Steven Wilson - Insurgentes lyrics



Tracks



01. Harmony Korine

Rain, come down, and fall forever
Drain, the dirt, into the wasteland
Pray, for sound, to quiet the howling

Feel, no shame, too brave
Feel, afraid, to wait forever

Kneel, to fade, the day's corrosion
Crawl, depart, towards perdition
Gray, the part, the bruise within you

Feel, no shame, too brave
Feel, afraid, to wait forever

Forever

Feel, no shame, too brave
Feel, afraid, to wait forever

02. Abandoner

The other half is somewhere else.
A play in the dark,
Whines like dogs.

I am restless, I am lost.
Time freezes all. Flawless eyes.

Your rope you used to tie yourself,
Dreams into planes, scatter remains.

I reach for you, denied your touch.
Snow starts to blind, I confide.

03. Salvaging

Robbers appoint at making you trust,
You live in a lie, the pain in the dust.

God always shouts and you always kick,
Through passionless hours.
Yeah you make me feel sick.

Your secret is taught but the body rejected.
Your smile's a question but the end is expected.

A truce is obtained, excuses are given.
Time to assess, No one knows what you're dreamin'.

It's hard to assess, nobody know what you're dreamin'.
It's time to assess, no one knows what you're dreamin'.

04. Veneno Para Las Hadas

When you're young you're sleeping
With the love you're feeling
Waking up to evening
To the pulse you're breathing

Nothing left just slumber
Only we remember
We bought a knife for sharing
Present for a faerie

05. No Twilight Within The Courts Of The Sun

Draggin' a lake
Find the owner of the voice
I zip in the bag
And drove all across the noise

Examine the hairline
His archives in the strands
He turned into something
That puts the weakness in my hands

I see what I suppose
I breathe what I dispose
Black wheels get yellow in the sand
I steal every idea that I can

(Something something) shadows in the lake
(Something) she (something) beside (something)
(Something something) in a car
(Something something) in the dark

06. Significant Other

Pullin' back from the precipice
Feel so small now, stars shine bright above
Don't know why
Receive a better life for a song
Can't but try, other leads apply

Lookin' up at tragic rush on underground
Birds will turn and fly
Don't know why
Passin' through the day, only child
Breathe a sigh, other leads apply

Raining all day, trying to reach you
Feel so helpless, can't stop counting time
(But in the morning time)
Don't know why
Hand upon a sting in my heart
(Roses rain down from)
Graceful dives, other leads apply
(The sky)

07. Only Child

A raven holding to narrow wrist
Pull it tight
Clothes are torn and the body twists
A single light

The worse the struggle the more you fail
Strands fall down
The more you like it the more it hurts
Why stop now?

An only child
A winning smile
A killing trial

A broken rib and a bloody lip
All in hell
The fire�s gone and your pride is stripped
A private hell

You never know why it is this way
Leave here now
Live through this on another day
Tonight sleep sound

An only child
A winning smile
A killing trial

09. Get All You Deserve

Open the car door slow
Don't think you'll ever know my name

Get all that you deserve, in this world

Love more than you can know
Have more than you'll ever need from me

Get all that you deserve, in this world

Get all that you deserve
Get all that you deserve
Get all that you deserve

10. Insurgentes

Holy Mother of the simple one,
When you smile at me you bring me down
You betray your thoughts
All your prayers to naught

Now out of debt, you speak in tongues
And out of breath, your work is done
And your dream, absolve
And your path, dissolve

And your dream, absolve
And your path, dissolve

22. Puncture Wound

Streets, like Prussian blues
Split the cells in my blood

Black like the outer eye
Adrenaline by love

The glow of a cigarette
Illuminates from above

Push, push down the earth
Feel my hand through your glove

Slump in the other door
Skin belongs to both

Point in perfect form
A puncture wound results

24. Insurgentes (Mexico)

Holy Mother of the simple one
You can smile at me and bring me down
You betray your thoughts
All your prayers to naught

And out of breath, you speak in tongues
And out of debt, your work is done
And your dream absolves
And your path dissolves

When your cradle rocks, her love comes down
All the pretty lies you prance around
And your dream absolves
And your path dissolves

25. The 78

Discarded love today, and north will soon become
I lost to much today, so myth will soon become

I threw my life away
And for what?
I blew my chances too
I see the bitter truth
I give up

Relinquish all connection, and be yourself for once
Distrusting insurrection, so thank yourself for once

I threw my life away
And for what?
I blew my chances too
I see the bitter truth
I give up

What seems so real today, will soon enough become
The thing you've always craved, surely now I've become

I threw my life away
And for what?
I blew my chances too
I see the bitter truth
I give up

I give up

I threw my life away
And for what?
I blew my chances too
I see the bitter truth
I give up

I give up
