Gimme Something Good

I can't talk
My mind is so blank
So going for a walk
I've got nothing left to say

I can't see
The darkness on the rise
I'll be waiting here
Until the under tide

All my life
Been shaking
Wanting something
Holding everything I have like it was broken
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good

I was playing dead
Doesn't make a sound
Holding my breath
Going underground

So I can't talk
I got nothing to say
It's like there's no tomorrow
Barely yesterday

All my life
Been shaking
Wanting something
Holding everything I have like it was broken
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Oh no

All my life
Been shaking
Wanting something
Holding everybody back
Round and round
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Gimme something good
Oh no

Kim

I can't sleep, can't go home
Underneath the branches of a sycamore tree
On a darkened road
With this key, scratched into the wall
I spell out your name
It's f*cking with my head
F*cking with my heart

As the autumn leaves begin to fall
Walking down the street
Where you and I would walk
I see him, kim, kim, kim, kim

I can't sleep, can't let go
Underneath my feet it's miles
Nothing, there's nowhere to go
With this key, scratched into my arm
I spell out your name, it's ringing in my head
Like a false alarm

As the autumn leaves begin to fall and grey
Walking down the street
I watched you walk away
To be with him, kim, kim, kim, kim
Oh kim!

Like I never seen
Walking down the streets
We'll never walk again
Kim, kim, kim, kim
Oh kim!

Trouble

Trouble, I hear the clock tick in the room
The walls will crumble, and you're holding
The match between the fuse
There's something I just got, nothing else to say
I've been on the beats since yesterday
There's something loose, either way

Oh, we might as well be dead and be gone
If we don't belong here
Hey, the year and the day
That it lands on my face
Like I'm out of my sense
Yeah, and all the trouble I'm in
Trouble I'm in

Trouble, I feel you watch me across the room
Another summer, in the palms of the core of doom
Put my hand through the mirror like I'm guard alone
7 Years bad luck is better than none
Following the good back into the gone

Oh, we might as well be dead and be gone
If we don't belong here
Hey, the year and the day
That it lands on my face
Like I'm out of my sense
Yeah, and all the trouble I'm in
Trouble I'm in
Yeah, and all the trouble I'm in

I see my brother, he's waiting in line for his turn
I'm not as humble, I know everything here is gonna burn
Sometimes I just got nothing else to say
I've been on the beats since yesterday
There's something loose, either way

Oh, we might as well
Be dead and be gone
If we don't belong here
Hey, the year and the day
That it lands on my face
Like I'm out of my sense

Yeah, and all the trouble I'm in
Yeah, all the trouble
Yeah, and all the trouble I'm in
Yeah, all the trouble
All the trouble,
All the trouble I'm in

Am I Safe

All these things keep running through my mind
Everyone and everything I left behind
Standing in the cold great dark
Watching cars go by
And all these things keep running
Through my mind

Am I safe? Am I safe?
Am I safe?
If I don't wanna be with you

Every day my part seems like a stone
Carries me away into the undertone
Like a bottom, there's no air
There's no sound, no light
And all these things keep running
Through my mind

Am I safe? Am I safe?
Am I safe? If I don't wanna be with you
Am I safe? Am I safe?
Am I safe? If I don't wanna be with you

On my way back on my sea of part over
Close my eyes
What if there was nothing
It's complicated
I just don't love you anymore
I just wanna sit here and watch it burn
Sit and watch it burn

Sitting look at someone through the world
Running from myself like when I was in???
Pictures in on the wall, when we used to smile
All these things keep running
Through my mind

Am I safe? Am I safe?
Am I safe? If I don't wanna be with you
Am I safe? Am I safe?
Am I safe? If I don't wanna be with you
If I don't wanna be with you

My Wrecking Ball

Driving through the streets tonight
It's hot, I've got the windows down
I wish I could call you, I wish you were still around
Nothing much left in the tank
Somehow this thing still drives
Think I forgot what it needed but somehow still survive
And all the walls we built they must come down

But hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and knock me down, come and knock me down
Come and knock me down tonight

Lying in the bed at night
Feeling like I'm somebody else
My thoughts inside my head get lost inside the haunted house
Everyone I used to know left their dreams by the door
I accidentally kick 'em and talk until you're still not sure
If you want to sell them out at all

Well hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you're my wrecking ball won't you come and knock me down, come and knock me down
Come and knock me down tonight
Come and knock me down, come and knock me down, come and knock me down tonight
Come and knock me down, come and knock me down, come and knock me down tonight
Come and knock me down, come and knock me down, come and knock me down tonight

Driving through the streets tonight
It's hot, I've got the windows down
I wish I could call you, I wish you were still around

Stay With Me

Love when you call my name
It sends me running into the flame
I love you baby, just treat me right
Hold me closer in the middle of the night
I love you girl, and it's alright
Stay with me

Are you waiting, are you standing guard?
There's nothing they can steal from us
That isn't always yours
I love you baby, just treat me right
Hold me closer in the middle of the night
I love you girl, and it's alright
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me

Like the speed of sound, or the speed of light
When you say my name, it feels so right
In the middle of the night
When you call my name
Don't worry, it's okay

I love you baby, just treat me right
Hold me closer in the middle of the night
I love you girl, and it's alright
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me

Shadows

I fall, in the cutting room
Straight to the fall, before the film is through
Today in my head, that field of reason why
Come a little closer, honey
And touch the fire

How long do I have here with you?
The flowers that once were a new
Shadows

Heaven waits, in the darkness of a room
And the shaking at the gates,
From here to Timbaktu
Cold front rolls in, like a black balloon
And it sinks into your soul
And you tell it what you knew

How long do I have here with you?
How long do I have here with you?
How long?
The flowers that once were anew
Shadows

The mystery of the stars
That fell from your eyes
Watch it as it burns
Like I'm sitting on fire
That mountain is tall
And you know you'll have to climb
Put your arms around me
And let's go for a ride

How long do I have here with you?
How long do I have here with you?
How long?
The flowers that once were anew
Before the shadows

Feels Like Fire

Are you there?
Screaming in the night
Somewhere
Hanging from the side

Feel the sunlight
The sunlight on my face
It's cold out here
Lost in outer space

Just so you know
You will always be the hardest thing I will let go
Driving past your church and all the houses in a row
The feeling in my chest is fire
Broken glass and wire

See my smile?
I'm thinking of the days
Light reflecting in your eyes
It was never the same

I wanna lie down
I wanna ride in your car
You can take me anywhere
Roll us into heaven I don't care

Just so you know
You will always be the hardest thing I will let go
Driving past your church and all the houses in a row
The feeling in my chest is fire

Just so you know
Don't let anybody tell you
You can't say
What you want
I can hear you
Are you on your way?
The feeling in my chest is fire
It feels like fire
Broken glass and wire
It feels like fire

I feel a scream
Someplace in my chest
And I pour my thoughts
Down the drain in my head

The lens is broke
There ain't no one inside
Staring through the screen
Looking back at my f*cking life

Just so you know
You will always be the hardest thing I will let go
Driving past your church and all the houses in a row
The feeling in my chest is fire

Just so you know
Don't let anybody tell you
You can't say
What you want
I can hear you
Are you on your way?
Someone take me home tonight
It feels like fire
It feels like fire
It feels like fire
Broken glass and wire

I Just Might

Are you there?
Screaming in the night
Somewhere
Hanging from the side

Feel the sunlight
The sunlight on my face
It's cold out here
Lost in outer space

Just so you know
You will always be the hardest thing I will let go
Driving past your church and all the houses in a row
The feeling in my chest is fire
Broken glass and wire

See my smile?
I'm thinking of the days
Light reflecting in your eyes
It was never the same

I wanna lie down
I wanna ride in your car
You can take me anywhere
Roll us into heaven I don't care

Just so you know
You will always be the hardest thing I will let go
Driving past your church and all the houses in a row
The feeling in my chest is fire

Just so you know
Don't let anybody tell you
You can't say
What you want
I can hear you
Are you on your way?
The feeling in my chest is fire
It feels like fire
Broken glass and wire
It feels like fire

I feel a scream
Someplace in my chest
And I pour my thoughts
Down the drain in my head

The lens is broke
There ain't no one inside
Staring through the screen
Looking back at my fucking life

Just so you know
You will always be the hardest thing I will let go
Driving past your church and all the houses in a row
The feeling in my chest is fire

Just so you know
Don't let anybody tell you
You can't say
What you want
I can hear you
Are you on your way?
Someone take me home tonight
It feels like fire
It feels like fire
It feels like fire
Broken glass and wire

Tired Of Giving Up

I'm tired of giving up so easy
Tired of giving up at all
Tired of giving up so easy
Tired of giving up at all

Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said nothing at all
And I'm tired of giving up

And I'm tired of fighting
I don't understand at all
And I'm tired of lying
Tired of trying to hide it

Tired of giving up so easy
Tired of giving up at all
Tired of giving up so easy
Tired of giving up at all

Is that all you can say?
You're so wild and full of rage
Keep running away, you're running

Suppose I try to love you
Something I don't know
Sometimes you know there ain't telling you, so don't

I'm tired of giving up so easy
Tired of giving up at all
Tired of giving up so easy
Tired of giving up at all

Is that all you can say?
You're so wild and full of rage
Keep running away, you're running
You're running, running
Running, running

Let Go

Pink as a rose the sun is fading
Can you feel the darkness that surrounds the house
Plane as the truth my breath is bated
It pinches like a trap shut around the mouse

But down the road 'cause we fell in
But down the road
Hanging round the wish-it-well
It's a slippery slope
And I let go, let go, let go, let go

Away

Driving at night beside the river
Looking at as it's going nowhere
Dark as a room with the light shut out
I'm feeling round the walls for another way out

But down the road 'cause we fell in
But down the road
Hanging round the wish-it-well
It's a slippery slope
And I let go, let go, let go, let go

Cross your fingers behind your back
And lie
Tell me it's okay if you'll fix everything
'Cause I let go

Pink as a rose the sunsets fading
Shattering the light on the oceanside
Standing alone, I am not waiting
Maybe I'm asleep, my heart is paralyzed

Down the road 'cause we fell in
But down the road
Hanging round the wish-it-well
It's a slippery slope
And I let go, let go, let go, let go
