Lyrics:

Ice on the windows, chill in my bones
Been here forever – that don’t make it home
Now I’m going, yeah I’m going, gone
Come and find me swimming in the sun

I’m just a stranger, born to get lost
Born to cross bridges no one else would dare to cross
I am seeking, I am seeking light
Nowhere I lay down to sleep ever feels quite right

God’s in the shadows, I try not to stare
I think I’m better off thinking he’s not there
Hear the angels, hear the angels’ choir
Heaven is a hope you hold, huddled by the fire

I feel the frostbite nip at my toes
Where does the soul wind up, when the body goes?
Now I’m going, yeah I’m going, gone
Come and find me swimming in the sun
Come and find me swimming in the sun
Come and find me swimming in the sun

The Darker Side of Being Human

Swimming in the Sun

Lyrics:

Oh, when Hitler came to power, I bet no one saw it coming
Quite as clearly as he saw it in his head
Ain't it funny how the future's in the eye of the beholder?
We can make it what we want to through the butterfly effect

For the first time, maybe ever, I'm afraid
That we could lose ourselves and everything
To a weak man who seeks power for his gain
To the darker side of being human

And, when I was at my lowest, I did things I can't be proud of
Broke my lover's heart to make it through the day
And I may have been a victim, but for all my good intentions
I still acted out of fear and lost my way

For the first time, maybe ever, I regret
How I almost lost myself and everything
To a false self built on ego, fighting change
To the darker side of being human

[Instrumental]

And when Donald Trump got shot, we all inched a little closer
To the monsters in our hearts coming awake
Those who cheered and those who cried out
Those who laughed and those who sighed and
Every one of us who riled up all the rest

For the first time, maybe ever, I'm afraid
That we all could lose ourselves and everything
To our lizard brains' old hunger for revenge
To our pupils' empty black and milky lens
To that hungry void inside that feasts on hate
To the darker side of being human

The Darker Side Of Being Human

Lyrics:

Some days are easy
Some days are hard
Some days I dream of the bridge you sold my heart

Some days are heaven
Some days are death
Some days I pray to God that I'll forget

Most of the time I think that I'm almost there
Most of the time I'm sure that I've all but healed
Most of the time I feel like I'm doing well
'Cause most of the time I know that your love's not real

Some days are heavy
Some days are kind
Some days the levee breaks and I can't get right

Sometimes the feeling
Boils to the top
Sometimes I bloom just like a tulip's cup

Most of the time I think that I'm almost there
Most of the time I'm sure that I've all but healed
Most of the time I feel like I'm doing well
'Cause most of the time I know that your love's not real

But there are nights
Your grooming wins
And the nagging voice of doubt begins

You promise change
And I bet on hope
But in the end it's me who folds

Some days are endless
Some days die quick
Some days I wonder if my lessons will stick

Sometimes I'm restless
Sometimes I'm calm
And on good days I think I might have already won

Most of the time I think that I'm almost there
Most of the time I'm sure that I've all but healed
Most of the time I feel like I'm doing well
'Cause most of the time I know that your love's not real

Yes, most of the time, I know that your love's not real

most of the time, i know

Lyrics:

I'm all bark and you're all bite
Somehow, I've never been right
I guess we'll do things your way
Your talking dog has learned to stay

And all of our friends have made their bets
Now, we bleed until we're spent
I just hope when I leave this cage
I can find myself again

How did I lose my sense of smell
And miss the smoke leading to hell?
Will I roll over in my grave
All rotten flesh and fresh red paint?

I ask what's wrong with running wild
And feeling free a little while
You say I'll grow into my paws and
Place rubber tips on all my claws

Oh, skinny bones, we're getting old
My heart and head are full of mold
Belch out my feelings from their pit
Crawl forth and eat my vomit

When this is done, I'll lick my wounds
And, once you've won, I'll lick yours too
Somehow, I give in to you
Every single time

When this is done, I'll lick my wounds
And, once you've won, I'll lick yours too
Why do I give in to you
Every single time?

When this is done, I'll lick my wounds
And, once you've won, I'll lick yours too
Why do I give in to you
Every single time?

Grace, For Those Who Need It

Your Talking Dog

Lyrics:

Mirror, mirror
Bathroom Stall
Close my eyes and I am
Nowhere at all
For now

Leave a message
For a friend
Hope they get it, pray it's
Not too late
For them
And that all kind-hearted people
Find their strength

God is love and
Love's my fate
But all your love was built on hate and you
Burned this Stockholm Syndrome in my Brain

Mirror, mirror
Sees me true
Knows the worst in me could
Never be like you
No, I could never be like you

God is love and
Love's my fate
But all your love was built on hate and you
Burned this Stockholm Syndrome in my Brain

So, though I know I'll get confused
And though I know I'll dream of you
And though the memories will remain
I promise me I'll stay away for good
And learn to love myself as I deserve

God is love and
Love's my fate
But all your love was built on hate and you
Burned this Stockholm Syndrome in my Brain

Mirror, mirror
Amplify
All the colors of this light we hold inside
Let all our spirits bloom tonight

God is love and
Love's my fate
But all your love was built on hate and you
Burned this Stockholm Syndrome in my Brain

So, though I know we'll get confused
And though we're scarred by this abuse
And though the memories will remain
Promise me you'll stay away for good
And learn to love yourself as you deserve

Stockholm Syndrome

Lyrics:

On the morning Chester died, I hugged my mother
For all his faults, she loved that stupid dog
And I still recall your eyes, brown and hollow as a feather
Feigning comfort in the voice you use to lie

I guess all the years you got to fuck me over
Made you think I don't see through your alibis
But I've been getting clear on who you are, my dear
And there's nothing but a hateful leech inside

When we walked out in the rain with his stiff body
You were strangely thrilled to watch me break my back
I stamped the shovel down, broke the cold, hard winter ground
Moved the earth and heard your sadist's wet dream laugh

I guess all the years you got to fuck me over
Made you think I still can't see the neon signs
But they're screaming loud and clear, "You're a narcissist, my dear"
The empty parasite that tried to bleed me dry

And I've been waiting for a long, long time
I've been waiting for a long, long time
I've been waiting for a long, long time
To be free
Of everything you've done to me

When I show the world the way you tried to break me
I don't care if they believe the words I write
'Cause I have gotten clear on who I am, my dear
And I'm not that kid you pushed near suicide

I guess all the years you got to fuck me over
Made you think God couldn't cut you down to size
But His love and holy light rule all flesh and bone and blight
And I think you'll find we pay our debts in time

Say, can you hear the taxman coming in the night?
Oh, can you hear the taxman coming in the night?
I can hear the taxman coming in the night
Justice always comes to make the balance
Right

You're a Narcissist, My Dear

Lyrics:

I know you're up there
In the night air
When I despair

And I know you'll save me
When I feel weak
And I stray

Who knew these dark times
Would be the lifelines
To all your strange signs
And belief?
And belief?

If I live forever
Swear I'll never
Dare turn heel

'Cause you've shown me I'm good
When I get hurt
I love harder

Who knew these dark times
Would be the lifelines
To all your strange signs
And belief?
And belief?
And belief?
And belief

I'm not so selfish
To take credit
For my peace

And I'm not too proud, now
To sing this out
Through the streets

Who knew these dark times
Would be the lifelines
To all your strange signs
And belief?
And belief?
And belief?
And belief

Who knew these dark times
Would be lifelines
To your love?

Lifelines

Time to get into Trouble. 😈

Lyrics:

Jump in the cold, black shower, dream of that big sleep
Don't wanna die, but someday we all come clean
Pull on my heavy boots before I leave the house
I'm gonna try and make this old car break the ground

Jumpstart my heart, you're ten thousand volts, lit up
And I'm real good conductor, drowning in solo cups
Sometimes, you gotta kiss death to make it real
Sometimes, you gotta bleed if you wanna feel

And you, in your room, still innocent and free
You've never felt your lungs this empty
You, in your room, write in your diary
"I don't go lookin' for trouble, but it finds me
It always finds me"

Now, melting my tires, I blaze the five miles east
When I make mistakes, I stick to my guns at least
Roll down the window, call out your name – last time
And hope that it travels down through the grapevine

And you, in your room, still innocent and free
You've never felt your chest this heavy
You, in your room, write in your diary
"I don't go looking for trouble, but it finds me
It always finds me"

You, in your room
You, in your room
You, in your room, write in your diary
"I don't go looking for trouble, but it finds me
It always finds me"

Trouble

Like Arctic Monkeys + Queens of the Stone Age

My Limit

"Make Your Demons Blink" is about choosing redemption. It's about facing our shadows, flaws, and sins, burning them down, and using them as fuel for the future. And it's about being there for one another through the ugly and painful transformation.
