Pearl Jam (Album)
You're always saying that there's something wrong
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along
Death came around, forced to hear it's song
And know tomorrow can't be depended on
Seen the home inside your head
All locked doors and unmade beds
Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that
I have faced it, a life wasted and I'm never going back again
I escaped it, a life wasted and I'm never going back again
Having tasted, a life wasted and I'm never going back again
The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else
Nothing back there for you to find
Or was it you you left behind?
You're always saying you're too weak to be strong
You're harder on yourself than just about anyone
Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?
Darkness comes in waves... tell me
Why invite it to stay?
You're one with negativity
Yes, comfort is an energy
But why let the sad song play, hahaha
I have faced it, a life wasted and I'm never going back again
Oh I escaped it, a life wasted and I'm never going back again
Having tasted, a life wasted and I'm never going back again
Oh I erased it, a life wasted and I'm never going back again
I felt the earth on Monday
It moved beneath my feet
In the form of a morning paper
Laid out for me to see
Saw his face in a corner picture
I recognized the name
Could not stop staring at the
Face I'd never see again.
It's a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when a war has taken over?
It's the same everyday in a hell manmade
What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?
The whole world...World over
It's a worldwide suicide
Medals on a wooden mantle
Next to a handsome face
That the president took for granted
Writing checks that others pay
And in all the madness
Thought becomes numb and naive
So much to talk about
Nothing for to say
It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder
Laying claim to the take that our soldiers save
Does not equate, and the truth's already out there
The whole world,... World over
It's a worldwide suicide
The whole world,... World over
It's a worldwide suicide
Looking in the eyes of the fallen
You got to know there's another, another, another, another
Another way
It's a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when a war has taken over
It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder
The whole world,... World over
It's a worldwide suicide
The whole world,... World over
It's a worldwide suicide
Consider me an object
Put me in a vacuum
Free of all conditions
Free of air and friction
Yea, I'll be hanging upside down.
And there I will swing
For all eternity
Fell it rising, yea next stop falling
Feel it rising, comatose, with no fear of falling
Consider me an abscess
Leave me in my vacuum
Blood on all the pistons
Running my transmission
Feel it rising, yea next stop falling
Feel it rising, comatose, with no fear of falling
Feel it rising, yeah next stop falling
Feel It rising
High above I'll break the law,
If it's illegal to be in love,
Leave the hatred, on the cross
Yea I'll be hanging upside down and here I will swing
For all eternity
Feel it rising, yea next stop falling
Feel it rising, comatose with no fear of falling
Feel it rising, yea, next stop falling
Feel it rising
Something never thought you'd be part of
Big man stands behind an open door
Said, "leave your lady on the cement floor."
"Got some kicks, want to take a ride?"
I said, "Yeah!"
"Take your pick, leave yourself behind."
I said, "Yeah!"
I've no fear but for falling down
So look out below I am falling now
Oh please understand I just need, my friend
A way, a way, a way home
Tried to walk, found a severed hand
Recognized it from the wedding band
Said "It's ok, do you want some more?"
I said, "Yeah!"
"You'll see dragons after 3 or 4"
I said, "Yeah!"
"Understand I'm not falling down"
I said, "Look around, the room's taller now.",
I can't close my eyes, 'cause I see the sound in waves
In waves, lets me stay calm
If I don't lose control
Explore and not explode
A preternatural other plane
With the power to maintain
Like a tear in all we know
Once dissolved we are free to grow
What is human, what is more?
I'll answer this when I get home
There is a marker, no one sees it 'cause of sand
That has covered over all the messages it kept
From misunderstanding, what Original Truth was
And now expanding in a faith, but not in love, yea
What went wrong?
Walking tightrope high
Over moral ground
Seeing visions of
Falling up somehow
Oh do come down
With the living, let
What is living love
So unforgiving yet
Needing forgiveness first
God, what do you say?
Those undecided needn't have faith to be free
And those misguided there was a plan for them to be
Now you got both sides claiming "Killing in god's name".
But god is nowhere to be found, conveniently, yeah
What goes on?
Walking tightrope high
Over moral ground
Walk the bridges be-
-fore you burn them down!
Do come round
With the living, let
What is living love
Unforgiving yet
Needing forgiveness first
God, what do you say?
God, what do you say?
I feel a sickness, a sickness coming over me
Like watching freedom being sucked straight out to sea
And the solution? Well, from me far would it be
But the delusion is feeling dangerous to me, yeah
What goes wrong?
Walking tightrope high
Over moral ground
Seeing visions of
Falling up somehow
Oh, do come down
With the living, let
What is living love
Unforgiving yet
Needing forgiveness first?
Oh, what do you say?
God, what do you say?
What do you say?
Calling out, calling out
Calling out, calling out
Why deny all the troubles when combined
With the missing light it don't feel like home now
That your gone all the trouble suddenly explained infinitum
You're always wishing and never here at home
You all the dreams we shared and lights we turned on
But the house is getting dark
And I don't want to know your plans
But together share the dawn
And I won't need nothing else
'Cause when we're dead
We would've had it all
And I would've fallen from the sky to you
Parachutes have opened now
Heaven knows if there's a ceiling
Gone so low with the kneeling
Please know that
that I've got all the friends I need and
Before my light go out
As the doors are closing now
And far away will be my home
And the grass beside them blown
But I don't need
Further back and forth, a wave will break on me today
And love
Wish the world could glow again with love
One can't seem to have enough
And war
Break the sky and tell me what it's for
Travelling on my own
And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
He's got a big gold ring which says Jesus Saves
And it's dented from the punch thrown at work that day
When he smashed the metal locker where he kept his things
After the big boss say "You best be on your way"
So this life is sacrifice
Oh yeah, jumping trains just to survive
Well his wife and kids asleep but he's still awake
And his brain weighs the curse of thirty bills unpaid
Gets up, lights a cigarette, he's grown to hate
Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream, yeah
So this life is sacrificed
Oh yeah
To a stranger's bottom line
Oh yeah
I've seen the light, oho oh ohhhh oho oh ohhhh
I'm scared alive
Nearly dead
Oho oh ohhhh oho oh ohhhh
I've seen the light
Still alive
Yeah, so this life is sacrificed
Oh yeah
Was a dream that had to die
Oh yeah
I've seen the light, oho ohhh ohhhhh oho ohhh ohhhhh
I'm scared alive
Near to death
Oho ohhh ohhhhh oho ohhh ohhhhh
I've seen the light
Scared alive
Oho ohhh ohhhhh oooohoooo
I'm here to die
Here to die
Scared alive
Here to die
Here to die
Scared of life
I used to be crustacean, oh oh
In an underwater nation, yeah yeah
And I surf in celebration, oh oh
Of a billion adaptations, yeah yeah
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave
I feel the need
Planted in me
Millions of years ago
Can't you see?
The oceans size?
Defining time and tide
Arising arms laid upon me
Being so kind
To let me ride
I scream in affirmation, oh oh
Of connecting dislocations, yeah yeah
And exceeding limitations, oh oh
By achieving levitation, yeah yeah
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave
I feel the need
Planted in me
Millions of years ago
Can't you see
The oceans size?
Defining time and tide
Arising arms laid upon me
Being so kind
To let me ride
Got me a ride
I got me a ride
No more upset mornings
No more trying evenings
This American Dream
I am disbelieving
When the gas in my tank
Feels like money in the bank
Gonna blow it all this time
Take me one last ride
For the lights of the city
They only look good when I'm speeding
I wanna leave 'em all behind me 'cause this time
I'm gone
Long gone
This time I'm letting go of it all
So long
This time I'm gone
In the far off distance
As my tail lights fade
No one thinks to witness
But they will someday
Feel like a question is forming
And the answer's far
I will be what I could be
Once I get out of this town
For the lights of the city
They have lost all feeling
I wanna leave 'em all behind me 'cause this time
I'm gone
Long gone
Yeah, this time I'm letting go of it all
So long
Long gone, I'm letting go of it all
Yeah, this time I'm gone
If nothing is everything
If nothing is everything I'll have it all
If nothing is everything then I will have it all
I'm
I am gone
I have faced it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
Having tasted a life wasted
I'm never going back again
I escaped it a life wasted
I'm never going back... again
How long must she stand
Before the ground, it gives way
To an endless fall
She can feel this war on her face
The stars on her pillow
She's folding in darkness
Begging for slumber
I'm not blind
I can see it coming
Looks like lightning
In my child's eye
I'm not frantic
I can feel it coming
Violently shakes
My body
Her son's slanted
Always giving her
The sideways eye
The empty chair where dad sits
How loud can silence get?
And mom, she reassures
To contain him
But it's becoming a lie
She tells herself
And everyone else
Father is risking
His life for our freedoms
I'm not blind
I can see it coming
Looks like lightning
In my child's eye
I'm not frantic
I can feel it coming
Darling you'll save me
If you save yourself
If I keep holding out
Will the light shine through?
Under this broken roof
It's only rain that I feel
I've been wishin' out the days
Oh oh oh
Come back
I have been planning out
All that I'd say to you
Since you slipped away
Know that I still remain true
I've been wishin' out the days
Please say that if you hadn't have gone now
I wouldn't have lost you another way
From wherever you are
Oh oh oh oh
Come back
And these days, they linger on, yeah, yeah
And in the night, I've been waiting for
A real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
I go to sleep
If I don't fall apart
Will my memory stay clear?
So you had to go
And I had to remain here
But the strangest thing to date
So far away and yet you feel so close
I'm not going to question it any other way
It must be an open door for you
To come back
And the days they linger on, yeah
Every night I'm waiting for
The real possibility that I may need to end my pain
Sometimes you're there and you're talking back to me
Come the morning I could swear you're next to me
And it's ok
It's ok, it's ok
I'll be here
Come back, come back
I'll be here
Come back, come back
I'll be here
Come back, come back
Whoooo (4x)
Underneath this smile lies everything
All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
I make myself a pact not to shut doors on the past
Just for today I am free
I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
I know this one thing well
I used to try to kill love
It was the highest sin
Breathing insecurity out and in
Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight
Pursuing the greater way for all human light
How I choose to feel is how I am
How I choose to feel is how I am
I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
Oh, holding on, the light of night
On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul
Again
Let me run into the rain
To be a human light again
Let me run into the rain
To shine a human light today
Oh, life comes from within your heart and desire
Oh, life comes from within my heart and desire
Oh, life comes from within your heart and desire
Huuh, huuh
Yeaaah, yeaaah
Running away (?)
