Who would know
all the reasons you're alone
if the seeds were planted firm my dear
would the banshees tear it all apart

I'll tell you a secret
let's make this perfectly clear
there's no secrets this year
I'll tell you a secret
I'll make it perfectly clear
there's no secrets this year
so your hearts blown open
consider with your ear
we are still sincere
I'll tell you a secret
let's make this perfectly clear
there's no secrets this year

too late little one
I'm on the run
you think I'm having all the fun
I don't mind
I'm still here
everything seems perfect from down here
that's the reason you still fear
if the screams are buried oh my God
you'll let the record shake it all apart

I'll tell you a secret
let's make this perfectly clear
there's no secrets this year
I'll tell you a secret
I'll make it perfectly clear
there's no secrets this year
so your hearts blown open
consider with your ear
we are still sincere
I'll tell you a secret
let's make this perfectly clear
there's no secrets this year

Lay your head down at your feet
I'll blow you kisses while you sleep
and when I know you're safe and dreaming
my escape plans in full swing

(solo)

who would know
all the reasons you're a bore
if the seeds were planted firm right here
let the banshees tear it all apart

I'll tell you a secret
let's make this perfectly clear
there's no secrets this year
I'll tell you a secret
I'll make it perfectly clear
there's no secrets this year
so your hearts blown open
consider with your ear
we are still sincere
I'll tell you a secret
let's make this perfectly clear
there's no secrets this year
there's no secrets this year
there's no secrets this year

Better make sure
Better make sure you're looking closely
before you fall into your Swoon

. . .


We are ready for the siege
We are armed up to the teeth
Be careful how you live and breathe
Release what's broken underneath

How many times do you wanna die?
How many ways do you wanna die?

Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
Very carefully look over your shoulder

We can laugh about it now
We hope everything works out
Be careful how you lick your wounds
Believe that change is coming soon

How many times do you wanna die?
How many ways do you wanna die?

Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
Very carefully look over your shoulder

You used to do a little, but a little won't fly
Right before you hit your prime
That's when we fell in love, but not the first time

Can I please you still?
Remain in your father's will
Or does it make you ill?

Let us bruise their knees
We went in straight for a defeat
You will be relieved

So relieved, so relieved to the flow, and desire
Bitter sparks to the friendly fire
Misery inspires

Your throwin' me cuts several times before
Never noticed the size of the flow
Make it be ignored

Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
Carefully look over your shoulder

You said you believe, but believing won't fly
Right before you hit your prime
That's when we fell in love, but not the first time

And when it's all over and you open your eyes
You see the room turned on its side
And you'll be lying down and over on the floor; signed,

The Royal We (x8)
Love The Royal We

. . .


So we all
Are growing old
And it's getting old

Pressure on
Our hollow bones
and the (varicose)?

Suddenly
We decompose
But we're not alone

So we all
Are growing old

Maybe we're sealed in silence
And maybe we feel a guidance
Maybe your own devices
Will keep you afraid and cold
But i

Memorized
Your smile lines
From left to right

(Candlelight)?
And childlike
Reaction time

We're allowed
To expire
-------------?

So we all
Are growing old

Pull out the fear of silence
And put out the need for guidance
And put out your own devices
And don't be afraid of the cold

And we sing, sing, sing.
Fight, we fight, fight.
We cry, cry, cry.
We slide, slide, we slide into the light.

We sing, fight, we cry.
we slide, slide, we slide into the light.

Maybe we're sealed in silence
And maybe we feel a guidance
Maybe your own devices
Will keep you afraid and cold, well.

Pull out the fear of silence
Put out the need for guidance
Put out your own devices
And don't be afraid of the cold
Afraid of the cold
Afraid of the time
You've got no where to go but here.

. . .


It's the beauty of confession
In the sound when the levees break
And all the air is wrong, wrong
Redesigning a connection
A composition painted on my face
With a smile drawn on, on

Sit back and breathe
It's nice to know you work alone
My head is reeling
It's nice to know you work alone
It's nice to know you work alone

Disembody the move action
With water marks on a pillowcase
With all the nerves turned on, on
Overriding the obsession
To take it all and be on my way
Dragging the lead along, along

Sit back and breathe
It's nice to know you work alone
My head is reeling
It's nice to know you work alone
It's nice to know you work alone

But all the grace is gone, gone
And all the tired scorn is gone
And all the fire is gone, gone
But the reveal is gone, it's gone

Sit back and breathe
It's nice to know you work alone
My head is reeling
It's nice to know you work alone
It's nice to know you work alone

Reaching the serene
It's nice to know you work alone
My head's stopped reeling
It's nice to know you work alone
It's nice to know you work alone
It's nice to know you work alone
It's nice to know you work alone

. . .


Time
It's not worth my time
Moonshine
Bleeds into my eyes

I still
Sleep on the right side
Of the white noise
Can't leave the scene behind

Could I be anything you want me to be
And show me the way to be seen

[Chorus]
Do you see yourself in a crowded room?
Do you think I'll snitch? Are you pistol-whipped?
Do you step in line or release the glitch?
Can you fall asleep with a panic switch?

When you see yourself in a crowded room,
Do you think I'll snitch? Are you pistol whipped?
Do you step in line or release the glitch?
Do you think she'll sleep with a panic?

And I'll try to hold on tight tonight.
Pink slip, inviting me inside.
I want to burn skin and brand what once was mine,
But the red news came ripping in to fight.

If I go anywhere that you want me to go,
How do I know you'll still follow?

[Chorus]

I'm waiting and fading and floating away
I'm waiting and fading and floating away
I'm waiting and fading and floating away
I'm waiting and fading and floating away

I'm waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and flailing and fading

[Chorus]

. . .


you ask me to be stone again,
been waiting out here for a while,
at least the wait could be the end,
but not likely,

and it's draining,
and it's draining,

you see my shadow coming in,
dirty sheets pulled to your chin,
well maybe now we can be kin,
but not likely,

and it's draining,
and it's draining,
we're evading,
and it's draining,

you asked me before,
you asked me to consider operating,
we've been here before,
we've been here the delivery is no good,

we'll leave it alone,
we're leaving thats where we start repeating,

dont ask anymore,
dont ask me the delivery is no good,

and it's draining,
and it's draining,
we're evading,
and it's draining,

and it's draining,
and it's draining.

. . .


Do you think I'm sort of alive?
Should I set these motives aside?
Do I feel? Well sort of, but not
When you walk your body through mine

What's keeping my tongue tied?
I see when you roll your eyes
I swear any moment you will hear
My spirit explode

When there's fire on the ground
Should it turn my whole world around?
When the wheel's in the lake
Should I think it's a big mistake?
When there's smoke in the sky
Please wake me, I don't know why
When your hand stretches out
Is it way beyond, way beyond my reach?

Do you think it's sort of a crutch
When you try to rule me to touch
Do I shake? Well sort of, but not much
When the shades are summoned and crushed

What's keeping my tongue tied?
I see when you roll your eyes
I swear any moment you will hear
My spirit explode

When there's fire on the ground
Should it turn my whole world around?
When the wheel's in the lake
Should I think it's a big mistake?
When there's smoke in the sky
Please wake me, I don't know why
When your hand stretches out
Is it way beyond, way beyond my reach?

Reach
Keep reaching
For me
Does it make you nervous
When you hear my bones
Animate my body
Without my soul?

What's keeping my tongue tied?
I see when you roll your eyes
I swear any moment you will hear
My spirit explode

When there's fire on the ground
Should it turn my whole world around?
When the wheel's in the lake
Should I think it's a big mistake?
When there's smoke in the sky
Please wake me, I don't know why
When your hand stretches out
Is it way beyond, way beyond my reach?

. . .


There's a vulture perching right off screen
And it's bitter and whispers chaotic things
And it reached in quick ain't it worrying
It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, stop listening

I know you've heard it before
But then it wasn't enough
You don't wanna be held back from the substitution
I know you've seen this before
And now enough is too much
You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes
I'm sorry

You're a marionette in the center of
All the twisting strings coming from above
It may seem too deep to recover from
It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, just let it go

I know you've heard it before
But then it wasn't enough
You don't wanna be held back from the substitution
I know you've seen this before
And now enough is too much
You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

When the voices start spinning just be aware
I have brought enough stones for us to share
That one's grinning that one's burning, aim for the throat
Let him choke on the stones that we are to throw

It's the great downfall
Not the overthrow
If you shoot them down
It'll make you soar

When reactions turn into hurricanes
And the middle course seems a little tame
Whether full or empty it's all the same
It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, you're not to blame

I know you've heard it before
But then it wasn't enough
You don't wanna be held back from the substitution
I know you've seen this before
but now enough is too much
You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes
I'm sorry

. . .


Part of me
Want to live in a fantasy
Quietly
Show you everything you’ll ever need
I hope you’ll take it
I know you’re faking just a little bit
Come on and taste it
Just get excited cuz you’re giving in

Come and see
How the wind in your hair will feel differently
Catch and release
The lure above

Who…

Here we are
In the bathwater overflow
Later on
Don’t say I didn’t tell you so
Maybe I didn’t but you’re taking it
Knew you were faking just a little bit
Now that you’ll taste it
No need to fight it cuz you’re giving in

Follow me
Down the streams of sweat on your body
Can’t believe
The lure was enough

Do you see?
How the wind in your hair now feels differently
Catch and release
The lure above
Who knows?
How this feeling grows?
Was it truly worth –
Truly worth the starting
Who knows?
Why the engine’s blown
Hope it's truly worth –
Truly worth the parting

Follow me
Down the streams of sweat on your body
Can’t believe
The lure was enough
Do you see?
How the wind in your hair now feels differently
Catch and release the lure above

Guess the lure was enough
Yes the lure was enough
Yes the lure was enough

. . .


Remember when you were the hunted
Remember how I swallowed you in
Remember the rewards shimmering on the floor
Off the plastic chandelier

Remember when I saw you in orbit
Remember when I pulled you back in
Remember looking on blinking into the dawn
Thinking how this will never end

Surrounded
Let's romanticize our beloved memories
Surrounded
Let's demonize our softest injuries
Surrounded
Can we get behind distortion and liberties
Surrounded
We're surrounded, spiraling

Remember when I played assassin
Remember when my joking turned grim
Remember how we thought if we followed the dots
It would stop all the accidents

Remember when you broke my halo
Remember how I tied your wings in
Remember how we slipped all the lies we equipped
Just to bring back the goods again

Surrounded
Let's romanticize our beloved memories
Surrounded
Let's demonize our softest injuries
Surrounded
Can we get behind distortion and liberties
Surrounded
We're surrounded, spiraling

Is it perfect in our little hell
Are you dancing or stumbling beside me
Well this might not be
We'll just wait and see

So now that we've stopped hearing echoes
And now that the replay wore thin
Just remember who held you

Surrounded
Let's romanticize our beloved memories
Surrounded
Let's demonize our softest injuries
Surrounded
Can we get behind distortion and liberties
Surrounded
We're surrounded, spiraling

Is it perfect in our little hell
