"Feathers And Down"
So you trying to do what they did
Your friends that turn to liquid
And got lost in the sea
And now you’re drowning me
With your talk of four leaf clovers
You turn to rocks and omen
To beat the ambient harm
But it’s bruising your karma

Oh I wish my arms were wider
I wish that I could hide you
So you can rest and repair
Without the blanket of sorrow
The thick and the grey
Your blanket of woe
So heavy and stained
And it only weighs you down

So you thought that getting sober
Would mean your life was over
I don’t think it’s that bad
I don’t think it’s that sad
Just you sleep a little baby
Leave the world alone and later
If you wake up alive
That old blanket of sorrow
Could be feathers and down
Your blanket of woe
Would leave you alone
And I can love you till you drown

Come to me let’s drown
Come baby let’s drown
In feathers and down

"03.45: No Sleep"
It's way too late to think of
Someone I would call now
And neon signs got tired
Red eye flights help the stars out
I'm safe in a corner
Just hours before me

I'm waking with the roaches
The world has surrendered
I'm dating ancient ghosts
The ones I made friends with
The comfort of fireflies
Long gone before daylight

And if I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God leant his voice to me to speak
I'd say go to bed, world

I've always been too late
To see what's before me
And I know nothing sweeter than
Champaign from last New Years
Sweet music in my ears
And a night full of no fears

But if I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God passed a mic to me to speak
I'd say stay in bed, world
Sleep in peace

"Paralyzed"
This is where your sanity gives in
and love begins
Never lose your grip
don't trip
don't fall
you'll lose it all

The sweetest way to die

It lies deep inside
you can not hide
it's the meanest fire

Oh, it's a strange desire
you can not lie
that's a needless fight
This is where your sanity gives in
and love begins
Never lose your grip
don't trip
don't fall
you'll lose it all

The sweetest way to die

When your blood runs dry
you're paralyzed
it will eat your mind
Did you hold it back
It comes to you in slow attacks
It's the meanest fire

"Explode"
Ease your trouble
we'll pay them double
not to look at you for a while
And you rely on
what you get high on
and you last just as long as it serves you

Explode or implode
explode or implode
we will take care of it
yes, we will carry you

'cause you're deserted
what's good, you hurt it
and it kills you it keeps you alive
so give it up
in a world of puppets
It's a shame what they do to us all
can we do anything for you now ?

"Starter"
This is a start
that I know I'll believe in
so I'm leavin' everything behind
Keeping the parts
that I know I'll be needing
and I breed to be a better kind
And I'm leavin' everyone behind

This is the age
when my past should be gone
but it's just stronger than the aims I have
Turning the pages
I used to hang on to
I was young and I have changed my mind
And I'm leaving everything behind

New beginning again
a bit closer
new beginning again
a little bit closer
New beginning again
a bit closer to the end

This is the time
it's a delicate line
to the beginning of what's yet to come
Lifetimes of changes
a strange generation
explanations never come in time
So I'm leavin' everything behind

"Hanging Around"
I wonder what it's like
seeing through your eyes
You've offered me to have a try
but I was always late
The filters that I use
give me an excuse
I take away what's real
I feel it and it blows my fuse

I hang around
for another round
I'm hanging around
for another round
I'm hanging on
to the same old song
I hang around
for another round
Until something stops me

I wonder what it's like
walking by your side
To think before I talk
and to move at the same speed as you walk
I want to have a weight
to keep me in your state
I'm watching from above
I love it but it's not for me

jecika_84 · ^Everyday Is Viggo day^

"Higher"
I'm glad you came around today
I sure need a good companion
I'm losing it but you're the same
without you I move at random
Abusing you 'cause you're a friend
and there's no Jesus here to explain

And take me higher
come take me higher
come take me high above our time
Take me higher
oh take me higher
come take me high above our time
We'll make it out of here: oh yeah

You justify, you're not afraid
and I won't feel like this forever
You wait with me, because you know
there's so much more than this before we go

To take us higher
come take us higher
come take us high above our time
Take us higher
oh take us higher
come take us high above our time
We'll make it out of here
come take us out of here
take us anywhere: oh yeah

"Marvel Hill"
Strange to be on Marvel Hill
I've walked some years to find
I know there is a piece to fill
the gap I have in mind

No, nothing's here, I close my eyes
it's on the other side

And what I've worked so hard to gain
I'd gladly give away
'cause I don't need this
I don't need it
I need more

a postcard from where life is a thrill
on top of Marvel Hill
but I don't need this
I don't need it
I need more
no, I don' t need this
too good to be true
too good to ignore
I don't need this
I need so much more
It's too much to ask for

"Do You Believe"
Do you really think
that love is gonna save the world
Well, I don't think so
Do you really think
that love is gonna save your soul
Well I sure hope so
I really hope so
But I don't think so

"Junk Of The Hearts"
We never chose to part
in this stupid play
I never felt by heart
that I could behave
the way the roles were made

I know that I've done you wrong
but you're hard to please
When your faith is gone
and when you can't believe
I'm on my hands and knees

The junk of the hearts

I've given all of me
and you crave for more
Weird how this makes us feel
insecure
that's what friends are for

"Step On Me"
Oh, I think you're standing
on my left foot
it's hurting, but that's OK
cause I'm in your way

You'll break that foot that
you're standing on
I'll walk with the other one

Do what you want to do what you want to
be what you want to be what you want to
go on and step on me

You're free to have everything
you can see, all that you want to be
do what you want with me

Oh, I think you're spinning
inside my head
I think of you all the day
cause you're in my way

Oh, I think you're holding
the heart of mine
squeeze it apart, that's fine
go ahead and step on me

"Never Recover"
How I always memorize
every single misery
and I seem to glorify
everything inside of me

and the hero never dies
if the lover hides
between the sheets
there' no escape
cause you can't sleep
and then you'll see
your just like me...

That's what you called waste of time
I'll be waiting down the line
that's what you called waste of time
waiting for your valentine
that's what you called waste of time
I know where you hero hides
that's why you don't sleep tonight
that's what I call life

with a hero in the past
you hang on to history
such a lost will always last
and there's no recovery
