Hello
03:26

|

I need you to read
What you say to me
Let's watch some TV
Have something to see
Don't forget your coat
It's summer I know
Chills come from below
Pain creating snow
I'm not tired, I won't let go
Every time I see you, I say hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, oh
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, oh
I'm caught in your stare
It doesn't seem fair
That you even care
I love you, I swear
We'll go off the feel
That feeling is real
Hues shifting to teal
Colorblind and surreal
I'm not tired, I won't let go
Every time I see you, I say hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, oh

Foolish stormy ways
On that bloodied, bastard day
It's a pity it's just a lie
Oh, white as the skies
And the snow that fills my eyes
The angel dust of stars on my lap
I live in a rerun
Over and over again
I live in a rerun
Over until it ends
Time after time
It's a spectrum of a cry
Until the fat remains with the lord
Oh, white as the skies
From the start I said I'd rise
And villains out of heroes is scorned
I live in a rerun
Over and over again
I live in a rerun
Life just never ends, oh no
I've seen through these shadows
These ashes
These leaves
I've seen through these shadows
These ashes
These leaves
I've seen through your shadows
Your ashes
Your leaves
I've seen through your shadows
Your ashes
Your leaves
I live in a rerun
Over and over again
I live in a rerun
Life just never ends

Dividends
02:46
|
|

You make the payments
I'll sit and stare
We write the answers
On a questionaire
(Question, Answer, Question)
You owe the money
I'll pay the bills
We'll sit and worry
You know the drill
(Money, Worry, Money)
The dollar is a sin
A sunken cost
We'll get our dividends
Once we have lost
You clean the ashtray
I'll mop the floor
No-one has been here
Let's give a tour
(Ashtray, Been Here, Ashtray)
The boss is upstairs
So keep it down
We'll be the heroes
He'll be a clown
(Upstairs, Heroes, Upstairs)
The dollar is a sin
A sunken cost
We'll get our dividends
Once we have lost
We'll get our dividends
Once we have lost

Shy Girl Beaming
04:03

I saw you when
You were so close to me
Under the light I feel
Found, in your warm arms
You came with me
After the tension and
Failed intervention
The trust to choose, your endless charms
I had to resign and see you for
What you really were
A diamond left with those scars
Because of the things she always heard
I wondered if
Any one else would have
Seen the person I was
Would they even stay?
I had to
Remember the things that I
Told you when we were alone
What did I say?
I had to resign and see you for
What you really were
A diamond left with those scars
Because of the things she always heard
I noticed that I'm so close to
Someone, it feels like I'm dreaming
I love my shy girl beaming
It's just my shy girl beaming
Your beauty goes
Beyond the Plains or our
Garlanding days but I still
Can't resist you
If something could
Get in the way of our
Life and our hopes you would
Make sure it was through
I had to resign and see you for
What you really were
A diamond left with those scars
Because of the things she always heard
When troubles got
In to the thick of it
Everyone's sick of it
I turned to your face
When lovers had
Nothing that's left but the
Seas that they manifest
I fell in your grace
I had to resign and see you for
What you really were
A diamond left with those scars
Because of the things she always heard
I love my shy girl beaming
It's just my shy girl beaming

Always standing apart
Breaking bonds, breaking my heart
When will you stand always near, my love?
Always stand near my love
When will you hold
me to a higher standard?
I've seen your works of art
It's hard to finish what I start
When will you hold me
up in the air while I breathe?
Up in the air like a trophy?
When will you hold
me to a higher standard?
I miss when we would laugh
I want to always try to crash
When will you hold
me to a higher standard?

Marathon
04:26
|
|

You'd like to see me fall down
I know because I had to turn around
You don't believe in me
Well that's just fine
You don't believe in yourself
Well that's a lie
I'm tired of this pity
and all this fun
I'm running over and over
Like a marathon
You don't have all this substance down
You don't have to put on a frown
You don't need to look at me with those eyes
I need an answer, just tell me why you cried
It's not a pleasure to have to hear complaints
But it would help if you told me anything
You don't believe in me
Well that's just fine
You don't believe in yourself
Well that's a lie
I'm tired of this pity
and all this fun
I'm running over and over
Like a marathon
If this feeling this mutual
You know what that means
We got to split our ways
Cut our losses, see?
I don't believe in wasting time with you
It's not worth anything to see what you do
So spare me your false smiles and your nods
It might not bug you deep down
But it fucks with me a lot
You don't believe in me
Well that's just fine
You don't believe in yourself
Well that's a lie
I'm tired of this pity
and all this fun
I'm running over and over
Like a marathon
You don't believe in me
Well that's just fine
You don't believe in yourself
Well that's a lie
I'm tired of this pity
and all this fun
I'm running over and over
Like a marathon

I've been praying
I've been waiting
I've been hoping one day I'll give in
I've been wishing
I've been missing
I've been trying to some day afford peace
Just surrender your bigoted thoughts of the world
At the door
You were meant to
We were meant to
We were meant to (always) fall in love
I was singing
and I was thinking
That your memories have brunette eyes
Just surrender your bigoted thoughts of the world
At the door
You were meant to
We were meant to
We were meant to (always) fall in love
After darkness
After sorrow
After everything we were still together
Just surrender your bigoted thoughts of the world
At the door
You were meant to
We were meant to
We were meant to (always) fall in love
With the seasons
As it freezes
Feeling breezes slowly accumulate
No more moments
No more seconds
Just a monolithic love that I have felt
Just surrender your bigoted thoughts of the world
At the door
You were meant to
We were meant to
We were meant to (always) fall in love
After passions
After tensions
After everything we were still together
Just surrender your bigoted thoughts of the world
At the door
You were meant to
We were meant to
We were meant to (always) fall in love
Fall in love
Fall in love

That Forever Glow
03:28

I don't remember
I'm just confused
I need an answer
Before I choose
Sing a song
All I know
Sing along
To that forever glow
I want to hurry
I don't know why
I just need someone
To let me cry
Sing a song
All I know
Sing along
To that forever glow
As seasons dim
As leaves will fall
So too will brothers
As do they all
Sing a song
All I know
Sing along
To that forever glow
A devil's idol
All in my face
A nest for lovers
Who were disgraced
Sing a song
All I know
Sing along
To that forever glow
An art form severed
Burned into the ground
I can't believe it
As we go back around
Sing a song
All I know
Sing along
To that forever glow
Half-afternoons
and full weeks
There is no time
For us to sleep
Sing a song
All I know
Sing along
To that forever glow
Sing a song
All I know
Sing along
To that forever glow
To that forever glow
To that forever glow
To that forever ...

Feels like a lifetime
But I turned away for a moment
Oceans of your passion
As waves turn into your emotions
Tell you everything will be all right
Tell me everything will be just fine
Don't reserve your patience for those who tried to lie
Sinners who are broken heartened cry
and angels who remember past lives die
Your inner-demons want you to realize
this sea of hues yet I am colorblind
Star-gazing icons
'til the flowers that we grew fall apart
Nightmares continue
But so too as Saturn eclipses Mars
Tell you everything will be all right
Tell me everything will be just fine
Don't reserve your patience for those who tried to lie
Sinners who are broken heartened cry
and angels who remember past lives die
Your inner-demons want you to realize
this sea of hues yet I am colorblind
Waiting for my father
To let me hold his hand so I'm not alone
Twenty years have intervened
and I look back with a smile as I've grown
He'd tell me everything will be all right
He'd tell me everything will be just fine
Don't reserve your judgment for those who had to lie
Sinners who are broken heartened cry
and angels who remember past lives die
Your inner-demons want you to realize
this sea of hues yet I am colorblind
