The Meteor

Come, meteor, come
Let's go the way of the dinosaurs gone
and wipe the slate
'cause it's unclear how much we've evolved
we're still selfish and most of all
we're still cruel
We've had our time and we've
squandered everything
come, meteor, come
and set things straight
Fire in the Sky
they'll all run and hide
just stay by my side
last of the human race
Individuals
are sometimes great
but what on Earth does that even say
about us, about us?
We like digging graves
for us, oh us
well it's such a shame
Fire in the Sky
they'll all run and hide
just stay by my side
last of the human race
Fire in the Sky
they'll all run and hide
It's just you and I
left in the human race
Come on, baby, it's not crazy
It's just our time
It's just time
Come on, baby, don't be afraid
It's just our time
It's just time
Fire in the Sky
they'll all run and hide
just stay by my side
last of the human race

Making Eyes
03:45
|
|

|
Fairy tales caught in my throat
Constantly stirring up hopes
For one more try
ahh ahhh
at making eyes
Curious how this takes hold
Structure collapses and folds
Creation dies
Ahh ahh
While making eyes
I don't want to need this
I don't want to face what this means!
Honestly I'm just
running away from this side of me
that still clings
Precious time lost to this void
Brain cells have died for you, boys
Creation dies
Ahh ahh
When making eyes
I don't want to need this
I don't want to face what this means!
Honestly I'm just
running away from this side of me
that still clings
Set free my thoughts from this
cycle that's burning through
all that's productive and positive
Burning through stables and fortresses
rapidly burning them down . . . down
I don't want to need this
I don't want to face what this means!
Honestly I'm just
running away from this side of me
that still clings

Now and Always
03:22
|
|

|
Nothing stops the machine
boom and bust, pretty green
I should care more about these things
it's true
but I can't shake off this dream
That I want someone to say
I'll be here with you!
Now and always
I'll be here with you
now and always
Sprinting on this broken wheel
just for a roof and a hot meal
'Cause we're cemented in this deal
by fools
and no one asked me how I feel
I just want someone to say
I'll be here with you!
Now and always
I'll be here with you
now and always
And while the world burns out its veins
I wait for you
while the world blows out its brains
I wait for you
Now and always
I just want someone to say
I'll be here with you!
Now and always
I'll be here with you
now and always

Corset
03:47
|

If I should burst, these feelings go first
into the dark night
and fly over streets where I'd like to be
but it's not safe, mind.
Up in the sky, my pieces of mind
are supernovas
'cause if I should burst, so many words
will slice the air up!
I watched you blunder, boy
I was right here
Hopelessly myself and so damn sincere.
Restless as wolves, I'm feeling the pull
back in my own room
with nowhere to go, except on my own
but it's not safe though
I watched you blunder, boy
I was right here
Hopelessly myself and so damn sincere.
Irresolute, I am
full to the brim with all this zeal
Inside a corset
made of extraordinary steel
Irresolute, I am
full to the brim with something real
If I should burst then...
If I should burst, these feelings go first
into the dark night
and fly over streets where I'd like to be
but it's not safe, mind.
I watched you blunder, boy
I was right here
Hopelessly myself and so damn sincere.

Keyhole
03:34

Nothing's wrong
except the keyhole's small
and I can't see enough
of what I know I'd love
beyond these walls
Still it comes, the emptiness creeps in strong
the hollowness seeps in bones
It's following me
Nothing's wrong
except this can't be all
This can't be my whole world!
I'm a shuttered, dark-eyed girl
behind these walls
Still it comes, the emptiness creeps in strong
the hollowness seeps in bones
It's following me
It's empty here, and all I can do is wait around
All I can do...is wait around
Still it comes, the emptiness creeps in strong
the hollowness seeps in bones
It's following me

Dance Floor

He’s got this hold on me
like a great song
despite the flaws that I can see
waving their arms
Madly, that’s how I fall
badly, grasping at straws
He’s got me dreaming when I’m awake
I’m dreaming this song
It’s such a beautiful mistake
What could go wrong?
Standing here on this dance floor
at least I’m alive!
Nobody knows much more
than how to survive
Standing here on this dance floor
at least I’m alive
Nobody knows much more
than how to survive
He’s got me thinking of another time
and watching old films
An adolescence cooler than mine –
he’s living it still
Madly, that’s how I fall
badly, grasping at straws
Standing here on this dance floor
at least I’m alive!
Nobody knows much more
than how to survive
Standing here on this dance floor
at least I’m alive
Nobody knows much more
than how to survive
