Absence

Paper Route Absence Lyrics
1.Enemy Among us

Fell into a hole my ears were ringing.
Followed every rule and kept repeating.
Could I be a fool?

In the silence, you're the first on that I turn to.
You're the first voice that I turned to.
In the absence of my own.

There's and enemy among us.
There's an enemy among us
And he stole as best he could.
He stole as best he could.

An enemy among us.
There's and enemy among us.
He stole as best he could.
Our hearts like an enemy should.

And when I awake my friends were sleeping.
I put on my coat to keep from freezing.
Something isn't right.

In the silence, you're the first on that I turn to.
You're the first voice that I turned to.
In the absence of my own.

There's and enemy among us.
There's an enemy among us
And he stole as best he could.
He stole as best he could.

An enemy among us.
There's and enemy among us.
He stole as best he could.
Our hearts like an enemy should.

In the silence, you're the first on that I turn to.
You're the first voice that I turned to.
In the absence of my own.

There's and enemy among us.
There's an enemy among us
And he stole as best he could.
He stole as best he could.

An enemy among us.
There's and enemy among us.
He stole as best he could.
Our hearts like an enemy should.


2.Wish

Where have I landed I don't quite remember
I fell to pieces one night in December
Pictures in boxes remind me of something
I miss the days when our fingers were touching
The memories of losing you, you're like a ghost
Tracing where I said to you

I wish you would listen
I wish you would listen
I wish you would listen
To get through it
I wish you would listen
I wish you would listen
I wish you would listen
To get through it
To get through it

All my decisions were just second guesses
Looking for love like a bride looks for dresses
Every mistake turned to some sort of yearning
A heart that was hollow has filled up with meaning
The memories of losing you, you're like a ghost
Tracing where I said to you

I wish you would listen
I wish you would listen
I wish you would listen
To get through it
I wish you would listen
I wish you would listen
I wish you would listen
To get through it
To get through it


3.Carousel

You and I are gonna get it right
Don't let me go
It takes two to make a leader but
One has to follow

Help me, help me understand
What we've become
I found a God who never seems to
Play the victim

On and on and on we go
Just like a carousel that's lost control
And we don't know why, we don't know why
We go and go and go in circles

I wanna change more than anything
Just as you're leaving
Every room is an apology
That's lost it's meaning

You and I, I think we're better off
We found each other
And what's right, we are the
We're spinning further

On and on and on we go
Just like a carousel that's lost control
And we don't know why, we don't know why
We go and go and go in circles

On and on and on we spin
To - ends, beneath begins
We don't know why, we don't know why
We go we go we go in circles

On and on and on we go
Just like a carousel that's lost control
And we don't know why, we don't know why
We go and go and go in circles

On and on and on we go
Just like a carousel that's lost control
And we don't know why, we don't know why
We go we go we go in circles


4.Good Intentions

Am I alone in the city lights?
Am I alone when the moments right?
Am I?
Did I complain that Im feeling used?
Is it you?
Is it you?
Its never enough.

I want to be your heart that breaks
I want to be your hiding place
I want to be your one solution;
I just got no execution.

Are all my dreams finally coming true?
Is everybody in love with you?
Are they?
Dont have a clue how I got this way
Is it you?
Is it you?
Its never enough.

I want to be your silhouette
I want to be your TV set
I want to be your one solution;
I just got no execution.

I want to be your hear that breaks
I want to be your hiding place
I want to be your one solution
I just got no execution.

I want to be your stitching thread
I want to be your fountainhead
I want to be your one solution
I just got no execution


5.Tiger Teeth

You have my attention
You're cutting through the silence
Cutting through my heart
Milk teeth couldn't hold me
You thought I would surrender
It's pulling us apart

So I try try try try try
I can never get it right
Will I ever get it right my baby
So I try try try try try
I can never get it right
Will I ever get it right my baby

Nothing I could ever fuel your
Appetite for reasons
You're always wanting more
You've trapped my attention
And I can almost hear you
You're right outside the door

So I try try try try try
I can never get it right
Will I ever get it right my baby
So I try try try try try
I can never get it right
Will I ever get it right my baby

You have tiger teeth
Wrapped around me I swear
You have tiger teeth
Wrapped around me I swear
You have tiger teeth
I'm begging you I swear

So I try try try try try
I can never get it right
Will I ever get it right my baby
So I try try try try try
I can never get it right
Will I ever get it right my baby

So I try try try try try
I can never get it right
Will I ever get it right my baby
So I try try try try try
I can never get it right
Will I ever get it right my baby


6.Be Healed

Sleepwalking the streets tonight
Every step could change my mind
Even if I change that's alright
Can I be healed?... Be healed

When it rains you stay inside
Kiss kiss kiss those days good bye
You say that I've changed that's alright
Can I be healed? Be healed

Come on come on
Can I be healed?
Come on come on
Can I be healed?
Come on come on
Can I be healed?

Keep the blood beneath the light
Nature is the curse we fight
People say I've changed that's alright
Can I be healed? Be healed

Come on, come on my love
Come on, come on my love
Can I be healed? Be healed
Can I be healed?


7.Last Time

I wanna give up again my love and live like a runaway.
Making bands in an alley way, so I can dream of a better day.
Is there anyone left who will understand i am made of flesh and
bone.
I tried to tell you on the telephone, all I needed was a
stepping stone.

This is the last time
I'm gonna let you down.
It's finally over.
It's finally over.

Every time I try to go to sleep you flood my memory.
Though I live like an absentee, all I care is that you'll reach
for me.
I'm gonna burn that bridge and build build a home with waters
weaving underground (let you go).
Livin' high and searching for the sound, a silent wall and we
tore it down.

This is the last time
I'm gonna turn around.
It's finally over.
It's finally over.

This is the last time
I'm gonna let you down.
It's finally over.
It's finally over.

This is the last time
I'm gonna turn around.
It's finally over.
It's finally over.

This is the last time
I'm gonna let you down.
It's finally over.
It's finally over.

Let me hold your hand my dear at least until the smoke has
cleared.
Our love has turned towards your eye I don't know why I go in
circles.
...for to fame Yea I could find recovery.
In every single lonely ride I don't know why I go in circles.


8.No Sudden Revelations

Will you leave me?
I won't leave you
Do you need me
Like I need you?
All those secrets
How I need you

Will you leave me?
I won't leave you
Do you need me
Like I need you?
All those secrets
How I need you

Don't you walk away this time
Our love is more memory than time
There are no sudden revelations


9.Gutter

I dreamt I was a child
Holding a sting into the sky
Climbing it till I finally reached the other side
A city of gold
A beautiful noise
A blanket of sound
Covering me
Pulling the sky into the ground

I get carried away
Please
Warm the blood inside my veins
I get carried away
Please
Warm the blood inside my veins

I stand on the air
Hovering high over the Earth
I stare at the star
As she is waiting to give birth
You are the voice that I can hear
And now I can see
I am a photograph of who I use to be

I get carried away
Please
Warm the blood inside my veins
I get carried away
Please
Warm the blood inside my veins


10.Are We All Forgotten

Years ago I met my lover
On the banks of the stormy Jordan
Years ago I met my lover
How I wish that we could meet again

Have I lost my faith in you?
Are we all forgotten to?

Don't you break my heart
Don't you break my heart again
Don't you break my heart
Don't you break my heart again

I still believe that change can happen
Though it's hard and it happens slowly
I still believe forgiveness comes with love
And God when it washes over me

If we've all forgotten you
Are we all forgotten to?

Don't you break my heart
Don't you break my heart again
Don't you break my heart
Don't you break my heart again

So what are you waiting for?
So what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
So what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?

Don't you break my heart
Don't you break my heart again
Don't you break my heart
Don't you break my heart again


11.Lovers' Anthem

So many dreams I'd like to forget
The moment I wake I wanna sleep again
I want the kiss I'll never get
To be awake without awakening
Without awakening
Without awakening
Without awakening

So many things I'd like to forget
I make up our bed and try to sleep in it
I want the kiss without regret
I make up my mind and lie awake in it
I lie awake in it
I lie awake in it
I lie awake in it

Shaking my fist an open hand
I am never gonna sleep again
I'm not awake at all
I've been awakening all along
All along
All along
All along
All along


12.Dance On Our Graves

I hear something out there callin' my name.
No matter where I turn it all looks the same.
I never sleep at night, I just stay up and wait.
But the burning in my blood never came.

Will I know it?
Will I know it?
Will I know it when I see it?
Will I know it?
Will I know it?
Will I know it when you're here?

I need you now,
I need you more than ever before, before.
I need you now,
I need you more than ever before, before.

I know the man I am is not who I should be.
The Devil take my hand says, 'Child come with me.'
My body shivers and aches. I can't break free.
Why do the things I hate come so naturally?

Will I know it?
Will I know it?
Will I know it when I see it?
Will I know it?
Will I know it?
Will I know it when you're here?

I need you now,
I need you more than ever before, before.
I need you now,
I need you more than ever before, before.

I need you now,
I need you more than ever before, before.
I need you now,
I need you more than ever before.

When we see the light when we're going home.
We'll dance on our graves with our bodies below.
We'll sing glory and Hallelujah.
