All The Rage Back Home

When she said, a love come over my head about, oh the feelings
And she wept, hold me again, I made no sound, oh repeating
And she swore love is never done so easily
And we went over again, my head about, oh the feeling

She said you don't need time,
Be tame, you won't need your maid inside
My faith won't lie
He said you don't need mine
Be tame, you wanna leave my lady lover
Of my eighteen summers, alone
She said, you don't read minds
Be patient, you won't leave me shaking
Leave me shaking

I keep falling, maybe half the time, maybe half the time
I keep falling, maybe half the time, maybe half the time
But it's all the rage back home
It's all the rage back home

She said, love come over my head about, oh the feeling
She said, you wanna refund
Be paid, you gonna see my face in lights
My faith won't lie
My sweet, you don't need mine your way
Just say you'll love me, just say you'll love me
She said you don't read minds
Be patient, you won't leave me shaking
You have been mistaken

I keep falling, maybe half the time, maybe half the time
I keep falling, maybe half the time, maybe half the time
But it's all the rage back home
Yeah, it's all the rage back home

All the rage back home
All the rage back home
All the rage back...
I keep falling, maybe half the time, maybe half the time
It's all the rage back home
I keep falling, maybe half the time (it's all the rage back home), maybe half the time
It's all the rage back home

I keep falling, maybe half the time (it's all the rage back home), maybe half the time
It's all the rage back home

It's all the rage back home
It's all the rage back home...

My Desire

In my desire, I'm a frustrated man
Some of us ask for peace, do what we can
Feel my desire, favor the both
Some of us into the earth, others roam
Beseeched by desire, come on baby

Play me out, play me out
Look like your chance has come
Play me out, play me out
It's time we change the heart

In my desire, no solemn moves
Other ones have team makes
We stick to the rules
Sweet like desire, come on baby

Play me out, play me out
Look like your chance has come
Play me out, play me out
It's time we change the heart

I feel there, I feel you, race
In my desire, frustrated man
Some of us into the earth, others brand
Free my desire, come on baby

Play me out, lay me out
It's time we change the heart
Play me out, that's why I gave you out
You help by no scars on you

I feel that, I fear here, race

Anywhere

We tried to invade
But some of us in each
At least try hold the other
In the right light

Uh... this sky is gonna break
Some of us dies heroes
At least they'll never suffer
At least they're always free...

The ocean... I could go anywhere! I could go anywhere!
So free, my place in the sun, I could go anywhere!
You know all about me
That's what's so frightening
You know all about me
It seems like you're always traveling

We tried to engage
Softened up by piece
At least I have my taste
Of the nightlife

Be kind to the base
Some day you might need them
At least they'll never suffer
At least they're always free...

The ocean... I could go anywhere! I could go anywhere!
So free, it's my nature to want, I could go anywhere!
You know all about me
That's what's so frightening
You know all about me
It seems your not travelling

Same Town, New Story

Same town, new story
They bridge the faded span
He was bound for glory
She found her winning man

Then she stood by him
Through it all
Then she stood by him

She was pounding on the wall
She said it feels like the whole world
Is up on my shoulders
Feels like the whole world coming down on me

How many bones were lost?
He just had to play his hand
What is a woman's duty?
She was always tougher than...
(Same town, new story)

She said who's gonna save them from you?
(Same town, new story)
Who's gonna save them from you?
(Same town, new story)
I ain't gonna chase another stake until he's gone

Then she stood by him
Through it all
Then she stood by him
When he was down on his knees
She said we're still alive
We are still alive

Feels like the whole world
Is up on my shoulders
(Coming down)
Feels like the whole world
Is up on my shoulders
(Coming down)
Feels like the whole world's coming down on me

Then she'll sulk slowly
Then she'll sulk slowly
Then she'll sulk slowly
Then she'll sulk slowly
Then she'll sulk slowly

My Blue Supreme

Fake out, you've already made a scene
Allow me a break now
To say it in the way you go about
"It's my time, it's my time."

When love comes, honey, take it
Only one in a hundred make it
You fake until there's nothing to fake

Someone that I'm dying to be is cruising in my blue supreme

Babe, you've already captured me
And I fake out
To say it in the way you go about
"It's my time, my time."

There's someone that I'm dying to be cruising in my blue supreme
Someone that I'm dying to be
There's someone that I'm dying to be cruising in my blue supreme

To say it in the way you go about
"My time."

When love comes, honey, show it
So many others blow it
This kind of shit don't heal in a week

Cruising in my blue supreme
Cruising in my blue supreme
Someone that I'm dying to be
Well, nothing ever comes for free
I'm cruising in my blue supreme
Something that I'm trying to create
Just my shoes and some shake
Cruising in my blue supreme

Everything Is Wrong

Truly, truly, truly here

Into the override, how we ride the brake
Sleeker and cheaper, the wind change
Following people, they [?] I say
Expect your incentives have paved the way

Everything is wrong, oh, everything is wrong
All we have is time but my life is going wrong

I bend down to no one, I say what I say
Inverse achievement, I rule the days
Am I more social, or am I coming down now?
We start over as agents of fear

Everything is wrong, oh, everything is wrong
All we have is time but my life is going wrong
Taking apart and all because
You know that you hide the grave
Everything is wrong, oh, everything is wrong
Everything is wrong

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Breaker 1

Come back, come back, I'm the warning
Come back, come back, breaker one
(Come back, come back, breaker one)
Come back, come back, I'm the warning
Come back, come back, breaker one (I'm the warning)
Come back, come back, breaker one

It's in the way that I hold you tight, sleep beside me
There is a slow plugging at the tire, decent slow me
And I feel my teeth make oh the ache inside, go away
The vacant mind just waves some explosions on the bright side

Come back, come back, I'm the warning
Come back, come back, breaker one
(Come back, come back, breaker one)
Come back, come back, I'm the warning
Come back, come back, breaker one (I'm the warning)
Come back, come back, breaker one

You've seen the way how it happens right, this feast inside me
It leads the way then it's at my side, it feeds 'til starving
And I feel my teeth make oh, the ache inside, go away
My ??? of all holidays, some reverence of a wild side
I'm inclined 'cause I've seen my dreams defied
And I take my turn, in stride to sink my feet away

Come back, come back, I'm the warning
Come back, come back, breaker one

It's begun, braves become
Makes weak I just need you so much
Need you so much darling
And I see my teeth make oh, the ache inside, go away
The patience to climb all day
Some reverence of a mountain
I'm inclined 'cause I need my needs to get by
And I take my turn in kind
To sink my feet, away

Come back, come back, I'm the warning
Come back, come back, breaker one

Ancient Ways

Oh
F*ck the ancient ways
They are heretofore
Show no claim

Oh
Got the time, won't seek
They are oh still coming to beat the street
(At the station)

The city feeds us all like babes
And we've taken a bow (At the station)

Oh
Shape the fight of sound
Become beautifully bound
To pound

Oh
F*ck the ancient ways
They are ringing doorbells that let in my waste
(At the station)

The city needs us and all our rage
And surprise in your eyes (At the station)

What we need, this empire grows
Every stage we'll find (At the station)

To be beaten by the weight of it
They are to be beaten by the weight (At the station)

Come in people and enjoy the glow
Every change we allow (At the station)

The city sees us all like babes
And we've taken a bow (At the station)

To be beaten by the weight of it
They are beaten by the weight (At the station)

Should we seek them for the sake of it?
Nay, we greet them right away

Tidal Waves

Day by day, we watch the gold ball.
Save the feeling, see you when you're going for,
you're truly at the door
of some great admiration.

Oh, what a sweet serenade,
and the night is still young.
Oh, there's a flood coming soon,
and it rushes me just like a...

Last Friday, I see you in the photo booth
You changed your name,
the screen really takes to you.
Will you really make it through
on some great accolades?

Oh, what a sweet serenade,
and the night is still young for a...
there's a flood coming soon,
and it rushes me just like a tidal wave,
a tidal wave, a tidal wave, a tidal wave.

Oh, there's a flood coming soon,
and the night is still young for a...
Feel the tug of the moon,
completely gone on a tidal wave,
a tidal wave, a tidal wave, a tidal wave

(Completely gone on a) tidal wave,
a tidal wave,
(Completely gone on a) tidal wave,
a tidal wave,
(Completely gone on a) tidal wave,
a tidal wave,
(Completely gone on a) tidal wave,
a tidal wave,
(Completely gone on a)...

Twice As Hard

There were days of no surprise on the way
When Nobody cared but you
Out I retried to feel the salvation
The proof of your words always coo, Boo

If these ties should signify, my mistakes
Please give me power
They are all of my creations
Leaving me disavowed

Twice as hard
Twice as hard
I give it right back to you
I give it right back to you
Twice as hard

I rely on fewer lines to let you in
Become my lover
Somewhere all of my relations
One thing's in all the other

Twice as hard
Twice as hard
I give it right back to you
I give it right back to you
Twice as hard

All those nights of many lights, fall away
Like they're beautiful, Ours
These are all of my creations
Leaning me now towards you

Twice as hard
Twice as hard
I give right back to you
I give it right back to you
Twice as hard

[repeat]

The Depths

(iTunes Bonus Track)

Innocent idols who turn me on
While selling bibles to babies
We sleep for a while but then you are gone
All I have left is the story

All I can see before me is the darkest blues
Because I slip to the depths without you

If I met a waitress could she turn me on
I got the time to let her know me
I keep my focus but my dreams keeps me strong
I come abreast of it slowly

All I can see before me is the darkest blue
Because I slip to the depths without you

So many hours that I see before me
Now the stars are out of view
Because I slip to the depths without you
