SMELL THIS
THIS STRETCH OF ROAD
CLEAR OUT
THE BUILDINGS
OF COMPROMISES
JUST SAYING
WE ALREADY KNOW
WE’RE TIED TOGETHER
WE’RE TIED TOGETHER
‘CAUSE YOU’RE LEAVING ME
SOMETIMES
JUST TO MAKE ME ALONE
YOU CLOSED YOUR FINGERS
AND BROUGHT YOUR HANDS UP
TO YOUR TEMPLES
‘CAUSE YOU’RE LEAVING ME
SOMETIMES
JUST TO MAKE ME SICK
CLOSED YOUR FINGERS
AND BROUGHT YOUR HANDS UP
TO YOUR TEMPLES
SOMETIMES
JUST TO MAKE ME ALONE
WE’RE TIED TOGETHER
EARLY THE DAY
TO LOSE ANOTHER CHANCE
TO WEAR SOME KINDNESS
EARLY THE DAY
TO TRACK ANYTHING
ABOUT EACH OTHER
ABOUT EACH OTHER
YOU CLOSED YOUR FINGERS
AND BROUGHT YOUR HANDS UP
TO YOUR TEMPLES
TO YOUR TEMPLES

CAN I CONFESS MY LIFE
MY LIFE AND SAY I’M CLEAN
SO MANY PEOPLE LEFT
HAVE LEFT MY LIFE
SO FROM NOW ON AS SOON
SOON I’LL MEET SOMEONE NEW
I WILL PREPARE FOR
PREPARE FOR THE WORST
THINGS I’M AFRAID TO TELL YOU
THINGS I’M AFRAID TO TELL YOU
THINGS I’M AFRAID TO TELL YOU
THE THINGS I’M AFRAID TO TELL YOU

WE'VE ALSO BEEN PUPPIES
WE'VE BEEN KIDS
SO CALLED HEROES
OF THESE STREETS
IN THE CITY'S SMELLS
THEY DON'T EVEN SPARE
OLD HABITS
SOME WEAKNESS
ALL YOU CAN IMAGINE
IS AN ETERNAL WORLD
GOOD BLESSINGS AND CARELESSNESS
ETERNALLY
AND FOR GOOD
EVERLASTING AND SECURE LOVE
IS SOMETHING MISSING
MY DEAR?
IF I'M ASKING
YOU'VE SEEN IT
IT WAS SOMETHING
FLEW AWAY
WE COULD NEVER GO BACK
IF WE ASK OURSELVES
WERE WE LOST FOR WEAKNESS
IT WAS SOMETHING
GONE AWAY
GO BACKWARDS
GO BACKWARDS
GO STRAIGHT

A SECRET PASSWORD
IS A WAY TO SAY FORGIVE
OR EVEN A LOT OF
STOLEN WORDS
WHY WE'RE SCREAMING
ABOUT A BLOW
WHEN WE LOSE IT
IN OUR SMILES
WITHOUT WORDS
YOUR FIRST SENTENCE
IS A BLAST FROM THE PAST
EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE
A PHOTO SHOOT
I MISS THE
THE WARMTH
THE SMELL OF MORNINGS
AWAKENINGS OF JUNE
I GET HOPEFUL
COMING BACK ON
YOU'RE BLINDFOLDED
BLINDFOLDED
WHY WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT A DETAIL
IF THE LANDSCAPE
IS SUCH A PAINT
WHY WE'RE LAUGHING
ABOUT A DETAIL
WHEN WE'RE LEARNING
FROM THE PAST
I MISS THE
THE WARMTH
THE SMELL OF MORNINGS
AWAKENINGS OF JUNE
I GET HOPEFUL
COMING BACK ON
YOU'RE BLINDFOLDED
BLINDFOLDED
BLINDFOLDED

WHAT IF I'M LEARNING TO FIND A PLACE
TO CONQUER
THIS TELEVISED PAIN
DEATH IS NOT THE ENEMY
WE NEVER REALLY PART
SO FIGHT THE LONELINESS
DAMN THE LONELINESS
OVERRATED
INTO QUICKSANDS
A SHIP OF HOPES
WHEN YOU SANG WHOLE-HEARTED
“COME BACK TO ME”
STRAIGHT, QUIVER
TAKE ME BACK TO WHAT THEY'VE STOLEN
DISTRESSED, WE'RE CRAWLING
DO YOU CARE IF THEY REALLY STOLE IT
STRAIGHT, QUIVER
TAKE US BACK TO WHAT THEY'VE STOLEN
DISTRESSED, WE'RE CRAWLING
DID YOU CARE WHEN THE WORLD SEEMED WHOLE
WHEN ALL THE ANSWERS TRULY MEANT SOMETHING
AND STROKE LIKE HEAVENLY LIGHT
THE WINDOW WAS ALL WE COULD SEE
IN ALL ITS HIGHS AND LOWS
WHEN YOU SANG WHOLE-HEARTED
"COME BACK TO ME”
ALL I ASK IS INNOCENCE AND NOT EVEN AN ENEMY"

AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT
WOULD YIELD AND CALL A TRUCE
THIS TIME I WAITED LONGER
YOU TOUGHT I’D CUT YOU LOOSE
YOU SEE ME IN THE CORNER
YEAH YOU SEE ME LIKE A FOOL
CAN’T TELL THE ONLY ONE THAT
THAT ALWAYS TELLS THE TRUTH
“SURE THAT I CHANGED”
THAT’S WHAT I SAID
BUT HAVE YOU PLENTY OF MEMORIES
FOR TODAY?
YOU KEEP YOUR DISTANCE
THIS MUCH BE CLEAR
YOU’RE THE HEART AND SOUL OF US
YOU’VE WALLED YOURSELF OFF
FROM THESE WORDS
AGAINST A ROPE
RIGHT ENOUGH
UNLESS IT’S A RACE
UNLESS IT’S A GAME
SILENT, CHAINED, BLINDED
YOU DRAG ME OUT
YOU DRAG ME OUT
YOU’RE THE HEART AND SOUL OF US
YOU KEEP YOUR DISTANCE
THIS MUCH BE CLEAR
AGAINT A ROPE
RIGHT ENOUGH
