I fought them all (I fought them all)
It never ends (It never ends)
I keep tight and
My wonder is less

Ah ah ah ha (Ah ha ha ha)
Ah ah ah ha (Ah ha ha ha)
Ah ah ah oh why

And I'm questioning (I'm questioning)
I'll never ask (I'll never ask)
So you can sleep in (So you can sleep in)
Your perfect address

Ah ah ah ha (Ah ha ha ha)
Ah ah ah ha (Ah ha ha ha)
Ah ah ah oh why

Well you can look inside (Well you can look inside)
This calling curse (This calling curse)
The lines are drawn (The lines are drawn)
This is getting worse

Ah ah ah ha (Ah ha ha ha)
Ah ah ah ha (Ah ha ha ha)
Ah ah ah oh why

Now I can tell (Now I can tell)
You're looking now (You're looking now)
One comes, one comes (One comes, one comes...)
To find us out

Ah ah ah ha (Ah ha ha ha)
Ah ah ah ha (Ah ha ha ha)
Ah ah ah oh why

She was merged she was thin
The case was wide open
I see a heart on her shoulder
With his first name written

CHORUS:
And what do lately
Consider to be yourself?
With your outsize hands
Your molten breath

October is the month
We'll pray for the summer
When trees are branching
A long distant murmur

CHORUS

So keep writing her name
So it's setting in stone
You'll live in the shadow
Of these broken bones

. . .


You began a search
I know many have tried
Not a blind man to guide you
For years let fate decide
So swallowed and followed and played through start to end
With the good weight all carried by your faithful friend

She wrote you a song and you bought a wedding dress
Having handsome bite buxom
Have insured people met
Then sundry and nocturnal
You lay your peace to sleep
With your new loves good fortunes
And secrets safe to keep

What will await you
Can tether no more
What's shrunken withers
In the path to your door

You began a search
I know many have tried
Not a blind man to guide you
For years let fate decide
So swallowed and followed and played through start to end
With the good weight all carried by your faithful friend

What will await you
Can tether no more
What's shrunken withers
In the path to your door

. . .


With the same eyes as me
The same fearing frame
We can try and disguise
Compromise rights
And I know what you're thinking
We wear the same dress
The same colours right
Is this what suits our weakened pride?
How do I know 'cause you're my blood

My blood
My blood
You're my blood

With the kinks and wires like me
The same fearing frame
We can run and hide
See the signs
Call to no-one
Taste with the same tongue
Swelling up inside
We can speak and re-sign
What's yours is mine

Blood
My Blood

. . .


There's nothing left to prove,
We'll stand on our heads and shake at the news.
Silently - we go down.
Never hand-in-hand it's my desire.

When words are failing
I'm useless yet am continuing
What has passed can never end,
And I close my door to everyone.

[ From start to end...We'll start again ] x2

Forever now, I've been allowed to,
Be the lost voice in the cold background.
One step over, one lesson learned
And you're holding your hand - my desire.

[ From start to end...We'll start again ] x2

[ From start to end...We'll start again ] x4

. . .


It only took a glance
Of fortune or guess
A little drumming boy
Was beating in my chest

CHORUS:
La La La

Is this a competition?
I'm definitely winning
Because two by two
They came through
And one in everyone
Fits a million

Chorus

You keep on holding back
Can't break it to yourself
That your life is nothing
But the fear's making sense
The fear's making sense

Chorus

. . .


Your complexion
My reaction
Stumbling phrasing
Awkward duet

CHORUS:
Consequences
Lines of contract
Sentencing the one word answer
Half a whispered word of contest
You sing verse and I sing chorus

Your confession
My reaction
Made for two
Only works with half

Chorus
