How Long
02:55
|
|||
Was it such a sin
That you can’t make right again
How long does it go on
Before the guilt is gone
You’re all alone in this
Cell of selfishness
You still feel how it felt
To watch it all go to hell
You’re the only one
Alone in what you’ve done
Oh, how long
Before the guilt is gone
You’re stuck in what you built
Behind bricks of guilt
And she is waiting still
Back where your flowers wilt
You’re the only one
Alone in what you’ve done
Oh, how long
Before the guilt is gone
You’re the only one
Alone in what you’ve done
Oh, how long
Before the guilt is gone

We’re in a lonely stage of aging
If we don’t have someone by now
For too long we kept them waiting
Now we’re the odd ones in the crowd
You’ll find a person who is perfect for yourself
Someone who’s not like everybody else
Unless you’re mistaken, they’re already taken, or love gives up on you
In a quiet part of town
They’re all home with each other
Out here we listen through the noise
But we don’t hear one another
You’ll find a perfect person for yourself
Someone who’s not like everybody else
Unless you’re mistaken, they’re already taken, or love gives up on you
Unless you’re mistaken, already taken, and love gives up on you
Love gives up on you

For What It Is
02:57
|
|||
For what it is, for what it is
They see the starlit sky like a crystal ball
From the center of it all, you’re at the center of it all
They’ll say you’re heaven sent, every chance is meant
As sacred as your sign, as essential as your scent
Strangers playing cards tell you how you are
What you want to hear all throughout the year
You need no other reason to know that I’ll be true
All that I believe in is you
I see the starlit sky for what it is
A beautiful abyss that someday we’re going to miss
From the palm of my hand reads an aging man
With no mystical escape from his inevitable fate
Strangers playing cards tell you how you are
What you want to hear all throughout the year
You need no other reason to know that I’ll be true
All that I believe in is you
You need no other reason to know that I’ll be true
All that I believe in
You’re all that I believe in
All that I believe in is you

Marionette
04:17
|

Marionette, my marionette
Does what I want
I do what it does
Marionette, my marionette
Hanging on a string
My ghost’s machine
May you forget, my sad silhouette
I let go to fall into you
I start to feel like a figment of imagination
Barely attached to anything
It kinda seems like I’m living someone else’s dream
What’s good for them is good for me
Marionette, my marionette
We’ll be so happy out of body
I start to feel like a figment of imagination
Barely attached to anything
It kinda seems like I’m living someone else’s dream
What’s good for them is good for me
Marionette, my marionette
Hanging on a string
My ghost’s machine
Hanging on a string
Hanging on a string

By the time that I made it I’d gone too far
Ask the wrong question, forget who you are
I would’ve given up if only I knew
How far it would take me away from you
By the time that I made it I still wasn’t sure
Had too many chances to know who you were
I would’ve given up if I could see through
This unrealistic picture of you
I would’ve given up
By the time that I made it I’d gone too far
Ask the wrong question, forget who you are
I would’ve given up if only I knew
How far it would take me away from you
I would’ve given up if I could see through
This unrealistic picture of you

You do your own thing
You do your own thing
When your heart swings
You’re following
You know that it’s true
You are what you do
There’s no one like you
No one like you
You do your own thing
You do your own thing
When your heart swings
You keep following
You’d rather be yourself than anyone else
If it wasn’t true how could anyone love you
You’re better at being yourself than anyone else
If it wasn’t true how could I love you
You know who you are
You know who you are
You know who you are
You know who you are
You know that it’s true
There’s no one like you
You know that it’s true
There nobody like you
You know who you are
You do your own thing
You know who you are
You do your own thing
You know who you are
When your heart swings
You know who you are
You’re following

Track Fire Delay
03:18
|
|||
Cold train tracks winding through
stacks of shacks and who knows who
Broken glass in garbage bags
What do they do with all this trash
No one knows where it goes
It’s out of our hair so we don’t care
They take it away on trash day
Here comes the train
Screeching stops from block to block
Down the skyline, over rooftops
Stacks of shacks, packs of rats
Rattle along on rickety slats
Over the bridge and underground
On the train we’re safe and sound
Down to a stop you can’t get off
What’s with the wait
Track fire delay
Track fire delay
Track fire delay
We’re in our own way
Track fire delay
Breaking backs to stay on track
The snow turns black as sidewalks crack
Chasing tails, leaving trails
Of trash in the way
Track fire delay
Track fire delay
We’re in our own way
Track fire delay
If you see something say something (and now we’re running late)
If you see something say something (and now we’re running late)
If you see something say something (and now we’re running late)
If you see something say something (and now we’re running late)

What You See Through Is See Through
What You See Through Is See Through
Take off your glasses to see the scratches
You got to get back to look at it
It’s so close to you it’s out of view
Too close to you to see it too
Reaching out for someone else
To show you what you can’t see
Yourself
To try and free your mind of misery
You got to get back to see things differently
What You See Through Is See Through
What You See Through Is See Through
Take off your glasses to see the scratches
You got to get back to look at it
It’s so close to you it’s out of view
Too close to you to see it too
Reaching out for someone else
To show you what you can’t see
Yourself
So let some light through
You block the view behind you
You’re in your own way
A shadow play
What You See Through Is See Through
What You See Through Is See Through
Take off your glasses to see the scratches
You got to get back to look at it

The Moment
02:24
|
|||
From day to day if feels the same
Standing in the way of change
Everywhere you’ve ever been
You’re only where you are now
Today, Today, it’s always today
Here in the shade of grey
Everyone you’ve ever been
Has left you with who you are now
The moment, the moment is already gone.
The moment, the moment is already gone.
(we’re not what we were)
The moment, the moment is already gone.
(we’re not what we were)
The moment, the moment.
Is going, going gone.
Going, going gone
Going, going gone
Going, going gone
Going, going gone
Going, going gone
Going, going gone
Going, going gone

See It Through
02:59
|
|||
Why would you want to have what you’ve had before
I’d like to think I’m still onto the new
Now see it through
My point of view
This body is all you feel and you’re closed off inside of it
An empty stare into space, care to compare us
Now see it through
This point of view
I see it through
The same state of affairs
An empty stare into space
Closed off to everyone, it’s all you have
The same fate of despair
A lonely stare into space
All these are reflections of what you want
We’ve seen it through
This point of view
Now onto the new
Why would you want to have what you’ve had before
I’d like to think I’m still onto the new

In One Place at a Time
02:45
|
|||
On an airplane taking flight
Separating you and I
Looking down one everyone
Slowly melting into one
You can only be in one place at a time
Sailing through the sky
Seen with the naked eye
We’re all too small to see
And difficult to please
Back in a city that doesn’t need me
I’m free, free as the breeze
Over the trees and iced-over streets
You can only be in one place at a time
In one same frame of mind
Where we are, now where we were
It’s hard to tell just what came first
You can only be in one place at a time
You can only be in one place at a time
In one place at a time
You can only be in one place at a time
In one place at a time
You can only be in one place at a time
Sailing through the sky
Separating you and I
