I go outside to find the middle of nowhere
Everyone needs their own empty stage
Just like the sky with no beginning or ending
I like reading a book without a last page
Stop and turn around
And say it with your eyes closed
You don't need to welcome me home
Stop, turn around
Try looking with your eyes wide open
As we live our lives through a series of glances
And you smile without smiling for a whole another year
I think we need a little bit more understanding
I think the future is already here
So I won't ask you to stop and turn around
And see it with your eyes closed
You don't need to welcome me home
Stop and turn around
Try looking with your eyes wide open
Welcome home
Welcome home
Welcome home
Everything is always changing
And nothing stays in the same place for too long
I've been too long awake
And everyone seems like they're slowly changing
No one stays in the same place for too long
I've been too long awake
Together we're younger than you are
Forever you're older than we are together
If we had so much to do
Together we're younger than you are
The Space Between All Things
All the walls of your house,
were painted in deep blue,
you're at that indecisive age to choose colours that reflect you,
and everything and nothing,
is in the space between all things,
that fascinates as much as it agitates,
words turn me into what I say,
as you pull your yellow stained fingers,
through your un-kept hair,
I noticed that the corners of your jeans,
were folded neatly into squares,
your thoughts are the strangest place that you've ever been,
stranger even than Los Angeles,
it's like a cinema where they never ask you to leave,
So while you wait and are you wait,
and concentrate on being as far away,
from fate so while you wait,
and concentrate on being as far away,
She had a north Atlantic film star grace,
that's why her tears are out of place,
that kind sadness has more style,
so nothing will make her smile,
except as soon as anything happens,
she'll drag me on the street,
and hand in hand we stand protesting,
while everyone is still asleep,
So while you wait and are you wait,
and concentrate on being as far away,
from fate so while you wait,
and concentrate on being as far away,
so while you wait and are you wait,
and concentrate on being as far away,
from fate so while you wait,
and concentrate on being as far away,
Are you wait,
are you wait,
are you wait,
It felt cold inside
So we threw the radio onto the fire
It felt good to watch it
Burn away to nothing
You said you felt weak
I hope its got nothing to do
With the things you told me
Nothing but your eyes
Looking down on the third place
You've got nothing but determination
To come in third
You were always going to be like this
If it's somewhere that's as cold as this
You were always meant to be like this
In the cold
It felt warm inside
So we threw the television on the fire
It wasn't frustration
Because I had nothing to throw away
When there's nothing but your eyes
Looking down on the third place
When there's nothing but determination
To come in third
You were always going to be like this
When you're somewhere that's as cold as this
It was always meant to be like this
In the cold
You've got nothing but your eyes
Looking down on the third place
You've got nothing but determination
To come in third
You know that you always meant to be like this
You know that I'm always meant to be like this
You know that you always meant to be like this
I have to stop saying to be honest, it?s not a real defeat
To have to stop saying to be honest, it?s not a great defeat
No, no, no, not such a great defeat
All these things that you don?t know
It seems so much better that way
All these things that you don?t know
It seems so much better that way
Can you tell me ten words that you?d use, to describe the world
Can you tell me ten words that you've used, to describe the world
To people, though people, never seem to know
To people, though people, never know
The more I say the more I keep confusing things, to make me feel complete
So I keep lying to be honest and it?s not a real defeat
No, no, no, not such a real defeat
All these things that you don?t know
It seems so much better that way
All these things that you don?t know
It seems so much better that way
Can you tell me ten words that you?d use, to describe the world
Can you tell me ten words that you've used, to describe the world
To people, though people, never seem to know
To people, though people, never know
It?s what you thought you are, it?s what you thought you are
It?s what you thought you are,
It?s what you thought you are, it?s what you thought you are
It?s what you thought you could be if you tried much harder
All these things that you don?t know
It seems so much better that way
All these things that you don?t know
It seems so much better that way
All these things that you don?t know
It seems so much better that way
All these things that you don?t know

I know that one day when you die
Maybe you will buy

And now I sit alone and sigh
My wintertime came fast about your drawing pad
And then you told me you didn't like looking closely
You don't like walking home, you're not sure who you are
And no one knows about your scar
But I told you to shut up once because you're never there
And you're too old to be scared
'Cause I've been in lots of these bad, bad situations
Paint nothing now, paint nothing now, paint nothing now
The summertime came fast you still had your drawing pad
But you told me you couldn't see me correctly
You don't like holding hands, you don't like playing guitar
And no one knows about your scars
But I've been in, lots of these bad, bad situations
And you'll never get out of this easily now
'Cause I've been in lots of these bad, bad situations
Paint nothing now, paint nothing now, paint nothing now
Paint nothing now, paint nothing now, paint nothing now
Send me here, send me there
Repetitions in the air
Send me here, send me there
Repetitions in the air
'Cause I've been in lots of these bad, bad situations
Paint nothing now, paint nothing now, paint nothing now
I'm calling the art school
Paint nothing now, paint nothing now, paint nothing now
I'm in the art school
Paint nothing now, paint nothing now, paint nothing now
There is a long forgotten voice
I know it's not your voice 'cause it's always strained
I wake up hearing unfamiliar voices
Convinced they're trying to explain
That if my words were clearer
Then maybe I would know what I'm trying to say
Just as those long forgotten voices
Disappear back into rain
If I was born the same day that you died
Should that make me try
I was born the same day that you died
Should that make me feel more alive
Not just sometimes but always
I know what I know
I know what I know
I know what I know
I tune the radio to drown out these voices, I don't know
But suddenly an empty house that almost fills up with home
There are days and nights, when I don't need to close my eyes
And they feel as real to me like analogy in disguise
If I was born the same day that you died
Should that make me try
I was born the same day that you died
Should that make me feel more alive
Not just sometimes but always
I know what I know
I know what I know
I know what I know
Not just sometimes but always
I know what I know
I know what I know
Cos I'm the only one who knows everyone barbecue lungs
None of you know what I'm thinking
Who on earth would believe a word that you say?
You're disturbed in a strange fascinated way
You're disturbed, I think you're disturbed
I've told you once
To switch all the lights off
You never believe that
You never believe that
And you stay near the window
Falling out through the floor
Close the door
Falling out through the floor
Falling out through the floor
It's time for the maths test
I come over to see you, at your chair you face up
I reply and politely stare back, back
I'm so backward I almost forgot
Why I'm sinking
Falling out through the floor
Close the door
Falling out through the floor
Falling out through the floor
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
Half the times I lack sound the way
I really think of you otherwise [Incomprehensible]
Falling out through the floor
Close the door
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test

Every step takes a beat of your heart
Through a city that's falling apart
On a night that rises and clears
In a sky that's clouded by years
My anger is a form of madness
And so I'd rather have hope than sadness
And you said something
You said something stupid like
"Love steals us from loneliness
Happy birthday, are you lonely yet?"
I misplaced your face in the shape of a smile
On a night that could never surprise me
Don't tell me you're afraid of the past
It's only the future that didn't last
You're kidding yourself, kidding yourself
You're going nowhere and you're going there fast
And you said something
You said something stupid like
"Love steals us from loneliness
Happy birthday, are you lonely yet?"
You said something
You said something stupid like
"Love won't shield us from loneliness
Happy birthday"
You said something
You said something stupid like
"Love steals us from loneliness
Happy birthday, are you lonely yet?"
Are you lonely yet? Are you lonely yet?
I found a mountain on my own, I?m encouraged
Trust history to say it?s unknown, it?s discouraging
There?s a seventeen contest in my own home, discourage
Sick of seventeen contests in my own home, discourage
Don?t cross the road, you?re under a spell
A broken violin, discourage
Don?t cross the road, you?re under a spell
Of broken violins
But all I need is a little discourage
All I need is a little discourage
All I need is a little discourage
All I need is a little discourage
All I need is a little discourage
I ran away from my own telephone, discourage
It rings to tell you what the future holds in store for you, so
There?s a lack of confidence at home, discourage
When a seventeen contest fills your own home, discourage
Put your trust in courage, cause no one can tell
The broken violent
Put your trust in courage, no one can tell
The broken violent
But all I need is a little discourage
All I need is a little discourage
All I need is a little discourage
All I need is a little discourage
All I need is a little discourage
All I need is a little discourage

All I need is a little discourage

Dear Hugh Miller, I've thought it through for a while but it doesn't get any easier
And three months on in this bad design won't make it feel any easier
Your grave, it's your grave
Dear Hugh Miller, it's four months now from when we started and nothing feels much easier
I sit and stare in a cork tiled room and it doesn't get much easier
Your grave, it's your grave
Pretend it works a while, it's transmitted live
Pretend it works a while (you don't try)
Pretend it works a while, it's transmitted live

I don't care if I don't have an idea track, it's an idea track, it's an idea
I don't care if I don't have an idea track, it's an idea track, it's an idea
Mountains wouldn't part for me
They have no uncertainty
I'm just a passing emotion
Just hoping they take notice
And you are an opportunity
Without an opportunity
Another passing emotion
And hope that someone will take notice
And did I hear you sing
That we exist without existing
Or did I hear you sing
That we'll land where we begin
I understand it, but I don't show it
So I won't think it
And maybe we'll be there
Maybe we will be there
I understand it, but I don't show it
So I won't think it
And maybe we'll be there
Maybe one day we will be there
I thought I heard you say
That I must be disappearing
But I'm sure I heard you sing
We won't begin
I understand it, but I don't show it
So I won't think it
And maybe we'll be there
Maybe we will be there
I understand it, but I don't show it
So I won't think it
And maybe we'll be there
Maybe one day we will be there
But you have no sense in emptiness
Will you try a little harder?
Yes, you have no sense in emptiness
When it happens you'll feel like an islander
You'll see ships and they'll be reminders
That you're on an island and I'm on an island
The chances are, there's a reason we've been left here
But I'm not disappointed
The chances are, there's a reason we've been left
The chances are, the chances are
You can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact
You can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact
As it happens, there's a city in sight
You're getting confused by local lamplight
By local lamplight, don't buy local lamplight
The chances are, there's a reason we've been left here
But I'm not disappointed
The chances are, there's a reason we've been left
The chances are, the chances are
You can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact
You can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact
But what a situation to be in
You and me are keeping in time with my ideas
You're keeping in time with my ideas
You can't stop keeping in time
You can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact
You can't contact, you can't contact
You can't cope without the contact
You can't cope without the contact
You can't cope without the contact
You can't cope without the contact
You thought shyness was to blame
And you'd get to live your life again
When you get to wish everyone goodnight
As the crowd booed out your name
At least they spelt it right, so you don't complain
Why everyone is wishing you goodnight
And maybe I'm wrong
And maybe you're right
But I thought I was the only one who can say goodnight
It's your heroes who are to blame
Constantly saying things that they don't explain
Well that's too bad, but I still can't say goodnight
And I just can't stay tonight
I woke up saying goodnight
Goodnight
All the mistakes I made
I made because
I didn't know myself very well
And by this stage I feel like
I really shouldn't know myself
I'm forced into a sponsored silence
Where I'm only paid if I don't say
What I want to say
Open up your arms and say
I can't throw it all away
Open up your arms and say
I can't give it all away
I couldn't even care what you say
Change, you changed everything
And blame it on your obvious ways
I gamble my praises
And threw the jukebox
From my favorite phrases
As we cling to the nightclub walls
We whisper the words
We whisper them wrong
So, we screamed out the wrong words
Into our own song
And with a kiss that tasted like drugs
Which taste like we'll never
Ever make it home
Open up your arms and say
I can't throw it all away
Open up your arms and say
I can't give it all away
I couldn't even care what you say
Change, you changed everything
And blame it on your obvious ways
Throw me around
First, you've got to count me down
Don't you think
You should count me down
Before you throw me around?
You throw me into
Another move I can't remake
It changes everything
Open up your arms and say
Give it all away
I couldn't even care what you say
Change, you changed everything
It's always 3 a.m. in your world
So I'm drinking this as if I hadn't slept
Telling stories which tell their stories themselves
You didn't even hear them, I thought to somewhere else
As long as I go somewhere, you'll still be trying to see
As long as I go somewhere, you'll still be trying
As long as I go somewhere, you'll still be lying to me
As long as I go somewhere
If you're so sure that you don't need love
Only this is if I hadn't slept
As laughter smiles back in your direction
But you're protected by the smoke from your cigarette
Then you tried to hold my hand under the table
But it's far too vague to be meaningful
As long as I go somewhere, you'll still be trying to see
As long as I go somewhere, every night has a hold over me
As long as I go somewhere, you'll still be lying to me
As long as I go somewhere
And you held me like I was a shadow
But completely without any mystery
And you compared me to a shadow
when your alive now
or if your alive now
you're always ignored
so you sleep on the floor
you're above me now
above me now
Annihilate now
and now you late now
When you're alive now
or if you're alive now
I'm definitely not here just to have fun
you're above me now
above me now
When you're alive now
or if you're alive now
no one is here just to have fun
you're above me now
above me now
When you're alive now
or if you're alive now
i know you're supposed to do
things you don't want to do
why?
There's only one room at the end
there's only one room at the end

I felt alone
I put on my new shoes and hit the town
I still felt alone
I'm convinced everyone's built to be put down
I had to say (I had to say)
What I wanted to say (what I wanted to say)
I had to say (what I wanted to say)
Where are you going to stay?
I felt alone
Independence day comes when you're down
Still felt alone
Ten times I thought I'd almost found you
Sometimes simple chords are the best
The simple approach is the best
If it makes more sense than any other
It makes more sense than any other
I felt alone
A failed Blake knocked me to the ground
I still felt alone
My attempts at chivalry fell without a sound
I felt alone
So put on your new shoes and leave this town
Still felt alone
I'm convinced, everyone's built to be put down
The simple chords are the best
Sometimes the simple approach is the best
If it makes more sense than any other

Send her a friend, you never stop looking after you (I don't look down now)
Send her a friend, you never stop looking after you (I don't look down now)
I don't look down now, I don't look down now, I don't look down now
I created myself to be on my own
But I didn't expect to be alone
Did you create yourself to be on your own?
These are the reasons things should be unknown
The days won't let you know
And days won't let you know
That all I never wanted was to be there with you
All I ever wanted to know anywhere with you
No one creates themselves unless they try to
Shut up the caution that made them lie to
All this talk but no one will tell me
Where and when I need to go
The days won't let you know
The says won't let you know
That all I never wanted was to be there with you
All I ever wanted to know anywhere with you
There is no reason, there is no reason
There is no reason for that now
There is no reason, there is no reason
There is no reason for that
All I never wanted was to be there with you
All I ever wanted to know anywhere with you
It's with you so
All I never wanted was to be there with you
All I ever wanted to know anywhere

It's like a storm at sea
Everything is closed
And the fretful sailors
Calling out their woes
And each one is closed
They are all gentlemen
They will hang up
If there is a reason each of them must go
To join the cruel, cruel flow
'Cos it'll take a long, long time
'Cos it'll take a long, long time
'Cos it'll take a long, long time
'Cos it'll take a long, long time
There's no need for rules
No one starts again
And there is nobody living in this town
That even knows it's strange
'Cos it'll take a long, long time
'Cos it'll take a long, long time
'Cos it'll take a long, long time
'Cos it'll take a long, long time
You and I will take a long, long time
We will take a long, long time

She's got a car crash for a soul
through restriction and repetition I'm growing old
And it doesn't feel like this
Everyone doesn't know what they really can do
No one is like you
No one is a god and nobody's like you
House alone, house alone
House alone, house alone
House alone, house alone
I'm in the house alone at night, but I don't want to go to bed now
I don't want to go to bed now, I don't want to go to bed
Don't make me go to bed now

Go to bed, go to bed
House alone, house alone
House alone, house alone hey, hey

I don't want to go to bed now I don't want to go to bed
Don't make me go to bed now

All I can hear
Is another year it passed me by
They pass me by
They pass underneath
You know there's nothing to see here
Except 10 bridges
They pass underneath
You know there's nothing to see here
Except 10 bridges
'Cos when you're winning you're charming
But it won't
You have might have noticed
That i've fallen down on the road
It could happen to anyone
I know
They pass underneath
You know there's nothing to see here

He can't take it all in, he refuses to take it all in
he has no idea where he's at or where he's been
And he asks himself
who will be the queen of the troubled teens?
Who will be the queen of the troubled teens?
Who will be the queen of the troubled teens?
Pull out his lies then apologize (x6)
A palace flophouse is the only place to be
If you ever need any help
Like if anyone's ever dead
Like if anyone's ever dead
She looked up to my face then I walked right by you
She looked up to my face
I'll never see you again

I'm back in the hotel
The worst time of my life
Do you ever get the notion
That you're not born sometimes
It's bad dreams for you every night
Until the end (ten years later, I still miss you)
I see no end in sight (ten years later, I still miss you)
no end in sight (ten years later, I still miss you)
I'm back in the hotel
I know you had the worst time of your life
But I've never had the notion
That I have not been born sometimes
Never
It's bad dreams for you every night
Until the end (ten years later, I still miss you)
I see no end in sight (ten years later, I still miss you)
There's no end in sight (ten years later, I still miss you)
In 1903 through 70
He came from nowhere, I fell from nowhere
All he had were his good looks
1903 through 70
He came from nowhere, I fell from nowhere
All he had were his good looks
On real ground
Float float float away
I'm on real ground
I forget to walk away
In 1903 to 70
He came from nowhere, we all fell from nowhere
But all he had was his good looks
In 1903 through 70
He came from nowhere, we all came from nowhere
All he had were his school books
On real ground
Float float float away
I'm on real ground
I prefer to walk away
I'm on real ground
I float, I float away
I'm on real ground
Out of routine and the explanations you have
You're still loath to give them
All because you phrased them in a way
So the explanations you have, the words don't go away
If your heart gets in the way of what you wanted
To deny everything I say is not uncommon
The only thing that's definitely forgotten is what you wanted
And what you really needed
But I can only try to know what I wanted
I will only try to know what I want
If I can only try to know what I wanted
How can it be gone?
Out of routine but it's not as bad as you think
It's only chance you're looking for
Still in routine and the explanations you have
The ideas go between
If your heart gets in the way of what you wanted
To deny everything I say is not uncommon
The only thing that's definitely forgotten is what you wanted
And what you really needed
But I can only try to know what I wanted
I will only try to know what I want
If I can only try to know what I wanted
How can it be gone?
And it's already gone and nothing can take it back
I have to stop saying “to be honest”, it's not a real defeat
To have to stop saying "to be honest", it's not a great defeat
(No, no, no, not such a great defeat)
All these things that you don't know, it seems so much better that way
All these things that you don't know, it seems so much better that way
Can you tell me 10 words that you'd use, to describe the world
Can you tell me 10 words that you've used, to describe the world
To people, through people, never seem to know
To people, through people, never know
The more I say the more I keep confusing things, to make me feel complete
So I keep lying to be honest, it's not a real defeat
No, no, no, not such a real defeat
All these things that you don't know, it seems so much better that way
All these things that you don't know, it seems so much better that way
Can you tell me 10 words that you'd use, to describe the world
Can you tell me 10 words that you've used, to describe the world
To people, through people, never seem to know
To people, through people, never know
It's what you thought you are, it's what you thought you are
It's what you thought you are,
It's what you never thought you are, it's what you never thought you are
It's what you thought you could be if you tried much harder
All these things that you don't know, it seems so much better that way
All these things that you don't know, it seems so much better that way
All these things that you don't know, it seems so much better that way
All these things that you don't know, it seems so much better that way
Purple Sky, sky, sky
I am the night and this is your soul and
Purple in the sky, in the sky, in the sky
I am the night and this is your soul and
Purple lover, the lovers go out
Tonight in the night and this is your soul and
In the night I smack my smack my
I am the night and this is your soul and
I want you faster
I want you everyday
I want you faster
I want you faster and I'm going faster
There is a light, there is a light, and I approach the light
Cos I see the light and I know one day when the light comes I will
Purple in the sky in the sky

You've gotta put on a punk overcoat if you want to wear that overcoat
You've gotta put on a punk overcoat if you want to
You've gotta put on a punk overcoat if you want to
I'm sitting on a chandelier, you're falling down on
I'm sitting on a chandelier, you're falling down on
I'm sitting on a chandelier, you're falling down on
In the beginning, there were answers
Then they came along and changed
All these questions and their answers seem to change
So I'll wait 'til I find the remote part of your heart
Nowhere else will let us choose a comfortable start
We stop in every passing place
To watch the world move faster than we do
Watch it pass with our eyes closed the way we usually choose to
So I'll wait 'til I find the remote part of your heart
When no where else will let us choose a comfortable start
And even if the breath between us smells of alcohol
Call it confusion in the best way possible
Scottish Fiction
(featuring poet Edwin Morgan)
It isn't in the mirror, it isn't on the page
It's a red hearted vibration
Pushing through the walls of dark imagination
Finding no equation
There's a red road rage, but it's not road rage
It's asylum seekers engulfed by a grudge
Scottish friction, Scottish fiction
It isn't in the castle, it isn't in the mist
It's a calling of the waters as they break to show
The new black death with reactors aglow
Do you think your security will keep you in purity
You will not shake us off
Above or below
Scottish friction, Scottish fiction
You can't always be the strange one
I'm spending you without a hope
For one
Pride in yourself into it
If you don't wanna stay
Go out into the light
You'll be better off that way
I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)
I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know
Send me downstairs
You stand there, you stand there
Watch him wonder
If he's wondering about the star
If he's wondering where they'll make him stay
If he doesn't want to stay
So you'll never be alone
I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
(When I see you right there)
I've got no motive
4 people do good
4 people do good
There are times that I should try
To be so much more alive
But if time was right then I would be with you again
Or do you worry that I try
To avoid the point and then deny
The time I spent deciding it was you again
It's when I live in a hiding place
It's the only way I feel safe
When I'm safe in a hiding place
(That's not hidden now)
I'm safe in a hiding place
It's the only way I feel safe
When I'm safe in a hiding place
And you're full of facts
But not things that could add up to words
Think about meaning more as an after word as in afterward
I return but don't remain
I'm impatient for a reason to complain about winter
Making me see through again
Or is it your damaged reply
That makes me realize that the more I try
The less that plans will help me comprehend again
So I live in a hiding place
It's the only way I feel safe
When I'm safe in a hiding place
(That's not hidden now)
I'm safe in a hiding place
It's the only way I feel safe
When I live in a hiding place
And you're full of facts
But not things that could add up to words
You think about meaning more as an after word
And you're full of facts
But not things that could add up to words
(In Remote Part)
In the beginning, there were answers
Then they came along and changed
All these questions and their answers seem to change
So I`ll wait `til I find the remote part of your heart
Nowhere else will let us choose a comfortable start
We stop in every passing place
To watch the world move faster than we do
Watch it pass with our eyes closed the way we usually
choose to
So I`ll wait `till I find the remote part of your heart
When no where else will let us choose a comfortable
start
And even if the breath between us smells of alcohol

It isn`t in the mirror, it isn`t on the page

Since you're breathing, is it all that a space can fill?
So just by looking in, I'll be looking still
You find and follow stories well
You're naked except for a newspaper
The headline telling me that fortune favors the brave
I've never been known to be that brave
What I want is on it's way out
All I needed was an easier way to stay
Walking around the city as the light fades
Is it all that you remain?
I'm thinking about each promise that I have ever made
I know what they will never say, I know what they will never say
Century after century they remain
And if I need to remember that the entire earth is outside this room
So close the windows and keep the curtains shut forever
And if I need to remember that the entire earth is outside this room
So close the windows, close the windows
Isn't it romantic to be romantic when you don't understand what you love?
Or if a word like that could ever mean anything
When what you want is on it's way out
I didn't hear cheer leading for creative writers
And your cheekbones don't taste of anything at all
It's on it's way out, it's just an easier way to stay
Talking about a city that the light made
Is it all that you remain?
It's the same stories told but it's the stories that don't fade
I know what they will never say, I know what they will never say
Century after century they remain
Is it all that you remain?
Is it all that you remain?
Is it all that you remain?
Songs when the truth are all dedicated to you
In this invisible world I choose to live in
And if you believe that now I understand
Why words mean so much to you, they'll never be about you
You maybe you're young without youth
Or maybe you're old without knowing anything's true
I think you're young without youth
Then you contract the American dream
You never look up once
You've contracted American dreams
I require you to stop and look up
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing the song about myself
Not some invisible world
Constantly searching to find something new
But what will you find when you think that nothing's true?
Maybe it's that nothing is new
So you let me hear songs that were written all about you
The good songs weren't written for you
They'll never be about you
Then you contract the American dream
You never look up once
You've contracted American dreams
You never look up once, so don't look up
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing the song about myself
Not some invisible world
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
And I won't tell you what this means
'Cause you'll already know
And I won't tell you what this means
'Cause you'll already know
So sing a song about myself
Keep singing the song about myself
Not some invisible world
And you came along and found the weak spot but you've always wanted
Let yourself be everything, that you've always wanted
It doesn't have to be so decided, as you've always wanted
And no need for explanations, you've always wanted
You'll find what you find when you find there's nothing
If I know, what I know, then no one will watch over you
So someone shouldn't really tell me what I want to know
I know, I owe, and I know that matters don't matter as much
As you think they do
'Cause you will only be yourself, you can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself when you understand what you know, oh
How long will we go on with a modern way of letting go?
Tell me how long will we go on with the modern way of letting you go?
If I know, what I know, losing isn't learning to be lost
It's learning to know when you're lost
If I know, what I know
I'll want to make the most of what it seems like
You will only be yourself, you can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself when you understand what you know, oh
How long will we go on with a modern way of letting go?
