Transistor - Lyrics

First Time Again

When I look into your eyes
I know there is nothing
Better for me to ever find
But I'll keep on searching
There's a storm brewing inside
Keep your heart out of your mind
It's like I've said a million times
We're going round in circles

And it feels like
Tthe first time
Again

It's easier to see the sky
When we all lay back and die
Sit and watch the vultures fly
They're going round in circles
And when the silence drowns out sound
Everything will turn around
Sit and watch the world go by
We're going round in circles

And it feels like
Tthe first time
Again
And it feels like
Tthe first time
Again

There are times I'd like to forget
All the things I don't know yet
I wear my heart upon my sleeve
Cause a broken one's in my chest

And it feels like
Tthe first time
Again
And it feels like
Tthe first time
Again
Again

The Painter

Let's see where it goes
Flesh our the parts unknown
And fill the night's canvas with unfamiliar scene
Follow without direction
A feeling for connection
The next thing i know your aiming at me

Paint me a sound
Don't play the blues out loud
I'll follow your brushstrokes down any road
Down any road
For now I'll keep my head down
And my ear to the ground
Whoa and let's just see where it goes
Nobody knows

And who really knows?
Apart from the unknown
We'll disect a piece that speaks to me
Oooh..Texture what you will
The paint spills like words fill
We'll bottle it up so the world can't see

Paint me a sound
Don't play the blues out loud
I'll follow your brushstrokes down any road
Down any road
For now I'll keep my head down
And my ear to the ground
Whoa and let's just see where it goes
Nobody knows

Hurt You

Woke up this morning in a haze
I've been out of it for a couple of days
Last thing I remember I called to say goodbye
There's always a reason but I can't say why
Because

I didn't want hurt you
Because
I couldn't tell you
I didn't want hurt you
Because
I couldn't tell you

You always follow me around in your car
Then one day you took it a little too far
On the case from morning til night
Black is black but when the black turns white
Because

I didn't want hurt you
Because
I couldn't tell you, no no
I didn't want hurt you
Because
I couldn't tell you

I didn't want hurt you
Because
I couldn't tell you, no no
I didn't want hurt you
Because
I couldn't tell you, no no no

I didn't want hurt you
Because
I couldn't tell you, no no
I didn't want hurt you
Because
I couldn't tell you, no no no

Glimpse

Rising to the surface
A simple breath to take
A rare look at something beautiful
A moment to embrace
There's a certain tranquility
An ocean between you and me
We may talk a different language
But we understand the same

A glimpse of you lasts a lifetime
And it's good to know you're always there
A heart beating miles away
To live another day
A glimpse of you lasts a lifetime

Moving so freely
You're a sight to be seen
But your hunted so madly
They'll wanna wipe you out clean
You've given me a purpose
Something worth fighting for
A reason worth living
And wanting to see more

A glimpse of you lasts a lifetime
And it's good to know you're always there
A heart beating miles away
To live another day
A glimpse of you lasts a lifetime

A glimpse of you lasts a lifetime
And it's good to know you're always there
A heart beating miles away
To live another day
A glimpse of you lasts a lifetime

Oooooh
A heart beating miles away
To live another day
A glimpse
Of you

Shallow

I've stepped in deeper puddles than you
I believed every lie you told me was true
You said I don't mean anything to you
Take a look in the mirror
Cause, I hope you like the view

You're shallow
Don't want to drown in you
You're shallow
Transparent and untrue

I never felt it in your eyes
And i've been stepped on for the last time
You've taken somehting you'll never get
A soul.
A heart.
That's just where it starts
But it hasn't hit you yet.

You're shallow
Don't want to drown in you
You're shallow
Transparent and untrue
You're shallow
Don't want to drown in you
You're shallow
Don't wanna drown, don't wanna drown in you

In you
In you
Ooooh

You're shallow
You're heartless and we're through.

The Wanting

I fell hard
You fell too

I was looking at you
You were looking at me
I turned away

Snow was falling outside
We were wanting to hide
Our desire hangs in the air
Like stars in the sky
Without a care

I was looking for you
You were looking for me
You turned away

Bop bop bop

You came over to me
I came over to you
You looked into my eyes
And then I knew

Ooooooo
Ooooooo
Ooooooo

Every Road

You've got an axe to grind
But I know it's not with me
Your like watching the blind lead the blind
But everyone can see
Your taking the long way round
And everything's going wrong
So wanting to tear them down
But your building up the walls

And you cried
La la la la la la
And you cried
La la la la la la

You've reached your breaking point
Where everything is out of control
What once was a simple life
Is a diamond squeezed into coal
Your feeling the pressure now
And everything's going wrong
No need to be on your own
I'll pick you up when your feeling down

By singing
La la la la la la

There's no need to be on your own
When every road you know leads back to home
There's no need to be on your own
When every road you know leads back to home

By singing
La la la la la la

She Loves Me Not

Making love in the middle of the night
Makes everything feel oh so right
She push you down she gets you up
Roll over now she's on top

She loves me
She loves me not
My heart skips a beat
Will it ever stop
She loves me not

Making love with an angel one look in her eyes
And your under her spell
She's got you on your back
Now your ready for another attack

She loves me
She loves me not
My heart skips a beat
Will it ever stop
She loves me
She loves me not
My heart skips a beat
Will it ever stop

She loves me
She loves me not
My heart skips a beat
Will it ever stop
She loves me
She loves me not
My heart skips a beat
Will it ever stop
She loves me not

Soul Stripper

You got something
Gonna take it from you
You don't want it but you know that I do
Gonna take in the mid of the night
So just lay back don't put up a fight

I like it warm and I'm coming for you
You think your scared but you don't have a clue
I'm gonna take it while the getting is good
There's no choice
Is that understood?

You walk around with your head down low
I'll make it hurt gonna take it slow
I'll take it from you don't you dare
You can't hide i'll find you anywhere

I like it warm and I'm coming for you
You think your scared but you don't have a clue
I'm gonna take it while the getting is good
There's no choice
Is that understood?

You had something I took it from you
You didn't want it you know that it's true
I took it from you you knew that I could
You just layed there you knew that I would

Wake Up

When the wind blows it calls your name
And it chills me to the bone
Cause nothing's the same
I opened my heart on the telephone
All you could say was
I don't know

And I'll wake up in the morning
With you in my head
And I'm hoping and wishing that none of this was said
And I'll wake up in the morning
With you in my bed
And I'm hoping and wishing that this will never end

Come on let's wake up and go outside
We'll walk for miles and see what we can find
I'll never think about it til it's too late
I only want to see that smile on your face

And I'll wake up in the morning
With you in my head
And I'm hoping and wishing that none of this was said
And I'll wake up in the morning
With you in my bed
And I'm hoping and wishing that this will never end

And I'll wake up in the morning
With you in my head
And I'm hoping and wishing that none of this was said
And I'll wake up in the morning
With you in my bed
And I'm hoping and wishing that this will never end

Forever and Always

Living in a moment where life passes by
A heart beats emotion won't let me even try
To reach out to you and help you understand
The way that it should be never go as planned

And I will remember forever
Forever and Always
And always reminds me of something
I shouldn't belive in
And I will remember forever
Forever and Always now.

Living for a moment that never comes to light
More or less a feeling that leaves you high and dry
Memories and always are things we set to fire
Forever gives you everything that her heart desires

And I will remember forever
Forever and Always
And always reminds me of something
I shouldn't belive in
And I will remember forever
Forever and Always now.
Forver and Always now.

On Like This

Find me a muse - to amuse
Listen to what I say
Sometimes it's not so easy to escape
You get lost along the way

I should of known
That you'd be the first to go

How can I go on like this
If my world stopped
it wouldn't end like this
No No
No No

Take the abuse - What's the use
I've been here before
You close your eyes
and I'll close my mind
Then I'll be walking out that door

I could of grown
This much I should have known

How can I go on like this
If my world stopped
it wouldn't end like this
No No
No No

Find me a muse - to Amuse

Right From The Start

Didn't I tell you
Right from the start?
and didn't I warn you
I was gonna break your heart?

How could I even try
to live in your house of lies

How does it feel when it's over?
How does it feel when it's falls apart?
How does it feel when it's over right from the start?

Didn't I love you?
more than enough
and I tried to hate you
when push came to shove

How can I even try
to look you straight in the eyes

How does it feel when it's over?
How does it feel when it's falls apart?
How does it feel when it's over right from the start?

Leave It All Behind

I went outside to see the sunshine
But someone stole it all away
They came and paved all over it
Turned my colourful life into something grey

So now I'm moving out to the West Coast
Breath the free and easy life
Gonna do what I love the most
Gonna pack it in and leave it all behind

I'm gonna leave it all behind
I'm gonna leave it all behind

Sleeping under the stars I notice
The moon isn't quite as bright anymore
I tell myself i should have known this
But they won't steal my heart like they did before

I'm gonna leave it all behind
I'm gonna leave it all behind

I went outside to see the sunshine
But someone stole it all away
They came and paved all over it
Turned my colourful life into something grey

I'm gonna leave it all behind
I'm gonna leave it all behind

These Four Walls

I want to feel
The sun on my face
My heart beating in my chest
Freeze this moment forever and a day
I don't ever want to forget

These four walls are always around me
These four walls are always the same
These four walls could tell you stories
These four walls will drive me insane

Gotta be a reason
To help me understand
Don't know what I'm feeling
Just need to hold your hand
Want to feel your breath on my face
Your heart beating in your chest
Freeze this moment forever and a day
I don't ever want it to end

These four walls are always around me
These four walls are always the same
These four walls could tell you stories
These four walls will drive me insane

I wanna reach out
From this cold and lonely life
I wanna break out
and cross that great divide

These four walls are always around me
These four walls are always the same
These four walls could tell you stories
These four walls will drive me insane

These four walls
These four walls
These four walls
These four walls

Run

Stop to wash your body
In a cold forest stream
There's a hovering helicopter
From the RCMP

Ever since you lost way then
And she cut you out of life
You can't avoid the vengence
You were haunted by the knife

Ooo, I will Run
Ooo, I will Run, Run, Run
Ooo, I will Run
Ooo, I will Run, Run, Run

Blades are getting closer
You can feel them cutting through
You shiver in the darkness
Your skin is turning blue

Ooo, I will Run
Ooo, I will Run, Run, Run
Ooo, I will Run
Ooo, I will Run, Run, Run

Stop to wash your body
In a cold forest stream
There's a hovering helicopter
From the RCMP

This is where it ends now
Or maybe where it starts
The sharpness of the daybreak
Meets the jaggedness of your heart

Ooo, I will Run
Ooo, I will Run, Run, Run
Ooo, I will Run
Ooo, I will Run, Run, Run

Something More

I know I want it
I know I need it
And now I want it somemore
And now I'm bleeding

Ooo Yeah
Ooo Yeah
Ooo Yeah
Ooo Yeah

And then I got it
And now I'm falling
calling for something more
And now I'm bleeding

Ooo Yeah
Ooo Yeah
Ooo Yeah
Ooo Yeah

Solo

I know I want it
I know I need it
And now I want it somemore
and now I'm bleeding

Ooo Yeah
Ooo Yeah
Ooo Yeah
Ooo Yeah

Think Of You

When I was young
I was on the run
I was looking for fun
When I was young
Running through the trees
We were holding hands
Learned the birds and bees
I became a man

CHORUS
Oooo went our separate ways
Oooo I cried for days
OOoo I still think of you
and all the things we used to do

Still remember when
Alone at the park
We were moving along
It was after dark
If I could turn back time
Oh the things I'd do
I was sick for love
and so were you

CHORUS
Oooo went our separate ways
Oooo I cried for days
OOoo I still think of you
and all the things we used to do

Slightly Used

Slightly used and a little abused
If it weren't for me you wouldn't feel free
Love me two times let me go home
Curled up and I'm feeling alone

I want to run from this life
That's given me nothing to live for
I want to run from this life
That's given me nothing to live for

Wake up and do it all again
My hopes and dreams are dying
No idea of who I am
God I feel like crying

No time for me no time for you
This lonely life with nothing left to do

I want to run from this life
That's given me nothing to live for
I want to run from this life
That's given me nothing to live for

I want to run from this life

Alone

It's better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all
It's said the greater the love
the harder the fall
They say If you love something
then set it free
I did that once it never came back to me

And I know when you go
Oh no
I feel so Alone
Oh no
There you go
and I'll end up Alone

You're everything I've wanted
You're All that I need
This glass is half full
But my heart is empty
I'll try to keep it simple
just take it day by day
All that I need is three chords and a cliche

And I know when you go
Oh no
I feel so Alone
Oh no
There you go
and I'll end up Alone

Alone
Alone

And I know when you go
Oh no
I feel so Alone
Oh no
There you go
and I'll end up Alone

Sleep Thieves

I had an eye opening experience
Something to awaken all my senses
Now you want to open up and examine me
Unlock me like I'm some mystery

Here I am - living in your dreams
Here I am - nothing's what it seems
While I'm hearing silent screams
As they try to capture me
Here I am - living with the Sleep Thieves

On the edge of reality
Moving in and out of your dreams
Taking only what we really need
Leaving what we don't want you to see

Here I am - living in your dreams
Here I am - nothing's what it seems
While I'm hearing silent screams
As they try to capture me
Here I am - living with the Sleep Thieves

It's easy enough for you to see
Just what it is that bothering me
Moving in and out of your dreams
Taking pieces of you from me

Here I am - living in your dreams
Here I am - nothing's what it seems
While I'm hearing silent screams
As they try to capture me
Here I am - living with the Sleep Thieves

Cold Is My Friend

I can't hold out my arms anymore
You slip away to the ocean floor
Icy stare as you float away
I'm taken in by your frozen gaze - my friend
Is this the end?

Just hold out for an hour or two
Someone's bound to break through
This storm inside my head
Lucky ones are better off dead - my friend
Is this the end?

So hold on - help is on the way
It's on the way my friend

Listen to my voice once more
It came back to keep you warm
Frozen wrecks will float away
And thaw me out another day - my friend
Is this the end?

Close my eyes to where it's warm
Open skies stay true to form
Breathing out to breathe you in
This is where the cold begins - my friend
This is your end.

So hold on - help is on the way
It's on the way my friend
