North

Let’s get drunk
You can drive us to the harbor
Wish upon a star but
Do you know what stars are?
Balls of fire, burning up the black space
Falling from the landscape
Exploding in the face of God

Let’s get crazy,
Talk about our big plans
Places that you’re going
Places that I haven’t been
Build my walls up
Concrete castle
Keep this kingdom free of hassle, yeah

Yeah
Yeah

But I hear sound echo in the emptiness
All around, but you can’t change this loneliness
Look at what you’ve found, I’ve fallen down

Taste the saline rolling down your cheekbone
Tell me that you’re alone, tell me on the telephone
Feel your heart it breaks within your chest now
Try to get some rest now, sleeps not coming easy for a while, child

Child, yeah

But I hear sound echo in the emptiness
All around, but you can’t change this loneliness
Look at what you’ve found, I’ve fallen down
Down, down
Down, down

But I hear sound echo in the emptiness
All around, but you can’t change this loneliness
Look at what you’ve found, I’ve fallen down
Look at what you’ve found, I’ve fallen down

Piece by piece, and bit by bit
I'll break this down for you, real slow
but i can't whisper all of this
and i can't seem to let this go

so i'll watch the matches, turn to ashes
i'll watch the matches, turn to ashes

i can tell its your turn, i smell the sulfur so clear
and fire's a beautiful sound
and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
and ashes just fall to the ground
yeah we're only ashes

part and part and inch my inch
you'll have your mile when its through
incinerate whats left of this
and torch the part of me that's you

so i'll watch the matches, turn to ashes

i can tell it's your turn, i smell the sulfur so clear
and fire's a beautiful sound
and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
and ashes just fall to the ground
yeah we're only ashes

i can tell it's your turn, i smell the sulfur so clear
and fire's a beautiful sound
and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
and ashes just fall to the ground
yeah we're only ashes

It’s a good year for a murder
She's begging to jesus, she’s pulling the trigger
There are no tears, 'cause he's not here
She washes her hands, and she fixes the dinner
But soon they'll be coming to rush her away
and no ones so sure if her crime had a reason

Reasons like seasons
They constantly change
And the seasons of last year
Like reasons have floated away
Away with this spilt milk
Away with this dirty dish water, away
Seventeen years, and all that he gave was a daughter

“It’s me and the moon,” she says
And I've got no trouble with that
But I am a butterfly, and you wouldn’t let me die
“It’s me and the moon,” she says

And it’s over, but just started
The blood stained the carpet
Her heart like a crystal
She's lucid and departed
A life left behind, she can find in her mind gone away

Away with these nightmares
Away with suburbia shake down
Away
You marry a role and
You give up your soul 'til you break down

“It’s me and the moon,” she says
And I've got no trouble with that
But I am a butterfly, and you wouldn’t let me die
“It’s me and the moon,” she says

But what do you say we go for a ride?
What do you say we get high?
But I’m so tired of days that feel like the night

“It’s me and the moon,” she says
And I've got no trouble with that
But I am a butterfly, and you wouldn’t let me die
I am a butterfly but you wouldn't let me die
i am a butterfly, i am a butterfly, i am a butterfly

If you ran to the end of the earth
i would catch you and you would be safe
if you fell down a well
i would bring you a rope and take all of your pain
all the pain, all the pain
that you hide from me everyday

if youre missing i will run away
i will build a path to you
if you're missing i will run away
just to find myself in you

if i woke up alone i won't stop till i'll find you and you are with me
cause by now, i know you better than you know yourself
and i know what you really need
what you need, or i need
but either way this is where you should be
here with me, or ill bleed so much that you wont believe

if you're missing i will run away
i will build a path to you
if you're missing i will run away
just to find myself in you

you better not, you better not run
you better not, you better not run

if you're missing i will run away
i will build a path to you
if you're missing i will run away
i will find you
i will find you
i will find you

This is the only lonely picture
Waiting on my floor
Littering my shore
This is the last true burning letter
Given to a girl
Written by a boy
Living in a world created to destroy

But if I built you a city, would you let me
Would you tear it down?

But there you go for the last time
I finally know now what I should have known then
But I could still be ruthless if you’ll let me
But there you go when I'm not done
You’re waving goodbye, well, at least you're having fun
The rising tide will not let you forget me
Forget me

This is your ghost that kneels before me
Razors on her tongue, a body full of oxygen
It wont be the last time she’ll ignore me
The thinning of my skin, without the strength to go
The winter setting in, to cover you in snow

But if I built you a city, would you let me
Would you tear it down?

But there you go for the last time
I finally know now what I should have known then
But I could still be ruthless if you’ll let me
But there you go when I'm not done
You’re waving goodbye, well, at least you're having fun
The rising tide will not let you forget me
Forget me
Forget me
Forget me
Forget me, yeah

I'll raise towers and climb them
Rivers and walk them
Oceans to drown in
You won’t make a sound

But there you go for the last time
I finally know now what I should have known then
But I could still be ruthless if you’ll let me
But there you go when I'm not done
You’re waving goodbye, well, at least you're having fun
The rising tide will not let you forget me
Forget me
Forget me

Tonight I watched the lights go out in your house
Wondering how I could get so deep
And you can still get to sleep
In vain I blame my trembling on the cold air
But I can’t hide that I've relied on you
Like yellow does on blue

And you're my good feeling, I’m kneeling
Inside a room she paints me blue
And you are my reason for breathing
Inside a room she paints me blue again

Atlanta started raining on me
And teenage love was underground
Tonight I break the surface
Atlanta started raining on me

And no young girl was claiming me
or naming me
And destiny gets nervous

And you're my good feeling, I’m kneeling
Inside a room she paints me blue
And you are my reason for breathing
Inside a room she paints me blue, again

And you're my good feeling, I’m kneeling
Inside a room she paints me blue
And you are my reason for breathing
Inside a room she paints me blue, again

Atlanta started raining on me
on me
Atlanta started raining on me
on me

I’m on fire
And the day is feeling hopeless
You’d see me burning but the burning’s turning smokeless
Soon I won’t feel at all
No

It’s electric. The neon hurt inside your phone call
The layered sadness and the madness it revolves
Breaking down the walls where your found love
No

Well, I’m willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I’m willing to bleed for days, my reds and greys
So you don’t hurt so much

And now I’m static
As your sky is turning purple and grey
I’m learning that the further that I crawl
The farther that I fall, is that ok?
No

And you’re in pieces
As your world becomes a rainstorm
You’ve got no shelter I’m a thousand miles away
If you survive the day

You say your leaving
You say your leaving

Well, I’m willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I’m willing to bleed for days my reds and greys
So you don’t hurt so much

So you don’t hurt so much

Never again will I fire this gun
No never again your the only one
No never again but you’re already gone.

I’m willing to break myself
I’m not afraid
I’m willing to break myself
I’m not afraid
I’m willing to break myself
I’m not afraid

Well, I’m willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I’m willing to bleed for days my reds and greys
So you don’t hurt so much

So much
So much
So much
So much

I'm under attack again my dear, I'm in the way
Got no resolutions, no clever anecdotes to say
And still if I yell at the top of my lungs will it be the same?
I'd fly you a flag, I'd bury this pen into my veins

I wanna feel for you tonight
But I won't make you
I won't make you

The telephone number I got for you says nobody's home
The best thing I can think to do right now is leave it alone

And you had an apology in your mailbox since last July
It's funny when you find the words to say you find no reply

I wanna feel for you tonight
But I won't make you
I won't make you

Scream my name just one more time

But I won't make you
I won't make you

And it's been hours now

To be here like this
And just to lay you down
And just to taste your lips
And just to keep me up
God I'm tired of sleeping
And just to lay inside you
And just to know this feeling

I wanna feel for you tonight
But I won't make you
I won't make you

Scream my name just one more time

But I won't make you
I won't make you

Some days go by, I wish I was famous
Or maybe religious, So I could go to heaven
just like you
I can have a big house, complain about taxes
Payoff my exes, Ain’t that living?
No one makes fun of me, cause i can’t stand up for myself

woah, 21 and invincible
woah, Can’t wait to screw this up
And woah, we're 21 and invincible
I'm in power for the hour
I Guess today’s gonna blow us away

I’ve got a girlfriend
She tells me she needs me
and she loves me
We’ll probably get married
And everyone will bit their tongues so hard they bleed

When mom hears this song
She’ll tell me im crazy
She’ll say to me
“Son your'e much too young, go have some fun, don’t waste your youth like i did”

and woah, 21 and invincible
woah, Can’t wait to screw this up
And woah, we're 21 and invincible
I’m in power for the hour
I guess today’s gonna blow us away

And it’s been autumn since the day that I met you
If I hit bottom, will I crawl out alone
And I don't wish to know the secrets of summer at all

and woah, 21 and invincible
woah, Can’t wait to fuck this up
and woah, we're 21 and invincible
I’m in power for the hour
I guess today’s gonna blow us away

Another lonely night in Amersterdam
The stars were coming out in waves
And miss my Miss America from Park Hotel
But I’m too stoned to call it a day

When everything you wanted
Is hard to hide behind your eyes
And I’m locked in my hotel room
Turning over our goodbyes

I will write this down for you
So you can read it
I will hold my breath for you
'Til I can feel it

Another lonely night in Amsterdam
The water moving through the sound
Of the blood that's boiling in my veins
and the food I can’t keep down

And I don’t care if you don’t love me
And I don’t care if you don’t change
And I could live inside the shadow that I cast for you
If it meant that you would stay
And I’ll be home before the morning comes,
And you won’t have to be alone

I will write this down for you
So you can read it
I will hold my breath for you
'Til I can’t feel it
You don’t have to see me this way,
Cause this way I’m okay

I will write this down, I will write this down

Oh love, I’m tangled up again
Oh love, when does this twisting end?
When does this twisting end?


I will write this down for you
So you can read it
I will hold my breath for you
'Til I can’t feel it
You don’t have to see me this way
Cause this way I’m okay

I will write this down for you,
So you can read it…
