Lyrics
1. If Only We Could Sleep
YOU BELONG BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY
OR JUST SOMEONE ELSE WHO KNOWS
HOW TO TELL YOU WHAT IT’S LIKE
TO FEEL THIS WAY BECAUSE I CAN’T FIND THE WORDS
ABLE MINDED MEN HAVE TRIED BEFORE ME
AND JUST FALLEN OFF THE WORLD
NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN
AND NOW YOU’RE OFF DESTROYING WHERE IT HURTS
IF ONLY WE KNEW WHERE YOUR WEAK SPOT WAS
WE’D FIND AND DESTROY IT BEFORE MORE LIVES WERE LOST AND WE COULD SLEEP
IF ONLY WE COULD SLEEP
I’VE BEEN KNOWN TO CHANGE A LINE OR TWO
BEFORE I SAY WHAT’S ON MY MIND
LEAVING ME FOR DEAD UNTIL YOU TELL ME THAT I’M ACTUALLY ALIVE
MAYBE PLANS’LL CHANGE AND MAYBE NOT
I GUESS IT’S ON THE UNIVERSE
BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY I’D RATHER BE THE ONE THAT’S DRIVING IN THE HEARSE
IF ONLY WE KNEW WHERE YOUR WEAK SPOT WAS
WE’D FIND AND DESTROY IT BEFORE MORE LIVES WERE LOST AND WE COULD SLEEP
IF ONLY WE COULD SLEEP
CAREFREE AND CARELESS AND CAREFUL TO STAY AS SUCH.
I NEVER THOUGHT IT COULD TUG AT MY STRINGS AS MUCH.
AND NOW WE DON’T SLEEP
IF ONLY WE COULD SLEEP
2. YOU WON’T REMEMBER ME
IF ALL YOU ARE IS EVERYTHING TO ME
THEN I SHOULD KNOW THAT I CAN LOSE IT ALL
IF EVERYTHING’S AS SIMPLE AS IT SEEMS
THEN WINTER THAWS AND THINGS GROW TALL
AND I’M ALONE FOR SUMMER’S CALL
BECAUSE I REFUSED TO CARE AT ALL
AND THEN LEAVES’LL TURN AND START TO FALL
AND YOU WON’T REMEMBER ME.
I GOT HIGH SO HIGH
AND I DROVE AROUND THE COUNTRY
IN THE OLD ECONOLINE
PUT UP BILLBOARD SIGNS
PUT THEM EVERYWHERE YOU’D BE
BIG AS LIFE AND IN 3D
BUT BABY, YOU WON’T REMEMBER ME.
WHEN EVERYTHING’S YOUR ENEMY IT SEEMS
AND ALL YOUR DEMONS CHASE YOU TO THE TREES
YOU WON’T SAY A WORD OF WHAT YOU MEAN
AND YOU RECALL THE PLACES ALL
THAT YOU WOULD RUN INSTEAD OF FALL
BECAUSE FACING IT MIGHT CLIMB THE WALL
SO TAKE TO KNEES AND START TO CRAWL
AND YOU WON’T REMEMBER ME.
3. JUST BECAUSE
TRYING TO BE ALL THE THINGS THAT I THINK THEY WOULD WANT ME TO BE SO THEY’RE NOT OUT OF MY LEAGUE.
HIDE IN THE WEEDS.
THEY CAN’T SEE THAT I’M NOT OUT THERE CHASING THEIR DREAMS.
CUT ME AND ALL ACTUALLY BLEED.
FIND LOVE, JUST BECAUSE
IT’S THE THING YOU DO WHEN YOU GROW UP.
MY LOVE, LISTEN UP.
SHOES ON YOUR FEET, RUNAWAY EASY.
BUT WE BOTH KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
ALONE IN THIS WORLD, YOU WILL BE.
FIND LOVE, JUST BECAUSE
IT’S THE THING YOU DO WHEN YOU GROW UP.
MY LOVE, LISTEN UP.
TRY LOVE, LIKE A DRUG.
IT’S THE ONE THING YOU KNOW DREAM OF.
WHY LOVE? CAUSE IT KNOWS.
WHAT YOU WANT, AND YOU NEED, WHAT YOU ARE, ALL THAT YOU NEVER WILL BE; HOW TO GET YOU ON YOUR KNEES.
ALL THOSE THINGS WE NEVER SAY.
AND THE WAYS WE RUN AWAY. THEY JUST MAKE IT YESTERDAY.
4. FALL ON THE BLADE
I MADE THIS BED OF MINE SO WELL THAT I CAN’T LIE IN IT
I GAVE IN AWHILE, OH WELL.
BUT I’M STILL TRYING IT.
YOU THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN FORGET ABOUT
YOU SAID A LOT OF THINGS AND WE NEVER TALKED IT OUT.
YOU SHOULD BE COMING CLEAN WHENEVER YOU’RE READY.
SO FALL ON THE BLADE. I’LL HOLD IT STEADY.
I GAVE A SHIT AND I DON’T KNOW IF IT WAS MINE TO GIVE
THESE DAYS WE LIVE AND DIE SO WELL THAT THERE’S NO TIME TO LIVE
YOU THINK IT’S OVER BUT IT’S NOT
YOU NEED TO COME AROUND.
I’LL TELL EM EVERYTHING AND YOU’LL NEVER LIVE IT DOWN
YOU SHOULD BE COMING CLEAN WHENEVER YOU’RE READY.
SO FALL ON THE BLADE. I’LL HOLD IT STEADY.
5. MARY SHELLEY
BIG FISH SWIMMING IN A MIDWEST POND
MY STUFF IS ALL STACKED ON THE LAWN
ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION YET?
THE STABLE EYES AND THE SHAKY JAW
CAN’T BREAK MY HEART WITHOUT BREAKING A LAW
ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION YET?
IT’S ENTIRELY DOWN TO YOU AND ME
WE SCARED ALL THE OTHERS OFF
WE CAN WAIT AND SEE IF WE DON’T BELIEVE
BUT I CAN STILL SMELL THE EXHAUST
ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION YET?
THE SAVING GRACE, THE FATAL FLAW
BUT YOU CAN’T MAKE HEADLINES AT ALL
ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION YET?
SO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK YOU SAW
AND I’LL TELL YOU THAT IT’S MY FAULT
ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION YET?
6. SLOW CRASH
FREE FROM YOU, I LONG TO BE
FREE FROM TRUTH, YOU’VE TAKEN ME
IN SO DEEP, IT SENDS ME TO SPIN
THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU
AND I FEEL THAT I’M SINKING IN
COME DOWN, LET GO.
I HOLD ON TO YOU.
THE WORDS YOU SPEAK ARE SMASHED IN THE AIR.
THEY’RE RIPPED FROM YOUR THROAT
AND DON’T EVER GO ANYWHERE
LOST IN THOUGHT, SUSPENDED IN DREAMS
I’M TOSSED IN YOUR CIRCUS
AND YOU DO WHATEVER YOU PLEASE
COME DOWN, LET GO.
I HOLD ON TO YOU.
YOU CRASH SO SLOW
I HOLD ON TO YOU
7. THE VERY LONG NIGHT
HAD A GOOD RUN OF BAD DAYS, NEVER ENOUGH
STUCK AROUND LIKE A STICK, LIKE A STICK IN THE MUD.
AND YOU’LL STILL HAVE ME
ANYWAY YOU CAN GRAB ME
WOULDN’T KNOW BY THE WAY YOU WERE LAPPING IT UP
THAT YOU DON’T BELIEVE WHEN I’M SELLING YOU STUFF
AND YOU’LL BE HAPPY
AS LONG AS YOU STILL HAVE ME
FOR THE NIGHT
FOR THE VERY LONG NIGHT
IT’S NOT RIGHT
NO NO NO IT’S JUST NOT RIGHT
PRETTY SOON I ASSUME THAT YOU FIGURE IT OUT
MAKING MOVES FORE THE WORLD STARTS FALLING DOWN
ALL AROUND YOU
AND THEN NOBODY CAN SAVE YOU
MOVE AWAY, GET A DOG AND A HAPPENING JOB
YOU’LL BE RIGHT YOU’LL BE RIGHT
AS THE RAIN FALL FOR AWHILE
UNTIL THE SUN LEAVES
THEN I EXPECT YOU TO CALL ME
8. KILLING THE VIBE
ARE YOU STANDING IN THE WAY OF FATE?
BEING SAFE WITH THE MOVES YOU MAKE?
MAYBE IT’S A CHANCE YOU TAKE THAT SETS IT OFF.
FEEING RIPE FOR A GOOD MISTAKE.
IS THE BOUGH SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BREAK?
SEEMS LIKE THERE’S A LOT AT STAKE IF IT FALLS.
AND NOW THERE’S HOLES IN THE WALL
YOU STAND TRIAL FOR KILLING THE VIBE
SAID YOU WERE MILES FROM THE SCENE AT OF THE CRIME
BUT YOU’RE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR ALIBI.
IF IT’S A DAY IN THE SUN YOU CRAVE
THEN BABY, WHY YOU TRYING TO MAKE IT RAIN?
YOU GOT WAY FEWER WARS TO WAGE THEN YOU KNOW
AND NOW THERE’S HOLES IN THE WALL
AND NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THEM AT ALL
YOU STAND TRIAL FOR KILLING THE VIBE
SAID YOU WERE MILES FROM THE SCENE AT THE TIME.
BUT YOU’RE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR ALIBI.
THE FRUIT ISN’T RIPE, IT SHOULD STAY ON THE VINE
DON’T THINK YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE
WHEN YOU’RE ONLY HEARING THE WORDS YOU LIVE BY
IT’S A COLD THAT YOU JUST CAN’T SHAKE
LEAVE ON TIME BUT YOU’RE ALWAYS LATE
THERE’S A WAVE FOR YOU IN THIS WAKE
AND IT’S COMING ALONG.
9. NOT ANOTHER DIME
IT’S NOT THE BEGINNING. AND IT’S NOT FINE.
NOBODY’S WINNING
AND I DON’T NEED TO KEEP YOU AROUND OR SPEND ANOTHER DIME
I DON’T FEEL PITY
I USE MY SPINE
NOBODY’S WINNING
AND I DON’T NEED TO KEEP YOU AROUND OR SPEND ANOTHER DIME
YOU KNOW YOU ROLL THE DICE AND THEN YOU WALK AWAY
SOMETIMES THE WHOLE EMPIRE CAN BURN FOR A MISTAKE
FOR ALL THE TIMES YOU WENT AWAY
FOR EVERY NIGHT, ANOTHER DAY
THE BENDS A BEND UNTIL IT BREAKS
I DON’T FEEL PITY
I USE MY SPINE
NOBODY’S WINNING
AND I DON’T NEED TO KEEP YOU AROUND OR SPEND ANOTHER DIME
CAN’T STOP THE LEAVES FROM FALLING
WINTER IS NEIGH
THE SUN IS SETTING ON IT
AND I DON’T NEED TO TELL YOU A WHO, A WHAT, A WHERE OR WHY.
I KNOW YOU’LL FIND ANOTHER WAY
TO STAY RELEVANT IN THE GAME
THE RULES ARE CHANGING EVERY DAY
TO NEW BEGINNINGS
AND BETTER TIMES
THE WORLD KEEPS SPINNING
BUT I DON’T NEED TO KEEP YOU AROUND OR SPEND ANOTHER DIME
