Les paroles


1. LIVING TOGETHER

It starts out like a season in reverse
A way to set your mind above and over words
Attached means identity
Erases things so how can we record?

Distress call code-word is I wanna live
He makes it up as it goes, it goes away
To places he can only hide in other peoples minds
He makes it up as it goes
It goes away

Your rational mind's insane
Taste the sound you make
When the light from the sun
It's the story that never gets sold
When the light from the sun, it is your mother

Attached means identity
Erases things so why should we...

Distress call code-word is I wanna live
He makes it up as it goes, it goes away
To places he can only hide in other peoples minds
Uh, he makes it up as it goes

With an effortless smile you pervade to be
And in-between aisles
They would say you stare to see
With an effortless smile you pervade to be
Always in-between aisles
Optimistic daring me
would you trade your soul for gold?
Would you trade your soul?
Would you trade...


2. IN THE MORNING AND AMAZING...

Infinite silence flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on

And how could anyone
You are in my dreams
Half human, half machine
You with someone else that I have felt and seen
I cannot rest, or my consciousness contest
Looking right through the lens
From winter brings the spring again

Infinite silence flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on

And we fall asleep again with ties to mend
So please let the cleaning begin with evolution

Hold my breath 'til communication is
Only just a test
Hold my breath 'til communication is
Only just a test
Hold my breath 'til communication is
Only just a test

You are in my dreams
Half human, half machine
Looking right through the lens
From winter brings the spring again

Infinite silence flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio on

Infinite silence flowing right in with the dawn
This is wrong, this is wrong
And I cannot sleep without the radio


3. THE GREATEST LIE

This building smelled so familiar
Well I had thought the sense was lost
And in a day dream I imagined my house
Where all my father's sense of strength was lost

It's all we have
It's all we have
So find me a place to begin

If I could get this feeling to end
Trembling idle hands holding me there
We laugh in the face of love
Cause nobody's really there
Nobody's real

Desire, I would try it either way
We believe in something invisible
The sense of smell that you use all your life
Well now you know your father lied

It's all we have
So find me a place to begin

If I could get this feeling to end
With trembling idle hands holding me there
We laugh in the face of love
Cause nobody's really there
Nobody's real

And I could never find my way without
But you're already there
And we, we've come a long long way without
Without maps in our hands

It's all we have
So find me a place to begin
If I could get this feeling to end
Trembling idle hands holding me there
We laugh in the face of love
Cause nobody's really there
Nobody's real


4. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICINE AND POISON IS IN THE DOSE

Move one inch at a time.
Don't make shit rhyme.
Would it be easy to repeat the first line?
My mind's not a well;
It won't run dry.
Just keep drinking water and you'll be alright.
This is paralysis with no time at all to let go.

Well don't call me by my full name,
And all this is temporary.
It feels much better to know that you won't feel a thing.
Well don't talk about it;
Write it down but don't ask for help.
I can't be honest with even myself.
Did you ever wish you were somebody else?

Accomplishments are transient.
They pulled me in unremittingly.
Just lasting this long,
I feel relieved to let repetition save me.

Well don't call me by my full name,
And all this is temporary.
It feels much better to know that you won't feel a thing.
Well don't talk about it;
Write it down but don't ask for help.
I can't be honest with even myself.
Did you ever wish you were somebody else?

Move one inch at a time.
You'll be just fine.
Move one inch at a time.
You'll find...
They pulled me in but accomplishments are transient.
They pulled me in but accomplishments are transient.

Well don't call me by my full name,
And all this is temporary.
It feels much better to know that you won't feel a thing.
Well don't talk about it;
Write it down but don't ask for help.
I can't be honest with even myself.
Did you ever wish you were...
Did you ever wish you were...
Did you ever wish you were somebody else?


5. MANDALA

Dance with me for I'll be leaving soon.
Afterbirth on the keypads overwhelm
"Did he who make the lamb make thee?"
Help me find its origin.

In a cartoon house, in a cartoon car.
There are cities buried underneath our cities
"Let the people be free...let the people be free"
It's all around us.

Dance with me for I'll be leaving soon
Afterbirth on the keypads overwhelm
"Did he who make the lamb make thee?"
Help me find its origin.

In a cartoon house, in a cartoon car.
There are cities buried underneath our cities
"Let the people be free...let the people be free"
It's all around us, it's all around...
"Let the people be free...let the people see"

We so obviously had another hand and oh so separated
How do I act like I've made this when I... when I...
When I so obviously had another hand.

Dance with me for I'll be leaving soon
Afterbirth on the keypads overwhelm
"Did he who make the lamb make thee?"
What happens when we reach for each other?


6. TRAVEL HYMN

It came across like you were mad
Holding in your breath with everything you had
Until your face began to turn red
"This is why I turn and walk away from everything"
I need to feel it closer now.
"This is why I turn and walk away from everything"
I never thought it'd be like this

Between the seal a church is revealed.
And I would rather be...

Lonely along the way
Something set us off into the wrong direction
but within this particular space,
Time goes to waste.
Time goes to waste...
Time goes to waste...
Time goes...

It came across like you were mad,
Holding in your breath with everything you had...
Until your face began to turn red.

Between the seal a church is revealed
And I would rather be...

Lonely along the way
Something set us off into the wrong direction
but within this particular space...

Time starts to slow down
and all of these patterns never change.
So slow down,
'cause nobody looks at life the same.
And no one was like this 'til you came along
and reset our dials all wrong.

Lonely along the way
Something set us off into the wrong direction
but within this particular space,
Time goes to waste.

Lonely along the way
Something set us off into the wrong direction
but within this particular space,
Time goes to waste.


7. SEMI-CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM

Leave out the meaning this time
Let tensions evolve
Intimate groove confused
In childish tantrums
Your feelings were sacrificed
For a greater cause,
and if you forget what you saw, you'll be forgiven.
But there isn't a chance...

That I could do this on my own.
Now our perceptions have grown.
Branches and petals of paper and metal.
Amber tinfoil forest confines us...
And we disconnect like this is the end
we disconnect like this is the end

For everybody else's sake
For everybody else's sake
Set your mental alarm
You think it's safe to rely on
(Let them sleep!)
But there isn't a chance...

That I could do this on my...
We do a childish dance.
Your feelings were sacrificed
For a greater cause,
and if you forget what you saw, you'll be forgiven.
But there isn't a chance...
But there isn't a chance...

For everybody else's sake
For everybody else's sake
Let tensions evolve
Intimate groove confused
In childish tantrums of youth
Let tensions evolve
Intimate groove confused
In childish like you always do

Set your mental alarm
If you think it's safe to rely on
If you think it's safe, for everybody else's sake


8. KICKING YOUR CROSSES DOWN

In case it gets away from us
Don't pull it close
The damage revealed the cost
And it wasn't worth it
But they'll never know
To keep in mind the line that separates idols
If the world is a dream and nothing is worth it
Unless you have a god

But we won't be saved
We'll live as slaves to love
What God takes away
Let's refill all your holes with mud
"Purchase your tickets; I'm kicking your crosses down"

In case it gets away from us
Don't pull it close
The damage revealed the cost
And it wasn't worth it
We're all going to hell

But we won't be saved
We'll live as slaves to love
What God takes away
Let's refill all your holes with mud
"Purchase your tickets; I'm kicking your crosses down"

And all the voices sound just like you
I'll be there, I'll be there
Breathe in, breathe in
It's been so long, I've felt so wrong again

I fixed myself up nice but you never came
The words rolled off our backs and sound the same
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
I hope that it's worth it but I'll never know


9. ON LETTING GO

For your futures sake
I've got advice I'd advise you to take
Don't keep betting
"Well, it's gotta light me up sometime"
You lost your turn
You lost your turn

"All I wanted to be was one of your children
And all I wanted to be was one of yours"
See how clean the water is where you are
Wash off your handcuffs
And know the hidden messages you hear
They aren't real.
You tricked your mind to feel
You tricked your mind to feel
You tricked your mind...

"All I wanted to be was one of your children
And all I wanted to be was one of yours"

Are we even now, are we even now?
We are unrelated, we are unrelated
[x2]

If blood is thicker than water
Then you'll drown quicker than we intended
If blood is thicker than water
And you'll know where you can find us in the end

So we can begin again
So we can begin
[x2]

"All I wanted to be was one of your children
And all I wanted to be was one of yours"


10. CARRY US AWAY

This is not a riddle
But it's meant to entertain.
I'll be your loyal Apostle
Just send me in to take the blame.

Well what would you expect to say?
It never mattered anyway

There'll be a site and an invisible light
Shown down on them and took them in
There'll be a time when maybe tonight
Temptations win and I give in

This is not a puzzle or mainframe
But it's meant to strengthen your faith
And each time the night falls upon us
We always end up the same

Well what would you expect to say?
It never mattered anyway

There'll be a site and an invisible light
Shown down on them and took them in
There'll be a time when maybe tonight
Temptations win and I give in

Were we not born into original sin?
What you ask for is what you get
And what you were given
So fold your hands and get down on your knees

There'll be a site and an invisible light
Shown down on them and took them in
There'll be a time when maybe tonight
Temptations win and I give in


11. CLOSE YOUR EYES TO SEE

If you pass away in the wing fortress
There's a time divider and a technical team will be
At your services for what that matters
When the mirror shatters it's harder for me to see

If there are any answers here we haven't searched for
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be, we were so secure?
Cause nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned

What I tried to say this couldn't feel more wrong
I can't believe its happening or lasting this long
If we know each other then why should it be so hard?
Why should it be so hard to make it stop?

If there are any answers here we haven't searched for
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be, we were so secure?
Cause nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned

What I tried to say this isn't real
And I feel ashamed that I don't think that I can heal

It's a shame that I would pretend
Before making amends
It's a shame that I can't
But nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out
But nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned
You're still disappointing them
You're still disappointing
You're still disappointing them

If there are any answers here we haven't searched for
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be, we were so secure?
Nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned


12.YOUR FRIENDS ARE GONE

(All your friends are gone)

It climbs in slowly behind
If you trust your neighbors
They'd never suspect what you're like
Welcome them into your life
No one has to know
Playback, delete, and rewind

It's getting closer than you thought it'd get
Just get inside
It's moving faster than you'd ever planned
You'll be relieved when

When you open up
You let yourself seem vulnerable
And the morning sun
Will make our bodies comfortable
In taking off your clothes
Everything hidden is suddenly exposed

Nobody wants to hear another
Story about how you couldn't write right
It climbs in slowly behind
No one has to know
Playback, delete, and rewind

Each one is louder than the one before
And the people you care for
At ten times the expense
of all that you spent
You'll be relieved when

When you open up
You let yourself seem vulnerable
And the morning sun
Will make our bodies comfortable
In taking off your clothes
Everything hidden is suddenly exposed

You'll keep it on the inside
'Cause that's the safest place
'Cause that's the safest place to hide

All of your friends are gone
And you were barely holding on
We were wrong and they fooled us once again
We are the loneliest of men, we're the loneliest

And all your friends are gone
Nobody hears you
And all your friends were wrong
Nobody cares
And all your friends are gone
Nobody is here with you
And all your friends were wrong
Nobody cares
