Next to nothing
Breaking bones through the smoke and the fire, next to nothing is the most that's required, our divorce from this choice was inspired by a question, a question, that we'll never forget We tried faith – just to see how it looked next to nothing, was the next to nothing that took us all higher... gonna put the past away AND I WAS GOING TO FEEL JUST FINE AND IT WAS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT Checking out from the smoke and the fire, next to nothing is enough when your tired, every night deep in sleep we conspire and no question, don't mention, what we'll never forget I tried faith, just to see how it looked next to nothing, was the nothing that took us all higher...gonna put the past away I tried faith – just to see how it looked next to nothing, was the nothing that took us all higher, took us all higher...

Next to nothing

Breaking bones through the smoke and the fire, next to nothing
is the most that's required, our divorce from this choice
was inspired by a question, a question, that we'll never forget
We tried faith – just to see how it looked next to nothing,
was the next to nothing that took us all higher... gonna put the past away

AND I WAS GOING TO FEEL JUST FINE
AND IT WAS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT

Checking out from the smoke and the fire, next to nothing
is enough when your tired, every night deep in sleep we conspire
and no question, don't mention, what we'll never forget
I tried faith, just to see how it looked next to nothing,
was the nothing that took us all higher...gonna put the past away
I tried faith – just to see how it looked next to nothing,
was the nothing that took us all higher, took us all higher...

War comes down
I can't decide from the cause or effect or the air without planes or the back of your hand I volunteer all the anger and angels and stupid remarks, you remember that game? LOST IN A SCENE OF EMBRACES AND I COULD SEE ALL THE PROOF IN THEIR FACES THE DEVIL'S ONLY ONE THING, WE STOOD BESIDE THE HOUSE AND WATCHED THE WAR COME DOWN... you could not tell from this hand that i hold or my hearts only queen or the back of this mind for certain hours the hours take minutes, the days and the weeks are the same War comes down

War comes down

I can't decide from the cause or effect or the air without planes or the back of your hand
I volunteer all the anger and angels and stupid remarks, you remember that game?

LOST IN A SCENE OF EMBRACES
AND I COULD SEE ALL THE PROOF IN THEIR FACES
THE DEVIL'S ONLY ONE THING, WE STOOD BESIDE THE HOUSE
AND WATCHED THE WAR COME DOWN...

you could not tell from this hand that i hold or my hearts only queen or the back of this mind
for certain hours the hours take minutes, the days and the weeks are the same

War comes down

Convince us
Beyond the faith of god a storm moves fast and low it's more and less the same for you So ease on day to day and think the world is sane it's lovely when it works that way YES, WE WILL Behind the face of god millions smile and nod 'saw them shake down even, odd? Beyond who's come or gone old theories right or wrong this tale is short and sweet and long YES, WE WILL (slippin' by...) Elemental prayer burns through me all mighty fist in your head while all the fish dream the sea this fire needs to be fed... (convince us)

Convince us

Beyond the faith of god

Elemental prayer burns through me
all mighty fist in your head
while all the fish dream the sea
this fire needs to be fed... (convince us)

So easy, so cool
Enough said, everyone's crashed, good times, going so fast, that's life, and living it's crazy You'd like drowning in love, no doubt the truth it will come, aim low, it's better than changing IF EVERYTHING'S STILL EASY, AND EVERYTHING'S STILL COOL THE SUMMER SUN KEEPS RISING, THE MOON IS ALWAYS FULL... (let me know) Cuz even when we're laughing... I don't trust you Too years never will end, it's alright, but never again, fuck that, made us all lazy Fresh eyes watching you chum, just luck, that luck is so dumb, aim high, it's better than changing So easy, so cool, so easy, so true

So easy, so cool

In the morning

It's fine, yes it's fine

(baby if things don't work out we'll grow up anyway)

Say goodbye
Was justified and it seemed like fate had brought around these things to be ours forever Good bye my monsters, i know i'll miss you, we had our moments, it don't seem right SAY GOODBYE, WITH INNOCENCE, SAY GOODBYE, WITH CONFIDENCE SAY GOODBYE, TILL HEAVEN SENDS YOU ALL THE STRENGTH THE STRENGTH TO CALL YOUR OWN Resistance dies, and it seems so vain We give a damn about things that were only borrowed on time regardless, and i believe it, you walk on water, i can't stay dry Summers fine, it's good for drinking, you could decide then to guide the losers home There ain't one

Say goodbye

Was justified and it seemed like fate had brought around these things to be ours forever
Good bye my monsters, i know i'll miss you, we had our moments, it don't seem right

SAY GOODBYE, WITH INNOCENCE, SAY GOODBYE, WITH CONFIDENCE
SAY GOODBYE, TILL HEAVEN SENDS YOU ALL THE STRENGTH
THE STRENGTH TO CALL YOUR OWN

Resistance dies, and it seems so vain
We give a damn about things that were only borrowed
on time regardless, and i believe it, you walk on water, i can't stay dry

Summers fine, it's good for drinking, you could decide then to guide the losers home

There ain't one

Sunny, sun, son
Sand the sea the stars the sand, you get it? sand and the sea of stars, over the falls, it's only decisions can't be made, come running fast it's always' the finest, summer time is on – I guess Should be five, five will get a laugh (tell me this) Found and lost and heat, five will get... (tell me this) Summer time is on

Everyday comes everynight
(Sure as darkness leads to light, everyday needs every night) Walked down the street to where the end is Don't have much time, so if there's a message, better send it, there we stand, through the years, hand in hand, never doubt, never question YOU CAN'T PAINT A HOUSE FROM THE INSIDE HAVE SOME FAITH IN THE WEATHER 'CUZ IT'S NEVER GONNA RAIN THIS WAY AGAIN... When every smile seems to be endless and all of your friends seem to be friendless Better end it YOU CAN'T PAINT A HOUSE FROM THE INSIDE GOT TO PLAN FOR SOME WEATHER IT MAY NEVER COME TO RAIN THIS WAY AGAIN (as sure darkness needs the light everyday comes every night)

Everyday comes everynight

(Sure as darkness leads to light, everyday needs every night)

Walked down the street to where the end is
Don't have much time, so if there's a message, better send it,
there we stand, through the years, hand in hand, never doubt, never question

YOU CAN'T PAINT A HOUSE FROM THE INSIDE
HAVE SOME FAITH IN THE WEATHER
'CUZ IT'S NEVER GONNA RAIN
THIS WAY AGAIN...

When every smile seems to be endless
and all of your friends seem to be friendless
Better end it

YOU CAN'T PAINT A HOUSE
FROM THE INSIDE
GOT TO PLAN FOR SOME WEATHER
IT MAY NEVER COME TO RAIN
THIS WAY AGAIN

(as sure darkness needs the light
everyday comes every night)

Word gifts
Senses fill this need for life, what a good time we'll enjoy learn to run then learn to fight, and besides this dark new seed not a word invades our mind, or pollutes this brand new day (can't afford a decent lie tailored to fit just right, can't afford an easy way out) prison's just our need to know, gonna live not talk this hour's all we got so on we go COME AND STAY FOR A WEEK OR A DAY WE'LL GET HIGH AS A MOUNTAIN COME AND TAKE WHAT YOU NEED COME AND TAKE WE'LL GO LOWER THAN LOW WORDS DRIFT BELOW US, THESE DAYS GO SLOWLY AND GENTLY HOLDS US, THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE... Moments so clearly tied, touch what's so clearly tied, and unused Gonna feel something do something great, bring your books bring your trust bring your faith fall asleep in the desert, wake up deep in the snow

WE'LL GO LOWER THAN LOW

WORDS DRIFT BELOW US, THESE DAYS GO SLOWLY
AND GENTLY HOLDS US, THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE...

Moments so clearly tied, touch what's so clearly tied, and unused

Gonna feel something do something great,
bring your books bring your trust bring your faith
fall asleep in the desert, wake up deep in the snow

Miss it
Hey, hey, hey, the stars all fall my way...it's surely changing, this situation round IF YOUR GONNA MISS IT, I GUESS YOUR GONNA MISS IT The stars all come my way...oh that to-do list goes on I checked but the party will not start, 'till all are a kin of all and some of us feel that some of us have forgotten...

Always everything
Always always always everything, never never saved a fucking thing finally finally got your bell to ring, fading fading fast from blue to green SEVEN DAYS ON THE LAMB, WATER AND SAND WAITS FOR YOUR HAND, SIMPLE DAYS ON THE RUN SAFE AS A GUN, GLAD YOU COULD COME Hey, not another word about you, hey, not a word about you Bye from west sun bows and starts the turn, time goes strange goes so slow and as we learn, light this night is just the moon's concern Always always always everything, finally finally got that inside clean

Always everything

Always always always everything, never never saved a fucking thing

SEVEN DAYS ON THE LAMB, WATER AND SAND
WAITS FOR YOUR HAND, SIMPLE DAYS ON THE RUN
SAFE AS A GUN, GLAD YOU COULD COME

Hey, not another word about you, hey, not a word about you

Bye from west sun bows and starts the turn, time goes strange goes so slow
and as we learn, light this night is just the moon's concern

Always always always everything, finally finally got that inside clean
