take my name, call it pride
i don't mind, no i don't mind

take my game, call it crime
i can quit at any time

i get around
i do alright
i bear the fruit
i bring the light

cuz i just wanna see you shine
sometimes truth is hard to find
but you can do it if you try
if you wanna make it out alive

and we don't even have to talk
i know that line is hard to walk
but you can do it if you try
if you wanna make it out alive

and men are gonna hunt me down
grindin my head into the ground
but i don't wanna hear you cry
mama, no one makes it out alive

no one makes it out alive

when i open your eyes
youll see the colours
he was trying to hide
come on down from the sky
around the living ground
and ready to align
your life
taken out of your mind
seven ways to undivide your sight
all mine
take me back to the time
everything will fall
the call will sound
and eden will abound
alright
when i open your eyes
youll see the colours
holding up the sky
oh lord
how the road fits the rhyme
you have to let it go
you have to keep it light and know
the only ones to find

spirit holding everyone
you are the sun
you are the sun, my darling

wear you underneath my clothes
everyone knows
everyone knows about it

show me everything you say
open the way
open the way, my darling

youre the only one im dreaming of
you call it love
i call it love

im on my side
im ancient, stony and justified
i know you're only bad sometimes

i saw the sign
the planets hit and my stars aligned
i know it's only bad sometimes

cuz when you shine
your sulfur glimmers like gold divine
it's only bad inside your mind

it's all for you, baby blue
while you sleep
the indigos abide
in your place
til you arrive

im at your side, am alive
by your grace
upon my clouded throne
sometimes i hide
sometimes im shown

we play our part, great thou art
small am i
the serpent to your dove
give thanks
the stars above

they call me low, they dont know
the shape we trace
the flower on your tree
what we have
they cant see

we run the line, at a time
ecliptical
and wandering below
to and fro
watch me go

i adore you
it's all for you

whatever makes it work's ever good by me
no matter what i want lover you stay free
no matter what it takes
we can make it last forever
there's nothing in the way
i'll never make you stay

whatever keeps the feeling from digging in
no matter how we play someone's gotta win
no matter how it sounds
you won't catch me bellyachin
youll never make stay

i'll never be the same

upright, allbright
rippin thru the twilight
blessed is your name
now
you can do anything you want to
i'll never make you stay

you played with me
showed me how to see
i'll never look away
now
you can do anything you want to
i'll never make you stay

i'll never be the same

i'll never be the same

i was up in the morning
ahead by an hour
of the law you uphold
on the line you secure
where the light is unsure
and the atmosphere is cold
i endure

i was out in the night
up and down in the road
catching everyone's eye
and then letting them go
while somewhere far away
you were sat upon your throne
white and gold

and i filled all my cups
but i'm still watering
now i fear i desire
contradictory things
tracing circles around
the salt upon the ground
while i sing

in the din of the fall
i got down every word
in the violence of all
that i saw and i heard
with my feet heavenward
and the wind against my crown
it's absurd

it's enough to do well
but i want to be bad
playing every option
i've already had
while you light up the land
and the denizens rejoice
and be glad

it's enough to do good
all i want's to be fair
sun all shine in my face
tangled up in my hair
if i say that i care
you wont let me get that far
anywhere

im not trying to be
im just rolling along
with a handful of fire
and a head full of songs
and my eyes full of stars
and a voice up in the choir
all along

i belong

how is it feeling now?
we let each other down
we let each other down
draw back into yourself
drink to your health
i'll tell myself

that all i need
is somebody standing next to me
when they say i've got to be
strong enough to stand alone
pick up the phone
i'm asking you to be that somebody
you're asking me to let you go
you'd rather do it on your own

and you appear
like a splash of light upon my wall
pretty shimmer evening sun
barely there before you're gone
you slip away
like a trickle on my open palm
you only want me in your bed
pick on someone else instead

am a loving ever even line
sun is falling, everything's fine

dusk is dawning, everything is mine
all or nothing, wheeling through time

carry water, it won't save ya
love over all / light is the law

early evening, everything is mine
all or nothing, wheeling through time

carry water, it won't save ya
love over all / light is the law

you won't get out for good behaviour
love over all / light is the law

help each other, love your neighbour
love over all / light is the law

every daughter is another
love over all / light is the law

every eye wakes
after every night falls

every day breaks
after every night falls
