What You Wish For
03:02
|
|||
|
I have made a decision
No more troubled days on the horizon
I've found a quiet place
To lend my heavy head a bit of space
You come over, dressed up like the ace of spades
Tell me lover lover, am I meant to be afraid?
Tell me what you wish for, what you wish for
Tell me what you wish for, what you wish for
Tell me what you wish for, what you wish for
Tell me what you wish for, what you wish for
But careful what you wish for, what you wish for
Careful what you wish for, what you wish for
Careful what you wish for, what you wish for
Careful what you wish for, what you wish for
I'm not longer a child
Everything I do is fully mine
Flawed, we live in sin
Yet we glow, glow, we're glowing from within
I've been reassessing my obsession with success
Everyone's a messy piece of work in progress
Everyone's a messy piece of work in progress
Everyone's a messy piece of work in progress
Tell me what you wish for, what you wish for
Tell me what you wish for, what you wish for
Tell me what you wish for, what you wish for
Tell me what you wish for, what you wish for
But careful what you wish for, what you wish for
Careful what you wish for, what you wish for
Careful what you wish for, what you wish for
Careful what you wish for, what you wish for

Sweetness

Sweetness, sweetness
I see you hanging around, see you hanging around
Fearless, fearless
You're moving without a sound, moving without a sound
And there's always pain where there is beauty
Does it hurt you like it hurts me
Does it hurt you like it hurts me
Always pain where there is beauty
Does it hurt you like it hurts me
Does it hurt you like it hurts me
Sweetness, sweetness
I see you hanging around, see you hanging around
Reckless, reckless
You're hunting on sacred ground
Hunting on sacred ground
And there's always pain where there is beauty
Does it hurt you like it hurts me
Does it hurt you like it hurts me
Always pain where there is beauty
Does it hurt you like it hurts me
Does it hurt you like it hurts me
Sweetness, sweetness
Is there any peace to be found
Any peace to be found
Sweetness, sweetness
Is there any peace to be found
Any peace to be found

Unmarried and unmothered
Forever yours, yet untethered
I'll be singing your every tune
In this eternal honeymoon

Play On

I held your mirror
I spoke my truth
You made an error
Now put it to use
We learned and grew
We got acquainted
But the more I knew you
The more I doubted
Play on, play on
I only like it when you play
Play on
And when you're done just go away
Play on, play on
I only like you when you play
Play on
You're the picture of Dorian Gray
Dorian Gray
I'm a burning coal
That's just how I live
You liked to take it all
I only wanted to give
How many sunsets
For someone to change
But I can tilt the planets
See how they rearrange?
Play on, play on
I only like it when you play
Play on
And when you're done just go away
Play on, play on
I only like you when you play
Play on
And when you're done just go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
Go away

Téléphone

J'ai mille et un amis dans mon téléphone
Je vois leurs jolies vies, un défilé Scopitone
Et j'ai le monde au bout des doigts
Sur mon téléphone
Mais tout autour de moi
Il n'y a plus personne
Je veux te voir en vrai de vrai
Pas sur un écran noir
Ni saveur, ni toucher
Je veux savoir comment tu es
Sans aucun artifice, sortir du précipice
I don't believe I may be the only one
Who's been feeling this way
So, speak after the tone
I'll call you when I'm home
On my telephone
We'll never be alone, friend
Never be alone again
Never be alone, friend
Never be alone again
Never be alone, friend
Never be alone again

Meet me where the grass grows high
Hide
And wait for a sign
A shift in time
The moment has come
The damage is done
Meet me where the wind is wild
Hide
And wait for a sign
A changing tide
The moment has come
The damage is done
But try to hold my hand
Try to hold my hand
Try to hold my hand
Try to hold my hand
Try to hold my hand
Try to hold my hand

The Apple
02:35
|
|||
|
I took a bite of the apple
You gave to me when I came to see
You stepping out of this city
I didn't mean any trouble
It's just one of the things I do
When days are long and I feel blue
It's true
I did a dance on your wall
Something to fill this empty room
This feeling of impending doom
I will invent a ritual
A spell that makes the mind awake
See how it shines, see how it shakes
With you
Life doesn't make sense at all
Life doesn't make sense at all
Life doesn't make sense at all
Life doesn't make sense at all

Hilltop
02:34
|
|||
|
You run towards me with arms open
Like a rising sun
You smile endlessly and all inside
Begins to turn
All I know and all I am and all I feel and all my life
Inside out
Inside out
We walk all the way up
Hilltop is where we set up shop
We talk through a million schemes
No joke, it's our way to dream
All I know and all I am and all I feel and all my life
And all within and all without
Inside out
Inside out
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Psychopomps
03:31

|
She flew through the window on a windy day
Silently, stared at me
All silver and grey
Never seen such a scene but still, I guessed
She was here to take me to my final rest
But I'm not ready to meet my death
I'm not ready to meet my death
I'm not ready to meet my death
I'm not ready to meet my death
I know all my demons 'cause I have met them
We sat around my bed to write a requiem
I know of the darkness for I have been there
I know it can kill you if you don't take care
But I'm not ready to meet my death
I'm not ready to meet my death
I'm not ready to meet my death
I'm not ready to meet my death
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm only your guide
Someone else has sent me from the other side
No one chooses, it begins and then it ends
No one loses, no one wins, now make amends
And get ready to meet your death
I'm not ready to meet my death
I'm not ready to meet my death
I'm not ready to meet my death
I'm not ready to meet my death
I'm not ready to meet my death
I'm not ready to meet my death

Paradise Will Return
03:10
|
|||
|
Happiness is a bore
A golden burden we wore
On our shoulders
We told the Elders:
Paradise is no fun
Your demise has begun
We'll raise hell on Earth
Just to see if it hurts
Emptiness is a whore
Always comes back for more
We had all we dreamed of
Was it ever enough?
Paradise will return
Flowers will rise, unconcerned
We had all we needed
In our soul, we knew it

Meltdown
02:45
|
|||
|
I've been dipping my toes in your troubled waters
Going to the shows 'cause there is nothing better
Trying my best to put those feelings at rest
Seeking the approval of a cruel lover
Up in Hanover, won't you come over?
Oh, how could it be?
A lifetime here and you're nowhere near where you wanted to be
Oh, look at the sea!
It's a pretty good town for a steady meltdown
You'll see...
You'll see!
I've been looking for a trace of you in every corner
Asking for a point of view, don't know what you're after
Playing along, but this game is so wrong
Seeking the approval of a cruel lover
Do us a favour, it's now or never
Oh, how could it be?
A lifetime here and you're nowhere near where you wanted to be
Oh, look at the sea!
It's a pretty good town for a steady meltdown
You'll see...
Oh...
It's a pretty good town if you don't let it down, you'll see...
You'll see!

Swells
03:53
|

|
A heart that swells
A voice that sings
A tolling bell
Four dancing strings
It is all that I have
It is all that I have
A love that bursts
Into a fire
A furious thirst
For something higher
A heart that swells
But never breaks
It knows too well
How long it takes
To learn how to heal again
To burn and to feel again
To turn every growing pain
To pearls in the glowing rain
It is all that I have
It is all that I have
It is all that I have
All that I have
All that I have
All that I have
