Альбом Passion Pit

So now we see
Comes burying my burnt remains
These puddled clouds
Oh I, I understand now

But darkness falls likes shattered pieces
Dangling, shimmering
Torn and tattered and crowned
Oh I'll not be told "No" to "No More!"

You must believe to hear me sing these
Messy morsels of my self-assuring love
Oh it's painful kneading
Yes, I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles
That glare me down and face me with all I do wrong
Why do they all look like me?

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive
And it's alright
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light
Of my treacherous life

If I had hands I'd hold up high
My lofty dreams and my alibi's real name
But I have no strength
So I toss and I turn and I spit in the urn
There's a ghost in your eye
There is someone that knows more than I
But I'm quick to deny

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive
And it's alright
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light
Of my treacherous life
Make Light!

when i came down the dawn poured into me
i shook em up, the walls came crumbling
my fists kept trembling with these salty wounds
my stolen gold inside the emperors tomb

now baby wait looks like a (lovely?) face
i built this cardboard neighborhoods disgrace
who let it said that youre my favorite (sphere?)
within the confines of such chemistry

its the way i see
everything i need
its no way to be

let this be our little secret
no one needs to know were feeling
higher and higher and higher

but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up i keep on climbing
higher and higher and higher

my face blew up at such a casual sight
this miracle is of ecstatic fright
they'll rush above me to oblivion
outlining white sidewalks with halogen

oh have you ever felt so goddamn strong
how come it takes some people so damn long
he tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
the citrus drawing out the seasons stains

watch the basin drain
as your life lines wane
and you cant explain
as your friends complain

you've caused all this pain
and you proudly shame
your whole families name

let this be our little secret
no one needs to know were feeling
higher and higher and higher

but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up i keep on climbing
higher and higher and higher

mother i can tell what youve been thinking
staring at the stars on your ceiling
thinking once there was a power that you were wielding
and now i've hit the mark
staring at the dark
and i cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars

let this be our little secret
no one needs to know were feeling
higher and higher and higher

but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up and keep on climbing
higher and higher and higher

Dear friend, as you know
Your flowers are withering
Your mother's gone insane
Your leaves have drifted away

But the clouds are clearing up
And I've come reveling
Burning incandescently
Like a bastard on the burning sea

You're just like your father
Buried deep beneath the water
Your pressing on your laurel
Is stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyway?
Put down your sword and crown
Come lay with me on the ground

You come beating like moth's wings
Spastic and violently
Whipping me into a storm
Shaking me down to the core
But you run away from me
And you left me shimmering
Like diamond wedding rings
Spinning dizzily down on the floor

You're just like your father
Buried deep beneath the water
Your pressing on your laurel
Is stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyway?
Put down your sword and crown
Come lay with me on the ground. (x2)

we dug these holes we crawled into now they're my home
now here i cannot feel the wind, cant feel the rain oh no
and i believe in gentle harmony
well how i loathe all this obscenity
is this the way my life has got to be?
have i a single opportunity?

look at me oh look at me is this the way i'll always be
oh no, oh no
now i pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me
oh no, oh no
everyday i lie awake and pray to god today's the day
oh no, oh no
here i am oh here i am oh when will someone understand?
oh no, oh no

and all at once i feel this, oh how it clings to me
it reels and calls me towards it, confounding destiny
and i can feel the madness inch by inch
the more i run the more i am convinced
a color all these like the branches glimpse
just like the saddle in the foggy mist

look at me oh look at me is this the way i'll always be
oh no, oh no
now i pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me
oh no, oh no
and everyday i lie awake and pray to god today's the day
oh no, oh no
here i am oh here i am oh when will someone understand?
oh no, oh no

look at me oh look at me is this the way i'll always be
oh no, oh no
now i pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me
oh no, oh no
and everyday i lie awake and pray to god today's the day
oh no, oh no
here i am oh here i am oh when will someone understand?
oh no, oh no

My world is stirring sickly
spits out our voices singing,
"Sha la la, oh, no no,"
to kingdom come so slightly.
Here in the void in your place,
I twitch and tweak allusion
to sit and stare so blankly
into our whole confused house.

Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeing?
Where do you go when I'm around?
What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?
And have the nerve to wear the crown?

Oh
Na na na na na na, hey! hey! (x4)

Some unguarded room:
a smoky figure fills me full,
makes my head swell in ruin.
My family kneels at the pew,
They nod, "We believe in what you're doing!"
I feel you rise above me,
the western landscape's towering,
and from my shell of a body
the flowers blossom for picking.

Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeing?
Where do you go when I'm around?
What have I done, what have I got that's so defeating?
And have the nerve to wear the crown?

Oh
Na na na na na na, hey! hey! (x4)

I've waited and waited for someone to take it.
Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.
Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.
I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.
I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
I've painted your problems but found them attractive.
Now I've been leaning towards a life far more caring,
thrown back through the dark with your eyes as my candles,
and your life, and my life, directions can render.
And all of a sudden you left me to handle
the reasons that never forbid me to (step out?).
And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret -
To say it aloud without actually breathing.

My eyes have once again been proven wrong
Your clouds, your blanket and my pity song
Hovering on your front lawn
Carry on until it's gone

What can I do?
The river's overrun
We're swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up

Then I lie naked in a rampage
In the flesh, face to face with the onset
I forget everything that's ever made me
Rise again
Now slowly leave my memory

What can I do?
The river's overrun
We're swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up
Now all my lovers raise their cups

What can I do?
The river's overrun
We're swimming in a flood, you know?
I thought I felt your touch
But the water's rising up
Now all my lovers raise their cups

leave me alone
leave me alone
leave me alone
im fine
ill be fine until the morning comes
then unmask me in the blistering sun

oh let me go
just let me go
just let me go
or ill
burst in front of your eyes
then collect myself from the ground

and when i go
and when i go
just let me go
like a light
flickering out in the skies
lost as fast as was found

everythings easy when you never have to choose
with the balances shifting it refers to you
like the sun and the moon i will circle you til you bloom
i will crush our love let it burn until i get to you

lay low
dont let me know what is real
we'll be quietly following you
will they take me as their own
now i will hold you i will keep you up and show my love
until it folds in my hands
but ill build it back to the top

everythings easy when you never have to choose
with the balances shifting it refers to you
like the sun and the moon i will circle you til you bloom
i will crush our love let it burn until i get to you

feel it rain
feel it rain
my love
feel it rain

That's a frosty way to speak,
To tell me how to live next to your potpourri
All this talking pulls my teeth.
I believed in you, so you believed in

[Chorus]
Me, I cried out "God"
You dared me in the dark
I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark
so now I hide in piles of princely orange peels
It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel.

Once I had an name to call you.
It scraped along the walls like an orthodox saint.
I wish for the same old things that turn me inside out.
Hearing is a strain, it's a game!

[Chorus]

Never have I ever been
Clutching at your hair to cure you of some sin,
But that's the kind of state I'm in:
Swimming in a pool of godly medicine.

"Come, come," I hear it calling me, yelling,
Like if ever there was someone who could make things heavy again.
Feel alive!

[Chorus x2]

And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going

And you said
It was like fire around the brim
Burning silent
Burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right the dark
You gave fire like someone into my eyes
You will not inch from the edge of this bed
I drive you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

They couldn't of something to say the day you burst
They'll try to rely in for all their might and all their thirst
They draw in your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls against your rules against your sin

Mine can't come down
Till they're pouring out through the doors
Of your life then go in disguise like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

In pastures blue and green
Ill follow you and you'll follow me
My fabrics mystery
Ill wave your loyalty in the freezing
Breeze so desperately
I think I see see my life
He bows all slyly and gentle-like
Hes never had the right
But Ive never lived without
His sad and jealous eyes
Oh and another one comes down
Another one comes down
Another one comes down
Another one comes down
But its the thought that counts
So. Quiet minds don't know their worth
They know what to do
So Ill pray for them and Ill pray for you
Till my face turns blue
Oh and another one comes down
Another one comes down
Another one comes down
Theyd say.
Let your love grow tall.
Let your love grow tall.
Tall as the grass in the meadow?
Or the dunes on the shore?
Like the buildings in the city?
And your children on the floor?
Like the darkness in the forest?
Like my frightened worried eyes?
Or the roots in the soil?
Are skies telling lies?

Some day you'll see
Surrounded by angels
Floating atop of the sea
On banded knees
Don't go where they go
Don't sing all the songs they sing

[Chorus]

Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew
Yeah, I thought I knew
Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew
Yeah, I thought I knew

Between these walls
Her back, strange glimpse, casts shadows frighteningly tall
I slow to a crawl
I jump and I yell but she hears nothing at all

[Chorus]

Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew
Yeah, I thought I knew
Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew
Yeah, I thought I knew

Stay, stay the same
'Cause everything else will change
And I've always been to blame
So please just stay the same

The currents pull me in
The tide has reached my chin
The seaweed tickles skin
Just let the water win
I'm freezing to the bone
You'll never be at home
Just watch, you're running out
Just watch your body go

Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew
Yeah, I thought I knew
Nobody knows you the way you know you
But I think I do
But I thought I knew
Yeah, I thought I knew
