Music

Upside down
Like a word that’s hung to the inside of an empty promise zip tied to your mouth
Tongue tied now
By the weightless shock of a nightfall looming over you when the lightbulb burns you out
Like a flame
You see the face but you can’t remember the name
It’s a constant state of worn out phrases
Do-do-do-do-do

Tip toe out From the backdoor down to the basement where your funny faces always made me frown
And when I’m down
I’ll dance in a fever cold and calm
With a sewn on smile and feet swollen and numb
Like a vein
You see the face but you can’t remember the name
It’s a constant state of worn out phrases
Waiting on the same sun,
I’m going numb!

And it doesn't get better
It just gets twice as bad, because you let it
So you better get numb to it
Get numb to it!
Get numb to it!

Twenty years spent above this place
You could smell the iron from the room
And the train was running through the window
Carrying a pillow
So I could lay my head down onto you

Dirty drawers and an awful stench
A stomach made of stick and glue
A fortress built between the four rooms
Huddled in a dorm room
You took it out of me

And your teeth hurt more than the day before
It’s time to get another job
Four feet between a wall and window will make your wife a widow
So throw your arms around me

Now I don’t know where we go from here
I spent one year and I gave it up
A sickness that brought you to your parents
A life of only errands will make a fool out of ya

And your teeth hurt more than the day before
It’s time to get another job
Four feet between a wall and window will make your wife a widow
So throw your arms around me

The truth is hard to bare
So we’ll be waiting here ‘til sundown
Seems it only comes now when we’re staring away from it
Na na na na na na na na na
Four feet between a wall and window will make your wife a widow
So throw your arms around me

Where we’ve been, where we go from here
Take your weight and throw your arms around me

You were running through the backyard
Said the puddles were the ocean
Now the smell of rainy days always remind me of you

Took a ride into the west side
To see the city with your own eyes
But the flicker of the light was too bright
You got back into the car

Ella, Ella you’re a shooting star

Open water by your bedside
Broke a promise that I stand by
Go to sleep and dip your feet in
You’ll see, the ocean isn’t far

Ella, Ella you’re a shooting star
A floating ballerina through the yard
Ella we’ll remember who you are
Love for you is always in my heart

Time ticks into place
And lets you out in your old room
Mind begins to race
I haven’t done what I came to do-ooo-ooo-no

I haven’t said what I mean to say
Haven't done what I mean to do
‘Cause every coward looks away
From all the light crashing through

Fall breaks, winter stays
The constant crush of a cold room
Mind begins to race
I haven’t done what I came to do-ooo-ooo-no

I haven’t said what I mean to say
Haven't done what I mean to do
‘Cause every coward looks away
From all the light crashing…
I haven’t said what I mean to say
Haven't done what I mean to do
‘Cause every coward looks away
From all the light crashing through

Where we’ve been, where we go from here
Take your weight and throw your arms around me

We’re either too old, too bold, or stupid to move
I guess we’re caught on the wrong side of the shoe again

Heads down, we were left out alone
Stretch out, laying pressed upon the lawn
When the time comes, we’ll arise from the freeze
And we’ll be face down, when the suns out
Turing crimson into chrome

I’m sitting here writing the same sad song
With the cogs on fire spinning on and on ‘til I’m old and tired
Even then I’m on fire

We’re either too old, too bold, or stupid to move
I guess we’re caught on the wrong side of the shoe again

I’m sitting here writing the same sad song
With the cogs on fire spinning on and on ‘til I’m old and tired
Even then I’m on fire

Watching us settle to fade in the dust
It’s a shame, it’s a crime, it’s much too much to hold, I’m tired
But hey I’m on fire

We’re either too old, too bold, or stupid to move
I guess we’re caught on the wrong side of the shoe again

Time ticks into place
And lets you out in your old room
Mind begins to race
I haven’t done what I came to do-ooo-ooo-no

Ella we’ll remember who you are
Love for you is always in my heart

We walk through alleys in the dark
(we walk)
And never say enough
Tip toe and balance on a star
(we walk)
The sun is still a spark

Starting to believe
The puzzle never solves
Because it’s all…

Chemical

We walk through alleys in the dark
(we walk)
And never say enough
Tip toe and balance on a star
(we walk)
The sun is still a spark

Heaven is out there
Middle of nowhere
Hiding away until it’s time
There in your old room an angel had told you
Half of it’s yours and half is mine

Someday we’ll lay statues of our own
For now we’ll bow to memories made of stone

Hopped on the L train
Took it to your place
Severed the space between our tongues
Lept from the platform
Ran to your backdoor
I was a loner for so long…

Someday we’ll lay statues of our own
For now we’ll bow to memories made of stone
(Heaven is out there, middle of nowhere, hiding away until it’s time)

I’ll run, I’ll fight
I’ll sail the night
I’ll tuck your sheets
Beneath my feet

Until I'm with you again
Remember this my friend
That I’ll be with you again
I know it’s hard my friend

I’ll laugh, I’ll plead
I’ll scrape my knees
I’ll light the stove
In case you come home

Until I’m with you again
I know it’s hard my friend
But I’ll be with you again
Remember this ‘til then

I’ll write a song
You’ll sing along
I’ll laugh, you’ll cry
Our world inside a song

Until I’m with you again
I know it’s hard my friend
But I’ll be with you again Remember this my friend

Upside down
Like a word that’s hung to the inside of an empty promise zip tied to your mouth
Tongue tied now
By the weightless shock of a nightfall looming over you when the lightbulb burns you out
Like a flame
You see the face but you can’t remember the name
It’s a constant state of worn out phrases
Do-do-do-do-do

Tip toe out From the backdoor down to the basement where your funny faces always made me frown
And when I’m down
I’ll dance in a fever cold and calm
With a sewn on smile and feet swollen and numb
Like a vein
You see the face but you can’t remember the name
It’s a constant state of worn out phrases
Waiting on the same sun,
I’m going numb!

And it doesn't get better
It just gets twice as bad, because you let it
So you better get numb to it
Get numb to it!
Get numb to it!

I’ve had better days, this I can’t deny
And when I saw your face, I couldn’t help but cry
I’m riding on a wave, biting the abyss
Shallowing my faith, to better buy my bliss

Then the morning came and crushed me
The cardinal dropped his crown
Someone else, instead of me Killed all of their doubt
Jesus where’s my fight now?

I’ve had better days, but none quite like this
The battle in my eyes is stuck between my lips

Then the evening came, and punished me
The cardinal hit the ground
Someone else, instead of me
Figured it all out
Niko where’s your fight now?

The sunlight rushes in
White walls say everything
A dark dimple on the bed
Marks where you’d lay your head
And it goes

In and out an end that I’ll begin to live within
and out an end that I’ll begin to live within
and out an end that I’ll begin to live within
and out an end that I’ll begin to live with

I can hear a symphony
Moving in and out of me
And as it circles towards the sun
The notes bend to break and burnnnnnn

In and out an end that I’ll begin to live within
and out an end that I’ll begin to live within
and out an end that I’ll begin to live within
and out an end that I’ll begin to live with
and out an end that I’ll begin to live within
and out an end that I’ll begin to live within
and out an end that I’ll begin to live with…...

I don’t wanna know where I’m going
Open up a bit, let the rain in
Every little word, all the people
Were only worth as much as you made them to be

In this sea of dying stars
You can show them endless heart
But it always hurts the same as doing twice as much
But moving half as faaaaarrrr

I don’t really care where I’m going
Open up a bit, let the rain in

You can sell me for a buck
Put an ad on the TV
Throw me in the trash it really doesn’t mean that much to me In this sea of dying stars
You can show them endless heart
But it always hurts the same as doing twice as much
But moving half as faaaaaarrr

I have lost a friend, though we’ve always been
drifting apart
If you’re lost at sea, hope you find your peace
Where you are

The smell of chalk on the crosswalk
The blurred apartments we cried
We found ourselves in a cycle
Every night
A love withheld in the night will
Lose its sight
Of every morning arrangement
For which we never had time
We fell in love with a stasis
Into my
Three hundred stairs to a safe place
Only we can find

The brightest clouds in the sky
Are pushed away by the wind
The greatest thing in my life
Was swept away by one thing

We thought that everything grew straight
With proper loving and time
But nothing comes from a safe place
Nothing right
And nearly everything take shape when you find

The brightest clouds in the sky
Are pushed away by the wind
The greatest thing in my life
Was swept away by one thing

Can I see you again?

Sprinting so fast he had come to his senses at last
But procrastination got him stuck at the station
Thoughts start to twirl like a dancer on bloody toes
An electric world circus created by a brain circuit

Holdin on people, wasting away
Loosen up evil, just for today

Ramblers and scramblers crawl up to your feet
(Are you ready now? Are you ready now?)
Vision is changing a feverish dream
(Are you ready now? Are you ready now?)
Ahh watch it now!

A crowd of people look down on you
As they scrape off the track what remains of you

Sprinting so fast he had come to his senses at last
But procrastination got him stuck at the statioooonnnn

Are you ready now? (ahhhhh)
Are you ready now? (ahhhhh)
Are you ready now? (ahhhhh)
Are you ready now?

Holdin on people, wasting away
Loosen up evil, just for today
Holdin on people, wasting away
Loosen up evil, just for today
Holdin on peeooooople
Holdin on peeooooople ooooo
