Dead Can't Dance

Over the Hills
Where they call her name
She’s going back now
It’s getting late
Everything’s burned into my eyes
Dark of the sun never so bright

Ready or Not

Necrotizing of the flesh
Not everything is for the best
Sometimes it pays to keep that fact in mind
Building to the sacrifice
A calm wave that comes at a price
You never really know what lurks inside
Here it goes
Feed the crow
Only bones
Rot is on a roll
Then you’re on your own
Blink and bury
There it goes
Oh so cold
Throw no stones
Charon takes his toll
Then she’s going home
Mind, body, and soul
Ready or not
This is happening
Better give it some thought
You’re gonna feel everything
Ready or not
This is happening
Now you’re stuck to the spot
You’re gonna see everything
Ready or not
This is happening
Doesn’t care what you want
It’s gonna take everything

Ticks

Gotta get over it
Sticks and stones
Will break some bones
Be careful while juggling
All these thoughts
The torture of wondering
When she might go
Gotta get under it
Blanket of suffering
Tip them toes
Be silent when struggling
With your thoughts
The body is crumbling
Gone with the flow
My oh my
There goes her shine
It’s floating on the breeze
Watch it cry
As it shakes through the trees
Boy oh boy
Now what’s the time?
Been leaving like a dream
Watch it dance
As it slips through the seams
It’s coming for all of us
Just you wait, though
It’s coming for all of us
Nowhere to hide

Do You See Green?

To live, To wait
To realize Too late
To laugh, To cry
To follow, To die
To scream, To shout
Too callous, Too proud
Too good, Too pure
Too deadly To cure

Monster
03:18

I know a place where monsters roam
It’s in my heart and in my soul
But I know a place where love does grow
It’s in her heart and in her soul
But it’s gone

Betting on a dead horse
Going down the wrong course
Take a breath and count to ten
Looks can be deceiving
Her body is leaving
Never will we meet again
Woah
When the sun goes down
All the spirits gather around
To embalm the heart
With the process once it starts
And when there’s nothing left
There’s a lesson in the test
That the rest of us
Will inevitably rust
(Oh when nobody sees I’m on your side
You gotta believe I’m a part of you
Oh the birds and the trees, even the sky
You gotta believe I’m a part of it
And when you want to scream
You have the right
You gotta believe it’s a part of it
Oh when nobody sees, I’m by your side
I didn’t want to leave, It was just my time)
I’m going crazy
Can’t get you out of my mind
You’re so amazing
Tell it to you one more time
Love can’t be lazy
So I’ll be with you through the night
I was your baby
And now I have to watch you die

Anything

I/you/we can live through this
I/you/we can live through this
I/you/we can live through live through anything
I can live through this
I can find some bliss
I can live through live through anything
Don’t wanna live through this
Don’t wanna live through this
Don’t wanna live through live through
Anything
Under the feelings
I don’t want to share
There’s a hole in the world
that could swallow all prayers
And I’ll take it for granted
the myth is a lie
But what nobody tells you is
how the whole cries when
I can live through this
I can find some bliss
I can live through live through anything
I can live through this
I can find some bliss
I can live through live through anything But
Don’t wanna live through this
Don’t wanna find some bliss
Don’t wanna live through live through anything
Don’t wanna live through this
Don’t wanna feel the kiss
Don’t wanna live through live through anything

And Everything

I’m not that brave though
I know that you’re going away
I’m not okay though
I won’t let go of you
Hey now
Kick you while you’re still down
Silence that is so loud
Permeates the room
It’s almost over
Hairshirt
Hits you where it hurts
Oh how can this be worse?
Just stick around and see
It’s almost over
Hit the bottom with nowhere to go
We got five good years
Guess the monster was slowed down
Shot the hours like pigeons of clay
And now all the little shards
Are headed our way
Hit the bottom with nothing but shame
We got five good years
Now the chaos will reign
Hit the hours like nails on the head
Until everything you love
Is a corpse in a bed

And Nothing
05:25
|

I had a dream in the dark of the night
That we both believed in the signs of life
Then you opened your eyes
and I held you tight
And what had left was back to right
But in the end it was only a dream
A silly superstition
that it seems that I need
When everything is nothing
then the nothing can’t leave
And who could ask for more?
La la la, la la la, la la la, ooooo
I gave a shout in the light of the day
Like I swallowed the earth,
but only dirt remained
Did it bury my heart or put it on display?
Does it matter what I say?
Cause all the ends are
determined and mean
Just different situations
where you lose what you need
When everything is nothing
then the nothing can’t leave
And who could ask for more?
La la la, la la la, la la la, ooooo

To You
05:56

There is nothing fair about
the world or its crimes
And safety always dissipates
on the turn of a dime
But can’t escape, can’t turn away
Just go to sleep, it’s getting late
Staying on the lookout for the lie
But it didn't happen to you...
Bet it’s gonna happen to you
Bet it’s gonna happen too soon
Better it’s the knife that you choose
Guess it’s just about what you do
Bet it's gonna happen
Nothing ever separates the self like time
And death is always waiting in the wings
With soft eyes bright
Can’t be tamed, can’t obfuscate
Don’t engage, avert your gaze
Everything is hinging on the lie
I could never separate
the reason from the rhyme
And it is always hard for me
To say goodbye
But just you wait
Won’t hesitate
Favor was the fire that was lit
And it won’t go to waste
Always gonna keep you in my mind
And maybe we’ll find there’s another side
Silent on this ride
Asleep for miles
Not ready to give you back
To the wild
Every night I’m searching
For lost time
But I’m happy I got to be
Your child/son
