Love Always Works
05:06

you can try for a power grab
you can try'n have the last laugh
you can try to make them bow
but c'mon now
love always works out
you can try'n get ahead
you can try'n line up the dead
you can try to put bullets in heads
but instead
don't you know
love always works out
love always works out
even when it doesn't
you can try to have the upper hand
use a noose for a wedding band
you can try to be the last left standing
with no one no one no one to ask for forgiving
but look at you look at you
you're still shivering
love always works
love always works
even when it doesn't

Big Cities
06:41
|

|
you can feel alone
silence your phone
you can lock it up
shutter it up
you can hide out
no one around
you can Walden
but there's big cities full of people
that are just like you
there's big cities full of people
just like you
no matter what you do
no matter what you do
there'll always be
big cities full of people
just like you
people wakin' up late
people can't get their lives straight
people takin' drugs
people havin' warm family group hugs
there are big cities full of people
just like you
there's big cities full of people
just like you
yeah it's true
they're just like you
overseas they speak a different language
don't know how they manage
maybe wear some different clothes
maybe know somethin' no one knows
but no matter how far
how remote
one thing one thing one thing one thing one thing
can always be known
they have big cities full of people
just like you
they got little villages
full of people just like you
they got guys hidin' out in trees without
families
and they're just like you
they're just like you
they're just like-
guys hidin' out in Winnebagos too
and they're just like you
they're just like you
they're just like you
even I
I'm just like you
just like you

Strange Transition
06:35
|
|||
|
it was a strange transition
into who I am now
not goin' back
how can I regain I know I lack?
in all my dreams of basements
I still have my favorites
I remember moving fingers
clutchin' on the strings
I remember settin' up a camera
and watchin' the screen
I fell into the dream
I fell into the dream
I fell into the dream
and I took all y'all with me
in all my basement days
I was afraid
and I clutched to foolish hope
that someday I would cope
well
I fell into the dream
I fell into the dream
I fell into the dream
and I took all the fear with me
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh-ooh-ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh-ooh-ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh-ooh-ooh
if you're still back there I apologize
see I was good at shuttin' my eyes
and so I did not realize
how much I owe to all you guys
I fell into the dream
I fell into the dream
I fell into the dream
and now I'm sinking
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh-ooh-ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh-ooh-ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh-ooh-ooh
can't speak
can't think
can't speak
can't think think my way out
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh-ooh-ooh
can't think my way out
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh-ooh-ooh
can't think my way out
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh-ooh-ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh-ooh-ooh

Fair Enough
05:04
|
|||
|
only get one shot
fair or not
but I missed
only get one shot
shot
but what if you miss
my minds full up
with all them same
voices again
the voices are sayin'
never never never
try again
I'm forgetting the clumsy art
of missin' the mark
I'm forgetting the clumsy art
of missin' the mark
the clumsy art
of missin' the mark
here I go
I'll miss it
gotta stay awake
gotta pay your mind
on what's happenin'
at the present time
I'm forgetting the clumsy art
I'm forgetting the clumsy art
of missin' the mark
missin' the mark
I'm forgetting the clumsy art
I'm forgetting the clumsy art
of missin' the mark
of missin' the mark
of missin' the mark
of missin' the mark

Double Drop
05:24
|
|||
|
I lost my bearings
and fell down in the yard
feeling in touch with nature
the laws of gravity
and my own heart
and now I'm falling once again
like falling through the floor
splashin' water on my face
just to try to feel
feel my human features
feel the screen
no one sittin' in the theatre
'cept Rene
I try to run away
I try to run away
tried to run away
and the next day
I had a headache
I rolled a page of the bible
a psalm
and a feeling in your guts
like your whole body is wrong
double
double drop
and it doesn't stop

6. |

|
you don't have to be fair
you don't have to be kind
just open it up look and
see what you find
you're bound to come across
a lot of clues
line up the suspects
break all the rules
speakin' from experience
I know you will
speakin' from experience
I know you will
and you'll find
what you need
buried deep inside
inside the screen
home movies
that show so much
method actin'
the long and lonely bluff
I see
you're finally standin' up
plain for me to see
think you got the fuckin' stuff
God
whoo
you're gonna make it
whether you like it or not
cause once it gets goin'
it never fuckin' stops
speakin' from experience
I know you will
speakin' from experience
I know you will
I know I know you will
aw

School Bully
05:44
|
|||
|
when you were in school
she tried to destroy you
she passed around your name
and she got everyone to sign
sign on the dotted line
saying that you should die
why are we always in this same
evil and fool fool foolish game
how long you gonna live
with that bitches voice in your head
how long you gonna live
tryin' to avoid the punishment
that you swore
you'd never
never never take any more
how long
how long
how long
how long
why do we
keep keep on playin'
this same
devilish game
game
ooh
ooh
do you remember me
I remember you
and all the things
that you told me to do
do you remember me
well I remember you
and all the fucked up things
you said for me to do
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
I got just one question
what the fuck
what what the fuck's
wrong with you?
I think you're hurting too
at least I hope you do

The Abyss

she looked
me in the eye
I still

feel
feel the eye
the all
seeing eye
how do I?
begin
to explain
it's seared
in my brain
and those eyes
I seen them again
seen them again
and it always happens
I forget
who I am
I forget
what I am
am I
for you
am I
for you
things are simple
but they don't make sense
it's a common
coincidence
you just think
it's you
you just think
it's the truth
I've seen the passed the veil
I've seen the passed the veil
passed the veil
passed the veil
passed the veil

the darkest night
the truth locked inside
the feelin' like

right here
the latter move
the hidden truths
the never healin' bruises
that you wear
everywhere
right here
right here
right here
the whole world
is right

in your hands
the things you say
to try 'n make it go away
the things you do
that don't seem to help you
right here
right here
the whole world
is right here
is right here
right here
ooh
right here
in your hands
