Breathe
Hallicinations start to fade
All the colours are back to grey
I never understood these things I hated,
But now, as we all disappear
The world becomes quiet clearly
Something I can live in
If I could just get through tonight

The poison's in my head
And I can't feel my legs
I'm not feeling anything

I'm standing at the top looking down
Thought I'd be so free
Float in outerspace, take a breath
Don't you breathe too deep
I'm standing at the top looking down,
Thought it'd be so damn easy
I thought it would be easier

Wait, hallucinations back in place
I said I'd call if I can't face
Another day of normal
That's what they gave me
But now the telephone's on fire
And I can't seem to dial
Even though I know
You're there to save my soul tonight

The poison's in my head
And I can't feel my legs
I'm not feeling anything
I can't feel anything

I'm standing at the top looking down
Thought I'd be so free
Float in outerspace, take a breath
Don't you breathe too deep
Stepping off the top, feel the wind
Underneath my feet

Standing at the top looking down
Float in outerspace; there's no sound

The poison's in my head
And I can't feel my legs
I'm not feeling anything

I'm standing at the top looking down
Thought I'd be so free
Float in outerspace, take a breath
Don't you breathe too deep
Stepping off the top, feel the wind
Underneath my feet

Standing at the top looking down
Float in outerspace; there's no sound

I feel alive
I feel alive
I feel alive...

Turn the lights out,
The party is over and the wines all gone,
Your good friends are headed home,
Wish I could be there,
I'm floating,
Was happy to hear you turned thirty-three,
You look good, you're so carefree,
Wish I could be there

But I thought you should know,
That inside I've grown cold,
And I fight every day to lose control,
It's a Saturday,
I'm coming down

Frustrated,
Got caught in the rain going to work today,
Soaked through for the job I hate,
I wish you could be here,
I'm choking,
Swallowed to much of my pride today,
The words that I just won't say,
I wish you could be here

But I thought you should know,
That inside I've grown cold,
And I fight every day to lose control,
It's a Saturday,
I'm coming down

For the first time, I've seen stars at night,
For the first time, I'm on fire

But I thought you should know,
That inside I've grown cold,
And I fight every day to lose control,
It's a Saturday,
I am coming down,
It's a Saturday,
I'm coming down.

Hey, have you fallen off the shelf?
Can I help you get yourself, back together?
I'm so tired, can I help you save yourself?

Have your friends all changed?
All the people that you thought would be around,
As your light goes grey,
Are you losing all the hope you thought you'd found,
I think we're numb (x3)

Hey, have you found somebody new?
Have you found yourself unglued, for the first time in your life?
Can I help you save yourself?

Have your friends all changed?
All the people that you thought would be around,
As your life goes grey,
Are you losing all the hope you thought we'd found,
I think we're numb (x6)

And tell me do you feel like dying?
Tell me does it hurt just waking?
Tell me have you lost the reasons you ever wanted to fight?
Has it left you lonely?
Tell me do you pray for morning?
Tell me does it hurt just waking?
Tell me have you lost the reasons you ever wanted to fight?
And you know it's all impossible.

And nothing feels the same,
Life is full now,
Every morning when the light comes in,
Everybody sings the same song tonight,
Better fly away, yeah

Have your friends all changed?
All the people that you thought would be around,
As your light goes grey,
Are you losing all the hope you thought you'd found,
I think we're numb. (x9)

I once saw a man on fire
Staring out his window
Watching as the flames grew higher and higher
I thought that I saw him cry
Or was he only laughing
As his laugh went brush it off
And maybe we're just like him
Maybe we're all waiting
For a moment to begin

Who of us are open
Who of us have freedom really
Who of us can tell what these dark days will bring
All of us are hurting
All of us are crazy now
All of us are watching the world spin

I once had a bird like you
A bird of prey
Still you're tearing at my insides
And yesterday when you flew so far away
And when you find the morning save a piece for me

Who of us are open
Who of us have freedom really
Who of us can tell what these dark days will bring
All of us are hurting
All of us are crazy now
We're crazy now

I smoked a cigarette
I'll eat the flesh is dead
I love a whisky more or less or moral-less ya
I like the drugs that seal
I love you when we feel
When we feel

I once saw a man on fire
Staring out his window
Watching as the flames grew higher and higher
I thought that I saw him cry
Or was he only laughing
Laughing

Who of us are open
Who of us have freedom really
Who of us can tell what these dark days will bring
All of us are hurting
All of us are crazy now
We're crazy now
All of us are healing
All of us are dreaming
All of us are watching these times of our lives
We want it all
And we want for nothing
For nothing now

Believe in hope
Believe in faith
Believe in things I can't fight
Believe in truth
Believe in slavery
But it's only the television kind

Believe the light will find a way
Believe in jets as they blow into the sky
Believe in you
Believe in me
And all of these things

(Chorus)
Devil's by my side
And the freaks are out
We're enforced tonight
And you open me wide
Cause it's cold in there
And it's warm outside.

Believe that hate
will never die
Believe in sex and love at a dangerous time
Believe in grace
and your intelligence
Believe in exploring the corners of the mind
Believe your truth
is not my truth
that god can exist with many faces at one time
believe that we
will find a way to all of these things

(Chorus)

Hard when you realize
that you'll never have
what you tried to find.

Believe in hope
Believe in faith
Believe in things I can't fight
Believe that somewhere
I see war
But it's only the television kind.

(Chorus)

Hard when you realize
that you'll never have
what you tried to find.

Let it go

If I fell in love,
Would you sold me out,
Would you take me deep,
Would you go without?
If I never leave,
Took the pills again,
Would you love me more?

If I buried you,
Would you bury me?
If I broke in two,
Would that set me free?
If I never need,
Took the life again,
Would you love me more?

And what did you think we would find?
Traveled a million miles but still no sign,
And what did they think we would find?
Pile into anyone we've all gone blind,
Message home

If I'll only you,
We'll keep it complicated,
If you never find out,
Will we still be waiting,
If I'm too strung out,
And I follow you,
Would you need me more?

If I never try,
And we never take,
If we never bend,
Then we'll never break,
If we stimulate,
And we sexualize,
Will you need it more?

And what did you think we would find?
Traveled a million miles but still no sign,
And what did they think we would find?
Pile into anyone we've all gone

So I'm not in love,
I can sort it out,
You can take me in it if,
Or I will go without,
If we never need,
If the pills again,
Would you love me more?

If I warn you,
Will you warn me?
If I break you down,
Will that set you free?
If we never need,
The life again,
Would you love me more,
And more?

And what did you think we would find?
Traveled a million miles but still no sign,
And what did they think we would find?
Pile into anyone we've all gone blind

Message home

Hey, are you asleep now?
I thought I heard you talking,
Cause they're draining out my heart,
And I think I know what's coming,
They can't leave this alone

My oceans are expanding,
And all us fish are drowning inside,
There's pollution on the tide,
And this ship of fools I'm rolling with,
Can't keep me alive

But in this light,
I can see the angels burning from the inside out,
They spread their wings to die,
In this light,
I can see the people, the damaged goods they take this life,
It's passing by

You know that we're sinking,
All your jewels are dragging us down,
But I'm running out of blood taking money over love,
We can't hope to survive,
So ask me if I'm hungry,
While everybody's starving inside,
But the doctor's never there and this medication,
Doesn't really keep me controlled

But in this light,
I can see the angels burning from the inside out,
They spread their wings to die,
In this light,
I can see the people, the damaged goods they take this life,
It's passing by

You,
You know that I'm not that strong,
No one can get out,
I'm not able now,
You,
I know you're here to change,
We all stay the same,
I'm not able now

Are you asleep now,
I thought I heard you talking,
Cause they're draining out my heart,
And I think I know what's coming,
They can't leave this alone

But in this light,
I can see the angels burning from the inside out,
They spread their wings to die,
In this light,
I can see the people, the damaged goods they take this life,
It's passing by

You,
You know that I'm not that strong,
No one can get out,
I'm not able now,
You,
I know you're here to change,
We all stay the same,
I'm not able now,
I'm not able now,
Now.

Car crash east side of town
the waters deep and you can feel your own strength fading
you’re beginning to let go
the bubbles rise as we go down
underwater, overwhelmed
can’t fight the current here
it’s starting to take hold

high above me i can see the surface now
your picture perfect, life is fading out of you
and high above me i can feel the world
but i don't need it
i don't need it
i don't need it
i just need you
i just need you

and you grow colder like dream
i can't believe the practical things
there always out of reach
and i know your not really here
these visions fly so quickly on the edge
there starting to take hold

high above me i can see the surface now
your picture perfect, life is fading out of you
and high above me i can feel the world
but i don't need it
i don't need it
i don't need it

won't you help me with this loneliness
cause i don't know what's wrong or right

won't you help me with this spiritless
cause i can't seem to walk outside

car crash east side of town
the waters deep here, i can feel my own strength fading
i'm beginning to let go
the bubbles rise as i go down
i hit the bottom, overwhelmed
i can't fight the current here
its starting to take hold

high above me i can see the surface now
your picture perfect, life is fading out of you
and high above me i can feel the world
but i don't need it
i don't need it
i don't need it

i don't need it
i don't need it
i don't need it
i don't need it
i don't need it
i don't need it

i just need you
i just need you
i just need you
i just need you

I can see miles above the clouds
and what was it like on the day you fell to earth
knocked you out cold, it's just as well
cause people are cruelest and they don't know

hello
hello
the ships are leaving late this evening
hello
hello
you can't deny that you need it now

where will we be when tomorrow comes
when all the stars are dying in the sky
where will we be when tomorrow comes
only the satellites are circling tonight

i can see blood behind your eyes
and what was it like on the day
you knew you died
wrapped on things i don't know why
cause people are cruelest in their own minds

hello
hello
the ships are leaving late this evening
hello
hello
you can't pretend that you don't need it now

where will we be when tomorrow comes
when all the starts are dying in the sky
where will we be when tomorrow comes
only the satellites are circling tonight
tonight

hello
hello

hello
hello

the ships are leaving late this evening
hello
hello
you can’t deny that you don't need it now

where will we be when tomorrow comes
when all the stars are dying in the sky
where will we be when tomorrow comes
only the satellites are circling

where will we be when tomorrow comes
when all the stars are dying the sky
where will we be when tomorrow comes
only the satellites are circling tonight
satellites are circling
tonight

what was it like
just to have it all
then it slip right through your hands
how did it feel
at that moment
when the earth stopped turning around

[No lyrics]

We are all just aching we’re waiting
For heartbreak in this world of light and darkness
I lost it the ability to see myself more
Clearly I lost it
The ability to see

Have you found what you’ve been looking for
Now you’ve killed all your enemies
But you still want more
When your hate finds the love that it can’t destroy
And when the cancers all gone
We’re still growing old
Old
Older...

I know that your fearless I bought it
What brought you to your knees
Your rage is visible so nearly
Intelligence sets you free
My mind is clearly undoing
The ability to see

Have you found what you’ve been looking for
Now you’ve killed all your enemies
But you still want more
When your hate finds the love that it can’t destroy
And when the cancers all gone
You’re still growing old
Old
Older...

To see
Have you found what you’ve been looking for
Now you’ve killed all your enemies
But you still want more
When your hate finds the love that it can’t destroy
And when the cancers all gone
We’re still growing old

Old
Old
Older...
You're still growing old
Old
Old
Older...

The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists

Bullets for your brain today
But we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

Gravity keeps my head down
Or is it maybe shame
At being so young
And being so vain

Holes in your head today
But I'm a pacifist
I've walked las ramblas
But not with real intent

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

And on the street tonight an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate thisThen your children will be next

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

And on the street tonight an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days

Smells on the air
See there it's crushing
The final impression
The stains on the paper
Where words fell like water
Unearth all the changes that never did matter
I think its beginning to freeze here

Caught in the rage and the fire of things
All the brightness that burns me
I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark
When the nakedness comes
I am shocked by the colour
The glorious weight of your skin
Comes alive
And I never thought we'd make it back so soon
Might be nice but I knew you'd be your own destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I'd make it up to you

Here please forgive me
How could we escape all the bitterness
Piled upon bitterness
Held in the face of the things
That I don't understand intellectualize
Over and over
This helplessness suits us
It's funny how quiet it has slipped to our corners
And worn all our edges away you are watching
Breathing and baiting
Wanting and warming
And cautiously waiting for some simple signal
To creep cross your conscience
Uncover redemption and oh did I mention I carried you down
To the St. Lawrence river
The banks running dirty
The waters beginning to freeze here
Solid by morning and I'll freeze here

Winter by morning
Comes alive
And I never thought you'd get me back so soon
Might be nice but its only if my own destroyer
Comes alive
And I always knew I'd make it up to you

I saw on your face such a curious grin
As I let go your hand I was
Desperate to hold you again
But you're sinking
To deep in the water outsmarted myself and so easily
Gave up what I wanted
Solid by morning
What I wanted
Winter by morning
Comes alive
And I never thought you'd make it up so soon
Might be nice but I always knew you're my destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I'd make it up to you

Solid by morning
And I'll freeze here
Winter by morning
