      Lyrics

      You know I’m not dead

      You know I’m, you know I’m not dead

      You know I’m not dead

      Now you know where I’ve been

      As you sleep, torn I am

      Weighted down patiently

      Born of love

      You know I’m, you know I’m not dead

      I’m just living in my head

      Forever waiting on the ways of your desire

      You always find a way

      And through it all, into us all you move

      Forgotten touch

      Forbidden thought

      We can never have enough

      You know I’m not dead

      You know I’m, you know I’m not dead

      You know I’m not dead

      Found below, the creatures scream

      Stranglehold, a god machine

      Begin to tear us out

      What is hell

      You know I’m, you know I’m not dead

      I’m just the tears inside your head

      Forever waiting on the ways of your desire

      You always find a way

      And through it all, into us all you move

      Forgotten touch

      Forbidden thought

      We can never have enough

      You know I’m not dead

      We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze

      Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway

      But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every cog

      The fickle fascination of an everlasting god

      You know I’m not dead

      I’m just living in my head

      Forever waiting

      Forever waiting a cruel death

      You know I’m not dead

      I’m just living for myself

      Forever waiting

      You know I’m not dead

      You know I’m not dead

      You know I’m not dead

      You know I’m not dead

      Lyrics

      Rain falls on everyone

      The same old rain

      And I’m just trying to walk with you

      Between the raindrops

      I send my echo out

      To get your love without

      Obscured reflections of

      My love

      Rain falls on everyone

      The same old rain

      And I’m just trying to walk with you

      Between the raindrops

      I’ll save a prayer for you

      So lost and longing too

      Be dragged through dirty streets

      Wrapped up in clean white sheets

      And if you think they’ll watch you now

      You should know they won’t

      Rain falls on everyone

      The same old rain

      And I’m just trying to walk with you

      Between the raindrops

      And I’m just trying to walk with you

      Between the raindrops

      I send my echo out

      To get your love without

      Obscure reflections of

      Of my secret love

      Force down the words about

      To get your love without

      Obscured reflections of my love

      And I’m just trying to talk to you

      Between the raindrops

      Rain falls on everyone

      The same old rain

      And I’m just trying to walk with you

      Between the raindrops

      Rain falls on everyone

      The same old rain

      And I’m just trying to walk with you

      Between the raindrops

      And I’m just trying to walk with you

      Between the raindrops

      Lyrics

      You and me

      Meant to be

      Immutable

      Impossible

      It’s destiny

      Pure lunacy

      Incalculable

      Inseparable

      And for the last time

      You’re everything that I want and asked for

      You’re all that I dream

      Who wouldn’t be the one you love

      Who wouldn’t stand inside your love

      Protected and the lover of

      A pure soul

      And beautiful

      You

      Don’t understand

      Don’t feel me now

      I will breath

      For the both of us

      Travel the world

      Traverse the skies

      Your home is here

      Within my heart

      And for the first time

      I feel as though I am reborn in my mind

      Recast as child and mystic sage

      Who wouldn’t be the one you love

      Who wouldn’t stand inside your love

      For the first time

      I’m telling how much I need and bleed for

      Your every move and waking sound in my time

      I’ll wrap my wrap my wire around your heart

      And your mind

      You’re mine forever now

      Who wouldn’t be the one you love and live for

      Who wouldn’t stand inside your love and die for

      Who wouldn’t be the one you love

      Lyrics

      Radio, play my favorite song
      Radio, radio
      Radio, I’m alone
      Radio
      Radio, please don’t go
      Radio
      I peer through curtains on empty streets
      Behind a wall of caller I.d.
      No one’s out there
      To hear if I care
      About the troubles in the air
      As I of the mourning now come
      Pick up where my thoughts left off
      Cause I’m home to die on my own
      As my radio plays my favorite song
      Radio, radio
      Radio, don’t you know
      Radio, radio
      Radio, I’m alone
      I’ve blown the dust off my guitars
      In the attic with the stars
      I read your letters to feel better
      My tears upon the fading ink
      Cause I of the mourning now come
      Pick up where my thoughts left off
      Cause I’m home to die on my own
      As my radio plays my favorite song
      Radio, radio
      Radio, I’m alone
      Radio, radio
      Radio, please don’t go
      I sit in the dark light
      To wait for ghost night
      To bring the past alive
      To make a toast to life
      Cause I have survived
      What is it you want
      What is it you want to change
      What is it you want
      What is it you want to change
      What is it you want to change
      Radio, radio, radio, radio
      Radio, radio, radio, radio
      Radio, radio, radio, radio
      What is it you want
      What is it you want to change
      What is it you want
      What is it you want to change
      What is it you want to change

      Lyrics

      Give me tears

      Give me love

      Let me rest

      Lord above

      Send the bored

      Your restless

      The feedback-scarred

      Devotionless

      You’re all a part of me now

      And if I fall

      You’re all a part of me now

      In the sun

      You’re all a part of me now

      You’re all a part of me now

      Will our love ever be enough

      Just in time to prove

      Will our words ever be enough

      Just in time to lose

      Give me sight

      And barren breast

      Pure snow

      And happiness

      Give me time

      Give me peace

      And I will prove

      My release

      You’re all a part of me now

      And if I fall

      You’re all a part of me now

      Trapped in the sun

      You’re all a part of me now

      You’re all a part of me now

      Will our love ever be enough

      Just in time to prove

      Will our time ever be enough

      Will our love ever be enough

      You’re all a part of me now

      And if I fall

      You’re all a part of me now

      In the sun

      You’re all a part of me now

      You’re all a part of me now

      You’re all a part of me now

      And if I fall

      You’re all a part of me now

      Trapped in the sun

      You’re all a part of me now

      Will our love ever be enough

      Will our love ever be enough

      Will our love ever be enough

      Just in time to prove

      Pop tart

      What’s our mission

      Do we know

      But never listen

      For too long

      They held me under

      But I hear

      It’s almost over

      In detroit

      On a memphis train

      Like you said

      It’s down in the heat and the summer rain of

      The automatic gauze of your memories

      Down in the sleep at the airplane races

      Try to hold on

      To this heart

      A little bit longer

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Aloud

      Try to hold on

      For this heart’s

      A little bit colder

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Paperback scrawl your hidden poem

      Written around the dried out flowers

      Here we are still trading places

      To try to hold on

      Pop tart

      Can you envision

      A free world

      Of clear division

      For too long

      They held us under

      But I know

      We’re getting over

      In detroit

      With the nashville tears

      Like you said

      It’s down in the heat with the broken numbers

      Down in the gaze of solemnity

      Down in the way you held together

      To try to hold on

      To this heart

      A little bit closer

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Aloud

      Try to hold on

      For this heart’s

      A little bit older

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Aloud

      And we are still alive

      Try to hold on

      And we have survived

      Try to hold on

      And no one should deny

      We try to hold on

      To the pulse of a feedback current

      Into the flow of the cryptic movement

      Slapback kills the ancient remnants

      That try to hold on

      Try to hold on

      To this heart

      Alive

      Try to hold on

      To this love

      Aloud

      Try to hold on

      And we are still alive

      Try to hold on

      And we have survived

      Try to hold on

      Pop tart

      You never listen

      Skinned knees

      Try to hold on

      Stop start

      What’s our mission

      Skinned knees

      Try to hold on

      Lyrics

      If I were alive
      If I were real
      Would you survive
      What would you feel
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      As sentimental as our broken dreams
      Let me die for rock and roll
      Let me die to save your soul
      Let me die, let me die rock and roll
      Let the world forgive the past
      Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
      Let me go, let me go rock and roll
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      We’re the metal, in their metal machines
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      If I were dead
      Would my records sell
      Could you even tell
      Is it just as well
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      It’s elemental, to all the rust it brings
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Let me die for rock and roll
      Let me die and save my soul
      Let me go, let me go rock and roll
      Let the world forgive the past
      Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
      Let me go, let me die rock and roll
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      We’re the metal, in their droning schemes
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Will I survive
      Is it up to me
      Could you understand
      That it’s not yours to keep
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
      Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

      Lyrics

      This time I need to know

      I really must be told

      If it’s over

      It’s up to you, you know

      The things you really want to hold

      Are in pieces

      Crashing down

      Crashing down again

      Crashing down

      Crashing down my friends

      I’ve got to move it on

      I’ve got to sing my song

      While I still can

      Dispatch the last alarms

      Hand out the last few charms

      There’s no surprises

      Only love

      Only love can win

      Crashing down

      Crashing down again

      Only love, yeah

      Only love will win

      Crashing down

      Crashing down again

      This time I need to know

      I really must be told

      That it’s over

      I’ve lived my life alone

      My every step fortold

      To never linger

      And yet it haunts me so

      What are we letting go

      Our spell is broken

      Crashing down

      Crashing down my friends

      Crashing down

      Crashing down again

      Only love, yeah

      Only love will be enough, yeah

      Only love will win

      For every chemical

      You trade a piece of your soul

      With no return

      And who you think you know

      Doesn’t know you at all

      Their drain is needless

      Someday we’ll wave hello

      And wish we’d never waved goodbye

      To this romance

      We’ll drink up every line

      And shoot up every word

      Till it’s no more

      Crashing down

      Crashing down my friends

      Only love

      Only love can win

      So cry these tears

      We’ll cry as all

      We’ve held so long

      To fall apart

      As the curtain falls

      We bid you all goodnight

      Lyrics

      Everywhere you are

      Is everywhere you’ve been

      Just lost to the beat

      Punching through your skin

      You don’t know what to do

      But still you wanna crawl

      All through the broken glass

      That’s everywhere you are

      Your love must always be true

      Your love must always be you

      Everywhere you are

      Anywhere you go

      Even if you’re starved

      It matters what you do

      But if even if you’ve gone too far

      You can follow you

      Everywhere you are

      And in your mind

      You were alone

      All this time

      With everything you are

      And every smile you wore

      Still locked in your heart

      Everywhere you are

      Everywhere you are

      Every single chard

      Everywhere you are

      You’re never too far

      Cause anywhere you go

      Even to the stars

      All you have to do

      Is play the part of who you are

      The rest is up to you

      Phase unwound

      By yourself

      Atom bomb

      On the shelf, unsung

      Pause of light

      Pulse of life

      New face dawns

      Everywhere you are

      And everywhere you go

      Even if you’re down

      Even if you’re low

      It’s in the thought of you

      It’s in the eyes of all

      Astride a storried past

      That’s everywhere you are

      Your love must always be true

      Your love must always be you

      Everywhere you are

      Anywhere you go

      Even if you’re scarred

      It’s all a part of you

      But ever should you put it down

      You can never lose me

      Everywhere you are

      Everywhere you are

      Everywhere you are

      Everywhere you are

      Everywhere you are

      Everywhere you are

      Everywhere you are

      Everywhere you are

      Everywhere you are

      Everywhere you are

      Everywhere you are

      Everywhere you are

      Lyrics

      To the center of the earth
      Or anywhere god decides
      Full of fever pulling forth
      We hear our call as all
      And to the center of the earth
      As if written in
      And dna is reaching out
      To your frequency
      I want to live
      And don’t want to die
      I want to live
      I want to try
      All in prayer
      Prayer in all
      All are scared
      Scared of all
      Black rooms are calling
      To men in leather coats
      White labs are cooking
      Up the silver ghost
      The glass migrates under
      Her translucent skin
      And all the spiders wonder
      What we’ve got us in
      All is you
      You are all
      All with you
      You in all
      I want to live
      I don’t want to die
      I want to live
      I want to try
      So, it’s all very obtuse
      Because it’s all like, like, I don’t know
      So, like, I started thinking
      That everything I operate on
      Is based on what I believe god was telling me to do
      God could be my intuition or whatever
      But I always assume
      I always assume that the voice I hear is the voice of god
      Then I started thinking
      What if I’m insane
      So I’m operating on the premise
      That I’m hearing the voice of god
      Or what I perceive to be god speaking to me
      Or through me
      But maybe I’m completely in…
      So all my…
      Demagoguery in my life about me thinking that my life has importance
      My, my..
      Thinking that my life has importance
      My, my, my thought of it
      And the fact that I believe that I’m following my intuition
      Which in and of itself may be completely false
      So then I started freaking out thinking…
      Of itself may be completely false
      And again this creature that believes that he’s acting upon
      Heavenly intuition, but meanwhile he’s totally rampant
      And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
      Of all the negativity against…
      And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
      Of all the negativity against…
      And I started thinking maybe this is the cause
      Of all the negativity against…
      So beats the final coda
      Of our vinyl storm
      One more cherry cola
      To lift up her dead arms
      A dream of soft focus sunsets
      Filters through the din
      We are losing contact
      As she dials it in
      She can hear glass calling
      Or is it someone that looks like him
      She eyes TV reflection
      And nods a knowing look
      She says it doesn’t matter
      She’d never liked her looks
      I have seen a thousand fractures
      I have seen everything
      Cause knowing is its own answer
      Love something in a book
      There’s not much left to ponder
      Not much left to cook
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders
      As they crawled up inside her
      As she counted the spiders, oh

      Lyrics

      There you are

      As you always were

      In bathing light

      And naked blur

      You’re a part of me

      Eternal wone

      My grand design

      And setting sun

      If you wait, I will wait

      Taste, I will taste

      If you love, I will love

      Run, I will run

      To my last breath

      Last night I turned around and thought I saw myself turning

      Inside the strangest dream of life unloved and cities burning

      Awake in my arms

      You cry unharmed

      Our age of the hours

      When they still devour all

      So take it all

      I doubt if we

      Will know it’s gone

      Cause we’ve been here

      Since time began

      Begged god awake

      And make these plans

      Wound opens

      Reveal this broken man

      And soon there’s notions

      Of blood on his hands

      If you wait, I will wait

      Taste, I will taste

      If you love, I will love

      Run, I will run

      To my last breath

      Last night I turned around, I thought I saw myself turning

      Last night I turned around and thought I watched the world ending

      Inside the crushing I felt a pang, the tide was turning

      Destroyed in the wake

      The jealous ingrates

      Will tear this world down

      To spite god above

      With his own love

      With his own love

      If you wait

      If you wait

      If you wait, I will wait

      Taste, I will taste

      If you love, I will love

      Run, I will run

      To my last breath

      Lyrics

      This is the song I’ve been singing my whole life

      I’ve been waiting like a knife

      To cut open your heart

      And bleed my soul to you

      I did it all for you

      You and you and you and you

      This is the sound I’ve been making my whole life

      I’ve been waiting for this night

      To clear up all the talk

      Although I’m selfish to a fault

      Is it selfish, it’s you I want

      You, I did it all for you

      This love will stand as long as you

      There’s really no excuse

      I did it all for you

      These are the tears I’ve been crying my whole life

      Like an ocean of desire

      I’m reaching through the noise

      Across the dusk of time

      Within the lilting lights

      I am singing out to you

      Lyrics

      Taking over, we’re taking over

      Throw the weight up off your shoulders, now

      That we can show our love

      It’s almost over, it’s almost over

      No more war and no more soldiers

      To stand against his love

      Away with all the troubles that you’ve made

      Away with waiting for another day

      Away

      Look ma, the sun is shining on me

      Impatient, in love, and aching to be

      Could you believe in heaven

      If heaven was all you had

      Taking over, we’re taking over

      Throw away your four leafed clovers

      And stand beside this love

      Away with everything you’ve grown to hate

      Away with anything that holds you safe

      Away

      And every light I’ve found

      Is every light that’s shining down on me

      Every light I’ve found

      Is every light that’s shining down on me

      Every light I’ve found

      Is every light that’s shining down on me

      I’m never alone

      Look ma, the sun is shining on me

      Taking my time to do as I please

      Could you believe in heaven

      If heaven was all you had

      The sun beaming, radiating

      All the love we are creating

      We are creating

      And every light I’ve found

      Is every light that’s shining down on me

      Every light I’ve found

      Is every light that’s shining down on me

      Every light I’ve found

      Is every light that’s shining down on me

      Every light I’ve found

      Is every light that’s shining down on me

      I’m never alone

      Lyrics

      Unleash the armageddon
      So all the children go to heaven
      I sit by quiet still
      With their pictures on my eyes
      You’ll draw the guns you’re given
      Write down the words as written
      And never disturb the presence
      Of resurrection crutch
      And it’s about time
      It’s about drawing near
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Descend the darkened stairways
      Make hate with plastic playmates
      And fire out remaining traces
      Of your self esteem
      Mainline the deepest secrets
      Lick clean the dirty fingers
      I am a stranger to you
      As you are to yourself
      And it’s about time
      It’s about fear
      Blue skies bring tears
      Don’t you want me (don’t want you)
      As I awake the city sight
      We’ll watch the seasons die
      Blue skies bring tears
      Take me inside your body
      Blue skies bring tears
      Cover me with your soul
      Blue skies bring tears
      To the darkest recess
      Blue skies bring tears
      Is where I wish to go
      Blue skies bring tears
      You are the sweetest flower
      Blue skies bring tears
      That I have ever devoured
      Blue skies bring tears
      I ask for nothing given
      Blue skies bring tears
      For nothing in return
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears
      Blue skies bring tears

      Lyrics

      We dismiss
      The backroads
      And ride these streets
      Unafraid
      Resigned to
      Scraping paint
      From our bones
      Unashamed
      No more the eye upon you
      No more the simple man
      Desolation yes
      Hesitation no
      Desolation yes
      Hesitation no
      As you might have guessed
      All is never shown
      Desolation yes
      Hesitation no
      And in my prayers
      I dream alone
      A silent speech
      To deaf ear
      If you want love
      You must be love
      But if you bleed love
      You will die love
      No more the lie upon you
      Cast in stone and autumn shade
      Desolation yes
      Hesitation no
      Desolation yes
      Hesitation no
      As you might have sensed
      We won’t make it home
      Desolation yes
      Hesitation no
      Before the rites of spring
      Come to mean all things
      A little taste of what may come
      A mere glimpse of what has gone
      Cause for the moment we are free
      We seek to bind our release
      Too young to die, too rich to care
      Too fucked to swear that I was there
      Desolation yes
      Hesitation no
      Desolation yes
      Hesitation no
      As you might have guessed
      We won’t make it home
      Desolation yes
      Hesitation no
