And I had a dream About my old school And she was there all pink and gold and glittering I threw my arms around her legs Came to weeping (came to weeping) Came to weeping (came to weeping) And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although...
więcejRegrets collect like old friends Here to relive your darkest moments I can see no way, I can see no way And all of the ghouls come out to play And every demon wants his pound of flesh But I like to keep some things to myself I like to keep my issues drawn It’s always darkest before the dawn And I’ve been a fool and I’ve been blind I can never leave the past behind I can see no way, I can see no way I’m always dragging that horse around Our love is pastured, such a mournful...
więcejTime it took us To where the water was That’s what the water gave me And time goes quicker Between the two of us Oh, my love, don’t forsake me Take what the water gave me Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow And oh, poor Atlas The world’s a beast of a burden You’ve been holding up a long time And all this longing And the ships are left to rust That’s what the water gave us So lay me down Let the only...
więcejLooking up from underneath Fractured moonlight on the sea Reflections still look the same to me As before I went under And it’s peaceful in the deep Cathedral where you cannot breathe No need to pray, no need to speak Now I am under all And it’s breaking over me A thousand miles down to the sea bed Found the place to rest my head Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go Never let me go And the arms of the ocean are carrying me And all this devotion was rushing out of me In the...
więcejAll alone It was always there you see And even on my own It was always standing next to me I can see it coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight Holding my hand in the pale gloom Can you see it coming now? Oh, I think I’m breaking down again Oh, I think I’m breaking down All alone Even when I was a child I’ve always known There was something to be frightened of You know that I can see you coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight Holding my...
więcejI’ve been losing sleep, I’ve been keeping myself awake, I’ve been wandering the streets, For days and days and days, Going from road to road Bed to bed Lover to lover, And black to red, But I believe, I believe… There’s no salvation for me now, No space among the clouds, And I feel I’m heading down, But that’s alright, That’s alright, That’s alright! That’s alright! And I’ve been taking chances, I’ve been setting myself up...
więcejYou are the hole in my head You are the space in my bed You are the silence in between what I thought And what I said You are the night time fear You are the morning when it’s clear When it’s over you’ll start You’re my head You’re my heart No light, no light in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent A revelation in the light of day You can’t choose what stays and what fades away And I’d do anything to make you stay No light, no...
więcejHoly water cannot help you now Thousand armies couldn’t keep me out I don’t want your money I don’t want your crown See I’ve come to burn your kingdom down Holy water cannot help you now See I’ve come to burn your kingdom down And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out I’m gonna raise the stakes, I’m gonna smoke you out Seven devils all around me! Seven devils in my house! See they were there when I woke up this morning I’ll be dead before the...
więcejOh the river, oh the river, it’s running free. And oh the joy, oh the joy it brings to me. But I know it’ll have to drown me, Before I can breathe easy. And I’ve seen it in the flights of birds, I’ve seen it in you. The entrails of the animals, The blood running through. But in order to get to the heart, I think sometimes you’ll have to cut through. But you can’t… We will carry… We will carry you there… Just keep following! The heartlines on your hand! Just keep...
więcejWhen we first came here We were cold and we were clear With no colors in our skin We were light and paper thin And when we first came here we were cold and we were clear With no colors in our skin ‚Til we let the spectrum in Say my name And every color illuminates We are shining And we will never be afraid again Say my name As every color illuminates We are shining And we will never be afraid again Say my name As every color illuminates We are shining And we will never be afraid again And...
więcejAnd the heart is hard to translate It has a language of its own It talks in tongues and quiet sighs, And prayers and proclamations In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures And short shallow gasps But with all my education I can’t seem to command it And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how I can’t seem to understand it And I would give all this and heaven too I would give it all if only for a...
więcejI’m gonna be released from behind these lines And I don’t care whether I live or die And I’m losing blood, I’m gonna leave my bones And I don’t want your heart it leaves me cold I don’t want your future I don’t need your past One bright moment Is all I ask I’m gonna leave my body (moving up to higher ground) I’m gonna lose my mind (History keeps pulling me down) Said I’m gonna leave my body (moving up to higher ground) I’m gonna...
więcejI was born in a big grey cloud Screaming out a love song All the broken chords and unnamed cries What a place to come from I wish to remain nameless And live without shame ‚Cause what’s in a name, oh I still remain the same You can call it what you want You can call me anything you want You can call us what you want You can call me anything you want Everybody lets you down In this brief? hole of a town What a difference of the rushing out Tell me what you’re running from I know...
więcejHydrogen in our veins, it cannot hold itself, our blood is boiling And the pressure in our bodies that echoes up above it is exploding And our particles that burn it all because they aim for each other And although we stick together it seems that we are stranging one another Feel it on me love Feel it on me love Feel it on me love (Strangeness and Charm) See it on me love See it on me love See it on me love (Strangeness and Charm) An atom to atom oh can you feel it on me love A pattern to pattern...
więcejThis is as good a place to fall as any We’ll build our alter here Make me your Maria I’m already on my knees You had Jesus on your breath And I caught him in mine Sweating our confessions The undone and the divine This is his body This is his blood Such selfish prayers And I can’t get enough Oh, whoa, whoa, yeah Spilled milk tears, I did this for you Spilling over the idol The black and the blue The sweetest submission Drinking it in The wine, the women, the bedroom...
więcejShe can’t see the landscape anymore It’s all painted in her grief All of her history etched out at her feet Now all of the landscape, it’s just an empty place Acres of longing, mountains of tenderness Cause she’s just like the weather, can’t hold her together Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow Cause it’s burning through the bloodline It’s cutting down the family tree Growing in the landscape, darling, in between you and me She wants the...
