You're Not Dead

I don't know what's gonna give way first
My ragged throat or my pure penchant for thirst
I struggle to take care of all of my needs
And I'm wondering where to go now
All that I thought that I needed is just about
Impossible for somebody with doubts
That anyone other than me and some friends
Is interested now
Sing until you feel like passing out
Doesn't have to be beautiful
Just shout shout shout
It's ok if you get a light head
You're not dead, you're not dead, you're not dead
There's no way I'll ever notice a finish line
Synapses, impulses, strictly defined
I couldn't sleep for the rest of my life
Without leaving it all on the floor
Sing until you feel like passing out
Doesn't have to be beautiful
Just shout, shout, shout
It's ok if you get a light head
You're not dead, you're not dead, you're not dead

Keep Away

I don't know why I keep reaching for the sky
Like if I don't touch the stars then they're gonna fall down and die
Is it weird that I don't disappear?
I could run around the block, but I end up back here
I thought I'd know by now
(Fingers are losing feeling)
How to keep my cool somehow
(Spinning up to the ceiling)
With the way I surrender myself a pretender
I could lay my head right down, too tired to play
Keep away
I got no place that I can leave a trace
I'm just a fleeting snapshot memory to be replaced
You gotta stick around, we gotta drink em down
I gotta spin my wheels all night until I'm underground
I thought I'd know by now
(Fingers are losing feeling)
How to keep my cool somehow
(Spinning up to the ceiling)
With the way I surrender myself a pretender
I could lay my head right down, too tired to play
Keep away
I try to keep my friends close to me
Enemies imaginary
Hammer it into my mind, strengthen my twisted spine
Maybe someday I'll end up fine
I thought I'd know by now
(Fingers are losing feeling)
How to keep my cool somehow
(Spinning up to the ceiling)
With the way I surrender myself a pretender
I could lay my head right down, too tired to play
Keep away

Try To Stay On My Side
04:00

Hey, the crowd is thinning quickly
Hey, it kinda trips me out sometimes
But it's all in my head, all in my head
Just like you said
And I can never get out, never get out
It's all wasted
Every sunset's overwhelming
Little freakouts every evening
One more day achieving nothing
Suddenly, sunrise, it starts again
Hey, the room is spinning swiftly
Hey, I try to slow it down sometimes
But the harder I try, the harder I try
To squint these eyes
The less familiar it seems, something from a dream
I try to recognize
Every sunset's overwhelming
Little freakouts every evening
One more day achieving nothing
Suddenly, sunrise, it starts again
Try to stay on my side
Try to stay on my side
Try to stay on my side
Try to stay on my side

New Lines
03:36

In the back of my mind, I guess I must have known
That the photographs wouldn't make it easier
Where are you now? Who have we become?
With new lines that don't tell us anything
To all my friends, we'll meet again
To all my friends, we'll meet again
Back in the day, a few seconds ago
I lost myself chasing who I used to be
To love every day as soon as it goes by
To get new lines before we get older
To all my friends, we'll meet again
To all my friends, we'll meet again
There was a time that I had confidence
That I could do some good in this world
But lately it feels like I'm just walking around
Fuck
To all my friends, we'll meet again
To all my friends, we'll meet again

All About The Good Times
02:46

I've been living under your skin
Sometimes I wanna start over again
Sometimes I wanna start over again
You have taken some things the wrong way
Shit, that wasn't what I wanted to say
It all comes out the wrong way
We should be all about the good times
Anxieties left behind
Kicking past those landmines
Cause it doesn't have to be shit
Even in some harder times all I want is you
And I wouldn't stay alive
Because in these crumbling times I reach for you
You get me through my doomsdays
I wanna say goodbye to any malaise
Let's chase this always

Daylight
03:40
|

|
It starts right now and it changes everything
The manic sounds of the underground
They've been steadily rising
We may not have long, just a little while at best
To find a counterpart for these heavy hearts
They've been stretching out our chests
We are still young but the clocks are spinning fast
We're paid in full, we're out of control
We're never gonna last
And can you feel it coming? The crushing unknown
At times like these we're gonna freeze
If we're out there on our own
Who do you think of when you listen to God Only Knows?
Find that one tonight
Hold that body tight
I don't really feel like being all alone
It's a matter of time, it's a matter of daylight
My hands in the air, I'm afraid of the fall
I'm just trying to reach, I'm just trying to feel alright
Who do you think of when you listen to God Only Knows?
Find that one tonight

Songs In The Kitchen
03:43
|

We fill our homes with bodies and liquor in the winter
We huddle up with dreams that blur
We throw our heavy hearts in a pile and wait for them to melt
Right when the sunlight stirs
When it stirs
We hope with every ounce of our bodies the road will not end
No matter how many times it turns
We work all day and at night we play, then we lay our heads down
Right when the sunlight stirs
When it stirs
We fill our souls with luggage and litter
Sometimes we wish we were just a little bit bigger
We'll never get old, we'll never be bitter
We'll never forget songs in the kitchen, singing them over
Over and over
Sometimes it feels like we're changing lanes
