm gonna wait and see
And then I'll let you know
Do you love it enough to let go
Do you love it enough to
Let go

Are you psyched
Are you high
Are you psyched
Are you high
Are you high

I'm as high as a kite on a windless night
I'm as high as a kite on a windless night
I'm as high as a kite on a windless night
I'm as high as a kite on a windless night
Oh I'm as high as a kite on a windless night
Oh I'm as high as a kite on a windless night
A windless night

I was falling
Through the air
From the tallest building
Away OK away
And I felt the air rush
Flowing over me
And I could hear you calling
From far away away

I could see the future
Rushing up to meet me
Between the seconds
Split into smaller parts
I could feel the even
Every stream of air
I could feel the Rockies stay
For me OK OK
To me OK OK

Show me the way the way the way
Show me the way the way the way
Show me the way the way the way
Show me the way the way the way

Increasing focus
Telescoping lines and forms
The tiny details
Come home come home come home
I was falling
Through the air
From the tallest building
Away OK away
I could see the future
Rushing up to meet me
Between the seconds
Split into smaller parts
I could feel the even
Every stream of air
I could hear your words fall
By me OK OK
By me OK OK

It seems years and years ago that
People saw the sun
We would sleep on beaches
...

Now must I go sleep alone
Between clean whole sheets
But when I was with you we slept wrapped up
...

Of course you must know that it did all end
How then to recall what we really were
Of course you must know that it did all end
Nothing that perfect or simple ever lasts
For long

That haunting song you sang about
Picking roses and dropping them in the beloveds lap as she dreamed
The translation clumsy
Maybe it was that other song you sang about the beautiful dress that gets torn

<Backmasked:Saw the sun, we would sleep on beaches...now must I go sleep alone between clean whole sheets, but when I was with you we slept wrapped up, it seems years and years ago that people saw the sun, we would sleep on beaches...>

Of course you must know that it did all end
How then to recall what we really were
Of course you must know that it did all end
Nothing that perfect or simple ever lasts
For long

A real keen eye
Sense of smell
Still hard to tell
Your ID
Is a full IV
It's the essence of things

It's too warm to touch
A simulated rush

I'm overthrown
Overthrown
Baby keep me warm
All the weaponry
You seem to need
Just let it bleed

It's too warm to touch
A simulated rush

You convinced me
When the capsule broke
It the artificial light
A red so true
You'd never doubt
It gushes out

It's too warm to touch
A simulated rush, but
How can you tell
When it's fake blood
Oh how can you tell
When it's fake blood
Oh how can you tell
When it's fake blood
Tell

Oh how can you tell
When it's fake blood
Oh how can you tell
When it's fake blood
Yeah how can you tell
When it's fake blood
Stab me!

Oh how can you tell
When it's fake blood
Yeah how can you tell
When it's fake blood
Oh how can you tell
When it's fake blood

It hardly even matters
What I used to think
I've lost that sense of balance
The thoughts keep opening up
To how I used to see you
Before I proved a fool
I can still feel your hand in mine

I prepared my heart for you
I prepared my heart for you

It's not your imagination
The hidden melody
Beneath the pretty surface
All bruised and injury
Encoded for protection
From polite society
Have you never let yourself fall apart

I prepared my heart for you
I prepared my heart for you
I prepared my heart for you
Ending here so soft and cruel

Worthless love
Worthless love

I'm a puppet, you're a puppet too
A dancing fool, jiggle me at my joints
Once you were on my side
But I will make you wish that I had died
I had died
Wounded

Thanks for all of your help and perfection, oh yeah
The machines we have built for the end

Another year, another friend or foe
Burn their cities, scorch the earth below
The times have changed and so too have our needs
This time it's you on which the fire feeds
Fire feeds
Wounded

If you laugh at my jokes you will pay for it, oh yeah
When your friends are enemies, you'll be sold

Thanks for all of your help and perfection, oh yeah
The machines we have built for the end

Wounded
World
Wounded

Yeah it's true
But only in part
Actions best forgotten of a desperate heart
And it hurts
This salt in the wound
But what compels them to spend their time bothering you

Don't let them touch you baby
Don't let them make you cry
Don't you waste your time
Trying to find the reason why
They will do what they must do

Yeah it's strange
That vicarious choir
Ever searching for a stage where they might sing higher
And they share
The generous souls
But nothing gets in the way of a story untold

It's not fair
The only intention's to hurt
Always there
The strategy's rumors and dirt

Don't let them touch you baby
Don't let them make you cry
Don't you waste your time
Trying to find the reason why
They will do what they must do

...
...
...

Hey hey

... half day to meddle with our lives
With private tears meant only for our eyes
Reactions haunt, be worthy of legend
Security maybe ... charms

It's not fair
The only intention's to hurt
Always there
The strategy's rumors and dirt
It's not fair
The only intention's to hurt
Always there
The strategy's rumors and dirt
It's not fair
Dirt
Always there
Dirt

Someone gathers the best ideas
And burns them
Something's broken
Someone's spoken
Of no return
Burn all the rabid ideas
Out in the hallway
Something comes in a great procession
Calling my name

And I don't know why
I do what I do
I can break that window
I can hurl myself into that fire
Into that fire burns
Burns

Now the cycle's spinning down
But no one
No one at all
Comes out of the forest with a magic wand to spell me
Electric burns in its camoflauge
Won't clear the air
Something comes in a great procession
Calling my name

And I don't know why
I do what I do
I can smash that doorway
I can hurl myself into that fire

Is that free
Calling me
To that fire

Here I go
Burning slow
In that fire
Into that fire
Baby burn baby burn baby burn
Burn

Am I hot?
Am I cold?
When did this fever take the hold?
I know yours, do you know mine?
Knock me off the wall well I feel fine
You and I return to the scene of the crime
Take me out and wash my sins away
Everyone's an actor in this play
Trading lines with roving phantoms

Sentimental Visigoth, crazy as a loon
Thirteen months might be too much for me
Sentimental Visigoth, crazy as a loon
Thirteen months might be too much for me

Am I hot?
Am I cold?
When did this fever take a hold?
I know yours, you know mine
Knock me off the wall well I feel fine
You and I return to the scene of the crime
Let's go out and wash our sins away
Everyone's an actor in this play
Trading lines with roving phantoms

Sentimental Visigoth, crazy as a loon
Thirteen months might be too much for me
Sentimental Visigoth, crazy as a loon
Thirteen months might be too much for me

Am I hot?
Am I cold?
When did this fever take the hold?
I know yours, you know mine
Knock me off the wall well I feel fine
Well I feel fine, fever moon

Hit the perfect level in the blood
Sweet black syrup go-go jet stream
Hardline the blood brain barrier
Gotta get the head up in the red
Work it down to the sweetest inch
Quality payload special delivery

Going to the dance like the doctor said
Vertical expression, horizontal desire
Gonna take a chance, take your pick of meds
Falling off of this world together

I can smell their footprints in the woods
Hear their fires, feel their laughing
Late into the night well who's the worse?
Evidence mounting by the hour
Keeping book as we build our case on
Old Bedford Rd. you better take care

Going to the dance like the doctor said
Vertical expression, horizontal desire
Gonna take a chance, pick a peck of meds
Falling off of this world together

We've got the power of the nicotine bomb

Everything's connected to connections tangled up
Chorus chords pretenders to some distant memories well that's alright
Holly catch a yardbird ten car pile up on the bar
Over under stop stop Chrissie ring the bell 'cause the gang's all here yeah

Going to the dance like the doctor said
Vertical expression, horizontal desire
All this sonic mess crowded in my head
Falling off of this world together

We've got the power of the nicotine bomb

This is where I live
In the blank spots of a wall
Where the window shade is ripped
But I still wanna go

They tell me I will never find my place in Playland
They tell me that the toys will always break in Playland
They tell me I will never find my way to Playland

It's your Playland
In my Playland
It's my Playland
In your play

I can't stop thinking what it does
I can't stop feeling how it feels
I can't stop obeying it's commands
When it comes from you

They tell me I will never find my place in Playland
They tell me that the toys will always break in Playland
They tell me I will never find my way to Playland
Find my way to Playland

This alert is the color of a shirt that you cannot use
When you're wrapped uptight in your own little world
Could you move your cocoon
Zombies lost in a dungeon fog stagger through the street
Trying in vain to sharpen the attack
To get the juice from concentrate

The bubble broke, thoughts ran out, now they all run free
I guess I let it wander too far
Please let me know if you see my absent mind, my absent mind

I'm a stick figure, I'm a blank slate filled and erased
Overload the fuses, senses stand still, stare into space
And let the lights dim
When a title wave of information rolls over you
It can make you lose your place
Where was I.....oh yeah.....
Would you be aware if there was something in the air

The bubble broke, thoughts ran out, now they all run free
I guess I let it wander too far
Please let me know if you see my absent mind, my absent mind
