Lyrics: [The Alien]
The lights were low enough, you guessed
You swapped your conscience with your father's medication
Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
And on the way, wrote out a self-made declaration
And when you got to Pleasant Hill
You forced the traffic to erase your family demons
And made a pact with you and God:
"If You don't move I swear to You I'm gonna make Ya"
Do you need me?
Do you need me?
Do you need me?
Do you need me?
When the first officer arrived
It happened to be the high school bully of your brother
When you finally recognized
You felt some guilt that you had even let him touch you
Can you hear me? What's your name?
You could not speak, just laid amazed at all the damage
As the high school's letting out
All the kids're saying the same thing that they used to
It's an alien
It's an alien
It's an alien
It's an alien
The lights were low enough you guessed
Hospital food, there's never enough medication
The doctor asked about your ears
You said your mom said you were made from a revelation
But Revelation never scares
Your fear came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors
Were you just finally letting go?
Or did you mean to take out all those people with you?
"Didn't mean to
Didn't mean to
Didn't mean to
Didn't mean to"
Oh, I didn't mean to
(Take the time to terrify the throne)
Oh, I didn't mean to
(You'll never let it go)
No, I didn't mean to
(Take the time to terrify the throne)
Oh, I didn't mean to
(They'll never let you go)
Time is here to take your last amendments and believe them on your own
Time is here to take you by the hand and leave you there alone
(You won't ever know)
Time has come to take the last commandment and to carve it in your stone
(You won't ever know)
Time has come to take you by the hand and leave you here alone
[The Sunshine]
I already know that I don't already know
You are the sunlight
I don't really care if you don't understand
You are the moonlight
And that's alright, alright with me
Oh, that's alright
I don't really mind if you don't really mind
You are the sunshine
You don't have to know if you don't want to know
You are the moonlight
Oh and that's alright, alright with me
Oh that's alright, alright with me
Oh that's alright, alright with me
Oh that's alright, alright with me
Oh that's alright, alright with me
Oh that's alright
Alright (I'm) alright (I'm) alright (I'm) alright (I'm) alright
[The Grocery]
"I don't know where I'm going but I'm going anyways"
So you leave the apartment, grab the gun under the bed
I want to reach above the paradox where nobody can see
Want to hold a light to paradigm and strip it to its feet
I want to feel the way my father felt, is it easier for me?
I want to know if there's a Higher Love oblivious to me
So you walk in the grocery and you, you unload several rounds
"Don't you dare move a muscle," cardboard cutout ads
I want to reach above the paradox where nobody can see
Want to hold a light to paradigm and strip it to its feet
I want to feel the way your father felt, was it easy for belief?
I want to know if there's a Higher Love he saw that I can't see
Looking back, it's obvious now, you believe Him or you don't
So you load up your pistol and you, you press it to your lips
And you squeeze on the trigger, all it does is clicks
I want to reach above the para-blind where nobody could see
Want to hold a light to paradise and see if I could sleep
I want to feel the way our fathers felt when it swept them off their feet
I want to know about that Higher Love you saw that can't be seen
The only obvious equation, you believe it or you don't
And I've been trying to find the right way to get out of here
I've been trying to find the right way to get out of here
This is the only Way to go
This is the only Way
