There Is No Enemy

Built To Spill There Is No Enemy Lyrics
1.Aisle 13

know what
good you've done
seems like
on just a whim
no one
can be on
all sides
at once

every day
something strange
I can't explain
happens to me
often I
am called by name
to clean up
aisle 13

no one knows cuz no one wants
to know what they might find
no one sees cuz no one wants
to see whats in their mind....

don't be all
so all afraid
everyone
has weird dreams
one day I'll
come home to find you
covered with ants
cuz you're so sweet

no one knows cuz no one wants
to know what they might find
no one sees cuz no one wants
to see whats in their mind....


2.Hindsight

hindsight's giving me
too much memory
there's too much never seen
but it's always there
cuz it's everywhere

taking my own advice
worked out for me nice
but now I come to find
the tricks we play
with human brains

they don't want to think about the other side
is that grass just greener cuz it's fake
cuz that's all that we've been told
since we were five years old
is that all we'll ever know

hindsight brings me down
it keeps me on the ground
and though I'm never proud
I wouldn't dare
if you weren't there

the thing with gettin' up
feels like giving up
feels like not enough
you eat a crumb
and waste a loaf

they don't want to talk about the other side
where the grass was greener than they said
cuz this doesn't bring to mind
what I'd expect to find
they must be color blind

what about canada
what about canada
this paradise
of pines and ice

morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping
bad into ideas was no surprise
we'll wait till the wild has rights
the never lock doors at night
and kiss all those wars goodbye


3.Nowhere Lullaby

well the stakes of the game seemed fine
till you lost after all this time
has to make you cry
but you don't and you don't know why

trying not to solve this
doesn't mean it's not that bad

and everyone gets through the night
and everyone wakes up all right
and the fear you feel will pass
then a calmness that will last
we will learn to drift off fast

another nowhere lullaby
you can rest or you can try
and this waste it shines in every way
and this waste it shines in every way

you make me laugh every single day
and you hardly make me cry
made fifteen years fly by
still here and I don't know why

has it been that long
where's the time and the table gone

hope it's longer than that now
don't forget we don't know how
and every one gets feeling down
but everybody understands
we're all doing what we can

another nowhere lullaby
you can rest or you can try
and this waste it shines in every way
and this waste it shines in every way


4.Good Ol' Boredom

break out the water
kinda celebrate
welcome back good old boredom
not so bad seems so great

it's nice that it's not that exciting
after all we've been through
when nothing hurts and no one's dying
most my dreams have come true

and we see are wrongs to right
they're everywhere
the truth is rolling out of sight
and out of mind

and all we want is anything
that'll take our minds
off this nonstop anxiety
for a time

inside my mind incessant chatter
when will these brain cells cut me some slack
maybe I'm not smart enough to think of things to think about
that matter
or afraid that once I think some things there's no going back

and we see are wrongs to right
they're everywhere
the truth is rolling out of sight
and out of mind

and all we want is anything
that'll take our minds
off this nonstop anxiety
for a time


5.Life's A Dream

miles till dawn
but it feels so dark till then
drowns you out
but you can't be too certain

common wants
only fill me up with need
everybody
in this world is just like me

so I row on

sounds like fear
thinking there might be a cure
waste your life
but you don't know it's worth

comb your mind
for all the treasures of this earth
too close to find
anything inside yourself

so why row on

life ain't nothing
but a dream
realistic
as it seems

destiny's vulgar
so I might as well resist
out of the darkness
and all the secrets still exist

finally decided
and by decide I mean accept
I don't need all those
other chances I won't get

so why row on

life ain't nothing
but a dream
realistic
as it seems


6.Oh Yeah

And if god does exist
I am sure he will forgive
Me for doubting for he'd see
How unlikely he himself seems


7.Pat

Pat we need your brains back
Pat we need your fire
and your imagination

Pat we know you fucked up
but we don't care you fucked up
everybody's fucked up

thought I heard your voice
the other night
and sure enough it came
from you
thought I'd be surprised
that you weren't dead
but all I was was glad

just sitting by your bed
and talking to your head
and hearing what you said
as if you'd never left

can't you see yourself yet
can't you see through our eyes
can't you see the truth

nothing's worse than never
falling in a dream's where
we can see together

saw you the other night
have to say
something wasn't right
of course
but I didn't mind
cuz seeing you
being all alive

just walkin in the room
made me so relieved
like everything was fine
and you had never died
or second guessed your mind
or gave up on our trust
thought you'd gone too far
for us to take you back
but distances like that, Pat
don't exist in fact


8.Done

loneliness is getting hard to perceive
seems it never comes or it never leaves
every day we step into some deceit
this should bring the ill-defined to their feet

it's forgiven
it's for you
all your problems
will come true
said it once
I'll say it once again
this won't make you happy

all I want is you to make up your mind
to come on down and linger here for a while
all I know is what I wanted to say
disappeared and has yet to be replaced

it's forgiven
it's for you
all your problems
will come true
it's already done
it's already done
it's already done


9.Planting Seeds

I'd hand it to time if I knew where the time had gone
the connoisseurs were wrong
and so was everyone else

I know what they're saying cuz that's all they talk about
just need to figure out
some shit for myself

and just because it's obvious doesn't mean it's even true
heard it all and I believe that we deserve another point of view

we can make it if we try
and if we don't it's gonna still be alright

cuz our minds are still alive
and we can decide what's right

make up your mind make up your own mythology
afraid of finding me
and of defining you

take what you want but you won't want it where your at
I know this for a fact
just because it's so true

the first place my mind goes is where I never want it to
like where it hurts the most or all the stupid shit I say and do

you can make it if you try
and if you don' it's gonna still be all right

cuz our minds are still alive
and we can decide why

telling me thousands of times what's next to want
just doing their job but you know that's a dirty job
can't stand this game still we're bullied to play along

when bullies grow up they get meaner
yeah they really get it down

they think that they get it but they always get it wrong
they'll play your favorite song
just to sell shit to you

I've heard that they'll sell anything and I think they might
I think Bill Hicks was right
about what they should do

and just because you love something doesn't mean it's yours to
buy
been selling it so long that no one even knows the reason why
you've been messing with our minds
gettin' rich wasting our time


10.Things Fall Apart

came into the darkness from out of the blue
I don't know much but I know what to do
froze in my mind I believed it so long
alright I'll admit I was wrong

stay out of my nightmares stay out of my dreams
you're not even welcome in my memories
when things are alright and I want what I got
it' only momentarily thought

fade out ...

if no one thinks of no one
then no one believes in no one
and no one fucks with no one
when no one's afraid of no one

we've all seen enough now it's time to decide
the meekness of love or the power of pride
it doesn't matter if you're good or smart
goddamn it things fall apart

let's go for a walk yeah let's go for a drive
don't know how to say thanks for being alive
let's go for a lifetime let's go for a fling
don't know how to say anything


11.Tomorrow

waiting
for our answers
this cancer's
common as sand

what happens
here stays here
cuz no one
anywhere else gives a damn

all said and done
who's gonna bother remembering
all dead and gone

like anyone assuming
they know what makes us tick
I was just as wrong as I could be
only knowing that
explained alot

the more you have to live for
the more you love your life
the harder it will be for you to die
and we all want
(living and) dying easy

seems like eternity
but it's just one lifetime
how can a love that
unforbidden be so strong
there's something wrong with me
I try to forget

I try to forget
but my memory
won't fail me now

it's wonderful and scary
knowing what's alive
a tree, a rock, a turtle, or a thought
that's what makes me wanna
never die

at least we have tomorrow
if we have tomorrow
tomorrow's just a day beyond today
if tomorrow
comes tomorrow

seems like eternity
but it's just one lifetime
how can a love that
unforbidden be so strong
there's something wrong with me
I try to forget
I try to forget
I try to forget
I try to forget
I try to forget
