If you were still my friend again
We could forget our tragic end
I see your picture and I'm still afraid
Who knows what songs we might have played?
If you hadn't been a rigid soul
You could have been a part of my great plan to take control
If there's still magic in your eyes
Then I'll be thoroughly surprised
I don't mind if time's been bad to you
But it's been good to me, will jealousy ruin all that's true?
But I can't reconnect
Don't know what to expect
Many times I've cried for you, I think I'm losing touch
Maybe I have tried a bit too much
If you'd not gotten lost in space
Would I still be dreaming of your face?
I won't click to add you to my list
'Cause I can't take the possibility I'd be dismissed
I can't reconnect
But I cannot forget
All these times I've cried for you
I think I'm losing touch
I'm sorry that I lied to you
It hurts me so damn much
All these times I've tried
But as you would expect
I can't bring myself to reconnect - Track Name: Red Lights
-
The rain, it falls in perfect lines
The air is cool, the night divine
Cars zoom down the road with headlights on
Her steps splash on the puddled ground
The thunder masks the other sound
She skips a stone across a glist'ning pond
She pulls her hood over her head head
Her coat is black, umbrella red
She makes the long walk home, she's all alone
With ev'ry breath the air can cloud
She thinks deep and she thinks aloud
How does she know her thoughts are all her own?
How can you be sure you're thinking free when you live
in society where they take twice as much as you give?
Red Lights, Red Lights, Red Lights
Stopping you in your tracks
Red Lights, Red Lights, Red Lights
You're never going back
White butterfly tells me that I want to get away
What sparked the thought she'll never know
But crosswalk says it's time to go
She passes through the headlights on her way
Somethings can't be put into words
Now darkness seems to comfort her
And now her life will never be the same
How do you know where you're gonna go when you die
If your body decays and no spirit stays, what is the lie?
Red Lights, Red Lights, Red Lights
Stopping you in your tracks
Red Lights, Red Lights, Red Lights
You're never going back
She realized that it's very peaceful to be dead - Track Name: Cave Paintings

I listen to the silence, to hear what once was heard
I'm being brought to tears but without a single word
I stand where once stood others, and immortality was sought
What could have gone through his mind when he turned to her and thought
I'll draw her cave paintings, horses on the wall
Cave paintings, our lives don't matter at all
If I could speak I'd sing her a song that would last a thousand years
But I can't so I'll just draw, focusing my fears
When did we learn emotion? When did fear and love come in?
Was he living life in sentience, had we yet created sin?
Did he think about the future, as his drawing set him free?
These questions have no answers, just a painted legacy
I'll draw her cave paintings, mammoths on the wall
Cave paintings, our lives don't matter at all
If I could speak I'd sing her a song that would last a million years
But I can't so I'll just draw, focusing my fears
Standing where a man stood thirty thousand years in the past
It's hard to keep composure, for I wonder if I'll last
Will what I create remain when our cities fin'ly fall
He and I are not that different, as I paint upon the wall
I'll draw them cave paintings, paintings on the wall
Cave paintings, our lives don't matter at all
If it would last, I'd sing them a song that could be heard in a billion years
But I can't so I'll just draw, preserving my hopes and my fears
Cave paintings, paintings on the wall
Cave paintings, our lives don't matter at all
If it would last, my song would ring out and be heard forever and on
But it can't, so I'll just draw, and hope they stumble upon
My cave paintings, cave paintings, cave paintings… - Track Name: Rolling in the Deep
-
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could've had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul in your hand
And you played it to the beat
Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could've had it all
Yea, it was so sweet
You had my heart and soul in your hand
And you played it to the beat - Track Name: Silly Pretty Girl
-
I couldn't stay away 'cause I'm so attracted to you
You said I need to get out and play, and that's something I could do
I tried to take you by the hand and lead you
The night was Halloween, there was a party at my friend's
I asked if you'd be seen, you said you might attend
You didn't show. I stayed until the end
Silly pretty girl, why depend?
Silly pretty girl, don't fall in love again
You talk of silly things, your dreams are big and wild
I listened to you sing, we spoke for quite a while
I really love to see you smile
You're questioning everything, I see that you're confused
You are never sinning, you have nothing to lose
A real heart is invested in the truth
Silly pretty girl, there's so much to
Silly pretty girl, don't believe what they say is true
I don't want to hurt you
But I don't want to desert you
Life is yours to explore and it can be a whirl
There's always something more. The oyster has a pear
You are my silly pretty girl - Track Name: Something About You
-
There's something about you!
Tell me when was it that you got me again
Cause lately I'm part of all the madness again
Sometimes it feels like, like I'm surrounded
Sometimes I get so, so distracted
It doesn't matter. It all ends the same
There's something about you
Putting it on as you're taking it off
There's something about you
Something about you makes me want to
Oh your hi-fi connects me to the right side of you
But there's a fine line going on about the same time I knew
Sometimes it feels like I bring it on myself
Sometimes I take this, I put it somewhere else
It don't matter (don't matter), it all ends the same
There's something about you (Ahhhhhhh)
Putting it on as you're taking it off
There's something about you (Ahhhhhhh)
Something about you makes me want to
I know, I know, there's something on the table, I know
But I know, I know, I doesn't really matter. No, no.
If I can't hear you in my mind
There's something about you (Ahhhhhhh)
Putting it on as you're taking it off
There's something about you (Ahhhhhhh)
Pulling me in, breaking me down
There's something about you
Something about you makes me want to
Makes me want to, makes me want to
There's something about you, makes me want to - Track Name: Turn to Black
-
I know that you are not the kind of girl
who's to nice to get angry or to get afraid
And I know you are not the lonely sort
who's too observant to get played
Yes, it's true, I have got my eye on you.
Well, I know you won't hate me. That much is for sure.
You'll be a challenge for my Reptillian ways.
I've just got to get you out the door.
I want you under my table tonight
I'll devour you nightly, you're my little snack
I want you wrapped tight in my arms tonight
I will hold you too tightly 'til you turn to black
I have tried to understand you
And command you as I can do
I've been lied to, it's my pride you try to break
What's the use though? Your excuse, oh
It's so nicely improvised that
I won't hear it, when I'm near it
I will take it and dine
I want you under my table tonight
I'll devour you nightly, you're my little snack
I want you wrapped tight in my arms tonight
I will hold you too tightly 'til you turn to black
You are the thing that I adore
You are the thing I can't ignore
I could probably keep a girlfriend
If I wasn't such a maniac
But like you I will turn to black - Track Name: God Let the Animals Drown
-
Hey Noah, why don't you sacrifice yourself?
Save the world for somebody else
Hey Noah, does the rain wash away our sin?
Keep your footing; don't give in
Hey Noah, you can't hold our precious lives
We're sons and daughters, husbands and wives
Hey Noah, does the rain reflect our tears?
Please keep fighting for more years
'Cause if there's glory found in death
I tell you you'll just forget
And if there's romance in sacrifice
You're not doing something right
And if you leave us all behind
I'm certain you will find
As you sail off on safe ground
God let the animals drown
Hey Noah, why obey and why submit?
For your worship he's not fit
Hey Noah, can you at least say goodbye?
We're not ready, not ready to die - Track Name: In the Streets Tonight
-
Each day I wake up to the same old song
Each day I'm wondering, where do I belong?
Each day I'm walking to the same old school
Questioning what I learn but following the rules
Everyday I play their game
Take what they give me, number and name
I think about what I'm to be
How do I know my thoughts are free?
How do I know what in this world's right?
How do I know when I've seen the light?
How do I know that I won't die in the streets tonight?
Each minute in the day feels one hour long
It's like I'm living always told that I'm wrong
I wonder what it's like to be on my own
Someday I'll have no address and no phone
Only see who I want to see
Only be what I want to be
Only listen to those that I choose
There's no way that I could lose
In the never-ending fight
To keep going on in spite
Of the fact that I might die in the streets tonight
(Tell me more lies, tell me more lies
Tell me more lies, tell me more lies
Tell me more lies, tell me more lies
Tell me more lies, tell me more lies)
I'm standing in a secret factory
Where they make knowledge, and it is not cheap
It comes at quite an esteemed cost
The skill to question has to be lost
Just ask your teacher how and why
And you will be condemned to die
To survive you'll need some might
To escape your tragic plight
But the odds are you will die in the streets tonight - Track Name: Crystal Eyes
-
I used to mourn every death 'til a man in black taught me it's okay
And yet as my friends take their last breaths, I don't know what to say
Their crystal eyes close, but I see them everywhere
There's nothing I can do, but I still care
You seemed so big on the outside, but inside you were really small
I held you close to me as you died. It didn't really matter at all
I know we all must go, someday I will die
But when I see you in my dreams I cry
It's everything I don't believe in. I welcome death as the one thing that's true
I can feel you when I'm sleeping but I wake up and I don't have you
I'll have others I can smile with at any pace
But a friend is something you cannot replace - Track Name: I Hate Writing Songs (Live)
-
Have you ever felt the need to express your thoughts
But in a different way 'cause you don't know what to say
So you decide to write a song
I hate writing songs
First you gotta start with the lyrics
then you add a tune
I especially hate writing lyrics
and oh, I hate the tune
Because I hate writing songs
Everything turns out wrong
I hate writing songs
But if you believe
Then you can achieve
And you will write a song
Oh, I hate writing songs
I don't hate when they turn out great
But usually they do not
I especially don't hate when they turn out great
But usually they're a piece of snot
Because I hate writing songs
Everything turns out wrong
I hate writing songs
But if you excel
It can turn out well
And you will write a good song
Oh, I hate writing songs
(Instrumental)
Yes, I hate writing songs
Everything turns out wrong
I hate writing songs
But if you know how to
The critics will say "Wow!" too
And you will have a hit song
But I hate writing songs
I hate writing songs
Everything turns out wrong, oh yeah
I hate writing songs
But I cannot lie
Sometimes I give it a good try
And I come out with a good song
Oh but I hate writing songs
Yes I hate writing songs
