The Present And The Sea

a string of lights
hangs through long, long nights
you cash me in but it's worth nothing
it's not worth your time
tell me you know me, honey, right here, by the swimming pool
you always go on about the sea when you've had a few
you drive me fucking crazy
but you amaze me, amaze me, amaze me
on the road, the cars pass one by one
in your eyes, I see a light there turning on
in the moment, the wolf, the moon all come to shore
when that man died, I'd never seen him here before
tell me you know me, honey,
right here by the swimming pool
you always go on about the sea when you've had a few
you drive me fucking crazy
but you amaze me, amaze me, amaze me
everything is fine
slips through my mind it's so fine
tell me you know me, honey,
right here by the swimming pool
you always go on about the sea when you've had a few
you drive me fucking crazy
but you amaze me, amaze me, amaze me

Jupiter

you gotta take what they give you
you gotta take what you have by the hand
you gotta tear down the walls in your house
to make room for what they send
you got a heart the size of Jupiter
it's moving blood the colour of Mars
you got your eyes on the sky - how bright you are!
I'm gonna meet you among the stars
friend, I'll meet you at the edge of town
I hope you'd call me if it all fell down
I know I'm not the first person you'd call
but you know, I'd do anything that you needed me to now
you got a heart the size of Jupiter
it's moving blood the colour of Mars
you got your eyes on the sky - how bright you are!
I'm gonna meet you among the stars
if God wants to peel back this flesh
he'll find that I miss being your friend
I wish you missed being mine
hey God, man, don't you cry!
why you crying all the time?
it's a sad, sad story but we'll be all right, alright?
alright? alright?

My ♡ Is A ⌂

we planted these seeds and it's for everyone I know
and I come to reap everything you grow
and I will lock all my doors
and I will shut all my blinds
but I will open one window
so you can come inside
if you want, if you want
my heart is a house
and it's too far for you to come down
I go where I need and you are everywhere I go
have I grown to be weak?
you're like nothing I've ever known
when we end things, it's not funny
but all I can do is laugh
when we leave here, I bet money
we'll find a way to get back
if you want, if you want
my heart is a house
and it's too far for you to come down
you can come inside if you're out there
I'll turn on the lights if you're scared
my heart is a house
and it's too far for you to see now

The Future And The Wolf
02:47
|

we got a string
wrapped around the world
a hundred times
it goes
from your hand
to mine
I see ten years in the future
I'll find you by the water
I'll wait for you there
though we'll both be with another,
I think to see each other
will finally feel fair
they got wings
wrapped around the world
a hundred times
they stay
to keep us warm
all night
I see ten years now behind us
I write here to remind us
I saw you standing there
though we both were with another,
I think to see each other
was good - now you take care!
when the wolf is at my door,
I will think of you

I am afraid to be afraid of death
I am afraid to be afraid of loneliness
but this is what you want from me
this is what you want from me
you don't have to punch holes in walls
to see through it all
you don't have to grind your teeth
to find your sleep
and you know there is no one you trust
not your own within your own
flesh and blood
but this is what you want from me
this is what you want from me
you go drinking in the park
you go waiting in the dark
call me nothing in the street
and walk into me when we meet
now, I never been afraid to say sorry to you
I never been afraid to be wrong
but you treat me like a monster
and you're scared of the teeth
and I can only walk a line for so long
now, I never been afraid to say sorry to you
I never been afraid to be wrong
I never known a friend I didn't wanna see
but, I guess it'll never really be enough!
this is what you want from me
the halcyon days are gone
but we go on

Inferno

He looks down on you,
wondering where you've been
nobody knows
He looks down on you,
tallying up your sins
nobody knows
you may drown in the muddy water
and you may never come up
and if you can,
push the weight off of your chest
keep it away, away from us
He looks down on you
wondering what you've done
nobody knows
He looks down on you
and you can try to run
but there's nowhere to go
nobody knows
you may drown in the muddy water
and you may never come up
and if you can,
push the weight off of your chest
keep it away, away from us

Green Lights
02:59

pulling words from your blank face
you don't know how you feel
putting things back in your blank space
you're not sure what is real
in this new age, I get stuck for days
in the middle - at least I got halfway
keeping your eyes on the green lights
putting your head down to weep
keeping your body in a straight line
light years to go before I sleep
in this new age, I get stuck for days
dreaming about my hands on you
in this age, I get stuck for days
the atrocities I know I can do
in this new age, I get stuck for days
in the middle - at least I got halfway

The Past And The Moon
03:53

saw the moon and now it's forever
and nothing was the same
it was new years' eve
it was like a fever dream
oh no
when the past comes home to haunt you -
honey, you gotta let go!
there's a hole in the earth
that's where we keep our sorrows
did something cruel and now it's forever
and nothing is the same
st-jean baptiste, ça me rend bien triste
oh no
when the past comes home to haunt you -
honey, you gotta let go!
there's a hole in the earth
that's where we keep our sorrows
vous devez laisser aller
laisser faire
vous devez commencer à tenter à votre propre vie
hey honey, don't you see?
when the past comes home to haunt you -
honey, you gotta let go!
there's a hole in the earth
that's where we keep our sorrows
