Lyrics from Under (Album)
UNDER (album)*
Moments
Days of sabotage and storms
Of reckless haze
Dreary lights in the calm
And remorse
We’re not prisoners of our actions
Nor our worst enemies
Only in the calm after
The onslaught
Give us shelter in moments of riot
Give us shelter in disarray
We’re not prisoners of our actions
Nor our worst enemies
Only in the calm after
The onslaught
Give us shelter in moments of riot
Give us shelter in disarray
*NightTime*
How did I get here I think I asked for it
Straight long road ahead three figures further and further
Every howl in my heart
Every stain in my head
Can’t they hear me scream
Running through the air
Around me worlds collide
This is the final hour
There’s a place in my mind they stop walking
Time stands still so I can catch up with them
Every howl in my heart
Every stain in my head
Can’t they hear me scream
Running through the air
Around me worlds collide
This is the final hour
Why are they trying to leave me behind
Time stands still so I can get them in my mind
Every howl in my heart
Every stain in my head
Can’t they hear me scream
Running through the air
Around me worlds collide
This is the final hour
Around me buildings falling
Running through the air
Every howl in my heart
Every stain in my head
Can’t they hear me scream
Running through the air
Around me worlds collide
This is the final hour

*Under*
It’s just a figment
Of your intelligence
I know what you were thinking under
We are what we think we are
I know what you were thinking under
Put me under
We are not the same
I promise you that
Can you promise me
That you won’t think it again
And I promise you that I’ll take everything back
If I could see myself through yours
I’d know what you were thinking under
But I’ll forgive myself
Cos we’re all the same
I’d know what you were thinking under
* *
Put me under
We are not the same
I promise you that
Can you promise me
That you won’t think it again
And I promise you that I’ll take everything back
We are not the same
I promise you that
Can you promise me
That you won’t think it again
And I promise you that I’ll take everything back

*Held*
* *
We walk all alone
In this we suffer
We moan
Displaced debris
Collective doubt
Endless journey
To be unbound
And held
We walk all alone
In this we suffer
We moan
Displaced debris
Collective doubt
Endless journey
To be unbound
And held

*Beastie Queen*
It's wet outside I’ll sink right down
These murky mounds I’ll choke I’ll drown
Into endless clouds push my head right down
To the ends of the earth
In the dregs and the dirt
Into bottoms of my hidden voice
And rising oceans of my hidden poison
Right deep down to the ends of the earth
In the dregs and the dirt
I'll sink right down
Push my head down
Are you beautiful cos they told you so
Are you a beast or a beauty when you're on your own
It's cold outside I’ll sink right down
These murky mounds I’ll choke I’ll drown
Into bottoms of my hidden voice
And rising oceans of my hidden poison
Right deep down to the ends of the earth
In the dregs and the dirt
I'll sink right down
Push my head down
Are you beautiful cos they told you so
Are you a beast or a beauty when you're on your own
*All things pretty*
* *
See you shine precious
Through these pallid shades of grey
Come over here
And play with me
Here’s my heart, let’s swim
Through a bliss-coated kiss
We could be all things
Pretty and precious
We could run
We could run
We could be
We could be
We could run
We could be
We could be
Things pretty
We could run
Through eternity
We could run
I want a pallid shade of grey
Make precious go away
I throw my heart through your window
And drown myself in your bath
* *
We could run
We could be
We could be
Things pretty
We could run
Through eternity
* *
* *

*Note to Self *
It hurts I've lost my mind
I'm a sorry sight tonight
It'll turn up soon
I can't think where I had it last time
I know this is not the last time
It'll turn up soon
The lights are coming through the blinds
I feel so sick tonight
It'll turn up soon
And the walls are closing in now
And i know that i'm being bad but
It'll be alright
This dirty feeling
I'm losing sense
I'm losing sight
How'd I get here tonight
It hurts I've lost my mind
I'm a sorry sight tonight
It'll turn up soon
I can't think where I had it last time
I know this is not the last time
It'll turn up soon
This dirty feeling
I'm losing sense
I'm losing sight
How'd I get here tonight
I'm almost gone tonight
This dirty feeling
On broken glass
I'm on my knees
How'd I get here tonight
I'm almost gone tonight
* *
*Shiny Tears*
I have some qualities and some included things
That have their own life
And those that I’ve made
And those that I dream
It’s such a hard life
Move my arms and move my legs
And you’ll pat my back
And take all my included things
No more
Not remembering anything before today
Or I could take them out
One at a time, one at a time
Shine with the qualities in the light
Shine with the qualities
And with shiny tears
No more
Shiny tears
Shiny tears are burning bright.

*Little Steps*
* *
It feels like the first one of the last days coming round
Reflecting in our water
In our direction
Little steps off the ground
Now is the time to realise
And create what we want now
Reflecting in our water
It was a lie
It’s the first day in disguise
Eyes to eyes
Hand to hand
Give me yours
I’ll give you mine
Eyes to eyes
Hand to hand
Give me yours
And I’ll give you mine
Eyes to eyes
Hand to hand
Little steps off the ground
Eyes to eyes
Hand to hand
Give me yours
I’ll give you mine
Little steps off the ground
Give me yours
I’ll give you mine
*Gone and Buried*
* *
Underground
There’s a place
Lonely hearts sound
A quiet place
But I can’t bury you now
We don’t get lost somehow
I knew it from the first day
To be whole
I‘m sick of you everyday
I really need you to go away
Underground in a place that’s safe
Now disappear in time and space
Underground
There’s no place
For soul mates found
Hearts embraced
But I can’t bury you now
We don’t get lost somehow
I knew it from the first day
To be whole
* *
I‘m sick of you everyday
I really need you to go away
Underground in a place that’s safe
Now disappear in time and space
*
*
**Underground
There’s no place
For soul mates found
Hearts embraced
* *
