I Am the Sun
04:33
|
|||
The details of my life are a series of tricks I played on myself.
I wonder what it's like to have everything just right.
I know everything about everything, but nothing gets done because I am the sun.
I know everything about everything, but nothing gets solved because I am the sun.
And she wonders what it's like to have everyone by her side.
I know everything about everything, but nothing gets done because I am the sun.
I know everything about everything, but nothing gets solved because I am the sun.

Build Me Up
04:08
|

Build me up while we're down.
Fill me up; it's no surprise.
We're dead and gone, but you ain't one of them.
Wash your hands and wash her eyes.
And I'll say wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up with your eyes.
With your eyes.
Find a girl. Dress up nice.
Find a world and call it your own.
But I'm not done because I ain't good enough,
to not think twice and not go home.
And I'll say wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up with your eyes.
With your eyes.
Build me up. Now don't say goodbye.
And don't stop loving her in this life.
We're dead and gone, but you ain't one of them.
Now wash your hands, and I'll wash her eyes.
And I'll say wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up with your eyes.
With your eyes.

Spring
03:32
|

Shake me free of dust. Rinse me clean of rust.
Let's see how your frame hangs now.
A picture perfect blend of our lives from now and then.
I hope this makes you proud.
Fastened to the wall. How long before I fall.
You'll feel it when I'm gone.
Sometimes it's hard to see all the air we breathe.
I know we don't have long.
We all learn in time to control our pride.
Strong will can survive without love on its side.
Blinded by own greed I left you alone in need,
or so you said.
Guarded and confused, you left me with little to choose.
Oh I left you for dead.
(I left you for dead. I left you for dead)
We all learn in time to control our pride.
Strong will can survive without love on its side.

Sort It Out
03:31
|
|||
This is the fighting and the giving and the taking out.
I am involved with you but others are inside me now.
I'll sort it out.
Your ears are closed and I am never thinking loud enough.
My heart, it's yours, but it has never fully opened up.
I'll sort it out.
My laces loosening, I'm starting not to trip and fall.
This is without a doubt a moment you'll forget about.
I'll sort it out.
This is the fighting and the giving and the taking out.
I am involved with you but others are inside me now.
Your ears are closed and I am never thinking loud enough.
My heart, it's yours, but it has never fully opened up.
My laces loosening, I'm starting not to slip and fall.
I am without a doubt a moment you'll forget about.
I'll sort it out.

If I Were You
03:55
|

This here's a golden mine, but it ain't no gold of mine.
Look here, the sun it shines, but that ain't no sun of mine.
Would you remember me?
If I wasn't anything.
Well I would remember me if I were you.
This war's had its time, but don't worry I will be fine.
Oh god, god is right. But that ain't no right of mine.
Would you remember me?
If I wasn't anything.
Well I would remember me if I were you.
Look here now god is right, but that ain't no right of mine.
Look here now god is right, but that ain't no right of mine.
Look here now, god, he's right, but that ain't no right of mine.
Look here now god is right, but he ain't no god of mine.
Would you remember me?
If I wasn't anything.
Well I would remember me if I were you.

Friends
04:42
|

This is the art of everything we ever do.
This could belong to everyone we ever knew.
You could be anyone. It's the same damn thing, just another array.
You could be anyone else.
Oh my god, it's happening.
I've lost count, and you're changing me.
All my friends are leaving.
Oh my god, it's happening.
You could be anyone. It's the same damn thing, just another array.
You could be anyone else.

Life in the Desert
02:28
|

Life in the desert ain't no life for me.
When my comes to living, it's all in her hands; this is it.
I awoke in a lawn. In my neighbor I saw war.
The fight was a mess.
It's the first time I'd fallen without a catch.
How long I lay the last blow?
Life in heaven - on earth, it's the same for me.
When my world comes to living, at the top of her lungs that this is it.
We awoke on a lawn. In my neighbors I saw art.
It's not the first time I'm in love with the idea, the right, that we all should be alive in the presence of true love.

House of Cards
02:18
|
|||
I don't see myself in here. It's like a thousand mimes, and nothing to fear.
Alone.
I walk this tightrope - it builds my heart,
empty from the house of cards toppling over.
Toppling over, I hate this place.

This Is the End
03:57
|
|||
This is the end, you know.
Tell everyone to go. It's just you and me alone.
I don't get around much anymore.
Because I seem to be lost in your eyes.
It doesn't seem to matter anymore.
Because you seem to be lost in my mind.
I don't get around much anymore.
Because I seem to be lost in your smile.
No it doesn't seem to matter anymore.
Because you seem to be lost in my mind.
This is all I know.
I've got to find my way out again.
This is all I have.
I've got to find my way out again.
I don't get around much anymore.
Because I seem to be stuck in my life
It doesn't seem to matter anymore.
Because I seem to be lost in my mind.
This is all I know.
I've got to find my way out again.
This is all I have.
I've got to find my way out again.
This is the end, you know.
Tell everyone to go. It's just you and me alone.

Love Is Not
04:04
|
|||
Love is not life.
Just remain as you were.
I know I said I'd always be with you,
But I don't know if I can follow through.
I know I said I'd always be with you,
But I don't know if I can.
I know you said our love, you know it's true.
But I don't know if I'm in love with you.
Love is not life.
Just remain as you were.
