I Have Slept... (Intro)
01:40
|
|||
|
I have slept
and now I see
They really aren’t lying when they say
No one ever has to leave
No more wandering
There is no need
The night was a shroud;
It was a cosmic
Generosity
There is no need
I have slept
And now I see
It all
It all
It all

Nothing Happens
03:09

I’m everybody’s fool
Can’t nobody play the role like this
It’s
Kind of sad that I know when I’m losing but I just won’t quit
Nix
The thought that I am stuck in
A place where nothing happens
And I won’t listen to anyone
When I go back to where I came from
I hope I find that we were all wrong
But I won’t stress about it
Won’t jump a gun a that’s loaded
Won’t need to be there with someone
Is there some mercy for some wisdom?
I think I’d rather barely have some
What do I know about it?
Get off my high horse now and
Think of it like I’m the dumb one
Do you feel
Dead and rushed and
Do you feel
Out of time?
Do you feel dead and rushed and
Do you kneel for a dime?
Do you feel
Dead and rushed and
Do you feel
Out of time?
Do you feel dead and rushed and
Do you kneel for a dime?

Hey Hey Hey

Hey hey hey
Oh oh oh
Trade in the bad thoughts
Come stand in the sun
Sneak in a closed pool
Jump in with your clothes on
Guess I never really thought about it
I have more for me here than I thought
I thought
and I just don’t have to justify it
I can be here without having a reason
Take my hand, don’t let go
Pour yourself lemonade
Jump around in your room
Dance to your favorite song
Hey hey hey
Oh oh oh
Guess I never really...
Guess I never really...
Guess I never really...
I can be here without having a reason

Peacetime
02:43
|
|||
|
I’ve been present for the least time
In only moments we have all lost a reason to say
“Everything you do is just fine”
If you can’t shut me up, my thoughts will do it for you the same
and I ain’t really wanting peacetime
The wounds I’m feeling now have all come from knives I can name
and I’ve been present for the least time
But please get me out
Please get me out
Please get me out
Please get me out
Dogs are running from police, nine
Thousand voices come from all better places to stay
When I was younger all the walls I
Saw around me made me feel so protected and safe
But I ain’t really wanting peacetime
The violence hurdles in from all places under His name
Irreverence don’t cause the stops to come out of us
We don’t need balances, we need a lot of us
There is a rift that is our job to fix
We need lights and our cameras
We need a lot of us
After the dust has settled, we must not be together
Split up, split up or they’ll find us
People will lie because we have a lot of us
Speakers and lights, we need lights and our cameras
You are okay ‘til the wool is pulled over your eyes
The cops will be raining from all of the skies
We don’t need balances; we need a lot of us
We need a cause that brings light to the bottomless
There is a lot in us
Speakers and cameras, forget the cameras
Think of the outcomes
What do we fight to get out from?
We don’t need balances,
We need a lot of us
Step from the light so that they will assign you to a lesson
Avert your eyes or make a scene and face the consequences
Step from the light so that they will assign you to a lesson
Avert your eyes or make a scene

Something
03:36
|
|||
|
I’m looking for an easier way out
Nobody’s gonna stick around for me to sound
Like I know what I’m talking about
and I just don’t feel it yet (I’m just a found toy, never been around boy, I don’t really mean much now)
I can’t see how bad it gets (I need all the support that I can get, but)
‘Cause that would require, and I’m so tired,
Admitting it
Admitting that I need help
Okay, I changed my mind, I feel better now
Dear Reader, maybe just ignore this bit
Where I’m a cynic, I can’t make sense of it
Every time it’s getting better it gets ten times worse
and I’m feeling oh so down
But I know, it could always be worse
I’m just blowing off steam
I was looking for something to cool this fire in me
But now I just have to accept the fact that it will never leave
I’m sorry, I can’t talk now
I’ve woken up feeling sad for three days now
There’s no reason to go on besides hoping tomorrow is better
The scorching blaze is roaring, choking, holding my breath for me
But I like the ashes, scattered
It reminds me of the leaves

See?
05:24
|
|||
|
Don’t pretend to sleep, and
Don’t know if you see me look at our hands
Intertwined
Hold me if you plan not to
Let go, but I don’t have to ask
I don’t have to ask
Can you see light?
See?
Catch me tonight
Open your eyes
Dreams are all useless
Now it’s time to look
At us now
What if you stole warmth
I cannot get back?
Let me breathe
Please, just let me breathe
Can you see light?
See?
Catch me tonight
Open your eyes
Thank God I don’t get what I want
I’m not low enough to haunt
I leave doors open for too long
It’s a heart-wrenching kind of calm

Feeling Lonely
03:56
|
|||
|
I am tired of having to talk, I
Let it get worse than I thought, I
Need someone to take my spot, I
Can’t stand my stomach tied in knots, I
Hate being sick but I can’t stop, I
Self-sabotage until I drop, I
If I’m still here
and there’s nothing to keep me near (I see so clearly now)
I won’t stay around for (I see so clearly)
Much longer
Time leads me around like a dog
I’m feeling lonely, could you hold my hand?
I’m feeling lonely, could you hold my hand?
Talk to you ‘cause I think that you might understand
I think
I’m feeling lonely, can you hold my hand?
I
Forgot about me on my birthday, I
Need more time to get my shit straight, I
Think it says “loser” on my nameplate, I
Can’t live no more with this headache, I
Hate being sick but I can’t stop, I
Self-sabotage until I drop, I
I’m feeling
There was this dream
When I laughed, the room was empty
and
That’s just the thing
We’re all better off when we’re all alone
There was this dream
They all felt the difference when we were gone
and that’s just the thing
We’re better off when we’re alone
There was this dream
Someone looked to us for direction
But
That’s just the thing
We’re better off figuring it out...
I’m feeling lonely, could you hold my hand?
I’m feeling lonely, could you hold my hand?
Talk to you ‘cause I think that you might understand
I think
I’m feeling lonely, can you hold my hand?

I have slept
Now I see
I have slept
Now I see
I have slept
Now I see
I have slept
Now I see
I have slept
Now I see
