NUMB
Took a car across the world to see
if I could make it
Something's in my brain that I can't shake,
don't want to fake it
Semblance of an innocence,
I can't seem to forsake it
Practicalities undone, I just can't take it
I want it to be true
Keep a'thinking about this trip that I could be taking
Someone's thinking what have I been doing lately
Was a time when I could open up all to you
But that was then and now I am all unglued
But there is no way back
Temptation was a trap
I'm making a change for you
Too bad it's what you need
What you want
You could have it all
Too bad it's what you need
What you want
You could have it all
If I could borrow some sugar
Help me the taste is so bitter
Took a lot of feeling cause I don't want to be pretending
Heart is running empty, carefull of this I'm sending
And all those opened doors ignored, walked past, to get to you
Salty memories pour out like glitter glue
But there is no way back
Temptation was a trap
I'm making a change for you
Too bad it's what you need
What you want
You could have it all
Too bad it's what you need
What you want
You could have it all
If I could borrow some sugar
Help me the taste is so bitter
Help me please cause I can't see past the tragedy
Help me see if this is who I want to be
Help me know if I can do what you do
I can do what you do
and I'll see see see you later
and I'll Cc see you later
But there is no way back
Temptation was a trap
I'm making a change for you
Too bad it's what you need
What you want
You could have it all
Too bad it's what you need
What you want
You could have it all
If I could borrow some sugar
Help me the taste is so bitter
Help me please cause I can't see what's in front of me
Help me see if this is who I want to be
Help me know if I can do what you do
I concede what what you do
and I'll see see see you later
and I'll Cc see you later
and I'll see, see
See you later

Don't Make Me

DON'T MAKE ME
Don't make me say it
When I'm falling down
Don't make me pray
when you're not around
Don't make me try
Cause I choose it more
Don't me make trade you
Don't lead me on
Tonight fires are burning
and I knew I had to be going
As I tried
Tried to find land to settle on
Take more, give more back, open the key to
sing it
But I knew I would keep this faith unaccounted
The decisions you make so you can crawl
back home
And everywhere I heard the sound of the alarm
Tonight fires are burning and I knew I had to
be going
As I tried
Tried to find land to settle on
Try for land
Try for land
My shoes are in the corner cause you're
vibing me
Well you spit out your tongue and we
come undone
We lose all meaning
Suspicious eyes
We don't even see them
With all the vials of dust and they say
Call you back in the morning
Tonight fires are burning and I knew I had to
be going
As I tried, tried to find land to settle on
Try for land
Try for land
Go along little girl
You don't know nothing about this world
You think you know the be all
But you're not afraid of me
I could show you baby
That it's a fool's journey your on
And if I gave you reason to believe
Now go run along go run along

Midnight
Well it was midnight
Out of a storybook
Still you had to get me home
That gleam, that perfect photograph
But I didn't know
What did you say to me
That I should just take your advice
And throw my arms around you
Do your scene and believe your lies
But it's a long way that you go
Long way that you go
To disguise yourself
Long way that you go
But it's easy to see
You believe me a fool
The intermission of the movie
Stars were milling all about
That dream of giving your autograph
The screams and shouts
What did you say to me
That I should just take your advice
And throw my arms around you
Do your scene and believe your lies
Cause it's a long way that you go
Long way that you go
To disguise yourself
Long way that you go
And it's easy to see
You believe me a fool
Now in the distance
I see it clearly
You were a thief in my home
That gleam, that perfect photograph
But now I know
Long way that you go
Long way that you go
To find yourself
Long way that you go
But in light of this affair I'll be letting you go
Long way to go
Long way that you go
To find yourself
Long way to go
But in light of this affair I'll be letting you go

Fie
Where are your mother's wise lies?
Where are the hopes that you have now?
What is that disguise?
Where are those old bones you bury well?
Life can be so complicated you need a comb
Your psychic won't pick up the phone
Dance to the ether sounds, our feet are spinning round
Fie fie fie fie
Cause at least I've found an amulet round
Fie fie fie
Why can't you see the sunlight
Waiting in your time of need
Oh I can't pretend the clouds have no end
It means I found it. It means I found it.
Oh in these mists of sound
Listen to what I've found
Fie fie fie fie
Cause at least we've found
Our hearts are spinning round
Fie fie fie
Why can't you see the sunlight
Waiting in your time of need
Oh I can't pretend the clouds have no end
It means I found it. It means I found it.
ohhh
Why can't you see the sunlight
Waiting in your time of need
Oh I can't pretend the clouds have no end
It means I found it. It means I found it.
Why can't you see the sunlight
Waiting in your time of need
Oh I can't pretend the clouds have no end
It means I found it. It means I found it.

CROWS
When the morn draws orange blue leathered skies
and the lightning sparkles in your eyes
And all their coal like feathers flutter so
they don't miss a beat
Do you sink into your next nightmare?
Or cover up so you can find hope
In the dark or in the daily clutter
Still you're going to be found
but can you deliver?
We can't pretend that we're not frightened
We can't pretend that we're not frightened
We can't pretend that we're not frightened
What you mean to me is a mystery
just go ahead and light that fire
where are we going?
Are we dreaming in colour?
Are we heading to town?
Am I just a bit actor playing the part
as you let me drown?
Drops of rain that go pitter patter
Bury all the bones
Bury all the bones
Ever wonder if it will matter?
To feel your heart with the distant thunder
Bury all the bones
I got my reasons to believe that you've been crying
you know something it's been a long time
All those wings flap to bewilder
you can see them all flying home
you can see them all flying home
We can't pretend that we're not frightened
We can't pretend that we're not frightened
We can't pretend that we're not frightened
What you mean to me is a mystery
just go ahead and light that fire
where are we going?
oooooh

Talk About Lies

TALK ABOUT LIES
I want to talk about lies
That I didn't know then
Situation is crazy
And I can't pretend
Cause I feel this shame
But who's to blame
And I don't know
And I feel this shame
But who's to blame
And I don't know
Cause I feel your thoughts and I must confess
I'm feeling lost with your regrets
The intuition that you listen to, just a little when you need
And the loneliness doesn't take a break
Just looks to us to seal our fate
In a paradise that's so long overdue
I want to talk about days
Well you know I came to
You're so crazy
And I am too
Cause I feel this shame
But who's to blame
And I don't know
Cause I feel this shame
But who's to blame
And I don't know
And I feel this shame
But who's to blame
And I don't know
Cause I feel your thoughts and I must confess
I'm feeling lost with your regrets
The intuition that you listen to, just a little when you need
And the loneliness doesn't take a break
Just looks to us to seal our fate
In a paradise that's so long overdue
I sat in fire till I was bone
He suddenly thinks a lesson ago
So with silence found
No sense in kidding me?
When will you hold me?
Cause I feel your thoughts and I must confess
I'm feeling lost with your regrets
The intuition that you listen to, just a little when you need
And the loneliness doesn't take a break
Just looks to us to seal our fate
In a paradise that's so long overdue

TRY
Darling I wonder where you've gone
I watered green the yellow lawn
What a picture, evokes a scene
A lemon dusted magazine
You can get it if you try
No one's going to hand it to you
You can get it if you try
No one's going to hand it to you
Darling we've scraped the edge of time
Swallowed it whole in our rhyme
Who will understand unless they've felt
The bittersweet beat, the heart melt.
You can get it if you try
No one's going to hand it to you
You can get it if you try
No one's going to hand it to you
You could fall down to your feet but
You gotta meant it
You gotta meant it
You gotta meant it
You gotta meant it
You could beg and you could plead but
You gotta show it
You gotta show it
You gotta show it
You gotta show it
And
Would you give me your heart please
Would you give me your heart please
Would you give me your heart please
Would you give me your heart please
Hey now
Hey now
Here now , here now, here now, here now, here now
Hey hey
Would you give me your heart please...
