The End
00:31
|
|||
|
Matt, Matt
Wake up!
I was thinking about how there’s no
True end to anything
Everything comes from and goes to
The same place: NOWHERE
So, if The Beginning is the end and
The End is the beginning,
Then what’s the end anyway?
Does that help you sleep better?
Like the rosy haze of an apocalypse sky
Or the comfort inside of a lie

Mercurial World
03:01

Hold me down to the earth
When the storm’s right in front of us
Tell me we’ll make it work
You’re as sure as the stars on top of us
‘Cause it’s the way that you are
Steady and sound when I feel so crazy
The way that you are
How could I doubt the obvious?
We’re spinning around
So let it rain down
Living in a Mercurial World
You’ll be around
Always holding me down
Living in a Mercurial World
Kiss me right where it hurts
Wash away all the fallen dust
Worried I’ll make you worse
But you’re teaching me how to trust in us
‘Cause it’s the way that we are
Steady and strong when it’s all so crazy
The way that we are
So how could I doubt the obvious?
We’re spinning around
So let it rain down
Living in a Mercurial World
You’ll be around
Always holding me down
Living in a Mercurial World
Only you and me
Against the universe, baby
Only you and me
Against the universe
Living in a Mercurial World
Living in a Mercurial World

Dawning of the Season

What’d she say about me?
Hands in pockets so deep
When I walk I see you stare
White lockers dripping with despair
Pooling around my feet
Hold your breath and don’t speak
Witnesses and zombies
And the way they glare as empty as an
Answering machine, no one to hear your dreams
Na you don’t bother me I’m like electricity
They say I’m dancing with my demons
This is the Dawning of the Season
Melancholy Girls and Nonbelievers
This is the Dawning of the Season
What you heard about me?
I see fire when I sleep
I can disappear like drops of water
Trembling in the heat
No you won’t see me
Na you don’t bother me I’m like electricity
They say I’m dancing with my demons
This is the Dawning of the Season
Melancholy Girls and Nonbelievers
This is the Dawning of the Season
Will we change? Will I be?
Adolescent dreams
Will we change? Will I be?
Adolescent thieves
They say I’m dancing with my demons
This is the Dawning of the Season
Melancholy Girls and Nonbelievers
This is the Dawning of the Season

Secrets
I don’t wanna tell you everything about me
I don’t wanna feed more oxygen to
Your fire, your fire
La la la la la
Online, anytime
Getting lost again
Worldwide, a paradigm
Make another friend
You think you know me
Wanna show me that you’re super in the know!
Getting lost again
But I might lose my mind
La la la la la
Secrets
I don’t wanna tell you everything about me
I don’t wanna feed more oxygen to
Your fire, your fire
La la la la la
Sickness
I just need to give you everything about me
I don’t need to feed more oxygen to
Your fire, your fire
La la la la la
One time, two more times
Getting lost again
You’re like just what I like
Make another friend
You think you know me
Wanna show me that you’re super in the know!
Getting lost again
My third eye prototype
(Pull me into your world)
Secrets
I don’t wanna tell you everything about me
I don’t wanna feed more oxygen to
Your fire, your fire
La la la la la
Sickness
I just need to give you everything about me
I don’t need to feed more oxygen to
Your fire, your fire
La la la la la
We’re worldwide!
I want all your secrets
You’re not gonna get my secrets
No secrets anymore...

You Lose!
03:24
|
|||
|
You, you say
You wanna go far away
I wanna know the place you crave
Is everything different or the same?
I’m running out of my time
A flower gone dry
Your lips touching mine won’t do
Only what’s left of my pride
Could lust for a lie
You aim, you attack, you lose
You say that you trust in me
And I say that I disagree
I’m out of my time
I’m lost in the crime
Your lips touching mine won’t do
Only what’s left of my pride
Could fall for a lie
You aim, you attack, you lose
You Lose!
You, you play
But there are no winners in the game
I wanna know the final stage
Where we go when the curtain fades
I’m running out of my time
A flower gone dry
Your lips touching mine won’t do
Only what’s left of my pride
Could lust for a lie
You aim, you attack, you lose
And you say that you trust in me
And I say that I disagree
And you say that you trust in me
And I say that I disagree
I’m out of my time
I’m lost in the crime
Your lips touching mine won’t do
Only what’s left of my pride
Could fall for a lie
You aim, you attack, you lose
I’m running out of my time
I’m lost in the crime
Your lips touching mine won’t do
Only what’s left of my pride
Could fall for a lie
You aim, you attack, you lose
You Lose!
You Lose!

Something For 2
03:36

That girl knew all the ways
To blow the whole world apart
Yeah that was how she was
But two years of dealing with her
And lately I’ve had enough
Of how I was, yeah I was
Instinctively I know that I’ve
Been changing all my colors
I finally wrung out all the blues
Been sweeping all the corners of
My mind, up to the ceiling but
It wasn’t all I’d do for you
Don’t let it fall, let it fall down
We could build something for two
Or burn it down
Instead of you keeping me out
We could build something for two
Or watch me drown
That girl knows all the ways
To make you laugh till it hurts
Yeah she does, yeah she does
Well that girl, believe it or not
Is running all out of words
Is it enough? Is it enough?
Instinctively I know that I’ve
Been changing all my colors
I finally wrung out all the blues
Been sweeping all the corners of
My mind, up to the ceiling but
It wasn’t all I’d do for you
Don’t let it fall, let it fall down
We could build something for two
Or burn it down
Instead of you keeping me out
We could build something for two
Or watch me
It wasn’t all I’d do
It wasn’t all I’d do
Sweeping all the corners of my mind
And we could build something for two
We could build something for two
So build it up or let it all fall down

Regrets
The things I should’ve said
Was I a bad friend?
It was only that bad with you
I’m sorry
Did you feel lonely?
I didn’t realize back then
It was really that bad for you
September started sweet
Then winter got so mean
The fruit left on my sheets
If I could do it all again I would’ve said:
Chaeri, please
You’re killing me
It’s only that bad, it’s only that bad
If you tell yourself you’ll never get out of bed
Forget
The way things could’ve been
Did I learn anything?
It was only that bad with you
September like a dream
But winter got so mean
The storm was underneath
If I could do it all again I would’ve said:
Chaeri, please
You’re killing me
It’s only that bad, it’s only that bad
If you tell yourself you’ll never get out of bed
3, 4, down to the floor
Lose control
Little more
3, 4, down to the floor
Lose control
Little more
Let it come alive
Let it grow
Better crucified
Than alone
Let it come alive
Let it grow
Better cut and dried
Than unknown

Halfway
01:58

No matter where you start or where you end
You are in between the Where and When
You are in the middle of The Loop
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Do you feel half empty or half full?
Is everything beautiful or dull?
Flip a circle and the middle stays the same
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Halfway
We’re halfway home
Slow down
The day’s boutta be gone
The sun goes
He sleeps until dawn
Slow down
The day is gone

Hysterical Us
03:55
|

|
Down the road where the kids don’t play alone
Or in your home
There’s a fog, it’s a shadow, a smoking gun
That something is wrong
Uh!
Hysterical Us
Sucking in oxygen
How did we learn to breathe?
Are we alone?
Are we in love again?
What do you want from me?
Hysterical Us
Checking the locks again
Remember when we could sleep?
Are we alone?
Are we in love again?
What do you want from me?
Play it cool
Play the man who won’t play the fool
But they’re playing you
Till in the sky 38 green blinding lights
Are here to take you home
Uh!
Hysterical Us
Sucking in oxygen
How did we learn to breathe?
Are we alone?
Are we in love again?
What do you want from me?
Hysterical Us
Checking the locks again
Remember when we could sleep?
Are we alone?
Are we in love again?
What do you want from me?
You say I’m a winner
A fanfare rising in the breeze
I’d give it away for a reason
To be...
You say I’m a quitter
Well it’s all I ever want to be
I’ll throw it away for a glimmer
Of something I could try to believe
Hysterical Us
Sucking in oxygen
How did we learn to breathe?
Are we alone?
Are we in love again?
What do you want from me?
Hysterical Us
Checking the locks again
Remember when we could sleep?
Are we alone?
Are we in love again?
What do you want from me?
(I can’t seem to shake it
The feeling that I’m breaking
Just give me something I could believe
Are we alone?
Can't seem to shake it
The feeling that I’m breaking
Just give me something I could believe)

Prophecy
03:34
|

|
Always wanted to believe
In some destiny to guide me
Found no answers in my dreams
No constellations that could show me
Up until you floated down on a cloud
I didn’t know, I didn’t know
In your pure perfection I’ll never doubt
Now I know, now I know
Let’s lay here just a little longer
Won’t you be my prophecy?
You’re the only one I need
When you’re lying next to me
I don’t need no make believe
Won’t you be my prophecy?
You’re the only one I need
When you’re lying next to me
You’re so real and I believe
Bury me in white sheets
Neighbor’s music drifts through concrete
With your arms around me
I don’t ever want to be free
Up until you floated down on a cloud
I didn’t know, I didn’t know
In your pure perfection I’ll never doubt
Now I know, now I know
Let’s lay here just a little longer
Won’t you be my prophecy?
You’re the only one I need
When you’re lying next to me
I don’t need no make believe
Won’t you be my prophecy?
You’re the only one I need
When you’re lying next to me
You’re so real and I believe

Follow The Leader

Follow the leader, the rabbit
He needs it, he loves it
Follow the leader, the rabbit
(In the white trees tonight)
He needs it, he loves it
(You wanna take a bite?)
You take the bait, take the bait
Now will you try to stay awake?
Stay awake
Now do you see you took the bait,
Took the bait?
Now will you try to stay awake?
Stay awake
Awake, awake
Follow the leader, the rabbit
You need it, you love it
He loves it when your eyes go ‘round
And separate
He loves it when your eyes go
He loves it, he loves it!
You take the bait, take the bait
Now will you try to stay awake?
Stay awake
Now do you see you took the bait,
Took the bait?
Now will you try to stay awake?
Stay awake
Awake, awake
In your head, under the bed
In your head, ah! ah!
You take the bait, take the bait
Now will you try to stay awake?
Stay awake
Now do you see you took the bait,
Took the bait?
Now will you try to stay awake?
Stay awake
Awake, awake

I love a winner
You bear your weight in gold
Runt of the litter
I’ll never bear my soul
But ah...
You dance, you dare, you move
But you’re stone
Oh ah...
You dance, you dare, you move
But you’re stone, you know
So we say goodnight, say goodnight
Is it by design, by design?
Quién lo decidió? I don’t know
Domino, ha ha
Fall on the trigger
The physics in control
But ah...
You dance, you dare, you move
But you’re stone
Oh ah...
You dance, you dare, you move
But you’re stone, you know
So we say goodnight, say goodnight
Is it by design, by design?
Quién lo decidió? I don’t know
Domino, ha ha

Picture Yoshino
With pink petals floating in the air
I wanna go there
Train window facing east
And you’re always next to me
And I’m next to you
I’m next to you
Meet me in the Swiss countryside
I saw a picture of it today
And I wanna go before I die
Big oceans blue, I want to see all the views
‘Cause there’s so much to do
And I’m next to you
I’m next to you
Ooo
I wanna see it with you
No stopping, too much to do
Dreamcatching
Always with you
Picture everything!
The world at our fingertips
And time for every trip
For all the things we wanna try before we die
‘Cause there’s so much to do
And I’m next to you
I’m next to you
Ooo
I wanna see it with you
No stopping, too much to do
Dreamcatching
Always with you
We’re going everywhere!
Too much to do
Time with you stretches into the horizon
Breaks in two, let it bend
And see that anything could happen
What to do?
Time with you stretches into the horizon
Breaks in two, let it bend
And see that anything could happen

The Beginning
04:01
|

|
He was a lonely cynic
No hero nor a villain inside
Until he had a vision
She had golden eyes and spoke her mind:
“Now easy livin’, it sets you free!
You’ll rediscover simplicity”
His cynicism gave way to be
Raindrops in every color
So if you feel low
Sit back, enjoy the show
Like a kaleidoscope
In technicolor tonight
So if you think you’re finished
Go back to The Beginning and find
That everybody needs a little help
From time to time
Just look inside
Now easy livin’, it sets you free
You’ll rediscover simplicity
‘Cause cynicism gives way to be
Raindrops in every color
So if you feel low
Sit back, enjoy the show
Like a kaleidoscope
In technicolor tonight
Matt, go back to sleep
I think I’ve finally got it all figured out
Like a butterfly floating in amber
We’ve made this moment:
ETERNAL
So if you feel low
Sit back, enjoy the show
Like a kaleidoscope
In technicolor tonight
Matt, Matt

This album can--and should--be revisited in aeternum, and Posing for Cars should be incentive enough to ensure you do. The pacing and build of the track pulls you in, and the three minute outro sweeps you away.
