Lyrics

I have a choice between the bat and the belt
Each time I hear about the hand you’ve been dealt
Spare me confession, it’s confession you sell
Maybe I’ll fall behind but I don’t mind because I’ll catch up

I want a song that indelible like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up

Will I be happy on the back of the shelf
Will you be happy when we’re sharing a cell
Spare me your questions since you know me so well
Someday you’ll realize that I get shy and I choke up

I want a song that’s indelible like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal, I’m terrible
I hope you never see me wind up

Farewell my sweet paramania
(REPEAT)

My only promise is that I’ll never tell
Keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I’ll bite the bullet, take the beating until
I take it all back anyway, what was I supposed to say?

I want a song that’s indelible like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up
What is wrong with this animal, I’m terrible
I hope you never see me wind up

Lyrics

I’m hanging on
Here until I’m gone
I’m right where I belong
Just hanging on

Even though
I watched you come and go
How was I to know
You’d steal the show?

One day I’ll have enough to gamble
I’ll wait to hear your final call
And bet it all

I’m hanging on
Here until I’m gone
I’m right where I belong
Just hanging on

Even though
I pass this time alone
Somewhere so unknown
It heals the soul

You ask for walls
I’ll build them higher
We’ll lie in shadows of them all
I’d stand but they’re much too tall
And I fall

CHORUS
February stars
Floating in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars

REPEAT CHORUS (2X)

I was waiting for something
Maybe flying machines
That’s when I found lily
The best I’ve ever seen

Put her on the ceiling
Try to make her my own
People line up to see
But there never seems to be

Enough space
Space
Space
Space

Lyrics

Come and I’ll take you under
This beautiful bruise’s colours
Everything fades in time, it’s true
I wish that I had another
Stab at the undercover
Was it a change in mind for you?

(It’s impossible)
I can’t let it out
(You’ll never know)
Am I selling you out?
(Sit and watch) your every move

Your eyes still remind me of
Angels that hover above
Eyes that can change from blind to blue

(It’s impossible)
I can’t let it out
(You’ll never know)
Am I selling you out?
(Sit and watch) your every move

Now that I’ve found my reward
I’d throw it away long before
I’d share a piece of mind with you

(It’s impossible)
I can’t let it out
(You’ll never know)
Am I selling you out?
(Sit and watch) your every move

Lyrics

Tonight I’m tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won’t do without you, matter of fact
I’m on your back, I’m on your back, I’m on your back

If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you

If you’d accept surrender, I’ll give up some more
Weren’t you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I’m on your back, I’m on your back, I’m on your back

If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you

Another heart is cracked in two, I’m on your back

I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I’m on your back, I’m on your back, I’m on your back

If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you
If you walk out on me, I’m walking after you

Another heart is cracked in two, I’m on your back

The rain is here and you, my dear, are still my friend
It’s true, the two of us are back as one again

CHORUS
I was the one who left you
Always coming back
I cannot forget you, girl
Now I am up in arms again

(REPEAT ALL)

Together now I don’t know how this love could end
My lonely heart, it falls apart for you to mend

Lyrics

Have you found your way around the down and out?
I know it must seem long, so long
I’m still trying to keep this time from running out
Head down, always moving on and on and on

I never heard this warning
Another early morning takes me, wakes me into
If you could manage me
I’ll try to manage you
But lately it’s all I ever do

CHORUS
I felt like this on my way home
I’m not scared
I pass the boats and the kingdome
I’m not scared

I’ll never tell you the secrets I’m holding
I know these things must bore you
But I can’t find another way
I’ll never tell you the secrets I’m holding
I love this leash that holds me
When I try to run away

REPEAT CHORUS (8X)

I’m not scared

Lyrics

Real life is so hard
We hide in the stars
That’s where our heads are
My head and your heart

CHORUS
This a black out
Don’t let it go to waste
This is a black out
I want to detonate

When you are so far
I’m falling apart
Lose all my sonar
You jam my radar

CHORUS

Sometimes I feel like getting stuck
Between the handshake and the f*ck

You’ve got me on guard
I’ve got my headstart
My head and your heart
The same in the stars

CHORUS

Sometimes I wish that I could change
I can’t save you from my poor brain
OK

Lyrics

Too alarming now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He’s ordinary

Don’t the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He’s ordinary

Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one that’s on

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He’s ordinary

You know in all of the times that we’ve shared
I’ve never been so scared

Doll me up in my bad luck
I’ll meet you there

I wish I never had taken this dare
I wasn’t quite prepared

Doll me up in my bad luck
I’ll meet you there
