Bury The Dead

Bury the dead
Fascinations are grown by the way we keep clean
Spinning around and around ‘til I'm sick on your cream walls
And paper lampshades
Fake fires
Let us bury our dead

There's something I'm fearing
My feeling, is it real?
My heart, it won’t stop beating
Is yours beating or are you still...
...like when we were young?
Standing underneath the same big sun
There's something I'm feeling
Is it reason to give in?
I need to know you're breathing
Are you breathing or are you standing up for me?
Have you drowned in the sea?
In the sea
I've never seen anyone come down like you
To break you up and start again is hard to see

Caught up in a wave, the time it takes
Take me on a roll, the way it goes
I feel like my eyes won’t feed me
Feed me right
Feed me right
So sort me out
You need me like I need you
Something's coming
But I've got no feeling in my feet
Or in my hands
Or in my heart...oh
How are you doing this?
How are you running things?
I've been down here more than one time
I know everyone that jumps the gun
The orange light just hurts my eyes
Make up your mind
Make up your mind and…
Sort yourself out
You need me like I need you
Something's coming
But I've got no feeling in my feet
Or in my hands
Or in my heart...oh
How are you doing this?
How are you running things?
You're making me feel it
You're making me feel it until it's gone

Can I run when it’s in my dreams?
I've seen me when I'm old
Who cares if there's no-one there?
I care
It scared me
Breathe in
Breathe slow
Breathe out
Don't talk...don't talk
Breathe in and breathe out
But don't talk
Don't talk
Said “No”
Did not give in
I know it wants what we have
Beat my head ‘til there's no-one there
Just enough
to shut you up
Breathe in
Breathe slow
Breathe out
Don't talk...don't talk
Breathe in and breathe out
But don't talk
Don't talk

Crazy
05:14
|
|||
The first time I saw you liked me
The first time I saw us
The first time I lay beside you
I thought I knew
Is it over ‘cause I waited?
I'm not lazy, I'm a fool
Is it over ‘cause I wasted?
I'm not lazy, I'm crazy
The first time I felt our baby
The first time I felt alive
But when I saw you with him
The first time I felt alone
Is it over ‘cause I waited?
I'm not lazy, I'm a fool
Is it over ‘cause I wasted?
I'm not lazy, I'm crazy
Help us
Angels
I see angels

Another Picture
03:49
|
|||
I keep a record of everything I see
This is just another picture in there
Wading out
Wading out to the sea
And I broke free from the prison in my head
This was not understood as blatantly
But it opened up the door for me
Now I see blue skies, creatures, and strange things
Falling in, and in and out of my path
A boat on the sea or wading and free
A boat on the sea or wading and free
Out to the sea
A line exists here to stop me if it can
If I go forward I know I'll see something new
My destiny...is it looking at me?
But I had dangerous moments of madness
Coming back from disbelieving a thought
Monsters and men, counting to ten
Monsters and men
They drew a line in the sand
But I can't look at that
I can't look down
And I can't go back
They drew a line in the sand
But I can't look at that
I can't look down
And I can't go back
I see blue skies, creatures, and strange things
Falling in, and in and out of my path
A boat on the sea or wading and free
A boat on the sea or wading and free out to the sea
They drew a line in the sand
But I can't look at that
I can't look down
And I can't go back

Love Is Not
04:03
|

Love is not friends
Love is not forgetting
I looked into a mirror
My eyes...I’m tired
A kiss, a kiss is just a kiss
Unless it’s with you
But I’m trying to
I’m trying to
Bring down, bring down
Preachers who tell us things we know but can’t change
Light us a cigarette
Make us forget the things we’ve learned along the way
‘Cause I’m trying to
I’m trying to
I surrender
I surrender unto you
I surrender
I surrender unto you and to me
It’s going to be a long night for me
It’s going to be a long night for us
Love is not friends
Love is not forgetting

Marian
03:12

I saw a man today
He was in a hurry
Said his wife was falling asleep
I know what he means
I know what it means
I saw a man today
He was in a hurry
He stepped out in front of me
I swerved, he smiled
In his eyes I was free
And this song is for Marian
She's a light in a dark place
I know that it sounds funny
But she has the most amazing dream
Amazing dream

Gotta Run
05:33
|
|||
When I see you face-to-face
You don't have to feel bad
‘Cause you and I have too much time on our hands
There's a fire from now on
It burns my eyes and my tongue
I sit and stare, ‘cause over there...
Falling on the rooftops it comes
And I can see it, ‘cause I want it
All that I can see is up to me for pain, and you for glory
All that I can be…was it a dream?
And I see angels in the street
And everything I fear
I don't care how long it's been going on
It's falling out the bottom
I Gotta run, I gotta run
I feel it in my bones
No-one can stop this pain-ache I got in my heart
But I can see it, ‘cause i want it
All that I can see is up to me for pain, and you for glory
All that I can be…is it up to me?
It’s up to me for pain
And you for glory
All that I can be…is it a dream?

Oh...I'm falling
How can you feel what I'm feeling?
Talk is hurting me
But talk is nothing, talk is nothing
You talk but who understands?
And who will come?
The stars will not ache so much
For his coming, his coming
Coming…
Life at the end of a hard day
At the end of a hard day you will find rest
Oh there’s a light at the end of a hard day
At the end of a hard day you will find rest
Oh...reach down
Don't see the world from your window
Your heart is broken and waiting... waiting...waiting...waiting
But who here understands the sacrifices made for the next life?
And talk is hurting us
But talk is ending
Talk is ending...
Life, at the end of a hard day
At the end of a hard day you will find rest
Oh there's a light at the end of a hard day
At the end of a hard day you will find rest
You will find rest
You will find rest
