Shackles

When the chance of feeling good,

Outweighs the scared of feeling bad

You know you’re in a dark place

Don’t let the water reach your head

 

And it’s only a matter of time

Oh, it’s only a matter of time

 

And that hanging man,

He’s got his shackles on ya,

And you know he’s the counting the days

You’re just counting the ways you could escape

But you’re just too tired to run

Oh you’re just too tired to run,

So lay and rot,

I hope you’ve picked your plot

Cause your time is coming, son

Flight

My hands in knots when you look at me

Cause I wanna touch what I only see

And you keep staring right through

These walls that my mind, put up to save your time

 

And I’m falling, but it feels more like flight

I go towards the light, cause I don’t even feel like I’m losing

I don’t even feel like I’m losing myself with you

And I’m falling, but it feels more like flight

 

My heart’s getting heavy when you hold it for me

Cause I’m still a little scared to give it up easily

And you don’t even coax me

 

And I’m falling, but it feels more like flight

I go towards the light, cause I don’t even feel like I’m losing

I don’t even feel like I’m losing myself with you

And I’m falling, but it feels more like flight

 

In the limbo of your arms,

The fragile of silence

A tiny wind blowing me closer to you

 

And I’m falling, but it feels more like flight

I go towards the light, cause I don’t even feel like I’m losing

I don’t even feel like I’m losing myself with you

And I’m falling, but it feels more like flight

 

My hands in knots when you look at me

Cause I wanna touch what I only see

In the limbo of your arms

A tiny wind blowing me closer to you

 

And I’m falling, but it feels more like flight

I go towards the light, cause I don’t even feel like I’m losing

I don’t even feel like I’m losing myself with you

And I’m falling, but it feels more like flight

My Sunglasses On In Bed

When I wear my sunglasses in bed,

Will you tell me what all your stupid friends said

And how if I changed just this one last thing,

Then I’d be perfect,

If you said that,

I’m sorry, can’t hear you,

With my sunglasses on, in bed.

Scare the Vultures

I never gave up on

Trying to be somebody else

I never gave up on

Feeling the way that I felt, with someone who’s not like you

 

I’ll remember that night

For the rest of my life

You told me to, cut the crap

Did I think you were blind

I was falling away and

You were willing to catch me

But how can I put

Myself in your hands

 

I’m sorry

For being so slow with these things

I need you

Much more than I would ever admit

I’m sorry

For being slow with these things

I needed you, I need you

 

I’ll never give up on

Trying to fix myself

I’ll never give up on

Finding someone who kisses my scars like you did

 

I’ll remember that night

For the rest of my life

You told me to, cut the crap

Did I think you were blind

I was falling away and

You were willing to catch me

But how can I put

Myself in your hands

 

I’m sorry

For being so slow with these things

I need you

Much more than I would ever admit

I’m sorry

For being slow with these things

I needed you, I need you

 

You could always see

What they were doing to me

You could always scare the vultures,

You could always scare the vultures,

You could always stop the rain

 

I’ll remember that night

For the rest of my life

You told me to, cut the crap

Did I think you were blind

I was falling away and

You were willing to catch me

But how can I put

Myself in your hands

 

I’m sorry

For being so slow with these things

I need you

Much more than I would ever admit

I’m sorry

For being slow with these things

I needed you, I need you

Don’t Look Away, Now

If I swear you’re exactly what I need

Would you stay, sleep a while with me

The fire’s burning slowly

But you know we could take the town, tonight

 

Don’t look away now

There’s nothing for you out there

This is what you’ve got now

Make it real before it fades away

You know how love can be, oh, oh, oh

 

If I run, it was never your fault

You don’t scare me but you do what you can

I want this and I want you

But you see, I keep wanting what’s bad for me

 

Don’t look away now

There’s nothing for you out there

This is what you’ve got now

Make it real before it fades away

You know how love can be, oh, oh, oh

 

Oh oh, oh

Oh oh, oh

 

Don’t look away now

There’s nothing for you out there

This is what you’ve got now

Make it real before it fades away

You know how love can be, oh, oh, oh

Don’t look away now

Don’t look away now

There’s nothing for you

Nothing for you,

Nothing for you out there,

My dear, there’s nothing for you out there

Don’t look away now

Smaller

Planet Earth, my lonely queen,

Everyone thinks you’re the whole world

As they’re falling off the edge,

As they’re falling off the edge

 

Sacred Sun, the only one

Your loneliness has just begun,

Say your prayers when you go to sleep,

Say your prayers when you go to sleep

 

I’m so much smaller than the sky

And even it won’t answer why

All my problems seem so big

Caught inside nets in my head

I’m so much smaller, I’m so much smaller than the sky

 

Jaws of life, how taste’s my blood?

Your one device of life and death

I run but I can’t escape the stars

I run but I can’t escape the stars

 

I’m so much smaller than the sky

And even it won’t answer why

All my problems seem so big

Caught inside nets in my head

I’m so much smaller, I’m so much smaller than the sky

 

I look up when I’m lost

I look up when I’m found

Planet Earth, my lonely queen,

Sacred Sun, the only one

Jaws of life, don’t let me bleed

My abstract eyes still haven’t seen

 

I’m so much smaller than the sky

And even it won’t answer why

All my problems seem so big

Caught inside nets in my head

I’m so much smaller, I’m so much smaller than the sky

Lose My Way

Greetings from another world,

You see I’ve been kissing stars.

Just big spaces of lit up hot air,

You see I’ve been kissing stars.

 

Got my head up in space

And I’m losing all my grace

And in the face of something great

I lose my way, I lose my way

 

Greetings from another girl,

You see I’ve been playing parts.

Just tiny bits of scripted life,

You see I’ve been playing parts.

 

Got my head filled up with ink

And I’m lost my will to think

And in the face of something great

I lose my way, I lose my way

 

And your Hollywood sign, finally in my sights

I heard you sing all day, about the way it shined

 

Got my head up in space

And I’m losing all my grace

And in the face of something great

I lose my way, I lose my way

Got my head filled up with ink

And I’m lost my will to think

And in the face of something great

I lose my way, I lose my way
