Before I Fail
04:00
|
|||
The underground starts over here
Roots that go under the space in between
Running the road
The track to go back
Digging up roses for love is a hack
Sounds in my head deafen the mind
I only do this because I’m unkind
I only do this because it’s sublime
Before I Fail
I can’t even decide
Before I Fail
I’m losing my mind
Before I Fail you
Before I Fail me
The underground bleeds through the trees
Rivers run and meander under the streets
Dragging the mud
With all of the slack
Bringing up the past again is a knack
Nouns in my speech go silent
I only do this because you’re around
I only do this because I’m unsound
Before I Fail
I can’t even decide
Before I Fail
I’m losing my mind
Before I Fail you
Before I Fail me
Before I Fail you
Before I Fail me
The underground starts over there
Before I Fail
I can’t even decide
Before I Fail
I’m losing my mind
Before I Fail you
Before I Fail me

Long Time
03:44
|
|||
Crashing out without a thought
There is no problem
There was a time
When you’d have run out
It’s been a long time
Long time
It’s been a long time
Long time
Smashing it without a care
Where is the problem
Where was the crime
When hope was not lost
It’s been a long time
Long time
It’s been a long time
Long time
Dashing around like a fool
Here is the problem
Here was a sign
That hope is not lost
It’s been a long time
Long time
It’s been a long time
Long time

Versus
03:30
|

Longhand
Telepathic communication of the mind
Strawberries picked with a spoon
Artificial intelligence drags us down
Versus you versus me
Wonder why we can’t see
Versus you versus me
Versus you versus me
Shorthand
Photographic saturation of the eyes
Singers useless without auto-tune
With the future shock of not knowing we frown
Versus you versus me
Wonder why we can’t see
Versus you versus me
Versus you versus me
We are useless
Out of date now
We are useless
The robots are in town
Versus you versus me
Wonder why we can’t see
Versus you versus me
Versus you versus me
Versus you versus me
Wonder why we can’t see
Versus you versus me
Versus you versus me
Versus you versus me
Wonder why we can’t see
Versus you versus me
Versus you versus me

Yearn
04:25
|

Yearn, Yearn, Yearn
Yearn, Yearn, Yearn
I yearn
Yearn for you
I yearn
Yearn for you to be home
Power failure on the road
Curtails the route home
The wheels still turning
The wheels still turning
Round around round
They never stop like I never stop
I yearn
Yearn for you
I yearn
Yearn for you to be home
The candle is dimmer
Fire nearly burned out
The time has come
There is no way out
Now a star has gone out
The road is shorter than we thought
Wheels stopped turning
A wheel has come off
Stop stopped stop
They have stopped like I never stop
I yearn
Yearn for you
I yearn
Yearn for you to be home
I yearn
Yearn for you
I yearn
Yearn for you to be home

Rain Falls Down
03:58
|

What goes up
Where does it go
Where does it go oh
Never wanted you to go
Not in a million years I thought
It would end this way ay ay
Rain falls down
Rain falls down
What goes up
Must come down yeah
Must it come down down
Must it come down on you
Nowhere at all inside here we bought
The lies that she cried and died
Rain falls down
Rain falls down
Rain it falls down hard
On your face so hard
Rain it falls down hard
Rain falls down
What goes up
Where does it go
Where does it go oh
Never wanted you to go
Not in a million years I thought
It would end this way ay ay
Rain falls down
Rain falls down
Rain it falls down hard
On your face so hard
Rain it falls down hard
Rain falls down

Hear You Not
03:27
|

I hear you not
Hear you not
I hear you not
Hear you not
Before the war
When things were better
Playground games were the best
We had lemonade when ill
We were allowed to grow up
All we had to do was keep still
When danger came around
I hear you not
Hear you not
I hear you not
Hear you not
I hear you not
Hear you not
I hear you not
Hear you not
Back in the day
Like in the movies
Strangers were your friends
They were there for you
In your darkest hour of need
All we had to do was keep still
When danger came around
I hear you not
Hear you not
I hear you not
Hear you not
I hear you not
Hear you not
I hear you not
Hear you not
By the way
I hope things get better
Now the danger is past
We were there for you
I know you were not happy as
All you had to do was keep still
When danger came
I hear you not
Hear you not
I hear you not
Hear you not
I hear you not
Hear you not
I hear you not
Hear you not

Fury Of This Heart

Fury of this heart
Take what you want
It won't be around for long
Somethings got you started
You know
Making do with nothing
There is nothing like the
Fury of this heart
Fury of this heart
Fury of this heart
You can't beat the
Fury of this heart
You won't understand the
Fury of this heart
Need what you say
It don't matter anyway
When things get you down and
You cry
Taking hold of something
There is nothing like the
Fury of this heart
Fury of this heart
Fury of this heart
You can't beat the
Fury of this heart
You won't understand the
Fury of this heart
Take what you want
It won't be around for long
Somethings got you started
You know
Making do with nothing
There is nothing like the
Fury of this heart
Fury of this heart
Fury of this heart
You can't beat the
Fury of this heart
You won't understand the
Fury of this heart
Fury of this heart
Fury of this heart
You can't beat the
Fury of this heart
You won't understand the
Fury of this heart
Fury of this heart
Take what you want

Xdeliverable

The weird thing about the world
Is expectations
People want the impossible
People expect the deliverable
The weird thing about the world
It’s communication
People need the comfortable
People believe the believeable
But
It’s
Xdeliverable
Xdeliverable
The weird thing about the world
Weird thing about the world
Weird thing about the world
The weird thing about the world
People they think they need
When they don’t know anything
Too much time is spent
Not believing in anything else as it’s
Xdeliverable
Xdeliverable
Xdeliverable
Xdeliverable
The weird thing about the world
Is expectations
People want the impossible
People expect the deliverable
But
It’s
Xdeliverable
Xdeliverable
Xdeliverable
Xdeliverable
Xdeliverable
Xdeliverable
The weird thing about the world

Be, be the underground
Be the underground
Another time
Be, be the underground
Be the underground
Another place
Will have to wait
For everyone to fall into place
Be, be the underground
Be the underground
I want to be underground with you
With you
Be the underground
Be the underground
Be, be, be the underground now
