Les paroles

1. SET YOUR ARMS DOWN

Out on the back porch
You say tonight
We bring our pocket
Our pocket knives
You want to fight me
You want to fight
Forgotten sense of me
Saya, saya

And in the backyard
Into the night
We walk through fire
My love is your flashlight

They want to fight me
They want to fight
Forgotten sense of me
Saya, saya

Walk through the fire
Walk ’til it gets light
There is no hiding
To save your life

You’ve got to try

Say you’re me now
Set your arms down


2. WARPAINT

The war you fight
Is underneath
The water getting deeper
The wall, the wall, the falling wall
The wall is busting open

In like a dull knife
Pulls out all the stops
I fall out like
Time running out
In like a dull knife
I’m running out

You heard
Even when i was whispering
You hold on
The water was slippery
You listen
The weather was answering
I let go
I wanna get into it
You’ve got your reasons that
Hey hey
Turned by the seasons and
Long days gone
Too many minds in my
I don’t know
Got in the way of my
Busting out
Cold and under
I almost forgot to
Face up to
What i ought to
Willing and i do give offering to you
Willing and i do give offering to you
Don’t know why i feel so different
Feel just like a different person
Willing and i do give offering to you

You’re tied in a knot
Can’t throw you back here
You’ve got the floor they say
You gotta lock it up
Late into the night you wore off that fever
You’ve got your reasons that
Hey hey
Turned by the seasons and
Long days gone
Too many minds in my
I don’t know
Got in the way of my
Busting out

I’m over here by your way
Tight as a knot
I want to fade
I’m over here by your way
Tight as a knot
I want to fade


3. UNDERTOW

Your brown eyes are my blue skies
They light up the rivers that the birds fly over
Better not to quench your thirst
Better not to be the first one diving in though you caught me and you know why
You breathe in the deepest part of the water

What's the matter?
You hurt yourself?
Open your eyes and there was someone else
Now I've got you in the undertow
Now I've got you in the undertow
Why you wanna blame me for your troubles
Ah ah ah, you better learn your lesson yourself
Nobody ever has to find out what's in my mind tonight

Let tonight pass us by
Do you really want to be the one to fight
And I said you're better not to light that fire
It will take you to the darkest part of the weather

What's the matter?
You hurt yourself?
Open your eyes and there was someone else
Now I've got you in the undertow
Now I've got you in the undertow
Why you wanna blame me for your troubles
Ah ah ah, you better learn your lesson yourself
Nobody ever has to find out what's in my mind tonight
Nobody ever has to find out what's in my mind tonight
Nobody in my mind
Nobody in my mind

I feel it in my heart tonight

I laid on the floor pressing in my eyes
Seeing little lights
Please light these decisions that only one could make
I wanted to stay home but I went running from the troubles

What's the matter?
You hurt yourself?
Open your eyes and there was someone else
Now I've got you in the undertow
Now I've got you so
Why you wanna blame me for your troubles
Ah ah ah, you better learn your lesson yourself
Nobody ever has to find out what's in my mind tonight

I went running from the troubles


4. BEES

Your full moon taunts me

You put me, you put me on yourself
You've been at yourself
You woke me up last night
And my eyes lit up like lights
Like a string of pearls
But you still did what you wanted

And all the time it took you to get your self straight
All that time it took you to get your self straight
All that time it took you to get yourself straight
Was too late
So work harder for the things you made in me

And your full moon taunts me
And your thoughts they got me
Got me in
Got me in

And all the time it took you to get your self straight
All that time it took you to get your self straight
All that time it took you to get yourself straight
Was too late
So work harder for the things you made in me

Did i reset what I started?
Did I resist what I wanted?
Do I think you've got my number?
I'm not the one to continue on.

All that time it took you to get yourself straight
Was too late
So work harder for the things you made in me


5. SHADOWS

I know I'm afraid, I know I'm afraid,
I'm drunk and I'm tired,
And the city I walk in, the city I walk in,
It feels like it swallows,
With my hand in my pocket,
I feel like a shadow, I feel like a shadow.

Though I'm afraid,
Afraid that I have made mistakes.
Now there's nothing here for me.
The things you once told me,
The thoughts you once gave me,
Sound like the wind in my ears
That blows out the knots I've got in my long brown hair.

I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than that.
What did you whisper in my ear?
What did you tell me that I wanted to hear?
What was the answer you wanted me to find out?
There's no lies, the lies, the lies, the lies...

Brought back something,
A bit for you, a bit for everyone.
You and all your pieces,
You and all your pieces made me come,
And all that love you gave was strong enough to make me stay and now it will be alright.

I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than that.
I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than that.

What did you whisper in my ear?
What was the answer you wanted me to find out?
There's no lies, the lies, the lies, the lies...


6. COMPOSURE

How can I keep my composure?
How can I keep my composure?
How can I keep my composure?
I turn my back and you got my shoulder
Release your mind, through your hands and your feet
A sigh digs you out when you are getting to deep

How can I keep my composure?
How can I keep my composure?
A sordid spot, a monster takeover
Living in shame's gonna haunt my sleep
How can I keep
How can I keep
How can I keep my composure?

Darling one
I am falling
And the words are gone

You are beyond
You are beyond
You are beyond
You are beyond
You are beyond
You are beyond
You are beyond
You are beyond
You are beyond

Darling one
I am falling
And the words are gone

You are beyond
You are beyond


7. BABY

Don't you call anybody else baby,
'Cause I'm your baby still
You took a long time to make it
But I've never changed my mind
I've never tried to fake it
Never drew the line

Don't you call anybody else baby,
'Cause I'm your baby still
You took a long time to make it
But I've never changed my mind

You speak your fears
Thinking in circles
And checking word nears
Don't think
You live your life like a page
From the book of my fantasy

I write of you

You speak your fears
Thinking in circles
And checking word nears
Don't think
You live your life like a page
From the book of my fantasy

You speak your fears
Thinking in circles
And checking word nears
Don't think
You live your life like a page
From the book of my fantasy

You speak your fears
Thinking in circles
And checking word nears
Don't think
You live your life like a page
From the book of my fantasy

Don't you call anybody else baby


8. MAJESTY

When I held your hand
When I held your hand
When I helped you
When I held your hand
You still went the other way and you wanted me to stay with my arms streching away
With my arms streching away
I couldn't stand that sight 'cause I adored your face
I adore your face

Could it be that I'm the same
Could it be I'm your mirror showing you all those things that you never wanted to face

So you let me slip away
You just watched me walk away
And I just have to ask, do you know your fate?
Do you know your fate?

Could it be that I'm your
Could it be that you are my majesty

When it all comes back
When it all falls into place
Could it be that I don't want it anyways
Could it be as sad as that?
There was a day we used to laugh
And I wanted you by my side
The perfect match
I want to understand
The perfect match

Could it be that I'm your
Could it be that you are my majesty

You could have been my king
You could have been my king
You could have been my king


9. LISSIE'S HEART MURMUR

On the edge of the water
Where the ships pass by
And the sound of your laughter
In the endless sky
Tips my head back
Full of swimming thoughts
Beneath deep breathing
That sinks so far down

And I handle my business
And I know the prize
Is of no consequence
You have looked with your eyes
Wide open to what’s inside
That sinks so far down

I’m in two

I went looking
Went searching
Under the water
Sinking and pushing
Til you pulled me under
To where you are
To where we build our house
And so we sink so far down
And we can’t go back now
Can’t go back now
On the edge of the water
Where the ships pass by
And the sound of your laughter
In the endless sky
Tips my head back
Full of swimming thoughts
Beneath deep breathing

Now I stay holding this honesty with you

I went looking
Went searching
Under the water
Sinking and pushing
Til you pulled me under
To where you are
To where we build our house
And so we sink so far down
And we can’t go back now

Sink so far down
When I know you’re around
And I can’t go back now
Can’t go back now
