Brand New

Wait
I watched you throw out your bouquet
Now i think about you everyday
I'm alone now in my bed

And there's a lake
And at the bottom you'll find all my friends
They don't swim cause they're all dead
We never are what we intend, or invent
'Cause I make little lies and then I pull them apart
Think something dark's living down in my heart

And if I wanted to die before I got old
I should've started some years ago digging that hole
Well I carry this box to the proper place
And when I lower it down
I let it you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me
Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me

A deer that a hunter shot in the heart
Some dogs that got hit by cars
All came to spill their guts

And we spoke
About the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
And which psalms we had loved the most
And then we all turned to dirt
And dust
Some men die under the mountain just looking for gold
Some die looking for a hand to hold

Well I carry this box to its proper place
And when I lower it down
I let you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me
Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me

I'm slowly bringing you down from the Heavenly gates
Now I'm drowning in the flood I made
Well explain myself to me on the other side
I'll watch from Heaven when I die

Well I carry this box to the proper place
And when I lower it down
I let you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me
Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me

Little light lead us through the night
And if we die burn down the forest
chariots, carry us
distance says we don't care to walk

I'm on my way to hell
I'm on my way to hell

Why doesn't anyone I know sleep?
Are they all just scared of their dreams?
When they lay down there heads down at night,
What are they haunted by?
Why won't anyone just close their eyes?
Could it hurt them to rest for a while?

(Because)
I'm on my way to hell
(Well I've tried, god knows that I've tried)
I'm on my way to hell
(One time, two time, three time)

Sitting duck
Running out of luck
And I caught up on the train crossing
How are we ever gonna know peace
How will I ever see a life through the tress
I wanna burn down everything we begun
I wanna kill it and eat my young

(Because)
I'm on my way to hell
(Well I've tried, god knows that I've tried)
I'm on my way to hell
(One time, two time, three time, again)
I'm on my way to hell
(Well I've tried, god knows that I've tried)
I'm on my way to hell
(One time, two time, three time, again)

I'm on my way to hell <i>[x4]</i>

Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your mouth,
Stones in your ears,
Stones in your mind,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,

Living in a jar, think the lids the sky,
You're hoping for a savior on your cross outside.
Stars are just a million little fireflies,
The sun is just the whole world and the light outside.

Holding out for rest but on the seventh day,
I've created nothing and I'm wide awake,
So can I tie my key to your electric kite?
The rooster crowed twice and you can't sleep at night.

There's too many saviors on my cross again,
I know I'm never going to be a perfect man.
Everyone's an oyster with their grain of sand,
I love you most and some, now it has to end.

Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
Stones in your eyes,
I'll run a million miles if you win first prize.

<i>[Recording:]</i>
And we sing this morning
that wonderful and grand old message.
I don't know about you but I never get tired of it
Number 99: Just As I Am.

I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a river that is all dried up
I'm an ocean nothing floats on
I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in
I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot
I'm a moon that never shows it's face
I'm a mouth that doesn't smile
I'm a word that no one ever wants to say.

<i>[Child Speaking:]</i>
I don't wanna be,
He wasn't finding anybody when he was on the shelf
I saw him in my dream

I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run
I'm a preacher with no pulpit
Spewing a sermon that goes on and on and on.

Well if we take all these things
and we bury them fast
And we'll pray that they turn into seeds,
to roots and then grass
It'd be all right, it's all right,
it'd be easier that way.
Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
Like he knew it was time
to start things over again
It'd be all right, it's all right,
it'd be easier that way.

Well if we take all these things
and we bury them fast
And we'll pray that they turn into seeds,
to roots and then grass
It'd be all right, it's all right,
it'd be easier that way
Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
Like he knew it was time
to start things over again
It'd be all right, it's all right,
it'd be easier that way

Trees will make a forest
Trees will make a bow
These are all the harder
Words you have to know
If everyone's a structure
Where their own savior sits
Then I'm a little red house
And no one's living in it

Cars are little blood cells
We are oxygen
City is the airways
Suburbs appendages
She was feeling lonely
So you let her hide
Rented out a family
We bought a bride
Bought a bride
Bought a bride
Bought a bride

Little cities names labeled along the map
They tied her up and laid her on the train tracks

Where are all the seedlings
We grew from violence
Down in Jersey lumber
Stealing prosthetic limbs
Should of been a soldier
I could of fought and died
There's no revolution
So I bought a bride
Bought a bride
Bought a bride
Bought a bride

Coming down the alley while the horns play "Taps"
They tied her up and laid her on the train tracks

Somehow I always knew when everything was unsaid
Go and buy a hammer never sing again

I don't want to let you go
But it hurts my hands to hold the rope
I won't be such an easy mark
You're no better then they say

And all the candles on the cake
All set fire to the gate
Turn the cannons towards the boat
Men were drowning in the moat
It was the end of all rowers oars

If you call then I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming, now
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you

All I want's some earth and seed
But only grow the things I need
But first I must find my way back
And you go lay down on the track

At first I had an even keel
But now I'm not sure what is real.
It's taken me this long to learn
That every dead is ate by worms
And once they're gone they don't return

If you call then I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming, now
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you

I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
Then the fire snuck into your bedroom
Now I'm falling asleep to forget you

How darkly the dark hand met his end
He was withered and boney, exposed for a phoney
But we heed the last words that he penned
Haste to disgrace the traitor. Do not wait til later
I don't think that you've got to pretend
I see God in birds and Satan in long words
But I know what you need in a friend
So now when I leave you, I hope I won't see you

How darkly the dark hand met his end
He was withered and boney, exposed for a phoney
But we heed the last words that he penned
Haste to disgrace the traitor. Do not wait til later

If you call then I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming, now
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
Well, I'm coming to get you
If you call then I'm coming, now
If you call then I'm coming to get you
You want to sink, so I'm gonna let you
Then the fire snuck into your bedroom
Now I'm falling asleep to forget you

It's getting hard to stay up
I think I can hear God calling my name
He'll try to make my heart break
But I was told you'd call me tonight
They're calling my name
They won't slow the car down
I'm scared that I will keep it for my own
The one that is calling my name is telling "come down"
They're calling my name...
They're calling my name...
Calling my name...

Last night they said the fire had spread
And we said our prayers
And now the flames are burning me in my bed,
But I just don't care
We all go to sleep in the same place
And in the morning hope that we're all the same
Just sit around like broke down cars in the lot Waiting for repairs

There you go
There it goes...

Well I wish that I was as good as you
Caring and trusting
And I wish that my condition was new but I'm old and rusting
So we just hurry up only to wait
Add to the list of all the places we hate
And I pretend like I got something to say
But I've got nothing

Now I know that you stole
Yeah you stole
From the cradles they were rocked in
You took the first words that they spoke
Yeah you stole
Yeah you stole
So if I'm a liar and you're a thief
At least we both know where the other one sleeps
So let's end this tonight

Now I know that you stole
Yeah, you stole
From the cradles they were rocked in
You took the first words that they spoke
Yeah you stole
Yeah you stole

So if I'm a liar and you're a thief
At least we both know where the other one sleeps
So let's end this tonight

So you tried to put a fire out
But you used gasoline
And when the congregation gathered round
You're screaming "it wasn't me"
So there's a sickness that is going round
But no one's got a vaccine
I think it drowned in holy water
I think it's time we all come clean

I swear it's like dying
To catch a ghost
It feels like I'm trying
To hold smoke
I swear it's like dying
To catch a ghost
It feels like I'm trying
To hold smoke

When the army had to hold the line
Well you were nowhere near the front
Before the kids could tell the dog "goodbye",
Well you were loading up your gun
I wanna know I've left the great divide
I wanna know what I've become
You think that no one else is lonesome
You think that you're the only one

It feels like I'm jumping towards a train
It feels like I'm jumping towards a train
Well I'm trying to find a way

It feels like I'm jumping towards a train
It feels like I'm jumping towards a train
Well I'm trying to find a way

Wait
I watched you throw out your bouquet
Now i think about you everyday
I'm alone now in my bed

And there's a lake
And at the bottom you'll find all my friends
They don't swim cause they're all dead
We never are what we intend, or invent
'Cause I make little lies and then I pull them apart
Think something dark's living down in my heart

And if I wanted to die before I got old
I should've started some years ago digging that hole
Well I carry this box to the proper place
And when I lower it down
I let it you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me
Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me

A deer that a hunter shot in the heart
Some dogs that got hit by cars
All came to spill their guts

And we spoke
About the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
And which psalms we had loved the most
And then we all turned to dirt
And dust
Some men die under the mountain just looking for gold
Some die looking for a hand to hold

Well I carry this box to its proper place
And when I lower it down
I let you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me
Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me

I'm slowly bringing you down from the Heavenly gates
Now I'm drowning in the flood I made
Well explain myself to me on the other side
I'll watch from Heaven when I die

Well I carry this box to the proper place
And when I lower it down
I let you fade away
I hope that you would do this for me
Well I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate
If I thought it would help you get away
I hope that you would do this for me

My head is lead I don't want to ever go to bed
Your hair is on fire
You snuff the blaze turn to vapor then you float away
We got into a bad fight
Laid her on the bed <i>[x6]</i>

My eyes are lungs of the prophet and I speak in tongues
I know how you'll die
Your sister groans, an usurper to the holy throne
To me she is just a dead spy

Laid her on the bed <i>[x3]</i>
Lie to all your friends <i>[x4]</i>

I don't know what you feel like
Ambushed on the root, stole your gold, you're a rose and you're laughing now
Everything that you own starts to pile up
Like bones make the walls of your prison

Laid her on the bed <i>[x3]</i>
I don't want to ever go to bed

Stay out for the fight
The champ goes down like a clown in the second round
I wish we'd had a better goodbye
Lie to all your friends <i>[x7]</i>

Far away from any road,
Froze my heart in solitude,
Where your passerby can see,
Our life's highway guard within,
Knowing when our last does fail,
Our compassion shall be met,
Everything, let me be,
Our life's highway guard within.

We need vices (oh),
We need vices (oh),
Where's all my hope and my marriage license,
(where's my head?)

Those days are dead
(forgive me)
Those days are dead
(forgive me)
Those days are dead
(forgive me)
We need vices at fifty thousand degrees

She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
And jumped

I got creative (oh no),
To try to kill the major,
Where is my trigger?
My mind eraser
(we sing that so subtle...)

And that forest burned
(you see smoke...)
That forest burned
That forest burned
(a halo...)
We need ten years, everyone, so we can return

She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
And jumped

We need vices (oh),
We need vices (oh),
We've done nothing but brandish our disguises

Those days are dead
(forgive me)
Those days are dead
(forgive me)
Those days are dead
(forgive me)
We need vices to wave to the good old days

She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
She said goodbye to the ground
And jumped

Was losing all my friends
Was losing them to drinking and to driving
Was losing all my friends but I got them back

I am on the mend
At least now I can say that I am trying
And I hope you will forget things I still lack

Yeah
Yeah

Is it in you now?
To bear to hear the truth that you have spoken
Twisted up by knaves
to make a trap for fools

Is it in you now?
To watch the things you gave your life to broken
And stoop and build them up with worn out tools

Yeah *Chorus*

Nothing gets so bad
A whisper from your father couldn't fix it
Your whispers like a bridge, he's a river span

Take all that you have
and turn it into something you were missing
Somebody threw that brick
And shattered all your plans

Yeah *Chorus*

Time to get the seeds into the cold ground
It takes a while to grow anything
Before its coming to an end yeah

Before you put my body in the cold ground, take some time to warm it with your hands
Before it's coming to an end, yeah

It's coming to an end

Do you miss the blend
Of colours she left in your black and white field
Do you feel condemned just being there?

I am not your friend
I am just a man who knows how to feel

I'm not your friend
I'm not your lover,
I'm not your family.

Yeah *Chorus*

Time to get the seeds into the cold ground
It takes a while to grow anything
Before it's coming to an end yeah

I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs
I'd arrest you if I had the time
I'd throw you down in the backseat
As if you committed a terrible crime

We break into towns worth of houses
And rob whole families blind
I'd do it to you like you do it to me
If I knew you would get away fine

I'd drown all these crying babies
If I knew that there mothers wouldn't cry
I'd hold them down and I'd squeeze real soft
And let a piece of myself die

It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're trying
It's hard to be the better man

I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs
I'd arrest you if I had the time
I'd wait for you outside the courtroom (and taunt you)
As all of your appeals were declined

I'd drive my car off of the bridge
If I knew that you weren't inside
Put the pedal to the floor, who could ask for more
A fantastic way to kill some time

If you could lay on your back and be beaten
You could put up your fists and fight
(You could try anyway)

It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're trying
It's hard to be the better man
When you're still lying

It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're trying
It's hard to be the better man
When you're still lying
You're still lying

Who do you carry the torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things down?

Meet me tonight on the turnpike, my darling
'Cause we believe in everything
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown
So we strap ourselves into this engine now
With a guard that we found a way into the backseat

What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say

You were freezing over hell
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say

All that you've got is to ignore the things I was sorry
And sweep me under the rug
And a beating with a book everyone, the book tells you to love

There is an ember in the heart of the kiln
And it's burning hot with love
Burning out my sins until there's nothing but dust
Holding me with care into your cigarette
'Cause the God I believe in worked on a campaign trail

What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say

You were freezing over hell
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say

Who do you carry the torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things the ground?

What did you learn tonight?
You're shouting so loud you barely enjoy this broken thing
You're a voice that never sings, is what I say

You were freezing over hell
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, it's what I say

Feels like we could escape this
I might throw it away
For fear of the silver sun

If you try running a maze
Of your lies, it's too hard to save
You've thrown out everyone

Who do you carry the torch for my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things down?

Meet me tonight on the turnpike, my darling
Cause we believe in everything,
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown
So we'll strap ourselves up to this engine now,
With a God that we found laying under the backseat.

What did you learn tonight?
Shouting so loud you barely see,
You're this broken thing,
You're a voice that never sings, that's what I say.
You were freezing over hell,
You were bringing on the end you do so well
You can only blame yourself, that's what I say

All that you've taught is to ignore the things I was showing
And sweep me under the rug,
You're beating with a book everyone that book tells you to love,
There is an ember in the heart of the kiln and its burning hot with love,
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust,
Rolling me with care into your cigarette,
Cause the God I believe in never worked on a campaign trail.

What did you learn tonight?
Shouting so loud you barely see,
You're this broken thing,
You're a voice that never sings, that's what I say.
You were freezing over hell,
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, that's what I say

Who do you carry that torch for my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground?

What did you learn tonight?
Shouting so loud you barely see,
(feels like we could escape, I don't mind throwing away the filthy silver song.)
You're this broken thing,
You're a voice that never sings, that's what I say.
(if you try running the maze of your lies it's too hard to save,
If you've thrown out everyone.)
You were freezing over hell,
You were bringing on the end, you do so well
You can only blame yourself, that's what I say

When I disappear, do you think all of this will have stood
When I disappear it is clear I am up to no good
Only after you realize that you need what you've already lost

Touch me or don't
(I just wanna know)
Where've you been?

Well drop me a line with a hook and some raw bleeding bait
Well I am uncaught and still swimming alone in the lake
Shimmering under the moon made of anger and hate
Shimmering like a penny out of reach in the subway grate

Touch me or don't
Where've you been?
Leave it alone
I'm sure there's someone who knows where you've been

You never worked well with our group, no one can fault you now.
We'll fix you with cement galloshes, no one can save you now.
Unless you have friends among fish,
There'll still be no air to breathe.
You can drink up the entire ocean
And still find someone
To be everything we know that you'll never be

Touch me or don't
Where've you been?
Leave it alone
I'm sure there's someone who knows where you've been
Where've you been?
Where've you been?
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa, ah!

Please make the technology
So I can turn up your love like some cold machine
Don't feed me scraps from your bed
I won't be the stray coming back just to be fed

I'll be wait
Come and seal the fate, Marie
Just pretend that you want me
To be my bait
To be my

Well don't be that note I can't hold
Well don't be that joke that I told and told 'til it got old
Don't be that hand 'round my throat so I can breath
Say you're my friend but why won't you be my family?

And if you break
Just don't tell me
To be my bait

To be my dream
Tell me you know what I mean
(Prove me wrong)
You set on me but, you are not the sun
You are not the sun
(How do they know where I am?)

(Burn it down)
Outside your cold lips again
You set on me but, you are not the sun
You are not the sun
You are not the sun

So let's pretend that you love me
And be my bait
To be my bait

to moonn6pence from shootingstar



Hey, you're right get your petals out and lay them in the aisle
pretend your garden grows and that it's your day to wed.
we found your man he's drinking up, he's all-american.
and he'll drive.
he's voluntarily graced to end your life,
he'll tidy up,
it's sad to hope leave your shell to us,
you explode,
you firefly, a tiny boat with all,
further on the world tilts back and poison pours.
and so, your satellite.
you're a tidal wave, you're a big surprise.
and I, one more night to be your mother.

this signal's interrupts,
maybe it's frequency's not strong enough.
it remade my hands and smile,
we will miss you but in time you'll get set up,
we will rise!

you're so free, yeah you were right about me,
can I get myself back from underneath this guilt that will crush me,
and in the choir i saw a sad messiah,
he was bored and tired of my laments,
'said I died for you one time but never again.

(never again)
well I love you so much, but do me a favor baby don't reply.
because I can dish it out, but I cant take it.
