Every Time I Cope

Oh I feel it
Time
It goes away
Oh my love
Feel it now
Why
Inside my skull
Every time I show, every time I see
All these foolish blokes
All these fools like me
Me
Every time I cope, every time I see
All these foolish blokes
All these fools like me
It's me
Oh I'm sure
You see through me
Oh it's cold
In here
I'll sleep
Oh my heart
Feel it beat
Free?
Isn't me
Or he
Every time I cope, every time I see
All these cruel assholes
Always cruel and free
Except me
Every time I show nothing pulls at me
Want to call it done
Want to make it be
For me
The light that breathes
The cold
The sea
The living trees
The whole
I believe
The whole of we
Of me

Forgotten Songs
03:43
|

|
I don't forget a thing
I recall everything
Mountains are my home
Meadows are my bed
Forget the song you sing
This new one's everything
Forget the song you used to sing
This new one's everything
Turn around and trust me
This hurts more you than me
Keep a tally going
Pay the piper owing
Meadows are my thing
Better than mausoleums
So forget the song you sing
This new one's everything
Turn around and trust me
This new one's everything
Forget the song you used to sing
This new one's everything
Turn around and trust me
This new one's everything

Reaching the Point
03:56
|
|||
|
Oh I know this love will end with
One of those scenes
From the movies
Where one leaves happy
And one stays behind
To search the night sky
To pick up pieces
And I wish that you would see me again
In the skin and dreams of moon-white whales
'Til the sunrise on the brand new day
Will it rise on us once more again?
We are reaching the point of the end
We are reaching the end
And how did I reach
The point where it feels like heaven wrote me in the wrong movie?
But I'll keep dreaming
As fate keeps scheming
To push us aside
To keep us blind
And I wish that you would see me again
In the skin and dreams of moon-white whales
'Til the sunrise on the brand new day
Will it rise on us once more again?
We are reaching the point of the end
We are reaching the end

Reasons Unknown
03:55
|
|||
|
You keep your secrets closer
Than you keep you friends now
But when the secret gets out
Can you guess who's left then?
In the beating pulse of another night ending
We agree to false love
Daylight-love pretending
For reasons unknown
For reasons unknown
And Blood River fills and calling, rolling, tumbling
Over and over
Another greedy beast says
The world is over
But the birds sing it:
"Not another prophet!"
"Not another saviour!"
Not giving up
Not rolling over
In time
You'll find

Car Crash Love
03:57
|
|||
|
You said you would be mine forever
That's how your story goes
You said you'd never ever ever leave me
Oh no
And I wish that hearts could never break
Made of steel instead of flesh
And I wish that love was not a word you played games with
You said you would pick up all the pieces
No matter what it took
I know that you could never do it
This car crash love is off the road
Broken down and in the cold
You call the broken hearts of yesterday
Tomorrow's angels
But in this heart there is not one
Beat of love that's left for you
If it could it would bring down the sins
Of all you've done on you
You said you would be mine forever

Mr. No
04:53
|

I know that you can put a stop to this
I know that you you can
Even though you say nothing
Even though you show nothing
I know that you are there
I know that we're a burden
So sweet
And bowed down we came to our freedoms
Our realities gone by
I know that our souls are so blind
And you know how the crown wears its king
And you know how flying goes without wings
Being so dumb how can we be wise?
Living so low how can we live high?
And I know that you can put a stop
To this
Even though you say nothing

Leave the Ground
04:16
|
|||
|
You're not quite straight
Not quite right in the head
But you might find love
You might find love
If you leave the ground
Away from the snake pits
You might find someone, somewhere
Far off from this cesspool
But your hands are tied
That look in your eye
Fork-tongued and ruby-eyed
Oh, you're sly
Sneaky guy
I'll just leave the ground
Leave alligator town
It takes a miracle to turn these dead-eyed ice age robots human for a while
Yeah I feel high
Do you feel the heartbeat of the nightmare
Coming round the bend there?
It is coming, it is coming
Down the street
And through your front door
It is coming, It is coming
I feel so high
I feel so high
I feel denied
If this good thing isn't right now
It feels good now
Is it right now?
If this good thing is a nightmare
Is it right now?

Grass Underfoot
04:11
|

|
Don't know where my heart goes
Or that when I say these things
Do I feel I'm closer to you
I know why I feel strange
Like falling down a drain
Here they come the spins again
I don't want to feel this way again
I don't want to give my strength again
Spend it just like money gone to
Wasteful purposes that just don't make any sense
Silent
Silent
In silence
Like fear that comes inside your house at night
Then takes you away
Like eyes that see in the darkened conscience
Cut your empty way
It wouldn't be so hard if it were not so easy
I wouldn't think twice about it, but hey
Morality
Go away I don't want to see you at all
Make me feel like I don't live here anymore
When I walk into the room you stare at the wall
I ain't even a picture up there at all

Oversoul
03:57
|
|||
|
I'm sure there's a bit of mystery
A part in you, you and me
But what is it for us to judge?
I walk this backward sorrow
Of a feeling
Oversoul
So...
I wonder
Could this crestfallen soul
Jump the highest mountain

Wishful Dandelions
03:54
|
|||
|
You keep me back
I keep you back
But somehow we push forward
Treading sly
Through the night
Our histories left 'til tomorrow
I know why we graze sky
Like there's no tomorrow
Unbelievable reasons why this feeling will not subside from my life
Unbelievable prophecies that seem to cause us only more strife
Underscoring where we're going without knowing
Without knowing
Under the bridge
Over your heart
Will you take a walk tonight?
Superstitions breeding new religions
Smoking cigarettes with vampires in the night
In the night
Vampires in the night
Crying
Unbelievable times
When we're alone then I'm with you here until the end of time
Diamond-winged and soaring in the flame with peace of mind
Only when we're alone then will that feeling last the mirrored night
Diamond-winged we're more than children
How these things have lives
Until the end of time
