Track Lyrics
My Purity Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I was dirt
That filled up your life
If I was dirt
So pure and so refined
I'd be the dirt that
Blackened all that shined
Which one would show a purity
Which one could show how curious
This purity has been
[Chorus]
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness
[Verse 2]
If I was dirt
That would make you lie
Could I be the dirt
In your irreverent smile
Please pass the dirt
I'll have some on mine
Which one would show my purity
Which one could show how curious
This purity has been
[Chorus]
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness
[Bridge]
Drag me down and plough me
Under nothing stays the same
Drag me down and plough me
Under nothing will ever change?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
If I was the dirt you brought
Through your doorstep
And did that dirt leave you
Feeling molested
How was that dirt that you've
Ingested
Which one could show my purity
Which one would show how curious
This purity has been
[Chorus]
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
[Chorus]
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
[Outro]
My purity, my purity
My thoroughness, my purity
Got to Be a Bore Lyrics
[Verse 1]
"I hope my head will heal
I hope my head will heal
I hope my head will heal
I hope my head will heal
It's all I ever wanted to feel
All well adjusted"
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't feel this way anymore
Feeling this way got to be
Got to be
Got to be a bore
[Chorus]
Got to be a bore
[Verse 2]
"I hope my head will heal
I hope my head will heal"
It's problematic and compelling
A corrupt disguise
"I hope my head will heal
I hope my head will heal"
A flaming martyr with the pangs
Of a Jesus Christ
"It's all I ever wanted but I'm
So self destructive"
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't feel this way anymore
Feeling this way got to be
Got to be
Got to be a bore
[Chorus]
Got to be a bore
Got to be a bore
Got to be a bore
[Guitar Solos]
[Verse 3]
So simple unassuming selfless
Human acts of grace (Got to be a bore)
With a murdered ego I go
Surely this can't be vain (Got to be a bore)
To know what you want knows
The essence of all insane (Got to be a bore)
As I am we are
I am all all all insane
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't feel this way anymore
Feeling this way got to be
Got to be a bore
I Am Anastasia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I found your name in a book
And in that book a letter
Were the words of a girl who said that she was lead away
And left for dead but somehow she survived it
How was it no one would believe that
You were part of their world, a different world
One they denied you
If I could help you I would help you now
And you can speak through me
[Chorus]
I am
I am
I am Anastasia
I am
I am
I am Anastasia
[Post-Chorus]
Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia
Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia
[Verse 2]
I'm haunted by a girl whose life's locked in these pages
But through these words she will be free through me
I know, I know we won't forget her
She can speak through me
[Chorus]
I am
I am
I am Anastasia
I am
I am
I am Anastasia
[Post-Chorus]
Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia
Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia, Anastasia
[Outro]
I am
I am
I am
I am Anastasia
Silence Is Their Drug Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We, we can do anything
Why do they beat us down with their lies
They object us they reject us
Time after time then we ask ourselves
Why are we alive
Why are we alive
Why are we
[Chorus]
"I, I can't hear anything"
They make silence their drug
"I, I can't hear anything"
They make silence their
They make silence their drug
[Verse 2]
We, we are everything
Why do they beat us down to their size
The better we fit the bigger they get
And we justify their lousy existence
Why are we alive
Why are we alive
Why are we
[Chorus]
"I, I can't hear anything"
They make silence their drug
"I, I can't hear anything"
They make silence their drug
"I, I can't hear anything"
They make silence their drug
"I, I can't hear anything"
They make silence their drug
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
The better we fit the bigger they get
And we justify their lousy existence
Why are we alive
Why are we alive
Why are we
[Chorus]
"I, I can't hear anything"
They make silence their drug
"I, I can't hear anything"
They make silence their drug
"I, I can't hear anything"
They make silence their drug
"I, I can't hear anything"
They make silence their
They make silence their drug
Have You Seen Mary Lyrics
[Chorus]
If you see Mary, please, will you help her?
She seems to be looking for answers
If you see Mary, please, will you help her?
With questions that go unanswered
[Verse 1]
Like "Why does she feel all dead on the inside
But as a child she remembers feeling alive?"
"Who was that man that made my mother cry all night
Was that my father? Who was my father?"
[Chorus]
If you see Mary, please, will you help her?
She seems to be looking for answers
If you see Mary, please, will you help her?
With questions that go unanswered
[Verse 2]
The men that walked into her life
Are no different than all the others
That promise the world and then they leave her
She says I should have known better
Should have known better
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Will she always feel so all alone?
Why was there never a man in her home?
"And will I end up like my mother?
By myself with no other
With no other"
[Chorus]
If you see Mary, please, will you help her?
She seems to be looking for answers
If you see Mary, please, will you help her?
With questions that go unanswered
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
If you see Mary, please, will you help her?
If you see Mary, please, will you help her?
If you see Mary, please, will you help her?
If you see Mary
Velveteen Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Delux
Sublime
Gigantic for all times
And space
I wish for you the stars
Bow down
I wish for you their infinite crown
Crown
[Chorus]
In Velveteen
I will surround
With Velveteen
In your name
In Velveteen
I will surround
I'll keep this velvet
In your name
I'll keep this velvet
From the rain
[Verse 2]
So long, sleep well
Your purity speaks well
As you lay
With all these flowers
In your bed
With all these flowers
You had left to give away
Away
[Chorus]
In Velveteen
I will surround
In Velveteen
In your name
In Velveteen
I will surround
I'll keep this velvet
In your name
I'll keep this velvet
In your name
I'll keep this velvet
In your name
I'll keep this velvet
From the rain
