Lyrics

1. SLEEP UNDERGROUND (DEMO)

You play that role for years
there's nothing else
But you don't need your ears
to listen to yourself
Don't talk back,
Keep your lips closed tight
Sleep underground tonight
Sleep underground tonight

If you were meant to save me
(Sleep underground tonight)
If you were meant to save me then I didn't realize til now

This is just for you and I alone
This is just for you and I alone
This is just for you and I alone
This is just for you and I alone
Sleep underground tonight
Sleep underground tonight
This is just for you and I


2. STARE LIKE YOU'LL STAY

We believe to fully understand you
you must step inside
For all the reasons we can think to hate you
we want to make it right

Can't you see that everybody goes through the same thing
at different times
And all the ways that you can say we're different
you're wrong, we're alike

Just say you'll keep your eye on everyone

Take a last long look at where you are
Allowance received and I can't believe
there's anything like this
'Cause if you're half as good as you say you are
then you can prove it

Stare like you'll stay alive
if you stare like you're there

We believe to fully understand you
you must step inside
For all the reasons we can think to hate you
we want to make it right

Just say you'll keep your mind on everyone

Take a last long look at where you are
Allowance received and I can't believe
there's anything like this
'Cause if you're half as good as you say you are

Then you can prove anything to us
then you can show us how it's done
so we can show it to everyone
if you stay alive

Stare like you'll stay alive
if you stare like you're there

Stare like you'll stay alive
(we believe to fully understand you, you must step inside)
if you stare like you're there
(we believe to fully understand you, you must make it right)


3. EVERY WAY

I would find a different way to say
You're gonna have to change everything you've made
You're gonna have to reword every metaphor you'd use
So that people who are hearing aren't confused

If that's the most important thing you do
Detail every ounce of pain that you went through
Make sure you leave something down to show the way back
Make sure you leave something down to show the way back

Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Inaccurate and inprecise
There is no gift without a price

I'm so mistaken, lost my direction
My souls been shaken

I would find a different way to go
There's no signs in life to guide you on that road
And if it's the most important thing you'll say
Make sure they understand

Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
Inaccurate and inprecise
There is no gift without a price

Every way you wonder if you're wrong
(I'm so mistaken)
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
(lost my direction)
Every way you wonder
Every way you wonder
(my soul's been shaken)
Every way you wonder if you're wrong
you are


4. BACKMASK

Don't know why so much confusion
needs to be obsessed about
Under the mountain, the seeds depression
watch it disappear

Don't remind me again
It's already written

Distance always seems familiar
Nothing here can change without
listening carefully for your queue
to exchange the other lines

Late at night and call to us
building nesting in our skulls
so it can rest conveniently
conserving all the energy it takes
lower your head and take some
time to feel the sound
Surrender expectations
It's not just an explanation that we've found

Don't remind me again
It's already written
and nothing's only alive
it's already been given

Don't know why so much confusion
needs to be obsessed about
Under the mountain, the seeds depression
watch it disappear

Late at night and call to us
building nesting in our skulls
so it can rest conveniently
conserving all the energy it takes
lower your head and take some
time to feel the sound
Surrender expectations
It's not just an explanation that we've found

There's no need
There's no need to force it down
There's no need to force it down
I just need
I just need to make a sound
There's no need
There's no need to force it down
There's no need
I just want
I just want
I just wanna make a sound

There's no need
no need to force it down


5. LAZARUS

Anything that happened when I was young
it came so measly
now all of those things are haunting me
and nothing will calm

I won't be offended if no one sees
I just wanna know what that'll mean

When I'm alone I make believe that
I'm in a different time and place where
nobody wants to know my name
and no one will recognize my face
Anything that I did way back when
it seems so long ago
Might as well have all been by accident
I've nothing left to show

I wont be offended if no one stays
I'll just blame it all on my old age

When I'm alone I make believe that
I'm in a different time and place where
nobody wants to know my name and
no one will recognize my face

2am, I'm thinking about how lucky I've been
I need to take a moment to myself
6am, I'm thinking about how lonely I've been
I need to take a moment to myself

We are alone [repeat]
