(If you're waiting for me to give up, you might be here a while)
(Sing a song about life)
(Applejack, why are you so angry? It's just Strawberry's honest opinion. What's wrong with that?)
(You know how we do it)
Wish I could tear my heart out like you
Everything could be so simple
But I don’t wanna be like you
Even if it kills me, kills me
I’ve been where you’ve been
Only thing that matters is that “they’ll grow thick skin”, right?
Right
Reflection of a lonely life
—
Narcissus with a broken heart
Petals falling at the seams
You can print a beauty mark
With your insecurities
Narcissus with a broken heart
Lifting every rock you see
You’ve been praying for a brand new start
But still you are a raging sea
—
Your eyes like lightning bugs
Trapped in a silhouette
Outlines of your hopes and dreams
Caress the sky you’ve met
The ember that you’re hiding
Burns bright in someone else
Envying a humble strife
Feelings you’ve not felt
Raindrops they fall without a care
You know, you know
You find no fault inside your fear
Even when the stars surround you
Surround you
Center of the universe
Around you, Around you
All you do is make things worse
—
Narcissus with a broken heart
Petals falling at the seams
You can print a beauty mark
With your insecurities
Narcissus with a broken heart
Lifting every rock you see
You’ve been praying for a brand new start
But still you are a raging sea
—
Don't you waste my time
Don't you waste my time
Don't you waste my time
Don't you waste my time

Eyes like a motherfucking halo
Eyes, eyes like a motherfucking halo
Eyes like a motherfucking halo
But don’t you dare call him an angel
—
Petty nepo boy in the pink shorts
His daddy covers for his sins in the pink court
Moccasins on, he don’t skin his own hides
And his momma picked them out at full price
Well I’d rather be a loner than a faker
And I’d rather be a bitch than a taker
They say “they’re gonna do it anyway,
so let’s all just stay safe”
—
Words like bristles, smiles through grit
Perfumes, poisons, in each spit
Do you know the rules, do you follow?
All which he decides change tomorrow
—
I’ve been in the hell he believes in
It’s a ten step guide on social eating
I’ve been growing on the walls and I’m staying
Putting my money on the game that they’re playing
I can't take you seriously
When you're out there staring at me
In your hive mentality
Weaving your reality
(By the seaside, by the seaside, by the seaside, by the seaside)
—
It's a long con it's another charade
If you're not the type, then you just can't stay
Everyone knows the name of the game
But me
(In the Hudson Bay, you know how we do it)
Can't a girl get some room to breathe?
"Feel free to smile, it'll put me at ease!"
"Surely you can find the
brighter side of it?"
—
Words like bristles, smiles through grit
Perfumes, poisons, in each spit
Do you know the rules, do you follow?
All which he decides change tomorrow

I’ve been growing on the walls and I’m staying

Weaving your reality

Eyes like a motherfucking halo
Eyes, eyes like a motherfucking halo
Eyes like a motherfucking halo
But don’t you dare call him an angel
Eyes like a motherfucking halo
Eyes, eyes like a motherfucking halo
Eyes like a motherfucking halo
But don’t you dare call him an angel

Been thinking to myself
A little fish peeking out the pond
'Cuz I’ve been so scared
In a way I haven’t before
The world’s still been turning
But I’ve finally been circling around
Around
Around again
In the absence of comfort
Trying to smile like then
—
Oh a fickle thing is self
Eyes up for the recital
Could a fluttering heart
Fly too high?
In the absence of comfort
Trying to stoke a fire
The oddities of yesterday
Are so out of reach
Even on
The quietest night

The Death of All Magic
05:31
|
|
||
|
You've got me all figured out
Cameras, lights, tracing my mouth
(Woah)
You know me before I do
Show me what's hot and what's new
(I still lay awake, lay awake, lay awake, and I dream)
—
Witness the death of all magic
To the wisest, it’s tragic
One man shouldn’t have all that
We can take it all away just like that
Function is a figment of the past
Peer to pier, sailing for a wave behind glass
Trash is treasure too murky to wade in
And godliness is overrated
(I still lay awake, lay awake, lay awake, and I dream)
—
The future is a square, it’s a blank, it’s a rerun
Link death, enterprise murder since day one
And you don’t think they know?
Blazing Yggdrasil for a steady cash flow
Heaven’s no fun anymore
Heaven’s no fun anymore
Heaven’s no fun anymore
Heaven’s no fun anymore
—
I can’t sort through all this clutter
Your loudest words are still a mutter
And who knows what of our future?
When spring is over, byes aflutter
—
Twinleaf daydreams
Disrupt their steady streams
Art is only dead if you say so
And beauty's not the spark, it's the afterglow
Heaven’s no fun
No fun anymore
(In the Hudson Bay, you know how we do it)
(I still lay awake, lay awake, lay awake, and I dream)
—
Witness the death of all magic
To the wisest, it’s tragic
One man shouldn’t have all that
We can take it all away just like that
The future is a square, it’s a blank, it’s a rerun

And you don’t think they know?
Blazing Yggdrasil for a steady cash flow

Heaven’s no fun anymore
Heaven’s no fun anymore
Heaven’s no fun anymore
Heaven’s no fun anymore
Heaven’s no fun anymore
Heaven’s no fun anymore
Heaven’s no fun anymore
Heaven’s no fun anymore

(Stop requested)
(Approaching El Camino Real)
Open all the doors
When they're closing
Drizzle on the glass
Keeps me hoping
Beauty in the wheels
That keep turning
Caffeine in the cup
Stops the hurting
I love everything
Is it lucid?
Scenes of every day
Turned to loose ends
Going by so fast
Still a memoir
Visions of the past
Still you go far
—
(In the world between worlds, in the world between worlds)
(Sing a song about life)
—
Passing envy of
The homesick
Finding home in what
Feels listless
Longing for the lull
And the love
Of the life
Of the lonely soul
(You know how we do it)
Purgatory of
The humdrum
Haven to the
Wisps of tandem
Peering through the mist
Through the fog
Where the spirits
Dwell
(Touch yellow tape to open doors)
(Doors closing)
—
Face that sunk
A thousand ships
Roads, now seas,
We explore
(In the world between worlds)
Captain won't you
Wake me when it's time?
Spare no chime
With dreams like mine
(In the world between worlds)
—
Picture every face
I had once known
Do you know my name?
Could it be so?
Could you know my eyes
When you said it?
I wear every stitch
Of your panic
Pulling every petal
From yourself
Preaching from the
Branch where I once fell
Transient, the first
Of communions
Dreaming of a
Pointless reunion
—
Face that sunk
A thousand ships
Roads, now seas,
We explore
(In the world between worlds)
Captain won't you
Wake me when it's time?
Spare no chime
With dreams like mine
(In the world between worlds)
Remember
Remember
Remember
(In the world between worlds)
Remember
Remember
Remember
Remember
(In the world between worlds)
Remember
(In the world between worlds, in the world between worlds)
(Doors closing)
(Please hold on)

So you're going to read Plato's myth of the cave?
I gotta warn you, it's not easy
('Bout life)
(In the Hudson Bay, you know how we do it)
(In the Hudson Bay, you know how we do it)
Before you explore, there are a few things you should know
—
I hold your heart in amber
My static daydream
You're a little white lie in my smile
You’re a grain of salt in the sea
You’re a ghost living in my pocket
Haunting my memories
You're the best of every game I've ever played
From the valley to the ever burning everglade
Is the moon always whole in the night?
Many go in, but few come out
To see the light
—
I know you're more than that!
Blessing is not a fact
But I believe in you
Like crosses mark the path
Oh!
Cross cross cross
Cross it out
I'll make a nativity for you
And I'll pray
And I'll pray
—
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
(1, 2, 3)
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
—
Confess! I'll be waiting in the booth for you
Tell me everything I've ever wanted
I know you're a mess
But that makes two of us
Resurrecting, genuflecting in your name
I've been dumb like you, so who's really to blame?
Show me a sign! Are you real? Are you there?
Would you be the same?
—
I don't know any other way
To live with myself and you
—
You know how we do it
You know what we say
Keeping company like
We're in Hudson Bay
I've been on my knees
Like I'm a patron saint
Every station is a
Crucifying flame
And I've got faith like that
Exercise my demons
At the drop of a hat
You are the way
The truth
And the life
Of my past
—
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
(1, 2, 3)
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you

(Hashtag Wallace and Gromit, Forever)
(Perfect)
(I ate the moon)
(What?)
(Perfect)
(No)
(Break it down baby)
(You know how we do it)
—
Colours, lines
Geometry of self
You wouldn't know
The first sign of a tell
"Welcome in!
I hope you're doing well today"
Did I do it right?
Is this satisfactory?
Paint me head to hoof
Your carriage awaits
I'll be your entertainment
For the evening
Colourpicking from your dreams
Mirror image doll
Would see my strings
If I were to fall?
(Jah)
(No)
—
I feel your gaze
When it's not there
Waiting to chart
Your lonely stare
Copy paste the framing
Print and pack the painting
Swatch and style the language
Of your aspect
—
Can't leave it to the fates
To fight all
When the lines align and I
Might
Lose it all again
'Cuz I just
Might be the one
To feign trust
And it's all so fickle
Fashioning a veil
For economics to trickle
Flip a coin for your thoughts
Every step you take
Is a bullet to dodge
(It's a long way out)
It's a long way out
From inside
If you know the moves
You'll fit
Right in?
(Can't wait!)
Can't wait to do it again
Every other glare
Breath out
Breathe in
Pick another poison
Scraping by a chance
To be revealed
To them
(Jah)
(Break it down baby)
—
I feel your gaze
When it's not there

Your lonely stare

(Okay, guys are you tired?)
(Ugh, is it time to go yet? I'm ready)
(It's 8:30)
(It's 8:30, yay!)
(Unintelligible)
[Unintelligible]
[Laughter]
(— polka dot, awh yeah)
[Unintelligible]
(That's better)
(It's a beautiful car, Izzy isn't it a beautiful car?)
—
Software ghost
Do you believe in me?
How could you be in reach?
When you don't know my name
Hide and seek in silence
I hold the past behind us
You are a soul in amber
A window of your ember
—
This valley's haunted
Shall I join the hunted?
This valley poisoned me
And I bred its toxins
—
Paradise waits in the
Valley of shadows you cast
To the victor the spoils
Spoiling of sins you've amassed
While these horrors so vile
Flicker like film in the dark
Weep gentle souls
They lament your part
Lurking in their reflections
[You know how we do it]
—
Flag at half mast
Setting my signals aflame
I'm so sorry
Would that this moment be frayed
Repent, repent
Reap at the end
I know we'll mend
Please look at me
—
This valley's haunted
Shall I join the hunted?
This valley poisoned me
And I bred its toxins

(There you go)
Every time I spread my wings
I think of you
Heaven ain't what it used to be
Maybe I'm the fool
Holding you
My amber moment in time
I still remember hitting the concrete
When the earth was mine
Please don't laugh
Please don't look at me that way
Oh ego, mine empty promises
Could I know your true gaze?
Betwixt, ablaze and grounded
Lay to rest the veins I bleed
To crucify the angel
That you hoped of me
(Aye)
—
Brother, are you proud of me?
I think I'm unfolding
Space and time between my eyes
No tears for beholding
The weight of tomorrow
Shatters our crystal ball
How could I not look back
From the mess of it all
—
(Their cynic parley is just the way they cry)
(The city we built turns to flame)
(Just close your eyes)
(And fall to the sky)
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
From all those miles away
I know it's been so hard
Lost my faith in a flame in the dark
Maybe I could be the parasite
In the valley of paradise
(In the Hudson Bay, you know how we do it)
—
Brother, are you proud of me?
I think I'm unfolding
Space and time between my eyes
No tears for beholding
The weight of tomorrow
Shatters our crystal ball
How could I not look back
From the mess of it all
Brother
Are you proud of me?
Holding warships off the path
To victory
Brother
to Sister
Could you take me in again?
Like when you saved me
Can you hear me
From all those miles away?
—
[Laughter]
(Oh Jesus)
