Bad Omens


’Concrete Jungle’

Can you see yourself
Through the bruises when the makeup melts?
In the dark when all the powers out?
Everybody talks and gets around
When the money talks
Do you think it gets the point across?
It's a burning coal you're walking on
And in a second, all the pain is gone
I said, "It's enough"
I begged and I ran in circles
I climbed to the sun
And fell in a concrete jungle
I said, "It's done"
You never know if you'll get what you wish for
I climbed to the sun
And I fell
I fell, in a concrete jungle
The coyotes cry
And the sirens pass and harmonize
Fires starting every day and night
Burn around us while we're trapped inside
Wouldn't it be nice
To play the game without a crooked die
In a world where you don't have to hide?
You don't have to live in a disguise
I said, "It's enough"
I begged and I ran in circles
I climbed to the sun
And fell in a concrete jungle
I said, "It's done"
You never know if you'll get what you wish for
I climbed to the sun
And I fell
I fell, in a concrete jungle
And I'm the fucking king
I want things that money can't buy
The price is pain to make this right
And I could buy a thousand lives
So you can try to kill me, but I can't fucking die
Die
I said it's enough
I begged and I ran in circles
I climbed to the sun
And fell in a concrete jungle
I said it's done
You never know if you'll get what you wish for
I climbed to the sun
And I fell
I fell, in a concrete jungle
In a concrete jungle
And I'm the fucking king




Bad Omens

‘THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND’

I made another mistake, thought I could change
Thought I could make it out
Promises break, need to hear you say
You're gonna keep it now
I miss the way you say my name
The way you bend, the way you break
Your makeup running down your face
The way you touch, the way you taste
When the curtains call the time
Will we both go home alive?
It wasn't hard to realize
Love's the death of peace of mind
You're in the walls that I made with crosses and frames
Hanging upside down
For granted, in vain, I took everything
I ever cared about
I miss the way you say my name
The way you bend, the way you break
Your makeup running down your face
The way you fuck, the way you taste
When the curtains call the time
Will we both go home alive?
It wasn't hard to realize
Love's the death of peace of mind
When the curtains call the time
Will we both be satisfied?
It wasn't hard to realize
Love's the death of peace of mind
Love's the death of peace of mind
You come and go in waves
Leaving me in your wake
You come and go in waves
Swallowing everything
Are you satisfied?
Love's the death of peace of mind
Mind, mind
When the curtains call the time
Will we both go home alive?
It wasn't hard to realize
Love's the death of peace of mind
When the curtains call the time
Will we both be satisfied?
It wasn't hard to realize
Love's the death of peace of mind
Love's the death of peace of mind
Love's the death of peace of mind

’Worms Of The Earth’




Worms of the earth
Rise in numbers!
A silent night brings them upon us!
Rising from the soil
To torment the living!
Torment the living!

Gentlemen, our faith is wounded…
And yes, we are wounded too
They've come out from the swamp
But we, we stand on both legs
They will roll over and over and over again!
And another lonely pacifist,
Lying in the sun
There is no ground control (Mayday!)
Breathe not a word of this…
Quiet, quiet confidence…
The time has come to face this
We all must bear witness
The world will roll over and over and over again!
And another lonely pacifist,
Dying in the sun
I will not watch this…
I will not watch this all come down…
[epic bass line drop]
Careful boy, careful!
Absence of heart makes a boy, a man, a monster!
Absence of heart makes a boy, a man, a monster!
Absence of heart makes a boy, a man, a monster
Absence of heart makes a boy, a man, a monster!

As Cities Burn

’Daughter’


It's a shame what I thought of her
When I saw her that way.
It didn't change what you thought of her.
She's been your daughter since she was made.

Since I was made, I've been leaving.
I'd say I'd change but I wouldn't believe it.
It's 'cause my legs, they don't forget.
When they find a way out, they'll always take it.

Oooh we don't
No oh we don't
We don't know how we got here,
The way is overgrown.
Oooh we don't
No oh we don't
We don't know how we became this.

She has a name but I don't have to know
'Cause all I'm after is all she has to show.
We cannot save, we can't even slow
Our loss of innocence every new child has to grow.

Oooh we don't
No oh we don't
We don't know how we got here,
The way is overgrown.
Oooh we don't
No oh we don't
We don't know how we became this.

’Mistakes We Knew We Were Making’



We made plans to be unbreakable,
Love was all we knew.
No insurance for the unthinkable,
Blindly get us through.
We've been searching for a lifetime,
Short as it may seem.
Riding on the fumes that spark us,
While igniting dreams.

Mistakes we knew we were making.
Mistakes we knew we were making.
Don't think about chances we're taking,
Mistakes we knew...
Do da da da da..
Do da da da da dada da da..
Do da da da da..
Do da da da da dada da da..

Driving in the rain to the hospital,
Quiet aches intense,
What at once just seemed the impossible,
Now makes perfect sense.
We held hands to face the uncomfortable cold,
And lonely room.
Magazines and empty distractions
Barely got us through.

Mistakes we knew we were making.
Mistakes we knew we were making.
Don't think about chances we're taking,
Mistakes we knew...
Do da da da da..
Do da da da da dada da da..
Do da da da da..
Do da da da da dada da da..

And when we try to think of the life inside,
We found ourselves looking at the world through new eyes.
What can now be said?
Oh, little one on the other side.
Dance until the band stops playing,
Sing with all your might.

Mistakes we knew we were making.
Mistakes we knew we were making.
Don't think about chances we're taking,
Don't think about rules we were breaking.
Mistakes we knew...

The list goes on and on.
The list goes on and on.
The list goes on and on...

The Jon Hill Project

‘Lesson Learned In Seconds’

I would say if I hadn't looked
I'd be resting meters beneath us
I would say if I hadn't turned
Then the phone call would have been much worse

A little voice on my shoulder at the light
Shouted "Brace yourself", I didn't question it
And when the glass formed a body silhouette
I released myself, I don't question it
What is your last thought?

I'm flashing back to every phone call
Wish that I had answered
I'm flashing back to every talk I didn't have
If this disturbance doesn't take me away
Then I will treasure every random moment I get with you


I would pray every other night
To go backwards, I'd go backwards
And I would scream how I'm lost
I didn't understand, and it took a broken window to think
What are my last thoughts?

I'm flashing back to every phone call
Wish that I had answered
I'm flashing back to every talk I didn't have
If this disturbance doesn't take me away
Then I will treasure every random moment I get with you


I pray to go back when I am lost
I didn't always understand 'til my head hit the window
Changing the way I now think


I feel remorse for every phone call
Wish that I had answered
I'm flashing back to every talk I should have had
If this disturbance doesn't take me to them
Then I will savor every random moment we get

Yeah!


So many ways to spend the time allotted
So many ways to love the ones who care
I needed this to value time, I hadn't before
I let it go to waste the farther I went north
I let it incubate by going back and forth
Don't let it dissipate, don’t let it!
Lesson learned in seconds!

Evaline

‘Postpartum Modesty’


well,
she’s got it all worked out
faded vanity
i think that it shows by now, she’s probably on to me
well she’s clear, not far away
at night time they stray
wont believe nor fear, because i made her real
ooohhh


woe, woe
closer will you come out?
woe, woe
closer will you fall out?
when you come out
did you come?


your kingdom arose from a fort of sheets
your crown was hailed by the king in me
as we whispered our woes

closer will you come out?

woe, woe
closer will we fall out?
woe, woe
closer will you come out?
woe, woe
closer will you fall out?
when you come out
did you come?

woe
woe!

closer will you come out!
closer will you fall out!
closer will you fall…

woe, woe
closer will you come out
woe, woe
closer did you fall out?
woe, woe
closer will you come out?
woe, woe
closer did you fall out?
did you come?

Counterfit

‘Better Late Than Never’


Sit still
And watch the lights of
This city scape
Streak by in straight lines
In record time.
I hadn't thought of this picture...
And thought is all I have to miss of her.
I remember

Those times that I opened up my mouth
In hopes of saying something clever.
To think I haven't cared that much about
What I've said in years...

Stepped out on the sidewalk.
Ten paces across the parking lot.
And through the hallway.
Pull the door and enter.
We pay with faded paper.
I remember I thought:

Don't act so interested,
I'm not so interesting.

Those times that I opened up my mouth
In hopes of saying something clever.
To think I haven't cared that much about
What I've said in years...

And maybe I'll call you,
It's better late than never.
I promise I'll call you,
It's better late than never...
And maybe I’ll call you,
It’s better late than never.
I promise I’ll call you….
….it’s better late than never….
