The Horrors : Skying
Lyrics
1. CHANGING THE RAIN
Over closer through figures collide
Open eyes to awake
Wilder through the better days
Go silent,
See them running around changing the rain
Gold is colder than ice
More is more than you can take
Open your eyes
Oh out here don't you ever know
Oh out here don't you ever know better
Now among the wild hills open they lie
For diamond tears we could ride
If only you'd get back in time
Open your eyes
Oh out here don't you ever know
Oh out here don't you ever know better
I can only happen I and I want it back again
I could only happen I and I'd want you back again
If only you'd get back in time
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
2. YOU SAID
You said I had what I came for
And the whispers had washed you away
Held yourself at the window
But the rivers were turning your head
You said I had what I came for
And the whispers had washed you away
Held yourself at the window
But the rivers were turning your head
After the crash
After the crash come the waves
And leave you with nothing
At least next to nothing
You've got to give me love
You've got to give me more
You've got to give me love
You've got to give me more
Now the echoes are endless
Whenever you say it aloud
All the whispers are heavy
And the whispers they wear you down
After the crash come the days
After the crash come the waves
And leave you with nothing
At least next to nothing
You've got to give me love
You've got to give me more
You've got to give me love
You've got to give me more
Stretching far into another night
A landscape with no heart
And no one sees her above
Oh there's nothing more to it now
Put aside and forgotten
Barely left alive
And forgotten too far gone to see you
And her eyes are too far gone to know
And her eyes are too far gone to know
You've got to give me love
You've got to give me more
You've got to give me love
You've got to give me more
3. I CAN SEE TROUGH YOU
I got the church key
Moving in the night
Don't you wish you could live this lie
I couldn't talk about
Filling up with longing
Pale horse, green eyes
'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through
I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through
La la la la la
Some people see you
To me you're just see-through
No one remembers your name
No one tries
And let you step outside
In the fever of evening
No one remembers your name
No one tries
'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through
'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and what you are
I can see through you
I can see through
La la la la la
'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through
'Cause I can see through you and I don't get it
I can see through you and there's no way
I can see through you
I can see through
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
4. ENDLESS BLUE
Everyone seems so far away
Glittering jewels that you never had
You'll never own anything
Seems so far behind
See yourself in the places you've been
Some other time
In endless blue
Reflections look so good
You're never certain of anything
Unless you go in
Endless blue
Seems so far away
A glittering jewel that you never had
Nor will you again
At high tide, high tide
Everyone seems so far away
Glittering jewels that you never had
You'll never own
Everything seems so far behind
See yourself in the places you've been
Some other time
At high tide, high
As far as you can say
At high tide, high tide
Endless, endless, endless
It's endless
5. DIVE IN
She laid her thoughts out on the table
With sorrow difficult and bright
She had decided to sever her ties
As the horizon burned, she turned
The wind combed through her hair like high notes
Tinkling furrows across the sky
There would be tears, flowers, long shadows
She could see it now
The jets would dive
Away, away, away you go
Before they push you under
Away, away, away you go
Before they pull you in
She held herself up at the high point
A joining of decision and dismay
And clay was forming over her feet
As the horizon blurred
She turned and she knew
Away, away, away you go
Before they push you under
Away, away, you let it go
Before it pulls you in
Cold into the current, there she goes
Cold into the current, there she goes
Cold into the current, there she goes
Cold into the current, there she goes
The way it is, the way it goes,
The way it gets you down, you know
The way it is, the way it goes
The way it gets you down
Away, away, away you go
Before they push you under, you know
Away, away, away you go
Before it pulls you in
Away, away, you let it go
Before they put posh under the ground
Away, away, you let it go
Before it pulls you in
6. STILL LIFE
Under a sky, no one sees
Waiting, watching it happening
Don't hurry give it time
Things are the way they have to be
Slow down, give it time
Still life, you know I'm listening
The moment that you want is coming if you give it time
When you wake up, when you wake up
You will find me
When you wake up, when you wake up
You will find me
Under a sky, no one else sees
Yourself appears in front of me
The sky clear, the sun hits, I'm here
Waiting, what's happening.
The moment that you want is coming if you give it time
When you wake up, when you wake up
You will find me
When you wake up, when you wake up
You will find me
7. WILD EYED
Make me silver promises
Take away my life
I'd give it up if you would only listen
I know all your secrets
I know all your lies
The water's cool if you choose the right time
Float away again
Float, float away again
I know all your lies
Fragile as they are
The water's cool if that's what you came for
Your eyes are running
Through a bitter snow
The sky is cold
Colder than the ocean
Float away again
Float, float away again
8. MOVING FURTHER AWAY
Everybody moving further away
Everybody moving further away
Everybody moving further away
Everybody moving further away
See you where the light ends
I'll be shooting across the silver
Through the breaking sky
And back before you know
Wheeling in formation
And I know what you're thinking
So turn your eyes away
And let me be alone
Everybody moving further away
Everybody moving further away
See you where the lie turns
I'll be shooting caps of silver
But it's different now
I'm the only one who flies
Wheeling in formation
And I know what you're thinking
But they're all strangers now
And the silver doesn't shine
Everybody moving further away
Everybody moving further away
There with all the people
There with all the people
Oh, I surrender, this is
Oh, I surrender, this is it
Oh, I surrender, this is it
Oh, I surrender, this is it
Oh, I surrender, this is it
9. MONICA GEMS
Did you see her
She's out of sight
Did you see
She's always cool and bright
Waiting for her, oh
You know you're wasting your time
With Monica Gems, oh
No matter how hard you try
People say, oh
She keeps them cool and bright
People say, oh
You're wasting all your time
With Monica Gems, Monica Gems
Monica Gems, Monica
Did you see, oh
She's out of sight
Did you see, oh
She's cool and bright
Waiting for she, oh
You'll be waiting all your life
Monica Gems, oh
You know I think of her sometimes
Monica Gems
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Monica Gems, oh
And we've all been there for Monica, Monica
For Monica, Monica
For Monica, Monica
For Monica, Monica
10. OCEANS BURNING
In the orchard we see you once again
Listening only with the sunlight on your arms
It's a change to see you in my world again
Only visiting but happy anyway
It's a joy
To see you waiting there
Lit up, left glowing in the air
It's a joy
To know you're waiting there
Writing letters, left burning in the air
In the picture we see you once again
Still leaning with the sunlight on your arms
Then the life sent itself into the air
Until someone came upon the frozen stare
It's a joy
To see you waiting there
Lit up, left glowing in the air
It's a joy
To know you're waiting there
Writing letters, left burning in the air
Bringing all wonders to light
Bringing all wonders to light
Like an ocean
Life that overcomes
Like an ocean
Likely follows right behind
The only one
On a lonely ship, we are
Waking like an ocean which is sighing oh
Even when I told you were wrong
Turns out you were right all along
Hold me open when I am with you
Hold me open when I am with you
You know it's gone
You see me run
As if to hide
There on a lonely ship, filled full
Of an ocean which is burning oh
Melt together when I am with you
Held together when I am with you
We had it there
We had it there
I could have sworn
Turns out you were right all along
Turns out you were right all along
Turns out you were right all along
