Underrated album, almost as good as Dirt

The acoustic versions of the songs are better though

How you turn my world
You precious thing
You starve and near exhaust me

Everything I've done
I've done for you
I move the stars for no one

You've run so long
You've run so far
Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as I can be so cruel

>>68368882

don't try to throw away the skies you keep in there
try to throw away the disguise
just below things are changing
the sky is going to rain inside tonight
try to throw away the flags of consciousness
flow through the fields of time
but when you pass the black foliage
you can always change your mind

Sometimes, in the finest of moments
You find the furniture just doesn't fit
Something about the carpet
Makes you want to scream
The ashtrays make you ill
The hostess wants you to smile
Don't sit on the sofa, the plastic makes you sweat
The bathroom's done in mirror tiles
The toaster wants your blood

I took two tabs of acid yesterday afternoon
Woke up this morning with a torn pair of shoes
Found I'd ruined my life and everyone else's too
I guess this is what my teachers warned me drugs would do

But they forgot to mention the way
The morphine makes the pain go away
And how I'll always remember the good times in my spine
And the holes I burned in my brain with this next line

>>68372614

The hundred billionth teenage boy
With social problems
Who plays the guitar

Maybe I'm a snob, but alot of these lyrics are pretty drab imo, likely their delivery sells them, but I think great lyrics can read like poetry and not need intonation to make them memorable.

My prime example being of Montreal, where Kevin Barnes consistently writes witty and verbose lyrics that could fill as book as well as they do an album.

Just from his latest offering
>of course this world would be better without you
>this is try for most everyone or at least people like us
>but you can't really martyr yourself when no one gives a fuck
>stop acting like a victim stop conceding defeat
it's so tedious to watch someone you care for keep failing themselves

CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO DIE
CAN'T RECALL THE REASON WHY

I remember we were driving
Driving in your car
The speed so fast it felt like I was drunk
The city lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone
Be someone

Fucking Neil Peart punches you right in the fucking feels with Losing it (http://youtu.be/CZ91bOLz2ss):

Thirty years ago, how the words would flow
With passion and precision
But now his mind is dark and dulled
By sickness and indecision
And he stares out the kitchen door
Where the sun will rise no more

Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we'd like to be

Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee, bell tolls for
For you, the blind who once could see
Bell tolls for thee, bell tolls for thee

>>68368882
that song and shame in you is some of the most depressing music in existence

I adored the way she modified my mornings
When I'd wake up in the calm shoals of her bed
Somersaults or smoke in a universe of sleep
Before she slipped back into her heritage and disappeared
And she taught me to relight, relight and relight again

Love will save you...
...but it won't...
...save....

>I wish you'd come and see me, I'd like to hold you
>I want to set my mind all free
>You understand me, woman, you give me time
>But I don't need no sympathy
>Still, I wonder what it's like to be loved
>Instead of hiding in myself
>Nobody will change me, anyways

>I think that I'm about to go AWOL. Lose my shit.
>As reality slips away I'm startin' to lose my grip.
>No smile is genuine or real.
>I find myself losin' faith in every thing and every person that I hold dear.
>I'm in a bad place. Who do I trust?
>I don't trust myself. How the fuck I'm gonna trust you?
>If I don't love myself, how the fuck I'm gonna love you?
