Magic Things

I saw things I can’t describe
You saw me see them
Why should I lie to you?
Lie to you
I saw things I can’t explain
Everybody thinks I’m fake
Why should you?
Why should you?
I saw a different world
I saw a better world
I saw a cleaner world
I saw the perfect world
Some of the money you made I need
to keep seeing those magic things I see
Some of the money you made I need
to keep seeing those magic things
I saw things I can’t describe
You saw me see them
Why should I lie to you?
Lie to you
I saw things I can’t explain
Everybody thinks I’m fake
Why should you?
Why should you?
Magic things

As we merge we come alive
Wet societies based on crying
I got demons in my mind
It’s the only way to dry
Roofless cities, stainless hours
Rigid chairs, no talking shite
Fishes swimming in my mind
It’s the best time of the year again
Sun is out, all is one
She's hungry, dinner’s on me
Drive me home, yesterday, we became
Lovers, drifters, foreigners
Lovers, drifters, foreigners
Lovers, drifters, foreigners
As we merge we come alive
Wet societies based on crying
I got demons in my mind
It’s the only way to dry
Roofless cities, stainless hours
Rigid chairs, no talking shite
Fishes swimming in my mind
It’s the best time of the year again
Sun is out, all is one
She's hungry, dinner’s on me
Drive me home, yesterday, we became
Lovers, drifters, foreigners
Lovers, drifters, foreigners
Lovers, drifters, foreigners

Hey There
02:50
|

Hey there, i had thoughts in the morning
What happened next?
Mayhem, sometimes i cant control it
I know you know
Stay there, you dirty little nothing
'cause here it goes
Don't wanna be your toy
I wanna play alone
The thoughts in the morning will never make me pleased
Hey there, you used to be a burden
Well now you’re not
Hey there, you used to have a body
Well now you don't
Hey there, you used to be a burden
You never were
Don't wanna be your toy
I wanna play alone
The thoughts in the morning will never make me pleased
Don’t try to make me pleased
Don’t try to make me pleased
Don’t try to make me pleased
you’ll never be my friend
again

Anyway

Love is the only word you know
and you don't know what it means
I saw you barely walking
crushed by the weight of your own self
Does it get any better than this
It doesn't get any better than this
Anyway
Does it get any better than this
does it get any better than this?
It doesn't get any better than this
it doesn't get any better than this
Anyway

Panic Attack
02:04

Athletic smiles interrupting my
panic attack! Panic attack
I see you trying and I think “Oh my”
where do we go? where do we go?
They always say everything’s alright,
everything passes and nothing lasts
We need a lawyer, we need more time
You wanna run away
I always talk too much
Somebody wants to hide
Nobody wants to die
Alright
A friend has called interrupting my
panic attack! Panic attack
I see you crying and I think “oh my”
where do we go? where are we now?
They always say everything’s alright,
everything passes and nothing lasts
We don’t need answers, we need more time
You wanna run away
I always talk too much
Somebody wants to hide
Nobody wants to die

You Never Go Outside
02:37

I don’t know why i lied
I didn’t wanna lie
I think I would have died
Save a prayer for me next time
Don’t be angry
Nothing happens for no reason i know but
Some things happen for reasons unknown to me to you to anyone else
Please don’t leave me
Please don’t leave me
You never go outside
You never go outside
You never go outside
You never go
I don’t know why i lied
I didn’t wanna lie
I think I should have died
Save a prayer for me next time
Don’t be angry
Nothing happens for no reason i know but
Some things happen for reasons unknown to me to you to anyone else
Please don’t leave me
You never go outside
You never go outside
You never go outside
You never go

Sorry

I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
Sometimes the angels break the rules too
I’m worried
I’m worried
I’m worried
Is this the world we want to speak to?
No angles
No angles
No angles
We need a place where we can hide
For a while
Transcending
Transcending
Are we in a fight? (Strange buildings)
I know my rights (in her dreams)
Are we in a hurry? (She saw)
I dont get why (the crime scene)
Are we in a fight? (Strange buildings)
I know my rights (in her dreams)
Are we in a hurry? (She saw)
I dont get why (the crime scene)
(it was blurry, I’m worried)
No angles
No angles
No angles
We need a place where we can hide
Forever
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry

Cold Hands
02:17
|
|||
|
Cold hands waving in the distance
for a salty goodbye
We were sneaking in our shelters
and love was waiting outside
We were looking for a ride
but we had nowhere to go
We were taking our time
it was a long time ago
I was measuring the distance
between the pros and the cons
And you were acting like you don't mind
acting like you don't know
We were looking for a shortcut
We were bound to get lost
We were feeling alive
It was a lifetime ago
We were looking for a ride
but we had nowhere to go
We were taking our time
it was a long time ago

Ritmo Lento
03:00
|
|||
|
In the woods
On the streets
On my mind
Grab a thought
Like a crane
to the sky
Why, why, why
don’t you tell me everything?
I want to hear those big ideas
you’ve been talking of
All night long
on the bed
Smoking 100 cigarettes
Why, why, why, why, why?

New Bay
03:31
|
|||
|
I can’t find a way
To have a good time
To have a good time
I can’t move away
To see a new bay
To see a new bay
Scraping paper off the walls in my bedroom
Laundering the blankets of dissatisfaction
But I was born to lose
I was born to stay here
Scraping paper off the walls in my bedroom
Laundering the blankets of dissatisfaction
But I was born to lose
I was born to stay here

Situationship
01:45
|
|||
|
I wish I was quicker
maybe we don’t work
I was supposed to come
and say hello
I was afraid I’d freak out
my doctor said he’s proud
but I wish we went deeper
and I wish I was quicker
maybe I don’t work
I was supposed to come
I was supposed to come
I was supposed to come
and say hello

Get Stuck
02:56
|
|||
|
And I dunno where it starts
But I think i've never tried
Useless thoughts, useless jokes
You gotta keep blushing and smiling
today for me, today for me
don't give a fuck if your muscles are crying
No tears this time, no feelings allowed
That was a luxury of the past, of the past
We can't get stuck on that memory
we traded for something better
Ego powers sufferings
Sufferings power your life for now
