Don’t come apart before you really know which way to fall It's just a louder world now Every word must mean the most So speak up my dear, you’re mumbling Then she said, “Na na na na, na na na na na. Na na. Na na na na na.” Never gonna give you love It'll never fill you up Blame it on the night Blame it on the heat Blame it on the blah blah, someone, something Blame it on the night Blame it on the heat Blame it on the night Blame it on the heat Blame it on the blah blah, someone, something Throw it on the fire Throw it on the heap Sorry, but you seemed alright Go back and you tell them what it is you're missing Always a star so bright I'll keep digging, digging for the best in you, my baby No really, you seemed alright Never gonna give you love It'll never fill you up Blame it on the night Blame it on the heat Blame it on the blah blah, someone, something Blame it on the night Blame it on the heat Blame it on the night Blame it on the heat Blame it on the blah blah, someone, something Throw it on the fire Throw it in a heap

Diamond Eyes 03:49
Rise and wake to work the wheels Always with a pull and pushing I’m a slave to my own needs What I need is to weld my words into stars that shimmer Warm. Quiet streets now breathing Heavy. Dreams we carry Easy. When the end comes, let them run Diamond eyes along the inner wave I’m the Queen of the moral victory How many more til I’m your Queen? I’ve been waiting for so long Another day to prove you’re happy Another day to make you proud Another day to battle darkness One more day to work your way Inside stars that silver’s born It’s quiet as the desert sands A rose that’s bred without it’s thorns When the end comes just let it run Diamond eyes along the inner wave I’m the Queen of the moral victory How many more til I’m your Queen? I’ve been waiting for so long You’ve been taking oh so long And I keep waiting.

Isosceles 04:22
Yea. Aw, yea We talked for hours She told me everything I needed to hear We went for pleasures The aftermath came spilling out in the mirror Yea. Aw, yea I think I'm falling The first line before everything went to hell She asked for distance Beyond/Before the rest of it all goes clear Feel the fields of rolling green. Electric. Home. Hear the lazy lilting leaves. Laughing. Song. Breathe eclectic scenes. Isosceles. Hear. Na na na na na na na Hear. Na na na na na na na I think I'm falling The first line before everything went to hell She asked for distance Beyond/Before the rest of it all goes clear Feel the fields of rolling green. Electric. Home. Hear the lazy lilting leaves. Laughing. Song. Breathe eclectic scenes. Isosceles.

I don’t want to feel no body pressing onto mine. I can’t hear a heartbeat loud enough. Laying on the ground, laying on the ground I can’t breathe. Let me hear that you want it. I don’t want to feel no body pressing onto mine. I can’t hear a heartbeat loud enough. Lay it on the line, lay it on the line Time’s up, creep. Let me hear that you want it.

They forgot to put your mention in the papers Maybe when I heard the whisper of your name I turned away Every day the strangest faces get familiar With reluctance I say goodbye to the surprise There’s no time now for talk we’re at war Go on and even out the score I’ve lost the count They don’t even fly em out Don’t even fly em at half mast anymore Keep on preying on the good will of your neighbor Keep on playing with an open flame You’re good, either way Every second there’s a story that’s just ended Every second there’s a new one playing out. And another And another And another There’s no time now for talk we’re at war Go on and even out the score I’ve lost the count They don’t even fly em out Don’t even fly em ou at half mast anymore Fourteen thousand empty sneakers at the doorway to a silent chamber Fourteen thousand empty sneakers loaded down with heavy shiny reasons There’s no time now for talk we’re at war go on and even out the score I’ve lost the count You’ve lost count Then we lose out They don’t even fly em out at half mast anymore

Are we almost near the night, where roles are clear? You naive pioneer. Love is leisure, dear. Follow or lead or give up or give over or Leader, follower, ya both getting used I’m not either, out here all alone I really liked the feeling Of how you worked me over And ya left me reeling When you had me bite down on your shoulders Those bruises, deeper than I ever did see Say you gonna need this when you’re older Today’s the oldest that I have ever been Follow or lead or give up or give over or Leader, follower, ya both getting used Are we almost near the night, where roles are clear? You Naive pioneer. Love is leisure Best kept secret Go Here Run Kneel Run Here Run Kneel Run Here
