Here we go
There's no turning back
I'm in control
And you're scared
But don't you fear
I won't let you go
But I
Just Might
But who can say?
That's why I love it!
To see your face
That's why I love it!
Do I make you scared
(It's not me)
I'm in love with you
(But you're too blind to see)
My head's on loose
(But I won't lose it, though)
I
Just Might
But then you say, that's why I love it!
It's how you betray, that's why I love it!

If fears were shades
They'd all be grey
No shapes appear
Down this hole
There's lights that shine
And turn to red
And the pit of my stomach is growing
But I am turning
My back to you
My vision blurs
And it's all grey
No colours I see before me
I force my way through this mess
And the pit of the universe is expanding
But I am turning my back to you
So don't put your hand on my shoulder

Drone

The details have shown, and
You're cover is blown
There is poison inside and
It whithers and dies on its own
I thought that tonight I would want more of you
But I feel nothing's new and I'm losing sight
And time is a waste
'Cause there's too much to taste
By the seaboards where you dock and cast off when you're done
And I'm a drone
But I'm too old and you don't see me
It's these words we rely on
Well, FUCK YOU!
I don't need you
I don't even like you
But still you control me
Oh I slither and hide from the rising tide
Down a landscape of gold where there's nothing sold
I have tried to be nice even offered advice
But you cut me, and still I haven't had my fill
And I'm a drone
But I'm too old and you don't see me
It's these words we rely on
Well, FUCK YOU!
I don't need you
I don't even like you
Well, FUCK YOU!
I don't need you
I don't even like you
So I'm moving on

You cock your gun
But the walls are thin
And I'm down but I am not asleep
I hear her moan
And the walls are thin
And the sound, it sounds so much like me
I thought I heard you say my name
Is it real or am I just dreaming?
You make me weak
But you don't know me
And I made you up from scratch
You're everyone and you're no one
And you do this all of the time
Your body makes you better than me
But your mind tells me it's a lie
I fight you but I'm still drawn to you
If it takes me the rest of the night
But I lie here staring up at the sky
Hoping it'll happen tonight
You cock your gun and the hormones drip
Down your arms, away from your face
I hold my gaze and I disappear
It's safe here where I'm just a trace of something else
You're everyone and you're no one
And you do this all of the time
Your body makes you better than me
But your mind tells me it's a lie
I fight you but I'm still drawn to you
If it takes me the rest of the night
But I lie here staring up at the sky
Hoping it'll happen tonight
Got me in the back, way back in back
Your plan of attack
To stick me way back in the back

The Same

There's a finger
In my brain
I remove it
But it remains
It wriggles until I die
But I keep living
As it appears
'Cause it's the dying
That I fear
And if I stay so still
Maybe nothing will change
Stay the same
Stay the same
Stay the same
Hope that nothing will change
So this finger
In my brain
It sticks there until I grow insane
And if I pull it
Maybe it will die
But that doesn't happen
Not anymore
'Cause it's me who keeps holding up the door
And I'm too scare to move
Maybe nothing will change
Stay the same
Stay the same
Stay the same
Hope that nothing will change

I hear you making sounds
But you're too far off for me to make 'em out
But you hang on just as fast as you can
I'm doing all I know to do
There's mantras and tantrics and sticky goo
And there's livers and airways that have been over-used
I believe in what I'm doing
Half the time
I feel you respond
Please don't take so long
I'm just a step away from falling off this edge
What do you want me to say?
What can I say?
To make everything change?
What do you say?
That I was all wrong
There really is a song
That holds you back so that you're not falling
You're not falling off that edge
There's mantras and tantrics and sticky goo
And there's livers and airways that have been over-used
I believe in what I'm doing
Half the time
I feel you respond
Please don't take so long
I'm just a step away from falling off this edge
What do you want me to say?

There's a time and a place to say the things you like
You're gonna use all the words you know until you're right
'Cause you can't find a way OUT
Bring your gun to a knife fight let's see what you got
You're gonna be a big man someday but you're not
'Cause you just SHIT where you sleep
And we all take it
You want nothing close to equal
And we've been nice for too long
So you just slide right on out of here
Slide right on out of here
The beast is out on the loose again, run and hide!
But the feeling he took from me left me dead inside
So you just play you're little game
And we will break it
You want nothing close to equal
And we are NOT backing down
So let's just burn it all to the ground
Burn it all to the ground.

You Can Settle
04:20

You don't need to, to protect me
I've got that covered for myself
You just lay there, oh where you're laying
There's nothing more for you to do
But that don't mean that I don't need you
I need you always by my side
Laying at my feet, oh with you're head up
Wondering what I'm eating and can you have some
You are the best dog
That shaky leg you stand on soon won't give way
Oh I got it all wrong
I hope you forgive me, someday...
I know you're always on the edge of
Some big disaster, something that scares you
But you can settle, I promise I got you
There'll be no pain where you are going
But if you're scared and you can't find me
Know I'm always thinking, thinking of you
And I will be there, faster then you know
My scent is fading but I'll be with you before it's gone
You are the best dog
That shaky leg you stand on soon won't give way
Oh I got it all wrong
I hope you forgive me, someday...
It should be forever
I'm sorry it wasn't
You fall and you fall and you fall and then everything's gone
You're here then you're not, but the world just keeps moving on

You struck the light of my big night
It took a deal with the devil to get right
But I bet there's dread, deep inside that head
There's nothing left to cling to in the middle of the night
Float away
My insides keep bleeding in stems
Float away
And I just keep on picking at them
I tried to make this the end, a contemplative friend
Something you can rely on when you're riddled by the night
But I'm better off
And there's nothing wrong with me
Don't you see?
I'm still smiling.
Float away
My insides keep bleeding in stems
Float away
And I just keep on picking at them

Swear

Take in the air that surrounds you
(I can breathe)
My heart is breaking and I know
(I can see it now)
I tried, I swear I know I tried
(But here we are)
Somewhere in the deep
Somewhere in the shade from the time it took away
Somewhere you can go
Somewhere, "I will be there when you're looking for a way out"
You know this story doesn't end well
(But it's all I have)
My breathing stops and there's no one here to save me
(From where I ended up)
Somewhere in the deep
Somewhere in the shade from the time it took away
Somewhere you can go
Somewhere, "I will be there when you're looking for a way out"
I've had my day
I didn't know it then
But it's my mistake
You think you have time, but nothing's keeping
(And it slips away)
I've passed away
That's all I have
I have left to say
So pull the shades down
I'm still sleeping
(Here I go)
So pull the shades down
I'm still sleeping
(Here I go)
So pull the shades down
I'm still sleeping
(Please don't go)
