The last time that I was here
The faces all look the same as they do right now
But everyone says they've changed
So I'll believe they've changed
But I've been here before
And I fell in love with everyone
(running up stairs)
What we talked about
From mouth to mouth
(running up stairs)
From the basement walls to the waterfalls
The very last thing you said was
"Nothing will feel the same as it does right now."
But everything stayed the same
So, if you're ready to admit that you were here before
I would fall in love with everyone
(running up stairs)
What we talked about
From mouth to mouth
(running up stairs)
From the basement walls to the waterfalls
And everyone feels the same.

Skeletons Join Hands
03:00

Fingers on my forehead synthesize honey in my throat
No, I don't want to kiss
But my dreams are falling out
And listening in
Combine all of the rooms and all of the eyes
And watch how love sees you
Skeletons join hands
And make your love when everyone is dead
Everything will sound strange
When the waves in your brain
Start to bloom in the spring
And sing to you
Let's go back to the places where we were born
And bury what came before.

New Life
01:37

I'm gonna start a new life
One you barely recognize
Watch legacy and history dematerialize
I'm gonna throw it all away
Everything before today
If the dead rise up, count me as one
You could be the last thing that I see
Turning into someone else
I could sing for all the little things
That got lost inside themselves
I'm gonna watch a new life
Disappear before my eyes
An I'll let you all fade out and fall
And I don't care if I'm right
Everything that I used to be
Doesn't matter much to me
See me falling out like money from the clouds
You could be the last thing I believe
Turning into something else
I could sing for all the little things
That got lost inside themselves.

Mighty Cloud

Mighty cloud in the sky, I see you from the bottom
Mighty cloud in the sky the lights are shining out of
Selfish heart's gonna beat in darkness forever
'Cause you can't see from the center
You can't see from the center of the world
Everything that you love is wrapping around you
Everything that you love has finally found you
Up there with your brothers and your sisters
Up there with the jet plane blues
Mighty cloud in the sky making everything new
'Cause you can't breathe underwater
No you can't breathe at the bottom of the ocean
I know how it feels to lose
I've seen how it goes
But I believe there's a heavy-hearted hex at the center of the world
Center of the world
Mighty cloud in the sky and I'm right behind you.

All the broken windows up the narrow street
Letting in the evening light
Showing off the damage on everything
The bruises that get lost at night
And all the crying doggies in the alleyway
Running through their frenzied lives
Dripping through the panic that won't go away
And bouncing off the satellites
I don't wanna tell you what's been on my mind
I can barely look at you
Every time we're talking I'm seeing the signs
I want to leave the room
Like a broken whisper that I never heard
Like a ghost I never knew
Something fucking rotten, and all by design
I'm feeling something coming through
And my eyes close
And my fingers just follow
And I'll spell it out for you
All the busted remnants of the afternoon
Tell me that I must be right
Haunted with the hassle, living in gloom
And feeling like a walking night
But I don't want to tell you what's been on my mind
I just wanna hang it up
Lookin' through your windows
I'm seein' the signs
And it'll never be enough
And my eyes close
And my fingers just follow
And I'll spell it out for you

Miracle
02:51

Atom bomb, I wasn't ready to feel ya
Fall from the skies and tell me my future
Wreck all the lives of my civilized erasure
Atom bomb, I wanted just to be nearer
Burn down my house and kill my whole family
Husbands and house pets
Take pictures of Jeleesa
Oh miracle, you were falling from the sky
Like the last thing on my mind before the end
Oh miracle, can you take away the time
Is this the only way to win the argument?
Atom bomb, I am submitting completely
Get in the car and take me to Denver
Show me a way that I could repent forever
Oh miracle, you were falling from the sky
Like the last thing on my mind before the end
Oh miracle, can you take away the time
Is this the only way to win the argument?
Atom bomb!

When I was living on advice
You could have told me my name then
Washed away at the end of the night
I wasn't sure what to do
At the time, everyone was right
I couldn't be bothered to blame them
By the side of a regular life,
You were the one no one knew
With your ten cigarettes at the side of the bed
And your books piled up
You were listening to something she said
You were thinking about her again
When I was captive of the light
I could have told you your name then
When they hit you from every side
You think this isn't happening to you
With your ten cigarettes at the side of the bed
And your books piled up
You were listening to something she said
You were thinking about her.

Fierce Love
01:24

|

Fierce love, what are you made of?
Am I the part of you you can't refuse?
You always do
I could come back for you someday
Hang those flags on your window
And feel me fall for you
Like you knew I always do
I will come back for you when the winter ends
I will come back for you then.

Oh my dear, it's clear
No one's recovering
Things are done 'round here
Storm clouds are hovering
And maybe that's why
I'm so scared of you all the time
I get scared when you cross my mind
Get so scared I think I might die
I'm sure I would prefer
If you weren't quite who you were
If the lines that we drew could blur
If I could only find the words
This anxiety simply covers me
I see the catastrophe that this is gonna be
And maybe that's why
I'm so scared of you all the time
I get scared when you cross my mind
Get so scared I think I might die
I'm sure I would prefer
If you weren't quite who you were
If the lines that we drew could blur
If I could only find the words
Oh my dear, be fair.

Now is the time when all the children sleep
Now is the time when all the children go to sleep
Go to your room
Go to your bed and dream
Tucked beneath sheets
And the monsters sing
Now is the time when all the children sleep
Now is the time when all the children go to sleep.
