[verse]
We’re always rising
We’re always falling
We’re always flying
We’re always calling
 
[bridge]
But tell me where are we going?
And are we ever arriving?
Everything’s overflowing
Everything’s always dying
 
[verse]
But if we try
To find our why
Well maybe 
We’ll get there someday 	
 
[chorus]
Time to hit stop and rewind
Dead metaphors don’t stay behind
We too can rise again
Let’s just say when [x2]    
 
[verse]
But if we try
To find our why
Well maybe 
We’ll get there someday 
	
[chorus]

[Bill Hicks]
There is a point—is there a point to all this? Let’s find a point.

[Verse 1]
Baby, I’m sorry
I’m sorry it didn’t work out
But tell me, tell me
There’s a new way to sort this out
Cause I don’t, no I don’t
Want to hide anymore 

[Chorus]
I came home
And saw you there
You weren’t alone
I had to stare
It’s my time to go
I left at dawn
That life I knew
I’m moving on

[Bill Hicks]
I don’t mean to sound cold or cruel or vicious, but I am so that’s the way it comes out. Professional help is being sought.
How about a positive LSD story? Wouldn’t that be newsworthy, just once?

[Verse 2]
Tell me, tell me
Why you had to do me like that
Cause now I, now I
Want to run far away
 
[Chorus]
I came home
And saw you there
You weren’t alone
I had to stare
It’s my time to go
I left at dawn
That life I knew
I’m moving on

[Bill Hicks]
Don’t worry, don’t be afraid—ever—because this is just a ride.

Just a Ride

[Verse 1]
We just won’t let go
The years begin to show
We can’t forget – oh no
When did time start to slow?

[Chorus]
Oh lord, tell us how we’ve strayed
Would we wanna go back anyway?
The hourglass has melted away
The sun’s burning us and we can’t stay
No we can’t stay
Oh no

[Verse 2]
The days begin to blur
How’d we lose what we were?
Did we forget for sure?
Nothing left is obscure

[Chorus]
Oh lord, tell us how we’ve strayed
Would we wanna go back anyway?
The hourglass has melted away
The sun’s burning us and we can’t stay

[Outro]
No we can’t stay
No we won’t let go
No exits around
The fuse set to blow

No Exits

[Anna Karina in Vivre sa vie]
J’oublie que je suis responsable mais je le suis. Non, c’est ce que je disais : vouloir s'évader c'est de la blague. Après tout, tout est beau, il y a qu’à s’intéresser aux choses et les trouver belles.

I forget that I’m responsible but I am. No, it’s like what I was saying: wanting to escape is a joke. After all, everything is beautiful, you just have to take interest in things and find them beautiful

[Verse 1]
She gave me butterflies every time
And didn’t have to try
She made me lose my mind every time
And didn’t have to try

[Chorus]
How long ‘til you’re bored w/ this
metamorphosis?
How long ‘til you’re bored w/ this
faded elegance

[Verse 2]
Some days I utter lies every time
And I don’t have to try
Some days I lose my mind drinking wine
And I don’t have to try

[Chorus]
How long ‘til you’re bored w/ this
metamorphosis?
How long ‘til you’re bored w/ this
faded elegance

Butterflies

[Verse] 
Well I’m tired of playin'
Cause everyday it’s the same thing they’re sayin’
And I’m tired of tryin'
Cause everyday it’s the same old lyin’

[Pre-chorus]
Oh, woah, 
It’s really coming down
And you know that I know 
What it’s like to drown

[Chorus]
Soon it’ll be gone
Another myth you’ll never find
Put the music on
Soft shelter for your mind
Lie out on the lawn
New memories to leave behind

[Verse]
Well it’s getting so drainin’
Cause everyday it’s the same thing it’s rainin’
And I’m over the weather
Cause everyday it’s the same old winter

[Pre-chorus]
Oh, woah, 
It’s really coming down
And you know that I know 
What it’s like to drown

[Chorus]
Soon it’ll be gone
Another myth you’ll never find
Put the music on
Soft shelter for your mind
Lie out on the lawn
New memories to leave behind

Soft Shelter
