Songtext zu Disappear

[Verse 1]
I've dragged my feet across the seat
And jumped out the passenger side
The only thing worth looking for
Is what you find inside
But that had not yet appeared
Lost, invisible here
Tel Aviv and Agadir
Taroudant or Olomouc
Before I learned to see
The vanishing point appear
 
[Refrain]
I looked for you and everywhere
I looked for you and everywhere
 
[Verse 2]
There is a calm I haven't come to yet
I spent half my life figuring what comes next
I telescoped in, I finally win
I finally win the prize
That now my eyes see a comic's
Perfect timing squeezed
I'm head-first fighting everything
The crushing force of memory
Erasing all I've been
The vanishing point appears
 
 
[Refrain]
I looked for you and everywhere
I looked for you and everywhere
Tell me why you're here
I came to disappear
 
[Verse 3]
Look at this face
Can you believe it?
Am I living in a beautiful vacuum?
Because I can't see it
The vanishing point appears
 
[Refrain]
I looked for you and everywhere
I looked for you and everywhere
Tell me why you're here
I came to disappear
Tell me why you're here
I came to disappear
I came to disappear

Songtext zu Beat a Drum

[Verse 1]
The sun reflected in
The back of my eye
I knocked my head against the sky
The dragonflies are busy buzzing me
Seahorses if we were in the sea
 
[Verse 2]
Halfway from coal
Halfway to diamond
My fall knocked a mean chip out of me
I'm gathering as far as I can reach
We're perched upon the precipice
And this is what I've seen
 
[Chorus]
This is all I want
It's all I need
This is all I am
It's everything
This is all I want
It's all I need
 
[Verse 3]
A bluejay hectors from the felled Catalpa tree
Doctorate in science and a theologian's dream
The dragonflies are trying to lecture me
Seahorses if we were in the sea
 
 
[Chorus]
This is all I want
It's all I need
This is all I am
It's everything
This is all I want
It's all I need
 
[Verse 4]
Beat a drum for me
Like a butterfly wing
Tropical storm across the ocean
But don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know
Don't forget we're just halfway from coal
 
[Chorus]
This is all I want
It's all I need
This is all I am
It's everything
This is all I want
It's all I need

Songtext zu Chorus and the Ring

[Verse 1]
Hey there now young wholly, swing along
Quote the scriptures, keep them guessing
Which pit you crawled from
Just defy it, just deny it
Was it fun?
Your time has come
What have you done?
What have you done?
 
[Chorus]
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine of God singing
 
[Verse 2]
It's the poison that in measures brings
Illuminating vision
It's the knowing with a wink that we expect in Southern women
It's the wolf that knows which root to dig to save itself
It's the octopus that crawled back to the sea
 
[Chorus]
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine of God ring
 
 
[Verse 3]
Hammered, shooting plywood in the backyard
Laughing cause the racket makes the blackbirds sing
Write the holy terror
Suck the marrow from the bones
Singe your own wings burning books
You got the chorus and the ring
 
[Chorus]
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine sings
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chime in, the Greek chorus
The machine sings
That's when the calibration brittle
As a stick gets you the gold ring
And the tar museum Che Guevara wink
Gold ring
Gold ring
 
[Outro]
Sing
Sing
Sing
Sing

Songtext zu I’ll Take the Rain

[Verse 1]
The rain came down
The rain came down
The rain came down on me
The wind blew strong
And summer's song
Fades to memory
I knew you when
I loved you then
In summer's yawn now hopeless
You laid me bare
You marked me there
The promises we made
 
[Chorus]
I used to think "As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?"
We cling to this and claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
 
[Verse 2]
The nighttime creases
Summer schemes
And stretches out to stay
The sun shines down
You came around
You loved the easy days
But now the sun
The winter's come
I wanted just to say
That if I hold
I'd hoped you'd fold
And open up inside, inside of me
 
 
[Chorus]
I used to think "As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?"
We cling to this and claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
 
[Verse 3]
This winter's song
I'll sing along
I've searched its still refrain
I'll walk alone
If given this, take wing
Celebrate the rain
 
[Chorus]
I used to think "As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?"
We cling to this and claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
 
[Outro]
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
