So now we see
Comes burying my burnt remains
These puddled clouds
Oh I, I understand now

But darkness falls likes shattered pieces
Dangling, shimmering
Torn and tattered and crowned
Oh, I'll not be told, "No", to "No more"

You must believe to hear me sing these
Messy morsels of my self-assuring love
Oh, it's painful kneading

Yes, I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles
That glare me down and face me
With all I do wrong
Why do they all look like me?


So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light
Of my treacherous life

If I had hands I'd hold up high
My lofty dreams and my alibi's real name
But I have no strength

So I toss and I turn and I spit in the urn
There's a ghost in your eye
There is someone that knows more than I
But I'm quick to deny

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light
Of my treacherous life, make light

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

That's a frosty way to speak,
To tell me how to live next to your potpourri
All this talking pulls my teeth.
I believed in you, so you believed in
[Chorus]
Me, I cried out ""God""
You dared me in the dark
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark
so now I hide in piles of princely orange peels
It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel.
Once I had an name to call you.
It scraped along the walls like an orthodox saint.
I wish for the same old things that turn me inside out.
Hearing is a strain, it's a game!
[Chorus]
Never have I ever been
Clutching at your hair to cure you of some sin,
But that's the kind of state I'm in:
Swimming in a pool of godly medicine.
""Come, come,"" I hear it calling me, yelling,
Like if ever there was someone who could make things heavy again.
Feel alive!

And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going

And you said it was like fire around the brim
Burning solid burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were one inch from the edge of this bed
I dragged tou back a sleepyhead

They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst
With all their lions and all their might and all their thirst
They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin
My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

In pastures blue and green
I'll follow you and you'll follow me
My fabric's mystery
I'll wave your loyalty in the freezing breeze so desperately

Oh and another one comes down
another one comes down
another one comes down

I think I see my life
He bows all slyly and gentle-like
He's never had the right
But I've never lived without his sad and jealous eyes

Oh and another one comes down
another one comes down
another one comes down

They say "Let your love grow tall"
"Let your love grow tall"
Tall as the grass in the meadow?
Or the dunes on the shore?
Like the buildings in the city?
And your children on the floor?

It's the thought that counts
No, quiet minds don't know their worth
They know now what to do
So I'll pray for them
And I'll pray for you till my face turns blue

Oh and another ones comes down
another one comes down
another one comes down

They say "Let your love grow tall"
"Let your love grow tall"
Tall as the grass in the meadow?
Or the dunes on the shore?
Like the buildings in the city?
And your children on the floor?
Like the darkness in the forest?
Like my frightened worried eyes?
Or the roots in the soil?
Are these skies telling lies?

Someday you'll see
Surrounded by angels floating atop of the sea
On bended knee
Don't go where they go, don't sing all the songs they sing

Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew, yeah, I thought I knew
Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew, yeah, I thought I knew

Between these walls
Her back, strange glimpse, casts shadows frighteningly tall
I slow to a crawl
I jump and I yell but she hears nothing at all

Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew, yeah, I thought I knew
Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew, yeah, I thought I knew

Stay, stay the same
'Cause everything else will change
And I've always been to blame
So please just stay the same
The currents pull me in
The tide has reached my chin
The seaweed tickles skin
Just let the water win
I'm freezing to the bone
You'll never be at home
Just watch, you're running out
Just watch your body go

Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew, yeah, I thought I knew
Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew, yeah, I thought I knew
