Silhouettic Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

Show me what it means
We're all dying to know
Do I take a hit to the heart?
Should I let bleeding words weep?
Silhouette a perfect scene
Flavour of the month is not that new to me
And you can always be never to far from me

Always on the same page
(I'm not sure we are)
Always on the same page

There goes my baby
She's gotta know
She's gotta know
That when the red lights on there's no one at home x2

Pick and pull apart
Leaving me split at the seams
I'm saying if you want blood
You'll never get a drop out of me
What is it you don't understand?
Showing no proof in your plans
Now baby this pain won't end
And this heartache still rises

Always on the same page
(I'm not sure we are)
Always on the same page

There goes my baby
She's gotta know
She's gotta know
That when the red lights on there's no one at home

Head In My Hands Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

I hate my melodies, there all the same
One by one they're driving me insane
So give me accidentel thought in another life
Send me back along my way till I get it right
I hate my melodies, there all the same

And I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta mine

I'm losing sight again, I'm losing days
I left her out again, I'm outta face
So give me something I can harm, something I like
And print me up and press me out till I've had enough

Here I will stand with my head in my hands
And I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta mine

Say goodbye to me I'm out of here
Confused biology from ear to ear
And is it day or night in here, I can never tell
I'm throwing punches in the dark till I get a hit
I hate my melodies there all the same

And I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I can't get them outta my, my head
I'm here with you in my head, I cant lose

White Witch Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

She don't owe you nothing
She don't have to listen to anything you say
I warned you two, maybe three or more
I warned you to be bite your tongue and save it for the grave

Come on

Kick the cat out and hang up your high heels
Show me magic and spells unknown
With your potions show me some good love my white witch

She won't cost you a penny
She won't cost you any hair of a dog or its tail

So don't you try to be funny, no
Don't you try to do any thing to change her ways yeah
You won't do that no not again
You won't do that 'cause this crazy girl is sure to say
A little charm to rule the day

Come on

Kick the cat out and hang up your high heels
Show me magic and spells unknown
With your potions show me some good love my white witch

Get back, that same old look in your eye
Get back, 'cause I'm not into it

Get back, that same old look in your eye
Get back, 'cause I'm not into it

An Ode To Death Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

Tell me how far will you go
Would you take the life of another?
Will you be the one to say no?
Forgive and forget when you die my love

Never will I see the sun again

Leave it, just leave it alone
You’re picking the scab off another
We’re digging the dirt to expose
The answers to all that we do not know

Never will I see the sun again
Never will I see the sun again
Where were you Monday?
Where were you Monday?
I was not missing I was dead

It’s simple believe it or not
It’s easy to play out the ignorant
The fever that burns in us all
The price that you pay when you down my love.

Never will I see the sun again
Never will I see the sun again
Where were you Monday?
Where were you Monday?
I was not missing I was dead
[x2]

You know I killed them all
[x4]

Armour For Liars Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

Driving, we keep on driving, going nowhere
Silent, we keep it silent, no need to share
At all

Lately, things have been changing but nobody cares
Save it, for someone who'll use it, not those with deaf ears

When did you notice something wrong here?
When nobody listens and none of us care
So what are we doing? When will we make a change
Or we lose what we once owned...

Hey kid, run on home again
No world news to sell again

Hate yourself, sorry but you're responsible
I would hate myself, knowing that I'm responsible
Flowing blood for wealth and oil, the arms race and their toys
Power suits and power ties, corporate armour built for liars

And when did you notice something wrong here?
When nobody listens and none of us care
What are you doing? When will we make a change
Or we lose what we once owned

Hey kid, run on home again
No world news to sell again...

The Baker's Son Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

You tripped up again,
you tripped up again, oh no.
You know better, don't you?
Free to believe in, oh no.
Tick-tock again. Tick-tock again, oh no.

Waiting, Waiting.
Waiting, Waiting.

Tip-toe again. Tip-toe again, oh no.
Sounds like nothing you know.
Who's that again? Who's that again, oh no.
Sleep with one eye... oh no!

Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up!

Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
No need to fight, you'll be just fine, you'll be all right.
Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
No need to fight, you'll be just fine, you'll be all right...

And nothing will bother you, son.
Now you're on your own.
And nothing will bother you, son.
Now you're gone.
(Now you're gone.)
Now you're on your own.

Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
You should be home, with those that you love.
I know that you care, I know you can hear me.

Settle my boy, settle my baby boy.
No need to fight, you'll be just fine, you'll be all right. [x3]

Train Wrecks Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

Be my mistake
Be my favourite place
As cold as your heart is
Here in the middle

Stay another day
Stay another day

Pull back at the seam
Expose all I've seen
There's no need to hide it
There's no new surprises

Stay another day
Stay another day

And you ruined me with the easiest touch
Tear my world apart
Now enough is enough
I've been up most of the night
Now my head's like a train wreck
One more time

Let's all assume
I'm going mad
And the truth it is
I'm an unstable man
There's no way to reason
No one's on my side

Go back to the streets
Of illusions and dreams
Where things were so honest
Where we had our moments

Stay another day
Stay another day

And you ruined me with the easiest touch
Tear my world apart
Now enough is enough
I've been up most of the night
Now my head's like a train wreck
One more time

It's never as it seems
And this ain't gonna change
What difference does it make
To save your sanity
I've seen you on the street
I still don't know your name
The shadows on the wall

The pictures with the moving eyes
The ones who see it all
The ones who keep a notes on you
I see you when we fall
When we meet our maker

Return to the start
Forget who we are
It's here if you want
There's no second chances

Stay another day
Stay another day

Medicine Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

I want to dance another day
For all of us that never had what it takes
I want to swim another mile
I've got to know if this will be worth my while

What a liar
What a thief
What a major fucking waste of my time
I'm glad I know you

And I don't know why I'm careful

I want to take another turn
I want to taste a little sweetness in life
And is it major is it minor
I don't know, I'm out of time I can't tell
I'm glad I know you

And I don't know why I'm careful

Hey I was so sick in school
Remember me
Man I was so sick at school
But I've got my medicine
I've got my medicine
I've got my medicine
I've got my medicine

Hey mister man when will we fall
Forget about all
Forget about all

What a liar
What a thief
What a major fucking waste of my time
I'm glad I know you

What a liar
What a thief
What a major fucking waste of my time
I'm glad I know you

And I don't know why I'm careful

Black Sheets Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

You never wanted me to say I've become a simulated actor,
So write this all down, my friend, yeah.
You never wanted me to say I've become an educated
chanter, sit this one out, my friend.
My halo entertains something, but an educated answer?
You'll be the last to know.
You'll never find out, you'll never find my...

Crazy love, crazy love,
Nothing more than mine,

You never wanted me to say I've become a simulated actor,
Leave it alone, my friend.
My halo entertains nothing but an educated answer
You'll be the last one here.
You'll never find out, you'll never find my...

Crazy love, crazy love,
Nothing more than mine, oh mine...

Are you waking up the dead?
Tell me how long til this ends.
Are you ready to live again?
And the black sheets that you tore,
Had me begging you for more.
Are you ready to live again?

Crazy love, crazy love,
Nothing more than, mine, oh...
Crazy love,(You never wanted me to say)
Crazy love,(You never wanted...)
Nothing more than mine, oh mine.

Off Kilter Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

My belly aches from you
And the countless times that I try to relate to you
Knowing that I bit off more than I can chew
My mouth is full of words that taste as bad as you
Swallowing my tongue sounds like the best in store for me
It's got to be for me

So long see you in good time
This is my goodbye
This is my farewell [x2]

I love again
I love again

Hey here's the second part
The charge is set and I don't wanna wait around to see what happens next
It's too late I said this charge is set
The fuse is lit and I don't wanna wait around
Running outta time
If I were you I'd run as fast as hell

So long see you in good time
This is my goodbye
This is my farewell [x2]

I love again
I love again

Minor War Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

Gather your troops, we're going to war
I need an army to save you from yourself.
I've been blacklisted here, but I'm coming back this winter.
Now I know I've got to give.
I'm a stranger beating heart and hand
I've been blacklisted here, but I'm coming back this winter.

When you see rain,
Will you still say that you'll always be there,
Say that you'll always be there in the end,
When I come down.

Here as I wait, I'm getting bored.
You're the one thing tearing me apart.
I've been blacklisted here, but I'll be the last man standing.
Now I know it's got to be,
You've got it all worked out in your head.
I've been blacklisted here, but I'll be the last man standing.

When you see rain,
Will you still say that you'll always be there,
Say that you'll always be there in the end,
When I come down,
You got to lever it down.

Gather your troops, we're going to war
I need an army to save you from yourself.
I've been blacklisted here, but I'll be the last man standing.

When you see rain,
Will you still say you've had enough of me,
Say that you'll always be there 'til the end,
When I come down.
You got to lever it now,
You're like a thorn in my eye,
So to you it's goodbye.

Violet Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

For arguments sake
Let's say that we did
Tell me, what would you want
With just one wish?
One a rocket ride tonight
We could chase the stars
Just you and I together
Getting high

You take my breath away again
You take my breath away again
Oh

For arguments sake
Let's say that we will
Tell me, what would you give
For just one kiss?
Lost love will always say
What you don't wanna hear
But you and I together
Sounds like bliss

You take my breath away again
You take my breath away again
You take my breath away again
You take my breath away again

You take my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath, my breath

You take my breath
You take my breath
You take my breath
You take my breath

For arguments sake
Let's say that we did
And at the end of our ride
I promise this

It's the highs and lows that cause the rise and fall
But you and I get higher every time

You take my breath away again
You take my breath away again
You take my breath away again
You take my breath away
Oh

Wayside Lyrics – Birds of Tokyo

And how long has it been
Did I forget to lay it down too

Stroke out in a motel
I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall
I got so much headache
I can't get you out of my mind

In the hardest times
when I had to call on you
For just a little
when I cry I don't mind if you leave me alone

You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside

And how long have you known
that I forgot to lay you down too
Too much sun milk and honey
is that all that i really got?
I had so much money but not enough sense to make change

In the hardest times
when I had to call on you
For just a little
when I cry I don't mind if you leave me when you leave me

You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
Yeah

How about this
Entertaining myself
on such a selfish wish

I can't break this way though
I can't be this way though
And I feel like the same
Are you feeling the same?

Hey now
I'm a poor man
I got my fingernails scratching at the dry wall
I got so much headache
I can't get you out of my mind

In the hardest times
when I had to call on you
For just a little
When I cry I don't mind if you leave me
when you leave me

You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside

You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the wayside
You caught me by the way
