6 am day after Christmas I throw some clothes on in The dark The smell of cold Car seat is freezing The world is sleeping and I am numb Up the stairs to her apartment She is balled up on the couch Her mom and dad went down To Charlotte They're not home to find us Out And we drive Now that I have found someone I'm feeling more alone Than I ever have before
CHORUS:
She's a brick and I'm drowning Slowly Off the coast and I'm headed Nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning Slowly
They call her name at 7:30 I pace around the parking lot Then I walk down to buy her Flowers And sell some gifts that I got Can't you see It's not me you're dying for Now she's feeling more alone Than she ever has before
Repeat Chorus
As weeks went by It showed that she was not fine They told me son it's time To tell the truth And she broke down and I broke Down 'cuz I was tired of lying Driving back to her apartment For the moment we're alone She's alone And I'm alone Now I know it
Repeat Chorus til end
Take a bow Pack on powder Wash 'em out with buzzing lights Pay an audience to care Impress me personality
Still and transfixed The electric sheep, Are dreaming of your face Enjoy you from the chemical Comfort of America
Come one Come all Into 1984 Yeah, three, two, one Lights, camera, transaction
Quick, your time is almost up Make all forget that they're the moth Edging in, towards the flame Burn into obscurity
Still and transfixed the electric sheep are dreaming up your fate And judge you from the card castle comfort of America
Come one Come all Into 1984 Yeah, three, two, one Lights, camera...yeah come one come all into 1984 Yeah, three, two one Lights, camera, transaction
Lights, camera, transaction
Come one Come all To 1984 Yeah, three, two, one Lights, camera, transaction
The foundation is canyoning Fault lines should be worn with pride I hate to say it You're so much more You're so much more Endearing with the sound turned off.
He’s got fasting black lungs Made of clove splintered shardes They’re the kind that will talk Through a weezing of coughs And I hear him every night In every pore And every time he just makes me warm Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Must I hide Cuz I’ll never never sleep alone Look at how they flock to him From an isle of open sores He knows that the taste is such Such to die for And I hear him every night On every street The scales that do slither Deliver me from.... Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Then I’ll hide cuz i’ll never never sleep alone Oh lord Said I’m bloodshot for sure Pale runs the ghost Swollen on the shore everynight in every pore The scales that do slither Deliver me from… Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Then I’ll hide Cuz I’ll never never sleep alone Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame Let Me Die Cuz I’ll never never sleep alone Lyrics > The Mars Volta Lyrics > The Mars Volta The Widow Lyrics
She's like the wind through my tree She rides the night next to me She leads me through moonlight Only to burn me with the sun She's taken my heart But she doesn't know what she's done
Feel her breath on my face Her body close to me Can't look in her eyes She's out of my league Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs She's like the wind
[SOLO]
I look in the mirror and all I see Is a young old man with only a dream Am I just fooling myself That she'll stop the pain Living without her I'd go insane
Feel her breath on my face Her body close to me Can't look in her eyes She's out of my league Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs She's like the wind
Feel your breath on my face Your body close to me Can't look in your eyes You're out of my league Just a fool to believe (Just a fool to believe) She's like the wind (Just a fool to believe) Just a fool to believe (She's like the wind) Just a fool to believe (Just a fool to believe) She's like the wind (Just a fool to believe) Just a fool to believe She's like the wind
(Just a fool...) (She's like the wind) (She's like the wind) (Just a fool...) (She's like the wind) (Just a fool...)
So long ago, I don't remember when That's when they say I lost my only friend Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listened through the cemetery trees
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn The long broken arm of human law Now it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face So I wondered how she hung around this place
Chorus: Hey, come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me & Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight
She said it's cold It feels like Independence Day And I can't break away from this parade But there's got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed And I seen the sun up ahead At the county line bridge Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead We'll run until she's out of breath She ran until there's nothin' left She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
(chorus)
Well this place is old It feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes This place is always such a mess Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams I think her death it must be killin' me
(chorus)
There's no time for us There's no place for us What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever....?
There's no chance for us It's all decided for us This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever? When love must die
But touch my tears with your lips Touch my world with your fingertips And we can have forever And we can love forever Forever is our today Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever? Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
OMG I LOOVE IT!!!
Your empty walls... Your empty walls... Pretentious attention Dismissive aprehension Don't waste your time, on coffins today When we decline, from the confines of our mind Don't waste your time, on coffins today
Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication
I want you To be Left behind those empty walls Told you To see From behind those empty walls
Those empty walls When we decline, from the confines of our mind Don't waste your time, on coffins today
Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication
I want you To be Left behind those empty walls Told you To see From behind those empty walls Want you to be Left behind those empty walls I told you To see From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls From behind those empty walls The walls From behind those empty walls
I loved you, yes Though they be For you killed my family
Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning? Desolate and full of yearning Dying of anticipation Choking from intoxication
I want you To be Left behind those empty walls Told you To see From behind those empty walls Want you to be, left behind those empty walls Told you To see From behind those empty walls From behind those empty walls From behind those empty walls From behind those empty walls Those walls... Those walls...
heh remember these guys? I LOVE THIS SONG :D
nothing's so loud as hearing when we lie the truth is not kind and you've said neither am i but the air outside so soft is saying everything everything
all i want is to feel this way to be this close, to feel the same all i want is to feel this way the evening speaks, i feel it say...
nothing's so cold as closing the heart when all we need is to free the soul but we wouldn't be that brave i know and the air outside so soft, confessing everything everything
and it won't matter now whatever happens to me though the air speaks of all we'll never be it won't trouble me
and it feels so close let it take me in let it hold me so i can feel it say...
heheheh here's a golden oldie for ya :D
There is freedom within, there is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road While you're travelling with me
Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof In the paper today tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us Don't ever let them win |
