Love Me Like New
03:34

If I laugh half as much as I do,
If I was twice as cool,
If I was indifferent to you,
Would you love me like new?
If tomorrow I'm not so warm,
If tomorrow I do not answer my phone,
If tomorrow I act just like you,
Would you love me like new?
I had hope for this one,
Saved all my love for this one,
I was fine til this one came
If I built a great big wall,
If I say things to make you feel small,
If I don't give the world to you,
Would you love me like new?
I had hope for this one,
Saved all my love for this one,
I was fine til this one came
Things run out,
Like dollar bills and ammunition
And things wear off like my novelty
I had hope for this one,
Saved all my love for this one,
I was fine til this one came
Til you came, well I was fine, fine, fine
Things run out,
Like dollar bills and ammunition
And things wear off like my novelty
If I acted just like you,
Would you love me like new?

Parentheses

I'm not a puzzle piece,
I'm a parenthesis,
I'm not meant to complete,
But you can find a use for me,
I know my place,
Don't rub it in my face,
I'm a pacifier,
You are quite the whiner, my friend
It's not my problem,
Where you go,
So prove it to me,
It's an awful thing to know,
You hold my freedom,
With all your might,
Yeah you're trying to hitch a ride
I'm not a puzzle piece,
I'm a parenthesis,
I'm not meant to complete,
But you can find a use for me,
I know my place,
Don't rub it in my face,
I'm a pacifier,
You are quite the whiner, my friend
And now I notice,
When you're gone,
So prove it to me,
I was right all along,
You are my sentence,
You are the crime,
I'm an escape from your mundane life
You left behind your fantasy,
To come to my reality
I'm not a puzzle piece,
I'm a parenthesis,
I'm not meant to complete,
But you can find a use for me,
I know my place,
Don't rub it in my face,
I'm a pacifier,
You are quite the whiner, my friend
Yeah I'm a pacifier,
You are such a liar, my friend

A couple of years,
And a few bridges burned,
I was taught a lesson,
I didn't wanna learn
To watch out for the kind,
Always chasing imaginary lights,
The kind who never seem to just feel right
Tell me what do you do with a wasted diamond ring?
She knows she will never be the most important thing,
She'll let him go, to discover, he's leaving one dream for another,
He doesn't know just what he's looking for
Everybody's got a card up their sleeve,
And one foot out the door,
Some just have an anchor,
That won't let em sail from the shore,
And we all want more
Now what do you get,
With your expectations met?
You know you're gonna find,
Another conquest,
Would it be any better,
If I promised to love you forever,
If I die before I don't love you anymore?
Everybody's got a card up their sleeve,
And one foot out the door,
Some just have an anchor,
That won't let em sail from the shore,
And we all want more
They all got a card up their sleeve,
And one foot out the door,
Some just have an anger,
That won't let them leave the shore,
Oh but I was born for nothing more than love,
It's the only thing that makes me wish,
I never was, oh but I want more, yes,
I want more

Pray

I don't want this density,
I don't want these thoughts,
What good do they do me?
I don't know where they came from, anyway
I just want some leniency,
Why am I so hard on me?
I don't know what it's all for, anyway
I don't want this scarcity,
Do I really miss anything?
I don't know where it's all gone, anyway
I want to be where there is only one thing to be,
I want to go where there is nowhere but here to go,
Where silence feels like music,
And my name cannot be called
I don't want this ecstasy,
I don't want this heart,
What good does it do me?
I don't know where you came from, anyway
I don't know where you came from, anyway
I want to be where there is only one thing to be,
I want to go where there is nowhere but here to go,
Where silence feels like music,
And my name cannot be called
I want to be where there is only one thing to be,
I want to go where there is only one place to go,
Where silence feels like music,
And my name cannot be called,
Silence feels like music,
And my name cannot be called,
Silence feels like music,
Where silence feels like music

Kill the Hope
03:30
|

You saw a future in a flash,
Now that concern becomes a trap,
And what it does is justify,
The misery you live inside
The good, the bad that you perceive,
Obtaining things externally,
You were told and you believed,
You must sow before you reap
Kill the hope til there's nothing left,
You are nothing but the love that gives you breath,
Kill the hope, kill your scheme,
This is nothing but a dream
These limitations, black and white,
Keep you turning in your night,
You'll be lost, you'll be blind,
Until you turn on the light,
Turn on the light
Kill the hope til there's nothing left,
You are nothing but the love that gives you breath,
Kill the hope, kill your scheme,
This is nothing but a dream
It's your mountain, no one sees it but you,
But you,
It's your mountain, no one sees it,
No one sees it, but you
Kill the hope til there's nothing left,
You are nothing but the love that gives you breath,
Kill the hope, kill your scheme,
This is nothing but a dream
Kill the hope til there's nothing left,
You are nothing but the love that gives you breath,
The love that gives you breath,
The love that you gives you, gives you,
Is you
Follow your bliss to your demise,
Free yourself, it's all a lie

The Moon
02:56

I am falsely identified, hypnotized and polarized
unsatisfied, yet pacified
now I look you in the eye
Project what you want on me
reflect what you need to see
refusing to be where you are
now woo me with your scar
My poetry is alchemy
and does not belong to me
Forgive my youth for trapping and freeing me
forgive the sun for feeding and blinding me
forgive the city and the rolling hills
forgive the majestic sea
forgive the moon for her gravity
I am ready for judgement day
go on and say what you've got to say
it doesn't matter, I know the truth
I will not bow to you
I've spun around in circles for far too long
now my cage is open, you can't unhear a song
you can't unhear it
Forgive my youth for trapping and freeing me
forgive the sun for feeding and blinding me
forgive the city and the rolling hills
forgive the majestic sea
forgive the moon...
Can you forgive me for making the moon?
Can you forgive the world you see?
I've got a god-like longing with a human reach

New You
04:03

I'd like to see you on a winning streak,
I'd like to see you get your way,
I'd like to hear you say that you deserve it,
I'd like to see you every day
I'd like to see you on a plane to Europe,
I'd like to see you in a cab,
I'd like to see you with your glasses on,
I've never seen you like that
Lighter, brighter, shiny and new,
a completely different version of you
I'd like to see you in your own place,
I'd like to see you flyin' high,
I love to watch you when you smile from the inside
I wanna see you every night
Lighter, brighter, shiny and new,
a completely different version of you
And though I love you baby just the way you are,
You know I have to love you from afar
I'd like to see you on a mountain,
I'd like to see you run for mayor,
and even if I crossed the country,
you know I'd see you everywhere
Lighter, brighter, shiny and new,
a completely different version of you
And though I love you baby just the way you are,
You know I have to love you from afar

Ruins
03:36

You're trying to outrun mortality,
You've forgotten the angel that you are
You think your lover won't
You think your lover won't
You think your lover won't
Come to you
There are creatures deep in the sea,
Who if you told them would never believe,
Birds fly in a sky up above,
Living a life you can't conceive of
They're gonna find our ruins,
They're gonna settle in,
Go back where we started,
And do it all again
You're trying to outlast eternity,
You've forgotten the animal you are
You think desire won't
You think desire won't
You think desire won't
Come for you
You are an actor caught in a scene,
You'll never know that you've got a disease,
All your chaos led you astray,
You had to have it your way
They're gonna find our ruins,
They're gonna settle in,
Go back where we started,
And do it all again
They're gonna find our ruins,
Our prisons and our beds,
Oh the idiot robots,
Will find a place to lay their heads
To lay their heads
We become the devils who made us
We are the devils, the devils who made us,
The devils who made us all

Veils
03:39
|

I've been stranded for so long,
That I built my home in hell,
I've been trying to gather things,
To decorate my cell
I thought that you'd fill the void,
Although I withheld,
When I said you betrayed me,
I know that I betrayed myself
As much as I love you,
I don't know what love is,
You're so much more than I'll ever see
As much as you hurt me,
I don't know what hurt is,
It's so much deeper than I care to see
I speak til I'm aware,
These words are built to fail,
These symbols will not lift the veil
I'm ready and waiting,
My time only seems to crawl,
Your eyes and ears and hands,
They still won't take my call
When will love be pure,
and not a means to learn?
Somehow in forgetting you,
My memory returns
As much as I love you,
I don't know what love is,
You're so much more than I'll ever see
As much as you hurt me,
I don't know what hurt is,
It's so much deeper than I care to see
I speak til I'm aware,
These words are built to fail,
These symbols will not lift the veil
As much as you love me,
I don't know what love is
You're so much more than I'll ever see
As much as I hurt you,
I don't know what hurt is,
It's so much deeper than I care to see
I speak til I'm aware,
These words are built to fail,
this time I swear I'll lift the veil
It'll be like nothing ever happened

Special Love
04:19
|
|||
|
There's a first time for everything,
Nothing new under the sun,
Looks like I finally got me,
A special love
An instant confidant in a room,
Full of constant strangers,
I pour my heart out,
It doesn't seem dangerous
If being whole is alone,
I'll be your better half
I feel so included in our exclusion of,
Others from our special love,
Our special love
It's evolutionary every time it's been done,
What's gonna show you more,
Than a special love?
A tiny little box to show,
Just what we're made of,
It's not that I'm brave,
It's I'm not scared enough
I feel so included in our exclusion of,
Others from our special love,
Our special love,
Our special love
I can speak too soon,
As long as I believe it,
Love can be blind as long as I,
Never ever see it
I feel so included in our exclusion of,
Others from our special love,
I feel so included in our exclusion of,
Others from our special love,
Our special love
I feel so included in our exclusion of,
Others from our special love,
Our special love,
Our special love
