Papercut

Heard em through the ceiling
Making love til after 2
I lie awake and think of you
I've got that summer feeling
Sweating through the sleepless nights
These careless hands have made a mess
Turned our dreams into regrets
And now all that's left
I'm nothing, nothing
I’m stumbling around
Our memories surround me
And I'm struggling
Just holding it down
It keeps trickling out of me
I've been bleeding slowly
Started as a papercut
I didn't even notice
I never felt so ghostly
Guess it was a deeper cut
We had a good thing going
But in the heat of a moment
Broke it
We had a good thing going
No way of going back
I'm nothing, nothing
I’m stumbling around
Our memories surround me
And I'm struggling
Just holding it down
It keeps trickling out of me
I'm nothing, nothing
I’m stumbling around
Our memories surround me
And I'm struggling
Just holding it down
It keeps trickling out of me
I'm nothing, nothing
Without your love
Without you touch
And I'm struggling
Just holding it down
It keeps trickling out of me

I'll Make Room

They didn't find his body for three days
It will take a couple weeks for the smell to go away
So Maria told me
You heard ‘bout kid got shot
Late last night around the block?
Go look you’ll see the cops
I’m no lying
Pour it all into me baby
I’ll make room for you
It’s nice to see more Europeans
Moving in this weekend
Michelle said to me and
Then she saw my girlfriend
Guess she didn’t like her skin
Now she keeps her distance from us
Pour it all into me baby
I’ll make room for you
Walking sack of karma
Soaking up the trauma like a sponge
Thought it might be different
But this neighborhood’s like every other one
And yet I’m in love with it
Pour it all into me baby
I’ll make room for you

Wasted Time

All of this time, wasted
With my mind in places I could never be
All of this time
Could’ve been loving you
All of this time, wasted
One of these days I’ll slow down
All of this time
Could’ve been loving you
Time, Wasted
Could’ve been loving you

Strangers Again
03:34

You say that you need constant change
It's not that I want things to stay the same
I just want someone to hold onto
Love let me fall into you
We’ve become
Strangers again
Talking past each other
When we know how hard we fell
You used to know me so well
You used to know me so well
But now we’re like strangers again
We’ve been living separate lives
Tryin to keep two different dreams alive
I don’t know how I expected things to be
We punch in, punch out
Hit the pillow, fall asleep
We’ve become
Strangers again
Talking past each other
When we know how hard we fell
You used to know me so well
I know that I should’ve made more of an effort baby
I didn’t want for the two of us to end up this way
Strangers again
Talking past each other
When we know how hard we fell
You used to know me so well
You used to know me so well
But now we’re like strangers again

La Pluie

Cherie, comment ça va chez toi, comment ça va chez toi, tu est tres loin de moi
Cherie comment tu va ce soir, comment tu va ce soir, tu est tres loin de moi
Il fait nuit, Il est tard
Sur la route, sur mon velo
Je conduis vers toi
La pluie tombe du ciel, La pluie tombe du ciel
Et je suis tous mouillé, je suis tous mouillé
La pluie tombe du ciel, La pluie tombe du ciel
Et je suis tous mouillé, je suis tous mouillé
Il fait nuit, Il est tard
Sur la route, sur mon velo
Je conduis vers toi
Sous la pluie, sous la pluie

Blood

Never far away, The glow is like a drug
Beating in my hand, Now I can feel your blood
I could never get enough
Dust in your eyes, You’re digging with your hands
Automatic rifles watch over your lands
Our hunger never ends
Do I even know what’s in, do I even know what’s in my hands
I depend on (You, your blood)
I feel it, I see it, Oh I depend on (You, your blood)
I could never get enough
It sparkles in your air, It’s killing off your crops
Poisoning your water, But I won’t let you stop
Give me everything you’ve got
Do we even know what’s in? Do we even know what’s in our hands?
Oh, we depend (I live by your death, ooh, I live by your death)
I depend on (You, your blood)
I feel it, I see it, Oh I depend on (You, your blood)
From your hand into my hand
The passage of a debt I can’t repay
The ghosts inside the objects that I crave
Sing of suffering that never goes away
It never goes away
Help me understand
The rivulets of blood that flow between
The life behind the glass and glowing screen
Shatter every lie that I still believe, Oh, I still believe
I live by your death, Oh, I live by your death
I’m forever in your debt

Illuminator

Three kids asleep sitting next to her
Trying her best to
Act like the train don’t smell like a restroom
On her way to work wearing perfume
I’m leaned back on the door watching her through
A crowd full of strangers in commute
I don’t even know what she’s been through
I don’t even know what she’s been through
There’s something in her face
A luminescence, a calm devotion
I’m imagining her day
All the love and labor that goes unnoticed
Mama holds her baby tight
Cause she knows it’s gonna be a bumpy ride
Still a ways to go before we arrive
We praise her, praise her
Illuminator
I’m wondering if she fears all will fail
If she lets up for a moment
I’m wondering if she blames
Blames herself for things she can't control
And there is something in her face
A luminescence, a calm devotion
I’m imagining her day
All the love and labor that goes unnoticed
Mama holds her baby tight
Cause she knows it’s gonna be a bumpy ride
Still a ways to go before we arrive
We praise her, praise her
Illuminator
Ooo she’s just like my mother
Her light, warm on my face
Ooo she’s just like my mother
Ooo carrying me away

Try Again
03:46

What would you do to get to me?
What would you say to have your way?
Would you give up or try again
If I hesitate to let you win?
Would you be yourself or play your role?
Tell all the boys or keep it low?
If I say no would you turn away
Or play me off or would you stay?
If at first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again
If at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again
I'm into you, you’re into me
But I can’t let it go so easily
Not 'til I see what this could be
Be eternity or just a week
You know, our chemistry is off the chain
It’s perfect now, but will it change?
This aint a yes
This aint a no
Just do your thang
We'll see how it goes
If at first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off and try it again
You can dust it off and try again
If at first you don't succeed
You can dust it off and try it again
Dust yourself off and try again
If I let this go
I hope you're responsible
Is it my go, is it your go?
Say yes or say no
'Cause I really need somebody
Tell me are you that somebody

When It's Time

When it’s time to leave you
My arms stretch, hoping to receive you
As you wipe a single tear
We know I won’t be here
Scared that I may lose you
With loving words I try to soothe you
But you turn away from me
Outside, they say it’s time
In you the fire
In you the light
In you the dream-world, come to life
Eye of the storm, can’t you see?
When it’s time to leave you
You tell me words will not deceive you
With your back to me you sigh
And I don’t know what to do
In you the fire
In you the light
In you the dream-world, come to life
Eye of the storm, can’t you see?
In you my love
In you my peace
In you my shadows find release
You chase the tempest out to sea
When it’s time to leave you
