[lyrics]
Breathe
Can you taste the rain
Don't say I didn't warn you
Sleep
Can you dream in more than black and white
Kaleidoscope nights
Believe
Can you feel the warmth
Don't
care about the next day
Sleep
Can you dream in more than black and white
Kaleidoscope nights
We all lack a colour that we need
So please won't you be my green
Release
Can you feel the pain
Won't
Let yourself enjoy things
Let me tell you, mate, Oh, I'm right there with you
I threw away the perfect date and now I'm feeling blue
I'm a yellow belly coward who just hides at home
But at least I see in more than shades of red and monochrome
And I feel in more than black and white
Kaleidoscope nights
We all lack a colour that we need
So please won't you be my green
Kaleidoscope nights
We all need another and for me that's you
So please won't you be my blue
The colours drip and dry and everybody cries when they realise they're stained
So own your shade and own your hue
You're only you, and yes it's true
the blue she left rubs off on you but don't you see that everyone is burdened with their stains
So own mistakes and let yourself be you
We all need to
bleed and let the red
run into the blue
Oooh oooh
Kaleidoscope nights
We all lack a colour that we need
So please won't you be my green
Kaleidoscope nights
(We all need to)
We all need another and for me that's you
(bleed and let the red)
So please won't you be my blue
(run into the blue)
Kaleidoscope nights
We all need another and for me that's you
So please won't you be my blue

[lyrics]
Time to go and put this life together
Let the pieces grow
I'm alone and I feel as light as weather
from San Diego ooh woo oh ooh
And although
I'm sorry
Well, I'm not sorry.
I'm below and I want to stay forever
Let my lungs fill up
Time to go and make up words together
Feel like a Jumble Dee; a Diddly Dee
And though it seems
I'm sorry
Well, I'm not sorry
Now I realise you were poison
You were poison
You were poison
You were poison
And I've found
The antidote and I just guzzled down
Let it take control
Watch out below
I'm sure I'll be crashing down
Nothing lasts too long ooh woo oh ooh
And although
I'm sorry
Well, I'm not sorry
Sad eyes fade
Sad eyes fade
Sad eyes fade
Sad eyes fade
The antidote and I just guzzled down
Let it take control
Watch out below
I'm sure I'll be crashing down
Nothing lasts too long ooh woo oh ooh
And although
I'm sorry
Well, I'm not sorry
Coming down from your poison
Let it out and forgive you
Something sad is within me
Get back out, it's a new view
There's no remedy
But you were poison
There's no revelry
And you were poison

Teeth

[lyrics]
We're all finite,
Except for that guy over there,
Just for tonight,
Let me be a little unfair.
Teeth in lips,
Tongue in teeth,
Tongue tied up,
Read my lips.
We're all alone,
Except for people out of the loop,
Just our bones,
Covered in goopy goop.
Teeth in lips,
Tongue in teeth,
Tongue tied up,
Read my lips.
We're all awake,
From the dream that haunts our nights,
Just a quick break,
From the snake that never bites.
Teeth in lips,
Tongue in teeth,
Tongue tied up,
Read my lips.
Hold on tight,
Ignore the light,
I cannot do this alone,
I need you here.
(We don't belong!)

I Bet You Would
03:58
|

|
[lyrics]
Would you stay with me,
If all my dreams were made of glass,
And all the crowd was armed with stone.
I bet you would.
I bet you would.
Would you hold me down,
If I renounced my faith in time,
and all the clocks were faced with doubt.
You wish for nothing more than to say the words:
I'd appreciate, the space.
And if you could,
I bet you would.
I bet you would.
So where do we go from here?
The answer is anything but clear.
And how will I know you're near?
the answer is if I still feel the fear.
And for the record: I do.
You need a way to wrap up your dreams in life.
Disguise them as grey, and hide them amongst the clouds.
The people will say you mustn't just float about.
The storm, it's coming soon and everyone's afraid,
So when it rains, make sure it stains.
And when you do,
I'll be there too.

Treehouse
04:03
|
|||
|
[lyrics]
Kiss your friends and hug your enemies,
come back down when you've had time to think.
Your treehouse lies inside a tree,
Obviously, it's kind of obvious to me.
Okay, I guess I'll start,
My name is not important, but my actions have all been,
Don't take, my words to heart,
The blame is not a constant, it's just a distraction from the scene.
So pick a side you like,
But watch yourself 'cause friends will turn on you if you dare to dream.
So kiss your friends and hug your enemies,
And come back down when you've had time to think.
Your treehouse lies inside a tree,
Obviously, it's kind of obvious to me.
Let's take, a running start,
The speed is not important, it's the distance that we go.
They'll say, we're worlds apart,
We should focus on our orbit, that's the consistence we each know.
So look above at night,
And watch the stars 'cause they're the same for as your worst enemy.
So kiss your friends and hug your enemies,
And come back down when you've had time to think.
Your treehouse lies inside a tree,
Obviously, it's kind of obvious to me.
So kiss your friends and hug your enemies,
And come back down when you've had time to think.
Your treehouse lies inside a tree,
Obviously, it's kind of obvious to me.

I wonder why
It took you so long to figure out
I'm on your side
And you come to me
With your problems
And I'll help to solve them
I needed more
Than I thought I would so here I am
(Hi)
I need your help now
That's what your for
And what I am too, we're helping out
(Uurrhh)
Each other rise again
And you come to me
With your problems
And I'll help to solve them
And I come to you
(Thank you all for being there)
With my problems
(Thank you all for being there)
And you'll help to solve them
(Thank you all for being there)

Flintlock Wink
03:43
|
|||
|
You've got a flintlock wink
and a shotgun smile
I know you'll get your way again
You've got a butcher's grip
and a Shogun's stare
This is getting to be a tired trend
You've got a flintlock wink
and a shotgun smile
I know you'll get your way again
You've got a giant chip
and a comfy chair
This is getting to be a tired trend
Catch the smoke
Slipping like the shower soap
To my surprise
I can see it in your eyes
Catch the smoke
Can we tie it to a rope
To my surprise
You cut me off
Can we shine
Can we last
I never wanted more than this so I'll be fine
Tell me how long
Has it been a while
Tell me I'm wrong
I can see it in your eyes
You've got a blunderbuss
hidden under your coat
I hope you get to see the end
You've got a student's lip
but a teacher's glare
This is getting to me my cutthroat friend
Can we shine
Can we last
I never wanted more than this so I'll be fine
Tell me how long
Has it been a while
Tell me I'm wrong
I can see it in your eyes
Can we shine
Can we last
I never wanted more than this so I'll be fine
Tell me how long
Has it been a while
Tell me I'm wrong
I can see it in your eyes

Big Mistake
03:55
|

|
[lyrics]
I'd have hoped by now that you'd shut your mouth
and selfish minds belong together
Have you ever wished for something more
Then realised you'd rather be in the before
You know the sound that plays inside your mind when you make a big mistake
I recommend you get away, 'cause I'm not responsible for what I say
You know the sound that plays inside your mind when you make a big mistake
Apprehend the mind astray, lock it up and throw away the key today
Unprovoked, I mount a strong endeavour
Righteous hopes are wrong forever
Have you ever fought with all your strength
Then realised you've barely made the smallest dent
Wait, what's that I hear
There's a siren in my head
You know the sound that plays inside your mind when you make a big mistake
(You twist and shift all I say)
I recommend you get away, 'cause I'm not responsible for what I say
You know the sound that plays inside your mind when you make a big mistake
(I despair what I bear today)
Apprehend the mind astray, lock it up and throw away the key today

[lyrics]
Don't take me seriously
I swear, I'm nearly asleep
There's no more sheep
For me to count
I've reached my amount
I've lost my place
in line
for a dream; divine
I twist
I turn
Just for a nightmare
One warm enough for it to burn
I love deliriously
I swear I'm failing to keep
My head below these clouds
My bed it goes straight down
Right to His keep
What a place
Where all the weak touch base
I beg
I plead
Don't hold me down here
I swear that I'll be better
The cinders of my cold remains
The cinders of my cold remains
Don't take me seriously
I swear, I'm merely a freak
I sometimes dream
of leaves that slice
my schemes; precise
What does that mean
I'm stumped
And when I weep, I slump
I bend
I break
I snap and splinter
When I catch the winds of winter
The freezing cold of my mistakes
How can one be hot and cold?
How can one be weak yet bold?
I'm deathly tired yet awake, I lay
Directly tied to my own decay
I'm brave
I'm afraid
I wrap my wounds with
a healthy dose of humour
I laugh away all heartache
I laugh away all heartache

The Bark Of You
04:32
|
|||
|
[lyrics]
Would you like to see my mind
Full of confident doubts and assured regrets
Pull off competent designs
Just let go
Please let go
And it's been a long time now
But I never thought I'd be here
Forever tryin' to work it out
Just let go
Please let go
All I see when I look inside myself and try to find the blame
It's all in you and every time I look above all I think is someone's faking this
Never been a betting bloke
But I bet you'll twist the knife again
Regretting every time you spoke
Shut this down
Tear this down
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
And in the shadow of the perfect sun
I've become an afterglow that tries to cast its own shape upon the world
And I'm desperate to make my mark
Scratch my name into the bark of you
Into the bark of you
You speak true, nice and true
You sneak through, right on through
Don't tell me what I lost, what I gained
There's no need to count costs and explain
So basically there's nothing you can say to me
That lets me down this easily
And all I ask is this
don't leave me in the
Shadow of the perfect sun
I've become an afterglow that tries to cast its own shape upon the world
And I'm desperate to make my mark
Scratch my name into the bark of you
Into the bark of you
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more

[lyrics]
Hold on too tight
Watch it all slip away
It's coming close but it never seems to stay
This short life becomes far too long
My tired eyes return to light
it hasn't been that tough
Brighten up the skies with fire
Red clouds all I see tonight
Turn on too bright
watch it all burn away
Wounds close as they're eaten by the flame
This short life becomes far too long
My tired eyes return to light
It hasn't been that tough
Brighten up the skies with fire
Red clouds all I see tonight
One by one
We ignite
Like lamps
Once the night returns

Oh, That's What!
03:59
|

|
[lyrics]
I don't deserve the things I have
But screw it cause you won't see me complaining
There's a lesson here to be had
Are you prepared because it's quite cliche
good things come to those who wait
So one day
I went all the way on a train
My eye sight is dog poo, I'm colour blind too
but when I arrived the sky turned bright blue
But before I learned my lesson
On my mind, there was this question
Every time I closed my eyes I asked myself
Well, now what
I sang alone and doubled up
with the hopes that I could sound strong
But I saw through me
Oh, that's what
I guess it's fine just as long as I can make you cry
With a melody and sing it pleasantly
La da da, da da
Da da, da da, da da
da da da da
La da da, da da
Da da, da da, da da
da da da da
I have the nerve not to be sad
It's really easy once you find your own way
That might just take a small while
And while you wait enjoy the sun and the rain
All your mates are waiting, your girl is too
but keep in mind they've been sad too
But before I learned my lesson
On my mind, there was this question
Every time I closed my eyes I asked myself
Well, now what
I sang alone and doubled up
with the hopes that I could sound strong
But I saw through me
Oh, that's what
I guess it's fine just as long as I can make you cry
With a melody and sing it pleasantly
There's always tomorrow
There's always tomorrow
There's always tomorrow
You are the answer
I can't wait
I can't wait
I can't wait for you
You are the answer
Well, now what
I sang alone and doubled up
with the hopes that I could sound strong
But I saw through me
Oh, that's what
I guess it's fine just as long as I can make you cry
With a melody and sing it pleasantly
La da da, da da
Da da, da da, da da
da da da da
La da da, da da
Da da, da da, da da
da da da da
La da da, da da
Da da, da da, da da
da da da da
La da da, da da
Da da, da da, da da
da da da da
