I’ve made mistakes
The Lord struck me down
Caught in a landslide
Lost underground
I hear them gates
Swing open wide
Come close to midnight
Hell sent me downAnd then my eyes got used to the darkness
And everyone that I knew
Was lost and so long forgotten after youNow would you break before you twist the knife?
Yeah, would you take my hand and take a life?
I’m too damn young to give up on the light
I’m used to the darkness
I’m used to the darkness
I’m just a man, I’m only flesh and bone
I can’t bring it back on everything I’ve done
And now there’s no-one else left to love
I’m used to the darkness
I’m used to the darknessSweet smell of roses
Have come at last
One fist of earth fights
To come join the rest
And then my eyes got used to the darkness
And everyone that I knew
Was lost and so long forgotten after youNow would you break before you twist the knife?
Yeah, would you take my hand and take a life?
I’m too damn young to give up on the light
I’m used to the darknessI’m used to the darkness
I’m just a man, I’m only flesh and bone
I can’t bring it back on everything I’ve done
And now there’s no one else left to love
I’m used to the darkness
I’m used to the darkness
I got used to the darkness too
I got used to the darkness for you
I got used to the darkness tooYes I did
Would you break before you twist the knife?
Would you take my hand and take a life?
I’m too damn young to give up on the light
I’m used to the darknessI’m used to the darkness
I’m just a man, I’m only flesh and bone
I can’t bring it back on everything I’ve done
And now there’s no-one else left to loveI’m used to the darkness
I’m used to the darkness
I’m used to the darkness
I’m used to the darkness -
When the heat of light melts into the speeding time
When the king returns to the ivory cityside
Let the Magnet Mages wave the signals
Flashing oh so fast
Then you’ll meet me there under the moonshine
In a lover’s heaven, we’ll keep our promises at last
In a lover’s heaven we’ll forget the past
Do you want to dance with me
Through one of those lonely nights
It’s more than a dream
Maybe we’re reaching the gardens of delight
Do you want to dance with me
Through one of those lonely nights
It’s more than a dream
Maybe we’re drowning in empires of delightIn the stardust dawn underneath the crystal roofs
Where the solar boys are playing games
They never lose
Where the sailors are swaying
Through the lightdomes shining in the sky
There you’ll meet me, darling, anyway
In a lover’s heaven, we’ll keep our promises at last
In a lover’s heaven we’ll forget the past -
Did you notice
We sleep through the night
Did you notice babe
Everything is alrightYou need me
Rest easy
I’m here
How weirdThought I’d hide
Maybe leave something
Secret behind
Never thought
I’d sing outsideYou need me
Rest easy
I’m here
How weird -
Paralytic Trance
there’s a specter at the end of my bed
there’s a wakefulness
there’s a book in my drawer filled with pages I ignored
a lack of reverance born into text, a malevolence
I could never repentI conjured the fantasies when I was younger
heard god call in a murmur, faith planted by my mother
but that plant wasn’t watered, and my hope never flourished
I never found a foundation in anything you worshippedNo verses just curses
bearing down on my mind as my trust worsens
you said your love for me was shadowed
by your god, your canon, i am unhallowedunhallowed
I am aloneguardian, step aside let no light shine in
I’ll sleep forever if it means I could speak to you again -
I can’t believe the way you showed everyone
Couldn’t they see what you could do, everyone?
I know it took you a while to get to California
I had no idea I was waiting on youI can’t believe the way we flow
I can’t believe the way we live together
I can’t believe the way we flow
I can’t believe the way we flowI could’ve used you in the early days
Well, it’s been such a long, long, long, long time
With the music of my mind
Most of it seems unfinished now
I can’t believe the-I can’t believe the way we flow
I can’t believe the way we live together
I can’t believe the way we flow
I can’t believe the way we flowNothing makes a sound
(When you’re not around)
When you’re not around
(You are, you are, my fear of death)
You are my fear of death
(So wave, so wave, so wave my fear of self)
You wave my fear of self
(And alone in the shore)
And alone in the shore
Despite what I was told
I’m finding I’m a smaller piece
Than I once thought
Oh, no, I really am
I really amWe follow, we flow, we flow oh no
Can’t believe the way we flow
We follow, we flow, we flow oh no
Can’t believe the way we flow
We follow, we flow, we flow oh no
Can’t believe the way we flow
We follow, we flow, we flow oh no
Can’t believe the way we flow
We follow, we flow, we flow oh no
Can’t believe the way we flow
We follow, we flow, we flow oh no
Can’t believe the way we flow -
We are moving in our own slow motion
Believing in the lies they say
We are standing with our arms wide open
And we ain’t ever looking back, we ain’t ever looking back
We are moving in our own slow motion
Believing in the lies they say
We are standing with our arms wide open
And we ain’t ever looking back, we ain’t ever looking backSo even if you tell me not to take the fall
Come in heavy handed, and I’ll take it all
A different kind of love, a deeper kind of call
Believe me when I say I’m running into walls, walls
I’m running into walls, walls
I’m running into wallsWe are spinning in an endless ocean
We are lost in an endless maze
We are grabbing at life by the throat and
We ain’t ever looking back, we ain’t ever looking back
We are spinning in an endless ocean
We are lost in an endless maze
We are grabbing at life by the throat and
And we ain’t ever looking back, we ain’t ever looking backSo even if you tell me not to take the fall
Come in heavy handed, and I’ll take it all
A different kind of love, a deeper kind of call
Believe me when I say I’m running into walls, walls
I’m running into walls, walls
I’m running into wallsSo even if you tell me not to take the fall
Come in heavy handed, and I’ll take it all
A different kind of love, a deeper kind of call
Believe me when I say I’m running into walls, walls
I’m running into walls, walls
I’m running into walls -
If you really want
I’ll become the smog around you
I’ll surround you with my love
No matter how much
How could it ever be enoughI want to take care of all your needs
I wanna give you
Everything
I wanna build a nest inside your lungs
And curl up and go to sleep as close as I can be to youKeep me
Keep me safe
I need you
More than anythingKeep me
Keep me safe
I need youTreat me like a doll
I’ll be fucking perfect
See the real me
Buried in the plasticEvery fucking day
I wake up in a panic
Spinning like a drill
I can never stop
Tearing up
Inside myselfI built myself
From barely fitting parts
Scraped up off the floorBubbling
Melting in the heat
Melting you and me togetherWhat’s this stuff?
Is it even flesh?
Is it even blood?
Is it even me?I built myself
From barely fitting parts
I still fall apart
I still fall apartKeep me
Keep me safe
I need you
More than anythingKeep me
Keep me safe
I need youTreat me like a doll
I’ll be fucking perfect
See the real me
Buried in the plasticEvery fucking day
I wake up in a panic
Spinning like a drill
I can never stop
Tearing up
Inside myself -
It was the truth
That fell from these lips
It blinded us
And then the darkness leftSo I am yours now
Respectfully
I am yours now
TruthfullyIt burnt the stain
Left on my mind
Our hearts, our hearts, they beat
A quarter tone apartCause I am yours now
Respectfully
Why can’t I do it?
You complete meOur kind is hard to find
And if it will be
It will be with youI am yours now
Respectfully
I am yours now
Truthfully -

You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Don’t pretend that you don’t knowAll the trees were made for little things that sing and fly
And the sun was made to burn so bright and light the sky
Pretty eyes were never made to cry, they were made to see
When I hold you in my arms I know that you were made for meYou were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Don’t pretend that you don’t knowAll the flowers in the field were made to please the bees
For the fishe as someone made the rivers and the seas
Every hand was made to to hold another, tenderly
When I kissed you on your lips I knew that you were made for meYou were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Don’t pretend that you don’t knowYou were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Don’t pretend that you don’t knowEvery hand was made to hold another, tenderly
When I kissed you on your lips I knew that you were made
You were made
You were made for me
