Stop Me (I Need You)

I was not meant to get out of love
I was not meant to get out of love
I thought I couldn’t ever change
Now I don’t know what I could say
All I think of now is pleasing you
My mind is full of colors of all one shade
Each day I go without you i can’t explain
My world is full of shadows, I feel enraged
At everything, it’s true
(I Need You)
To be my ears and then my eye-eye-eyes
A brand new sensation
If I think calmly, who's gonna Stop Me?
(I Need You)
I wanna be radicali-i-ized
A bias selection
If I think calmly, who’s gonna Stop Me?
(I Need You)
I know I could be estranged
Person separate from all the veins
Of a society that shuns our love
My mind is full of colors of all one shade
Each day I spend in you I satiate
My world is full of shadows, I feel this hate
At everything it’s true
(I Need You-ou-ouou)
To be my ears and then my eye-eye-eyes
A brand new sensation
If I think calmly, who's gonna Stop Me?
(I Need You-ou-ouou)
I wanna be radicali-i-ized
A bias selection
If I think calmly, who’s gonna Stop Me?
(I Need You-ou-ouou)
I have no thoughts behind my eye-eye-eyes
There’s no fair election
If you can’t stop me, who’s gonna Stop Me?
(I Need You-ou-ouou)
Feels good to be radicali-i-ized
Divided in sections
If I can’t stop me, who’s gonna Stop Me?
(I Need You)
I was not meant to get out of love
I was not meant to get out of love
I was not meant to get out of love
(I Need You-ou-ouou)
I have no thoughts behind my eye-eye-eyes
There’s no fair election
If you can’t stop me, who’s gonna Stop Me?
(I Need You-ou-ouou)
Feels good to be radicali-i-ized
Divided in sections
If I can’t stop me, who’s gonna Stop Me?

Might As Well

No one wants to be a criminal
No one wants to get away with it
No one wants to go unhoused
But seldom do we ever commit
Someone wants to be misheard
Someone wants to have a bad excuse
Someone wants to walk away
That someone might as well be you
No one wants to hurt oneself
No one wants to feel the pain of it
No one wants to say it’s bad
But then how could we ever admit?
Someone wants to sneak behind
Someone wants to avoid the truth
Someone wants to walk away
That someone might as well be you
You think to never cede to her
This fascistic spectral moment
So you say “I’ll stand in place”
Then find yourself in motion
You think to never cede to her
This fascistic spectral moment
So you say “I’ll stand in place”
Then find yourself in motion
No one wants to be a criminal
No one wants to get away with it
No one wants to go unhoused
But seldom do we ever commit
You think to never cede to her (Someone wants to be misheard)
This fascistic spectral moment (Someone wants to have a bad excuse)
So you say “I’ll stand in place” (Someone wants to walk away)
Then find yourself in motion (That someone might as well be you)

Dreadful Way

I love in a Dreadful Way
You will see
I love all the fools I hate
Kneel to me
I love in a Dreadful Way
You will see
I love all the fools I hate
Kneel to me
I may hold your neck too tight
I may stop the mind's digest
I may show the force and might
I may hold you to detest
All are clay to fit the mold
What may be lies are truths I've told
I may hold your neck too tight
I may stop the mind's digest
I love in a Dreadful Way
You will see
I love all the fools I hate
Kneel to me
You may writhe and fight and scream
You may shout from time to time
You may have all that you need
You may lose the sight of signs
All are born with sin unclean
What can be felt cannot be seen
You may writhe and fight and scream
You may shout from time to time
I am only the things that I do (I do)
I am only the things that I do (I do)
I am only the rational actions I’ve taken
Or at least what is perceived by you
I love in a Dreadful Way
You will see
I love all the fools I hate
Kneel to me
They may stare into your soul
They may shield their eyes and ears
They may say my love is bold
They may live their life in fear
All can be turned ‘round and ‘round
What is inside is inside out
They may stare into your soul
They may shield their eyes and ears
I am only the things that I do (I do)
I am only the things that I do (I do)
I am only the rational actions I’ve taken
Or at least what is perceived by you
I love in a Dreadful Way
You will see
I love all the fools I hate
Kneel to me
I may hold your neck too tight
I may stop the mind's digest
I may show the force and might
I may hold you to detest
All are clay to fit the mold
What may be lies are truths I've told
I may hold your neck too tight
I may stop the mind's digest
I love in a Dreadful Way
You will see
I love all the fools I hate
Kneel to me

Find Out
04:21

I have always felt around
Afraid to see but I have found
A guiding hand
In this darkest time
For I fear what I could see
A world to come that tortures me
Though now you’re here
To soothe my aching mind
And I-i-i-i
Fear a world that is to come
But I-i-i-i
Feel safer now
And I-i-i-i
Don’t know who I am
Without you
And I-i-i-i
Don’t wanna find out
And in this world that is to come
They’ll bend and break til we succumb
We’re victims now
Their crisis of the truth
And even if the darkness grows
There’ll be one thing that I will know
In a world of fear
You’re comfort’s only proof
And I-i-i-i
Will always feel mad about you
But I-i-i-i
Am so full of doubt
And I-i-i-i
Don’t know who I am
Without you
And I-i-i-i
Don’t wanna find out
And as my world turns slowly
I want to like who I'll be
I hope I will, I know I will
Knowing that you still love me
And as our world turns slowly
I’ll fight to keep our love free
I know I will, I hope I will
Not close my eyes naively
And I-i-i-i
Don’t know who I am
Without you
And I-i-i-i
Hope I never find out
