Endless Sunset Oblivion

|||
Last fragment, disbelief
A silhouette society
Bittersweet, profound
Shattered on the ground
Human being, hurt to feel
Stuck inside your living wheel
Turning every day
Until you fade away
From the very beginning
They got swallowed up
Couldn’t find their way back home
It could never be never-ending
It weighs, this life
And consequences, oh!
In my dreams I always die
Our planet falls and the seas rise
In this atmosphere
And in this art
There is no “why?”
In my dreams I always die
Gaze up at your end of days
Your star is spinning out of phase
Ursa Major failed (to guide)
Your god, your ship has sailed
I can’t let Luna see
What this world has done to me
I reach out my arm
To raise the last alarm
[Bridge]
Searching for answers
But we’ve got faulty hearts and empty minds
In this dream I hope we die
In my dreams I always die
Our planet falls and the seas rise
In this atmosphere
And in this art
There is no “why?”
In my dreams I always die
(In my dreams I always die)
Searching for faded colours
In broken hearts and falling skies
In my dreams I always die
(In my dreams I always die)

Heartbreak 101
Show me the ropes
Put my greatest regrets
Under the microscope
Pushing on summer
Crush on each other
We were just kids
And you said “One day I’ll read your palm…”
But you never did
Oh, you’ve fallen in love with somebody else
And I think I know him…
It was never enough, trying to cover it up
You were already gone
In our golden summer nights
Did I imagine?
In our faultless perfect days
Did we pretend?
I was too far behind you
But I had to find you
It’s now or it’s never
But when I found you, you were with him
And I lost you forever
Oh, you’ve fallen in love with somebody else
And I think I know him…
It was never enough, trying to cover it up
You were already gone
I’ve spent my life sinking
I’ve spent my life thinking
All of these thoughts away
But they’re here to stay
Have you learned your lesson yet?
You don’t ask don’t get
Lost in longing
Hooked on wanting
Pulled from somewhere, I don’t know
I won’t be there
You don’t need me
Soul leaves body
So enamoured
Stop telling me to stay
Stay
[Chorus]
Oh, you’ve fallen in love with somebody else
And I think I know him…
It was never enough, trying to cover it up
You were already gone
I’ve spent my life sinking
I’ve spent my life drinking
All of these thoughts away
But you’re here to stay
Have you learned your lesson yet?
You don’t ask don’t get
Never forget
You don’t ask don’t get

Talk About Anything
04:05
|
|||
In your mind’s great basement
You’re furthest from the sky
Hurts the most to find you
Always asking why
We can talk about anything you want to
It doesn’t have to be so tough
And hanging round, feeling down is doing nothing
We’ve got to get you off this stuff
In truth, no reason
Got you paralysed
Subvert your meaning
And build your paradise
We can talk about anything you want to
It doesn’t have to be so tough
And hanging round, feeling down is doing nothing
I promise you, you’re more than enough
Oh, if you could see what you’re doing to me
How ‘bout this
You’re going to make it
You’re going to make it
We can talk about anything you want to
Breathe life, let it fill your lungs
And let it go
(Oooh yeah)
I’ll be the pictures
Yeah, you’ll be the fire
(Oooh yeah)
I’ll be the pictures
Yeah, you’ll be the fire
(Oooh yeah)
Use the time to draw a line
And you never cross it
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus]

Let Down
05:07
|
|||
Please just let me say what I’m trying to say
Without interruption
It feels like so long since
We were living here
Oh, and I know what you’re trying to do
You’ll turn everyone against me
Has the absence made your heart turn black?
Or will it grow back?
It’s not up for discussion
Through the pain
You’ll learn to fight and live again
Though you’ve been let down and messed around
Time and time again
But if you stay
The sun will rise another day
And you won’t be let down or messed around ever again
Sometimes I don’t feel ok
But it’s enough to get by
To pass inspection
I’ve been trying to act the same damn way
Day to lonely day, it’s every day
I dream of floating away
Just like everyone around me
But the difference is
What I say, do
Or will it come true?
The insurrection!
[Chorus]
Every atom comprising me
Resides in this human condition
Every feeling inside of me
Every feeling inside of me
Relies on your every decision
Every atom comprising me
Every atom comprising me
Every feeling inside of me
Feeling so let down and messed around
But just you wait
[Chorus]
‘Cos if you stay
You’ll live to fight another day
And you won’t be let down or messed around
Ever
No, you won’t be let down or messed around
Just you wait
No, you won’t be let down or messed around
Ever again

Los Angeles
05:17
|
|||
After passing out in Tennessee
I wake up in Los Angeles
Look Ma, I’m finally free
No-one holding on to me
See, you and me
We’re friends of the night
Closing bar after bar
Until morning light
We’ve seen things you’ll never see
Far less even believe
Do you ever sometimes wish you could
Go back to when your life was good
Instead of doing all the other things you should…?
We were always meant to be together
You stole my heart in Bronson Canyon
I didn’t think that life could ever get better
When we were Bulleit-proof in the Frolic Room
I swear this boulevard goes on forever…
Laid out in stars, my journey here was everclear
Oh, Los Angeles
Imagine living up in the hills
Solving all your problems with pills
Living a life of abandon
Fast cars, cheap thrills
I’m the closest that I’ll ever be
Sitting in Boardner’s on North Cherokee
Tarot cards on the floor
Last call, “Two more…”
This isn’t what I came here to see
But there’s no place that I’d rather be
When the Chateau Marmont piano sounds so sweet…
[Chorus]
Everybody’s trying to get clean
Passing round the 714s
In a Studio City motel room
Wondering what it all means
Do you ever sometimes wish you could
Go back to when your life was good
Instead of paying to play West Hollywood…?
This isn’t what I came here to see
But there’s no place that I’d rather be
Sunset drunk, look what you’ve done to me…
Oh, Los Angeles

Take It Easy On Me
05:01
|
|||
I’m forever losing sleep, hoping you will see
My words, written out on the window
I’M T-R-Y-I-N-G
Held by the weight of a dream, the last I’ll ever need
My radio plays in the grass, you laying next to me
We’re all searching for some kind of meaning we can’t believe in
I’m just trying to get through to the clearing, beyond the trees
I spent five thousand nights, building up a courage you alone will see
So please…Take it easy on me
I fell away from my purpose
A doubt distilled deep in me
Watching the river run dry, getting thirsty…
I fuelled the fires in your desert
Nearly drowned in your plastic seas
I’d suffer a million miles, just to hear you say no to me
[Bridge]
Take it easy on me
Too many people got greedy
Throwing up buildings and cutting down trees
Pressing my face to the glass, but I don’t want to see
I’ll pin my hopes to an angel
Right here in my garden, the Vision I see
Hoping to fly with you, away from this misery
Home is a place where I feel no pain
Home is anywhere I feel ok
Home is you still smiling at me, soaked in Scottish rain
No way…Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me, Take it easy
Alone on a ledge
Nothing is real, here in my garden
Except my hands, in front of me
Show me the things that make me only human
Show me the places hurt by the things I see
Throw me into the heart of the burning sun, when there’s nothing else to see
Oh, please…
Take it easy on me

In glowing lights, on drunken nights
You’re a sight for my sore soul
I see you there, climbing the stairs
And the emptiness is gone
So unprepared
For a kindness so rare
And a love to leave alone
But you heard me asking
So take me to task
I can see you need someone
And darling, I stand alone
I’ve known the pain of a glorious day
A heart, left out in the sun
I’ve lived, but I didn’t know anything
‘Til the moment that you came along
I swear that I saw it
Gone in a moment
Your eyes, telling me I belong
Or maybe I always put too much in moments
When I should keep moving
It’s all about carrying on…
Oh, Lille…
Leave this on
I’ve dreamt of those eyes
This mesmerize, so long
Don’t lean on tomorrow
‘Cos love will have been and gone
It’s so good to see you
Before you just felt so wrong
I no longer stand alone
Looking outside
I see blue and pink skies
From my two day forever home
Your depth and your light
Keeping me by your side
All nerves, in the presence of hope
We talk of this world
The sublime, the absurd
And things, meaningless gone wrong
And I may never know what it feels like to hold you
But I know how you’re feeling
And I’m glad that you’re not alone
Alone
I’ve dreamt of those eyes
This mesmerize (so long)
Don’t lean on tomorrow
‘Cos love will have been (and gone)
I know how you’re feeling
And I’m glad that you’re not alone

We Could Be Anywhere
03:54
|
|||
Seventeen, on the run
Do you remember
Sharing tunes and having fun
Like I remember you, when we were young?
Oh, those days when you would run to me
Better than ‘Ten’, you were ‘Yield’ or ‘Siamese Dream’
In the summer of this book
In simpler times
If I come down, then this is true
If I open my eyes, I will see you
But if I dare to keep them closed
We could be anywhere
Oh, in a heartbeat I’d go back
Watching you grow each day, in wonder
And not waste a day
Knowing we’re short on precious time
All your beauty in a major chord
Taking me from verse to chorus
Stuck on repeat, ‘cos I just can’t get enough
[Chorus]
If I come around, this dream is through
I’ve got nothing to hide, far less to lose
But if I’m strong enough to choose
We could be anywhere
You danced into the woods
And I remember losing time and sight of you
And just like that, we ran out of time
Cut/Fade up, to fields… where my heart reels
My broken shield, left way behind
My wounds won’t heal
And this love you feel…
There’s none as real as mine
[Chorus]
(We could be anywhere…)
Seventeen, on the run
Do you remember
Sharing tunes and having fun
Like I remember you, when we were young?
Oh, those days when you would run to me
Better than ‘Ten’, you were ‘Yield’ or ‘Siamese Dream’
In the summer of this book
In simpler times
We could be anywhere

Cycle Of Sadness
05:56
|
|||
Chanteuse, teach me to be brave
My Muse, a million miles away
I was just a young boy
Waiting to be saved
Now I’m just an old man
Trying to run away
A haze, slowburns in the street
Malaise, ‘til the next time that we meet
I was just a young boy
Trying to be brave
Now I’m just an old man
Circling his grave
I was in darkness, you were my guiding light
Until death crept inside and stole you
Like a thief in the night
The sirens, they screamed
Taking your very being out of sight
Starting a cycle of sadness
That surely will last all of time
I was just a young man
Trying to understand
Now I’m just an old man
Digging with his hands
[Chorus]
And through it all, we come to find
We need love to realise
Heed the call and change the turning tide
(Change the turning tide)
Or lose it all, to suicide
[Chorus]
I find a powerful meaning in lost goodbyes
But in all of the madness, I’m going to need you tonight
I held the phone out, so you wouldn’t hear me cry
(Hear me cry)
To break this cycle of sadness
To hear you sing one more time
To break this cycle of sadness
To hear you sing one last time
|

I walk alone, almost home
Almost gone
Despite my throne, I don’t know what’s going on
Tried to stay open, make it last
Resolute and hoping, heart of glass
This is just a moment, it will pass
Stay afloat, come and go
Don’t look down
Fill your cup, colour up and then get out
Tried to stay open, make it last
Skin cut, bones broken
Raining Glass
This is just a moment, it will pass
Tried to stay open, make it last
Skin cut, bones broken
Had a blast
This is just a moment, it will pass
