As Tall As Lions Album

No, hesitation
no, the things that I've
done wrong you want to know
but do you want to know?

one wrong desire
leaves one more bullet
in my head
i'm breaking

it takes one small
compliment
that could save this boy
from the life he spent
but we're writing in his
eulogy we didn't know
how could we know?

no conversation
no cigarette to start it up again
no room for heroes
they're aleady dead
we're breaking

i believe that i will be remembered,
and i believe that i will be forgotten by a few.
but even if this life is never-ending
we'd get the forks and get the cake
and come on boys let's celebrate

There’s no sign of love
I can see the faces
underneath the smile
everyone’s alone

And they don’t believe you so
no, they won’t believe you, no
we are the only ones
that won't let go

get somebody else to
tell you how you feel inside
let it go, let it go

this seems so surreal
keg of empty promise
constantly I feel
shaking in my bones

And they don’t believe you so
No, they won’t believe you, know
am I the only one
who hurts my soul

Get somebody else to tell you how you feel inside
and you let somebody else drag you down
don’t fake it all, don’t fake it all
You're the leader in the basement
let it go, let it go

I’m a fool at heart
I’m weighted up against
the cruelest of hearts
I’m weighted up against

I sing sweet again
I sing sweet again
I sing sweet again

Don’t feel bad
Do what you want no, no
I want to believe you so
Do what you want no, no
Why should I feel so bad
we’re keeping it no, no...

Get somebody else to tell you how you feel inside
and you let somebody else drag you down
But don’t fake it all, don’t fake it all
You're the leader in the basement
let it go, let it go

Don’t think you can get out this easy
I feel it too, but I'll never move
It's what you didn’t do that’s making you look so guilty
of hiding the truth the you really feel

I'll remember your smile
coming out as I cling on with eyes
cursed all the sky you were on

some things are better off left unsettled
go close your eyes to try to forget
its so you to walk all the world’s laid footsteps
hoping that you did nothing at all

I'll remember your smile
coming out as I clinged on with eyes
curse this star we’re on

I've been so in love
i stutter as my life unfolds
don't ask, you won't be told.

you broke the promise
i'm lying on the floor tonite
to dream of all those empty memories of singing on that carousel we'd ride together.

hey mother, why do you cry? tell me what the birds have said about my father.

hey father, what do you know? "lovers on the carousel won't ride forever."

i walk to the ocean. i'm looking through kaleidoscopes to see the colors.
don't say, you "saw writing on the walls," if you believe that simple words will make a difference.

sick sick my heart. i want to die, so that I can stop this crying

Tonight,
pretend you're an acrobat
and you're being thrown
on top of the world

Do you still wish you were beautiful?
because you will always be beautiful...

Tonight,
pretend you're a cigarette
and you're being smoked
by a picturesque girl

Do you still wish you were beautiful?
because you will always be beautiful...

and you will always be beautiful,
you will always be beautiful

You’ve got me baited
the hook's in my mouth
but I don’t want to let you know

you see, I fall so slowly like leaves in the air
it's tearing me to bitter end
I guess there’s no way to make love
and not break our hearts

And you're fueled on failure
The mistakes we've made
and regrets we've saved
have all scarred
too deep to heal your wounds

It’s strange how it goes
when nobody knows you’re not alive
I guess there’s no way to make love
and not break our hearts

what could feel
Someway you feel so...
we're falling asleep

I'm lighting matches off of
you and burning bridges all
for you.
Their fires leave a
perfect view of what seemed
to be your mouth letting
loose one more regret.
The two of us never looked so bad.
I've watched the changes
through black eyes, it's been
like a movie for all my life.
I've watched the changes
and you don't know the half
of it.
God this makes me sick
to say, but my one last
regret is that the two of us
never felt so right

[No lyrics]

Can foolhardy love affairs
be more than just wet thighs?
all that you're giving me
I don't recognize

the strength of your beauty's been
somewhere seeking solitude
but you’re just afraid of me
it's all in your eyes

and here we are
my heart's in your hand
we did this all wrong
let's do it again
you're a gun

this bad taste of leaving
will rush through our mouths
the words that I'm sealing
I'll start with now

and if my words were stone
I'd kiss them in your mouth
and though you're the lion
I'll drag you down

let's sing tonight
holding my hand
we could be friends
but I'm better off sleeping alone

I'm nothing, like an urn
I'm filling my body with flesh the you’ve burnt

Bend, bend at your knees
Bend so it breaks
into a world we lost before
Don't rediscover the soul
Know, know that your old
Know how to act
Act so infeared
Don't delay, I always wanted to know

She found another lover
She found another friend
Strange how reactions
Get lost in the end

Once, once in awhile
Maybe you'll smile
Maybe you'll show who, who you are
You feed the fire, that burns

Rise, don't try to spin,
'Cause its falling down
Into a framed crowd
Like before, its fire
It burns

Just grow old

She found another lover
She found another friend
Strange how reaction
Get lost in the end

Don't take Jesus
He's courageous
Like the Lion
Or the faceless

I’m sleeping tonight with all the wolves
we’re dreaming of life that's better planned
as long as the wind that falls isn't longing for revenge
I should be safe
we should be safe

Here's to bitter ends,
so watch as your friends enjoy sins,
and embrace them,
stories they've told through ears on the walls,
speak softly to them all
