She turns like the ocean
She tells no emotion
She's been gunning down the fight
She's just reminiscing
Blood, sweat, and one thing's missing
She's been breaking up inside, inside
- Chorus -
Singing without tongues
Screaming without lungs
I want more than my lonely nation
I want more than my lonely nation
Desperate we are young
Separate we are one
I want more than my desperation
I want more than my lonely nation
We are the target market
We set the corporate target
We are slaves of what we want
We're just numb and amused
And we're just used to bad news
And we are slaves of what we want
Lonely, lonely
Don't leave me hollow
I'm tired
Don't leave me hollow
I'm tired of feeling low
Of feeling hollow
Maybe I've been the problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain
I've been thinking about everyone
Everyone, you look so lonely
- Chorus -
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself
Stars looking at a planet watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder how
The chaos in our lives could pass as sane
I've been thinking about the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Began to look like home
I've been thinking about everyone
everyone, you look so empty
Everyone everyone we feel so lonely
Everyone, everyone we feel so empty
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars I feel like myself
When I look at the stars
The stars
I see someone
Everyone dies
Everyone loves a fight
Nothing is sound
Nothing is right side right
Evening comes, when the sun goes down in red
Nothing is cool
When will all the fighting end?
When will all the fighting end?
- Chorus -
Happy is a yuppie word
Nothing in the world could fail me now
It's empty as an argument
I'm running down a life that won't cash out
Everything fails
Everything runs it's course
A time and a place, for all of this love and war
Everyone buys, everyone's got a price,
And nothing is new
When will all the failures rise?
When will al the failures rise, rise?
- Chorus -
Happy is a yuppie word
Blessed is the man who's lost it all
Happy is a yuppie word
Looking for an orphanage
I'm looking for a bridge I can't burn down
I don't believe the emptiness
I'm looking for the kingdom coming down
Everything is meaningless
I want more than simple cash can buy
Happy is a yuppie word
Happy is a yuppie,
Nothing is sound
So come down
Sunshine, won't you be my mother
Sunshine, come and help me sing
My heart is darker than these oceans
My heart is frozen underneath
- Chorus -
We are crooked souls trying to stay up straight,
Dry eyes in the pouring rain well
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine
Two scared little runaways
Hold fast till the break of daylight when
The shadow proves the sunshine
Oh Lord, why did you forsake me?
Oh Lord, don't be far away, away
Storm clouds gathering beside me
Please Lord, don't look the other way
I'm a crooked soul trying to stay up straight
Shine on me,
Let my shadows prove the sunshine
Sex is currency
She sells cars,
She sells magazines
Addictive, bittersweet, clap your hands,
With the hopeless nicotines
Everyone's a lost romantic,
Since our love became a kissing show
Everyone's a Casanova,
Come and pass me the mistletoe
Everyone's been scared to death of dying here alone
- Chorus -
She is easier than love
Is easier than life
It's easier to fake and smile and bribe
It's easier to leave
It's easier to lie
It's harder to face ourselves at night,
Feeling alone
What have we done?
What is the monster we've become?
Where is my soul?
(Numb)
Sex is industry,
The CEO of corporate policy
A skin-deep ministry,
Suburban youth, hail your so called liberty
Every advertising antic
Our banner waves with a neon glow
War and love become pedantic,
We wage love with a mistletoe
Everyone's been scared to death of dying here alone
Sex is easier than love,
Where is my soul? (Where is my?)
Where is my soul?
Is this the New Year or just another night?
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
Is this the new tear or just another desperation?
Is this the finger or just another fist?
Is this the kingdom or just a hit and miss?
I miss direction, most in all this desperation
Is this what they call freedom?
Is this what you call pain?
Is this what they call discontented fame?
- Chorus -
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
For broken hearts and broken noses in the back
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
You push until you're shoving
You bend until you break
Do you stand on the broken fields where your fathers lay?
It'll be a day like this one, when the world caves in
Is there's nothing here worth saving?
Is no one here at all?
Is there any net left that could break our fall?
It'll be a day like this one
When the sky falls down
And the hungry and poor and deserted are found
Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard?
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards?
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
Is there nothing left now?
Nothing left to sing
Are there any left who haven't kissed the enemy?
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
Does justice never find you?
Do the wicked never lose?
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues?
And nothing is okay
Until the world caves in
Until the world caves in, until the world caves in...
I've got a wound that doesn't heal,
Burning out again,
Burning out again
I've not sure which of me is real,
I'm alone again,
Burning out again
My hope runs underneath it all,
The day that I'll be home
- Chorus -
It won't be long, I belong,
Somewhere past this setting sun
Finally free, finally strong,
Somewhere back where I belong
They're selling shares of me again,
But I'm not buying it,
I'm not buying it
My wound goes deeper than the skin,
There's no hiding it,
So I'm not trying it
My hope runs underneath it all,
The day that I'll be home
Finally back where we belong
Finally free
It's gonna take you to the setting sun
Let the weak say I am strong, and it won't be long,
Let the right say I was wrong, and it won't be long,
Let us find where we belong,
Beyond this setting sun,
Beyond this setting sun
Everything is broken
Everything is broken
Everything is breaking down, breaking down
Everything is bleeding
Everything is bleeding
Everything is breaking down, breaking down
- Chorus -
I pledge allegiance to a country without borders,
Without politicians
Watching for my sky to get torn apart
We are broken, we are bitter
We're the problem, we're the politicians
Watching for our sky to get torn apart
C'mon and break me
Entropy and aching
Where have we been aiming?
Everything is fading out, fading out
We are the faded, splintered, and sedated
Everything is fading out, fading out
(Like freedom in spring)
She's alone tonight,
With the bitter cup and,
She's undone tonight,
She's all used up,
She's been staring down the demons,
Who've been screaming she's just another so and so,
Another so and so
- Chorus -
You are golden,
You are golden, child
You are golden,
Don't let go,
Don't let go tonight
There's a fear that burns,
Like trash inside
And your shame, the curse,
That burns your eyes
You've been hiding in the bedroom,
Hoping this isn't how the story has to go
It's not the way it goes, it's your book now,
You're a lonely soul,
In a land of broken hearts
And far from home,
Is a perfect place to start
So this final verse,
Is a contradiction
And the more we learn,
The less we know
We've been talkin' about a feeling,
We both know inside but couldn't find the words
I couldn't write this verse,
I've seldom been so sure,
About anything before
This world is a dead man down (Golden, you are,)
Every breath is a fading crown we wear, (Golden, Child, you are,)
Like some debilitated king, (Golden, don't let go,)
Don't let go tonight
Earth spins and the moon goes round (Golden, you are,)
The green comes from the frozen ground, (Golden, Child, you are,)
And everything will be made new again, (Golden,)
Like freedom in spring, (Golden, Golden,)
Hey, like freedom in spring, (Golden, you are, hey,)
Like freedom in spring (Golden, Child, you are,)
I am the crisis
I am the bitter end
I'm gonna gun this down
I am divided
I am the razor edge
There is no easy now
- Chorus -
Son of sorrow
Staring down forever
With an aching view
Disenchanted
Let's go down together
With the fatal wound
This is the real thing
No rubber bullets now
This is the final bow
My breath avoids me
My chest is in my head
My stomach's upside down
- Chorus -
Son of sorrow
Staring down forever
With an aching view
Disenchanted
Let's go down together
With the fatal wound
With the fatal wound
With the fatal wound
All rise
All fall
I'll fail you all
We built these cities to stand so tall
We've lost our walls
I don't want to lose you coming down
With the whole world upside-down
I don't have a soul to trust in now
With the whole world upside-down
- Chorus -
We are one, tonight!
And we're singing it out!
We are one, tonight!
And we're dreaming out loud!
Though the world is flawed
These scars will heal
We are one, tonight!
Two eyes
One tongue
I've come undone
I'm no victim
I've paid these dues
I came to lose
I don't want to fight about it now
With the whole world upside-down
I don't have a soul to trust in, now
With the whole world upside-down
I don't want to lose the common ground
With the whole world upside-down
I don't want to fight about it now in a world that's burning out
Let's slow the evening down
Slow it down, slow down
Please slow down, down, down
The stars are coming out
Daisy, give yourself away
Look up at the rain
The beautiful display
Of power and surrender
Giving us today
When she gives herself away
Rain, another rainy day
It comes up from the ocean
To give herself away
She comes down easy
On rich and debt the same
When she gives herself away
- Chorus -
Let it go
Daisy let it go
Open up your fists
This fallen world
Doesn't hold your interest
Doesn't hold your soul
Daisy let it go
Pain, give yourself a name
Call yourself contrition
Avarice or shame
Giving isn't easy
And neither is the rain
When she gives herself away
Daisy, why another day
Why another sunrise
Who will take the blame
For all redemptive motion
And every rainy day
When he gives himself away
Let it go
Daisy let it go
Let it go...
