Lyrics

1. IT'S FAR BETTER TO LEARN

You'd better learn,
That this will not blow over, and over.
High above they're taking over you.
And you should know,
I will not let you go!
Let you go!

What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
There's something greater there,
What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
It's not gonna change you.

We walk along but never turn
to see what we have done,
(What we have done.)
We choose our moves so carefully for you
(Carefully for you.)
I will not let you go,
let you go.

What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
There's something greater there,
What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
It's not gonna change you.

What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
It's not gonna change you.

Why believe in nothing,
Why believe in nothing at all?
Why believe in nothing,
Why believe in nothing at all?

What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
There's something greater there,
What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
It's not gonna change you.

What is my body worth?
What is my body worth?


2. SLEEPERS

What happened to us all?
Have we slept through it?
Taking hits off the surface
It's too hard to swallow when
Their judgements are concentrated
On everything they know.

Was it all enough? (No fair)
Or did it wake you up from your sleeping?

[Chorus]
I've overheard it once
This has gone on before
It's too one in the same
When you're accounted for
We seem so far away from
These things we used to know
We seem so far away from
everything we are

Everyone that moves around me
They're saying nothing
That makes the fight a blur
Say we're something that no one wanted to hear
They know that everything is wrong

Was it all enough? (No fair)
Or did it wake you up from your sleeping?

[Chorus]
I've overheard it once
This has gone on before
It's too one in the same
When you're accounted for
We seem so far away from
These things we used to know
We seem so far away from
everything we are

All we are is golden
This won't mean a thing
All we are is golden
This won't mean a thing


3. IT'S SO SIMPLE

I never thought you would lose yourself
The hardest part was falling down again
(And getting up again)
I'm a fool to watch you walk away
Are you bothered by the choice you made?

When we fall to the ground
Slowly we're safe and sound

It's so simple to be afraid
It's so simple when you know who you are
It's so simple to be afraid
It's so simple when you know who you are

I caught you lying to yourself
Now everything is spinning 'round and around
(Then standing still again)
Well I'm a fool to watch but never say
Are you bothered by the choice you made?

When we fall to the ground
Slowly we're safe and sound

It's so simple to be afraid
It's so simple when you know who you are
It's so simple to be afraid
It's so simple when you know who you are

But maybe we were wrong..
When will you know
That you can feel belonged
I think you fell in deeper than you imagined

It's so simple to be afraid
(It's so simple)
It's so simple when you know who you are

It's so simple to be afraid
(It's so simple)
It's so simple when you know who you are


4. VOICES

I miss the part, when we were moving forward now
On our way down
But maybe someday, I'll be something more than love
Just know I'll never tell

And when you're on your way down
[Through the clouds]
And you're waiting for your body's re-entry again

We speak in different voices
When fighting with the ones we've loved
We speak in different voices
Why can't we say what we're thinking of

I'm missing parts, now that you've told me everything
On our way down
And I was blessed and I've forgotten how to love
You said you'd never tell

And when you're on your way down
And you're waiting for your body's re-entry again

We speak in different voices
When fighting with the ones we've loved
We speak in different voices
Why can't we say what we're thinking of

Not even I will tell,

We speak in different voices
When fighting with the ones we've loved
We speak in different voices
We say these things to know they're real

We speak in different voices
When fighting with the ones we've loved
We speak in different voices
Why can't we say what we're thinking of

We speak in different voices
when fighting with the one's we've loved
We speak in different voices
We speak in different voices
To know why you're real

Real...
I'll never tell


5. FINDING HOME

If only I had truthfully seen
That night we'll never re-live
But you and I could not go and walk away
Just close your eyes
You'll never see me crashing down
I see where we had come in doubt
I'd be lonely if you weren't so proud

I have seen so many loving faces
They turn back and leave with looks of regret
The road goes and I am finding home in it

But you and I should not play those games
The world is coming to an end
It's just the way I see my face
And I can never believe
(Now I can see it)
Now I see where things are turning 'round
And I'd be lonely if you weren't so proud

I have seen so many loving faces
They turn back and leave with looks of regret
The road goes and I am finding home in it
The road goes and I am finding home in it

I saw him fly
He's never looked this way
I saw in his eyes
He's never coming down

I have seen so many loving faces
They turn back and leave with looks of regret
The road goes and I am finding home in it
The road goes and I am finding home in it
The road goes and I am finding home in it
(And now you're finally home)
And I am finding home
(And now we're finally home)
And I am finding home in it


6. FOLLOW AND FEEL

Don't let them know
you're watching the situation crumble.
[situation crumble]
These things, they take time...
and they know, yes, they know they should be better now.

She's watching me awkwardly from a distance.
Should I care?
Is there something more I should have known?
I know that I wonder.

They took his crown.
There's nothing more left of him now.
[but he will be okay]
I appreciate, now that they choose to ignore...
I can't set her free to go without a payment plan.

She's watching me awkwardly from a distance.
Should I care?
Is there something more I should have known?
I know that I wonder

Will she go... or follow?
Follow, please follow me home.
[Me home...]
Follow, please follow me home.
This won't end like last time...
The things you swore, they never made me feel anymore

She's watching me awkwardly from a distance.
Should I care?
Is there something more I should have known?
I don't need to wonder.


7. COME CLOSE

Remind yourself
That they are the ones who will hold you still
My thoughts exploding in thousands of pieces (Thousands of pieces)
It looks so beautiful when, I know it's not love cause

I've been trying (As we are waiting)
I've been trying to let you know
So come close, this is who we are
Come on, you can show yourself
So come close, this is who we are
Come on, you can be yourself again

When you notice yourself
as something more than just a reflection
you'll see (you'll see)
it's not me (it's not me)
I guess I'm trying to say,
I know it's not love, but...

I've been trying (As we are waiting)
I've been trying to let you know
So come close, this is who we are
Come on, you can show yourself
So come close, this is who we are
Come on, you can be yourself again

Now you've found love, it's shining through
Come close, this is who we are
Come on, you can show yourself
So come close, this is who we are
Come on, you can be yourself again

Come close, and I will carry you,
Come close, in my arms.


8. I NEVER WANTED TO

We've had one chance to take back
But over and over again
(I'll clean your wounds tonight)
So we can rewind it all 'til I come inside
I'll tear in two and never lie to you
('Cause you wouldn't take me home)
Your eyes are yet to be clear now
('Cause you wouldn't take me home)
You were right and I wasn't listening
(I never told you what you were missing)

I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from

This was the only way we knew how to make everything just OK
(I'll make it up tonight)
The sun was two steps too close with his waking eyes
We'll make believe that everything's all right
('Cause you wouldn't take me home)
Your eyes are yet to be clear now
('Cause you wouldn't take me home)
You were right and I wasn't listening
(I never told you what you were missing)

I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear
We are the only ones we are running from

I want to break it off
We should stop 'cause there's nothing going on
(On)

I never wanted to hear all the things that you told me
I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)
We are the only ones we are running from
I never wanted to hear
(I never wanted to)


9. COLLAPSE

So, tell me is it right?
To feel like we're only getting smaller
And if we were to find the feeling
But I'm only treading water
We've made a few mistakes, it's not worth it to say
(we all fall for the sound)

'Cause we are the only ones, we will get up
And we are aware, 'cause we've been through it
And we are the only ones, we will carry each other on our own

Believe the sound when the truth will send you falling
You see the lights but your mind isn't open
Now I hear you calling
We've made a few mistakes, it's not worth it to say
(we all fall for the sound)

'Cause we are the only ones, we will get up
And we are aware, 'cause we've been through it
And we are the only ones, we will carry each other on our own

Open your eyes and let all the light in
Open your eyes up a little more
I'm sure it will soon come out

'Cause we are the only ones, we will get up
And we are aware, 'cause we've been through it
And we are the only ones, we will carry each other on our own

Open your eyes and let all the light in
Open your eyes up a little more
I'm sure it will soon come out


10. YOU'RE NOT ALONE

It's just like him
To wander off in the evergreen park
Slowly searching
For any sign of the ones he used to love
He says he's got nothing left to live for
(He says he's got nothing left)
And this time I think you'll know

You're not alone
There's more to this I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

She's just like him
Spoiled rotten, confused by the lies shes been fed
She's searching for no one (but herself)
Her eyes turn to green and she seems to be happy that she is hurt
And this time I think you'll know

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

You're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out

(There is more to know)

We're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

(So tell them)

You're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

You're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

You're not alone
You're not, you're not alone


11. BURY YOUR HEAD

Bury your head,
Bury your head,

I was feeling fine, you'll be coming clean tonight
And I'll be falling down with you once again
Call me your valentine, call me once tonight
And I haven't said it's okay

The things you said, I'm rehearsing them,
The things you said, I'm rehearsing them,

They went back on us
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up)
I could know when to come on to it
It's the thought that emerges
(Take back couldn't step it up)
I could never love the ion vein*

Bury your head, and the child smashed you down
And the psalms will soon recall me again
Fall down below
I'll sleep tonight when you're okay
And I haven't said it's okay

The things you said, I'm rehearsing them,
The things you said, I'm rehearsing them,

They went back on us
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up)
I could know when to come on to it
It's the thought that emerges
(Take back couldn't step it up)
I could never love the ion vein*

They have been the ones who've seen enough
This is what you call love?

They stole my lies,
Sold right and all,
They wandered around and round my mouth,
They stole my lie,
Sold right and all,
(Stole it all, Stole it all),
They have been the ones who've seen enough

They went back on us
(Closed eyes rolled back couldn't step it up)
I could know when to come on to it
It's the thought that emerges
(Take back couldn't step it up)
I could never love the ion vein*
You'll be coming clean tonight


12. SOME SENS OF SECURITY

So what have we done?
With X and O's to mark our way home (home)
It seems as though we've forgotten
The way we move
Can we save ourselves?
From the one we're becoming

Please monsieur, remember
Don't tell me how to get somewhere better

Why write with confidence?
Why try to save them?
We try to not forget
It's so much better there
Did you think you could make it on your own?
It was so much better there

So what have you done
To make yourself a little bit happier
I can feel the vibrations
When you said I'd feel nothing
I'm giving up, so give it up

Please monsieur, remember
Don't tell me how to get somewhere better

Why write with confidence?
Why try to save them?
We try to not forget
It's so much better there
Did you think you could make it on your own?
It was so much better there

((This won't mean anything..))
((This won't mean anything...))

This won't mean anything
This won't mean anything tonight
This won't mean anything
This won't mean anything tonight

Why write with confidence?
Why try to save them?
We try to not forget
It's so much better there
Did you think you could make it on your own?
It was so much better

((This won't mean anything))
((This won't mean anything tonight...))
