The Day the World Went Away Lyrics
[Verse]
I'd listen to the words he'd say
But in his voice I heard decay
The plastic face forced to portray
All the insides left cold and gray
There is a place that still remains
It eats the fear, it eats the pain
The sweetest price he'll have to pay
The day the whole world went away
[Outro]
Na na nah
Na na na, nah
Na na nah
Na na na, nah
Na na nah
Na na na, nah
Na na nah
Na na na, nah
Na na nah
Na na na, nah
Na na nah
Na na na, nah
Na na nah
Na na na, nah
Na na nah
Na na na, nah
Na na nah
Na
The Fragile Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She shines in a world full of ugliness
She matters when everything is meaningless
Fragile, she doesn't see her beauty
She tries to get away
Sometimes it's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away
[Chorus]
I won't let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart
[Verse 2]
She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
Hoping someone can see
If I could fix myself I'dâ
But it's too late for me
[Chorus]
I won't let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart
I won't let you fall apart
[Bridge]
We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
But they keep waiting...and picking...
...and picking...and picking...
...and picking...and picking...
...and picking...and picking...
...and picking...and picking...
[Outro]
It's something I have to do
(I won't let you fall apart)
I was there, too
(I won't let you fall apart)
Before everything else
(I won't let you fall apart)
I was like you
(I won't let you fall apart)
Even Deeper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke up today
To find myself in the other place
With a trail of my footprints
From where I ran away
Seems everything I've heard just might be true
And you know me, well you think you do
Sometimes, I have everything
Yet I wish I felt something
[Chorus]
Do you know how far this has gone?
Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome
It runs even deeper
[Verse 2]
And in a dream I'm a different me
With a perfect you, we fit perfectly
And for once in my life, I feel complete
And I still want to ruin it
[Pre-Chorus]
Afraid to look, as clear as day
This plan has long been underway
I hear them call, I cannot stay
The voice inviting me away
[Chorus]
Do you know how far this has gone?
Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome
It runs even deeper
Everything that matters is gone
All the hands of hope have withdrawn
Could you try to help me hang on?
It runsâŠ
[Outro]
I'm straight
I won't crack
On my way
And I can't turn back
I'm okay
I'm on track
On my way
And I can't turn back
I stayed
On this track
Gone too far
And I can't come back
I stayed
On this track
Lost my way
Can't come back
I stayed
On this track
Gone too far
And I can't come back
I stayed
On this track
Lost my way
And I can't come back
I stayed
On this track
Gone too far
And I can't come back
I stayed
On this track
Lost my way
Can't come back
No, You Donât Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Smiling in their faces
While filling up the hole
So many dirty little places
In your filthy little, worn out, broken down, see-through soul
[Verse 2]
Baby's got a problem
Tries so hard to hide
Got to keep it on the surface
Because everything else is dead on the other side
Teeth in the necks of everyone you know
You can keep on sucking 'til the blood won't flow
When it starts to hurt, it only helps it grow
Taking all you need (But not this time) No, you don't
[Verse 3]
And just for the record
Just so you know
I did not believe
That you could sink so low
You think that you can beat them
I know that you won't
You think you have everything
But no, you don't
[Outro]
No, you don't
No, you don't
No, you don't
No, you don't
No, you don't
No, you don't
No, you don't
No, you don't
La Mer Lyrics
[Original Verse]
Et quand le jour arrivé
Map touné le ciel
Et map touné la mer
Et la mer va embrassé moi
Et délivré moi lakay
An rien peut arrĂȘter moi konin la
[French Equivalent]
Et quand le jour arrivé
Je retournerai au ciel
Et je retournerai Ă la mer
Et la mer va m'embrasser
Et me délivrer chez moi
Rien ne peut m'arrĂȘter maintenant
[English Translation]
And when the day arrives
I'll become the sky
And I'll become the sea
And the sea will come to kiss me
For I am going home
Nothing can stop me now
The Great Below Lyrics
22 ContributorsThe Great Below LyricsâThe Great Belowâ is the twelfth and final track on the left disc of The Fragile.
A single synthesizer layer fades in from the end of âLa Merâ, ascending in pitch until it is joined by a deep bass melody⊠Read More Staring at the sea
Will she come?
Is there hope for me
After all is said and done?
Anything at any price
All of this for you
All the spoils of a wasted life
All of this for you
All the world has closed her eyes
Tired faith, all worn and thin
For all we could have done
And all that could have been
Ocean pulls me close
And whispers in my ear
The destiny I've chose
All becoming clear
The currents have their say
The time is drawing near
Washes me away
Makes me disappear
And I descend from grace
In arms of undertow
I will take my place
In the great below
I can still feel you
Even so far away
I can still feel you
Even so far away
I can still feel you
Even so far away
I can still feel you
Even so far away
Even so far away
Even so far away
Even so far away
So far away...
