Halfway Down The Sky

Splender Halfway Down The Sky Lyrics
1.I Don't Understand

When i'm asleep
I leave the light on
And try to breathe
Relive the moment i was born
I feel the breeze
It feels electric
Then mockery
Another headache i reject

Suppose the feeling's real
You'd never know
Suppose it's what you feel
You'll never know

That's what i don't understand
That's what i don't know

Now i'm awake
I leave the light on
And take a swim
Beneath the rocks and undertow
I try to scream
I don't remember where i've been
A trampoline
Another lack of oxygen

Suppose the feeling's real
You'd never know
Suppose it's what you feel
You'll never know

I open my mouth but there's
Nothing to swallow down
I'm scratching my face like there's
Something, farther down

It's like a drug
I turn the light off
And pull the plug
But still it always comes back on

Suppose you change your mind
And back again
Suppose you had more time
And adrenaline


2.Yeah, Whatever

And you're primitive
And you're cynical to me
And i chewed down on the bit
And almost swallowed it

You sit all alone with your color tv
Your hair starts to glisten
In spite of the fleas
We don't have to stay friends
Let's pretend to be enemies

Yeah, whatever makes you happy
Yeah, whatever makes it beautiful
Yeah, whatever leaves you satisfied
Cause i'm out of time
For now

And you're paranoid
As you look me up and down
And i'm soaked in gasoline
Mud and ice cream

You sit by the phone with your tongue hanging out
You cradle the flies in the back of your mouth
We don't have to stay friend
Let's pretend to be enemies

Damned if you do
Fucked if you don't
Damned if you do
What if you won't

You must be aware what you're doing to me
We sunk like a stone on a rock in the sea
We don't have to stay friends
(not for very long)
We don't have to stay friends
(just because you're gone)

You get what you want cause you won't let it die

Yeah, whatever makes you happy
Yeah, whatever leaves you insecure
Yeah, seems to break you down

Cause i'm out of time
But i'm feeling fine


3.Monotone

Roll over monotone
I've got something to say to you
I can't speak in stereo
And i don't want you to be confused

There's no need to analyze
There's no need to form an affliction
You're so bored and paralyzed
As you're making another excuse

I can't handle it, i'm intolerant
I rip off my shirt and i deal with it
I won't through a fit, i don't give a shit
I fall flat on my face in the back
Of this one

Collect me monotone
Cause i think i'm falling to pieces
I'm so strange, you should've known
While i lick all the salt off these wounds

For this one

I'm hating myself for
I want nothing more
We have such a strange design


4.Space Boy

I won't tell you my name
I avoid all those things
All together
I'm so high

Well i know it was dumb
Staring right at the sun
Stoned forever

Well it won't be the first or the last time
The world passes by

I'm a spaceboy
I don't want to be found
I'm a spaceboy
So stop holding me down
And i'd love
If i never returned to the ground

Well can we still be friends?
Well i guess that depends
How's the weather from so high?

Well i know it's a shame
Why do you cause all this strain
All together

Well it won't be the first or the last
Time i wanted to try

I'm a spaceboy
I don't want to look down
I'm a spaceboy
I've been floating around

And i'd love
If i never returned to the ground
I can see all the world going by

I'm a spaceboy
I don't want to be found
I'm a killjoy
So stop holding me down
And i'd love
If i never returned to the ground


5.Special

Better be good, i've said
Better be bad, i've done
Better be told what you want
Better believe in what?

Better to think about it
Better to live without it
Better be told what you want
Better believe in what?

You think you're so special
You think you're so clean
You think you're just better than me

Well first i chew you in
And then i spit you out

Better to leave, i doubt
Better to talk, about it
Better be told what you want
Better believe in what?

I wanna let go
I wanna stay home
And be myself
I wanna let go
I wanna stay home
I'm justified

You think it gets better than this?
But should i take you in?


6.I Think God Can Explain

there's a lot of things i understand,
And there's a lot of things,
That i don't want to know.
But you're the only face,
I recognize, it's so damn sweet of you,
To look me in the eyes.
It's all right, i'm o.k.,
I think god can explain,
I believe i'm the same,
I get carried away
It's alright, i'm o.k.,
I think god can explain
I'm relieved, i'm relaxed,
I'll get over it yet,
The scent of vaseline,
In the summertime,
The feel of an ice cube,
Melting over time,
The world seems bigger than both of us,
Yet it seems so small,
When i begin to cry.
It's all right, i'm o.k.,
I think god can explain,
I believe i'm the same,
I get carried away
It's alright, i'm o.k.,
I think god can explain
I'm relieved, i'm relaxed,
I'll get over it yet,
I'm so much better than you guessed,
I'm so much bigger than you guessed,
I'm so much brighter than you guessed.
It's all right, i'm o.k.,
I think god can explain,
I believe i'm the same,
I get carried away
It's alright, i'm o.k.,
I think god can explain
I'm relieved, i'm relaxed,
I'll get over it yet,
I'll get off of your back,
I think god can explain.
I think god can explain.
I think god can explain.


7.Supernatural

Beautiful feather hovering overground
We're similar
We're both being pushed by the wind
Through the air
To wherever
Haven't i seen you before?
Haven't you been here before?
As we both sit together
Whatever
As the wind blows

It's so supernatural
Let it fly

Wonderful words lying in the grass
We're similar
We're both getting cut of again
Together
Whatever
As we both sway
We must stop meeting this way
We've both been living ok
Cause we fell so far
From this tree again

And the sun is my best friend
And the earth opened up to me
We've been separate for so long
So long

It's so supernatural
Now everything's beautiful

We fell far from this tree
For so long
We crawled out of this stream
For so long
What's become of you?
What's become of me?
It's ok, it's ok
It's part of everything

It's natural
It's part of everything


8.Halfway Down The Sky

You've been pushing but i don't agree
Cause there was nothing ever here for me
If you could see the circles in my eyes
I tried
Let's get this whole thing out


I cannot be responsible
I don't care
I cannot be responsible
For you
Do you know where you are?

God i can't believe that i'm still here
And it's purpose wasn't very clear
I'm gonna take the time to wash away
This day
Let's get the whole thing out

With all i have and all you know
Don't trust me cause i'll hurt you so
As simple as a syllable
Be tired of my kind


9.I Apologize

You're down
So stay there
I'm clipping your unearned wings
My dear

You cry
For the outside
But i don't think you'll see it know

For rain that's fallen
Halfway down the sky
I apologize

You float like an angel
But then i wipe your cloud
And throw you out

You fall
Cause you can't fly
But i don't think you'll
Feel it now

For rain that's fallen
Halfway down the sky
I apologize
For sunlight burning holes in through your eyes
I apologize

The scent of the semen
Is what brought you here
We've made this clear
We slide on your inside
But i don't think we'll
Need it now


10.Spin

There was a bright light
But it was an off white
Upside down memory

1:
I'm caught in a landslide
I'm caught in a joyride
As my blood
Begins to thin

2:
You say it's a fact
You say it's a feeling
To stab in my back

So long, sorry
It makes me cry (it makes me sad)

So wrong, so rare
But i don't feel
And you're not there
And i don't want you back

Well you had a hard day
Of pushing me away
Please don't push
I fall easily

Well you put a hard strain
Hard on the membrane
I react to words you say

It's not like i care
It's not like i'm bleeding
Or numb everywhere

But i don't
Cause i stopped spinning around for you

There was a bright light
But it was an off white
All the world came
Crashing down

Repeat 1

Repeat 2

But i don't feel it coming on again

It's making me high
Cause i stopped spinning around for you


11.Cigarette

Got myself a job
Gonna move up that corporate ladder
Follow in the footsteps of all my friends

Have another cigarette

So why you tripping on me?
I can't take all the pressure
Gotta find some way to cope with this

Have another cigarette

And live 'til you die

I'm not afraid
I'm unafraid
I'm different from the rest somehow

Blind to the wind, the news
And the culture
Deaf to the sound that leaks
From your voice
Take a deep breath and pray
For a second one

Have another cigarette

So what do you think of me now?
I'm not here to impress you
I'm not the one who's insecure

Springtime, jesus, flower, firefly
Sister, sunday, winter, mother

Start learning to fall

I could never be like this
I could never be like this
Start learning how to fall down
Will you ever believe me?
Will you never be with me?
Start learning to crawl

Springtime, jesus, flower, mother


12.Wallflower

Two more days is all you ever wanted
Paint your face it's time to be social
Standing on the edge of your feeling
So special
Looking at the center of a downward
Circle

It's a side we offend
It's the work of a fool
It's the sign of a freak
Who's uncool

Nobody understands wallflower
Nobody gives a damn wallflower
Cannot get into you
Look what you made me do
Down, i'm so down
If you kiss the dirt
Well then you'd see my reflection

Look around and i start to laugh
No more need for photographs
Was there something you meant to say
As i walked away?

It's the way we collide
It's the way we connect
It's the way we confuse
So rude

No one will want from you
Haven't you got a clue?

Cannot get over you
Look what you put me through

Down, i'm so down
If you kiss the dirt
Well then you'd see my reflection
Intentions - aggressions - pretensions


13.London

I've been to london
I've sailed a ship around the world
I've counted angels
I've seen a tangerine girl

And though it's leading me on
And though i know that it's wrong
And though i'm living my dream
I still can't seem to move on

I've swallowed aspirin
I've seen the white of my own eyes
I've felt the hunger
I've swallowed handfuls of flies

I've watched the felines
I've watched them scratch
My skin away
I've tripped the land mines
I've watched them
Blow my face away

I still can't finish this song

As she sang on
