So This Is Love

So this is love, so this is love
so this is the miracle I've been dreaming of
Oh, puppeteer, tell me where to move
I see I'm useless without your touch
Falling asleep is not so peaceful anymore
I long to be lifted by my strings
so this is love, so this is love
the miracle I've been dreaming of
But I've woken up
Pay back your petty loans, and you'll have nothing to fear
But I'm not shy about raising the stakes
Your love, it buries me
And I'm running out of steam
Can you carve your way out?
so this is love, so this is love
the miracle I've been dreaming of
I'm like the water in the street
You fill my mind, and I flood your dreams
You want me out, you want me out
And all you wish to leave behind are tangled ends and windswept lies
I'm all aglow and now I know
the key to our heaven is us

Little Heart
03:54
|
|||
do you know what I am getting at?
I am still waiting for patience
on your part, there's a hard little heart
would you be kind and beat it?
all of my pockets are turned out
and I have nothing to say
they keep asking me questions
but my answers I don't know how to phrase
maybe there's another thing to bring up
but you're not even strong enough to stand up
and all the books you have to read
don't tell you how you could behave, no
and all the little words repeat
you don't play it back, don't skip a beat, no
save all your lives for the jury
though you would have wasted them on yourself
painted on your face is all they need to know
maybe there's another thing to bring up
but you're not even strong enough to stand up
Chorus
and all I want to know is why I'm still hiding
and all you want to know is your own handwriting
Chorus
do you know what I am getting at?
I am still waiting for patience

Flowers on Your Head
03:14
|
|||
one day you will be their son
and they'll shout back to you
one day you will be a heart
that's broken more than in two
did you buy what's left on the list?
but it's okay, there's nothing much to scream about
can you suffer one last time, they ask me
flowers on your head
oh they wimper so sweetly
oh you want to cry,they sing so wonderfully
are those roses? no...
did you want to call me inside
and say you're thankful, you're so thankful
could you tell me without your pride
you are happy? you are happy...
and although you think, you think you tried your best
there's no sunlight in your dreams, no, not in your dreams

Wake Me
04:00
|
|||
you'll always have me
but you don't need me
so it goes, i'm not opposed
I didn't want to drag you around, you see
I wanted you to follow me, oh so willingly
oh, you can wake me
no I'm not lying
you find me crying but,
I'm surely out of love
when it comes down to it, you are my melody
you are my touch of green I can't do without
oh, you can wake me
you can wake me
if you find yourself awake in the middle of the night
I'm just dreaming pleasant things
but you can wake me
you can wake me
you'll always have me
but you don't need me
so it goes,
i'm not opposed (x3)
I didn't want to drag you around

Enlighten Me
03:54
|
|||
I heard your breath deliver restless sighs
when things started to look bleak
I felt the tremor, the earth had opened up
how can your body die so well?
enlighten me, I’ve tried illuminating
dusting off the shelves but it collects much too fast for me
fulfill my dreams, then I might know
what to do with your body
your body that dies so well
you remind me of many things
but I like to ignore the shapes and signs
that tell me more than I’ll admit to say
but you are there and you’re taunting me
with your body in mind, I bleed internally
Chorus
maybe there’s something new to believe in
a love that goes beyond the living
Chorus

Epilogue: Crayon Face
05:04
|
|||
Your crayon face leaves no marks on my walls
Your sinful eyes are tired and worn
Tearing your limbs, there's someone knocking at your door
No one can reach you, you're still fast asleep
Can you see, can you see, can you see, can you see anything, anything?
Can you breathe, can you breathe in the essence of reality?
the streets are as empty as the heart of Eleanor Rigby
In your own words can you break it down for me?
It kills instantly then crumbles and bleeds, washing it down the drain
Can you see, can you see, can you see anything?
Can you breathe, can you breathe in the essence of reality?
I told you once, then I told you again
Did you hear the words coming out of my head?
I don't think I could say it any longer
Can you see, can you see, can you see anything?
Can you breathe, can you breathe in the essence of reality?
Your crayon face leaves no marks on my walls
No one can reach you, no one can feel you
Your crayon face leaves no marks
