Nothing More - Carnal Album Lyrics

Everything is better when you're dreaming
Everything is better when your world fades out
Everything is better when you're dreaming
Everything is better when you leave the ground
You leave the ground
The world fades out
When you're dreaming
Everything is better when you're dreaming

Now if you breathe in and hold it
You lose your breath
But if you breathe out it comes back to you
(It comes back to you, it comes back to you)

If you want life, don't cling to it
Let go, let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go (yeah)
Carnal nature (fill my lungs again)
Carnal nature

Rationalize (War)
Mix truth with lies (War)
It's all black magic
Mixed with bad habits
Oh, isn't it tragic?

I'm a patient
Going apeshit
On the fourth floor
In the psych ward
I've been baptized
Franchised
Americanized
And left here wondering why

I built my house on sand
Hoping it would stand
The storms that come my way
And now I'm left to face
The weight of my mistakes
And a chance to start again

Oh, build my life again
My life again!

I'm compromised
Wage war on my mind
Feels good on the dark side
It's all black magic
Mixed with bad habits
Oh, isn't it tragic?

I'm a patient
Going apeshit
On the fourth floor
In the psych ward
I've been baptized
Franchised
Americanized
Left here wondering why

I built my house on sand
Hoping it would stand
The storms that come my way
And now I'm left to face
The weight of my mistakes
And a chance to start again

Oh, build my life again
Oh, build my life again
Now
Hey

I'm a patient
Going apeshit
I'm a monster
An outsider
It's all bullshit
All bullshit
It's all bullshit

Tear it down
Oh, isn't it tragic?
Tear it down

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, build my life again

I built my house on sand
Hoping it would stand
The storms that come my way
(The storms that come my way)
And now I'm left to face
The weight of my mistakes
And a chance to start again
(Start again)

Oh, build my life again
Oh, build my life again

Oh, build my life again
Build my life again
Build my life again
Build my life again

Sometimes love is pain
Yeah, it hurts for a little while
Some things you can't change
You're preaching to the choir

Knives in the back ready to attack
Knives in the back
(Hey)
Run it right back like a maniac
Run it right back

Check, check, run it right back
Run it right back
And the truth is

If it doesn't hurt at all
Then it doesn't mean a thing
I never knew that I
Could feel this way
If it doesn't hurt at all
There's nothing left to save
'Cause holding on to hope is
A different kind of pain

We all got vices
We all got choices to make
It's hard to stay and hard to walk away
You lied to me
Spinning in the dark
It took me years to see
That you had sucked the life out of me

If it doesn't hurt at all
Then it doesn't mean a thing
I never knew that I
Could feel this way
If it doesn't hurt at all
There's nothing left to save
'Cause holding on to hope is
A different kind of pain
(A different kind of pain)
A different kind of pain

Running right back
Get it
Knives in the back
Knives in the back
Knives in the back (sometimes love is pain)
Knives in the back
Knives in the back
Knives in the back

If it doesn't hurt at all
Then it doesn't mean a thing
I never knew that I
Could feel this way
If it doesn't hurt at all
There's nothing left to save
'Cause holding on to hope is
A different kind of pain

A different kind of pain
A different kind of-
Pain

(Hey, hey)
You can't deny you got that feeling in your bones ready to go
Are you ready to go?
From east to west, through LAX to Tokyo, don't you know?
Know, know

Falling like angels
Out of the dark and into a dream
Come all ye faithful
Light up the sky for all to see
We're falling like angels

(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)

They try to own us and control us so we don't get in the way
But we get in the way
Won't take no shit, won't be no bitch, not one more inch, not today
We're not going away

Falling like angels
Out of the dark and into a dream
Come all ye faithful
Light up the sky for all to see
We're falling like-

Yeah

Falling like angels
Out of the dark and into a dream
Come all ye faithful
Light up the sky for all to see
We're falling like angels

(I'm in a freefall)
(I'm in a freefall)
I'm in a

One step ahead but I'm still behind
Where I thought I'd be by this time
It's hard to please, much less believe
The screaming voice in my head (in my head)

I'm in a freefall
Racing to the ground
I'm scared I'll lose it all
Is anybody out there
Or am I alone?
Reaching out for someone
In a freefall

I've got a million of reasons to hold on
But I need one to let go
I smile like I'm okay
But I've got pain that no one knows (no one knows)

I think that I'm thinking too much
So I drink 'til I'm drinking too much
I start spinning faster and faster

I'm in a freefall
Racing to the ground
I'm scared I'll lose it all
Is anybody out there
Or am I alone?
Reaching out for someone
In a freefall

I'm in a freefall
I'm in a freefall
Am I alone?
Reaching out for someone
In a freefall
I'm in a free- (yeah)

I'm in a freefall
Racing to the ground
I'm scared I'll lose it all
Is anybody out there
Or am I alone?
Reaching out for someone
In a freefall, yeah

I, I don't know how to tell you
You had me fooled for a while
Think I was in denial
And you, you don't know how to tell me
Anything you've done wrong
I think you're just far too far gone

Taunt me off the ledge
Just to push me off a cliff
So no one else could have me
Fed me lies and kept me sick

Don't you blame it on the drugs
For every time that you give up
Don't you blame it on the drugs
Apologies are not enough
Don't blame it on the drugs
Don't you blame it on the drugs

I, I don't know how to see you
Any other way
There's no other way now
And you, you don't know how to see through
Through the ups and downs
I think you made your bed now

Taunt me off the ledge
Just to push me off a cliff
So no one else could have me
Fed me lies and kept me sick

Don't you blame it on the drugs
For every time that you give up
Don't you blame it on the drugs
Apologies are not enough, no
It's easier when everybody else is crazy
Don't blame me for the hell you're making

It's too late, it's too late
It's too late, it's too late
(It's too late, it's too late)

Don't you blame it on the drugs
Don't you blame it on the love
Don't you blame it on the drugs
Don't you blame it on the drugs

It's easier when everybody else is crazy
Don't blame me for the hell you're making
It's too late, it's too late
And you're throwing the shade on everybody else but you

It's too late, it's too late
And you're throwing the shade on everybody else but you
Don't blame it on the drugs
Don't you blame it on the drugs
Don't you blame it on the drugs

In your head

They are not afraid to be human
They are not afraid to let themselves participate
In the pains, difficulties and struggles
That naturally go with human existence
Seeing that all life is a magnificent illusion
A play of energy and there is absolutely nothing fundamental be afraid of

You will be afraid on the surface
You will be afraid of putting your hand in the fire
You will be afraid of getting sick
But you will not be afraid of fear
Fear will pass over your mind like a black cloud
Will be reflected in the mirror
Like the stars don't leave trails behind them
To drift like a cloud and flow like water

Existential dread, always in my head
Every little thing is at our fingertips ready to go
Pleasure and my pressure is a weapon and it's ready to blow

Blue light, appetites
Desire trades like currency
They seem so happy
But all I see is the end

It's like existential, existential dread
We're here for a moment
And then it's the end, the end, the end

No impulse control
Everyone's alone (hey)
I don't go to sleep 'cause I dream that I'm losing my teeth
You could like me better but I'm craving something sweet

Shapeless, nameless
It's always screaming in my head

It's like existential, existential dread
We're here for a moment
And then it's the end, the end, the end
Existential, existential dread
We're here for a moment
And then it's the end, the end, the end, go

Enjoy your f*cking wet dream
While you're floating down the mainstream
Good and evil is a thin line
Ones and zeros are a hard drive
Enjoy your f*cking wet dream
While you're floating down the mainstream
Good and evil is a thin line
Ones and zeros are a hard drive
Truth is time, truth is time

It's like existential, existential dread
We're here for a moment
And then it's the end, the end, the end
Existential, existential dread
We're here for a moment
And then it's the end, the end, the end, the end

And you're going on a journey (in your heart)
We are all floating in a tremendous river
Some of the people in the river are swimming against it
Others have learned that the art of it, the thing is to swim with it
The people who are swimming against it
Think they are going in the opposite direction
But they are still being carried along
That you, you have to flow with the river
And swim with it, there is no other way
But if on the other hand, you trust yourself with water and let go
You will float
And this is exactly the situation you face

And the river carries you along
And you're going on a journey
But a person who is not making that pretense anymore
Knows that you have to go with the river and swim with it
Suddenly he acquires the power of the river
The power of the river

The person swimming with it
He goes along and he has the whole river behind him
And the river carries you along

But the man who puts up a sail is using magic
He lets nature do it for him
The power of the river

The ocean's at my feet
And there's a mile or ten in front of me
And all the battles I've fought alone
Built a man who's standing here that you now know

Life is short and filled with struggle
It gives us more than it takes
It gives us just enough to keep our heads up

It'll take your heart and rip it out
It'll lift you up then knock you down
When it hurts the most just give it time, yeah
Like a diamond from a stone
It's in the pain that we grow
When it hurts the most just give it time, yeah

There's no running away, running away this time
From all of the things, all of the things that I hide
It took all these years to swallow my pride
It's a fight where no one gets out alive

Life is short and filled with struggle
It gives us more than it takes
It gives us just enough to keep our heads up

It'll take your heart and rip it out
It'll lift you up then knock you down
When it hurts the most just give it time, yeah
Like a diamond from a stone
It's in the pain that we grow
When it hurts the most just give it time, yeah

Give it time, yeah
Give it time, yeah
Give it time, time, time, yeah
Give it time, yeah

It'll take your heart and rip it out
It'll lift you up then knock you down
When it hurts the most just give it time, yeah
Like a diamond from a stone
It's in the pain that we grow
When it hurts the most just give it time, yeah
Give it time

We think ordinarily of the present
As an infinitesimal point at which the future changes into the past
And we also do a terrible thing
We imagine ourselves to be results of the past
We don't realize that the past is caused by the present
As the wake of a ship flows back from the prow
Now the wake doesn't drive the ship anymore than the tail wags the dog

That we've all got excuses
But the truth of the matter is, it all begins here
This is where the creation begins
And you're doing it and won't admit it
Because of course, you're all god in disguise
Jesus found that out and they crucified him for saying so

Stuck

I've always been the one to
Find a way t make a change
The wall and break through
You don't walk in my shoes
'Cause it would break you
Shut your mouth, know your place
'Cause now the debt is due, debt is due

Don't answer
I've got this attitude
From a lucky (?)
I pulled this out the dirt
I did the dirty work
You could bury the debt
Yeah, I got nothing to lose (nothing to lose)

It's over, it's over
It's my time, it's my time
This song is my closure
It's my time, it's my time

This is for the people who can't break through
I used to feel just like you, stuck

Uphill battles
Every day I'm at my breaking point
I lay the cards down on the table
To show you case and point
Speaking up to me again
But I cannot hear your voice
I've lost my sense of self
(?) Disappoint

Don't answer
I've got this attitude
From a lucky (?)
I pulled this out the dirt
I did the dirty work
You could bury the debt
Yeah, I got nothing to lose (nothing to lose)

It's over, it's over
It's my time, it's my time
This song is my closure
It's my time, it's my time

This is for the people who can't break through
I used to feel just like you, stuck

Stuck
(It's my time, my time)
Don't cut me out
(It's my time, my time)
Don't let me down
(It's my time, my time)
Don't cut me out
(It's my time, my time)

Suffocate the (?)
Don't try to rescue me
Don't deserve my own
Until they bury me
Don't die my (?)
You get the best of me
Nothing left to lose
Fall over just to die

This is for the people who can't break through (can't break through)
I used to feel just like you

(It's over, it's over, it's over)
It's my time
(It's over, it's over)
It's over

Everything is better when you're dreaming
Everything is better when you're dreaming
Locking all the doors in the house I haunt
Sleeping like a baby with the gas turned on
Everything is better when you're dreaming
Run for your life
Run

I don't remember how it starts
I was swimming in the dark
Heard a voice in the deep end
Is it a god or a demon?
It's there to take me to the stars
Boy, you'll have to leave your heart
At the bottom of the ocean
Watch it sink in slow motion

Something is waiting under my bed
Stealing the secrets in my head

Moving past the speed of sound
I leave my body on the ground
I'm searching for a feeling
'Cause I forgot what I believe in

There's never good timing when the angels call
It's hard to hear the sirens when the TV's on
'Cause everything is better when you're dreaming
So why am I afraid when I'm sleeping?

Something is waiting under my bed
Stealing the secrets in my head

Everything is better when you're dreaming
Everything is better when the world fades out
Everything is better when you're dreaming
Everything is better when you leave the ground
Run for your life
Run

(Something is waiting under my bed)
Everything is better when you're dreaming
Everything is better when the world fades out
Everything is better when you're dreaming
Everything is better when you leave the ground
Everything is better when you're dreaming

Exploring your motivations
And your dark unconscious depths
(Voice in the deep end, is it a god or a demon?)
So the holy person is like the ocean
(Or you'll have to leave your heart at the bottom of the ocean)
(Watch it sink in slow motion)

So the holy person is scary
See holiness is way beyond being good
Good people aren't necessarily holy people
A holy person is one who is whole
Who has as it were, reconciled his opposites
And so, there's always something slightly scary about holy people
And other people react to them in very strange ways
They can't make up their minds
Whether they are saints or devils (saints or devils)

Run
(Carnal nature)
(Everything is better when you're dreaming)
(Locking all the doors in the house I haunt)
(Sleeping like a baby with the gas turned on)
(Everything is better when you're dreaming)
Run for your life
(Carnal nature)
