Blank Walls

The Observatory Blank Walls Lyrics
1.Acid Pills

Acid pills
Twice a day
Down to half a pack of smokes a day
Have a drink or two
When i've quit a few
Watch the habit catch up with you

Give me hope
Take me home
Gently rub my back i may breathe shallow
I never know these things
I'm afraid of things
Yes i might have blown a fuse or two you know

Maybe now
I may rest
Turn the sound of hustle-bustle off
I've always made mistakes
It's just my mental state
Watch the fear it keeps up with you

Some days are hard to get by

3.My Whole Life

My whole life
Follows me down the line
My whole life
Falls down the well
All my life drains from me
All i see is empty

Heaven has lost to hell
For all the world to see
All of life is clumsy
All i see is crazy

I would place your hands
In the common man's
So that you will lose your grip
I would hang your feet
On the highest peak
So that all your life is bleak
I would bite your tongue
Of the songs you've sung
And sell them to the street
I would break your stare
With utmost care

So that you may never seek

What a life
Buried beneath this ground
What a life
The sound of a baby crying
All of life is dying
All of death is alive


4.Oddball

Falling
Feeling
Hostiling
Bathing
Moonlight

Walling
Wailing
Hostiling
Gaping
What sky
What sky do you life

Saming
Laybelling
Sum-a-light-a-doubling
Home-a-long-a-lumbeling
Hostile
If fight fuck face

Falling
Failing


5.Sea of Doubts

No one heeds a warning
No one needs a warning
While their conscience goes a-sailing up
The river life is giving up
An intermittent howling
While your soul is prowling for
A conscience life is giving out
A conscious lie unfolding out

I know he's using me

All the leaves are burning
All the leads are turning up
Like dead-end streets and roundabouts
Cast across the sea of doubts
My confidence is waning
My confidence is fading from
The lives they have been selling out
The lies they have been handing out

I know he's using me
I know she's using me

No one has a way in
No one has a way to lift the burden life has given us
For better or the very worse
No one gives a howling
No one gives a flying fuck
If this is just the way it is
Then this will be the way it is

I know he's using me


6.Failed Recollections of a Fool

I couldn't be everything that you want me to be
I must have tried but i can't quite recall it
I couldn't be everything when there's nothing in me
I must have tried but now i'm tired and empty

Where did i leave my head
Where did i leave you
When have i ever said
'Where did i leave you'

I couldn't be someone that i've never been
I must have tried but then i'm just an imitation
I couldn't be perfect
Not when i'm so forgetful can i
I must have denied
All my inklings of madness

You must have seen when the daylight comes in that i'm still
blind with Unreason
You must have seen clearly you have and now you run from me
Away from me
When i couldn't be
I'll never be

Where did i leave my head
Where did i leave you
When have i ever said
'Where did i leave you'
Oh i forget


7.Finch

When your eyes are green
You're mean
When your eyes are bright
You're right
When your eyes are brown
You frown
When your eyes are red
You lose your head


8.I Didn't See Her

I saw the sunlight
I saw the moonlight
But i didn't see her
I couldn't see her

Free as the morning
Free as the evening
But you're never free here
And i'm never free here

I saw the sunshine
I saw the moonshine
Who wouldn't live here
I couldn't live here

Give me a new life
Give me a new life
Free as the morning
Free as the evening


9.A Good Thing

What excites me
What defies my common sense
What makes up for what is lacking in the end

Finally found an answer deep in you
And then you lose it
And it's true
When it's just too much of a good thing

No one likes me when i act like this
What possessed me to behave like this

I'm afraid to lose my mind

And then i lose it
And it's true
When it's just too much of a good thing


10.Strength From the Sun

I wish i got my strength from the sun

Long time ago
No one told me
That i will always change
Long time ago
Like a golden oldie
It spins in the air
And makes it strange

I wish i got my strength from the sun

Long time ago
No one told me
That i am not the same
Long time ago
No one told me
I spin in the air
And make it strange

I wish i got my strength from the sun
