Hopelessly, a man starts to feed your day
Once he was there you never looked back
How did you think that his words might just fade away?
He seemed harmless enough so you let him in, and now you'll pay
I can't see him but he's stalking my thoughts
How does it feel when you can't concentrate? I just stare
All of your daydreams are a seesaw for him to play on
Now how do you feel when he calls your name
You can plug your ears, but it's not the same
How do you know when he pulls you back
Get it on, get it on, get it on
Nobody's wrong, nobody's right the birdman wouldn't lie
Nobody's wrong, nobody's right I just can't trust him tonight
How do you forget a stranger that plagues your days?
We arm ourselves when there's nothing to fear right? wrong
How does it feel when it comes to pass
There's something there but it's just not quite right
How does it feel, does it make you mad?
(Chorus)
I feel him, I feel him close
(Chorus)
I've read the bible, I've read Dylan
I'm reading people now because it's much more chilling
But I sit on a satellite with the stars made of gold
And there's life through that hallow lens
But I know, I know
Supersatellite
I watch the traffic, I find the seeds
And one man in particular, well he's not what he seems
I can't focus in on the lies in his head
He's convinced that his blood is blue but it's red
Supersatellite
And nothing dazzles me,
I am in his dreams
And nothing is shocking
Transparent human being
Supersatellite
I let go of the world that was holding
A passenger that could not fly
In search of souls, in search of something,
Let it go, let it slide
When I find out what went on,
We'll bring it back but it won't be easy
They won't believe how a man, he could drown in a starseed
I hoped to find why the world wasn't glowing
It darker as we end this ride
I've fallen back under the equator,
We're back inside, we're back inside
(Chorus)
When I find out what went on
We'll bring it back but it won't be easy
They won't believe the man he could,
But I'd choose starseed over nothing, nothing
Hope climbs atop of the piano
Reaching out towards the warmth of the sun
Some man tries to ask her down
Well now, maybe that's where she belongs
"My god", she said, "I'm the sunflower who wants"
"My god", he said, "This woman is gone"
Into the dark is there anybody there?
My god she said
He climbed up top to find that she was slipping
Let her go, let her go, let me go
How long must they leave before they're winning?
They don't know, they don't know, they just don't know
"My god", she said, "We're the sunflowers want"
"My god", he said, "The woman is gone"
Into the dark is there anybody there?
My god she said
If she can't be there I know it's best that nothing is denied
If she can't be there I know it's best that everyone change sides
Into the dark is there anybody there?
Into the light, the light, the light
"My god", she said
If she can't be there I know it's best that nothing is denied
If she can't be there I know it's best that everyone change sides
Come, come Naveed...
Are you there, and is it comfortable?
Did you want to escape, try to escape the population?
The pressure is deceiving and for you particularly
To let a young man die,
Oh, let him die if he wants to
I can't live here anymore
But it's hard when you reach for that floor
There's something that tears me inside
So I can't go
Brother are you there?
Tell me is it wonderful,
Were you hoping to find something a little more?
Climbing down the hours, I need to know now
Do the hands of time only rule this chapter?
I'll have to try once again
I'll have to try when want I want to
(Chorus)
There he's on his knees again, trying hard to understand
Why naveed would let a young man die
Convinced that he might break, he reaches for the phone
And then another day is gone
(Chorus)
So you feel the stain of dried up discussions without weight
It's that feeling that you will not have to destroy
It's that feeling that you will not have to ignore
The dirty walls
So you've been plagued but is everything ok?
I cannot bear the shallow words they throw
It's that feeling that you will not have to employ
It's that felling that you will not - it's gotta go
The dirty walls
The conversation is going nowhere
It's transparent as fuck
The conversation must be over
Because all I see is mud
The dirty walls
The telephone is ringing - disconnect the line
The tension is building but I'm alright, yeah I'm alright
The stars are colliding so you might as well let me go
The television is burning, I set it on fire
The wheels they keep turning, but I'm fine
What about the questions we have locked up inside
Somewhere, somehow we've been denied
Hand and hand we walk behind
Pretending, defending while our souls are tied
It's only the third hour, my conscience subsides
But something reminds me that you lied
What about the consequences? This can't be right
(Chorus)
Time can't fix it fast enough
So we won't notice what it was went wrong
I saw something there that was much too familiar
A butterfly with a broken wing
She's fallen under, she's past the end
Communication is down and down and down
The scars have healed but they are back again
We've got to believe this man must bend
Cause if you could you'd try to destroy her
And there we would be with nothing at all
Is it safe to be a man when your tired and lonely?
Only the confident know where to stand
Is it safe to be a man when the world is loaded?
Thousands that can't figure out just what they did
Time can't fix it fast enough
So we won't measure just how far below
You kept pushing her you'll have to pay back
All the years that you stole
She's walking backwards, she spun around
Her ears are ringing loud
She's on her knees please understand
It's obvious it this man must bend
Cause if you could you'd try to destroy her
And there we would be with nothing at all
(Chorus)
Can you see her standing there?
And well she trying to find just anywhere
There are flowers in her hand
And she doesn't know why
And offered is advice to you
But all you do was fake it
(Mother) And she's only yours tonight
(Mother) Oh she never cries
(Mother) But I know there is hurt inside
(Mother) Julia
Drowning in her own visions
She's begging the past to stay behind
A black cat in the night, and there's a black cat in that sky
But offered is advice to you
You left but I don't blame you
(Chorus)
We're digging up the past
Cross it, cross it, cross that line
To bury, to bury, to bury it one last time
But offered is advice to you
I know there's pain inside that truth
But you just gotta take it
(Chorus)
Maybe they'll come back again
Maybe they've all gone
One day you'll find me
Sending this message strong
Under your feet the city falls
Down so far the ground is sky
We're under zenith again
It's healthy if not for long
Leave a little room for us to breathe
Much more than seven days
You've slipped to deep
Much stronger than sympathy
Let your best friend pull back that leash
Sitting by a frozen man
Someone somewhere has to cry
We're under zenith again
Let the cycle run we don't die
Leave a little room for us to breathe
I love, love how you let me fall
Under, under but not to far
I love, love how you let me fall
Only now I see where we are
Hold me
All you people, can you feel it waiting
Innocence and love
Wrapped in the arms of the burning neon
I feel it, I feel it
It's so entertaining and so wonderful
It magically calls for you
Big neon crossing show me the way
Big neon crossing save my soul today
Don't you worry, and don't be afraid
Does it send you to the world appealing
There is spoken word that I can't take
So I'm the liar, I'm the liar
You're so disappointed to find out
That the magic was not really meant for you
(Chorus)
I can't wait, and I can't be a liar
I can't wait, and I can't be a liar
(Chorus)
Go Back to Our Lady Peace.
