Bush - The Art of Survival Lyrics
Heavy Is the Ocean
Come alive
I see all the answers right there in your eyes
Come inside
I'm waiting for you like my suicide
They don't know a damn thing, babe
This f*ckery could be the death of us
This f*ckery could be the death of us
Heavy is the ocean
Steady all the ways
Heavy is the ocean
Cracked but we don't break
Heavy is the ocean
Heavy is the ocean
Heavy
In the sky
The endless stars are lead to fantasize
In the night
Silhouettes dance rings around your life
They don't know a damn thing, babe
This bravery will save the world a bit
This bravery will save this world a bit
Heavy is the ocean
Steady all the ways
Heavy is the ocean
Cracked but we don't break
Heavy is the ocean (heavy is the ocean)
Heavy is the ocean (heavy is the ocean)
Heavy is the ocean (heavy is the ocean)
Heavy is the ocean (heavy is the ocean)
Heavy
You burn with love
You'll miss the one that you love the most
You give it up
It's the worst that you'll ever get
All the time
You're in me like the waves crash, all in white
In light
A silver blue that shines across tonight
I give it all
I give it all
Heavy is the ocean
Steady all the ways
Heavy is the ocean
Cracked but we don't break
Heavy is the ocean (heavy is the ocean)
Heavy is the ocean (heavy is the ocean)
Heavy is (heavy is the ocean)
Heavy is
Heavy is the ocean

Slow Me
Slow me, I can't let go
It's a cold wind that blows
Slow me, I've got to go
I've become so hollow
I was waiting for answers
I was waiting for signs
Covered in danger
Are we dead or alive?
It's all ricochets
In moments of chance
Ocean inside
It's the rhythm of a dance
Slow me, I can't let go
It's a cold wind that blows
Slow me, I've got to go
I've become so hollow
Everyone's right
And everyone's wrong
Nobody knows how long we've been gone
See, wars have no endings
And the kids are so cruel
And people burn people
Just like people love to do
Slow me, I can't let go
It's a cold wind that blows
Slow me, yes, I can see
The more I get, the more I need
Slow me, I've got to go
I've become so hollow
We run, we run, we run another day
In America (I know, I know, I know, I know)
We run, we run, we run another day
In America (I know, I know, I know, I know)
I love to fly, watch me fly over you
I love to die, watch me die over you
I love to fly, watch me fly over you
I love to die, watch me die over you
Slow me, I can't let go
It's a cold wind that blows
Slow me, yes, I can see
The more I get, the more I need
Slow me, I've got to go
I've become so hollow
Hollow, hollow (yeah)
We run, we run, we run another day
In America (I know, I know, I know, I know)
We run, we run, we run another day
In America (I know, I know, I know, I know)

More Than Machines
Don't step on my toes, let the weather go
It's been a long wait in bed
Say what, we blow, let's go
This is the time to shine
Everything wrong should be right
Girls, you in control
Not the government, not the government
Nothing changes
Never stops
So what?
Breathe
We are more than machines
We are because we feel
When everything goes down
It is how we come around
We are more than a dream
But this heart is made of steel
I said I need you now
You are everything to me
More than machines (more than machines)
More than machines
Don't forget the code, let the wind blow
You can't be assured of a window
Shame bro, we know you fall
Here is the news in blood
Everything wrong should be right
The Earth dies, it's a money thing
It's a money thing
Nothing changes
Never stops
So what?
Breathe
We are more than machines
We are because we feel
When everything goes down
It is how we come around
We are more than a dream
But this heart is made of steel
I said I need you now
You are everything to me
More than machines (more than machines)
More than machines
We are more than machines
We are because we feel
When everything goes down
It is how we come around
We are more than a dream
But this heart is made of steel
I said I need you now
You are everything to me
More than machines (more than machines)
More than machines (more than machines)
More than machines (more than machines)
More than machines

May Your Love Be Pure
Money makes the world go 'round
See the boys all over town
Honey makes the world taste good
Can't see the trees for the wood
Not much rain in California
Yeah, we need water
This great escape got here too late
These bonds you can break
I come from disorder
I come from disorder
May your love be pure
I try to breathe you in
I live for
May your love be pure
When you come
May your love be pure
When you come
Russian Roulette in overdrive
Casinos of the mind
Everyone wants but nobody knows
Where do we go when the ship's called home?
We're on the run to nowhere
Into the void, into thin air
We're not lost, we're found
This merry-go-round
I will not go down
I come from disorder
I come from disorder
May your love be pure
I try to breathe you in
I live for
May your love be pure
When you come
May your love be pure
When you come
And I fly through the clouds
'Cause I wanna get into your sky
Oh, colors collide into spray paint
Of you and I, I fly
May your love be pure
I try to breathe you in
I live for
May your love be pure
When you come
May your love be pure
When you come
When you come
When you come

Shark Bite
You've been such a long time
Nice to meet you again
Eyes stared in the mirror
Saw my instinct again
And my body was empty
Like my feelings were gone
You took all my fingers
And got me all wrong
Take me down to the water
Where the sun shines blue
Take me down to the water
I wanna climb inside of you
These are the days for the rest of our lives
We are the ghosts 'cause we have survived
Engine's on, sharp like a samurai
I want you, I know your shark bite
The earth is a madhouse
This planet's so screwed
It warms like a fire
And the forests we lose
I'm a slave to your bible
Kiss like infinite night
Never knew I was missing
My love, you are a shark bite
Take me down to the water
Where the sun shines blue
Take me down to the water
I wanna climb inside of you
These are the days for the rest of our lives
We are the ghosts 'cause we have survived
Engine's on, sharp like a samurai
I want you, I know your shark bite
We are the freaks, it's so warm inside
We are the freaks, it's a beautiful life
We are the freaks, we are ten thousand lights
We are the freaks, we are the freaks, we are the freaks
No regret, because I wanna do
No regret, because I wanna do
No regret, because I wanna do
No regret
These are the days for the rest of our lives
We are the ghosts 'cause we have survived
Engine's on, sharp like a samurai
I want you, I know your shark bite
I want you, I know your shark bite
We are the freaks, it's so warm inside
We are the freaks, it's a beautiful life
We are the freaks, we are ten thousand lights
We are the freaks, we are the freaks, we are the freaks

Human Sand
I will always love you
I will always love from here
I will never see you
I will never see you clear
I'm in a perfect space
Please come design me soon
I'm in a perfect space
I hate to judge but I do
You my robot boo
I believe in terrestrial angels
Believe in the power of one
I believe in life ever-changing
Believe that we are not done
I believe in the passion of neighbors
Believe in the danger of guns
I believe you can dig yourself out
I believe you can wait 'til I come
We're just human sand
We're just human sand
We're just
You will always cut me
You will always cut me here
You will never have me
You will never have my fear
I'm in a perfect space
Spend all the day on a Zoom
I'm in a perfect space
Look at the size of my room
You my robot boo
I believe in terrestrial angels
Believe in the power of one
I believe in life ever-changing
Believe that we are not done
I believe in the passion of neighbors
Believe in the danger of guns
I believe you can dig yourself out
I believe you can wait 'til I come
We're just human sand
We're just human sand
We're just
The sand is years of our lives
Hail to the mistakes
The sand is years of our lives
You've tried but we don't break
I believe in terrestrial angels
Believe in the power of one
I believe in life ever-changing
Believe that we are not done
We're just human sand
These are the things on my mind
We're just human sand
Will we be alright?
We're just human sand
These are the things on my mind
We're just human sand
Will we be alright?
We're just human sand

Kiss Me I'm Dead
Eyes on the road, the wheel of America
Symphonies rain and the air is violent
Dark is the cloud for the sake of the animals
Choking to death on fumes of the Amazon
Neighbors fight because wars have no boundaries
Surgeons cut because cutting is where they go
Tried to find the stairs so I'd elevate
Been falling down the stairs for years
Been falling down the stairs for years
Save me now
Kiss me, I'm dead
Save me now
Kiss me, I'm dead
People run to the arms of their enemies
Self-sabotage and emotional shooting sprees
Water is power and we know it is running out
Anger is fear, guilt and your bitter tears
I tried to heal so my heart could levitate
Been falling down the stairs for years
Been falling down the stairs for years
Save me now
Kiss me, I'm dead
Save me now
Kiss me, I'm dead
I broke down
Freeway's such a mess
Save me now
Kiss me, I'm dead
Save me now
Kiss me, I'm dead
Save me now
Kiss me, I'm dead
I broke down
Freeway's such a mess
Save me now
Kiss me, I'm dead
Kiss me, I'm dead

Identity
Got me for a very bad birthday
Got me as a literal son
And yes, I'm all out of time now
I've seen you came undone
I wish for bloodstain propane
Five fingers on the floor
We'll run around like strangers
Who's knocking at my door?
Who is the angel?
Who is the whore?
You sang for strangers all day
You parked up in my grave
We know you think you're perfect
You told us you've been saved
Imagine there's a future
With weapons of the mind
You know we deserve better
This hospital's a crime
Who is the angel?
Who is the whore?
Come color the rainbow with identity
We used to be someone, now we're nobody
We used to be someone, now we're nobody
Please keep your Buddha alive
Please keep your kids indoors
So strange, at once we're lovers
Now we're nothing at all
I waited years to find you
I'm shocked that you want more
We run the risk of winning
Losing is such a bore
Who is the angel?
Who is the whore?
Come color the rainbow with identity
We used to be someone, now we're nobody
Pull me from the wreckage, this bondage is blue
I have so many faces
Just like you, just like you
Who is the angel?
Who is the whore?
You can't kill the American dream
We know you'll try, but you can't kill me
You can't kill the American dream
Come color the rainbow with identity
We used to be someone, now we're nobody
Pull me from the wreckage, this bondage is blue
I have so many faces
Just like you, just like you
Color the rainbow (color the rainbow)
Bondage is blue (bondage is blue)
Color the rainbow (color the rainbow)
Bondage is blue

Creatures of the Fire
Seventeen ways to lose myself in you again
Seventeen ways to fall down at your feet
Time is violent, leaves no light on for the girl
Madness makes us feel that we're alive
We are creatures of the fire
We burn so close before we expire
We are creatures of the wind
Time to let it out or let it in
In this shallow grave all my troubles lay
Try to find the weakest parts of me
Ghosts are sleeping, banks don't weep at your mistakes
The wrong man is the chief of your police
We are creatures of the fire (can we go fast but slow?)
We burn so close before we expire (can we grow, reap or sow?)
We are creatures of the wind (and you know it's all for show)
Time to let it out or let it in
Let it in
Are we here for pleasure?
Are we here for pain?
Are we here for healing?
On an altered plane
Was I meant to find you?
Were you ever here?
Are you the end of someone?
Or the love I fear?
We are creatures of the fire (can we go fast but slow?)
We burn so close before we expire (can we grow, reap or sow?)
We are creatures of the wind (and you know it's all for show)
Time to let it out or let it in
We are creatures of the fire
We are creatures of the fire
Time to let it out or let it in
Let it in

Judas Is a Riot
Kaleidoscope into yesterday
The perfect storm for all these feelings
I tried to say where I was before
I tried to give you all my reasons
Disappear in tomorrow
Let it rain what the future brings
I got a house full of sorrow
But beauty is where beauty sings
Run to you
I don't focus on the wheel
I don't know which life is real
Run to you
I don't focus on the wheel
I don't know which life is real (hey)
Judas is a riot
Party at your house
Get up on the dance floor
Do the Kool-Aid, twist and shout
Do the Kool-Aid, twist and shout
Can't sleep on a bed of promises
We move like satellites
You can't win if you can't take losing
Hollywood stars burn so bright
Run to you
I don't focus on the wheel
I don't know which life is real
Judas is a riot
Party at your house
Get up on the dance floor
Do the Kool-Aid, twist and shout
Do the Kool-Aid, twist and shout
Tell me you are where you dream
Freedom to roam in the dark recesses
I held you till I couldn't breathe
I swim in your waters and drown in your magic
Judas is a riot
Party at your house
Get up on the dance floor
Do the Kool-Aid, twist and shout
Do the Kool-Aid, twist and shout
Judas is a riot, Judas is a riot, Judas is a riot
Do the Kool-Aid, twist and shout

Gunfight
Through the wind and the rain, we're crawling
Lipstick brains hide what we feel inside
Mirror my image from fallen soldiers
Their broken hearts are pieces left behind
Drowned in seas of weapons and murder
The righteousness of your belief guns
I raised my hand but no one heard me
I died alone, there was no god
I died alone, there was no god
Never trust a man
Never bring a knife to a gunfight
We do what we can
All your wrongs don't make a right
See I'm in the sun, can you see me now?
See I'm in the sun, can you feel me now? Hey
Ice is melting, now summers will burn us
Need was murdered just like he said
There are some who move the world forward
There are those who leave us dead
I cried alone, there was no god
I cried alone, there was no god
Never trust a man
Never bring a knife to a gunfight
We do what we can
All your wrongs don't make a right
See I'm in the sun, can you see me now?
See I'm in the sun, can you feel me now?
See I'm in the sun, can you see me now?
See I'm in the sun, can you feel me now?
See I'm in the sun, can you see me now?
See I'm in the sun, can you feel me now?
See I'm in the sun, can you see me now?
See I'm in the sun, can you feel me now?

1000 Years
Never get her back, get your baby back
Never gonna find that one again
Never get him back, never had your back
Never get him 'round your house again
See you in the dark, searching for your heart
See you when the rivers rise
See you when we meet, see you when you fall
See you when the spider bites
You were wrong to me
You set me free
And I wish we could sleep
For a thousand years
I love you best
When there are no fears
Slide into your love, try to make it up
Slide into the one you need
Slide into yourself, slide into the fear
Slide into the ones you lost
Monkey on your back, give you what you need
Monkey see, monkey do
You were wrong for me
You set me free
And I wish we could sleep
For a thousand years
I love you best
When there are no fears
We're up and we're down
We're in and we're out
We're close and so far
Like we don't know where we are
We're sinking
Slowly sinking, safe
You were wrong to me
You set me free
And I wish we could sleep
For a thousand years
I love you best
When there are no fears
We're up and we're down
We're in and we're out
We're close and so far
Like we don't know where we are
We're sinking
Slowly sinking
We're sinking
Slowly sinking
I don't know what you see
But this TV says to me "We're sinking"
