Strum

D-DU-UDU

So now we see

Comes burying my burnt remains

These puddled clouds

Oh I, I understand now

But darkness falls likes shattered pieces

Dangling, shimmering

Torn and tattered yet crowned

Oh I'll not be told "No" to "No More!"

You must believe to hear me sing these

Messy morsels of my self-assuring love

Oh it's painful kneading

Yes, I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles

That glare me down and face me with all I do wrong

Why do they all look like me?

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh

Just to prove I'm alive

And it's alright

Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light

Of my treacherous life

If I had hands I'd hold up high

My lofty dreams and my alibi's real name

But I have no strength

So I toss and I turn and I spit in the urn

There's a ghost in your eye

There is someone that knows more than I

But I'm quick to deny

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh

Just to prove I'm alive

And it's alright

Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light

Of my treacherous life

Make Light!

2. Little Secrets

When I came down the dawn poured into me

I shook 'em up, the walls came crumbling

My thin skin trembling with these salty wounds

My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb

Now painting rainbows on my ugly face

I built this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace

But I ascend and serve my feverish need

Within the confines of such chemistry

It's the way I see

Everything I need

It's the way to be

Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know we're feeling

Higher and higher and higher

But I feel alive and I feel it in me

up and up I keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

My face blew up at such a casual sight

The smattered colors of ecstatic fright

The rush above me to oblivion

Outlining wet sidewalks with halogen

Oh have you ever felt so goddamned strong?

How come it takes some people so damn long

He turned to squeeze the lemon juice to rain

The citrus drawing out the scene it stains

Watch the basin drain

As your life lines wane

And you cant explain

As your friends complain

You've caused all this pain

And you proudly shame

Your whole family's name

Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know we're feeling

Higher and higher and higher

But I feel alive and I feel it in me

Ip and up I keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Mother I can tell what you've been thinking

staring at the stars on your ceiling

Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding

And now I've hit the mark

Stabbing at the dark

And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars

Let this be our little secret

No one needs to know we're feeling

Higher and higher and higher

But I feel alive and I feel it in me

up and up I keep on climbing

Higher and higher and higher

Dear friend, as you know

Your flowers are withering

Your mother's gone missing

Your leaves have drifted away

But the clouds are clearing up

And I've come reveling

Burning incandescently

Like a bastard on the burning sea

(Lead Guitar plays intro riff)

You're just like your father

Buried deep under the water

Your resting on your laurel

And stepping on my toes

Whose side are you on?

What side is this anyway?

Put down your sword and crown

Come lay with me on the ground

You come beating like moth's wings

Spastic and violently

Whipping me into a storm

Shaking me down to the core

But you run away from me

And you left me shimmering

Like diamond wedding rings

Spinning dizzily down on the floor

(Lead Guitar plays intro riff)

You're just like your father

Buried deep beneath the water

Your pressing on your laurel

Is stepping on my toes

Whose side are you on?

What side is this anyway?

Put down your sword and crown

Come lay with me on the ground

(Lead Guitar plays intro riff)

You're just like your father

Buried deep beneath the water

Your pressing on your laurel

Is stepping on my toes

Whose side are you on?

What side is this anyway?

Put down your sword and crown

Come lay with me on the ground

End On: B

4. The Reeling

Pt. 1): Fmaj7 Cmaj7

Pt. 2):

We dug these holes we crawled into now they're my home

Now here I cannot feel the wind, cant feel the rain or cold

And I believe in gentle harmony

Well how I loathe all this obscenity!

Is this the way my life has got to be?

Have I a single opportunity?

Look at me Oh look at me is this the way I'll always be

Oh No, Oh No

Now I pray that somebody will swiftly come and kidnap me

Oh No, Oh No

Everyday I lie awake and pray to god today's the day

Oh No, Oh No

But Here I am Oh here I am Oh when will someone understand?

Oh No, Oh No

And all at once I feel this, Oh how it clings to me

It reels and calls me towards some confounding destiny

And I can feel the madness inch by inch

The more I run the more I am convinced

I've colored all these like the branch's twist

Just like we settle in the frothy mist

Look at me Oh look at me is this the way I'll always be

Oh No, Oh No

Now I pray that somebody will swiftly come and kidnap me

Oh No, Oh No

Everyday I lie awake and pray to god today's the day

Oh No, Oh No

But Here I am Oh here I am Oh when will someone understand?

Oh No, Oh No

Brigde:

Look at me Oh look at me is this the way I'll always be?

Oh No, Oh No

Now I pray that somebody will swiftly come and kidnap me

Oh No, Oh No

Everyday I lie awake and pray to god today's the day

Oh No, Oh No

But Here I am Oh here I am Oh when will someone understand?

Oh No, Oh No

5. Eyes as Candles

My world astir and sickly

Spits out our voices singing,

"Tra la la" on high now

To kingdom come so slightly.

Herein the void in your place,

I twitch and tweak in allusion

To sit and stare so blankly

Until all hope is used up

Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?

Where do you go when I'm around?

What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?

And have the nerve to wear the crown?

Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

In Some dark room:

A smoky figure fills me full,

Makes my head swell in ruin.

My family kneels at their pew,

They nod, "We believe in what you're doing!"

I feel it rise above me,

The western landscapes towering,

And from my shell of a body

The flowers blossom for picking.

Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeting?

Where do you go when I'm around?

What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?

And have the nerve to wear the crown?

Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

I've waited and waited for someone to take it.

Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.

Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.

I 've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.

I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.

I've painted your patterns but found them attractive.

Now I have been leaning towards a life far more candid,

Though led through the dark with your eyes as my candles,

Where your life, and my life, directions can wrangle.

And all of a sudden you've left me to handle

The reasons that never forbid me to stand tall.

And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret -

To sting alive without actually breathing.

6. Swimming in the flood

My eyes have once again been proven wrong

Your clouds, your blanket and my pity song

Hovering on your front lawn

Carry on until it's gone

What can I do?

The river's overrun

We're swimming in a flood, you know?

I thought I felt your touch

But the water's rising up

Then I lie naked in a rampage

In the flesh, face to face with the onset

I forget everything that's ever made me

Rise again

Now slowly leave my memory

What can I do?

The river's overrun

We're swimming in a flood, you know?

I thought I felt your touch

But the water's rising up

What can I do?

The river's overrun

We're swimming in a flood, you know?

I thought I felt your touch

But the water's rising up

7. Folds in Your Hands

Leave me alone

I'm fine

I'll be fine until the morning comes

Then unmask me in the blistering sun

Oh let me go

just let me go

Or I'll

Burst in front of your eyes

Then collect myself from the ground

And when I go

Just let me go

Like a light

Flickering out in the skies

Lost as fast as was found

Wooooo-oo

Everything's easy when you never have to choose

With the balance has shifting we're forced to lose

Like the sun and the moon I will circle you til you bloom

I will crush I will maul I will burn until I get to you

Lay low

Dont let me know what is real

Will they quietly follow me here?

Take me as their own?

Now I will hold you I will keep you up and show my love

Until it folds in my hands

But I'll build it back to the top

Wooooo-oo

Everything's easy when you never have to choose

With the balance has shifting we're forced to lose

Like the sun and the moon I will circle you til you bloom

I will crush I will maul I will burn until I get to you

Feel it rain

We're alive

Feel it rain

End On: Cm7

8. To Kingdom Come

That's a frosty way to speak,

To tell me how to live next to your potpourri

All this talking pulls my teeth.

I believed in you, so you believed in

Me, I cried out "God!"

You dared me in the dark

I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark

So now I hide in piles of princely orange peels

It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel..

Once I had an name to claim

I scraped along the walls like an orthodox saint.

I wish for the same old things

That turned me inside out.

Knealing in such pain, it's a game!

Me, I cried out "God!"

You dared me in the dark

I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark

So now I hide in piles of princely orange peels

It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel..

Never have I ever been

Clutching at your hair to cure you of some sin,

But that's the kind of state I'm in:

Swimming in a pool of godly medicine.

"Come, come," I hear it calling me, yelling,

Like if ever there was someone who could make things heavy again.

Feel alright!

Me, I cried out "God!"

You dared me in the dark

I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark

So now I hide in piles of princely orange peels

It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel..

Me, I cried out "God"

You dared me in the dark

I felt a hush fall quietly from my spark

So now I hide in piles of princely orange peels

It feels the way you told me how it'd always feel..

9. Sleepyhead

And you said it was like fire around the brim

Burning solid burning thin the burning rim

Like stars burning holes right through the dark

Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes

You were one inch from the edge of this bed

I dragged you back a sleepyhead

Sleepyhead

They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst

With all their lions and all their might and all their thirst

They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin

Against the walls against your rules against your skin

My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors

Of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead

Sleepyhead

10. Let Your Love Grow Tall

In pastures blue and green

I'll follow you and you'll follow me

My fabric's mystery

I'll wave your loyalty in the freezing

Breeze so desperately

And Another one comes down

I think I see see my life

He bows all slyly and gentle-like

He's never had the right

But I've never lived without

His sad and jealous eyes

And Another one comes down

They'd say,

"Let your love grow tall."

Tall as the grass in the meadow?

Or the dunes on the shore?

Like the buildings in the city?

And your children on the floor?

But it's the thought that counts

No Quiet minds don't know their worth

They know not what to do

So Ill pray for them and I'll pray for you

Till my face turns blue

And Another one comes down

They'd say.

"Let your love grow tall."

Tall as the grass in the meadow?

Or the dunes on the shore?

Like the buildings in the city?

And your children on the floor?

Like the darkness in the forest?

Like my frightened worried eyes?

Or the roots in the soil?

Are these skies telling lies?

11. Seaweed Song

Some day you'll see

Surrounded by angels

Floating atop of the sea

On Bended knee

Don't go where they go

Don't sing all the songs they sing

Nobody knows you the way you know you

But I think I do

But I thought I knew

Yeah, I thought I knew

Nobody knows you the way you know you

But I think I do

But I thought I knew

Yeah, I thought I knew

Between these walls

Her bark-stripped limbs casts shadows frighteningly tall

I slow to a crawl

I jump and I yell and she hears nothing at all

Nobody knows you the way you know you

But I think I do

But I thought I knew

Yeah, I thought I knew

Nobody knows you the way you know you

But I think I do

But I thought I knew

Yeah, I thought I knew

Stay, stay the same

'Cause everything else will change

And I'll always be to blame

So please just stay the same

The current has pulled me in

The tide has reached my chin

The seaweed tickled skin

Just let the water win

I'm freezing to the bone

You'll never feel at home

Just watch your body go

Nobody knows you the way you know you

But I think I do

But I thought I knew

Yeah, I thought I knew

Nobody knows you the way you know you

But I think I do

But I thought I knew

Yeah, I thought I knew

[Cmaj7]Why do I [Bm7]always need to [D]need you when you're fleeting?
[Cmaj7]Where do you [Bm7]go when I'm [D]around?
[Cmaj7]What have I [Bm7]done? What have I [D]lost that's so defeating?
[Cmaj7]And have the [Bm7]nerve to wear the [D]crown?

Oh
[Cmaj7]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[Bm7]Na na na na na [Em7]na, hey! hey!
[Cmaj7]Na na na na na [D]na, hey! hey!
[Bm7]Na na na na na [Em7]na, hey! hey!
[Cmaj7]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!
[Bm7]Na na na na na [Em7]na, hey! hey!
[Cmaj7]Na na na na na [D]na, hey! hey!
[Bm7]Na na na na na [Em7]na, hey! hey!

[N.C.]I've waited and waited for someone to take it.
[N.C.]Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.
[N.C.]Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.
[N.C.]I 've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.
[N.C.]I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.
I've [Cmaj7]painted your patterns but found them attractive.
Now [Bm7]I have been leaning towards a [Em7]life far more candid,
[Bm7]Though [Cmaj7]led through the dark with your [D]eyes as my candles,
Where [Bm7]your life, and my life, di[Em7]rections can wrangle.
And [Cmaj7]all of a sudden you've left me to handle
The [Bm7]reasons that never for[Em7]bid me to stand tall.
[Em7]And [Cmaj7]somehow or somewhere I [D]found out the secret -
To [Bm7]sting alive without [Em7]actually breathing.

6. Swimming in the flood

[Dm] [C] [Bbmaj7]

[Dm]My [C]eyes [Bbmaj7]have once a[C]gain been proven [Dm]wrong
[Dm]Your [C]clouds[Bbmaj7], your blanket [C]and my pity [Dm]song[C]  [Bbmaj7]
[C]Hovering on your front lawn [Dm]     [C]       [Bbmaj7]
[C]Carry on until it's [Bbmaj7]gone

[Bbmaj7]What can I [C]do?
[C]The [Am]river's over[Bbmaj7]run
[Bbmaj7]We're swimming in a [C]flood, you [Am]know?
[Bbmaj7]I thought I felt your [C]touch
[C]But the [Am]water's rising [Bbmaj7]up

[Dm]Then I [C]lie[Bbmaj7]       [C]naked in a rampage [Dm]
[Dm]In the [C]flesh[Bbmaj7], face to [C]face with the onset [Dm]
I [C]forget[Bbmaj7]   every[C]thing that's ever made me  [Dm]
[Dm]Rise a[C]gain  [Bbmaj7]
Now [C]slowly leave my [Bbmaj7]memory

[Bbmaj7]What can I [C]do?
[C]The [Am]river's over[Bbmaj7]run
[Bbmaj7]We're swimming in a [C]flood, you [Am]know?
[Bbmaj7]I thought I felt your [C]touch
[C]But the [Am]water's rising [Bbmaj7]up
[Bbmaj7]What can I [C]do?
[C]The [Am]river's over[Bbmaj7]run
[Bbmaj7]We're swimming in a [C]flood, you [Am]know?
[Bbmaj7]I thought I felt your [C]touch
[C]But the [Am]water's rising [Bbmaj7]up

8. To Kingdom Come

[E] [C#m] x4

[E]That's a frosty [C#m]way to speak,
[E]To tell me how to [C#m]live next to your potpourri
[E]All this talking [C#m]pulls my teeth.
[E]I believed in [C#m]you, so you believed in

[E]Me, I cried out [C#m]"God!"
[C#m]You dared me in the [E]dark
[E]I felt a [C#m]hush fall quietly from my [E]spark
[E]So now I hide in [C#m]piles of princely orange peels [E]
[E]It feels the way you [C#m]told me how it'd always feel..

[E]Once I had an [C#m]name to claim
[E]I scraped along the [C#m]walls like an orthodox [E]saint.
[E]I wish for the [C#m]same old things
[E]That turned me inside [C#m]out.
[C#m]Knealing in such [F#m]pain, it's a [B]game!

[E]Me, I cried out [C#m]"God!"
[C#m]You dared me in the [E]dark
[E]I felt a [C#m]hush fall quietly from my [E]spark
[E]So now I hide in [C#m]piles of princely orange peels [E]
[E]It feels the way you [C#m]told me how it'd always feel..

[E]Never have I [C#m]ever been
[E]Clutching at your [C#m]hair to cure you of some [E]sin,
[E]But that's the kind of [C#m]state I'm in:
[E]Swimming in a [C#m]pool of godly medicine.
[A]"Come, come," I hear it [B]calling me, yelling,
[B]Like if [E]ever there was [D]someone who could [C#m]make things heavy [F#m]again.
[F#m]Feel a[B]lright!

[E]Me, I cried out [C#m]"God!"
[C#m]You dared me in the [E]dark
[E]I felt a [C#m]hush fall quietly from my [E]spark
[E]So now I hide in [C#m]piles of princely orange peels [E]
[E]It feels the way you [C#m]told me how it'd always feel..
[E]Me, I cried out [C#m]"God"
[C#m]You dared me in the [E]dark
[E]I felt a [C#m]hush fall quietly from my [E]spark
[E]So now I hide in [C#m]piles of princely orange peels [E]
[E]It feels the way you [C#m]told me how it'd always feel..

9. Sleepyhead

[G] [D] [Cmaj7]

[Cmaj7]And you [Em]said[D] it was like [Cmaj7]fire around the brim [Em]
[D]Burning [Cmaj7]solid burning thin the burning [Em]rim  [D]
[D]Like [Cmaj7]stars burning holes right through the [Em]dark  [D]
[D]Flicking [Cmaj7]fire like saltwater into my [Em]eyes  [D]
[D]You were one [Cmaj7]inch from the edge of this [Em]bed   [D]
[D]I dragged you [Cmaj7]back a sleepy[Em]hea[D]d [Cmaj7]
[Cmaj7]Sleepy[Em]hea[D]d [Cmaj7]

[G] [D] [Cmaj7]
         [Em] [D]

[D]They couldn't [Cmaj7]think of something to say the day you [Em]burst [D]
[D]With all their [Cmaj7]lions and all their might and all their [Em]thirst [D]
[D]They crowd your b[Cmaj7]edroom like some thoughts wearing [Em]thin[D]
[D]Against the [Cmaj7]walls against your rules against your [Em]skin [D]
[D]My beard grew [Cmaj7]down to the floor and out through the [Em]doors[D]
[D]Of your [Cmaj7]eyes, begonia skies like a sleepy[Em]hea[D]d [Cmaj7]
[Cmaj7]Sleepy[Em]hea[D]d [Cmaj7]

[G] [D] [Cmaj7]

[Em] [D] [Cmaj7]

[Bm]And your [G]children on the floor?

[Bm] [G] [D]
[Bm] [G] [D]
[Bm] [G] [D]

[G]Or the [A]roots in the soil? [Bm]
[Bm]Are these [G]skies telling lies?

[G]Some [Am7]day you'll [Cadd9]see
Su[G]rrounded by angels
[Am7]Floating atop of the [Cadd9]sea       [G]
