Neon

Shades Apart Neon歌詞
1.Calling

When the sun is almost out of view
I see the old man climbing to his roof
Leans against the sky into the painted distance
Tries to hear it every night
He wants to make it right

Calling out of somewhere
Voices in the shadows
Calling out of someplace
Moving one by one

Says he had sons, all about my age
Can't remember more the pictures fade
Blink and years go by the days go on forever
Shines the medals every day
He doesn't miss a day

Under indigo and charcoal skies
He listens when the traffic rattle dies
On the jetstream signals at the edge of silence
More than half a world away
Is not so far away


2.Comet

This
Side of truth
Unlearned in my youth

Lines
Edges on the air
Too much everywhere

Tear it away
I'm not sorry

Spin
Spinning circle game
Every word the same

Rage
Scream across the sky
Rage against the dying light

Overdriving
Black lie smiling
You won't grind me


3.Dead Before I`m Gone

She holds too tight
Underwater life
And paralyzed
Her own mind
Gets in the way
Every time

I don't want to be dead and gone before i'm gone

She starts to shake
Covers up her face
Because it's all fake
All design
What can it take
To realize

Awake at night
Nothing fits right
Shut inside
Dreams a life
Doesn't make sense at all
In the world outside


4.Good Luck Charm

Picture out the window is razor sharp
Horizontal lines stretch out so far
Reach out for a hand in the dark

Watching all the colors drifting by
Look forever down that mountainside
Feel the cool air rise off the ground

I decide what is right or wrong
I decide what can pass or fail
I rely on my good luck charm

Stepping over oceans
Walk across the sky
Universe is shrinking
Down to size
Try to dissolve into space

No one is deceitful
Nothing untrue
Ignoring what is certain
Believe a lie
Conscience can escape from inside

Imaginary friends are stopping by
Talking aspirations of past lives
Faces seem familiar and kind


5.Lullabye

What's this buzzing in my head
Kitchen light is always humming
Singing a song about summertime
Stars erased by the haze

Electric air fills up the night
Blue tv screen gives me sunshine
I'm swallowed up by the summertime
Shadows spin on the wall

I've got no time for you
You've got no time for me
Let's just end it for a while
Rain's a lullabye

What's this buzzing in my head
I can't make out what you just said
Daylight won't come today

I've got no time for this
You say this is not the time
Let's just end it for a while
Quiet all the sound for me


6.Neon

She don't know where i came from
I'm feeling like i'm half-alive
She don't know and i don't care
Two of us are scared to laugh

What a waste of saturday
My eyes shut tight
I lie awake all night

We both know the flashing lights
The neon flicker and buzz
We both know the night's swirling blurs
I just can't place the face


7.The Tilt

Clock ticks
Memory slips
Call it bliss
Curl your lips into a smile

Ignition
Let's take a ride to see the fireworks
Exploding
Don't turn the lights off yet i'm fighting sleep

Wake up my senses
Open the curtain on my mind
I know i still believe in you

Phone rings
It's valerie
Seeing
Can you come to a birthday party

Free falling
Small talk can get so small some times
Recalling
My favorite episode with out looking up

Ecstatic
The static rocks the radio
God dammit
Automatically i stare into your eyes


8.Visitor

I guess you 're wondering why i brought you here
It seemed like such a good idea at the time
I was thinking you would sort things out
If i could just explain away the consequences

Please meet me on neutral ground
It's not fair to me when you smile
Promise you won't see through me
A promise of time

Sorry that the place is such a mess
Things all piled up at once i guess
How can you look at me like i'm insane
All i want to give you is some understanding
