Keep Your Distance
I feel so ecstatic
when there's no one else around
I feel so at peace
when I get the fuck out of town
I feel so euphoric
when there's no one here to hate
take all those around me
and I slowly isolate
So keep your distance
Keep your distance
won't you let me be
Cause I don't think I know you
and I know you don't know me
And if you want to find me baby
I don't want you to
Cause I know that the first person
in your life babe is you
So keep your distance
keep your distance
won't you let me be
cause I don't think I love you
and I know you don't love me

Irradiate
the clocks have stopped
no alarms will sound
and our shadows will burn
into the ground
the cities will empty
the atom will split and we're gone
the sky will ignite
and the fire will take us home
oh my lord the time has come
oh my lord where can I run
there's a light in the sky bright as the sun
oh my lord where have you gone
the temperature will drop
the cloud will irradiate
and we'll be forgotten
no one will escape
I'll never see you never kiss you
never find you never have you to hold
never see you smile or cry
never hold your hand when we're old
oh my lord the time has come
oh my lord where can I run
there's a light in the sky bright as the sun
oh my lord everything's gone

Through The Trees
I've got you inside
I took you alive
I swallowed the pill
I lost my free will
spirit
save me
spirit
save me
You kill and destroy
The world of a boy
I won't let you find me
I won't look behind me
Spirit
Save me
Running
Through the trees

Black Maria
There's a murder of crows
flying over my head
There's a silent ghost standing
at the foot of my bed
There's a landslide coming
from the mountain top
There's a thousand signs
saying I should stop
a black maria black maria
will take me away
you cannot help me
you cannot help to carry this weight
no more light no more dreams
no more lies just close the gate
there's a swarm of flies
coming through the cracks
there's a thousand signs
saying I should go back
But all things must pass
until there's nothing left
I have waged my war with love
and made my peace with death
a black maria black maria
will take me away
you cannot help me
you cannot help to carry this weight
no more light no more dreams
no mark upon my grave
there's the girl I kissed
until her lips bled
there's a silent ghost standing
at the foot of my bed
There's a murder of crows
flying over my head
there's a black maria
to take me to the end
heartache heartache heartache...

I Will Never Land
I know all our problems
and I call each one by name
I put them all to bed each night
as I take all the blame
Pride and greed
are knives deep in our backs
You held me down
and tied me to the tracks
You can cry if you want to
You can cry all the time
You can cry if you want to
But I know you're lyin'
Your head is spinning
and it's left you so confused
Your grip is slipping
on all the people that you used
Don't smile at me
I know that it ain't real
Don't try to convince me
that you can feel
I can't try I don't want to
I won’t take your hand
I'll fly like I used to
I will never land

Crawl
We came through the fields
Our sights on the trees
They waved their flags
We cut them to their knees
We cut them down
Put them to the wall
We cut them down
But still they crawl
They'll crawl through the mud and clay
Through fields of blood and over graves
Under storms of steel and leaden sky
They'll crawl until they die
We came through heavy fire
Some caught on the wire
The airplanes trailing black
We came but won't come back
They cut us down
Put us to the wall
They cut us down
But still we crawl
we'll crawl through the mud and clay
through fields of blood and over graves
under storms of steel and leaden sky
We'll crawl until we die
And still we crawl

Home
This city’s like an ocean
It drags me down and presses in
Into my skin
I need a quiet place where
There’s fields and sky and leaves of green
Where I can dream
Oh I need to get away from here
Oh I need to get away from here
To a place where I know I can
Keep my soul from being stolen
I need a month of Sundays
I need a month to sleep all day
And drift away
I'll slip into a coma
find a place where my heart will not break
and never wake
I need to get away from here
I need to get away from here
To a place where I know I can
Keep my soul from being stolen
Will I ever be home
Will I ever find my home
