(Instrumental)


2. HILLS LIKE WHITE ELEPHANTS

These are the veins of the way that we love
These are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us
Things aren't the way that we-

Love as if you didn't know at all
Never once, never knew, painted glass with no love
(Wish I could answer you)
So uptight and desperate for attention
We're all lost and begging to be found
With every word you say, you lead everyone on

These are the veins of the way that we love
These are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us

You've stopped before the sayer says a word

I need to take it out on you (really take it out, really give it all)
As hard as I can and let you, let you have it all
Do I make you?

Don't start, don't start, shaking again
She can make the salt taste like sugar on her hands but
If love is a way out, then please let me in
Don't start, darling
Don't you turn my nightmares into dreams again

With every word you say, you lead everyone on

These are the veins of the way that we love
These are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us

We all did what we had to do
We all did what we had to do
We all did what we had to do
We all did what we, what we had to do
What we had to do

These are the veins of the way that we love
These are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us
(We only did what we had to do)


3. CLUSH

Oh as we share this simple night
Do you understand that I
I could never tell a lie

So we all know by now
That you are your favorite thing
Oh when I hear you coming now

So please allow me to introduce myself
I'm the one that you talk about
Can't imagine if you held me any tighter
It would be just as easy to leave me and let me go

It's the way that you are
And you can't breathe without me

Take a few steps back and just watch, the sun sets around me everyday
With our heads in the clouds, its hard to see whats going on the floor
I know that every time I sing, you will want to sing along
Lets try our hardest to do, what has already been done

Bunch of boys that have it easy
Oh they live in a dream
But its not that simple no, sometimes we feel just like machines

(can't breathe without me)

Take a few steps back and just watch, the sun sets around me everyday
With our heads in the clouds, its hard to see what's going on the floor
I know that every time I sing, you will want to sing along
Lets try our hardest to do, what has already been done

They're trying to wrap their filthy fingers
Around every inch of her body.
I'm gonna make you want to tell a lie,
You're gonna make you want to tell! a! lie!

Stare, all you want
Cause you know that were on top
This is all that we know
This is everything you want
If you can't stand on your own
Then speak up let us know
Tones will change,
Curtains will drop
Who knew the top would be so fucking ugly?

Stare, all you want
Cause you know that were on top
This is all I've ever known
This is everything you want
If you can't stand on your own
Then speak up, let us know
Tones will change and curtains will drop
Who knew the top would be so fucking ugly?

I know that every time I sing, you will want to sing along
Lets try our hardest to do, what has already been done (x2)


4. EMPTY SIGHS AND WINE

I finally found her but I haven't got a piece of her yet
And I wanna tell you by the way (I think I've ruined your body)
She said "I love you, but you're difficult"
Words I've heard so many times before but those words don't mean a thing
(never meant a thing before you)

I think I found her but I haven't found a way to her yet
I wanna tell you by the way (I think I've ruined your body)
I want to tell her that I love her, but I just don't know
Oh this is terrible

You sounded sober when you told me to come over
I could tell it in the sound of your voice
(I know I better be careful)

She said I never want to let you go
She told me so

Now let me tell you how these steps go
Step 1, tell me what have I done
Step 2, you know you better believe
Step 3, you'll never be like me so
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-no no

I think I found her but I haven't found a way to her yet
I wanna tell you by the way (I think I've ruined your body)
I want to tell her that I love her, but I just don't know
Oh this is terrible

And like the rows in the pastures church
Full of empty sighs and wine, and though the children have lost their way

I think I found her but I'll never let her in
So I guess we'll never know

I think I found her but I haven't found a way to her yet
I wanna tell you by the way (I think I've ruined your body)
I want to tell her that I love her but I just don't know
Oh this is terrible (x3)

And I want to tell her that I love her, but I just don't know
Oh this is terrible

6. VIOLA LION

I am a million pieces of the sky
I found a way to be alone
I'm gonna wait until you want me
Until you finally decide to go home

Diamond, diamond are you all in the sky?
I can't believe all of these beautiful lies
As they surround me I will take a photograph of the sky
Bury me, bury me
Come on, bury me alone in the light

I am, I'm gonna run this like a lion
Another way to be alone
And I will wait until you find me
Until you finally decide to go home

(Don't go home! Don't go home!)

Diamond, diamond are you all in the sky?
I can't believe all of these beautiful lies
As they surround me I will take a photograph of the sky
Bury me, bury me
Come on, bury me alone in the light

I've never had a reason to take me away, yeah
I want it to be over
But I sit here and wait (x2)

I saw her smiling from the top of the world
I saw her sleeping on, amazing I know
If you lower, lower, lower me down
You lower me clearly, so come and lower me

Diamonds, diamonds are you all in the sky?
I can't believe all of these beautiful lies
As they surround me I will take a photograph of the sky
Bury me, bury me

Diamond, diamond are you all in the sky?
I can't believe all of these beautiful lies
As they surround me I will take a photograph of the sky
Bury me, bury me
Bury me, bury me (x2)


7. CEMETERY WEATHER

I never knew what I would do if anybody tried to take you away
And your beautiful boy won't wait for you, because he's busy with the stars and the fame

And I don't know why I breathe
It's taking too long for me
Can we speed up the process please?
But show me the one I need

I need somebody (somebody)
Somebody crazy enough to tell me "I will love you 'til we.." (I will love you until..)
'Til we are buried
Our bodies (our bodies)
Our bodies buried close together
Cemetery weather
In the cemetery weather

I never knew what I would do if anybody tried to speak your name
I would tear down their house, and I'd burn my way around the brightest memory of your face
'Cause I would do anything (anything, anything)
This love is a selfish thing (don't care what you think)
It'll feed off the wounds that bleed
Then tear you away from me

I need somebody (somebody)
Somebody crazy enough to tell me "I will love you 'til we.."
I will love you 'til we are buried
Our bodies (our bodies)
Our bodies buried close together
Cemetery weather
In the cemetery weather

Violent delight
We'll live as if we died
Violent delight
Live as if we died
My violent delight
Live as if we died
My violent delight
Live as if we died
My violent delight, violent delight

So come on, come on I won't leave without you

If we die, then we die
And I'll sing this buried with you

Violent delight
Live as if we died
My violent delight, violent delight

I need somebody (somebody)
Somebody crazy enough to tell me "I will love you 'til we.."
I will love you 'til we are buried
Our bodies (our bodies)
Our bodies buried close together
Cemetery weather
In the cemetery weather

I never knew what I would if anybody tried to take you away
