2 ContributorsWeight/Lightness LyricsHow you do what you do, it simply amazes me

But this feeling of love in the air, it simply estranges me

See I don't think I'd do any better

Besides I feel a bit under the weather

And the drinks and the pills and the strobes ain't helping at all

Tip of my tongue

Tippin' that waitress and she got a smile that reminds me of you

But oh, don't slow me down

And this is all something I can forget about

Seems I've been waiting for my gavel to fall

And the best nights are always the nights that I missed

And I miss those most of all

Seems like it's all coming out of the woodwork

And I don't mind the carpenter's fee

And the best I ever was was the best that I was when you left me

Yeah

Oh, oh

Whether I come, whether I go

I feel it, something reminds me of you

But oh, don't slow me down

And this is all coming out, out I know

11 ContributorsLitost LyricsWhat have I done

With my heart on the floor

I must be out of my mind

To come back begging for more

But if you stay

If you just stay for the night

Swear that I'm yours

And I'll prove that I'm right

And these flies kept me sleeping

All my fears on their wings

And your grandfather clock is still ticking

But the chime never rings

And how long must I stay

Will I lay by your side

Just to say that I'm yours

And you'll never be mine

With this love like a hole

Swallowed my soul

Dragging me down

And there's blood on the covers

From the curses we uttered

To each other

You played your part in this

Why play hide-and-go-seek

Safe behind your veneer

Does it bury your burden baby

Makes it all dissapear

And those marks on your thighs

Don't they sting when you bleed

It's the way that you are

And the way I'll forever be

With this love like a hole

Swallowed my soul

Dragging me down

And there's blood on the covers

From the curses we uttered

To each other

You played your part

With this love like a hole

Swallowed my soul

Dragging me

And I swear I'll stay with you

But I just can't forgive you

And I'll never be whole again

2 ContributorsLay Me Down LyricsLay me down under fallen stars

Stoking the coals in the fire

I've run so far, they're still

So hot on my heels

And I'll be the last man alive

Oh, let me sleep for a hundred years

All these memories and patterns

They twist and they turn in the dark

I came here to talk, won't you

Remember me, lovely?

But nothing is the same anymore

Ohh, ohh

Rip Van Winkle, abandon your family

Slip away from your sons and your daughters

Rest your white weary head

'Neath these willow trees

Let your beard grow as long as your father's

9 to 5 at the PNC

A life in the factory or the mines

My hands, they shake

Can't get up like I used to

I'll be the last of my kind

All you said don't mean shit to me

All you said is a lie

My hands, they shake

Can't get up like I used to

Let me suffer and survive

Ohh, ohh

Mmm
