Lyrics:
Maybe death is like heaven
Maybe death is hell
Maybe death is nothing but absence
Maybe death is love
Maybe death is being born again
Maybe death is just the beginning
Just the beginning x1

Time goes by in an instance
Life goes by in an instance
Time goes by in an instance
La da da da, la da da da (repeat x1)

Death Like Heaven

Cover me
Cover me
Come for me
Come for me
Cover me
Cover me
Come for me
Come for me

I had a dream no longer to be free
I want only to see four walls made of concrete
Six by six enclosed
See me on video

Feed me twice a day
I want to fade away

Cover me
Cover me
Come for me
Come for me
Cover me
Cover me
Come for me
Come for me

And after some time, I know I would go blind
But seeing only binds
The vision to the eye
I’ll lose my voice, I know
But I have nothing left to say
Nothing left to pray
No echo in this space


Agoraphobia (Deerhunter Cover)

How can I trust you when you don't trust yourself?
Your heart is still beating but it beats for someone else
A lie is a lie is a fib
Take it to the grave, you sad spineless kid

I can smell her all over your sheets
Strands of red hair and lipstick streaks
And when you're exposed the next time we meet
I'll watch you soak in your puddle of defeat

Slip off my tongue and down my throat
Oh how I wish I had never spoken
Slither through my skin
Make me feel alive again

Cut from the same cloth
A seething lie once lost
Has found its way back to the surface
Straight from the mouth of a spineless person

How can I trust you when you don't trust yourself?
Your heart is still beating but it beats for someone else
A lie is a lie is a fib
Take it to the grave, you sad spineless kid

I can smell her all over your sheets
Strands of red hair and lipstick streaks
And when you're exposed the next time we meet
I'll watch you soak in your puddle of defeat


Spineless

Hello, I thought you would go
To a place far away from home
and I'd never get to speak my peace
Hello, please don't go
I'd love to show you the way home

That renaissance man
Never felt guilt for his pleasure
That renaissance man
Took pride in all his treasures
That renaissance man
Always lived with careless measure
That renaissance man
Relished in his endeavors

Fire flows freely
Fall far away from me
You won't need any rescuing
After all, the one who falls
Creates a new beginning

That renaissance man
Never felt guilt for his pleasure
That renaissance man
Took pride in all his treasures
That renaissance man
Always lived with careless measure
That renaissance man
Relished in his endeavors

Tucked inside a vat of lies
Your trust and faith; they will subside
But still, you, you really tried
You almost made it out alive (repeat x2)

That renaissance man
Never felt guilt for his pleasure
That renaissance man
Took pride in all his treasures
That renaissance man
Always lived with careless measure
That renaissance man
Relished in his endeavors


Renaissance Man

Drum Square

Go down, down, down to the bone
Go down, down, down to the bone
Lift up, up, up goes my soul
Lift up, up, up goes my soul
Wade deep, deep, deep through my heart
Wade deep, deep, deep through my heart
Fly high, high, high in my mind
Fly high, high, high in my mind

Leave your crumb trail in the forest for me
I’ll leave a blood trail that’s easily seen (repeat x 3)

Is there enough room for us in the molten lava pot?
I tried to climb, climb to the top
But my limbs, they’ve melted off
Yes, my limbs they’ve melted off
Oh, the sweet sanctity of swirling fires aglow
I tried to reach for your hand to help
But I’d rather be left alone
Yes, I’d rather be left alone

Go down, down, down to the bone
Go down, down, down to the bone
Lift up, up, up goes my soul
Lift up, up, up goes my soul
Wade deep, deep, deep through my heart
Wade deep, deep, deep through my heart
Fly high, high, high in my mind
Fly high, high, high in my mind

Leave your crumb trail in the forest for me
I’ll leave a blood trail that’s easily seen (repeat x 3)

The World Is My Oyster

Far From It

Rainbows

Comeback

Oh mama, tell them that I'm sorry
You know I just had to go
I mean these people all are crazy
But it's nothing personal

Oh, with their eyes all like Medusa's
Kisses as Judas'
I try to remain optimistic
But if feels like foolishness

They say the truth will set you free
I find, sometimes, so will lies
It's hard to see your enemies
when all your friends are in disguise

So mama tell them that I'm sorry
I just had to let it go
I mean these people all are crazy
But you know I love them so

Okay, okay, I'll pay back karma
One day, when I find out what's really right and wrong
And not just somebody's opinion


Vaya Con Dios

This is a Deerhunter cover recorded on a laptop and performed by Charles and Christiana (early 2011).

I have nothing but the truth for you 
I have nothing but the truth 
I have nothing but love for you darling, darling 
Nothing but you 

No, no, no 
It's so hard to say goodbye to you 
It's so hard to say goodbye 
No, no, no 
It's so hard to say goodbye to you 
It's so hard to say goodbye when you're holding on 
So tightly to what you'd like to be, love. 

x2
