Альбом As Tall As Lions

My heavy head is full of debris
Sometimes I wish this city would
sink in the sea
'cause even when I find the love it's fake
and everything I want to touch
would break

In some strange way
it's like you're never there
You just float by
crawling in the air
I've been so tired
I can barely breathe
Open your eyes
Once and try to see

So don't say you'll see me

This skeleton town
with snakes in the grass
where every single breath you take might be your last
And even when you find the love
it's fake
and everything you try to touch will break

Our crooked feet
burn up the street
and every time we're passing by
you feel the heat
of 80,000 burning souls asleep
There's 50,000 crying out to me

Summer,
It's been three years since I last saw
that loneyly smile
Bound to be a thousand more
'till I can find
a face I loved as much as yours
mi hermosa

Never
would have thought you'd catch my eye
across the room
Broken English, a goodbye
that came too soon
Who needs words when you reply
con su cuerpo?

I've been stuck
on your foreign eyes
They have struck for better boy
We put your lives on our shoulders
but these arms are too weak to hold us

Dreaming
'bout some drunken melody
you sung before
Verses beautiful and strange
I love that song
I am strong beneath the fold
of all that flies

Haven't found all that I'm looking for
Lost your ghost somewhere in Samana
I run my fingers across windows to trace
all the outlines that make up your face
Haven't found all that I'm looking for
Lost your ghost somewhere in Samana
Try and try there's no use to pretend,
all I want is to see you again

Sing into the moonlight
Who could ask for more?

You look like someone
tongue-tied
finding the word "goodbye"
Baby I
hope that you get a clue
soon before you die
You're only good
when you're on your back you
evening virgin cotton nymph
Then we'll see
Who's kidding who now,
You're an overpaid actress

And it feels so down
Yeah, I feel so down

I'm an anthropophobiac
A wolf from the steppes
with pills in my coat
and wine on my breath
A goodnites rest
on the floor,
near the bed
where I rest my head
Through the door someone says
"Let the dead bury the dead"
Unplugged the phone
stopped eating and sleeping
I can't get over your love
I bought some drugs
that I never heard of
and asked waht the
damage was

You're lost in your mind
I believe that anyone can see it
For only one time
we can be together if you want it.
I know what you want
but baby what you want I just don't got it
Get away from my door
I heard you sell the truth but I don't buy it

Have I
ever told you before
I think you're beautiful when
you're sleeping?
I have faith you watch me in
my slumber, too.
If I'm
all that you're looking for,
tell me,
why is there a river streaming
down your face?
Sometimes makes me wonder
all about your
love.

After some time
it's something i find true. Love's
not a grave, it won't decay
on you.
Too many days I was afraid
of love.

What
if nothing is just that and
suffering's the only thing we're good
at?
Dreamning, picture that
a whole world in a slumber.
But don't get
too attatched to the living,
even every single memory's
fleeting.
That's a fact, being torn
asunder.
But to my suprise, no reason
why, one day i woke
up and realized.

Give it to me,
love. I'll keep you in my focus
with love and affection

I know
we're all souls just trying to connect with
someone, but we're all
left searching on our own

Tell me that you could hear it
three taps under the floorboard.
Dont' say I'm losing it,
maybe you're deaf.
Could have sworn
that I locked
all these windows fairly tight.
Shut the door
hear a knock.
She starts turning off the lights

And from the corner of my eye
I saw your dressed all in white
I saw you pass right by
But maybe I had too much wine
I hope you come back tonite
you never said goodbye

Tell me that you could see it
a ghost who's skin is porcelain
Don't say I'm losing it
maybe you're blind
Saw her walk
through a wall,
turn her head and look at me
In a York hotel hall
I am falling to my knees

Softly, as your dress flows,
you say that you're alone.
But I know I can't leave you
lonely and on
your own

I'm sick of waking up alone,
Honey I'm pleading
let's put away the sticks and stones
be human beings
I have the sense to be afraid to be a fool

You push me out again
You push me up against a wall
You told me once your body flowed
with milk and honey
but what happened to our boy
inside your tummy?
I have the sense to be afraid, to be a fool
but I'm on the fence
to make you stay or to be cruel

You perfume covered helpless louse,
look on the bright side
See, every time you laugh out loud
I'm crying inside
I have the sense to be afraid, to be the fool
Try commonsense. Make me believe
believe in you

I should have known you'd kick me hard
when I'm on the groun

How many days are your afraid
of turning off?
You'd be amazed how easy
it's been to sleepwalk.
I'm in a state where Ican't tell what's right from wrong
I'm making a face
that I've been holding for far too long.

I'm on the cross
There's nothing to hide when all is lost.
I'm on thecross
A thruth or a lie, which could be worse?

How many days until
I can see that I'm just find?
I try and I try but I jsut need al ittle time
I havn't slept in one month
things just don't seem okay
And every time the sun's up
it's a new yesterday

Drill the pressure right out of my head.
Maybe I'm scared.
Maybe I am
weak and paranoid
When I speak white noise
pours out from my voice.
Every time I move my lips, it tears
your little ears to bits
I'm frozen all the time, a deer in headlights
I'll get to the point
you can't depend on love or truth
to get your through

Do you want me to explain?
Are you broken at the bone?
Do you try and rearrange
a better life,
a bigger home?
So turn off the lgihts
or at least unplug the phone
I'm a threat when I'm left alone
How many days
are you afraid of turning off?
Do you feel like letting go?

It's been a good life, I'll be sad to see it go

Heard your broken voice on the telephone
made my heavy heart sink like a stone
and after all this time, i should have known
you'd let me down
right down to the bone
you know you're right, im incomplete
and i could never write down what i mean
and if you told me that the world, was ending tonight
that's alright by me
hey babe
i feel as though, i failed you
i feel as though, you don't want me
i keep kickin' myself
they say that anything can be replaced
found another girl to pass the days
she is beautiful, she has your face
their is nothing, time will not erase
and hey babe, I feel as though I've lost you
and I feel as though, you dont want me
and I keep kickin' myself
and lately, when i sleep alone
i feel that, i oughta learn
you dont need me
just stop kidding myself

Dear, I fear that we've gone wrong
You've always hung me from teh gallows
Well I don't feel I'll be forgiven

If you don't see it
you can never walk away
If you don't feel it
it's going ot get harder everyday
But you don't want love
keeping you awake at night
'till you can sleep

Dear I feel that you've settled
You've always pushed me in the shadow
Well I don't feel you'll be forgiven

When you wake up alone
do you love me still?
Do you question the choice you made?
Do you wake up at all?

If love comes your way
don't be afraid
Unlock the box you heart's encased
Hope it wont change
and beware of the games
that she'll want to start playing
Oh, lately babe
I stay awake thinking this life gets lonely

Well maybe I'm just scared
scared to let you go
I want you to know
right from hello
your love just keept me wondering
Well maybe I'm just tired
tired of never knowing

I know I'm not good enough for you

If I can be saved
show me the way
Help me help myself, baby
Don't be confused
our love is true
Just tell by the way I'm looking at you

Everyday slips away
life becomes a soft tone
for no reason
your mind grows up
Start making love
going through the motions
Tell me how come
no one gets what they really want
love only when
it's convenient

[Chorus:]
We act like we know more than we know
You treat her like it's something you own
Yesterday,
Thought I heard you say
Who you kidding?
We're all pissing
into the wind
wearing sheep skins
Hiding from all the same things
that our dad's did

[Chorus]

no one gets what they really want
love only when
it's convenient
You treat her like it's something you own

But maybe I'll find you
Maybe I'll find something I love
