i've been round the down
care to write it down
i thought i wouldn't be a hero
tell your righteous god
i've found a better sun
but you and i we go right on
side on
oh…
(eye to eye and round and down and round and back again)
clearly i don't know
how you and i will go
for all the reasons that we have
you'll get around this one
i'll feel the recent stone
but you and i we go right on
side on
oh…
(eye to eye and round and down and round and back again)
the black metallic sea
where all the feelings go
it's always easier when she goes
you can't erase the sail
i've never felt so well
but you and i we still go right on
side on
oh…
(eye to eye and round and down and round and back again)
her sun will rise and i am seeking out her eyes
and understand it wasn't really love inside
i figured out another way to reach the site
i rise above then see the fever i left behind

this here's my story
the life and times of me
i thought i had it all worked out
but it fell down on me
the first time i saw you
my eyes were closed to the world
but my mind was wide open
there you were this beautiful girl
and i remember you laughing
at the stupidest jokes i told
and that soft touch, that gentle almost-kiss
when we waited for the train in the cold
but i woke up from the dream,
you were still fast asleep
i got up and i walked away
and you, you called to me
where's everybody gone to now i'm getting old?
what happened to the love i felt?
could it be that i've been left behind it all?
could it be my fault, my fault?
into the wind we ride the time
i've lost your mind in my eyes
what's left to win when i've found my faults are the
only stable things i have?
yeah!
you fade away, fading, fade away
until there's nothing left but one dark thought
i sit around and wait
settle down and die
open up this time
walking up the line
everything you had has gone away
ware the warning sign
open up this time
kill me with your line, yeah
who are you running from?

it takes one little bite and all you see
is everything you want but not everything you need
and don't bother reasoning those things
that don't ever come around, don't ever come around
it's not about who you are or what you do
but rather everything you think and never ever speak
and if you think you’re gonna grow into the man you wanna be
you're laughing bout it now cos that guy changes every week
i'm feeling like i couldn't even breathe
and then i went and killed the fire
won't somebody come and take my time
even when i'm down and choking
light my eyes and then chuck my body down
to the ground
rising up, rising up
fall down get up fight the boredom
don't wanna be the lie machine
cmon you took me down and got your grips in me
cmon cmon you took me down
aint got the time to take a breather
this life is nothing but a bitch of a time
a motherfucking endless line of people waiting round to die
don't count on reason to calm me down when you're around

try taking the final way away from me
and then you'll see what i really mean when i say
don't you forget about me all those things we shared it's something real
it's something real...
all the things you told me when you said nothing at all and everything at once
it's so confusing
and yet so plain and fucking clear: i meant so much and so little to you,
so little to you…
be somebody
hey, i just want something real
not something that just fades overnight
i got a little bit of something else
but nothing ever comes so close
to anything that you ever gave to me
i want it, but i got nothing to show for it
hey you come on
hey you go on
hey you move on
be somebody
there’s a time
where we could be a part of anyone but you

you're so high
you're so much higher than me
dear katy, i did you wrong
no malice or forethought
but i could've told you where i was
i remember you with love in my heart
i hope you feel the same
even though i cast you away
she's so high
she's so much higher than me
this is not some weak attempt to get you back
it's just my honesty, just my honesty yeah
i moved on many, many years ago
i'm still stuck on someone else
is this my honesty? my honesty now yeah
she's so high
she's so much higher than me
i want to be good someday
if only i could find another way
in other words i can't live this way
it's down to me cos there
aint no one else to fuckin blame, no
you can't see, you can't see
everyone leaves, everyone gets away
no one takes the time to explain
everyone is so much fucking higher than me
i won't ever know what's right
she's so high
she's so much higher than me

i_these small bonds
i found my real side
i didn't really lie
i got an itch
i don't think it's real
here on the other side
i don't feel unknown
they got to take my ride
they gotta feel
you got a dope shine
you gotta dream of life
i don't really draw
sign by real
but i am decent i don't ever look it right on
these small bonds are what make everything real
but i'm not beaten low
i'm not beaten down
i take my time and my time reason
i just sat around
waiting to come around
don't you look at me with that beggar's face and smile on
you can't feel anyone else
(batten down and redo)
she lays me down and makes me feel like something special
whispers in my ear everything i need to get on
her body close to mine
her smell all over me
her taste immaculate
i gotta…
i gotta…
i'm holding back now
i'm reaching out now
she's all over me, she's in control
not holding back now
she's right with me now
she's all over me, she's in control
ii_watch out
it's a lonely road you're walking down…
you better watch out when it comes for you
cos it won't be done until it's through with you
you better watch out when it's done with you
cos you're left all alone with nothing for you
iii_bit off more
bit off more than i can find
you can't take anything out my mind
bit off more than i could need
don't go thinking this is all there could be

farther than we couldn't feel
it hurt so bad cos it was real
farther than we couldn't feel
crawl down to me
lay it down for me
figure out that it's not yours
she's staining you
you're not thinking about anything
she's staining you
you're not moving the way you said
raging sixty five hundred thousand degrees in the heat
it's so fucking cold out here
it's a force i fight outside…
feel the wind and the rain outside on fire…
sometimes i think
what if i had…
did i even try at all?
to circumnavigate
my own mythology
and look at you without the thought?
just be a person
that you could love again
instead of holding on too hard!
she's staining me
i'm not thinking about anything
she's staining me
i'm not moving the way you said
raging sixty five hundred thousand degrees in the heat
it's so fucking cold out here
it's a force i fight outside…
feel the wind and the rain outside on fire…
you wanted to feel like it was alright with you

it takes me down
all the way down
you want it all
you wanted everything
now it's all gone
and you were taken down
you can never be the one who feels like this
feels like this
don't take me
don't take me for an answer
to everything you wanted
i got nothing to give and nothing to forget
don't take me
take it down
don't you ever think about it
take your seat and rise above it
breathing in and take your time
and rise above the bottom line
you're so forgotten, so what you gonna feel now?
you can never be the one who
you can never be this
don't take me
don't take me for an answer
to everything you wanted
i got nothing to give and nothing to forget
don't take me
don’t take me
i’ve got nothing to give

forgot a lot, what do we really know?
i wouldn't take, so beneath them grew colder
you were a sight for a real trial
we couldn't fit the way we wanted to
if you were to shine through my eyes
you could take everything with you
my darling, i surrender
you should tell me what to do right now
cos everyone can see me trying to decide away
i went away
didn't take all the time i needed
he sits and waits
beneath him grows colder
plastic sunrise over hidden lies
empty room in a mind full of thoughts
in time our ways have valued to my eyes
you wouldn't care but i would take away everything
everything got lost
your body just makes me lose control
everything got changed
somebody took away my self control
everything inside my being
tells me to just let it go
everything inside my mindset
doesn't like doing what i'm told
