The Currents Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Roll up another cigarette
Using the minute that it takes
To think about the power of your words
We're living in the currents you create
We're sinking in the pool of your mistakes
So stub it out, your podium awaits
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh my God, my God
I can't quite believe my ears
[Chorus]
I'm swimming to the surface
I'm coming up for air
'Cause you're making me feel nervous
I need to clear my head
I can't believe my ears
I don't wanna believe my ears
I'm swimming to the surface
I'm coming up for air
[Verse 2]
How can you think you're serious?
Do you even know what year it is?
I can't believe the scary points you make
Still living in the currents you create
Still sinking in the pool of your mistakes
Won't you stop firing up the crazies?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh my God, my God
I can't quite believe my ears
[Chorus]
I'm swimming to the surface
I'm coming up for air
'Cause you're making me feel nervous
I need to clear my head
I can't believe my ears
I don't wanna believe my ears
I'm swimming to the surface
I'm coming up for air
[Interlude]
"When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against the other
You know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives"
[Bridge]
Oh, I need a breath, I need a breath
Fill my lungs, let me fill my lungs
Oh, I need a breath, I need a breath
Fill my lungs, let me fill my lungs
Oh, I need a breath, I need a breath
Fill my lungs, let me fill my lungs
Oh, I need a breath, I need a breath
Fill my lungs, let me fill my lungs
[Chorus]
I'm swimming to the surface
I'm coming up for air
Cause you're making me feel nervous
I need to clear my head
I can't believe my ears
I don't wanna believe my ears
I'm swimming to the surface
I'm coming up for air
An Act of Kindness Lyrics
[Verse 1]
An act of kindness is what you show to me
None more than I can take, oh, none more than I can take
Kindness is what you showed to me
It holds me till I ache, overflow and start to break
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I got a feeling this'll shake me down
Oh, I'm kind of hoping this will turn me round
[Chorus]
And now it follows me every day, and now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, and now it follows me every day, every day, every—
And now it follows me every day, and now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, and now it follows me every day, every day, every day, every day
[Verse 2]
An act of kindness is what you show to me
It caught me by surprise in this town of glass and ice
Kindness, so many people passed me by
But you warmed me to my core and you left me wanting more
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I got a feeling this'll shake me down
Oh, I'm kind of hoping this'll turn me round
Oh, I got a feeling that however small
Oh, I'm kind of hoping this will reach my soul
[Chorus]
And now it follows me every day, and now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, and now it follows me every day, every day, every—
And now it follows me every day, and now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day, and now it follows me every day, every day, every day, every day
[Bridge]
Oh, my back's up against the wall, I feel guilty, I feel guilty
And you want nothing in return, I feel guilty, I feel guilty
Oh, my back's up against the wall, I feel guilty, I feel guilty
And you want nothing in return, I feel guilty, I feel guilty
[Chorus]
And now it follows me every day, and now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day (Oh, now, now, now, now), and now it follows me every day, every day, every— (Oh, now, now, now, now, now)
And now it follows me every day, and now it follows me every day
And now it follows me every day (Oh, now, now, now, now), and now it follows me every day, every day, every day, every day (Now it follows me everyday)
[Outro]
Oh, my back's up against the wall, I feel guilty, I feel guilty
And you want nothing in return, I feel guilty, I feel guilty
Glory Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Deep in a corner of the night
We were lying in the middle of the road
Counting the planes as they flew by
Inconceivable imagining them go
And drunk we set the world to rights
As we fell and hit our heads upon the curb
You make me laugh until I die
Can you think of any better way to choke?
[Pre-Chorus]
Stories told to me and stories told to you
Did you ever feel like they were ringing true?
[Chorus]
And all their words for glory, well, they always sounded empty
When we're looking up for heaven, looking up for heaven
Way down here upon the ground when we're lying in the dirt
There's no looking up for heaven, looking up for heaven
[Verse 2]
Not everything had gone to plan
But we made the best of what we had, you know
Passing the drink from hand to hand
We admit we really know nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus]
Stories told to me and stories told to you
And was it feeling real? And were they ringing true?
[Chorus]
And all their words for glory, well, they always sounded empty
When we're looking up for heaven, looking up for heaven
And way down here upon the ground when we're lying in the dirt
There's no looking up for heaven, looking up for heaven
[Bridge]
I'll take my chances on the curb here with you
We watch the planes leave us behind
On the curb here with you
We watch the planes leave us behind
And, and then you put your hand in mine
And pulled me back from things divine
Stop looking up for heaven
Waiting to be buried
[Chorus]
And all their words for glory, well, they always sounded empty
When we're looking up for heaven, looking up for heaven
And way down here upon the ground when we're lying in the dirt
There's no looking up for heaven, looking up... (Looking up for heaven)
[Instrumental Outro]
Power Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Aim, throw your best shot right at me
'Cause pain, I can take it easily
Did you really think I'd fall to my knees
Just to pray for some sweet simplicity?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause woah, you're squeezing my heart
Too hard in your bare hands, they hold too tight
And woah, the air is on fire
This room feels electric caught here in your sights
[Chorus]
Power, power
I will never understand the power you were holding over me
Power, power
Oh, you had it too long, yes, you had it too long
[Verse 2]
Pain, just synapses firing in our brains
So when you cut me, cut me deep
Hurt the ones you love the most easily
'Cause in time we show our Achilles' heels
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause woah, you're squeezing my heart
Too hard in your cold bare hands, they hold too tight
And woah, the air is on fire
This room feels electric caught here in your sights
[Chorus]
Power, power
I will never understand the power you were holding over me
Power, power
Oh, you had it too long, yes, you had it too long
[Bridge]
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder (Hit me, hit me harder)
'Cause you better knock me out the first time
And if you're gonna do this, rip the plaster (Do this, rip the plaster)
If you're gonna hit me, hit me harder than this
Power, power
Blows my mind to think I ever let you hold it over me
[Chorus]
Power, power
I will never understand the way I let you hold it over me
Power, oh, power
Well, you had it too long, yes, you had it too long
[Outro]
(Power) Oh-oh, oh, oh, (Power) Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Power, power
I let you have it too long, yes, you had it too long
Lethargy Lyrics
[Intro]
Da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da
[Verse 1]
Lethargy got ahold of me
And I don't know how to shake it
Got these itchy feet for a change of scene
Do anything to escape it
[Pre-Chorus]
Get up, get up, pressure, pressure
Run away as fast as you can go
Every day your friends and lovers
Give the answers everybody knows
[Chorus]
You told me not to be like anybody else, headspin, happiness, death
Be like anybody else, broke down, nothing else left
You checked out years ago, oh, what I'd do not to worry like you
You checked out years ago, oh, what I'd do not to worry like you
[Post-Chorus/Interlude]
"C'mon, relax"
[Verse 2]
There's an Englishman up in space these days
Floating in awe and wonder
As he broke away from the atmosphere
And all of us non-believers
[Pre-Chorus]
Get up, get up, pressure, pressure
Run away as fast as you can go
Every day your friends and lovers
Give the answers everybody knows
[Chorus]
You told me not to be like anybody else, headspin, happiness, death
Be like anybody else, broke down, nothing else left
You checked out years ago, oh, what I'd do not to worry like you
You checked out years ago, oh, what I'd do not to worry like you
[Bridge]
Paint the scene for me, paint it bright and paint it clear
I don't want to use my imagination here, don't want to use my imagination here
Paint the scene for me, paint it bright and paint it clear
I don't want to use my imagination here, don't want to use my imagination here
[Chorus]
You told me not to be like anybody else, headspin, happiness, death
Be like anybody else, broke down, nothing else left
You checked out years ago, oh, what I'd do not to worry like you
You checked out years ago, oh, what I'd do not to worry like you
