Cheer Me Up/I Like My Drums (7" Picture disc - 2011)


Cheer Me Up

Come on grab me
By the hand
My life's been kind of empty
Since i met you

Come on sing to me
One of those songs
To cheer me up
Cheer me up
Now ,the day has gone

I see my fingers
They're weak and pale
And they just wanna feel you
You're in the air

So come to me
Come to me
When i'm sleeping
Just say sleep tight
And sweet dreams
Baby


I Like My Drums

I’ve seen your eyes
Between the trees
Between

On a Monday morning
It’s you I know
It’s you

And then I heard a noise
And I cried aloud
Aloud

And then I heard a voice
It was trembling through
My veins

It said
I like my drums
For they remind me
Of my heartbeat

When I think of you
When I think of you

It’s you I know
it’s you I know





All Harm Ends Here (CD - 2011)


Paranoid Park

My parents are asking me
"Are you feeling fine?"
And all my friends are asking me
"Are you feeling fine?"

No I'm not, no I'm not
No I am not

No I'm not, no I'm not
No I am not

Cause every time you pass me by
I feel like thin glass on a swing

Cause every night's another net
Your memory leaning by my bed

Another moon above these sheets
My sinking heart is burying me

Another moon above these sheets
My sinking heart is burying me

With the letdown that I felt

Another moon
Another moon
Another moon


Ian

So sad
You’re so sad

You always take
As much as you can

So sad
You're so sad

For years, since I’ve been there
For years, it seems so weird

Ian! Ian!

So bad
You're so bad

Whose shoulder was your selfish arm around?
Whose shoulder was your selfish arm around?

Ian! Ian!

Do you remember?
The sun shone on us


Grow!

-Grow!
-I tried

-Grow!
-I tried
But life ain't fair, life ain't fair

-Grow!
-Let's ask Alice (Grow!)
About time running backwards
-Grow!
-i'm dreaming of (Grow!)
Walking through mirrors

When you say 'Grow!'
I think life ain't fair
And you got a short memory for your own mistakes

-Grow!
-Life ain't fair but I keep going on
And on
And on
And on


Burning

All harm ends here
Almost burning before my eyes

All harm ends here
Almost burning before my eyes

How long will I have to wait?
Till your eyes see the truth

So tell me, tell me, tell me
I'm still here

So tell me, tell me, tell me
I'm alive here

So tell me, tell me, tell me
I belong here

So tell me, tell me, tell me
I'm still here

All harm ends here
Falling into pieces before my eyes

All harm ends here
Falling into pieces before my eyes

How long will I have to wait?
Till my bruises tell the truth

So tell me, tell me, tell me
I'm still here

So tell me, tell me, tell me
I'm alive here

So tell me, tell me, tell me
I belong here

So tell me, tell me, tell me
I'm still here


The King Is Dead

Why are you so far?
Why are you so far?

It seems like you have nothing to say
It seems like I have nothing left to say

Why are you so pale?
Why are you so pale?

The King is dead and I’m not the queen
The kingdom’s ruined and I’m not the queen .

Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me


I Like My Drums

I’ve seen your eyes
Between the trees
Between

On a Monday morning
It’s you I know
It’s you

And then I heard a noise
And I cried aloud
Aloud

And then I heard a voice
It was trembling through
My veins

It said
I like my drums
For they remind me
Of my heartbeat

When I think of you
When I think of you

It’s you I know
it’s you I know


Naked Evil

Tell me we're not even having
This conversation

You brought me into this world
To tear everything down

Naked evil can find you
At the edge of the earth

Naked evil can find you
At the edge of the world

Faith is always playing
A long game
Faith is always playing
An unfair game

And you know that naked evil can find you
At the edge of the world


The Wizard, The Witch And The Crow

The wizard came along
Down the dusty road

With his coat and his crown
Singing us a song
An ancient and forbidden tune

The witch just passed me by
Flying across the sky

Everybody hid
And I was standing there
Outside by the edge of the desert

The black crow came along
As black as was my gown

I whistled and I heard
My echo through the desert

The sun was very high
At noon blinding my eyes

But i could still perceive
The smell of the wild desert
And had suddenly a complete view

The vision came along
Me drinking holy blood

A witch, a wizard and a crow
Telling me about my future

Wild red roses
Will bloom in my mouth


River

River take me away
Cause I’ve lost my life
A long time ago

Father teach me
How to love

Mother teach me
How to be loved

For I’m not sure, anymore

River carry me away
In a tired rhythm
Without haste

Brother look
In my eye

Sister listen to
My complaints

For I’m not sure
For I’m not sure
For I’m not sure
Anymore


Eve

She set the house on fire
The house where
She laughed against the wall

She set the house on fire
The house where
Her own world collapsed

Is it a crime to dream like this?
Is it a crime my little Eve?

She called out his name
Again and again
Now her own words hang on the trees

She’s lived, she’s lived
In somebody else’s dream

Now she’s free, she's, my little Eve
Now she’s free, she’s my little Eve





Sometimes It's Better To Wait (EP - 2009)


To wait

It’s been a long time
I’ve been waiting here

It’s been a long time
I’ve been sitting here, alone

Sometimes it’s better to wait
Then to get what you want

Sometimes it’s better to wait

And i wait
It’s been a long time
I’ve been thinking here, alone

It’s been a long time
I’ve been waiting here, for what

Sometimes it’s better to wait
Then to get what you want

Sometimes it’s better to wait

And i wait


New pieces of science

There’s a girl and she’s
Lying on the floor
Looking at me

There’s a girl and she’s
Lying on the floor
And she’s not breathing

She’s not me, she’s not me
She’s not me, she’s not me

I’m the girl who
Stumbles everywhere
I don’t feel at ease
With anybody else
But you

And you kill me, you kill me
When you look at me
And say “look, that is not real”

And you kill me you kill me
When you smile
and say “maybe you’re just blue”

and you kill me, you kill me
when you look at me
and say “look, that’s not true”

and you kill me, you kill me
when you say “baby
maybe you’re just a little blue..”

There’s a girl and she’s
Lying on the floor
Looking at me

There’s a girl and she’s
Lying on the floor
And she’s not breathing

She’s not me, she’s not me, i hope
But she’s me, but she’s me

I’m the girl who
Stumbles everywhere
I don’t feel at ease
With anybody else
But you

And you kill me you kill me
When you smile
and say “maybe you’re just blue”

and you kill me, you kill me
when you look at me
and say “that is not true”

and you kill me, you kill me
when you say “baby
maybe you’re just a little blue...”


6:17 pm

When i walk alone
down the streets
i can see my shadow
so hard, so hard

To carry it on

When i sleep alone
in my bed i
can feel my dreams
they’re so heavy, so heavy

When i walk alone
downtown the streets
i can see my shadow
so hard, so hard

To carry it on

When i sleep alone
in my bed i
can feel my dreams
they’re so heavy, so heavy

To deal with


Bells

Then this sound
Comes to the ground

Then this sound
Comes to the ground

Then this sound
Hits the ground

You’re not gonna
Crack my little soul
You’re not gonna
Crack my little soul

‘Cause i hear bells

I hear bells


This world

Have you ever been
To that place
Where you can

Love peacefully
Who you want
And nobody cares

Oh no i’m not safe here
Birds can’t sing for me

And gods are all on vacation
No i won’t stay here, anymore
I’ll stay there
Where you’ll be right by my side
You will be right here by my side

Have you ever been
To that place
Where you can

Swim naked
Till the sun
Dives and talk to the fishes

Tell them your love is true
And you won’t come back to earth
I will lead you to this new world
No more hurt and pain
You’ll be right here by my side
You’ll be right here by mi side
In this world
In this world
In this world
