I know that I can’t tell you

This light is slowly fading

Like mail that was never dated
From towns that were burned and raided
And lost without a soul
With you forever more

I’m sorry but I can’t tell you

I feel like a pattern
A shape that will never matter
A color that will never flatter
It’s all gonna come around
It’s all gonna make your eyes burn

I really wanna tell you

That love is like a furnace
That burns in and out of purpose
So hot that it makes me nervous
So large that it won’t cool out
So big that it can’t burn out

I wait sixteen, a Saturday love

My heart beats fast, in far away love
Your eyes so pure, they never grow up
You stay with me, we never grow up
My love

I know that I can’t tell you

My mind is running circles
My eyes have begun to swirl
Like death that is not as sterile
I ain’t gonna let you down
I ain’t gonna let you leave me

I’m sorry but I can’t tell you

That life that it makes me crazy
So I just like to daydream
Cause dreams yeah they make me happy
Will you come along, my love?
Will you come along here with me?

I wait sixteen, a Saturday love

My heart beats fast, in far away love
Your eyes so pure, they never grow up
You stay with me, we never grow up
My love
There is a crowd in here, that fooled themselves
They brought their friends and they made their hell
They faked their grin in a lonely cell
To the bitter end
But what do I know?
There are a few good here, that hurt themselves
They kick and been in a dried up well
They call for help and you know them well
Are you aware?
But what do I know?
I will not surrender
No, I will not surrender
When God falls fast asleep
The kids still dance in city streets
From the White House lawn to the Middle East
And all around
I’m just sayin’ that this time I feel it now
When God falls fast asleep
The kids still move to a steady beat
Even if it’s bombs landing at their feet
Are all around
I’m just saying that this time I feel it now
There is a place to hide, it’s in our minds, it’s in the dark
It’s well known that we have a fragile heart
It’s deep inside
It has a sound that you can follow
You feel like you hit a wall, but you survive
And it was hard for you to swallow
I’ve been to that place before, in spite of luck
When you awake, a new tomorrow
I will not surrender
No, I will not surrender
When God falls fast asleep
The kids still dance in city streets
From the White House lawn to the Middle East
And all around
I’m just sayin’ that this time I feel it now
When God falls fast asleep
The kids still move to a steady beat
Even if it’s bombs landing at their feet
Are all around
I’m just saying that this time I feel it now
Anxiety…Don’t pressure us... I made tonight a memory
I can walk for miles and miles
Faster… I left a shadow at her feet
I dream in speeds of ashes I can see her all alone
My heart it beats and crashes The night itself, a reverie
I’m running from the truth, cause it fucks with my mind I can dream this out for a while
I keep her lost in lock and key
Waiting… Cause she’s just my kind of style
We’re silly, we’re so reckless
The city it’s so heartless. She takes my hand and leads me in
A bottle full of crude that washed up in the tide It is not over
She sets the mood so I begin
Don’t pressure us, anxiety.  I’m a passenger And I walk over
So serious, anxiety.  Just a passenger She speaks a word to make me grin
Can I please have her?
Handsome and callous, young believers We grab a hold to brace the end
Hidin’, plottin’ schemers This is what I am speaking of
And rotting out like fruit, that was left here to die I made tonight a memory
Talkin’, playin’ after hours Yeah you took me higher and higher
Time is bending outward You make it hard for me to leave
And falling to my knees But I’m coming back to you
To crawl home safe inside She takes my hand and leads me in
It is not over
Don’t pressure us, anxiety.  I’m a passenger She sets the mood so I begin
And I walk over
So dangerous, anxiety.  Just a passenger She speaks a word to make me grin
Don’t pressure us, anxiety.  I’m a passenger Can I please have her?
So serious, anxiety.  Just a passenger We grab ahold to brace the end
This is what I am speaking of
Don’t pressure us.
I crawled my way back in your head
To hear you speak and dream again
There’s something you said
A whirlwind, a voice
Together you said
But I have no choice
Oh please, stay a while
God I love your smile
I never felt alone
But here feels like hell
When I’m on my own
And you’re all I feel
Oh please, stay a while
God I love your smile
A rat in a cage
A stone in a stream
I float far away
I live in a dream
Oh please, stay a while
God I love your smile
And how about that thing
You do when you’re awake
A laugh with a sting
A bite from a snake
Oh please, stay a while
God I love your smile

To touch your lips from deep within

A bit like love, a heroine

I’ll cross the grave, invite the bends

Carry you out when the world ends

I’ll crash away and lose you when

You’re in my arms just like the wind
A waterfall, a wonderful bliss
But a teardrop falls
You say your goodbye
It means nothing
I say that we tried and we gave our
all
You fall to the floor
I’m not buying
I’m not for this and all you ever so is
stall
And I am so damn sick of trying
And now we are fucked cause we’ve
wrecked it all
I will not save you
Can you tell me your name, there?
Are you calling me out?
Are you walking my way?
Are you losing your faith?
Cause you make lots of noise, there
Are you looking for buyers?
Or a group of more liars?
Are you using your faith?
When we all have a choice, then
Will you act like a man?
Will you raise up your hands?
When the shit hits the fan?
Turning white as a ghost
As the air leaves your throat
Will you throw me a rope?
Or go at it alone?
So dry your eyes And into your heart like a virus
Get on your feet, don’t pretend to cry It would crawl and would crawl as
Or fix you and I we lay there blind
Yeah, we’re here again It broke you and I
So follow me in
Today is the day it ends So dry your eyes
Get on your feet, don’t pretend to
I can’t complain cry
It’s been good, not great Or fix you and I
But the time flew by Yeah, we’re here again
It came from behind, it was flying So follow me in
It was hard to hold on, every time we’d fight Today is the day it ends
And though it would end, it’s exhausting
It left cracks that would grow in and out of mine Today it ends
It’s a little late, in a little while Can you tell me your name, there?
Can we forget about it? Does the cat have your tongue?
With a little lake of a little fire Are you calling someone?
We’ll take the fun out of it Are you waiting to run?
Pour a little wine, take a little kneel When the show will arrive
Pack a winter bag and wallet It will be right on time
Get a bit of ice and a heavy meal So you better sit tight
There is no easy way out It’ll be a great ride
As you pray for the end to come Where we goin’?
All you’ll get is a marching line Come on over
As you wait for the hounds of hell No one’s dying
You’ll be in for a big surprise We’re fine
Cause the end it will never come
But we’re in for a few hard times
And we’ll get knocked up, down and done
But the truth is we’re still alive
You’re a liar
You wear a gun, makes you look bigger
You scare the crowd, don’t you feel smarter
Like a little kid, you play with fire
You do your part, you do it all
But those words from your mouth, they are scary
And the hate that you have, that you carry
It will grow and will grow ‘til we’re buried
You’re so clever
If this is war, it’s like no other
If there is blame, it’s on each other
I hear the cries, they last forever
We did our part, we came along
But those words from your mouth, they are scary
And the hate that you have, that you carry
It will grow and will grow ‘til we’re buried
And there will be nothing left except sadness
And a scar without words, without anything
Cause we’ve done this before
This is madness
I am sorry
But those words from your mouth, they are scary
And the hate that you have, that you carry
It will grow and will grow, ‘til we’re buried
And there will be nothing left, except sadness
And a scar without words, without anything
Cause we’ve done this before, this is madness
This is wrong, this is us, this is happening
But we’ve done this before, but we’re standing
We’re still standing
And we’ve done this before, but we’re standing
Chalked up in a city street
Broke glass and a bloody scene
Young guns that are half my age
From Baghdad up to Monterey
Cell phones and the magazines
Death, bombs, and with human beings
Hate, war, and diamond rings
Nightmares of silly things
How does anybody sleep at night?
Out of mind but not out of sight
Out of love and we’ve just begun
Living large in America
But I found one last thing to believe in
Close calls and we’re holding on
Police lines and fire alarms
High winds with a heavy fall
Dead birds in a parking stall
How does anybody sleep at night?
I lay in bed and I close my eyes
I kind of rest but it starts to hurt
Living here is a lot of work
But I found one last thing to believe in
And when time is right
It’s gonna change the world
And with the darkened sky
There is nothing fertile
And there is no more love
Or fucking gates of pearl
I see the seven stars
I see the seven stands
I hear the deathly voice
I count the sins we have
I am the living one
I am the first and last
The crowds, the noise
The change of the guard
It’s such a strange celebration
Kids, they laugh as fire it eats up the world
It’s such a strange celebration
All our eyes are burned by heaven and earth
It’s such a strange celebration
The ice is really cold, the streetlights really old
Her child’s all alone, as she melts into her own
And slowly fades away, into a river full of shame
But at least numb to the pain
Can you see it?
Can you feel the shallow wave?
From a needle to the grave
From her hell to far away
You’re my only
You’re so sad my valentine
On your journey to the light
But first straight to the fire
And we are, all that we are
Holding on, till we fall apart
We are all that we are

And they know who we are

The seven angels sing
And several billion die
With the earth shaking
Yeah they know who we are
And they will set us free

The crowds, the noise

The change of the guard
It’s such a strange celebration
Kids, they laugh as fire it eats up the world
It’s such a strange celebration
All our eyes are burned by heaven
