10,000 Horses Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Feels like the same today
10,000 horses drag me down
Seems like the same, you say
10,000 voices crying out
You put on yourself, you'll see
There's nothing left at all, left at all
10,000 fingers dragging me down, down, down
[Chorus]
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
Oh, it's about to change, about to change
About to change, about to change
[Verse 2]
Seems like the same, your ways of moving on
10,000 lies, you're washing your hands of everything else
So put on yourself, you'll see
There's nothing left at all
10,000 stares, they're bringing me down, down, down
[Chorus]
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
Oh, it feels like the strain
That everybody's giving to me
Won't let my hands get tied
I'm gonna ride it all out
Never gonna slow down this time
Oh, it's all about to...
About to change, about to change
About to change, about to change
[Post-Chorus]
About to change from the past for knowledge tomorrow
Carries me on my way
I feel you pressing, these words left unspoken
Change for the sake, change for the sake of change
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Seems like the same, you say
10,000 cracks you're walking on
Feels like the same to say
10,000 voices calling on
You put on yourself, you'll see
There's nothing left at all
10,000 horses bringing me down, down, down
[Chorus]
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
Oh, it feels like the strain
That everybody's giving to me
Won't let my hands get tied
I'm gonna ride it all out
Never gonna slow down this time
Oh, it's all about to...
About to change, about to change
About to change, about to change
[Outro]
About to...
About to change, about to change
About to change, about to change
Happy Pills Lyrics
3 ContributorsHappy Pills LyricsSometimes you wake to see yourself
Take happier pills to keep you well
And sometimes you talk to hear yourself
Screaming out loud
Never ever heard a word you said
Can't you see yourself
Can't you understand
There's more truth in the way that you lie
But you take a stab at all that's surrounding your mind
Can't you sweep this shit to the side
Well it's so fucking nice to have you here
To turn our lives from what we fear
But sometimes your worthless and weak and alone
Will you ever grow
Here I am I want to help you out
Well you won't believe when this cloud lifts what you might find
You'll find its all over and can't you see its all over
This face that stares back at you
Stares back at you from these happy pills
They won't keep you well tonight
(I'll be here to watch you shudder
I'll be the one that holds you under
Every time you try to shift it
Every time your stitch is slipping
Slipping through time)
There's more truth in the way that you lie
So you take a stab at all that's surrounding your mind
Got it all over you now
Got it all over you now
Got it all over this
The face that stares back at you from these happy pills
They won't keep you well tonight
Blinders Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Friends seem to see you
Friends seem to feel you
Does anybody else know?
I'm bailing you out of this life
Take another glance
Then close your eyes
Have you got more to say?
Painting outside the lines
Come another day will you get it right?
Well there's something I should say
[Bridge]
Leave it all decide to walk away
Won't you leave it all decide to walk away
In time you'll find your own
[Chorus]
I can see your blinders in the way
I'm so much closer than you know now
Can you feel me?
I can see your blinders in the way
Time to open up and let go
[Verse 2]
Filling the shoes this time
Turn another page, it's just a sign
That you're needed in my life
Drawing inside the pain
Could take another day to wash away
Well there's still time to fly
[Bridge]
Leave it all decide to walk away
Leave it all decide to walk away
In time you'll find you're not alone
[Chorus]
I can see your blinders in the way
I'm so much closer than you know now
Can you feel me?
I can see your blinders in the way
Time to open up and let go
[Verse 3]
Caught up outside the light
When you gonna want and realign
Friend I can see you
Friend I can still feel you
Do you feel alone today?
Oh my friend
Do you need me?
Friend do you fear me?
We need to be the same
[Bridge]
Leave it all decide to walk away
Leave it all decide to walk away
In time you'll find you're not alone
[Chorus]
I can see your blinders in the way
I'm so much closer than you know now
Can you fell me?
I can see your blinders in the way
Time to open up and let go
[Outro]
Caught up outside the light
When you gonna want and realign
It’s Alright Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's alright what you confess to me
Where you're at right now baby, it's alright with me
Behind your truths or somewhere inside your lies
These long cold days of gray, they color your eyes
[Bridge]
And it's alright, what you confide in me
Where we're at right now baby, it's where we need to be
And I can see things so clearly through tear-stained eyes
The side effects of time in all our good-byes, and it's alright
[Chorus]
I got lost some time ago
Lost in your song, your touch, your smile
And where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blond-washed hair from an ocean-side domain
Drifting into me, I found myself again, in her song
[Verse 2]
It's alright what you say to me
How you feel right now baby, shows an everlasting need
Behind the truth, there's something inside your lies
These long cold days of rain, they're hiding your eyes
And it's alright, what you express to me
Your song escapes me to this place I want to be
So sing to me baby, your song can carry me
Through endless weeks of rain and onto sweeter things
[Chorus]
And it's alright
I got lost some time ago
Lost in your song, your touch, your smile
And where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blond-washed hair from an ocean-side domain
Drifting into me, I found myself again, in her song
[Verse 3]
Oh sing to me baby, your song can carry me
In all she's revealed I found I could always see
How her ways could flow and run over me
And I found this reason to learn
And I found this reason to decide
As many days come and many days go
I'll never know why
[Chorus]
And it's alright
I got lost some time ago
Lost in your song, your touch, your smile
And where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blond-washed hair from an ocean-side domain
Drifting into me, I found myself again, in her song
So Real Lyrics
3 ContributorsSo Real LyricsBreathe in
Are you the one about to crash it all?
You take another hit in time you'll fall, all the way
Summertime sidelines
Well you're the one about to crash it all
And you're the one who likes to blame us all
Consider this
Alright, You're the one fading baby
Well you're the one fading baby
Fading
My life, well everyone's taking stock in me
And everyone listens so faithfully to hear what's right from wrong
It's all they'll ever know
Alright, you're the one fading baby
Well you're the one fading baby
Fading
If I ever want to take my chance again, it's life
If I ever want to take my chance again again
So real, oh baby you're so real
Alright, life well everyone serves themselves you'll see
As hungry as you are to cash in on me, you'll be left in the cold
Fading, if I ever want to take my chance again, it's life
If I ever want to take my chance again again
So real, oh baby you're so real
Find your own life, live, it's far too hard to be alone
These lines you cross, they won't hinder me at all
I feel alive, graced beside
I owe all I loathe to you
Oh baby you're so real
Offerings Lyrics
3 ContributorsOfferings LyricsLook what you're offering
By your hands, you've emptied my soul
But I'll find some time
I'll find somewhere to grow
Look out now
Has your mind been changed by the loss of this memory?
Roll on
You've got some time on your hands for where you are now
Bleeding the offerings
Yes you are now
Bleeding the offerings
My time to sit you all down
My time to save you all now
My time to lay it all out
My time
See what you're offering
See I open my eyes
Your face seems to speak aloud
Seeing it all in my eyes
I see some things in your eyes that have never been shown before
Roll on
Believing it all in my eyes
You've got these needs but I've got somewhere to go now now
So leave it alone, it's my time
With so little time it's so hard to find somewhere to go
Bleeding the offerings
Yes you are now
Bleeding the offerings
My time to sit you all down
My time to save you all now
My time to lay it all out
My time to save your souls again
My time to sit you all down now
My time to save you all now
My time to lay it all out
My time
Sometimes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And I wipe the night from my eyes
Block out that sunny day and I
And everything is falling down around us
Just missing the rain yeah
And I'm happier now today
But don't let me down, don't let me go
A change of seasons inside of my
In time I'll decide, in time I'll decide to move on
[Chorus]
Change directions, watch the tides
And we borrow too much
And form restrictions, we form lines
And we separate you from me
But sometimes
Sometimes we carry more weight than we own
Oh sometimes
And sometimes goes on
[Verse 2]
And night takes the light by the hand
And turns out that boring day yeah
And cries out loud
Never once, hanging on
Hanging on my words
Kills the feeling of being alive
And she's happier now today
Don't let her down, don't let her go
Found no reasons
We found no lies
We just bleed together
That's how we realize and we
[Chorus]
Change directions, watch the tides
And we borrow too much
And form restrictions, we form lines
And we separate you from me
But sometimes
Sometimes we carry more weight than we own
Oh sometimes
And sometimes goes on and on and on
[Verse 3]
And somehow we'll find a way
We'll paste it back together
These ripped out pages of old coloring books
Your gold is silver
My blue is grey
It's all held together by cellophane tape
[Chorus]
If we change directions, watch the tides
And we borrow too much
And form restrictions, we form lines
And we separate you from me
But sometimes
Sometimes we carry more weight than we own
Oh sometimes
And sometimes goes on and on and on'..
[Outro]
In my head I've got everything I want
And In my head I've got everything I want
And In my head I've got everything I want
And In my head I've got everything I want in you
Look What You’ve Done Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can borrow, if you've got the time
I never needed anybody's help to make up my mind
You won't be here long
Enough to stand out
You're on fi-fi-fire till everybody finds out
[Chorus]
Look what you've done, done to my head
Look what you've done, look what you've done
Done to my head, you've got me thinking
Maybe I will and maybe I won't
Maybe I can't but God only knows
I won't be the puppet strings you hold on
[Verse 2]
Come tomorrow, it's a sign of the times
It's coming down now
Shelter won't save you my friend
So sit down till you learn
And sit down till you grow
You mi-mi-mi-might turn if you'd only let yourself go
[Chorus]
Look what you've done, done to my head
Look what you've done, look what you've done
Done to my head
Maybe I will and maybe I won't
Maybe I can't but God only knows
I won't be the puppet strings you hold on
[Verse 3]
I see you depend over and over on logic
I can't understand
Who kept you floating, my friend?
Kept your head above water
Rough seas hit you harder
I should have just let you drown
[Outro]
Maybe I will and maybe I won't
Maybe I can't but God only knows
I won't be the puppet strings you hold on
