There Must Be Something In The Water Lyrics - Blindside

I can't breathe
Swallowing water and then
A single breath then under again
Cuts blood razor-rock and silent scream
But nothing is what it seems
And I'm not nearly as tired as you think I am

I know you're pulling me under
But I'm back again
Now there's a storm in my eye
You don't scare me anymore
Come now come spirit of thunder
Hold me again
Now there's a storm in my eye

Hey river
Don't you dare speak my name
Dark river
Because it's pulling me down
The thing is
You could never really pronounce my name right
There's a storm in my eye

I know you're pulling me under
But I'm back again
Now there's a storm in my eye
You don't scare me anymore
Come now come spirit of thunder
Hold me again
Now there's a storm in my eye

Don't you dare speak my name
I'm not drowning today

My Heart Escapes Lyrics - Blindside

The smell of water on the sidewalk
And the breath of rain in my lungs
To meet you after this long time
Tells me I'm not that young
Not a word spoken from your lips or mine
You're like a dream
I thought I left behind

I shouldn't sleep
I should wake up

I never meant to give it away
My heart escapes and I try
To catch it when it runs to you
So here I stand in silence
With bloodstains on my raincoat
My heart escapes
My heart escapes and runs to you

You're still the same underneath those grey clothes I gave you
And your photo remains in my wallet
You are planting seeds of color in my ground
Do I dare to stay or do I walk away?
I wish I was safe and sound

I shouldn't sleep
I should wake up

I never meant to give it away
My heart escapes and I try
To catch it when it runs to you
So here I stand in silence
With bloodstains on my raincoat
My heart escapes
Catch it
Catch it when it runs to you
There is still rain in my heart
And the blood is see-through like water
But I still wear your ring on my finger
And you're still wearing mine

I never meant to give you away
My heart escapes and
I should have tried
To catch it and run to you
Here I stand in silence
With bloodstains on my raincoat
My heart escapes
My heart escapes and runs to you

Catch me when I run to you

Monster On The Radio Lyrics - Blindside

We hold our flag high with blisters on our hands
We scream our lungs out
Words we don't understand
Hey radio did you play my song?
Did you say my name?
I couldn't hear I might be wrong
I could be wrong

And still we're turning it up

I'll give everything I have and more
To the monster on the radio
A star shines brighter than before
When you're a monster on the radio
And I scream and I fight
and they chew and they spit me out
I'll give everything I have and more
To be a monster on the radio

Frequency unclear
Do I hear myself through the static and noise?
My heart is still beating
But I can't hear it over the sound of my own voice
This is my own voice

And still I'm turning it up

I'll give everything I have and more
To the monster on the radio
A star shines brighter than before
When you're a monster on the radio
And I scream and I fight
and they chew and they spit me out
I'll give everything I have and more
To be a monster on the radio

Frequency unclear
Do I hear myself through the static and noise?

Hey radio did you play my song?
Hey radio
Hey radio did you play my song?
Hey radio

I'll give everything I have and more
To the monster on the radio
A star shines brighter than before
When you're a monster on the radio
And I scream and I fight
and they chew and they spit me out
I'll give everything I have and more
To be a monster on the radio

It's All I Have Lyrics - Blindside

Wake up the sun goes down
This day was shorter
Another day goes by
Another day passes by

Wake up and run for the crown
Not now but soon
we'll have a daughter
Another day goes by
Another day passes by

I know it's all I have
I keep my promises to you in this
pocket full of holes
And I know
I know it's all I have
But you look beautiful
in that bracelet of joy
You shine when you put on
that necklace of peace

Wake up my heavy heart
Did I just swallow a stone?
This day would not go by
Another day on standby
I woke up out of breath
Stuck in a dead zone
Another day to search the sky
Another day with nothing but clouds

I know it's all I have
I keep my promises to you in this
pocket full of holes
Yes I know
I know it's all I have
But you look beautiful
in that bracelet of joy
You shine when you put on
that necklace of peace

I know I can't make you wear it
But I sure will try
I know I can't make you wear it
But I sure will try

I know it's all I have
I keep my promises to you in this
pocket full of holes
And I know
I know it's all I have
But I can't make you wear it
But you look beautiful
in that bracelet of joy
You shine when you put on
that necklace of peace

Bloodstained Hollywood Ending Lyrics - Blindside

Unpack that suitcase it's not time to leave
Unpack that broken heart
There's a window throw it out
It's a good way to start

You're half-asleep I'm wide awake
You're frozen is the ice about to break
And I'm done tiptoeing around you

I cross my heart and hope to die
You gave your all and so did I
Close your eyes and see
This is a bloodstained Hollywood ending

This is like a run to the airport movie
Can I catch you before you leave?
This is the end of the line
The choice is yours - Recent or receive

You're half-asleep I'm wide awake
You're frozen is the ice about to break
I'm done tiptoeing around you

I cross my heart and hope to die
You gave your all and so did I
Close your eyes and try
This is a bloodstained Hollywood ending

Our Love Saves Us Lyrics - Blindside

Don't you worry it's fine
Your hand's not letting go of mine
If worse comes to worse
I'll hold tight even if it hurts

And now the ground is shaking
It's trying to tear us down
But we won't be forsaken
Because we know what we've found

Our love saves us
The river runs deep but our spirits grow tall
Our love saves us now
We jump from stone to stone
but you know we won't fall

Do you remember that promise?
Remember when it was new
How deep into you I fell
I believed in us then and I still do
But now the ground is shaking
and we know what we found

Our love saves us
The river runs deep but our spirits grow tall
Our love saves us now
We jump from stone to stone but you know we won't fall
Save us
Save us now
Save us
Save us now

With shivering hearts we wait
We watch the sky
We hesitate
With shivering hearts we wait
I'm still holding on

Our love saves us
The river runs deep but our spirits grow tall
Our love saves us now
We jump from stone to stone but you know we won't fall
Save us
Save us now
Save us
Save us now

Save us
Save us now

Bring Out Your Dead Lyrics - Blindside

Heavy like 1000 pounds
What if I told you now
To carry the smell of death is
harder than it sounds
Heavy like 1000 pounds
I bite my lips and look around
You said:
My dear, it smells like corpse in here

Bring out
Bring out your dead
Bring out
Bring out your dead
Bring out
Bring out your dead
Bring out
Bring out your dead

Pull out the speakers now
What comes out I will allow
I didn't come here to die
Dare to see what's inside
It feels like suicide
My favorite corpse I like to hide

Who am I without
my skeleton friend?
Without the rules I bend
Can these broken bones mend?
Scared if I let it all out
You will know what I'm about
And the void, what do I fill it with
Once that corpse is gone

Bring out, bring out, bring out, bring out
Bring out
Bring out your dead
Bring out
Bring out your dead
Bring out
Bring out your dead
Bring out
Bring out what's dead
Bring out your dead

Pull out the speakers now
What comes out I will allow
I didn't come here to die
Dare to see what's inside
It feels like suicide
My favorite corpse I like to hide

When I let this corpse out
He will bite your soul
It will make you bleed
When I let this corpse go
Will you do the same,
will you let him go?
Let go

Pull out the speakers now
What comes out I will allow
I didn't come here to die
Dare to see what's inside
It feels like suicide
My favorite corpse I like to hide

When I let this corpse out
He will bite your soul
It will make you bleed
When I let this corpse go
Look me in the eye and let me
know I'm not dead

Withering Lyrics - Blindside

Are you sure I'm what you came for
Are we playing still?
You already know my secret hideout
This is hide-and-seek with no point whatsoever
This is hide-and-seek with no point whatsoever

Hey I'm still glorious
But I'm withering like roses in the fall

But it's you alone I wait for
When I run to the hideout
You're the inception of beauty
I lay in tar and roll around in feathers
Hide and seek with no point whatsoever

Hey, I'm still glorious
But I'm withering like roses in the fall

And we break our silence
with a toast that shatters glass
And with a shard you stab my heart out
and it's grey and out of shape
I feel its growing back inside as you hold my hand
I said move, you stand right in my shame
But you stand your ground

Say that I'm still glorious
Say that I'm not withering like roses

Hey, I'm still glorious
While I'm withering like roses in the fall

Cold Lyrics - Blindside

You put a little black flower
in my left shirt-pocket
I still feel it now as something heavy
But it's losing leaves somehow
We wait for nothing now
We were never really close
Don't pretend there's not ice
in your blood
So please hush we're at the edge
One of us needs to jump or push

And so your eyes starts running
but your face looks cold

Because it's just cold when
it's not right
And it's a heartache
that you never could satisfy
It's just cold with frozen kisses
and a breath of ice
It's just cold when it's not right
Is this a goodbye?

Now you're holding my hand until
your knuckles are turning white
On my skin there's frost and yes I
feel sorry but for time lost
Spent in your cold embrace
I didn't chose this but it's the time
and it's the place
We're at the edge of the cliff
One of us needs to jump or push

Your eyes starts running
but your face looks old
And it's just cold when it's not right
And it's a heartache
that you never could satisfy
It's just cold with frozen kisses and
a breath of ice
It's just cold when it's not right
Is this a goodbye?

And it's just cold when it's not right
And it's a heartache
that you never could satisfy

This could be a good
A real good
A goodbye

There Must Be Something In The Wind Lyrics - Blindside

There must be something
in the wind
That wants me to die
To leave all this behind
To let go of these chains
and let them fall
It's like I've always known you and
still don't know who you are

And I can hear the thunder roaring
from a distance
And it's me on the shoreline
Slowly but surely
you're moving close
And you're pushing the water
Yes you're pushing the water
Please come wash over me

Waves arrive like thunder
I'm not scared to end up under
Wash away my heartache
that's creeping in
I'm not scared to loose my skin

The sky is electric tonight
My savior from myself
is on the move
My long lost love
My redeemer
Come and remind me

The curse is broken
Heavy burdens are lifted off
And my soul is light as a feather
in your storm

Waves arrive like thunder
I'm not scared to end up under
Wash away my heartache that's
creeping in
I'm not scared to loose my skin

I'm waiting for you
I always have
I'm waiting for you
And I always have

I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you

The Way You Dance Lyrics - Blindside

Softly like a touch of a dark angel
Her hand in yours
You're dressed to kill
Can she tell

Swing your partner to the right
Swing your partner to the left
It scares me, the way you dance
She looks pretty
Hair glittering with confetti
How does it feel man
Hold steady
Is she ready
Does she like it dancing on the broken glass

Watching you from across the room
One hand on the waist while the other, knuckles turning white
Are you holding on for dear life or does she not know how to let go

Swing your partner to the left
It scares me, the way you dance
She looks pretty
Hair glittering with confetti
How does it feel man
Hold steady
Is she ready
Does she like it dancing on the broken glass

I see you're wearing your shoes
Where are hers
And see I'm wearing my shoes

I don't want to but in this square dance
Everybody has to dance
Everybody dance now

Swing your partner to the left
It scares me, the way you dance
She looks pretty
Hair glittering with confetti
How does it feel man
Hold steady
Is she ready
Does she like it dancing on her broken dreams

Slow Motion Lyrics - Blindside

Slipped away out of my hands like a soap once again
Hey what a day, gone for the night and then
Run back home and tuck yourself in for a needed sleep
For another work-week, what a day what a day
Then wake up, oh no, sunset, I missed another day
One slap on the cheek and out the door
Running and running and coming closer to stumbling
If you run with a knife, you fall.
You stick a hole in that bubble called life
But my weapon is clean and I'm ready to go
Run nicotine, caffeine through my veins
To wake up, catch up, but it seems like

Ohhh.. I've been living in slow motion
I've been living in slow motion

Hold your breath and count to three
Not me, I've got to see what's around the corner ok
One two three... I've got to have air
Stumbling around spinning the disco ball faster
More of everything
It smells like burning rubber under my shoes
But I'm always one step behind, one minute too late
Hey operator, could you connect me with a respirator
I'm running after life like a dog on a leech
But life keeps slipping away

Ohhh.. I've been living in slow motion
I've been living in slow motion

We make it a hard synchronize
Stuck stuck stuck stuck in the lies you better
Leave leave because so many times
I run 50 miles an hour and I get sick sick sick
Wait wait I can't hold your breath
Stay stay won't let you go away
I'll stay and sleep with the lions
If you say you won't go away

I've been running
I've been running out of time

I've been living in,
I've been living in slow motion

Pretty Nights Lyrics - Blindside

Pace is picking up
Tempo changing slowly gradually hardly noticeable
One beat per minute becomes two and two makes four
Now where is that door

To reality check me out and in and out of this motel rooms
It's unbelievable is this retrievable
I think I better leave

Pretty nights flashing photo lights
I feel all right as long as smiles are shining bright
What a game what a night
I feel all right I said
Pretty nights pretty nights but got nothing to say

Who touched the volume knob
Has it always been this loud
Allowed it to go from one
Does this one go to eleven
I think I better leave

Nothing is silent except the thoughts in my head
And all those words have been said
Feels unbelievable are they retrievable
Because all I do is scream to overpower this noise

Pretty nights flashing photo lights
I feel all right as long as smiles are shining bright
What a game what a night
I feel all right I said
Pretty nights pretty nights but got nothing to say

Pace is picking up tempo changing the common normal
Normalized us and paralyzed us and left us with a sadness
And now it's hovering in the air in between our eyes
I know we can find our way around
Around if we can only find the time
Time we don't have but that has been given

Pretty nights flashing photo lights
I feel all right as long as smiles are shining bright
What a game what a night
I feel all right I said
Pretty nights pretty nights but got nothing to say

The Color Of My Eyes Lyrics - Blindside

Take back that photograph it breaks my heart
And I will wait by the telephone
While the silence pressures my eardrum
I found a black and white with a person smiling sad at me
Now I know can't get back that photograph once it's been seen

Promise you won't let me fall asleep never to wake up
Til my breath is gone don't let the color of my eyes fade
Promise you will find a way through the night while the angels cry
You color your heart blood red love does not fade away

Can't give back that photograph once it's been signed
And I can't stop thinking about your voice
Now it's keeping me up at night
I found myself on a black and white staring back at me
Now I know, can't get back that photograph
It just needs color

Promise you won't let me fall asleep never to wake up
Til my breath is gone don't let the color of my eyes fade
Promise you will find a way through the night while the angels cry
You color your heart blood red love does not fade away

Blood-drop on that black and white
Is the only thing that can colorize these non-colored eyes

Promise you won't let me fall asleep never to wake up
Til my breath is gone don't let the color of my eyes fade
Promise you will find a way through the night while the angels cry
You color your heart blood red love does not fade

The Black Rose Lyrics - Blindside

Black rose where are you now
White skin as cold as the snow we walked in
Your lips like midnight
That night we walked for hours
And I remember
But maybe I'm the only one who still remembers

You slipped away
Why would you come back to say
You've already moved on
You slipped away
But I've come back to say that you're not really gone

My black rose where are you now
And yes I've seen your black rose petal fall
Fall down to the ground like glass shatters
And turning into ashes
But I've seen your color and it's like a blood drop
And maybe I'm the only one
Who still remembers

You've slipped away
But why would you come back to say
You've already moved on
You slipped away
But I've come back to say that you're not really gone

So try to disappear
But my mind doesn't slip that easy
You can try to disappear
But my dear you're still standing here

You've slipped away
But why would you come back to say
You've already moved on
You slipped away
But I've come back to say that you're not really gone

"The Great Depression" (2005)

This Is A Heart Attack Lyrics - Blindside

Frost in the grass glitters
Dance in it barefoot for awhile
Until it hurts and i'll know it stings
Before turning numb
I guess you win and you lose some

We're at war
Realize this is a heart-attack
One nation under at attack
Heart is frozen but it's ready to crack

Frostbite biting slow
Turning blood and veins cold
Ice with claws climbing
Unwards my veins
But i will be searching for a heart that won't get old

Ask Me Now Lyrics - Blindside

And so one morning just before dawn you came
Out of the forest towards my window
With a smile in your hand
As the moist air up to your knees started swirling like smoke
I saw your lips move
Asking: did you lose something?
I stood glued to the window

Emotions running through my vein
Now I know a word I can't explain

I think I've known you all along
Just lost your face in the crowd for awhile
I think I have been holding my breath all my life
Can I exhale and go into exile
So ask me now and I'll run away with you

And so with the dawn you've come
Eye to eye with nothing in between but this fragile glass
Your lips move again
I try but I can't detect the vibrations in the air
How I've still early and I see your words getting caught
In the window slowly turning into frost

I see your hand move and I can't detain
Scraping down a word I can't explain

I think I've known you all along
Just lost your face in the crowd for awhile
I think I have been holding my breath all my life
Can I exhale and go into exile
So ask me now and I'll run away with you

And so one morning just before dawn you came
And so with the dawn you've come

I think I've known you all along
Just lost your face in the crowd for awhile
I think I have been holding my breath all my life
Can I exhale and go into exile
So ask me now and I'll run away with you

I will
Ask me now and I'll run away with you
Just lost your face in the crowd for awhile
Ask me now and I'll run away with you
Can I exhale and go into exile
Ask now and I'll run away with you

We're All Going To Die Lyrics - Blindside

Wait up, don't you close your eyes
Breathe life little flower
You've got 20 t-cells left to burn
Please choose life with its sweet and sour

Don't sing your last lullaby
I don't think it's time

We're all going to die
But we're all not meant to die young

Wait up, don't you close your eyes
Love has been hidden in the shadow
You've got the rope already tied around your neck
One voice whispers life through your sorrow

Don't sing your last lullaby
I don't think its time

We're all going to die
But we're all not meant to die young

This is not your lullaby
Don't go to sleep
Not yet

We're all going to die
But we're all not meant to die young
Wait for the sunrise
Cause we're all not meant to die young

Yamkela Lyrics - Blindside

Wasted disposable dying scum
Two months tops before silence replaces your small beating drum
Isn't that what we're all waiting for
So we can go home and celebrate our good life

But i feel gun powder
Burning under my skin
Don't say another word
You might set off a spark
Cause i've got gun powder
Burning under my skin

Take me back to tv-land
Numbness is a safe zone
They never trained me for reality
I'm a reality-tv clone
Now did you say your 10 going on 11?
Something is terribly wrong
Somehow i'm dying with you

But i feel gun powder
Burning under my skin
Don't say another word
You might set off a spark
Cause i've got gun powder
Burning under my skin

Yamkela
Don't leave now

The Great Depression Lyrics - Blindside

We are the sons and daughters of a revolution, revolutionaries walking us out of opression and into a
no-low promise land.

and this is leaves us with a great sense of sadness dwelling inside our soul. no one can explain where
its' coming from or where its taking us.

we just know that something is lost, but somehow we are lost, lost

and this my friend, is the great depression

Put Back The Stars Lyrics - Blindside

Put back the stars
I'm out of shape tonight
Pinhole black velvet
Navigation-skills got lost with the fading light
It was there not more then a second ago
Now what do you know, what i do know
Is just not good enough to make things right
Put back the stars
I'm out of place tonight

Ain't it something to know your lost

I hoist my sail
Through there is no wind in sight
And i close my eyes to feel the fresh breeze
Paint the inside of my eyelids bright
Fill the sky with your breath
Cause you know im out of mine
Let the sky burn and i will inhale
Without a fight
I hoist my sail
And i'll just wait for you tonight

Ain't it something to know you have lost

Black tar surrounds me now
But life is the next door neighbor
On the outside there is just absence
But when i close my eyes
All i see is your face

Ain't it something to know you're lost
Ain't it something to know you're lost
Ain't it something i know i've lost

Fell In Love With The Game Lyrics - Blindside

Put the knife in the table
Deck of cards fly across the room
This game has ended someone need to die
Cause i put my life on the table but forgot the risk i assume
Now it's going down

Fell in love with the game
But i forgot your name
Go ahead please fight me
Cause i'm not scared
Though you stayed the same
I forgot from where i came

I put my life on this table
This is me and i'm lost for words
Now is it me who needs to die
Say something then
Cause i'll be dead before dawn
If your voice comes unheard
Now i can't find ground

Fell in love with the game
But i forgot your name
Go ahead please fight me
Cause i'm not scared
Though you stayed the same
I forgot from where i came

And we both stand tall on the table
You take me by the hand and i grab you by the throat
And we came crashing down through the window
On the dirt ground below
And we wrestle in the mud and the blood and the beer
Break my jaw i don't care
Just stay with me, stay

Look my arms i don't want to move
Hold me still teach me how to weep
If it's ok with you i think i'll stay here
For a little while

Fell in love with the game
But i forgot your name
Go ahead please find me
Cause i'm not scared
Though you stayed the same
I forgot where i came from

City Lights Lyrics - Blindside

I took a walk down 4th avenue when i saw it
A red line in the concrete
Leading somewhere out of sight
Something compelled me to stop
So i jumped over the fence
Started following from what appeared to be
The trail of a leaking tin can
Leading into the alley away from the light

Now this is what needs to be done
Blacklight shining in the dark
Brings out brightness more than in the sun
Do i dare to stay
Cause somehow i want to

Trade love for the city lights
You chose me to stay
Trade light for the city love
You chose me to stay

So now what if i continue this walk
The red line is taking me down trashcans lonely street
Yes the streets have neames but the people don't
Or are they forgotten
And i'm starting to smell something beautiful
Though these streets are rotten

Trade love for the city lights
You chose me to stay
Trade light for the city love
You chose me to stay

We Are To Follow Lyrics - Blindside

These streets are as cold and wet
As my eyes, flesh and bones are longing home
I was taken out of context
And to think you had me not speaking for a month or two
But it's not you i know
It's just me waiting
Waiting for the sun to come out

We are to follow
What if i could stand still and get moved

We are to follow
We are nothing running blind
We are to follow
We are so sick of it now
We are to follow
But im scared to be left behind
We are to follow
Nothing now

The TV dies more and more for each day
And the beauty of your eyes (in my hand)
Makes the flashing lights behind me on the wall look even more pale
Four o'clock and the sky is getting red
And here i am, just me waiting
Waiting for the sun to come out

Im throwing myself at you
And i'm holding on for dear life
Can i scream out of tune in this choir
God help me scream

What if i would stand still and get moved
By you

You Must Be Bleeding Under Your Eyelids Lyrics - Blindside

Her pain is a fog that he inhales
Puts down the phone, neck suddenly stale
It's just another night with a sad different song
Heard from somewhere now she sings along
Turn the car-key, back out of the driveway
He sees her face and he closes his eyes
She still believes the lies

Pretty pretty eyes with a darker tone
Another hour in front of the mirror now all the scars are shown
They say lets have another toast lets sing another song
She tries but the vine is bitter and the words wrong
She still believe the lies

When you see yourself you're seeing red
And it makes you blind
You must be bleeding under your eyelids tonight
You wait for something to break the mold
And all I can do is wipe the blood from your eyes
You must be bleeding under your eyelids

One tear in the sink, swallow the next one
Now out of sight but not really gone
I put the key in the door don't walk to walk through
Hang on the handle for a second or two
As the door opens I can feel your sadness from across the room
And now for your beauty I'm lost for words

When you see yourself you're seeing red
And it makes you blind
You must be bleeding under your eyelids tonight
You wait for something to break the mold
And all I can do is wipe the blood from your eyes
You must be bleeding under your eyelids

Wait for something to break the mold
Before your eyes fros old and cold
Keep your ears close to the ground
Don't move until you hear a sound

My Alibi Lyrics - Blindside

My feet felt light for the first time in months
It was like you came walking across the room
Straight at me and then straight through me
And then stopped and stood still for awhile
I knew then that i'd been lonely for quite some time
And as we started to dance you gently took off my tear soaked coat
And let it fall heavy to the floor and then
We danced some more

When all is said and done
When all is gone and still just begun
I will be asked what i did with my time and why
Can you be my alibi
Cause i know i spent it dancing with you

I have been here before
These emotions are relived
It's like a joy deja vu
You have been walking along
With me for quite some time
But me with my deaf ear and blind sides
Both of these i turned against you
We all know that you're there
We all know

When all is said and done
When all is gone and still just begun
I will be asked what i did with my time and why
Can you be my alibi
Cause i know i spent it dancing with you

Said and done
Now all is gone and still just begun
What have i done with my time and why
You are my alibi
Cause i know
I know im dancing with you

Come To Rest (Hesychia) Lyrics - Blindside

Sit down in the carousel
Up front like a brave boy
Don't scream like a little girl
Shut up boys don't cry

Come to a rest that flows
From a spring unseen
Cause honestly you're scaring me

Keep up with the schedule
Shape up, have to perform
Hold out for everyone
Dont fail, not now

Come to a rest that flows
From a spring unseen
Cause honestly you're scaring me

Failure is not a option
Have to keep on trying

So much to live up to
So many expectations
Tring so hard to be a approved
A straight A student with yet another F
Oh no gotta make daddy proud now

Come to a rest that flows
From a spring unseen
Cause honestly you're scaring me

Failure is not a option
Have to keep on trying
So much pressure
Can't take this no more
The cause of death
Suicide

This Time Lyrics - Blindside

All seems wasted now you comb your hair
While your eyes search for a backdoor to get out
All you could do was to leave your deeds at the door
As you entered this room of sickness and doubt
But i saw you put down the memories in your coat just before
Now you want to drink but need someone to pour
To pour your heart out

This time
You know this is real
When you're scared to reveal
This time
Could you leave this now
Even if you knew how
This time
Looking over your shoulder
You have become older
This time
Are you afraid to die

With nothing left the pressure is off
To become all you needed to survive
With a color black you would not be blessed
In a church that decides on color and puts a price
On a paradise you now seem to know so well
But i knkow
I see jesus in your eye, so kiss the sky... and leave this now
Now i have seen what grace looks like

This time
You know this is real
When you're scared to reveal
This time
Could you leave this now
Even if you knew how
This time
Looking over your shoulder
You have become older
This time
Are you afraid to die

We had an intimate talk
With god you and i
Me with my words and you in silence
All you said was
I like that
But i saw jesus in your eyes

This time
You know this is real
When you have nothing more to reveal
This time
Would you leave this now
Even if you knew how
This time
Looking over your shoulder
You have become older
This time
You're not afraid to die

When I Remember Lyrics - Blindside

That boy is gone
Sometimes i miss the way he wept at night
To be still and not run
To be rocked to sleep in your light
These days there is not much that will bring tears to my eyes
But when i remember who i am and who you are
When i remember
A cloud moves in, rain falls, thunder strikes, and sunshine breaks through the clouds

I am walking blind
So distracted that i dont even feel when you hold me
When did i grow such thick skin
You are my sunshine and rain
My joy and sweet pain
I'm a spotless stain
That boy is gone
But nobody moves me like you do
When i remember

A cloud moves in, rain falls, thunder strikes
And sunshine breaks through the clouds
I can cry out of sorrow and joy
Every drop of rain turns into a crystal in the sun
So wash my eyes, my clothes, my skin, my bones, my soul
My feet, my love
I'm not forgotten
I'm in your thoughts cause i feel sunshine in the rain

To this day nobody moves
Nobody
Nobody moves me like you do

Eye Of The Storm Lyrics – Blindside

I think I've stayed for the last time, goodbye
Hope is so much closer to beauty than sorrow
I think I'll leave and leave self pity to die
Reflection is always brighter than shadow

Please come closer
Cause I don't even touch you anymore
Please see I'm walking in to the eye of the storm
And I'll still come out loving you even more

Love is in the air tonight
So just breathe

You made sure the atmosphere was thick tonight
So this is where it begins and where it ends
With a crack in a dark sky piercing light

Please come closer
Cause my heart doesn't touch yours anymore
Please see I'm walking into the eye of the storm
And I'll still come out loving you even more

Love is in the air tonight so just breathe
Breathe my spirit breathe
Love is in the air tonight so just breathe
Breathe my spirit breathe

leave, leave now and don't look back
leave, leave now and don't you look back

Please come closer
Cause I don't even touch you anymore

Please see I'm walking in to the eye of the storm
And I'll still come out loving you even more

Please come closer
Cause my heart doesn't touch yours anymore

Please see I'm walking in to the eye of the storm
And I'll still come out loving you even more

Follow You Down Lyrics – Blindside

It's the smallest things
That have a tendency to hurt for the longest time
It's like you found a way inside

But this time I'm not going to follow you down
I'll fall in love with the sound
(I'm not going to follow you down)
So push me back and I'll stay the same
(I'm not going to follow you down)
And fall in love with the sound of silence

I'm armed but the gun is not loaded
I guess I could find my way out of this
But it's like you found a way inside
And I hate that I suspect you're right

But this time I'm not going to follow you down
I'll fall in love with the sound
(I'm not going to follow you down)
So push me back and I'll stay the same
(I'm not going to follow you down)
And fall in love with the sound of silence

Silence is golden
but golden teeth are so much sharper
It's not easy but I'm biting my tongue off
It's not easy but I'm biting my tongue off
It's not easy but I'm biting my tongue off
It's not easy but I'm biting my tongue off

Even though you're right
Your words lie
Even though you're right
Your words lie

But this time I'm not going to follow you down
I'll fall in love with the sound
(I'm not going to follow you down)
So push me back and I'll stay the same
(I'm not going to follow you down)
And fall in love with the sound of silence

All Of Us Lyrics – Blindside

As soon as you stepped through my door,
I saw You for the first time all over again.
And time well spent seems
Lonelier than the way it used to go.

As I smell you for the first time all over again
I'll begin to remember to be alive
So if you don't mind
I think I'll wear my heart on my sleeve,
'Cause I'm tired of not being able to breathe.

All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark
When it's the same old word giving me the spark.
All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark

I've felt a loss for some time
I slipped, stumbled, but fell face first
straight into your hand.
Then I hit my head on your palm
And waking up to the smell
Of tears drying up in the sand

All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark
When it's the same old word giving me the spark.
All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark

I washed my wounds with tears of hope.
I washed my wounds with tears of hope.
I just ...

All of us are searching for an open arm
Well, it's a shame how I pull myself apart.
When it's the same words making me run for cover to your arms.

(All of us are searching for an open arm)
When it's the same words making me run for cover to your arms.
(All of us are searching for an open arm)
(All of us are searching for an open arm)

Shekina Lyrics – Blindside

Vattnet svart
Som mĂ¥nen full
Varm nattbris viskar
Att jag är naken och ny

Water black
As the moon is full
Warm nightbreeze whispers
I'm naked and new

I know you're always throwing kisses from the sky
Well, tonight I caught one
Sixteen years old
I dare to swim further out
I know you're always throwing kisses from the sky
Well, tonight I caught one

Som om man kunde
Vidröra lycka
Jag virar den runt mig
Som en filt
Det är bara Du, jag och mĂ¥nen

Like joy was something you could touch
I wrap it around me
Like a blanket
It's just you, me and the moon

I know you're always throwing kisses from the sky
Well, tonight I caught one
Sixteen years old
I dare to swim further out
I know you're always throwing kisses from the sky
Well, tonight I caught one

Hooray, It's L.A. Lyrics – Blindside (feat. Billy Corgan)

You and me we should get out of this town tonight
Cause everywhere I put my foot down
It's just another concrete block waiting for me

And it's a...
(dark cold night now)
And it's a...
(dark cold night)

My spirit is freezing to ice in this heat

Could you turn around and say
Hooray, it's a beautiful day L.A.
(yeah come on)
But now it's time
To pack your bags and go
Hooray it's a beautiful day L.A.
But I think I'll be gone today

I've been traveling at the speed of gasoline
And stopped by the color of electricity
We've been trying for too long
To cover up his fingerprints
From a distant past

And it's a...
(dark cold night now)
And it's a...
(dark cold night)

My spirit is freezing to ice in this heat

Could you turn around and say
Hooray, it's a beautiful day L.A.
(yeah come on)
But now it's time
To pack your bags and go
Hooray it's a beautiful day L.A.
But I think I'll be gone today

And it's a...
(damned cold night now)
And it's a...
(damned cold night now)
My spirit is freezing to ice in this heat

Could you turn around and say
Hooray, it's a beautiful day L.A.
(yeah come on)
But now it's time
To pack your bags and go
Hooray it's a beautiful day L.A.
But I think I'll be gone today

Swallow Lyrics – Blindside

Been waiting and now you're sinking slow
Been watching how you rated me low
You say water is supposed to be brown
I say there's garbage in the fountain
Yeah
Taste and swallow, swallow down
swallow down, swallow down
Yeah
Been wanted for thinking slow
Now you've been longing for an open window
Get out throw out
You're thirsty no doubt
Yeah
Taste and swallow, swallow down
swallow down, swallow down
swallow down, swallow down
Taste and swallow, swallow down
swallow down, swallow down
swallow down, swallow down
Taste and swallow, swallow down
swallow down, swallow it down

Die Buying Lyrics – Blindside

Tempting life
Won't come and beg for the last time
It's already ours we just came here to claim it
And we are not paying a dime
In the street you'll find us
Vulnerable but lit up like a cigarette
Celebarating thankxmas
Without a regret

Can't buy this freedom
With another slogan
With another lie

Can't buy this freedom
With another gadget
Buy or die

So what do you say, let's stay
And not run away
You can't buy this freedom
With another slogan
With another lie

Tempting lie
I feel like houseclimbing
Down the street
Newfound freedom
Making wings grow out of my feet
In these streets we live
In these streets we die
Fear is expensive
And freedom is so free that it's hard to buy

Can't buy this freedom
With another slogan
With another lie

Can't buy this freedom
With another gadget
Buy or die

So what do you say, let's stay
And not run away
You can't buy this freedom
With another slogan
With another lie

Yeah, Yeah

Can't buy this freedom
With another slogan
With another lie

Can't buy this freedom
With another gadget
Buy or die

So what do you say, let's stay
And not run away
You can't buy this freedom
With another slogan
With another lie

Across Waters Again Lyrics – Blindside

Waiting
How can someone so close
Be allowed to be so far away
Your red leaves fall in the evening
While Im waking up to smog these days
You know how I love when the sun touch my skin
But I still miss your thoughts on rain
So come and save me over the thin phoneline

Just one of those days
Where you learn to fly
WIth broken wings
My thoughts are on an airplane home
While my feet are still on the ground

Just one of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings

But you were never late
To pick up the phone and call
Now it's fall and I miss
Making love in the sunday afternoon sunlight
Wednesday, thursday
One down, a billion to go
With glasses foggy you're losing sight
So come and I'll sae you over this thin phoneline

One of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings
My thoughts are on an airplane home
While my feet are still on the ground
Just one of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings

One of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings
My thoughts are on an airplane home
While my feet are still on the ground
Just one of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings

After You're Gone Lyrics – Blindside

I could not lie
Skin untouched growing thicker for every step unwalked
And I don't know if it's the cold intention-slide
Taking me down

But what if you'd sing me alive
I'm ready to give up the fight
'Cause I'm just a stone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone

I could not lie
Even though dead skin like stone makes me ugly
It still pounds inside and it's red
And it's slipping through the grey cracks
And I know you know

But what if you'd sing me alive
I'm ready to give up the fight
'Cause I'm just a stone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone

But what if you'd sing me alive
I'm ready to give up the fight
Cause I'm just a stone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone

But what if you'd sing me alive
I'm ready to give up the fight
'Cause I'm just a stone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone

The first thing that meets the eye
When I crossover into the light
I want it to be you
Right after I'm gone
Right after I'm gone
Right after I'm gone

Where The Sun Never Dies Lyrics – Blindside

I think I saw a place in the distance
We've always known it was there
When I have breathed for the last time
I'll walk out to the end of that pier

There is that place in our conscience
So talk so loud so you won't hear and forget
But I'll still call it home
But I'll still call it home

Where the sun never dies
Shine away my shadow
Where it's bright when I shut my eyes
I'll drink until I'm not thirsty
The sun never dies
Shine away my shadow
It's just waiting to rise

I'll see you on that day
When I walk those last steps your way
There's something moving in the shadows
There is that rumor of hope
When the spirit starts roaring
For long we have but no longer will we cope
Love is personified
I'd rather die in love
Than stay alive numb

'Cause I'll still call it
I'm still longing home

Where the sun never dies
Shine away my shadow
Where it's bright when I shut my eyes
I'll drink until I'm not thirsty
The sun never dies
Shine away my shadow
It's just waiting to rise

I'll see you on that day
When I walk those last steps your way

Where the sun never dies
Shine away my shadow
Where it's bright when I shut my eyes
I'll drink until I'm not thirsty
The sun never dies
Shine away my shadow
It's just waiting to rise

I'll see you on that day
When I walk those last steps your way

I'll see you on that day
When I walk those last steps your way

Roads Lyrics – Blindside

Last night
Stopping by
Greeting me with an embracing bad breath
Five A.M.
you woke me out of a restless R.E.M.
I think it's time
To sober up and die

Now every little second is time
And every word seems to rhyme
I follow every word like streetlights
To make it home all right

Yeah

Now every little second just flies
I hold on to them like paradise
I follow every word like streetlights
I, I want to fall in love and leave tonight

Been riding in the sunset
Ignoring what follows after beauty
Fades to black now
Just riding in the sunset
Now this paralyzing cold
Always comes crawling back
I think it's time
To sober up and live

Now every little second is time
And every word seems to rhyme
I follow every word like streetlights
To make it home all right

Yeah

Now every little second just flies
I hold on to them like paradise
I follow every word like streetlights
I, I want to fall in love and leave tonight

Every little second is time
And every word seems to rhyme
I follow every word like streetlights
To make it home all right

Now every little second just flies
I hold on to them like pieces of paradise
I follow every word like streetlights
I, I want to fall in love and leave tonight

About A Burning Fire Lyrics – Blindside

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

It hurts
That drops of fire would fall so precise
And how everything else would lose its meaning
What a beautiful
What a painful surprise
There is no peace outside if there is nothing within
It hurts
But like coming home
Once dried up
I guess this is what you get
When a heart expands

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

Love is destructive
For the ego
And your voice is the only thing
That speaks rebelliously in this world of claiming your own
There is no peace outside if there's nothing within
Love is addictive
For the spirit
And your voice whispers with a roar
That fire rises up, refills
Place the right king on the throne

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

I thought about fire in the sky
I thought about fire
I thought about love burning in your eye
I thought about fire

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a love in fire
I thought about your love, yeah
I thought about your love

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a love in fire
I thought about your love
I thought about your love

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a love in fire
I thought about your love
I thought about your love

I thought about a burning fire
I thought about a burning fire
I thought about your love
I thought about your love

I thought about a love
I thought about love

Caught A Glimpse Lyrics - Blindside

What just happened?
The Hollywood Empire strikes back
And this time I am standing in their way
Now I Waited for so long
For this to come along
Now this beauty and beast is starring in my face
Still silent voice whispers 'stay'

(But in the crowd I)
Caught a glimpse of your eye
Everything freezes
I'm in an old photograph
I'm back from the start
Caught a glimpse of your eye
Everything freezes and I'm ready
To give you my heart

Mayday, mayday
Too many voices too much noise in my ear
Don't want to lose contact over this black ocean
Now you sing follow love
I'll be safe in devotion

(But in the crowd I)
Caught a glimpse of your eye
Everything freezes
I'm in an old photograph
I'm back from the start
Caught a glimpse of your eye
Everything freezes and I'm ready
To give you my heart

Pitiful Lyrics - Blindside

As I recall with my stomach turning
I was hiding away from myself, away from you
Like nothing, though something was terribly wrong
And I admit that I was only waiting for the right time
Night time, the right moment for you to look away
Though you never did, I pretended for a while
So I could walk where I don't belong

And I remember every word you said
Come back in time, come back
And I remember I would soon be dead
Now so pitiful, so pitiful

But I know as I hammered those nails into your beautiful hands
Your eyes still try to search for mine, but I look away
Now your eyes are the only thing that can save me
I'm still afraid of them piercing
You're breaking into my prison
Just pretended for a while
My soul is dying
I won't look away

And I remember every word you said...

I'll remember every word you said
This time I won't look away

Sleepwalking Lyrics - Blindside

Words so secure screaming like an alarm
Are you trying to wake me up
Now what was that you were trying to pull
Is it my arm
I do believe you're trying to wake me up

Now could it be maybe
It's not me sleeping
Could it be maybe you awakening

Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk in the light
Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk out of sight

Now here I am, but I'm just sleepwalking
Yes here I stand
But I guess I'm just sleeptalking for myself

Now could it be maybe
It's not me sleeping
Could it be maybe you awakening

Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk in the light
Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk out of sight

One day this world will see me at the horizon
One day from a distant light
And just before I stand to face my love
I'll turn around
And with a smile I'll say my goodbyes
Just one last goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Sleepwalk in the light
Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk out of sight

Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk in the light
Sleep this time tonight
Sleepwalk out of sight

Cute Boring Love Lyrics - Blindside

She said what I was supposed to think
Thank God for freedom
Thank God for liberation
(She said) Now we are allowed to think
Now we are allowed to feel lust without cute boring love

But don't you ever just like me
Long for purity
Don't you ever
Get sick of our territories

What are you so scared of sister
What made you so afraid to feel
To chose a stone cold liberation
The one thing I hate most about me
Is the one thing you want to make your trademark
To feel lust without cute boring love

But don't you ever just like me
Long for purity
Don't you ever
Get sick of our territories
Don't you ever feel like glass
Fragile, hurting, letting it pass
Don't you think it's time to trespass

But when the fire is gone
Who are you?
What are you so scared of sister?
I'm just as scared as you
