Cloud Nine

(A push then a pull)
Let's get this thing started
(Trade a kiss for a scar)
My thoughts are now sorted for once
(This connection is better)
This could happen, well
(Than you'd like to admit)
I think it's working
I, oh I think I, I’m on cloud, cloud nine
Every kind of divide has been chewed and swallowed, alright
(A push then a pull)
Let's get this thing started
(Trade a kiss for a scar)
My thoughts are now sorted for once
(This connection is better)
This could go well
(Than you'd like to admit)
I think it's working
Oh I think I, I think I'm back on this unknown thing called
High cloud nine, and it feels better than it did the first time
This is not an encounter where you buy things and pretend to care
We'll bypass it all to cut straight to the only things we dare

Revelation Day
02:49
|
|||
In the sea of faces, the air is so thin
All I can breathe is you
I know you’ll take my hand
It was so close to being cut and lost
I’m sorry if I avert your gaze, but now we’re here
I’m afraid to see someone else reflected in your eyes,
Yes, I’m afraid to see someone else reflected in your eyes
Stay inside, it’s revelation day
I’m tired of this lie
that I don’t see you when I close my eyes
Don’t fake me out
Every kind of cliche has been thrown away
Don’t shatter my romantic bones, please
From my experience, everything we have turns to dust
Just this once you will have to agree
That you should always have a life with me

Hate The Radio
02:49
|
|||
Don't know when my words slipped into this drone
There was something down there, we can't see through despair
I tried so hard just to describe you
I didn't get so far, in this lifetime there's no air
Like it cuz they told you so, hate the radio
Hate the TV too, cuz it takes my time with you
Find your way in the dark, how and where do I start
Trying to find you in something resembling a commonplace situation
And now!
I wonder if we can still share our thoughts
If you're feeling this now, I think you'll see my face
Like it cuz they told you so, hate the radio
Hate the TV too, gotta find something to do
Try me cuz they all say no, but what are you waiting for?
And don't you hate me too, there's no one better than you
Just like it cuz they told you so, hate the radio
Hate the TV too, there's no one better than you

Everyone Is Happy
03:05
|
|||
If everyone is happy, then I am too
Everybody's dropping out before our rule
We can say we got it
I wish that were true
Everything has left me
There's nothing left to do
If everyone is happy
If everyone is cool
If everyone is happy
Then so am I
They can say I'm patient, let's call them a waste
People will be hanging out to see the new face
You'll send me a picture when you've cut all the ties
Two friends from my sequel are looking through my disguise
If everyone is happy
If everyone is cool
If everyone is happy
Then so am I
If everyone is happy, then I am too
Everyone is dropping out of all the schools
Quit this dim vacation
I could put you out
I have never had a mind end my doubts
If everyone is happy
If everyone is cool
If everyone is happy
Then so am I

Against The World
01:25
|
|||
Hey babe did you ever hear about my own collapse?
It's always good as they've ever felt, there's a dent in the past
It's just you and me and we're up against the entire world
Maybe we're never meant to be
Caught in their trap
Yeah it never ends, and we don't know what to do anymore
Keep it, don't drop it
Yeah babe it's our only time, 80 years perhaps
Something's cool and something's gone a mile in the past
We don't care how they feel, today was a blast
Today was a blast

My Way
03:55
|
|||
No one can ever love you strongly as I do, hey I will swear, yes I will wear
You get your own private section in this thing that pumps my blood, but when will it stop?
It's where you'll remain forever and ever, clawing at the walls, begging to escape
We should have never built this thing you wouldn't feel
Self confidence is my sworn enemy
But what do I do, we're dying in front of me?
I know you tried to instill that in me, it disintegrates faster than bleeding
It's not good enough, I know it's true, but I just care way too much
to not play the fool who outruns a bullet
I guess we're going cuz we see my way
Doesn't matter, we died today
But won't you please just tell me if it's possible to see you?
I check my watch and the time has stopped
Is this what we call a break or a pause?
Or if we can settle, I won't taste the metal here
I guess we're going cuz we see my way
Doesn't matter, so try to say
What's eating you, into you, because this isn't the end

Perception
02:53
|
|||
Survive by yourself for a while
Lost all feelings long ago
It’s never your fault
The fact I can let you go
Can you live for what’s yours when you’re all alone?
Alone, alone
I’m the victim, you’re the thief
You wanna steal me anyway
If I burn the ground you stand on,
You’ll go float away
Can you life for what’s yours when you’re all alone?
Alone, alone
I’ll turn off the light
Fade away
I’ll turn off the light
And fade away
Survive by yourself for a while
Lost all feelings long ago
It’s never your fault
The fact I can let you go
Can you live for what’s yours when you’re all alone?
Alone, alone
I’ll turn off the light
Fade away
I’ll turn off the light
And fade away

Loud And Lonely
01:48
|
|||
If I could follow my own advice I'd be so much better
I wouldn't have fallen into the trap, the one that eats me up and sucks me dry
I cut off my arms and legs just to escape
You would know how hard I tried and died
I see you standing over there
Can you accept me and love me?
No one else can
And no one else will
You're my last hope
I'm alone

Fire
02:59
|
|||
Walking around in these crowded streets
It's a little less lonely than my room
There's smoke pouring out of these gaping mouths, they glare at me as I pass by
They're fire-breathing and I don't even know why
Maybe it's because there's no hope for me
I think they're living their lives to the fullest extent, they're dying at 40, when it's all supposed to end
All this fresh air is so bad for my lungs, that's what I've heard, so it must be true
I think I'll cut the phone lines and wrap them around below my head
If you know you can't take me
On your own, properly
I'll give you time, never leave
Until you throw and can't retrieve
You let me see my own blueprints
It turns out I'm alone by design
My mind's on fire, I don't even know why
Hose me down, end the drought
If you know you can't take me
On your own, properly
I'll give you time, never leave
Until you throw and can't retrieve
I wanna go home, don't you take it from me
As I fade alone on these dim-lit streets
Is it a twist-tie or is it chain?
Please remove it or watch it drain
They're fire-breathing and I don't even know why
Maybe it's because there's no hope for me

Plunge
04:55
|
|||
Going to reiterate your clashing parallels
Everything you flourished in crashes back to sell
Turn and throw me out again, I’m a relic of the dead
Days in which we used to sing, smile, laugh, and play
Time to start the game, this game of saving face
My luck just broke a mirror, so now it’s far inferior
And everyone wants to take the plunge
And everyone does, I guess it hurts
Travel back in time to when we drove you home that night
Paradigms and oxygen, and broken vessels too
We were late, the gate was locked, but no one seemed to mind
I’ll see you now, I’ll see you then
But now it’s just pretend
It’s time to start the game, this game of saving face
Do the streetsweepers get the people off the ground?
And everyone wants to take the plunge
And everyone does, I guess it hurts

Parannoyed
03:30
|
|||
You think you’re so paranoid,
Just look at me
You wanna be so annoyed,
There’s no one else to be
Just a taste
It’ll take your breath away
Looking for the only way
To see your through
Something locked in the original
Faked around the corners
Lose yourself again
You know you’ve got it good when everything that you love
Disappears
You think you’re so paranoid,
Just look at me
You wanna be so annoyed,
There’s no one else to be

Floor Decorations
02:27
|
|||
Greetings to you, let's get down with the floor decorations
Inside your head was a vicious little thing called deprecation
Telling you how to want me is a sign of desperation
But nothing can try to match my own dedication
Soon enough
It's never soon enough
It wasn't soon enough
So don't let go
So let's just return to see how we could ever be true
Nothing else comes to mind when they mention you
Except the everything that it is we tried to share
Don't leave it behind because we know it will not ever be there
Soon enough
It's never soon enough
It wasn't soon enough
So don't let go
Don't let go
Oh yes, oh yes
Let's make a return to private jets
And soundproof floors
Nothing could ever touch us here
No one could ever, ever touch you here
Yes no one

Cloud Infinity
02:38
|
|||
They sent you out on a mission
Things to feed your growing superstitions
To save everyone in all of the world
But now you talk with tooth and nail
And sometime the things you want to derail
Put on some Pavement, what can I do?
You saved everyone, every last person in this world
Except for me, yeah except for me
But I’m saying now it’s okay
Go ahead and find someone who’s a
12 out of 10, it’s just around the bend
Let’s pretend this is easy to repeat
And keep a bin full of all our keepsakes
I can’t throw them out, they’re part of me
We’ve got one fatal flaw, it’s always different
In the eyes of different people, yours was that
You got sick of things
I could say that I am the master
Of feeling it and dying down faster
But not for you
Never for you
Did you know what I was always feeling too?
How could I trust anyone but you?
I could never know, but I think you will
We are high, but not on fumes
Or liquids
This is a funny feeling that only seems to confuse
You, my love, my everything
I guess we’ll see
