AND 00:38
it's it's kind of like a dream like a dream except i i never get to wake up and
2.
I KNOW 03:14
how do i know you how do i know you how do i know you any more? (i don't know) tell me you love me (i don't know) tell me you need me (i don't know) say something other than i don't know (i don't know) how will i find you then (i don't care) tell me you'll meet me there (i can't say) why would you say to me "walk away" to. i don't know where i am going to. i don't know where i am going to. i don't know where i am going I don't know if you wont' tell me. i know that you tried. but a piece of us died. for the rest of my life talk about a place where i can't go tell me about the things that i don't know talk about the place where i can't go oh i know that i could never follow you
3.
i think i saw the ghost of the summer pass as light streams under the floorboards everybody's lying about the broken hearts buried alive in the courtyard who could love you? you couldn't stop talking about the silver sleeves that you left somewhere in harlem i tried to wrap our bodies up in all of the leaves so i could hide us from the autumn who couldn't love you? I saw you leading the motorcade to the riot machine guns running quietly in the night diamonds guns and gold all the things that i sold when i heard your voice in the choir if you want to hold somebody closer to you you gotta hold em up to the fire couldn't stop singing about a silvery city that runs through your blood like a wire i think i heard a voice in breathing machine say that all we need is desire
4.
when the night is bearable and barely beautiful and you're young and free to be. what you want is what you are and you're tearing apart and paradise won't last through your dreaming. and i know now i know that we all get destroyed and i know now i know that we all get destroyed i cannot explain why i pushed so hard why i can't wait for you when you're falling i can't hide the truth when i look right at you when i see where you've been and where we're going and i know now i know that we all get destroyed and i know now i know that we all get destroyed now it seems i'm making amends for all the mistakes that we made that we made that we made all the time
5.
what do we become in all the darkness that surrounds us in the night? I can't decide. we are all just satellites beaming out in hopes our dreams will find our lives. is the universe forgetting how small we are and is there a void we should be running to? we were told to head out of the city we were told to head out west we were told to head out of the cit y we were told to head out west though there's darkness in the night, we will be found we were so scared and so lost we were sober and it was raining we tried to find each other but the darkness still prevailed and in the quiet hours our voices were so soft and fragile only god knows where we are how far we fell today though there's darkness. in the night, we will be found
6.
I found the light in the quiet; in the spaces between you and I. in the basement i was enraged but i kept it inside. and i tried but you were vacant i wish you would shake me and take me aside walking in silence letting the pavement finally decide. there's a light in your heart i can see that it's there even when it's not there there's a car in the fog on the bridge it's clear go check your face in the mirror are your eyes still tired are your lips still chapped have your teeth grown straight is your tongue held back. there's a hole in your hand it's the size of everyone you ever tried to hold on to if it came down to you or me, i think you're better off alone if it came down to you or me, i think you're better off alone if it came down to you or me, i think i'm better off alone if it came down to you or me, i think i'm better off alone we can talk about starlight we can talk about visions we can talk about groovin' and we can do it all night long we can talk about you.

WITHOUT LOVE 05:21
can you make peace without love? can you make peace without love? can you make peace without love? can you make peace with our love? if i could make amends with the night if i could try to my best then I might if i lie in bed tonight i give up the thing I believe in can you take all of the things i have done can you take all the life out of love can you let go of the hate in your heart give up the thing you believe in? can you make peace without love? can you make peace without love? can you make peace without love? can you make peace with our love? if i could turn all the stone into sand if i could lie. if i could be a man if I could only be a man be a man who believes in tell me that i really have what it takes tell me how we can control our fate or all the ways that we said we would break remember the ones we believe in remember the way that you were. are you there with the people that you love? I'm in love.
8.
i added an "and" to the end of your sentence because i didn't like the way we ended everything there i can hear everything and it's making me smaller oceans are rising go make the buildings are taller but i'm only a man and i do what i can in the end all we have is an end i'll hold your hand and i'll lead you into that watery doom. i'll hold your hand but i'll leave you out in that watery doom.
9.
what if i wake up and i don't want to see myself again i'm all worn out but i'm wearing it better than you right now i can give you reasons why i don't care where you are i know i'm better off alone for now was it what i said? is it in my head? are we really dead? what'd i do instead? did i go to bed? baby, were you mad? could we work it out? is it too late for that? are you feeling sad? could it be my bad? did we make mistakes? i could admit to that. baby, when you left remember what i said if you wanted to leave why are you looking back?
