Captain Black Heart | LYRICS
01 Seven Years
Growing trees like leaves
Up to the sky, there’s no turning back
So tell me, are you all right?
Don’t let them take you
Don’t let anyone take your soul
Don’t let them feel like they’re in
Your head, my head – ‘cause I’m
Going away to see if they’re are brighter days
Where I might feel more like myself
And feel like holding on
Holding on to something
Kidding yourself
I will be there
I will follow
And I’ll wait
Wait all the way
And if I fail
This will be the last time you’ll hear from me
Somewhere in this galaxy
There’s a place where we all think the same
Hey you with your own ideas
Where you think you’re going with them?
Are you sure?
Or are you just bringing them to show me?
Hanging ‘round this tourist town
Eats you up and spits you out
And it seems so pretty
Running, hiding, feeling something
Loving someone - butterflies in my stomach
Listen to me talk in circles
Always loving myself
Always hating myself
Always selling myself out
02 Souvenirs
Through these eyes I find
I’m a lot like you
You save me from a boring day
I know everything about you
I wake in the morning just to step outside
To see if the light shinning bright is true
Or something I made up
Numb myself in the greenest grass
And pray to God that it lasts
The rain, it keeps fallin’
The pain, it keeps lovin’
What makes me feel this way
I want it to go away
So I went for a walk
And I tried to talk
No one heard
Then you dance in the street
Is there enough to eat?
You’re one of the few
Selfish me and selfish you
Make me do what you want me to
Just cut my strings
And puppet things
I don’t wanna do what you tell me to
The rain, it gets harder
The fear, it gets prouder
What makes me feel this way
I want it to go away
03 Needle
I was walking
Through the doorway
When you came
I was searching
For a feeling
I just don’t get
So I wrote you
A little letter
What to say
The way that you love me
Is like a needle in my vein
The way you look inside it
I do it again
I was certain
That I would never get away
A fire burning
It hasn’t found its way
To the water yet
04 Once For A Change
I’m hanging on to every word you say
It feels like it’s getting away
Leaves are falling, summer’s slipping away
The time it takes to reminisce about this
Is the time it takes away from moving on
Breathing’s getting harder, the longer it takes
So once for a change
I want to believe
In every word that you say
Before it gets away
Take me to the time we laughed about everything
In between the moon and the stars
The places and people that we should be
Am I dragging you down?
Before it gets away
05 Flying Skeletons
Breathe
Cause I want you to
Breathe
All your soul promised you
If I could only be the one to show you that
We all will live forever
Fly
Cause I want you to
Fly
And fade into you
‘Cause it’s so hard to find
A place that’s still
I know, I feel it too
Believe me
Sit in the grass
Sit in your house
Sit in your room
And take your time just doing
What you’re meant to do
It’s all your soul promised you
We all come down
06 Feet
Wanna get my feet back on the ground
I don’t wanna make a sound
Don’t wanna hear it out loud
As the walls come down
And we all fall out
And everything becomes normal
The storm that I thought would blow over
Seems to be the way things just might stay
Where do you go when everything’s wrong
I tried to write it all down
It helps me belong
In a crowd of faces that could be wrong
They all sing their song
Hey darling, do you realize you’ll always be alone
I climb on in waves
Only see if there’s a light
I start to breath along with the trees
It takes on a life of its own
So gather round
This candle burning out, yeah
I climb on in ways
Only see if there’s a light
I start to breath along with the trees
I feel all right, but don’t know if I am
So gather around
This old clown
It’s better that way
It’s better, better that way
07 Bomb Shelter
I'm trying to understand, the meaning of this land
As I sit and watch it fill me with doubt
I'm trying to figure out, things that have a meaning
In all the things that I love, in all the things I
Can't live without
There I go again
Under the shelter, I found when I met her
You don't even know how beautiful you are
Fear is a thought and a thought can
Be held in forever or released
I was hiding in a southern forest
Now everything's changing
I must have been blinded
By the storm clouds before
I don't see them anymore
I don't fear them anymore
With you
