Ooooh-oh Those terrible things Hold out their fingers covered in rings Ooooh-oh Concievable kings Try to know us Try to push us to go Posing as someone we know… Put something on your back Move your feet a little bit Faster, faster You know how to attack But maybe now’s a time to Answer, answer (You can) hide in the trees for all your life No one else can take advice Keep your eye on the people below In a world of words will anyone know If not for you and I This wool’s as good as dyed The tricks they play Have already won the day. If not for you and I Who keeps the dream alive? The games we play Are they worth the price we could pay? Please don’t turn your back Don’t walk away from us Faster, faster Besides the red or black None of us can know the Answer, answer You gotta come down from the trees some time And maybe you could build a lie Meant to help the people below It’s a world of words and no one knows If not for you and I Who keeps the dream alive? The tricks we play Have already won the day. If not for you and I Who keeps the dream alive? The games we play Are they worth the price we could pay? If not for you and I Who keeps the dream alive The tricks we play Have already won the day. If not for you and I Who keeps the dream alive The games we play Are they worth the price we could pay? I picture your face and it’s all I have Remembering where we began. When the wind dies down and the water is still Believing in us, beginning a plan: It begins with a stranger, Don’t mind the danger, No one will know Nobody can.

Do you wanna stand still here And listen to the story? Do you wanna feel something Wanna let that happen? Do you wanna be open Take leave of your skills? Make a waste of the time You spent building this armor: Just wring em out And don’t stop moving Keep on breathing, keep on moving Maybe this is what Makes you human but I don’t have to I don’t want to Do you wanna be honest After all of this damn time That you spent getting so good At winning this battle And are you gonna let them Tell ya that you belong here That because you’re a human This is what you must be: Let them evaporate And just get moving Keep on breathing, laugh like it’s nothing Maybe this is what Makes us human but I don’t have to I don’t want to. I don’t know what to leave behind So I try to leave it all I don’t know how to say goodbye So I say nothing at all I don’t know if I’m alright So you can make that call I don’t know what I look like Is there anyone here at all?

Come: let me wrap you in heartstrings Come: only just been torn out Come: let me wrap you in garlands Brought from the back of the house Run: in my dreams I can see you Run: down the hall on your own Run: or just lie where I left you In weeds, and (under?) willows, on linoleum. Get me outta the world, there’s a pony in the woodshed and it seems like she’s been hiding there for years (and her fangs are growing fast) Yeah I’m part of the light that’s covering your body, and I’m I’m part of the skin that you wear (Wrapped around you like a cast) You: may have really forgotten You; you once loved me to death (I once loved you to death) You: your eyes are still green After all this time, so is your breath Burn: all the letters you sent me Burn: all the pages I wrote Burn, but they’re burned in my memory In bile and brine; you can tell by the smoke Let’s not argue, let’s not reason Reason only makes you weaker, I can stretch and I can bend but I’m glued to you and It’s wearing me out So go, let me go, oh don’t sigh. No hold, hold me close, oh don’t cry. Get me outta the world, there’s a pony in the woodshed and it seems like she’s been hiding there for years (and her fangs are growing fast) Yeah I’m part of the light that’s covering your body, and I’m I’m part of the skin that you wear (Wrapped around you like a cast)

Open up a bottle And open up your ears Play whatever you can Play whatever you’ve got If you open up your eyes They might dry right out And if you open up your mouth You’ll never talk again But if you lay your body down On the hot hot stones You’ll never get cold, Never ever get cold. Something cold something green, something gold Everyone out here is old, but I will never be The only trees that grow here Are low and pale and may as well be dust they may as well be dust or shaped like ancient strangers That will someday march on all of us Take to the hills Hold up your arms Take to the mountains Drink up the sun Swallow that gold light Let it inside Stay with me Stay with me You can see for miles You can chase the fading light Where the red mountains glow And stay warm through the night The birds sing songs That have words you don’t know And the sky is a map Of a place you can’t go. Look through the dark Look to the sky To the stars and the lights that go by Still and yet turning Adrift in a waterless sea Stay with me.
