Lyrics


1. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER

I can't breathe
Swallowing water and then
A single breath then under again
Cuts blood razor-rock and silent scream
But nothing is what it seems
And I'm not nearly as tired as you think I am

I know you're pulling me under
But I'm back again
Now there's a storm in my eye
You don't scare me anymore
Come now come spirit of thunder
Hold me again
Now there's a storm in my eye

Hey river
Don't you dare speak my name
Dark river
Because it's pulling me down
The thing is
You could never really pronounce my name right
There's a storm in my eye

I know you're pulling me under
But I'm back again
Now there's a storm in my eye
You don't scare me anymore
Come now come spirit of thunder
Hold me again
Now there's a storm in my eye

Don't you dare speak my name
I'm not drowning today


2. MY HEART ESCAPES

The smell of water on the sidewalk
And the breath of rain in my lungs
To meet you after this long time
Tells me I'm not that young
Not a word spoken from your lips or mine
You're like a dream
I thought I left behind

I shouldn't sleep
I should wake up

I never meant to give it away
My heart escapes and I try
To catch it when it runs to you
So here I stand in silence
With bloodstains on my raincoat
My heart escapes
My heart escapes and runs to you

You're still the same underneath those grey clothes I gave you
And your photo remains in my wallet
You are planting seeds of color in my ground
Do I dare to stay or do I walk away?
I wish I was safe and sound

I shouldn't sleep
I should wake up

I never meant to give it away
My heart escapes and I try
To catch it when it runs to you
So here I stand in silence
With bloodstains on my raincoat
My heart escapes
Catch it
Catch it when it runs to you
There is still rain in my heart
And the blood is see-through like water
But I still wear your ring on my finger
And you're still wearing mine

I never meant to give you away
My heart escapes and
I should have tried
To catch it and run to you
Here I stand in silence
With bloodstains on my raincoat
My heart escapes
My heart escapes and runs to you

Catch me when I run to you


3. MONSTER ON THE RADIO

We hold our flag high with blisters on our hands
We scream our lungs out
Words we don't understand
Hey radio did you play my song?
Did you say my name?
I couldn't hear I might be wrong
I could be wrong

And still we're turning it up

I'll give everything I have and more
To the monster on the radio
A star shines brighter than before
When you're a monster on the radio
And I scream and I fight
And they chew and they spit me out
I'll give everything I have and more
To be a monster on the radio

Frequency unclear
Do I hear myself through the static and noise?
My heart is still beating
But I can't hear it over the sound of my own voice
This is my own voice

And still I'm turning it up

I'll give everything I have and more
To the monster on the radio
A star shines brighter than before
When you're a monster on the radio
And I scream and I fight
and they chew and they spit me out
I'll give everything I have and more
To be a monster on the radio

Frequency unclear
Do I hear myself through the static and noise?

Hey radio did you play my song?
Hey radio
Hey radio did you play my song?
Hey radio

I'll give everything I have and more
To the monster on the radio
A star shines brighter than before
When you're a monster on the radio
And I scream and I fight
And they chew and they spit me out
I'll give everything I have and more
To be a monster on the radio


4. IT'S ALL I HAVE

Wake up the sun goes down
This day was shorter
Another day goes by
Another day passes by

Wake up and run for the crown
Not now but soon
We'll have a daughter
Another day goes by
Another day passes by

I know it's all I have
I keep my promises to you in this
Pocket full of holes
And I know
I know it's all I have
But you look beautiful
In that bracelet of joy
You shine when you put on
That necklace of peace

Wake up my heavy heart
Did I just swallow a stone?
This day would not go by
Another day on standby
I woke up out of breath
Stuck in a dead zone
Another day to search the sky
Another day with nothing but clouds

I know it's all I have
I keep my promises to you in this
Pocket full of holes
Yes I know
I know it's all I have
But you look beautiful
In that bracelet of joy
You shine when you put on
That necklace of peace

I know I can't make you wear it
But I sure will try
I know I can't make you wear it
But I sure will try

I know it's all I have
I keep my promises to you in this
Pocket full of holes
And I know
I know it's all I have
But I can't make you wear it
But you look beautiful
In that bracelet of joy
You shine when you put on
That necklace of peace


5. BLOODSTAINED HOLLYWOOD ENDING

Unpack that suitcase it's not time to leave
Unpack that broken heart
There's a window throw it out
It's a good way to start

You're half-asleep I'm wide awake
You're frozen is the ice about to break
And I'm done tiptoeing around you

I cross my heart and hope to die
You gave your all and so did I
Close your eyes and see
This is a bloodstained Hollywood ending

This is like a run to the airport movie
Can I catch you before you leave?
This is the end of the line
The choice is yours - Recent or receive

You're half-asleep I'm wide awake
You're frozen is the ice about to break
I'm done tiptoeing around you

I cross my heart and hope to die
You gave your all and so did I
Close your eyes and try
This is a bloodstained Hollywood ending


6. OUR LOVE SAVES US

Don't you worry it's fine
Your hand's not letting go of mine
If worse comes to worse
I'll hold tight even if it hurts

And now the ground is shaking
It's trying to tear us down
But we won't be forsaken
Because we know what we've found

Our love saves us
The river runs deep but our spirits grow tall
Our love saves us now
We jump from stone to stone
But you know we won't fall

Do you remember that promise?
Remember when it was new
How deep into you I fell
I believed in us then and I still do
But now the ground is shaking
And we know what we found

Our love saves us
The river runs deep but our spirits grow tall
Our love saves us now
We jump from stone to stone but you know we won't fall
Save us
Save us now
Save us
Save us now

With shivering hearts we wait
We watch the sky
We hesitate
With shivering hearts we wait
I'm still holding on

Our love saves us
The river runs deep but our spirits grow tall
Our love saves us now
We jump from stone to stone but you know we won't fall
Save us
Save us now
Save us
Save us now

Save us
Save us now


7. BRING OUT YOUR DEAD

Heavy like 1000 pounds
What if I told you now
To carry the smell of death is
Harder than it sounds
Heavy like 1000 pounds
I bite my lips and look around
You said:
My dear, it smells like corpse in here

Bring out
Bring out your dead
Bring out
Bring out your dead
Bring out
Bring out your dead
Bring out
Bring out your dead

Pull out the speakers now
What comes out I will allow
I didn't come here to die
Dare to see what's inside
It feels like suicide
My favorite corpse I like to hide

Who am I without
My skeleton friend?
Without the rules I bend
Can these broken bones mend?
Scared if I let it all out
You will know what I'm about
And the void, what do I fill it with
Once that corpse is gone

Bring out, bring out, bring out, bring out
Bring out
Bring out your dead
Bring out
Bring out your dead
Bring out
Bring out your dead
Bring out
Bring out what's dead
Bring out your dead

Pull out the speakers now
What comes out I will allow
I didn't come here to die
Dare to see what's inside
It feels like suicide
My favorite corpse I like to hide

When I let this corpse out
He will bite your soul
It will make you bleed
When I let this corpse go
Will you do the same,
Will you let him go?
Let go

Pull out the speakers now
What comes out I will allow
I didn't come here to die
Dare to see what's inside
It feels like suicide
My favorite corpse I like to hide

When I let this corpse out
He will bite your soul
It will make you bleed
When I let this corpse go
Look me in the eye and let me
Know I'm not dead


8. WITHERING

Are you sure I'm what you came for
Are we playing still?
You already know my secret hideout
This is hide-and-seek with no point whatsoever
This is hide-and-seek with no point whatsoever

Hey I'm still glorious
But I'm withering like roses in the fall

But it's you alone I wait for
When I run to the hideout
You're the inception of beauty
I lay in tar and roll around in feathers
Hide and seek with no point whatsoever

Hey, I'm still glorious
But I'm withering like roses in the fall

And we break our silence
With a toast that shatters glass
And with a shard you stab my heart out
And it's grey and out of shape
I feel its growing back inside as you hold my hand
I said move, you stand right in my shame
But you stand your ground

Say that I'm still glorious
Say that I'm not withering like roses

Hey, I'm still glorious
While I'm withering like roses in the fall


9. COLD

You put a little black flower
In my left shirt-pocket
I still feel it now as something heavy
But it's losing leaves somehow
We wait for nothing now
We were never really close
Don't pretend there's not ice
In your blood
So please hush we're at the edge
One of us needs to jump or push

And so your eyes starts running
But your face looks cold

Because it's just cold when
It's not right
And it's a heartache
That you never could satisfy
It's just cold with frozen kisses
And a breath of ice
It's just cold when it's not right
Is this a goodbye?

Now you're holding my hand until
Your knuckles are turning white
On my skin there's frost and yes I
Feel sorry but for time lost
Spent in your cold embrace
I didn't chose this but it's the time
And it's the place
We're at the edge of the cliff
One of us needs to jump or push

Your eyes starts running
But your face looks old
And it's just cold when it's not right
And it's a heartache
That you never could satisfy
It's just cold with frozen kisses and
A breath of ice
It's just cold when it's not right
Is this a goodbye?

And it's just cold when it's not right
And it's a heartache
That you never could satisfy

This could be a good
A real good
A goodbye


10. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WIND

There must be something in the wind
That wants me to die
To leave all this behind
To let go of these chains
And let them fall
It's like I've always known you and
Still don't know who you are

And I can hear the thunder roaring
From a distance
And it's me on the shoreline
Slowly but surely
You're moving closer
And you're pushing the water
Yea you're pushing the water
Please come wash over me

Waves arrive like thunder
I'm not scared to end up under
Wash away my heartache
That's creeping in
I'm not scared to loose my skin

Oh, the sky is electric tonight
My savior from myself
Is on the move
My long lost love
My redeemer
Come and remind me

The curse is broken
Heavy burdens are lifted off
And my soul is light as a feather
In your storm

Waves arrive like thunder
I'm not scared to end up under
Wash away my heartache that's
Creeping in
I'm not scared to loose my skin

I'm waiting for you
I always have
I'm waiting for you
And I always have

I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
