1. dream to make believe
it's funny how things work out. the ones we need don't know we're there. if i were sand and you were oceans, the moon would be why you're pulled to me. i wake up and think dreams are real. i sleep so i don't have to feel. the truth that you can never be the one person that won't ever forget me. i hope that dreams come when i die so we can talk. i won't wake up. i'll ask you how your life worked out. i'll never know that i'm just dreaming. i wake up and think dreams are real. i sleep so i don't have to feel. the truth that you can never be the one person that won't ever forget me. let me sleep some more...

2. all warm
i'll find a cave for you, for you to run to. nothing can break through stone. you'll sleep through winter. you'll never feel the cold. the years will be all warm. you'll bury yourself when you've had enough and the world will think that you've just run off. but i'll always know how you chose to go inside your stone world where winter is broken. if i could build for you, a magic retreat from seasons that break your bones, trust me i'd live too. you'll never feel the cold. the years will be all warm. you'll bury yourself when you've had enough and the world will think that you've just run off. but i'll always know how you chose to go inside your stone world where winter is broken. trust me, i would build for you a world for you. trust me, i would build for you a world for you. you'll never feel the cold. the years will be all warm. you'll bury yourself when you've had enough and the world will think that you've just run off. but i'll always know how you chose to go inside your stone world where winter is broken.

3. being your walls
pull your arms up around your knees and hide out inside your room. pretend you can't feel at all. just realize that i know how you feel now. if all i am is a distraction for you then i can't complain that you can't feel something for me. take all you can find in me. if all i am is a distraction for you then i can't complain that you can't feel something for me. take all you can find in me. can you think back to when things worked, when dreams were the days you lived, when you never cried alone? just realize that i know how you feel now. if all i am is a distraction for you then i can't complain that you can't feel something for me. take all you can find in me. i know how (know how) you feel now (you feel now). if all i am is a distraction for you then i can't complain that you can't feel something for me. take all you can find in me.

4. my town
street lights look like ribs on my block. i can forget where i am now. smiling as i pass some parked cars. i can forget where i am at. run through my town, scream till i faint, stumble around, scare kids away. worn out, i'll be asleep on the street. watch my whole town attempt to wake me. sidewalks lend their backs to my feet. i can forget where i am now. houses shut their lights as i pass. i can forget where i am at. run through my town, scream till i faint, stumble around, scare kids away. worn out, i'll be asleep on the street. watch my whole town attempt to wake me. this is the end of rotting away in the backseat. this is the end of keeping it in. they'll all know how i feel. this is the end of rotting away. i know how i feel. run through my town, scream till i faint, stumble around, scare kids away. worn out, i'll be asleep on the street. watch my whole town attempt to wake me. run through my town, scream till i faint, stumble around, scare kids away. worn out, i'll be asleep on the street. watch my whole town attempt to wake me.

6. frost and front steps
i’ll be by the front door. we’ll leave when you want. you’re having a good time. and you know me, i’ll wait around. i’m standing outside now. no one’s around. it’s so cold. my lips are numb. i’ll sit on the front steps and wonder if i will completely freeze out here. i hear you from inside, you laughing the way you do when i’m not there. and you know me, i’ll wait around. i’m standing outside now. no one’s around. it’s so cold. my lips are numb. i’ll sit on the front steps and wonder if i will completely freeze out here. i think that maybe i should get up and just drive away. i’m shivering hard now, i’m shivering hard now. my face has barely any feeling left anymore. i’m shivering hard now, i’m shivering hard now. i’m standing outside now. no one’s around. it’s so cold. my lips are numb. i’ll sit on the front steps and wonder if i will completely freeze out here. i’m standing outside now. no one’s around. it’s so cold. my lips are numb. i’ll sit on the front steps and wonder if i will completely freeze out here.

7. phantoms now
tonight at twelve, we change ourselves. forget this world we know. transparent we'll be, invisible so they won't see our hearts beat. we won't hurt a thing, we just want to haunt this house, at least for now. watch us change, kill the light. phantoms now, dead tonight. you'll be a ghost, i'll be your dream. you'll float through me, i'll disappear. you'll be a ghost, i'll be your dream. you'll float through me, i'll disappear. we'll stay in this room, sit still and enjoy the calm, we become. we'll fall down the stairs, nothing can support us now, we're not here. watch us change, kill the light. phantoms now, dead tonight. you'll be a ghost, i'll be your dream. you'll float through me, i'll disappear. you'll be a ghost, i'll be your dream. you'll float through me, i'll disappear. i'll disappear. we're not here. i'll disappear. you'll be a ghost, i'll be your dream. you'll float through me, i'll disappear. you'll be a ghost, i'll be your dream. you'll float through me, i'll understand.

8. raindrops
you appear like raindrops. and leave like you sink through the streets that you fall on, the cars that slip on you. all of this for just one night. suffocate me all you need. i won’t breathe but it’s okay. you’ll be somewhere around me and i won’t need air. the clouds will break my house and throw me from my room. i’ll drown in the rainfall and float till i find you. you appear like raindrops. and leave like you sink through the streets that you fall on, the cars that slip on you. all of this for just one night. suffocate me all you need. i won’t breathe but it’s okay. you’ll be somewhere around me and i won’t need air. and i won’t need air. and i won’t need air. and i won’t need air. and i won’t need air. suffocate me all you need. i won’t breathe but it’s okay. you’ll be somewhere around me and i won’t need air. suffocate me all you need. i won’t breathe but it’s okay. you’ll be somewhere around me and i won’t need air.

9. kind of perfect
can i just be something somewhere in your room that you won't notice? maybe i'll be paper or books thrown on your floor, move me when you want to. i'll live where you put me in your VCR if i become a cassete. or on top of your computer if that's where i would fit, then so be it. but things can't be perfect all the time, that i know. sometimes we just have to let some things go. i will not say one word, i'll just hang around. i won't annoy you at all. when you move out i'll stay until i'm thrown away. but then it won't matter. things can't be perfect all the time, that i know. sometimes we just have to let some things go. because things can't be perfect all the time, that i know. sometimes we just have to let some things go. i promise to stop now, to stop now. i promse to stop now, to stop now. but things can't be perfect all the time, that i know. sometimes we just have to let some things go. things can't be perfect all the time, that i know. sometimes we just have to let some things go. letting go is my life, i'll be on my way.

10. slip like space
watch me point to the sky. you'll laugh and say i'll never fly. i'll smile as you walk away. i always knew i couldn't stay. full throttle now, the milky way can't wait. full throttle now, the milky way can't wait. diners turn into space ports and i rocket past the moon. say your goodbyes now. i'll be in the wormhole soon. this planet wasn't made for me. all of you live so easy. i lay outside and up i stare. my home is in the void up there. diners turn into space ports and i rocket past the moon. say your goodbyes now. i'll be in the wormhole soon. approach light speed and break apart. i don't care now. nothing's real somehow. approach light speed and break apart. i don't care now. nothing's real somehow. time has turned into space ports and i rocket past the moon. say your goodbyes now. i'll be in the wormhole soon. diners turn into space ports and i rocket past the moon. say your goodbyes now. i'll be in the wormhole soon. |
