The Remote Part
Album - 15 luglio 2002 - Debaser id 32766

Every face
Even the one you saw yesterday
It looks different today
Cause everything's changed since yesterday
In every possible way
Things seem different today
Not like yesterday

Is consideration
More like an exception
Of consideration?

You held the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?

When you're secure do you feel much safer?
But days never change and it's three years later
It's like your life
Hasn't changed and it's three years late
How does it feel to be three years late?
And watching your youth drift away
What seems different, seems different today?
What seems different, seems different today?

Is consideration
More like an exception
Of consideration

You held the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
You held the world in your arms tonight
And what if you held the world in your arms?
Tonight
Tonight

If I know what I know
That no one will watch over you
And someone shouldn't really tell me
What I want to know
I know oh ho
I know that matters don't matter as much
As you think they do

Cause you will only be yourself
And you can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself
When you understand what you know

How long will we go on
With the modern way of letting go
Tell me how long will we go on
With the modern way of letting you go

If I know what I know
Losing isn't learning to be lost
It's learning to know when you're lost
And I know what I know
I wanna make the most of what it seems like

You will only be yourself
And you can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself
When you understand what you know

How long will we go on
With the modern way of letting you go
Tell me how long will we go on
With the modern way of letting you go

Songs when they're true are all dedicated to you,
and this invisible world i choose to live in.
And if you believe that then now i understand
why words mean so much to you:
'cause they'll never be about you.

And maybe you're young without youth,
or maybe you're old without knowing anything's true,
I think you're young without youth.

Then you contract the American Dream
you never look up once.
And you've contracted American Dreams,
I require you to stop and look up.

Sing a song about myself
keep singing a song about myself,
not some invisible world

Constantly searching to find something new,
but what will you find when you think that nothing's true?
Maybe it's that nothing is new.
So you let me hear songs that were written all about you
The good songs weren't written for you,
they'll never be about you.

Then you contract the American Dream
you never look up once.
And you've contracted American Dreams,
you never look up once, so dont look up.

Sing a song about myself
keep singing a song about myself,
not some invisible world.

Sing a song about myself
keep singing a song about myself,
not some invisible world.

And I won't tell you what this means
'cause you already know
And I won't tell you what this means
'cause you already know

So sing a song about myself
keep singing a song about myself, (repeat to end)
not some invisible world.

You came along and found the weak spot
That you always wanted
Let yourself be everything
That you've always wanted
It doesn't have to be so decided
But you've always wanted
No need for explanations
You've always wanted

You'll find what you'll find when you find there's nothing.
You'll find what you'll find when you find there's nothing.

i created myself to be on my own
but i didnt expect to be alone
did you create yourself to be on your own
these are the reasons things should be unknown

the days won't let you know
the days won't let you know

that all i never wanted was to be there with you
and all i ever wanted to know anywhere with you

no one creates themself
unless they try to shut out the caution
that made them lie to
all this talk
but noone will tell me
where and when i need to go

the days won't let you know
the days won't let you know

that all i never wanted was to be there with you
and all i ever wanted to know anywhere with you

there is no reason
there is no reason
there is no reason
for that now

(you always have to have reason)
there is no reason
(you have to have reason)
there is no reason
there is no reason
for that

all i never wanted was to be there with you
and all i ever wanted to know anywhere with you
?you don't
all i never wanted was to be there with you
and all i ever wanted to know anywhere
ever wanted to know anywhere with you

Calling Places,collecting careless
Sentences I write them down so I ignore them
You should too,should ignore every word
Is calling what you can surrender
The only way to really learn that the alphabet
Made up the words you could never exist to quote

Pre-chorus:
And if all this wisdom is true
Then I doubt it could really have come from you

Chorus:
Then I am what I am not,I am what I am not
But It must something more then,If I am just a thought ,I'll know

Faster than the destination of knowing where you really are
It's where you've always been
Or is it where you began?
And happinees did it happen sooner than the doubt
It costs to learn from the mistakes
that I taught you

Pre-chorus
Chorus

There are times that I should try, to be so much more alive
But if time was right then I would be with you again
Or do you worry that I try to avoid the point and then deny
The time I spent deciding it was you again

It's when I live in a hiding place
It's the only way I feel safe
When I'm safe in a hiding place
(that's not hidden now)
I'm safe in a hiding place
It's the only way I feel safe
When I'm safe in a hiding place

And you're full of facts but not things that could add up to words
Think about meaning more as an after word
As in afterward

I return but don't remain, I'm impatient for a reason
To complain about winter, making me see through again
Or is it your damaged reply, that makes me realise that
The more I try the less that plans will help me comprehend again

That's why I live in a hiding place
It's the only way I feel safe
When I'm safe in a hiding place
(that's not hidden now)
I'm safe in a hiding place
It's the only way I feel safe
When I live in a hiding place

And you're full of facts but not things that could add up to words
You think about meaning more as an after word
And you're full of facts but not things that could add up to words
You think about meaning more as an after word
As in afterward

Out of routine and the explanations you have
You're still loath to give them
All because you phrased them in a way
So the explanations you have
The words dont go away

If your heart gets in the way of what you wanted
To deny everything I say
Is not uncommon
The only thing that's definitely forgotten is what you wanted
And what you really needed
But I can only try to know what I wanted
I will only try to know what I want
If I can only try to know what I wanted
How can it be gone?

Out of routine -- but its not as bad as you think
Its only chance you're looking for
Still in routine
And the explanations you have
The ideas go between

If your heart gets in the way of what you wanted
If you reply to everything I say
Is not uncommon
The only thing that definitely forgotten is what you wanted
And what you really needed
But I can only try to know what I wanted
I will only try to know what I want
If I can only try to know what I wanted
How can it be gone?

And its already gone and nothing can take it back
Its already gone and nothing can take it...

since you're breathing
is it all that space can fill
so just by looking in
ill be looking still
(find and follow stories well)
you make it except for
a newspaper
the headline's telling me
that fortune favours the brave
ive never been known to be that brave
what i want is on its way out
all i needed was an easier way to stay
walking around the city
as the light fades
is that all that you remain
i'm thinking about these promises
that i have ever made
i know what they will never say
i know what they will never say

century after century may remain

and if i need to remember
that the entire earth is outside this window
so close the windows
keep the curtains shut forever
and if i need to remember
the entire earth is outside this room
so close the windows
close the windows

isn't it romantic to be romantic
when you dont understand what you love
or if a word like that could ever mean anything
but what you want is on its way out
i didnt hear
cheerleading for creative writers
your cheekbones
dont taste of anything at all
its on its way out
its just an easier way to stay

talking about a city
that the light mades
is it all that you remain
its the same story told
but its these stories that dont fade
i know what they will never say
i know what they will never say

century after century may remain

is it all that you remain
is it all that you remain
is it all that you remain
is it all that you remain
is it all that you remain
(i know what they will never say)
is it all that you remain
(i know what they will never say)
is it all that you remain
(i know what they will never say)
is it all that you remain
(i know what they will never say)
is it all that you remain
is it all that you remain

I have to stop saying to be honest
It's not a real defeat
To have to stop saying to be honest
It's not a great defeat

No no no not such a great defeat

[bridge]
All these things that you don't know
It seems so much better that way
All these things that you don't know
It seems so much better that way

[chorus]
Can you tell me ten words that you'd use
To describe the world
Tell me ten words that you'd use
To describe the world to people
Though people never seem to know
To people though people never know

The more I say the more I keep confusing things
To make me feel complete
So I keep lying to be honest
And it's not a real defeat

No no no not such a real defeat

[bridge]

[chorus]

It's what you thought you are x5
It's what you thought you could be
If you tried much harder

[bridge] x2

it sometimes happens
it always happens to me
but always isn't a word i use
always isn't a word i chose

when i know that
this won't survive much longer
unless we alter what we have
but then again survival
is not why we should

stay the same
if we can't be the same
we won't stay the same
our similar thoughts will never let us
stay the same
if we can't be the same
we won't stay the same
if we retain

you know that
i won't be much help to you
if it wont happen the way
that you've always planned it
just so you could become
more interesting
this time for a purpose
only now i know the purpose

and i know that
what is here will not be here much longer
unless we alter what we have
or alter what we dont have
what we wont have
what we've never seemed to have
what we try to have
we fail to have
and all of this was just so we wont

stay the same
if we can't be the same
we won't stay the same
our similar thoughts will never let us
stay the same
if we can't be the same
we won't stay the same
just because we think we are the same

its just so we won't
stay the same
if we can't be the same
we won't stay the same
when we believe we are not the same
