Album: What It Is to Burn [2002]
| New Beginnings | |
|
hand me down some photographs
spread across the floor
a broken record spins in circles
she can't listen anymore
she's turned around a thousand times
she set that bridge a fire
but did you wanna listen
you took the world with you
so what is left
so what is left for me
i called you on the phone again
just the other day
it sounds to me you found your place
and everything is great
but did you wanna listen
you took the world with you
so what is left
so what is left for me
i try
so hard to figure out
why
no explanation keeps me waiting
lets try
because i know you won't forget
i know
even if the story is over
but did you wanna listen
you took the world with you
so what is left for me
so what is left for me
but did you wanna listen
you took the world with you
so what is left
so what is left for me
what's left for me

(verse)
I wish it didnt hurt
hurt like this
to say these things to you
I'll sacrifice one moment for one truth
(Chorus)
If we get through tomorrow then well be fine
We?ll wait for forever and see how close we get
I'ts just another day
One more chance to get this right
I'll sacrifice forever please just for tonight
(Chorus)
If we get through tomorrow then well be fine
Well wait forever and see how close we get
The worst is over for now
Take a breath, now let it out
The worst is over for now
Take a breath, now let it out
The worst is over for now

Bite the tongue, to live with what you've done
It's so good
It's so good
Lie to myself while I lie with myself
It's monday and it's raining
It's sunday in the sun
It's so good, but
Would it be so bad, it you were to pretend that you were so happy?
Keep it to yourself, don't let the secret go
If you were so willing
But
Let's pray for this suicide
And all these pictures falling down around me
I've surrounded myself with all I have inside
Would I bite my tongue, and live with what you've done?
Just continue sleeping?
Selfishly?
Selfishly consumed with everything you've rot
There's nothing I can do
But
Let's pray for this suicide
And all these pictures falling down
One wish full now step to the side
And please just let me know
"Are you happy?"
I'll decide
These stories are so old, now they match your eyes
But
Let's pray for this suicide
And all these pictures falling down
One wish full now step to the side
And pick these pictures from the ground that surround me

| Perfection Through Silence | |
|
Alone at last together in a photograph
Our eyes are always open
devoted to perfection through silence
What am I supposed to do?
Should I sit, wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more
This story is old
only to those that have no mold
The truth can be bought or sold
But what are we buying?
Nothing but silence
What am I supposed to do?
Should I sit, wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more
Tell me now just what am I supposed to do?
Should I sit, wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more
Fold the corners, break the silence
Fold the corners just for tonight
Fold the corners, break the silence
Fold the corners just for tonight
Fold the corners, break the silence
(what do we get? what will you write?)
What am I supposed to do?
Should I sit, wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more
Tell me now just what am I supposed to do?
Should I sit, wait for you?
Listen to me screaming more

| Awake | |
|
One devotion, to an empty moment
"Can you stay tonight?"
Silence broken, with words unspoken
Now she's on her knees (no more)
"Feeling so useless, can I beg for one more?" she said
Taking with arms wide open, longing for sleep again
The air is clearing; again we're breathing
Water turns to wine
The day is tired; the night's inside her
Now she is alive (no more)
"Feeling so useless, can I beg for one more?" she said
Taking with arms wide open, longing for sleep again
But now I'm awake
Keep breathing, 'till you feel something
Take my breath away
|
| Without You Here | |
|
Verse 1
The storm is back tonight
So how could I,
Awake without you here?
Your picture's on the wall
You haven't called,
but I'll wait for you
Chorus
To her own reflection she said
"I will hold on"
To her own reflection she said
"I will be strong"
Verse 2
The storm is letting up,
but it won't die
If you weren't wrong was I?
Your picture still remains,
but I wonder
Are you still the same?
Chorus
To her own reflection she said
"I will hold on"
To her own reflection she said
"I will be strong"
Interlude
Am I losing you?
Am I losing you?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm waiting
I'm waiting till it's over x4
It's over now
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ending Chorus
To her own reflection she said
"I will hold on"
To her own reflection she said
"I will be strong"
To her own reflection she said
"I will hold on"
To her own reflection she said

| Stay With Me | |
|
once again your eyes make it hard to say goodbye
so i'll just keep driving
where do you wanna go?
it doesn't really matter as long as you are here with me
with me
with me
whoa, there's something in the air tonight
something that makes me feel alive and i say
whoa, what were the words that you said to me
that made me feel so special now
once again your eyes make it hard to ask you why
so i sit here knuckles tight
hands against the wheel
your head against the glass and you mean so much to me
to me
to me
whoa, there's something in the air tonight
something that makes me feel alive and i say
whoa, what were the words that you said to me
that made me feel so special now
whoa (stay with me)
whoa (stay with me)
whoa (stay with me)
whoa (stay)
stay with me
cigarettes and open air, hand in hand
i said stay with me
cuz every star that i see is brighter than the last
so stay with me
[repeat]

She shouts "the most incessant, the most deplete"
She said "show me conscience with nothing to eat"
She said "null the work"
let's sober up
caught in time with the burn
and so we burn
can you begin at the ending, so that i may begin again?
i took this from you, i thought i was you
now don't misunderstand me
i never meant to create you
only mayhem

Band: Finch
Everything is silent
I feel disconnected
Words turn to phrases, phrases turn to words
So now you know
This is my call
Do you hear me?
And if I fall
Will you be there to catch me?
When you close your eyes now
Are you satisfied?
When this is all over, there will be nothing left
So now you know
This is my call
Do you hear me?
And if I fall
Will you be there to catch me?
This is my call
Do you hear me?
And if I fall
Will you be there to catch me?
It's sharpening beneath me
Beneath my feet
The mouth opens up
To swallow me
Take my hand and lead me home
Take my hand and lead me home
It's sharpening beneath me
Beneath my feet
It's sharpening beneath me
Beneath my feet
It's sharpening

Finch- Three Simple Words
Verse 1:
Open up my eyes, Flooded with daylight
Another Sleepless night turns color black and white
With all the things i've said, there is just regret
Repeating in my head
Verse 2:
Hands into a fist, static in my head
now i'm sitting face to face with lonliness
But what did I expect?
Did I see forever in you?
Chrous 1:
I never wanted it to hurt more than it should
I hope you're satisfied, I never could
Verse 3:
Time to close my eyes, and forget about this mess
try to fix this tragic loss of innocence
But how could I forget, things i have inside
when everything is dead?
Chorus 2:
I never wanted it to hurt more than it should
I hope you're satisfied, I never could
Can't you see, you left me here, here on my own?
Give me one, good reason, why i should let go
Bridge:
With my hands around your neck, who will stop me now?

Here I am beside myself again
I'm torn apart by words that you said
And although I know we're falling apart
Where do you run to so far away
And here we are to sing you a song
And there you are asleep against the window pane
Just like always
Said you like to hear the rain sometimes
And all I can do is tell you the truth
Know my eyes will tell you the same
And here we are to sing you a song
And there you are asleep again
And here we are to sing you a song
And there you are asleep again
We grasp our hands, together we feel,
We are one result
We grasp our hands, together we feel,
We are one result
We grasp our hands, together we feel,
We are one result
We grasp our hands, together we feel,
We are one result

What It Is To Burn
SHE BURNS!!!!!
Today's on fire
The sky is bleeding above me,
and I am blistered
I walk these lines of blasphemy everday,
and still,
Like a bad star
I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only,
One who knows what it is to burn
I feel diseased
Is there no sympathy from the sun?
The sky's still fire,
But i am safe in here,
From the world outside
So tell me...
Whats the price to pay,
For glory?
Like a bad star
I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only,
One who knows,
What it is to burn
Today is fire,
and she burns...
Today,
is fire,
and she burns...
SHE BURNS!!!!
SHE BURNS!!!!
SHE BURNS!!!!
SHE BURNS!!!!
SHE BURNS!!!!
SHE BURNNNS!!
Like a bad star
I'm falling faster down to her
She's the only one who knows
What it is to burn....
