Look to Windward

Verse
Will you listen just as my form starts to fission?Losing this war of attrition just as I drift away
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?

Verse
With the shadows longer to me than a light-year
Moving so slow, I could die here
Say you can hear me say
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?

Verse
Now I know why I woke up here on the shoreline
Coughing up blood in the twilight
Everything looks the same
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?

Verse
I′ve got eyelids heavy enough to break diamonds
You pray for sound and I pray for silence
Damn right faithless, I can't deny
You′ll find me with half a mind to get violent
Oh, it isn't over 'til I say it′s over
And oh, my little angel sitting on my shoulder
So give me the edge of a blade and a time and a place
And I′ll leave them cold and pushing up boulders
Am I walking with gods or merely stumbling forth?
Until there's fire at the gates, until I fall to the floor
You know I live by the feather and die by the sword
And I will sunder the earth, only to burn the rewards
Even in this garden of gardens, I am the god of the gaps
I am the demon of Sodom, I am the blood of an angel
The fate of the fallen, nobody knows where I came from
Even I have forgotten
How can I already lose my way like this?
Drowning in burning bright abyss
Even at stratospheric depths
This vertigo of bliss

Bridge
Oh, and I
I used to know myself
Oh, and you
You used to know me well
Oh, and I
I wish that I could leave myself alone
Oh, and you
You wish that you could make me whole

Chorus
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?

Outro
In me!

Emergence

Verse
Well, you were laid in verse, living on a promised word
Well, I am the rose you relinquished again
You and I are down headfirst in another world, I heard
I have a feeling we′re close to the end

Chorus
So come on, come on
Out from underneath who you were
Come on, come on now
You know that it's time to emerge

So go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah (huh, whoo)

Verse
Are you carbide on my nano, red glass on my lightbulb
Dark light on my culture, sapphire on my white gold?
Burst out of my chest and hide out in the vents
My blood beats so alive, might bite right through your lens (huh, whoo)
It′s midnight in my mind's eye, drowning out the daylight
Godspeed to my enemies who've been asking for that call sign
You know the behaviour, canines of the saviour
Glory to the legion, trauma for the neighbours

So go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me (huh, whoo)

Verse
I′ve got solar flares for your dead gods, space dust for your fuel rods
Dark days for your solstice, dancing through the depths of
Hellfire, on the winds that started from within
My blood beats so alive, might tear right through my skin (huh, whoo)
So tell me what you meant by "living past your half-life"
In lockstep with the universe, and you′re well-versed in the afterlife
You know that I'm sanctified by what′s below
No matter what you do, no matter where you go

Bridge
You might be the one to take away the pain and let my mind go quiet
And nothing else is quite the same as how I feel when I'm at your side

Chorus
Come on, come on
Out from underneath who you were
Come on, come on now
You know that it′s time to emerge

Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me (huh, whoo)

Outro
And you might be the one to take away the pain and let my mind go quiet
And nothing else is quite the same as how I feel when I'm at your side

Past Life

Chorus
Well, are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it′s not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same and some things have to change now
Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it′s not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same and some things have to change now, now, now

Verse
Clawed out of my woodwork
Bolts out of my blue depths
In and out of my dreamscapes
People acting different
One look at my past self
Double take on my cash flow
Apologizing for shit that frankly
I stopped thinking of years ago
And you know I deliberate on cutting out the demons
I still need a dark side, they just need a reason
The passage of the hours into rushing through the seasons
Falling through my mind with the leaves on the trees, so

Pre-chorus
Keep me alive, keep me believing
That now is the time to take it or leave it
Gave away all my blessings
Lift off, weightless
Torn apart by the true believers that turned out to be faithless

Chorus
Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it's not a game or a fantasy
And I don′t even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same and some things have to change now
Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it′s not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same and some things have to change now, now, now

Verse
Are you the guardian angel hacking into my brain cells?
Stepping up from my future, uploading my true self
Did I get this far for nothing, or are you the reward?
Guarding hounds in this hell house, opening new door

Pre-chorus
If this is love, then I am out of hesitation
Head over heels or elevation
Walking an inch above the pavement
Taking it stride by stride together
If this is real, then I am all up in a frenzy
Not like before when I was empty
Say that the story we tell is never-ending
Taking it side by side together (side by side together)

Chorus
Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it′s not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same and some things have to change now
Are you gonna dance on the line with me?
You know it′s not a game or a fantasy
And I don't even know who I used to be
But nothing is the same and some things have to change now, now, now

Outro
Lost again
I just don′t want to be lost again
I just don't want to be lost again
I just don't want to be lost again
I just don′t want to be lost again

Dangerous

Verse
I wish I could have known that
Look in your eyes would echo in mine and go back
Out of my mind, across the line
When was the last time I felt like this?
Dark desire and tainted bliss

Chorus
It′s like you're dangerous to me
I notice every time we meet
I feel the ground beneath my feet
Giving way
You′ve got me talking in my sleep
As if you're conquering my dreams
You have awakened what's beneath
Again

Verse
Well, I thought I could resist you
But something in me just can′t help but insist
To blur the lines just one last time so
When′s the last time you tasted blood?
And what will it take to stem the flood?
And I am caught in time
Like clockwork beneath the permafrost
I might lose my mind
Back to back with oblivion
And you might breathe that burning breeze through
Paradise for me

Chorus
It's like you′re dangerous to me
I notice every time we meet
I feel the ground beneath my feet
Giving way
You've got me talking in my sleep
As if you′re conquering my dreams
You have awakened what's beneath
Again

Outro
Won′t you show me how to dance forever? (Forever)
Won't you show me how to dance forever?
Won't you show me how to dance forever?

Caramel

Verse
Count me out like sovereigns, payback for the good times
Right foot in the roses, left foot on a landmine
I′m not gonna be there tripping on the grapevine
They can sing the words while I cry into the bassline
Wear me out like Prada, devil in my detail
I swear it's getting harder even just to exhale
Backed up into corners, bitter in the lens
I′m sick of trying to hide it every time they take mine

Chorus
So stick to me
Stick to me like caramel
Walk beside me 'til you feel nothin' as well

Verse
They ask me, "Is it goin′ good in the garden?"
Say, "I′m lost, but I beg no pardon"
Up on the dice, but low on the cards, I try not to talk about how it's harder now
Can I get a mirror side-stage? Looking sideways at my own visage, gettin′ worse
Every time they try to shout my real name just to get a rise from me
Acting like I'm never stressed out by the hearsay
I guess that′s what I get for trying to hide in the limelight
Guess that's what I get for having 20-20 hindsight
Everybody wants eyes on ′em, I just wanna hear you sing that top line

Pre-chorus
And if you don't think I mean it, then I understand
But I'm still glad you came, so let me see those hands

Chorus
So stick to me
Stick to me like caramel
Walk beside me ′til you feel nothin′ as well
I'm fallin′ free of the final parallel
The sweetest dreams are bitter
But there's no one left to tell

Bridge
Too young to get bitter over it all
Too old to retaliate like before
Too blessed to be caught ungrateful, I know
So I′ll keep dancin' along to the rhythm
This stage is a prison, a beautiful nightmare (too young to get bitter over it all)
A war of attrition, I′ll take what I'm given (too old to retaliate like before)
The deepest incisions, I thought I got better (too blessed to be caught ungrateful, I know)
But maybe I didn't

Verse
(In these days of days) tell me, did I give you what you came for?
(I wish it all away) terrified to answer my own front door
(I thought things had changed) missin′ my wings in a realm of angels
(But everything′s the same)

Outro
So I'll keep dancin′ along to the rhythm
This stage is a prison, a beautiful nightmare
A war of attrition, I'll take what I′m given
The deepest incisions, I thought I got better
But maybe I didn't

Even in arcadia

Verse
Come now, swing wide those gates
′Cause I have paid my penance kindly well in time for judgment day
Somehow I knew my fate
Turns out the gods we thought were dyin' were just sharpening their blades

Chorus
Have you been waitin′ long
For me?

Verse
I am the final dawn, I am the flood
And what was missin' from those scriptures will be written in my blood
Dig down into the mud
What good is all this talk of wings when there is nothing left above?

Chorus
Have you been waitin' long
For me?
Have you been waitin′ long?

Verse
No matter how we feel
We′ve got a taste for one another and a few good years to kill
No matter what is real
It seems that even in Arcadia you walk beside me still

Chorus
Have you been waitin' long
For me?
Have you been waitin′ long
For me?

Provider

Verse
I wanna be your provider
Garner you in silk like a spider
Roll a die, you bet, I′m a rider
Your outer shell, your secret insider
I wanna be your provider
Your guiding hand, your final decider
That bit of fuel to your fire, stoke your desire
Just let me know that you're mine
I wanna be your provider

Hook
I wanna be your provider
Yeah-yeah-yeah
I wanna be your provider
Yeah-yeah-yeah

Verse
I want to delineate
Though the last time we were around each other
I found myself hesitating
But I know I would not now, my lover
Crawled up on you, do I wanna go there? Yes, I do
I wanna do more than just bend the rules
But you been hittin′ my phone so hard
I found it breathin' through a tube in the ICU
Yeah, I see you, the only bad baddy spinning eyes in the room
The only good girl in this side of the moon
You're the only game that I like to lose

Bridge
When you look at me like that, got me fallin′ right back
Oh, when you look at me like that, got me fallin′ right back

Chorus
And your fingers foxtrot on my skin
I'm going under this time
I can give you what you want

Verse
And our bodies converse like old friends
Exchangin′ the years in silence
With something unsaid on both ends
Surely we know the difference
I wanna be your provider
Garner you in silk like a spider
Roll a die, you bet, I'm a rider
Your outer shell, your secret insider

Chorus
And your fingers, foxtrot on my skin
I′m going under this time
I can give you what you want
And I told you, I can get it so right
Even in the daylight, I can give you what you want

Outro
I can give you what you want
I can give you what you want
I can give you what you want
I can give you what-

Damocles

Verse
Well, I′ve been waking up under blades, blue blossom days
If only Damocles would hit me back
No alabaster carvings or faces on a farthing
Would prevent my head from fading to black

Pre-chorus
And it feels like falling into the sea
From outer space in seconds to me
And I play discordant days on repeat
Until they look like harmony

Chorus
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Come up for air and choke on it all
No one else knows that I′ve got a problem
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
What if the diamond days are all gone, and
Who will I be when the empire falls?
Wake up alone, and I'll be forgotten

Verse
Well, I know I should be touring, I know these chords are boring
But I can′t always be killing the game
No golden grand pianos or voices from the shadows
Will do anything but feel the same

Pre-chorus
And it feels like falling into the deep
From somewhere way up over the peaks
And I play discordant days on repeat
Until the tape runs out on me

Chorus
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
How will I know if I can′t see the bottom?
Come up for air and choke on it all
No one else knows that I've got a problem
What if I can′t get up and stand tall?
What if the diamond days are all gone, and
Who will I be when the empire falls?
Wake up alone, and I'll be forgotten

Bridge
And nobody told me I′d be begging for relief
When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me
Well, nobody told me I′d get tired of myself
When it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell

Chorus
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Come up for air and choke on it all
No one else knows that I've got a problem
What if I can′t get up and stand tall?
What if the diamond days are all gone, and
Who will I be when the empire falls?
Wake up alone, and I′ll be forgotten

Gethsemane

Intro
I wanted you to know, I′ve learned to live without it
And even though it's colder now, I no longer feel surrounded
And you never listened to me, and that′s the thing I tell the others
You were my harlequin bride, I was your undercover lover, but no
You never saw me naked, you wouldn't even touch me
Except if you were wasted
But you were trying your best, and that's the thing I tell the others
I was your robot companion, you were my favourite colour, and, oh

Verse
And I′m caught up on the person I tried to turn myself into for you
Someone who didn′t mind the push-pull parlour games
Someone who wasn't always cryin′ on the journey back
Someone who didn't feel the low blows either way
Thought I was waitin′ for you, when all along
It was you with the countdown kill switch
And it was me with the blindfold on

Pre-chorus
And I was tryin' my best, and that′s the thing I tell the mirror
I was in love with the thought that we were in love with each other

Chorus
What might be good for your heart
Might not be good for my head
And what was there at the start
Might not be there in the end

Do you wanna hurt me?
Do you wanna hurt me?
'Cause nobody hurts me better
Do you wanna hurt me?
Do you wanna hurt me?
'Cause nobody hurts me better

Bridge
Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke
We used to be a team, now we let each other go, yeah
Your cigarette ash still clingin′ to my clothes
I don′t wanna stick around, I just wanna let you know
Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke
We used to be a team, now we let each other go, yeah
Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes
I don't wanna stick around, I just wanna let you know
Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke
We used to be a team, now we let each other go, yeah
Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes
I don′t wanna stick around, I just wanna let you know
Came in like a dream, put it down like a smoke
We used to be a team, now we let each other go, yeah
Your cigarette ash still clinging to my clothes
I don't wanna stick around

Outro
No one′s gonna save me from my memories
Nothing to lose, but I would've given anythin′
To get closer to you and all your enemies
I've got a few of my own
And this throne didn't come with a gun, so I got a different energy
I still see you when the lights get low
I still hear you when I′m on my own
The parasites and the nightmares calling my name like, "Please just let me go"
This one′s for you and your problems, your good day job
Your bad karma, what are you afraid of?
The same trauma, show me what you're made of
′Cause you talk about your constant pain like I ain't got none
And I′ve learned to live beside it, and even though it's over now
I will always be reminded

Infinite Baths

Verse
When you plucked me from the grotto
Silent like a supermodel
When I would wake in staccato
No lightning in a bottle, just
One eye on the target
And two bricks on the throttle
I know now
That even if I am frozen
Timeless as a ghost in my
Nightmares of the ocean
The precipice I′m approaching
Well, you will empty the darkness
You will keep me in motion
I know now

Chorus
Infinite baths
Washing over me at last
Are you the method in my madness?
Are you the glory in my wrath?
Infinite baths
Bursting colours when you laugh
Well, I have fought so long to be here
I am never going back

Verse
Even if I'm on my own
When the silence is deafening
I could be stuck here alone
When even my future is threatening
Something is lifting the bones
Something is dancing in revelry
Wider than oceans below
Taller than titans on box springs
And the waters are warm
Where they used to run freezing
Where there used to be storms
My horizon is fleeting
I′m so tired inside
I could sleep through a landslide
But I'm finally here
And I'm not leaving this time

Chorus
Infinite baths
Washing over me at last
Are you the method in my madness?
Are you the glory in my wrath?
Infinite baths
Bursting colours when you laugh
I′ve been running since I got here
But now I′m falling into
Infinite baths

Bridge
Drift with me
Drift with me
Drift with me
Drift with me

Outro
All this glory you did not earn
Every lesson you did not learn
You will drown in an endless sea
If it's blood that you want from me
You can empty my arteries
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
Will you halt this eclipse in me?
In me?
Teeth of God
Blood of man
I will be
What I am
