    It's still growing up just like me, .
    Still growing, still breathing, still avoiding dying.
    Still playing, still loving, still avoiding crying, yeah.
    As the crow flies, as the tree grows, tomorrow I'll die.
    Something I never thought I'd know.

    Another Beck song

    Volcano

    I’ve been walking on these streets so long
    I don’t know where they’re going to lead anymore
    but I think I must have seen a ghost
    I don’t know if it’s my illusions that keep me alive
    I don’t know what I’ve seen
    Was it all an illusion?
    All a mirage gone bad?
    I’m tired of evil and all that it feeds
    But I don’t know

    I’ve been drifting on this wave so long
    I don’t know if it’s already crashed on the shore
    And I’ve been riding on this train so long
    I can’t tell if it’s you or me who’s driving us into the ground
    I don’t know if I’m sane
    But there’s a ghost in my heart
    who’s trying to see in the dark
    I’m tired of people who only want to be pleased
    but I still want to please you

    and I heard of that Japanese girl
    who jumped into the volcano
    was she trying to make it back?
    back into the womb of the world

    I’ve been drinking all these tears so long
    all I’ve got left is the taste of salt in my mouth
    I don’t know where I’ve been
    But I know where I’m going
    to that volcano
    I don’t want to fall in though
    just want to warm my bones
    on that fire a while

    "Starring at the mirror
    I see your smile through my own
    Your spark embedded deep inside
    Will give me strength
    Will give us hope..."
    This is for you (seeing XR preform last night brought back a lot of memories, I hope I'm not alone in them)

    Change the names and it sums it up quite nicely.
    "Happy"

    I don't hang around that place no more
    I'm tired of wearing circles in the floor
    And I don't carry myself very well
    I've gotten so much braver, can you tell

    I'm happy, can't you see
    I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee

    And I line my secrets up all one by one
    I put 'em all away when I was done
    And I would really love to hear your voice sometime
    To close a little distance in my mind

    I'm happy, can't you see
    I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee

    I believe

    Where have you been all these years
    How could you just disappear
    And when did you stop missing me

    I'm happy, can't you see
    I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee
    I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"

    And if it´s all right with you
    I just talk with myself
    I never was the one to believe that

    And with a light shining down on you
    You sure look tragic too
    And if it´s all right with you
    I just talk with myself


    With all the stars so bright
    And the light shine down
    And everything glows all around
    And you wonder when
    The perfect time for love is
    And when it all gets hard
    And it all gets tough
    And everything won´t be enough
    We´re gonna throw a stone
    And it´ll come true for loving

    And if you just say where and when
    Then I will be there waiting
    ´Cause I would really love to see you again
    Woh-oh oh

    I´ve seen you passing by
    And when you caught my eye
    I though: God, this could be the next big thing
    And how I wish for your command
    Telling me to hold your hand
    Oh baby let it rain
    Woh-oh oh

    Oh yeah

    It´s never real

    Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
    Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
    Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
    Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

    What are you running from?
    Taking pills to get along
    Creating walls to call your own
    So no one catches you drifting off and
    Doing all the things that we all do...

    Touch, touch in the flame's desire
    Feeling the pain's denial
    And your finger's in the fire
    Look, look in the candle light
    See in the flame of life
    And my spell our lie

    Taste the love
    The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
    The passion and all the pain are one
    You're sleeping in the fire

    Taste the love
    The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
    You feel what it does and you're drunk on love
    You're sleeping in the fire

    I gaze as the flame and fire burn
    And cry out the name of which I yearn

    Taste the love
    The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
    The passion and all the pain are one
    You're sleeping in the fire

    Taste the love
    The Lucifer's magic that makes you numb
    You feel what it does and you're drunk on love

    Take the makeup off your eyes
    I've got to see you, hear your sacred sighs
    Before the break up, comes the silence
    I'm talking to you. You say you're over it,
    But I know

    I thought I knew you. You thought you knew me
    But now that you do, it's not so easy now
    That I know

    You can cry; I won't go. You can scream; I won't go
    Every man that you know would have run at the word go
    Little boys with their porno, oh, I know they hurt you so
    They don't know what we know. Never know what we know

    And all your makeup, just take it all off
    I've got to find you before the line is lost
    I know I hurt you, I won't deny it
    When I reach for you, you say, "I'm over it."
    But I know

    You can cry; I won't go. You can scream; I won't go
    Every man that you know would have run at the word go
    Little boys with their porno, oh, I know they hurt you so
    They don't know what I know. It's so little that we know
    But the cup it overflows. Little boys with their porno
    This is their world, where can we go?

    Makes me feel like something's wrong with me
    Makes me feel like something's wrong with me
    Can you see me?

    You can cry; I won't go. You can scream; I won't go
    Little boys with their porno. Little boys with their porno
    Makes me feel like something's wrong. It's the only world we know
    Yeah, something's wrong. Little boys with their porno

    And boys they learn some selfish shit until the girl won't put up with it
    On and on and on we go. I just have to know. I'm not over it
    I'm not over it

    So love is real like a disease.
    Come on tell me please,
    I'm not over it
    I'm not over it

    Do you see the way that tree bends?
    Does it inspire?
    Leaning out to catch the sun's rays
    A lesson to be applied
    Are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

    Have you ideas on how this life ends?
    Checked your hands and studied the lines
    Have you the belief that the road ahead, ascends off into the light?
    Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
    To find an approach and a way to live
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets, oh
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

    Follow the strangest tribe.

    It's 6:00 AM. You're waiting for...
    You've had your feast. You're wanting more.

    Follow the wayward mile.
    Follow the distant high.
    Follow the strangest tribe.
    I... I... I...

    Follow the ancient stripe.
    Follow the angel's try.
    Follow the strangest tribe.

  • It's a hopeless... situation
    And I'm starting to believe
    That this hopeless... situation
    Is what I'm trying to achieve

    But I try
    To run on
    Towards
    All or none,... all or none

    Here's the selfless confession
    Leading me back to war
    Can we help that,.. our destinations
    Are the ones we've been before

    I still try
    To run on
    Towards all
    Or none,... all or none

    To myself I... surrender
    To the one I'll never please

    But I still try,.. to run on
    I still try,.. to run on
    But it's
    All or none,... all or none.

    was unconditional,

    still wouldn't be enough

    to save me.

    Why I never walked away
    Why I played myself this way
    Now I see you're testing me pushes me away
    Why I never walked away
    Why I played myself this way
    Now I see your testing me pushes me away

    I've tried like you
    To do everything you wanted too
    This is the last time
    I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

  • Now the first day that I met ya
    I was looking in the sky
    When the sun turned all a blur
    and the thunderclouds rolled by
    The sea began to shiver
    and the wind began to moan
    It must've been a sign for me
    to leave you well alone
    I was born without you, baby
    but my feelings were a little bit too strong

    you never said you love me
    and I don't believe you can
    'cause I saw you in a dream
    and you were with another man
    You looked so cool and casual
    and I tried to look the same
    But now I've got to know ya
    tell me who am I to blame?
    I was born without you, baby
    but my feelings were a little bit too strong

    Now the whole wide world is movin'
    'cause there's iron in my heart
    I just can't keep from cryin'
    'cause you say we've got to part
    Sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone
    And watch you slowly take away
    a love I've never known
    I was born without you, baby
    but my feelings were a little bit too strong

  • There's a look on your face I would like to knock out
    See the sin in your grin and the shape of your mouth
    All I want is to see you in terrible pain
    Though we won't ever meet I remember your name
    Can't believe you were once just like anyone else
    Then you grew and became like the devil himself
    Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to say
    But I don't think I can so fuck you anyway
    You are scum, you are scum and I hope that you know
    That the cracks in your smile are beginning to show
    Now the world needs to see that it's time you should go
    There's no light in your eyes and your brain is too slow
    Can't believe you were once just like anyone else
    Then you grew and became like the devil himself
    Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to say
    But I don't think I can, so fuck you anyway
    Bet you sleep like a child with your thumb in your mouth
    I could creep up beside put a gun in your mouth
    Makes me sick when I hear all the shit that you say
    So much crap coming out it must take you all day
    There's a space left in hell with your name on the seat
    With a spike in the chair just to make it complete
    When you look at yourself do you see what I see
    If you do why the fuck are you looking at me

    Why the fuck why the fuck are you looking at me


    There's a time for us all and I think yours has been
    Can you please hurry up cause I find you obscene
    We can't wait for the day that you're never around
    When that face isn't here and you rot underground
    Can't believe you were once just like anyone else
    Then you grew and became like the devil himself
    Pray to god I can think of a nice thing to say
    But I don't think I can so fuck you anyway

    So fuck you anyway

    Packing in and overgrown
    Love is deep,... dig it out

  • I can fly
    But I want his wings
    I can shine even in the darkness
    But I crave the light that he brings
    Revel in the songs that he sings

    I can love
    But I need his heart
    I am strong even on my own
    But from him I never want to part
    He's been there since the very start

    My angel Gabriel

    Bless the day he came to be
    Angel's wings carried him to me
    Heavenly
    I can fly
    But I want his wings
    I can shine even in the darkness
    But I crave the light that he brings
    Revel in the songs that he sings
