Yours As Fast As Mine

The Main Drag Yours As Fast As Mine Lyrics
1.How We'd Look On Paper

Sorry eyes
And it's not like me
Canonized like frozen faces on the walls
I would lie
But it's not like me
Taking sides to bend or break the paper walls

All the people you let down
That you could bury underground
And get your mind back into hell
Where it belongs

So I recover
So I have the time to shake it off
While we recover
We'd rather dust the nails beneath the boards

All the people you let down
That you could bury underground
And get your mind back into hell
Where it belongs

And still we don't believe in it
We're taking steps to show we care
We're coming out
We're coming out
We're coming clean

And still we don't believe in it
The subtle hints, the sunny glare
The little pouts
All going in
And coming out

The everything's of left astrays
Rotting losts of castaways
You were never so ambitious anyway

Little lights where people go
Fluorescent days, fluorescent glow
Pieces put will fall apart
Cases shut but never cause

Little lights where people go
Fluorescent days, fluorescent glow
Pieces put will fall apart
Cases shut but never cause


2.Swine Houses

As I lay awake
I hear clappin' from inside the walls, so it
Must be my mistake
I spend hours trying to lock the doors, but they
Always come right in
They want bones hidden in the boards
I could show you
Where the safe is still

Yours as fast mine
It's all black inside the house, you send
All of your children
Take all who are willing

Yours as fast mine
It's all black behind, inside, you send
All of your children
Take all who are willing

Think I might have sent
The wrong copy of my diary
Re-connects the dots
From the treasure to the misery if I
Live to tell your tale
Of a haunted house and jamboree
Would i go live
Outside again?

If you're still scared of others
Then just crawl back in your covers (whoa)
If you still care for others
Then you sleep outside your covers (whoa, oh)
If you still hate the shadows
And the headlights from the windows (whoa, whoa oh) yours as
fast as mine!
If you still fear the sounds and
All the swine within your houses (whoa, whoa oh)
Show me all the tricks you fell for
And tell me what you're going to hell for (whoa, whoa)
Yours as fast as mine!
It's all black behind inside!


3.A Jagged Gorgeous Winter

Winter taking days
Nights filled with longer hours
Hey
Nights filled with longer hours (hey) x3

Winter solstice
Passing by us
Temperatures dropping
Try us
With colder feelings

Black ice and hidden lusts
Worn sheets of snow concealing
Gloves on hands
With warmer flaps
Plastic sleds cracking
The new lead chance
Huddling against the wall
Shrinking college trends
With the days living faster now
We cast our main pretends
Extra heat demands
Rising comes to power
Darkness making days

Nights filled with longer hours
Hey x2
Nights filled with longer hours (hey) x2

Gotta jagged gorgeous winter from a summers thread
All the lies you told about me they were totally, totally,
totally true
Thinking through the noise you get back to bed
With your tinker tinker toys
You gotta think it, think it, think it, think it through. (x3)
Drag it out...


4.Love During Wartime

And we could try and not be over, the morning child has sat
sustained.
And if we cant fight, then we cant find it.
And if we can't write, then we can't find.

And it's a common place affliction i love,
We all know fighting's crazy.
And she shook her head, cause you can't get enough
All the reasons fighting's crazy.
Our time is vacant on my mind,
But if we can't fight then we can't find it.

I don't know,
When things will be,
Back in our control.
When will we,
Move back home?
And make believe,
The city's so much better,
Just stay inside your better off
Dead!

And we could try and not be over, the evening child knows who's
to blame.
And she's as is; a common place affliction i love.
We all know fighting's crazy,
Our time is vacant on my mind.
And if we can't fight, then we can't find it.

I don't know,
When things will be,
Back in my control.
When will we,
Move back home?
And make believe,
The city's so much better,
Just stay inside your better off
Dead!


5.Car Windows

I think too much, and it
Comes back to haunt me later
I could turn it up, but it
Won't make my heart beat louder
I wanna know what is
Made of gilded brass
And what is really made of gold
Like the condensation on my car windows
My car window-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohs

(silly synth interlude)

Crazy like my dad i've been
Burning like a dollar bill, i'm
21 years mad if I
Sink and save my heart away and
Give you all I had, would you
Beat the path inside of me and
Make pretend i'm dad
Through the condensation on these car windows
These car windows

(string crescendo and ...
weepy, uplifting strings)

And what I really wanna know
Is what's theirs and what's just made for them to show
Do you really wanna grow old?
You always gotta give in when you are told

(strings, guitar outro)


6.Montana

All the terrible times
we fought for
And all the relevant minds
we thought for, we fell for.

Like all your cannibal kinds
lay down for, lay down now, laid useless
Like all your cannibal kinds
Like all your cannibal kinds
Dead and useless

Like all your cannibal kinds
Like all your cannibal kinds
Dead and useless

I tried to make it fit (x4)


7.What's Yr Favorite Dinosaur?

I ride wrecking machines, wrecking machines
Through history and the pressure

Sprawled out out and living asleep and living asleep through
history and the pressure

It's more like heaven
The trash is on display
(2x)

I thought i'd fly like crazy
Over all the spaces
Sprawled out
And you crawl back down

Typewriters never extinct, and never extinct
Alive and dead in the pressure
Angels plastic and cheap, and plastic and cheap
In your sleeve on your shoulder

It's more like heaven
Shoulder
The trash is on display
(2x)

I thought i'd fly like crazy
Over all the spaces
Sprawled out
And you crawl back down
Sprawled out
And you crawl back down


8.Dove Nets

All the little doves that won't come down
All the little mights in your mind
All the little doves that won't come down
All the fatal rites you despise

No such thing as a short recovery
Sewing sewing, so what?

Your blood veins, they frame a lottery
Sew! so? sew! sewing! so what?

In your bones again
What's beautiful?
Your empty nets

All the little dreams in your head (x2)
Are beautiful and dead
(repeat)

All the little doves that won't come down
All the little mights in your mind
All the little doves that won't come down
All the fatal rites you despise


9.Taking Apart A Gigantic Machine

So I hurt my hands again
(hands running circles on and on)
Disassembling what's familiar
(hands running circles)
But dismantling me instead
(hands running circles on and on)
With calloused hands on dying embers
(hands running circles)
And while you think you're making sound when
(hands running circles on and on)
You're alone and yelling timber
(hands running circles)
So i trust my hands again
(hands running circles on and on)
From march until september
(hands running circles)

It's the ground that makes us
It's twice contagious
Your heart is ticking sixty-one seconds wrong

It's the lives that you tried
And you tried
It's the space that taints us
So frail and careless
Your heart is slowly broken on and on
It's the lives that you tried
And you tried

I guess they're gone
It's the fog that comes at night
Don't you think it's the first time
That you watch the kite spiral the sky

I guess they're gone
It's the space you watch in fright
All that makes you sleep inside
The machine that loved you all this time

And while the gears are scraping all our skin
(hands running circles on and on)
And the LEDs are lying
(hands running circles)
I see your face is frowning oh so thin
(hands running circles on and on)
But the corners of your eyes are smiling
(hands running circles)

It's the ground that makes us
It's twice contagious
Your heart is ticking sixty-one seconds wrong

It's the lives that you tried and you tried
It's the space that taints us
So frail and careless
Your heart is slowly broken on and on
It's the lives that you tried
And you tried

I guess they're gone
It's the space you watch in fright
All that makes you sleep inside
The machine that loved you all this time

I guess they're gone
It's the fog that comes at night
Don't you think it's the first time
That you watch the kite spiral the sky

HEY

I guess they're gone

HEY

I guess they're gone

HEY

I guess they're gone

HEY

rou-ee-on-ee-on-eee-onnnnnn


10.Even Seconds

Once and once again
You pretend to know your friends
And once and once again
Over the top
Over again
(repeat)

So i sold my gun to true love loved
And i rest my sun for blue love loved
And i feel life turning around
And i see your face in the ground
So i left my girl and returned
And i felt my swell go over and over and over and over the top

And i feel like turning around
And i cry cry till you surround
(kicking and screaming and we are not burning out loud)
And the shyness turns to grey
So i slide back down, over and over and over and over the top


11.Goodnight Technologist

Yours as fast as mine
Faster days and nights

It goes
Ohhoohhhohhhohh
Ohhoohhhohhhohh

Acting out of line
Over gaps and drawings

It goes
Ohhoohhhohhhohh
Ohhoohhhohhhohh
Ohhoohhhohhhohh
Good night

Passively resigned
What if when I close my eyes
The burns are still pretend?
The words are still pretend?

Shinning caught my eyes
Best friends in their binds

It goes
Ohhoohhhohhhohh
Ohhoohhhohhhohh
Ohhoohhhohhhohh
Good night.

These faded lines
They're a perfect fit
By the time it's good night
We'll be over it
(3x)

We'll be over it

These faded lines
They're a perfect fit
By the time it's good night
We'll be over it
(3x)

Now it's too fast
I won't follow
I can't see what's going on
(2x)

I can't see what's going on.
I can't see what's going on.
I can't see what's going on.
I can't see what's going on.
I can't see what's going on.
I can't see what's going on.
I can't see what's going on.
