Bad Suns - Transpose Album Lyrics

Cardiac Arrest

I've been tryin' to keep my grip, yeah I think I'm over this
I can hear it now, oh no, oh no-o
Yeah my tongue will let it slip, why'd I do those things I did
I can taste it now, oh no, oh no-o

I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage in her lips
I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage when we kiss.

My innards turn, your eyes, they roll. I'll be there to take the fall
I can feel it now, oh no, oh no-o
Same old story since day one, but I've got no place to run
I can see it now, oh no, oh no-o

I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage in her lips
I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage when we kiss

(Oh, woah)
High voltage in her lips, they catch me when I slip
(Oh, woah)
High voltage in her lips, they catch me when I slip

I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage in her lips
I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage when we kiss

(Oh, woah)
(Like cardiac arrest, high voltage in her lips) (Oh, woah)
(Like cardiac arrest, high voltage when we kiss)
I'll try my best, how much do I invest?
Like cardiac arrest, high voltage in her lips, I'll try my best...

Transpose

Ooh, ooh, ooh [x4]

[Verse 1]
Sleepless nights are new to me,
All these thoughts are killing me,
Someone come and put me at ease.

All of my anxiety
There's no cause that I can see.
What's this scratching at my brain?

[Chorus]
And I can't stop even if I wanted to
Up top, maybe I'm simply deluded
That's right, maybe I've been wasting my time
All my time

And it's hard to justify what you can do
I'm so sick and tired of falling through and,
It's true, maybe I've been wasting my time,
All this time, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh

[Verse 2]
I come creeping, no one can hear you now
Listen, so you can show me how,
Something that I'm missing here

Softly stop my evil dreams
Faster, help me fall asleep
No one knows that's how it goes,
All the thoughts that we transpose.

[Chorus]

Ooh, ooh, ooh [x6]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
From time to time,
We fall in line,
But now it seems that we are blind.
No one knows that's how it goes,
All the thoughts that we transpose.

Ooh, ooh, ooh [x9]

Salt

Stuck inside of the wrong frame
I don't feel attached to this name
My body, I must reclaim
With different eyes and no shame

Try, try to just hear me out
Don't ask why, why
I'm taking this route
It's alright, right?
That's what I tell myself, but I don't know know

So I ran 'til I couldn't & I screamed, until my voice was gone
I believed what I shouldn't have, I don't know why
These memories are nothing to me just salt

Look in the mirror and tell me
What it is like to be free
How do I grasp reality
When I don't have an identity!
Who, who can I look to 'cause I'm not like you, you
And I don't believe in the truth, truth
Because all of my life's built on lies

So I ran 'til I couldn't & I screamed, until my voice was gone
I believed what I shouldn't have, I don't know why

I know what you're implying
I'm trying to get my feet off the ground
I know - I know, I'm trying - I'm trying
These memories are nothing to me just salt!

Stuck inside of the wrong frame,
I don't feel attached to this name
How do I grasp reality
When I don't have an identity!
Who, who can I look to 'cause I'm not like you, you
And I don't believe in the truth, truth
'Cause all of my life's built on lies, uh!

So I ran 'til I couldn't & I screamed, until my voice was gone
I believed what I shouldn't have, I don't know why
Yeah, I ran 'til I couldn't & I screamed, until my voice was gone
I believed what I shouldn't have, I don't know why
(I'm trying to get my feet off the ground)
These memories are nothing to me just salt in the wound

20 Years

Stumbled through a hallway,
staying up for three days.
Sitting in a walkway, and parking in driveways you can.
Focus is a virtue,
know what you're allured to.
Every day is progress, every day feels just the same.

She looked around. How did I get here? Twenty years goes by so fast. How did I get here?

Doesn't even like cake,
lamenting on a birthday.
Two bed in a parlay.
A dreaming when her eyes aren't shut.
Looking in the mirror,
smiling at her fear.
Nothing really matters, these eyes have so much to see.

She looked around. How did I get here?
Twenty years goes by so fast.
How did I get here?
The home I know, how do I get there?
Twenty years, that's what it takes.
I know I'll be there.

Stumbled through a hallway,
staying up for three days.
Sitting in a walkway, and park it in driveways you can.
Focus is a virtue,

Every day is progress, every day feels just the same.

She looked around. How did I get here?
Twenty years goes by so fast.
How did I get here?
The home I know, how do I get there?
Twenty years, that's what it takes.
I know I'll be there.
