Slow dance with losing at the end
While third rate lovers hone their skills
Just stuck to the breaks that never bend
Smoking sections still waiting for their bill
(Chorus)
More than ever
Seems like nevers what you get
Sleeping through this
Seems like the only thing that firs
Bright eyes and butterflies relax
It hits you harder than the room
Half-mast but faster with your facts
You never thought it'd end this soon
(Chorus)
More than ever
Seems like nevers what you get
Sleeping through this
Seems like the only thing that firs
She walks to the store for some cat box sand
She stops for a drink and meets a man
He says I wish you were over now
He buys her a drink, they stumble to his house
She likes to drink with broken men
They sit at the bar and wait for it to end
She likes to drink with broken men
They sit at the bar and wait for it to end
Don't open the door on a friendless room
This person who came, couldn't come too soon
Then well, he says thanks for coming home
If not for the bar, I'd spend my life alone
She likes to drink with broken men
Sit at the bar and wait for it to end
She likes to drink with broken men
Sit at the bar and wait for it to end
She says, thanks for coming home
If not for the bar i'd spend my life alone
She likes to drink with broken men
They sit at the bar and wait for it to end
She likes to sleep with broken men
All this concern over these cards overturned
The cold light shows too much
Bruise-colored blood who's getting to rush
Smoke made it clear
Holding in the worst
Gives shape to the fear
As they sang along, the chorus and verse
The shake of the shame
But it hangs around your name
For the first time you're afraid
And you take what they left
Choke on their success
But you're nothing anyway
The way I mistook
How an overbite might look
Like a smile on the face of a girl
And the way she's hating the world
Strength in the arms
Pulling empty hall alarms
But nobody heard
In a room where they wait and rehearse
The shake of the shame
But it hangs around your name
For the first time you're afraid
And you take what they left
Choke on their success
But you're nothing anyway
It's getting too much
The bruise-colored blood was beginning to rush
The shake of the shame
But it hangs around your name
For the first time you're afraid
And you take what they left
Choke on their success
There's a cliff
You don't know where it goes
I can tell her
That it goes down
Of all the excuses that you gave
Well, that's the worse I've ever heard
When you're just sick of me
Well tell me how the hell can I be cured
(Chorus)
And I think you might agree
When you said us, well you meant me
And I think you might agree
When you said us, well you meant
And all the corners in the square are filled
I circled round to flag you down
And hopes are high but mine runs dry
I'll whisper something but you better promise not to tell
(Chorus)
And I think you might agree
When you said us, well you meant me
And I think you might agree
When you said us, well you meant
So try to tell me
Why you'd want to be
More like you
And less like me
(Chorus)
And I think you might agree
When you said us, well you meant me
And I think you might agree
You're blowing your chance
You're slow at the start
Show your hand, you're falling apart
And this argument is getting confused
We'll call in the guards
Call them quick
You never work, phoning in sick
You're blaming me but you never prove
And we're rational but you'd never know
Circumstance beyond control
This conversation is ending starting right now
The version of truth that you're sending
Will not be allowed
I'm coughing this copy
I'm talking TV
You're better up writing it out
Than talking to me
Empty bottles on both ends
I'm going to bed
Describing your weekend in detail
Is hurting my head
And we're rational but you'd never know
In this circumstance beyond control
This conversation is ending starting right now
The version of truth that you're sending
Will not be allowed
You're blowing your chance
You're slow at the start
Show your hand, you're falling apart
A stand in to battle for me
To breathe
To breathe for me
I'm braving it briefly
A hand for the one that's beneath
I need
I need
It's swift and it's sweeping me
(Chorus)
I managed the motions
This ache is wide and open
Only after I'm amazed
This damn thing must be broken
This ache is hiding, hoping
Hoping to hold out for a break
Hand in to battle for me
To breathe
To breathe for me
Yeah I'm braving it briefly
Abandon the one that's beneath
I need
I need
It's swift and it's sweeping me
(Chorus)
I managed the motions
This ache is wide and open
Only after I'm amazed
This damn thing must be broken
This ache is hiding, hoping
Well know that, I know this
That they'll want control of you
And hope that but notice
But you know they never do
And there are better days waiting for everyone
Slow starts, cold hearts will always be cold
Well they'll always be cold
Sat up, shut out
We know but you're never told
You can be grateful
You can be strong
We are not wrong
No one can love you
Fathering unto
We are with you
Know that we wish there were circles in all
And hope that but notice
As you walk through hopeless halls
And there are better days waiting for everyone
But cheekbones, good homes
Won't always be there
They won't always be there
Set out to shut up
And you know that you want them to care
You can be grateful
You can be strong
We are not wrong
No one can love you
Fathering unto
We are with you
Come down it's alright
A tower of luck
But you don't know it yet
You can be grateful
You can be strong
We are not wrong
No one can love you
Fathering will undo
In the face of this
We're calling off the kiss and you sang "Higher"
Looking great today was sad
I'm sick of feeling bad far away
Crying over me know you by your sound
But hummingbirds are winding down
They're winding
And the rain on the red clay bricks
Crumble down and bury this
The safe cannot protect failing vision
Frigid architect, the ranks are thinning out
They have flaws they are not detecting now
Measure in degrees
The arc of how we fell
Tell them all to go to hell
And take everything
Stars are never right
Burning fast tonight
They radiate their dirty light
So I can see
Falling over me and I am not disturbed
There are places I can hide
In this world
And the rain on the red clay bricks
Crumble down and bury this
The safe cannot protect failing vision
Frigid architect, the ranks are thinning out
Well Henry hammers harder than the rest
He puts his daughters to the test
He says I'm trying to do my best
In this much he has confessed
Well the love lines with the rest
The love lines will protest for henry
And Henry hammers down
Well they can't live without him
Well Henry swings the hate that he misplaced
The conspirators can't face him
While they're plotting to replace him
In his mind they have confessed
Well that the love lines with the rest
The love lines will protest for henry
And Henry hammers down
Well they can't live without him
And he's standing alone
In a room of his remorse he waits alone
And he's standing alone
With this wilt he has formed
He waits alone, he waits alone
And Henry hammers down
Swears at this whole town
I held the hand that held the rock that broke the glass out of the window
I told a friend about a friend who said I'm wrong yeah what does he know?
I slit the wrist I made a fist I tightened up and let the blood flow
I told a friend about a friend
He said I'm wrong yeah what does he know?
And the sound of all of this was so appealing
So simple in the secrets we were told
I fell asleep just staring at the ceiling and dreamt of heart carved trees that never fell
I held the hand but couldn't stop the broken glass from coming too close
We were ashamed it could not work but I moved too slow
We tied our wrists but still insist we had not lost the strength on our own
I told a friend about a friend
He said I'm wrong yeah what does he know
And the sound of all of this was so appealing
So simple in the secrets we were told
It's cold enough to break
Beneath the weight of this mistake
And no one can tell me it's alright
I hope it's not too late
For the man who's less than brave
And no one can tell me but no one can tell
Deny the charges, call collect
Fodding over the failed attempt
And I am failing you
There are answers, never tell
Sharing rooms with cancer cells
I am not immune
Call out and come down
I finally recognize
Tired angels barely able
Keep me safe tonight
It's cold enough to break
Beneath the weight of this mistake
And no one can tell me it's alright
I hope it's not too late
For the man who's less than brave
And no one can tell me but no one can tell
We're keeping quiet and we'll decide
What's desperation, sick inside
I am not allowed
There are reasons I will keep
Ever-hopeful fall asleep
I can show you how
Call out and come down
I finally recognize
Tired angels barely able
Keep me safe tonight
It's cold enough to break
Beneath the weight of this mistake
Tangling up at the foot of your bed
Wonder who's next both went ahead
She swears the passion is past me
She will outlast me
The try to look bored
Well fall on the length of the sword
She's falling faster I cannot ask her
So to bed all can decree
Holding your breath, afraid to breathe
This is the last time
Cinema stare and their hands
Tangle up in the cinnamon hair
And the freeze I cannot let go
They can't afford but it picks up
His clothes from the floor
And he leaves and this will let her know
Find a way so they can believe
Breaking their hearts they wear on their sleeve
But you will not break mine
There's no darkness in the dark for them
There were chances for the ball to end
So to bed all can decree
Holding your breath, afraid to breathe
This is the last time
Fall to waste they can believe
Breaking their hearts they wear on their sleeve
I fathomed love the rest tonight
Change is all the rage
There are catapults
There are bare insults
I can see forever all these things
They are obvious to me
We are flawless proof
We are breaking loose
I am ready to expire in all directions
All this breaking news
Just keeps breaking you
We will keep it there for your protection
These happenings keep happening
And now movements aer making moves
There are fingerprints, subtle hints
There are things you cannot choose
I can see forever all these things
They are obvious to me
We are flawless proof
We are breaking loose
I am ready to expire in all directions
All this breaking news
Just keeps breaking you
We will keep it there for your protection
Honestly I never thought
Could ever be this great of cost
Openly I accept the separation cuts ~
We are flawless proof
We are breaking loose
I am ready to expire in all directions
All this breaking news
Just keeps breaking you
Well fold this up
There's a message somewhere
And I don't know what it is
And I don't know that I care
And I pace myself
'cause' there's no traffic lights
To tell me when to stop
To make sure I do things right
A page of noise
To spell this out
To remind me what to do
Who says I ever knew?
And I grind my gears
To get out of here
This mess demands my best
And I haven't seen my best for years
(Chorus)
And I hope everyone won't see
Because this all depends on me
The current addressee's not there
Well this mess follows me everywhere
Well those this up
This message somewhere
And I don't know what it is
And I don't know that I care
And I pace myself
'cause' there's no traffic lights
To tell me when to stop
To make sure I do things right
A page of noise
To spell this out
To remind me what to do
Who says I ever knew?
And I grind my gears
To get out of here
This mess demands my best
And I haven't seen my best for years
(Chorus)
And I hope everyone won't see
Because this all depends on me
The current addressee's not there
Just because I was one who bore the boxing gloves
And I'll collide on your side
Look what we found under bridges, underground
Sensation was feeling his way around
Save your own skin
A fish who lost his fins
A fight that he never wins
Fell out of love was betrayed from above
Your pride was not safe like you thought that it was
So well-behaved but this would soon change
Somehow sensation is learning your name
Save your own skin
A fish who lost his fins
They are careful what they wish for
They are constants here, I guess
They are happy doing nothing
I am happy doing less
There are patterns in your motion
There are things you can escape
There is beauty in this tension
There are ways to navigate
They all marvel at invention
They have dreams that will deflate
They can ask all their intentions
They can wait to be destroyed
They have things they cannot mention
They have subjects they avoid
You have only this chance
They are giving more
They have expectations
They are underscored
You have only this chance
You have asked for more
They have expectations
Warned too late a simple reduction
Not with your weight
Well I'm sorry there's nothing
And I believe just can't fight this suction
And I believe
And it's over before it was done
There's nothing to fear
Filled with courage
They cannot conceive of wasting another year
And sworn to their fate but lost the instructions
Not with their hate
They should've thought it was something
Well I believe I just can't fight this suction
And I believe
And it's over before it was done
There's nothing to fear
Filled with courage
Sitting close, under hush of mother told me
We're not waiver
We load you on cities too much
It is too
Take this cross
Somehow I'm lost without my anchor
Cut this rope I never wash
I am sunk with out this anchor
Now I'm struck with the beauty of this favor
It is too much
Now I'm numb wanna cut me with their razors
Well, they will cut you with their razors
We spoke soft we lived across i was unstable
We load you on cities too much
It is too
Now I'm struck with the beauty of this favor
It is too much
Now I'm numb wanna cut me with their razors
It wraps around the cord for him
Said I'm wasting, sinking
Soaking in to bones and cartilage
Crossing out the quarter where he lives
So I have arrived
Know this nothing gets me nowhere
Know I am larger than this lie
Our generations
I have only one regret
At the moment I forget
Any takers on this life
And if you're the last one left
This is my request
Could you just shut off the lights
Take a sample and let it testify
Drowning endless estimation anger of my life
Terrorized to the ending of my end
Everything is absent is nothing I can give
So I have arrived
Know this nothing gets me nowhere
Know I am larger than this lie
Our generations
I have only one regret
At the moment I forget
Any takers on this life
And if you're the last one left
This is my request
He carves the lines
In perfect a thousand times
And soon it will be
He sings a song
It's out of tune
It's all wrong
And soon it will be
His hands, they shake
Aface in not pine
And soon it will be
His lanterns he lights
Can luminate his life
And soon it will be
He tries to build
The fog lights can't be filled
And soon it will be
His hands they shake
Aface in not in pine
And soon it will be
And it sits in his right hand
But he never understands
And while nothing's getting done
Fumble for the lightswitch
Get this off without a hitch
Got to know sometimes it's hit and miss
But I don't want to waste this wish
(Chorus)
Rub a lamp or lick a postage stamp
Get this off without a hitch
Rub a lamp or lick a postage stamp
But I don't want to waste this wish
(Chorus)
Rub a lamp or lick a postage stamp
Get this off without a hitch
Rub a lamp or lick a postage stamp
And it's like, she don't know much
He'll tell her what she needs to know
And she'd love, to start packing up
If she had somewhere else to go
And she'll tell all her friends
Because she wants to
And she wants them to
Understand what she's been going through
For a simple system, to resist him
She'll hold her breath 'til she turns blue
(Chorus)
And it seems like to him she's just a fixture
And if she ever left, well I know he'd never miss her
To him she's just a fixture
And if she ever left, well I know
(Chorus)
And it seems like to him she's just a fixture
And if she ever left, well I know he'd never miss her
To him she's just a fixture
And if she ever left, well I know he'd never miss her
And it's like, she don't know much
He'll tell her what she needs to know
And she'd love to start packing up
If she had somewhere else to go
And you know she'd go
Laughs at all my friends
Because I want to and I want them to
Understand what she's been going through
For a simple system, to resist him
She holds her breath 'til she turns blue
(Chorus)
And it seems like to him she's just a fixture
And if she ever left, well I know he'd never miss her
To him she's just a fixture
Take a second, think of everything you've done
You're getting warmer, while your former
Blocks out the sun
Standing close to the ground, a lucky charm he found
To wish this away
Pressing deep in his palm for some kind of calm
To make things seem okay
(Chorus)
Places you should never go
And that's exactly where you've been
And people you should never know
The ones you call your friends
They're sealing fates tonight, underneath the cheap lights
Let's make sure that we can't talk
And you don't twist your words
No matter what I've heard
It's just the way they talk
Standing close to the ground, a lucky charm he found
To wish this away
Pressing deep in his palm for some kind of calm
To make things seem okay
(Chorus)
Places you should never go
And that's exactly where you've been
And people you should never know
The ones you call your friends
(Chorus)
Places you should never go
And that's exactly where you've been
And people you should never know
Kill the first one that escapes
From the basement
A move to try and suffocate
Your replacement
Holding back the hand that shakes
He waits for
He waits for
An open space out on the floor
He waits for
He waits for
(Chorus)
Effortless - distance yourself from the rest
Effortless - a wishing well that won't confess to
Effortless - distance yourself from the rest
Effortless - a wishing well that won't confess to
Kill the first one that escapes
From the basement
A move to try and suffocate
Your replacement
Holding back the hand that shakes
He waits for
He waits for
An open space out on the floor
He waits for
He waits for
(Chorus)
Effortless - distance yourself from the rest
Effortless - a wishing well that won't confess to
Effortless - distance yourself from the rest
Hey, is this what I deserve?
The killing me is over
And I guess I got it right well maybe that's because
I tried so many times
And so I say I didn't mean I
It doesn't matter now
And even though I didn't really like
The way you showed me how
C'mon now, you know they'll walk you through it
It never seems to satisfy at all
You come around but you know they'd see right through it
You're too busy reeling from the fall
Unsympathetic eyes watch you every time you dive
They're laughing while they say you'll never learn
And seems so well disguised but the failure still arrives
They're thinking that you'll never see this turn
This pathetic guy feels it every time he dives
He's laughing because he knows he'll never learn
And he seems so well disguised but the failure still arrives
God knows I know I'm not sure
But I'll decorate the spine for her
We're not who we might prefer
The motives move so self-asssured
They saddled around me
A black and empty hole
I'm fast and I'm friendly
I begged to reverse the roles, reverse the roles
God knows I know I'm not sure
But I'll decorate the spine for her
We're not who we might prefer
The motives move so self-asssured
They're tearing the bark off, it was already torn
They lie with their hearts crossed
With words that were one
They're broken and breathless
They fall through these folds
We're hopelessly helpless
They begged to reverse the roles, reverse the roles
God knows I know I'm not sure
But I'll decorate the spine for her
We're not who we might prefer
Tear the feeling from the fool's heart
It seems the meaning just escapes you
And you're nowhere near the worst part
His arrows struck him in this heart he'd never use
Sounds good, he sounds alright
On the first day he swears
The secrets in the sacrifice
Broken banister will fix him
The flight of stairs has let him through
Bent-over, brought to his addiction
He surfaced once, but his courage was confused
Sounds good, he sounds alright
On the first day he swears
Casting me plaster
It's dry today
Can't spell disaster
Can't spot the taste
And I don't understand
This movie of the week
Counting underhand
It happens while I sleep
(Chorus)
Casanova takes this over, pushing through
Casanova pulls one over, over you
Casanova takes this over, pushing through
Casanova pulls one over, lights the candle up for you
Can't beat the bastard
He's on the make
Forcing it faster
Can't stop to wait
And I don't understand
This movie of the week
Counting underhand
He's coming off so deep
(Chorus)
Casanova takes this over, pushing through
Casanova pulls one over, over you
Casanova takes this over, pushing through
Glue yourself to the back
A stack that's never seen
Rub the gloss right off a shiny magazine
And god you'd hate to lose this
A citywide approved wish
A way to make yourself complete
(Chorus)
And you can't back it up
It's a hopeful kind of hate
The kind that lies to make you wait
And anyone can tell to see
It's a brand new way to be
But you can't smile through those teeth
Lose yourself in the back
A place that makes things seem
A little dull beneath this shining silver screen
And god you'd hate to lose this
A citywide approved wish
A way to make yourself complete
Forty more than I can take today
Wrap it up in cellophane
Throwing out for safety's sake
'Cause they'll just think it sounds the same
(Chorus)
I'll go a day
I'll go a day
I've gone for days
I know a way
I know the way
But I can't speak
And if I stay
Well I'll have to make this up
Sixteen days to find a way
To try and get this shut
And I'll be gone
So I'll be safe
Busy scratching out this ache
Taking pressure off my face
We'll throw this out for safety's sake
(Chorus)
I'll go a day
I'll go a day
I've gone for weeks
I know a way
I know a way
But I can't speak
And if I stay
Well I'll have to make this up
Sixteen days to find a way
And the day was dangerous to everyone
Well they're not surprised
It's just begun
And the way that flat-top bitch was having fun
These were aching waves
Your covered one
We are always over-anxious
There to thank us
Far over me now
We are arrows to the action
Never happens the way I think it should
And the sun was burning blisters in my back
Their permanence we couldn't ask
It was done floating weightless on attack
I was sinking slow could not relax
We are always over-anxious
There to thank us
Far over me now
We are arrows to the action
Never happens the way I think it should
Through the brush and pine trees
And the rushing hands freeze
When I realized they're mine
And the water tears us
From the sunlit terrace
We're descending by design
I'm amazed how perfectly we match decay
We're getting lost we're not the way
And the day was dangerous to everyone
We were not surprised
It had just begun
We are always over-anxious
There to thank us
Far over me now
We are arrows to the action
