Somewhere
03:27
|
|||
Somewhere near the ending I heard your voice beginning
To say something familiar, but I cannot remember you
I want to be in love with someone new
Or maybe fall in love again with you
It might take forever but i can wait for longer
Never waste a chance to say goodbye
Open door, waving back at me
I saw everyone, and then I saw everything
We're not careful with our alters
We give our offering to others
Broken light on broken bodies
We all repeat our stories
I want to be in love with someone new
Or maybe fall in love again with you
It might take forever but i can wait for longer
Never waste a chance to say goodbye
Open door, waving back at me
I saw everyone, and then I saw everything
We fire at 50 paces
At figures in the darkness
Never waste a chance to say goodbye

1983
03:16

I found a picture on the back it reads
Happy birthday from the 70s
I remember you with bloody knees
Riding bikes in 1983
We're closer to the end of this parade and then we'll start again
Little brother wears his broken wings
Young lovers with suburban dreams
Your best friend smiles through his broken teeth
These neighborhoods are never what they seem
You're closer to the end of this parade then you'll start again
Reflected light, reflected rays
Colors bloom and colors fade
Every love inside a frame
Repeated infinite and great
Another take and take and take replayed
You'll fall in love when you are 17
You'll fall in love with everyone you see
A face that's ageless in a memory
Your body frozen in a fantasy
We're closer to the end of this parade and then we'll start again

Quiet (again)
05:28
|

What's left of us
When you take
All of the pieces
That once fit in places
Rearrange them
Leaving spaces now vacant, again
Cracks in the ceiling
Let the light in again
Shining brightly on my skin
Hands are freezing
feeling nothing
but they're bleeding for believing
It's quiet again
The feeling
Of falling without end
Saying all your goodbyes
Call up all your friends
Voices over speakers
Everything's in order
Everything is right on
Time to get this going
Nothing lasts forever
In the end
What will come next
After the coldest winter yet
Swimming in air
You're falling forever
Tumbling down
Scream at the bottom
Can someone hear me now
It's quiet again

Are you looking for this
Or maybe looking for someone that you’re going to miss
Late at night in the summer
Cross eyed kids caught in the lens of someone’s camera
How many times have we met
How many lines are running parallel and never connect
You spend your life with a stranger
In another they’ve driven their car into the water
Believe me, believe in something better than this
Or should we try to put it all back together again
You’re leaving
What’s leaving but another way to be missed
Or should we try to put the pieces back together again
Someone give me a hit
I need something that will get me out of this quick
Turned my head just to see you
A Quick kiss in the hallway by the bedroom
Everything that we lost
The clothes we keep out of the suitcase we pack in the dark
I cannot get rid of feeling
That the beginning will one day meet up with the ending
Believe me, believe in something better than this
Or should we try to put it all back together again
You’re leaving
What’s leaving but another way to forget
Or should we try to put the pieces back together again
And the cities we lived in
may turn out just to be places that used to exist
Before any of this
Before your idiot kiss
Your future past and present tense
Believe me, Believe in something better than this
Or should we try to put it all back together again
You’re leaving
What’s leaving but another way to forgive
Or should we try to put the pieces back together again

Satellite
03:33
|

I want to be a satellite
I want to be a stone
thats falling through your ceiling
Or breaking through your window
Spinning in the darkness
The quiet and the cold
Everything you lost is
With every love that you have known
Maybe somewhere
Near the end
When you hear me
I'll be calling
Can you see me now
It goes on and on
If everything's a figment
Eternity a moment
Played inside the fevered
frames of some great picture
Then the operators
That keep the scenes in order
Shine their light upon us
To brighten up the darkest corners
Maybe somewhere
Near the end
When you hear me
I'll be calling
Can you see me now
It goes on and on
In some future morning
When everything has ended
The stars turn off their porch lights
And everything is sleeping
I’ll find you in the quiet
We’ll wait for the beginning
Forever keeps repeating
I’ll be with you singing
I can see you now
I can see you now
It goes on and on

I Wanted Light / Between
05:02
|
|||
Everybody’s gotta wait and see
What gets cut out and then what will make the movie
The happy ending’s always bringing out the critic in me
I wanted light, it’s out
I wanted comfort but it’s quiet company now
Don’t forget that it was given by your lovers in the south
Your diet coke and your cigarette
Your first kiss in that college apartment
Living lives, your parents never knew about
Why can’t you say you’re sorry
Why can’t you just listen
Are you the sum of every
Mistake you’ve made since then
Can I believe in something
Or maybe just pretend
There’s something waiting in the end
The worlds still on fire
Maybe it will always be
So strange, how our lives so suddenly will weave
Inside, and out
Of lines like drivers after going out
The strangers we all become eventually will meet
I want to know what's left
I want to know where they have hidden it
The darkest, places you were warned about
Why can’t you say you’re sorry
Why can’t you just listen
Are you the sum of every
Mistake you’ve made since then
Can I believe in something
Or maybe just pretend
There’s something waiting in the end
There is no evil that awaits
No angry god that’s giving grace
maybe no secret hid
No one enlightened
I guess we will have to wait and see, what comes, after the end of everything
I wanted light but i think it’s gone out / i wanted light but now I think it’s gone out

Sidewalk
04:27
|
|||
I can see you on the sunny side of the sidewalk
I wear a raincoat, to make it rain
So I can sleep in wet clothes
It’s the thing i deserve most
Underneath these volcanoes
Buried deep in the fallen snow
Every beginning a broken hearted ending
Somebody’s crying, with every word that you’re reading
But you can go to sleep when
You’re still looking for reasons
That keep getting lost when
You try to believe them
Is this the end or the beginning?
I can hear your voice every night when you’re sleeping
You tell me that you miss someone
maybe we all miss someone
The hidden sound of
sorrow that follows us around
It keeps us screaming
Every night until we drown it all out
If every love is an angry god
Please make an offering out on the lawn
No salvation, I won’t go down to the water
So when it takes me, I’ll go on fire
Is this the end or the beginning of the ending
Tie off the ends of me
I've come undone
We’re torn to pieces and split our seams
Try to do your best on me
We always do our best

Echos (in echos)
05:30
|
|||
I think I can see you from my window
Whisper through the screen door
“Everything repeats, were coming to the end now”
Maybe you'll be walking somewhere and hear
Someone losing it and you’ll turn to see
Me screaming at the pigeons again
Echo in echos within echos
Echo in echos within echos
Circles in circles within circles
I think I read about you in the paper again
You’re living in a city I’ll never see
married to someone that i’ll never meet
You speak from a sidewalk tv screen
In some foreign language you say to me
“Je te verrai bientôt”
my love? My love
Echo in echos within echos
Echo in echos within echos
Circles in circles within circles
I will see you soon
What is the sum, of everything multiplied by everyone , carried remainders of love that you won, the hurt that you’ve given and that you’ve grown from. If you could see every beautiful temporary memory made every time that we meet, you’d forget everything. Lost and then found over and over and over the sound foreign familiar the echos surround me, but I'll know your voice

Savior || Death
03:28
|
|||
You took me down to the river
And held my head under water
“I might be your Savior or your death”
Or something else instead
You remind me of someone that I might soon forget
Borrowed your ghost skin
And pretend that we’re not living
But I am not hidden, I’m out in the open
Dance with me in daylight
While darkness closes in
One day always ends for another to begin
If we fall apart by winter
What's left for the rain and wind
I have been trying to tell you a secret
There’s nobody looking and nobody listening
try building a ladder, but you’ll never reach it
You’re laughing and crying, please stop your crying
Now do you remember
What comes after waiting
Forever, be patient
Your memory is fading
It's cold and alone
Cold and alone
Then I heard your voice, I heard your voice

Find Me (any other way)
05:45
|
|||
Letters we write but will never send
There’s no way to read them in the end
Written with words we’ll forget
You can find me any other way
Call on me by someones else's name
I'll know your voice all the same
Somewhere near the beginning of the end
I’ll wait for you again, i’ll wait, always
Forever without, light or sound
I'm calling out
And when, the final light goes dark
We will watch it all restart
Maybe there's a secret hidden place
That we will go and wait
I’ll wait, always
Forever without, light or sound
I'm calling out
And when, the final light goes dark
We will wait for the first spark
