Silversun Pickups - Widow's Weeds Lyrics
Neon Wound
Hello, my friend
It's nice to see you again
Now that we're on the mend
Dear friend
You got here right on time
Cleaned up with a wise mind
So please be kind
And protect your eyes
From a neon wound, a neon wound
That lights across the room, shines on you
A neon wound, a neon wound that calls out you
Bleeding into the room
We're afraid of the dark
But we're in love with the night
And that's who we are, who we are
I'm not afraid of the world
With the weight of a pearl
There's nothing we can learn while it burns
This neon wound, neon wound
That lights across the room, shines on you
The neon wound, a neon wound that calls out you
Bleeding into the room
There are so many wolves, so many traps
That try to make this moment crash
But then I see you, standing there right on cue
Blinded by a neon wound
Do you ever think when this shit hit the brink
It suddenly made this happen?
Do you ever wonder if we fell in with another
Then this would never be happening, happening?
Hello
There are so many rules, so many plans
It's amazing that things ever last
With all the wolves and all the traps
That try to make this moment crash
But then I see you, standing there right on cue
Delighted by the neon wound
Oh, oh, oh, oh

It Doesn't Matter Why
You hear us come and go
We know
You wonder if we're not alone
We're alone
You think about us all the time
Don't
Because it doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known
We're just known
You wanna read our minds
We know
Is it better on the other side
No
Will it help you sleep at night?
It won't
And it doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known
Should you stay or go
Go
Feeling like you're on your own
Unknown
Will we ever leave you alone?
No
And it doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known
And if it all goes right, you'll see in our eyes
We've finally made it out alive
Will you wait for a sign?
It's time to have some peace of mind
Wait
You're on your own and in your eyes
You finally see we've all gone blind
Have we all gone blind?
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
It doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known

Freakazoid
And if you're feeling paranoid
What the hell does that mean?
You'd rather be alone
Anonymously
If I'm such a freakazoid
Unable to breathe
Breathe, breathe
Do we move along?
Or wait and see
I believe you're trying
To keep us all from dying
Can I pull you home
Away from the middle of the road?
Another safety zone
Another way to know
And this freakazoid
Who needs a little relief
Relief, relief
Knows you're not alone
And wants you to believe
I believe you're trying
To keep us all from dying
Keep us all from dying
I believe you're crying
To keep this whole thing flying
Whole thing comes up flying
I'm in your mind it
Seems you might be lying
Keeping us from dying
I'll keep on fighting
As long as you keep trying
As long as you keep trying
I believe you're trying
To keep us all from dying
Keep us all from dying
I believe you're crying
To keep this whole thing flying
Whole thing comes up flying
I'm in your mind it
Seems you might be lying
Keeping us from dying
I'll keep on fighting
As long as you keep trying
As long as you keep trying
Once again we're feeling
Once again with a little more love
Once again I believe
Believe, believe
That you're paranoid
And I'm a freakazoid
So let's wait and see
I believe you're trying
To keep us all from dying
Keep us all from dying
I believe you're crying
To keep this whole thing flying
Whole thing comes up flying
I'm in your mind it
Seems you might be lying
Keep us all from dying
I'll keep on fighting
As long as you keep trying
As long as you keep trying
I believe you're trying
To keep us all from dying
Keep us all from dying
I believe you're crying
To keep this whole thing flying
Whole thing comes up flying
I'm in your mind it
Seems you might be lying
Keep us all from dying
I'll keep on fighting
As long as you keep trying
As long as you keep trying

Don't Know Yet
Ooh, I need a fresh start now, reboot the machine
Ooh, I'm a ghost up in the clouds now, so frightening
Ooh, face down in a fountain, soaking wet
Ooh, my body's growing into my silhouette
I can see now you wanted to play
Hurry back, I think they're closing the gate
But I fear it's just a moment too late
Don't know what you're gunning for
Should I hit the deck, fall through the floor?
Don't know what you're thinking of
Do I chip away or keep defenses up?
Don't make a sound if it gets too loud
Will you hear me come around?
Ooh, fade into the sounds that we can't avoid
Ooh, I'm addicted to the soundtrack, I need the noise
Are you screaming from the other side?
Believe me, I know what it's like
To lay awake all through the night
Don't know what you're gunning for
Should I hit the deck, fall through the floor?
Don't know what you're thinking of
Do I chip away, or keep defenses up?
Don't make a sound if it gets too loud
Will you hear me come around?
Don't know what you're gunning for
Should I hit the deck, fall through the floor?
Don't know what you're thinking of
Do I chip away, or keep defenses up?
Don't make a sound if it gets too loud
Will you hear me come around?
Don't know what you're gunning for
Should I hit the deck, fall through the floor?
(What you're gunning for)
Don't know what you're thinking of
Do I chip away, or keep defenses up?
(I'll keep defenses up)
Don't make a sound if it gets too loud
Will you hear me come around?
(Gets too loud, oh, it gets too loud)
Don't know what you're gunning for
Should I hit the deck, fall through the floor?
(Fall through the floor)
Don't know what you're thinking of
Do I chip away, or keep defenses up?
(I'll keep defenses up)
Don't make a sound if it gets too loud
Will you hear me come around?
(Hear me come around, you hear me come around)
I can see now you wanted to play
Hurry back, I think they're closing the gate
But I fear it's just a moment too late

Straw Man
Look, I think it's moving, and I'm so glad for you
Listen, something's beating, and oh, my stars, it's true
It's true, this point of view
For you, straw man, will do
Look, we've got a live one, and I'm so mad
I'll head into the corner and it can dance with you
It's true, this point of view
For you, straw man, will do
A change, a ball, looks like you've got it all
A change, a ball, gives you the longest straw
A change, a ball, looks like you've got it all
A change, a ball, you drew the longest straw
It's true, this point of view
For you, straw man, will do
It's true, this point of view
For you, straw man, will do
For you, straw man, will do

Bag of Bones
Okay, okay
You like, just really
Where is, where is the mic? This?
No, the big one, M49
Okay
6, 4, 2, 6
Swing like we feel no groove
Hold me tighter if you need to move
Breathe like there is no room
Swim like we need to sink
Down to the bottom where there's time to think
Real life floats in between
In the water, you can't catch me
I only aim to please
A bag of bones, a bag of bones
We come and go in a bag of bones
A bag of bones, a little bag of bones
I'm coming home in a bag of bones
Headlights inflame the dark
I need a minute to get out and walk
Search for the faintest spark
I ignite as it dawns on me
Kiss me, honey, I can use the heat
Sweet like a tangerine
I love you, baby, but it feels too soon
To be alone in a room
With a bag of bones, a bag of bones
We come and go in a bag of bones
A bag of bones, a little bag of bones
I'm coming home in a bag of bones
We come and go, we come and go
Move like we feel no groove
Move like there is no room
Move like we're in the dark
Move like there is no spark
Move like we need to sink
Move like no time to think
Move like we need the heat
I'm moving like it just dawned on me
I'm just a bag of bones, a bag of bones
We come and go in a bag of bones
A bag of bones, a little bag of bones
I'm coming home in a bag of bones
We come and go in a bag of bones

Widow's Weeds
Climbing up to metal doors
Splash of red we've seen before
Cryptic message on the ground
Stare straight up before looking down
Lean into this scene
Wearing widow's weeds
Run inside and suddenly
So many limbs all over me
Pretty people wild and free
Here is where I'll leave you be
You would do the same for me
Behind the roads, beneath cities
A shape will form from little lights
Moves on you, then covers me
From head to toe in widow's weeds
In widow's weeds
Make a blanket from your hair
They're getting close, but we don't care
You whisper gently, unaware
That here is where I'll leave you be
You would do the same for me
Behind the roads, beneath cities
A shape will form from little lights
Moves on you, then covers me
From head to toe in widow's weeds
In widow's weeds, in widow's weeds
In widow's weeds, in widow's weeds
It's starting to shine (it's starting to shine)
We're ready to shine (we're ready to shine)
Pulled all the muscles in our heads
Won't allow to look down again
No regrets, the scene is set
But don't forget
Behind the roads, beneath cities
A shape will form from little lights
Moves on you, then covers me
From head to toe in widow's weeds
In widow's weeds
Here is where I'll leave you be
You would do the same for me

Songbirds
I see how you easily
Slip into the comfort of your mind
Can I take a feather from your wing?
And it means everything, I'll keep it close to me
Mood swings are such pretty things
I've gotta ask why do you cage them inside? Why?
Do you think there's something up my sleeve?
Or are these just my wings? Such dirty wings
Follow me, we'll all take flight
Shadowing who's left behind
As we watch the sunrise creeping in
Songbirds with folded arms
Waiting for your deep alarm
Can we hear your true voice growing in?
When you sing, there's no misery
You better check your tone, they're only lullabies
Why?
Do you see there's something up my sleeve?
These are just my wings, such pretty things
Follow me, we'll all take flight
Shadowing who's left behind
As we watch the sunrise creeping in
Songbirds with folded arms
Waiting for your deep alarm
Can we hear your true voice growing in?
I'll walk alone, I'll grow only on my own
So far below, we know all there is to know
Are you okay? Are you okay now?
Follow me, we'll all take flight
Shadowing who's left behind
As we watch the sunrise creeping in
Songbirds with folded arms
Waiting for your deep alarm
Can we hear your true voice growing in?
It's growing in
It's growing in
We hear it growing in

Simpatico
Shivers up your spine invade like a vine
Such a grand design, these little warning signs
Bathing in a glow, simpatico
And all these roots have leaves, brittle in the breeze
Catch one before they blow
All the way
Smashed together all the days
And keep in mind, I want you to wait
Here in the crossfade
Is this a bit too much? Kind of out of touch
And if we share the stage, time to disengage
Phasing out so slow, we're simpatico (oh)
With all the truths we need, we hold secretly
Until they're overflowing
All the way
Smashed together all the days
Separate the waste and gain
Buried somewhere in the rain
And keep in mind, I want you to wait
Here in the crossfade
Take a second look, I haven't even said your name
Take a second look, I can't believe I'm only half way
Hey, hey, hey
All the way, all the way, ooh
All the way, all the way, ooh
All the way
If we're going all the way
Smashed together all the days
And keep in mind, I want you to wait
Here in the crossfade

We Are Chameleons
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na
We always said that the fire will run
We always dance like chameleons
The phone rings in the middle of the night
To give us vision, to give us light
We always knew that this day would come
We always change like chameleons
Flash bright like Fourth of July
We have our mission, we have the sight
This isn't fair, it's not funny
We've seen it all, and we know we saw something
Millionaires saw nothing
Looking through the window
Looking through the window
Looking through the window
Looking through the window
We always said that the fire will run
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Hey, we will run with the fire
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Hey, we will run with the fire
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na
We always knew that the damage was done
We might hide like chameleons
The phone rings in the middle of the night
To give us light in the night
Flash bright like the Fourth of July
We have the vision, we have a sign
This isn't fair, it's not funny
We've seen it all, and we know we saw something
Millionaire see nothing
Looking through the window
Looking through the window
Looking through the window
Looking through the window
Looking through the window
Looking through the window
Looking through the window
Looking through the window
We always said that the fire will run
