LYRICS
It is all lying beneath
the snow.
the life goes by, underneath the snow, where we bury the lies
that we tell our wives.and the vultures the pick at the broken
ice, they whisper to us now,
they say: i know what you've done.
so don't you run me out, i'm shaking
this to the ground.
and they are all gone now.
maria is dead. maria is dead.
oh god they're in love, with misery.
oh i am alone with all of me.
and on come the ropes, for i am
a radio song,
tied at the hopes, the fate is drawn.
underground and broken down and we're holding onto it all.
maria is dead.
oh god they're in love with misery.
oh i am alone with all of me.
I will save you my son.
there are places that i will never forget.
there are moments that i will never regret.
there is a red house on a hill, that i will never call my own.
there are a billion people that i will never, never know.
and i will carry on, yes i will
carry on.
i will save you my son.
i will save you from everyone.
there is a history that i will
never, never know, no no.
there are nightmares, that i will never dream.
there is a white horse on a hill, that i will never own.
there are a billion, a billion places that i will never go.
and i will carry on. yes i will
carry on.
i will save you my son.
i will save you from everyone.
I did fall {from grace}
please don't please don't you go from here.
for i cannot, cannot watch you run.
and i, i know this place where hearts go.
the ones that fall apart in our hands.
and they gave us what we know now
is right,
they gave us what we ought to hold onto.
and i did fall from grace.
and i did stumble in place.
please don't bend your back at
the waist.
and i will not forget, to forgive myself this place.
we will go on, we will have sleep and spiders.
we will know all of ourselves from here on out.
they gave us what we know now is
right.
and they gave us what we ought to hold onto.
and i did, fall from grace.
and i did stumble in place.
A Boat With Wings.
i believe. i believe in boats with wings that can fly, that can
fly over the sea.
i believe in boats with feathers. for people just like me, so
that i can fly wherever i please.
sometimes you don't know who you are anymore.
i believe in white, white, white, white, white, snow that can
hide the earth from here.
i believe. i believe in anything that can save us from this terrifying
disrepair.
sometimes you don't know who you are anymore.
Leave Us A Song
leave us a song that we can sing when you are gone.
we are a lonely bunch of kids without a home.
and we will, we will sing for you.
and we will breathe, we will breathe for you tonight.
and i will live to see the dawn
that lies in wait
and i will shed tears, i will face this new life.
leave us your heart so we can feel
what you want to feel.
we are older now, we are still children, but we are growing quicker
than the sun.
oh we will love, we will love for you, we will love forever
we will go on, and we will live, and we will die, we will die
for you tonight.
and i will live to see the dawn
that lies in wait.
and i will shed tears for this, this new place.
and i will live to see the dawn of this.
i will live, i will live, i will live......
Light; Trees.
i emerge. i step. i am from winter, and i am not afraid.
i still know, i still remember, that you are the light, glancing
off the trees.
i watch all of the horses standing. standing forever, forever
on a hill.
i watch the rain, i watch the sky, holding us up, and i think
we will make it.
we can change.
so the time is long, the time is
short, and these days act out their lives.
between the pines, and the silence, i will watch you move and
i will watch you fall.
i will be a boat, i will be a plane, and i will be a rocketship
up to the stars.
and i will be a man, with courage that goes on and on and on,
and i will stay, forevermore.
we can change.
The New Life.
get up and get your things now honey.
it's time for us to go.
this place will kill us both
and our ghosts will never know.
there is no safer place,
than here with me tonight.
i will save you from whatever
nightmares may haunt your life.
and so we go on to new life.
if we could pick your heart up,
i would heal your scars tonight.
this place will drown us both,
and it will black out our light.
so come on and run with me,
come on and fly with me,
come on and live with me,
and we will forever be in love.
and we go on to new life.
Roads For Only Sons.
we embark on roads for only sons.
the highway spills and falls out of time.
and we close our eyes.
we make a new home, by the neverending sea.
we believe in repairing our fucked up histories.
and i see shadows creeping up on our backs.
but we push them away, we know that they are stones from our past.
and finally, life goes on. i can
finally see the new dawn.
we watch the land twist arms around
our bodies.
and the hills arrive and we are plunging stones.
we can smell the ocean, and feel its watery air.
we will be an oak on a neverending hill.
and finally, life goes on. i can
see the new dawn.
The Red Wooden House.
we take the long walk,
to keep our demons down.
we are lonely and hollow here,
and we look for animals in the forest.
we want deer and birds and springtime.
we want the ghosts of winter to die.
and i said, "honey i'm here for good."
and i said, "honey, we've found our new home."
the night is going down, so we
chase our secrets around. i will love you strong, i will love
you long.
we take the long road,
to keep our tears down.
there are mountains and oceans here.
we look for signs in the hills and passing towns.
we want summer to finally come.
we want a red, wooden, house on a hill.
and i said, "honey this life is really good."
and i said, "honey, welcome home."
the night is going down, so we
chase our secrets around. i will love you strong, i will love
you long.
They touch Their Hands
To The Wall.
we touch our hands to the walls.
we see our reflection in the glass.
we look older than we want to,
but we are happy.
i made a mistake, but i'm cleaning
it up.
we read poetry in the dark.
we spill ourselves on the floor.
we taste the hope that is ours,
and we are happy.
i made a mistake, but i'm cleaning
it up.
Flowers We Will Grow.
so we've killed off the ghost,
and i will chase them all out of here.
i believe, i believe in love.
i believe, i believe in both of us.
and someone knocked our teeth out,
but we will recover our words someday.
there are flowers we will grow,
there are people we will thank for this.
time is somehow a loaded gun.
it sounds so simple just to love someone.
but we have a way of messing up the water here,
we want our lives to remain like windows in the sun.
i believe, i believe, i believe, i believe in love.
i believe, i believe, i believe, i believe in us.
someone knocked our teeth out,
but we will recover our words someday.
there are flowers we will grow,
and there are people we will thank for this.
On The Wings Of An Albatross.
we are champions of bravery.
we exhalt ourselves, and run through the wild, wild streets.
we will soar on the wings of an albatross,
and our children, they will live forever.
i will live as big as an ocean,
and i will never ever die.
we are heroes of sleepless nights,
and we celebrate the dawm of a new day.
we will fly over hills and mountains,
and our children, they will know it was all okay.
i will live as big as an ocean,
and i will never ever die. |
