Twist and shout There's monsters hereabouts Let's go smoke them out Look at you So soft and small and white I could talk to you all night But maybe there's a chance for you and me, in the absence of predators, to make it last and write more precious harmonies for no one else to hear Children out on transatlantic tours My seat next to yours When we arrive I don't want them to see That you're next to me But maybe there's a chance for you and me, in the absence of predators, to make it last and write more precious harmonies for no one else to hear We were heaven sent But I see no more, I see no reason to look back, look down, look back, look down The cut that hurts the most and bleeds the most is one inflicted by a friend Too bad, too bad, too bad Say no more We all love labor's laws in a man Kick and scream We all know what you mean And we don't care We don't fucking care Maybe one day we'll meet again On some other spectral plane We'll go dancing by ourselves We won't need to breathe this air Can't you feel yourself distending like a bear? And no one cares how you sound Can't you hear yourself You sound like someone's trash they took out because it was not worth a damn Oh no It can't be true The paper heart I gave to you Oh no It can't be true The paper heart I gave to you Twist and shout There's monsters hereabouts Let's go smoke them out Look at you So soft and small and white I could talk to you all night But maybe there's a chance for you and me, in the absence of predators, to make it last and write more precious harmonies for no one else to hear

Heaven help me it's a long way down When the body breaks it makes a sickening sound And the brain busts out when it hits the ground You'd sink and savor anybody now Stand and stare at the open door Breathe out air 'til you're emptier And you don't even feel it when you hit the floor In this day and age who could ask for more Aaaaahhhhhhh aaaahhh Where am I? So cold in here Concrete walls A mounting fear Did I do something wrong? Are you angry with me? Did the best I could I'm only human Can you cast me away with a condescending smile? Can you ever forgive me? Oh no Reaching back for memories Cannot seem to find them What was I supposed to do? It seems a lifetime ago Bitter now and freezing Short of breath and feeling Can't go back Can't escape Sit still and meditate Don't leave me here I'm all alone I have no one And I'll be here for so long Don't leave me here I'll be here forever I'll be here forever I'll be here... Aaaaahhhhhhh aaaahhh

If you came in late Have no fear We'll find you a place And we'll keep you there

Sweet pioneer You can't buy my smile I've been here for many years So wait for a while Now you'll turn to ash When you see my disquiet You would try to buy it If you could see me smile The fates are unkind They're demons I swear You went exploring And I was so scared I stayed right here Bored of your gracious host You set out for the golden coast For gold and the holy ghost But which did you love the most? Can't even wait 'til you're here Seems undeniably clear Fears were our loneliest dreams Nothing's as bad as it seems The more I lay quiet I started to find A change of location can't break the binds that tie you here Sweet pioneer You can't buy my smile Well I've been here for many years So wait for a while Now you'll turn to ash When you see my disquiet You would try to buy it If you could see me smile

Hit the magical road With your legs both gone You stumble and clutch and fall

Help is on the way Help is on the way Let's keep our shit together They're gonna let us out We won't be here forever We'll see the sun again A couple hours only Suppress the urge to shout But Christ it's getting lonely And the air is getting thin Help is on the way Help is on the way It sends out information But it doesn't let it in A black box innovation To keep the data warm A red light like insomnia The message glimmering Have faith in fancy gadgetry And acetaminophen Help is on the way Help is on the way Relax This dance is like a movie scene It's like breathing water in a dream You feel relieved and realize That this is not real and you cannot die One more hour, baby Bed yourself with hopes And then breathe this thought like it's true That help will be here to save you

Polarized ends, we persist Withered or not, we insist Poisoned or not, we while the hours Until we end it all Head down the road As we dare attempt to grow And let drivers go past And they'll break down Cuz nothing lasts Oh no When the horizon breaks You'll see my hands, palms up, shivering We can't suspend impending weight We'll end it all, this sutured state Darlin, hey, wait, darlin Hang on for life Pretend that you came home last night Pretend that everything's alright But you lost your grip Now we fall Leave me out of it all One hand slips, now we fall Push me out of it all Lost your grip, now we fall Cut me out of it all Both hands slipped, now we fall See now what we missed before Scenes lost shot behind the door Somehow figures don't add up Seems like there should be one more

The emptiness of rain The patter on the lawn The ground where all our children should have gone If they had passed the test We could have laid them there to rest But they're older than they ever were before And they ache like a summer day Forgive this intrusion I had no illusion you'd embrace my filthy heart If violence could clean it Then swing like you mean it Loose your regrets like poisoned darts Sleep tight Cuz in the morning we will scatter Like the hunted running scared Sweet spite and stubborn autumn stale We're breathing the same air In summer we'd sleep in But as fall colors creep in We're awakened by the quiet The trees we discovered The cold air uncovered Branches hard as anthracite Keep it down Cuz they're listening on all wires And these dark red stains Well it looks like someone died last night I need your bravery And your slipshod memory Sleep tight Cuz in the morning we will scatter Like the hunted running scared Sweet spite and stubborn autumn stale We're breathing the same air Forgive this intrusion I had no illusion you'd embrace my filthy heart If violence could clean it Then swing like you mean it And loose your regrets like poisoned darts
