Let It Play (2016)












They Will Believe (In This Love) lyrics - David Usher (with Alex Nevsky)

And so we stand under these stars
Waitin' for their light to wash us clean
And so we pray, holdin' our breath
Wake up in the dark, we're on our knees

And we will bend backwards again
For promises of gold we can't see
And we will laugh right till the end
Dancin' through the night until we bleed

And so we sing, losin' our faith
Losin' all the pride we will deny
And as we trade each piece away
The more that we confess, the less we try

And we will fall backwards again
For promise of a life we can't see
And we will run right till the end
Just before the truth, still on our knees

Here, under guard, light up the stars
They will believe in this love
Here, under guard, light up the stars
They will believe in this love

Here, under guard, light up the stars
They will believe in this love
Here, under guard, light up the stars
They will believe in this love

Here, under guard, light up the stars
They will believe in this love
Here, under guard, light up the stars
They will believe in this love

Here, under guard, light up the stars
They will believe in this love
Here, under guard, light up the stars
They will believe in this love

Black Black Heart (French Version) lyrics - David Usher (with Marie-Mai)

Notre beauté se déforme
J'ai le désordre au bout des doigts
Je te rends ce que tu donnes
Sous tes draps il n'y a plus de Dieu
Pour le plaisir de la peine
C'est le désir qui mène
Rien ne blesse, ma nation me laisse

Black, black heart
Mon cœur tourne au noir
Je te dessine dans les airs d'ici jusqu'en enfer
Jusqu'à toi
Mon corps en éclats
Je te prends tes reines et tes rois
All your sex and your diamonds

Tu me fais perdre le fil
Je m'abandonne à ce que tu veux
La terre tremble sur ton lit
Sous tes draps il n'y a plus de Dieu
Je veux faire le tour de ton univers
À genoux pour te plaire
Renier le temps
Emporté par le courant

Black, black heart
Mon cœur tourne au noir
Je te dessine dans les airs d'ici jusqu'en enfer
Jusqu'à toi
Mon corps en éclats
Je te prends tes reines et tes rois
All your sex and your diamonds

Black, black heart
Mon cœur tourne au noir
Je te dessine dans les airs d'ici jusqu'en enfer
Jusqu'à toi
Mon corps en éclats
Je te prends tes reines et tes rois
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds
All your sex and your diamonds

War Again lyrics - David Usher (with Karim Ouellet)

Little secrets like a leaf on the wind
But you keep it to yourself, no lies
We'll be helpless in our innocence
Bathe in all this circumstance
Never have to think about why

And so now, we're falling in and out of love
The story goes
I'll be flying like a bird through the ice and snow
Till I'm frozen and my wings have come unglued
You know I'll be crashing through the sky for you

So, we're falling into bed
Then you're messing with my head
Saying, this is the end
We're making love, we're making war again

We're told everything is black and then it's white
And we try hard to believe that this will be alright
Oh no, I've been told
Unless you wanna lose, you've gotta keep hold

And you know that I could feel it
'Cause I feel you in my bones
But the only way to love you is to let you go
Then you're waiting in the dark
Like a bullet to the heart
Can we take a breath before we start?

So, we're falling into bed
Then you're messing with my head
Saying, this is the end
We're making love, we're making war again

So, we're falling into bed
Then you're messing with my head
You're saying, this is the end
We're making love, we're making war again

Crash into these arms
To keep our bodies warm
Think I'm gonna die in this place tonight
Just falling through your arms

So, we're falling into bed
Then you're messing with my head
Saying, this is the end
We're making love, we're making war again

So, we're falling into bed
Then you're messing with my head
You're saying, this is the end
We're making love, we're making war again

Who Knows lyrics - David Usher

Who knows? Maybe it's just a dream
Just to try made in the sound
Before tired comes rush an end
Who knows? Maybe it's in my head
I've constructed each piece of life
Even all the people I know

Who knows? Maybe I have no heart
Just an endless home made a straight
And I've been wandering years for years
Who knows? Maybe I let you in
But the silence did last between you and me
And the nest is deafening

And what if this is just a dream of dark
And by tomorrow we'll all be gone
All these tears have been wasted for years
Be the year won't be long

And maybe this is how the story ends
And what if it's all just been a game
Say that what you put me away
Hold on as the memories fade

Who knows? Maybe I've lost the light
Just the echoing goes to the star
But that is millions years ago
Who knows? What if I let you in
All the anxious hand between you and me
But the space is deafening

And what if this is just a dream of dark
And by tomorrow we'll all be gone
All these tears have been wasted for years
Be the year won't be long

And maybe this is how the story ends
And what if it's all just been a game
Say that what you put me away
Hold on as the memories fade

Asleep Underwater lyrics - David Usher (with Caracol)

Close my eyes to see the fireworks
In my mind
Submerge myself in pixelated love
Every night
I light the match to burn the skin proves
I'm alive
To catch a tiny glimpse of hope that
Breaks me inside

Oh, this is the last chance
As we fall through the dark
Asleep underwater
Oh, this is the last chance
One more breath, one that lasts
Asleep underwater

Stumble through the party as it dies
Every night
Watch the comet blacking out the sky
Numb the mind
Undress everything I ever loved
Exposed the light
Tears were running wash the makeup clean
Say our goodbyes

Oh, this is the last chance
As we fall through the dark
Asleep underwater
Oh, this is the last chance
One more breath, one that lasts
Asleep underwater

"Wake Up And Say Goodbye" (2008)

The River lyrics - David Usher

I remember that I found you
Just waiting in the dark
Took me to the river where we always fell apart
And we lay amongst the rocks
Naked in the sand
Waiting for the moment that we hoped would never end
And I came to you for comfort
But I never stopped the pain
I remember we were smiling
As our bodies tore away

So take me to the river
I can almost feel it
The water's washing over me
And I don't even mind
And I know that you're screaming
I can barely hear it
The water's washing over me
And I don't even mind
I don't even mind
I don't even mind
I don't even mind

Woke up in the morning
As the lights began to freeze
Tried to stop the current changing of the leaves
Now it's frozen in the spotlight
Burns like the sun
Waiting for the moment that I knew would never come
So I held you close for comfort
But I couldn't stop the pain
Knew that we were dying
As our bodies tore away

So take me to the river
I can almost feel it
The water's washing over me
And I don't even mind
And I know that you're screaming
I can barely hear it
The water's washing over me
And I don't even mind
I don't even mind

There, by the shore, I am raw
I can almost taste it
Hope, like a drug, in the blood
I can feel it coming
Walk, till we fall, till we crawl
I can almost taste it
There in the blood
Like a drug
I can hear it coming

So take me to the river
I can almost feel it
The water's washing over me
And I don't even mind
And I know that you're screaming
I can barely hear it
The water's washing over me
And I don't even mind
[x2]
I don't even mind
I wash away
I wash away

We Are Wolves Here (Electric City) lyrics - David Usher

Live hate
Blind faith
Breathe deep
Takes me
We hold fast
Won't last
And night falls
It's just
It's just as well

And if we danced all night
Fell so deep
If we could live to tell
What our eyes have seen
We are wolves here
And so I held you tight
Dared to confess
So you could feel my body
Steal each breath
We are wolves here

Taste the electricity
City unwinds 'till we believe
And joy has left
Burns until it's dead

And if we danced all night
Fell so deep
If we could live to tell
What our eyes have seen
We are wolves here
And so I held you tight
Dared to confess
So you could feel my body
Steal each breath
We are wolves here

Live hate
Blind faith
And joy has left
Burns until it's dead

And if we danced all night
Fell so deep
If we could live to tell
What our eyes have seen
We are wolves here
And so I held you tight
Dared to confess
So you could feel my body
Steal each breath
We are wolves here

And So We Run lyrics - David Usher

Give me a sign
Give me a reason to hold on
I'm holding on
What is a life?
A series of moments
All in a line
Just passing by

And so I lay here awake
As all the clouds fall away
Then fast asleep in your arms
Wake up wonder where we are
Try to freeze frame the day
Then the light starts to fade
I will scream at the sky
'Til we drink the oceans dry
And so we run
And so we run
And so we run

Over the bridge
Back to the place where we were young
What we could've done
What did you find?
That we are naked under God
Lucky God is blind

And so I lay here awake
As all the clouds fall away
Then fast asleep in your arms
Wake up wonder where are
Try to freeze frame the day
Then the light starts to fade
I will scream at the sky
'Til we drink the oceans dry
And so we run
And so we run
And so we run
And so we run
And so we run
And so we run

Give me a sign
Give me a reason to hold on
I'm holding on

And so I lay here awake
As all the clouds fall away
Then fast asleep in your arms
Wake up wonder where we are
Try to freeze frame the day
Then the light starts to fade
I will scream at the sky
'Til we drink the oceans dry
And so we run
And so we run
And so we run
And so we run
And so we run
And so we run

My Biggest Mistake lyrics - David Usher

Help is on the way
Doctor he says that you're fine
Clean bill of health now
Cold crisp winter's day
Through car window trees rushing by
The medicine's poisoned my mind

And what did you think I would say?
And how did you think I could save you?
It's my biggest mistake
That I never did lie
I couldn't save you

Sit and stare for hours
Wait for the morning to come
Dream is a nightmare
Helplessly entwined
Your body like it's on fire
An alien love song tonight

And what did you think I would say?
And how did you think I could save you?
It's my biggest mistake
That I never realized
I couldn't save you

Help is on the way

And what did you think I would say?
And how did you think I could save you?
It's my biggest mistake
That I never realized
I couldn't save you

(Help is on the way
Doctor he says that you're fine
Clean bill of health now
Cold crisp winter's day...)

Wake Up And Say Goodbye lyrics - David Usher

Salvation's on the way
I caught the last flight headed for outer space
My ticket's all arranged
And if I left you there
Well that was my mistake
Baby's got the blues
Think that I'll write it all down
There's nothing I could do
In order to save myself
I had to cut you loose

Race across the universe
That separates the space between us
All your ghosts are calling at the speed of light I cannot feel
All the ghosts are calling, get no answer
Wake up and say goodbye

Lost you on the wind
And as those memories died, still I can't let you in
We all start to fade
Somehow still radiate
Baby's got the blues
I tried to write it all down
There's nothing I could do
In order to save yourself
You had to cut me loose

Race across the universe
That separates the space between us
All your ghosts are calling at the speed of light I cannot feel
All the ghosts are calling, get no answer
Wake up and say goodbye

Race across the universe
That separates the space between us
All your ghosts are calling at the speed of light I cannot feel
All the ghosts are calling, get no answer
Wake up and say goodbye

Race across the universe
That separates the space between us (Wake up and say goodbye)
All your ghosts are calling at the speed of light I cannot feel (Wake up and say goodbye)
All the ghosts are calling, get no answer
Wake up and say goodbye

Kill The Lights lyrics - David Usher

Sleep, dear
The world has gone quiet
I know you'll wake up again when you feel the sun
So please breathe
I know you're pretending
There's blood at the discotheque
So sick what we've become
Come on let go

And kill the lights
'Cause they're blinding me
I've been watching all the stars go by
Devil takes my hand
And now they've seen our blackest hearts
Now they've seen the hole inside
Come on take my hand

I know
You're broken on the inside
The city is flowing through you, that's what you've become
So please breathe
There's nothing worth saving
There's love at the discotheque
So sick what we have done
Come on let go

And kill the lights
'Cause they're blinding me
I've been watching all the stars go by
Devil takes my hand
And now they've seen our blackest hearts
Now they've seen the hole inside
Come on take my hand
Come on take me

And if I die before I wake
Into the light
If I could bend, but never break
And live a lie
And should we die
Before we wake
(Goodbye)
Come on let go

And kill the lights
'Cause they're blinding me
I've been watching all the stars go by
Devil takes my hand
And now they've seen our blackest hearts
Now they've seen the hole inside
Come on take my hand
Come on take me

Another bitter love song, Tokyo skyline burns so bright
Never ever wanna let you go, go
Left you on the dance floor, dying in the spotlight
Don't be scared
Never ever gonna let you go, go, go, go, go, go



Everyday Things lyrics - David Usher

It's everyday things
Like coffee to go
Like watching your mouth move through the words
Like a million times before
I'm watching the rain
Just to see how it falls
Watching the light fade from your eyes
As we start to numb
It's everyday things
Time stands still
There's blood on my fingertips
Do you feel the chill?

And then the waves come crashing
I can feel the weight of water
I can hear the angels singing
They're laughing, yeah, they're laughing at us
Day by day, and it's moment after moment
I can hear the people singing
They're laughing, yeah, they're laughing at us now

Before it gets light
Before we're undone
Before the white noise takes us over
Before they can speak
All crowded around
Before the wrong words take us over

And then the waves come crashing
I can feel the weight of water
I can hear the angels singing
They're laughing, yeah, they're laughing at us
Day by day, and it's moment after moment
I can hear the people singing
They're laughing, yeah, they're laughing at us now

It's everyday things
Like coffee to go
Like watching your mouth move through the words
Like a million times before
It's everyday things
When time stands still
There's blood on your fingertips
Do you feel the chill?

And then the waves come crashing
I can feel the weight of water
I can hear the angels singing
They're laughing, yeah, they're laughing at us
Day by day, and it's moment after moment
I can hear the people singing
They're laughing, yeah, they're laughing at us now

They're laughing at us now
They're laughing at us now
They're laughing at us now
They're laughing at us now

I Am The Weapon lyrics - David Usher

Walking underwater
Sinking in the sand
Thought I saw the future
It's just out of reach
Weighs me like an anchor
Wraps around our feet
Drags me to the city
I can see
You and I are helpless
Falling like the leaves
Blowing through the city

I am the weapon
I am the weapon
I am the weapon
I am the weapon

Forget the world I promised
Take only what you need
Things that really matter
You know that we're helpless
Just waiting on our knees
And nothing really matters

I am the weapon
I am the weapon
I am the weapon
I am the weapon

So we crumble into sand
Takes the better part of me
Leaves me waiting by the shore
And I don't care, I don't care
I don't need you
I won't ever let go
So we crumble 'til it's gone, gone, gone

Walking underwater
Sinking in the sand
Thought I saw the future

I am the weapon
I am the weapon
I am the weapon
I am the weapon
I am the weapon
I am the weapon

Airplanes lyrics - David Usher

Sold myself out for a pocket of lies
Into the sea, you threw us into the sea
Took yourself out on a holiday
Pay the way, I always pay the way
Everybody wants a 9 to 5
Typical lies, I said more typical lies
Only wanted to be by your side
You're making it hard to survive

And these airplanes
Flying in the fast lane
And they push on through
Yeah, they push on through
It's killing me
The weight of your gravity
And they push on through
Yeah, they push on through

Cliche le Chez is just the name I use
Into the sea, I threw us into the sea
Underwhelming just a game we play
Come on down, you'll never be set free
Took myself out on a holiday
Pay the way, I always pay the way
Only wanted to be by your side
You're making it hard to survive

And these airplanes
Flying in the fast lane
And they push on through
Yeah, they push on through
It's killing me
The weight of your gravity
And they push on through
Yeah, they push on through

And these airplanes
Flying in the fast lane
And they push on through
Yeah, they push on through
It's killing me
The weight of your gravity
And they push on through
Yeah, we push on through

These airplanes
Flying in the fast lane
And they push on through
Yeah, they push on through
It's killing me
The weight of your gravity
And they push on through
Yeah, they push on through

These airplanes
Flying in the fast lane
And they push on through
Yeah, they push on through
It's killing me
The weight of your gravity
And they push on through
Yeah, they push on through

Secret Garden lyrics - David Usher

So you hustle 'til the pain grows
Fighting 'til the needle calls
Always when the needle calls
So you hustle 'til the pain grows too strong
So you hustle 'til the pain grows
Fighting 'til the needle calls
Always when the needle calls
So you suffer 'til the pain goes too long

Left the city just to save myself
Headed west, looking for that ocean breeze
It's down in Santa Monica, where the wind blows strong
And the saltwater washes you clean
Walking through the dollar store
Aisle five, head down, daydream, looking up and there you are
Hey girl, what you doing out here?
It's been a long time now

Go for coffee then we talk, talk
Reminiscing talk, talk
On and on, all about the things we missed
But always just behind the smile
You've got the same sad eyes

In your secret garden
There is no one
Who gets the key to your heart
Your poison flowers survive for hours
But now they're tearing you up
And we all change
We all decay
When our hearts are broken down

Take a weekend, take a week
I'm falling fast, I'm falling deep
Here we go, it's just like it was before
No matter what I do, or what I say
You'll never let me in
You've been working out in Hollywood
Easy money, fucked up job, back on the street
We both know it's no good
But every night you're heading there
You've got the same sad eyes

In your secret garden
There is no one
Who gets the key to your heart
Your poison flowers survive for hours
But now they're tearing you up
And we all change
We all decay
When our hearts are broken
We find new ways to face the day
When our hearts are broken down

So cold, so sickly twisted, beautiful
And time will not be kind
Your cancer grows so deep inside of you
And I cannot rewind

In your secret garden
There is no one
Who gets the key to your heart
Your poison flowers survive for hours
But now they're tearing you up
And we all change
We all decay
When our hearts are broken
And find a way to face the day
When our hearts are broken
And we all change
We all decay
When our hearts are broken down
When our hearts are broken down
Where we all get broken

When It Hurts lyrics - David Usher

On the wind
Take hold of the tiger's tail
It's tragic when first love dies
Religious when stars collide

When it hurts
Don't let go
Give up hope
As we're falling back down to the earth
Lightning fails
We all know
That no one can lead us back home

Open wide
Invite all the world inside
Never would, hard to take
The pleasure has been all mine

When it hurts
Don't let go
Give up hope
As we're falling back down to the earth
Lightning fails
We all know
That no one can lead us back home

When it hurts
Don't let go
Give up hope
As we're falling back down to the earth
Lightning fails
We all know
That no one can lead us back home

When it hurts
Don't let go
No one can lead us back home

Speak / Listen lyrics - David Usher

Speak, listen, I can't fight
I'm crumbling inside
These voices in my head
All lead me on
Speak, listen, I've got chills
These conversations kill me
I fall down at your feet
They lead me on

Take this love
Take this love
Take this love

Speak, listen, no more tears
There's nothing left to fear
We can't get back again
So please don't cry
Just open up your eyes
I'm not the man I used to be
We can't get back again, no

Take this love
Take this love
Take this love

Take this love
Take this love
Take this love

Take this love
Take this love
Take this love

Take this love
Take this love
Take this love

"Strange Birds" (2007)

The Music lyrics - David Usher

Baby, baby, don't be late
The world is ending I can't change
The way I feel about you now
New York is cold as ever
But still I go out every night
And hide myself among the lights
Bathe in all the pretty things the city brings
The bodies glisten and they shine
Like the stars we're born to die
And like these roses we all will fade

I'm counting the cars on the freeway below
Lost in the music all the foolishness of our lives
Speeding out of control
Lost in the music in the music

Baby, baby, please don't cry
Wipe the guilt out from your eyes
And leave your conscience on the bed
There's no one innocent here
In the mirror you'll find faith
Plastic flowers never fade but we all turn to grey

I'm counting the cars on the freeway below
Lost in the music all the foolishness of our lives
Speeding out of control
Lost in the music in the music

I'm counting the cars on the freeway below
Counting the lights
In the end of it all

I'm counting the cars on the freeway below
Lost in the music
in the music
in the music
in the music
in the music
in the music
in the music

Brilliant lyrics - David Usher

So far so good
Stumble through life so complicated it's nearly Impossible
And i lost my way like i knew i would and keep it Together somehow anyway
And i remember you and me
Climbing over backyard fences diving naked in the Swimming pool
All those faces friends those memories fade so fast
Like every love song on the radio

Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are low
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are

Through a million days through a million hazy nights
We sit amusing in our politics
Through wine and talk through sex and art we fill our time
And numb ourselves with what's to come
But i'm older now got a little girl of my own
And her fears are my fears now
I know that it's the end of days for moderates
But thinking people are thinking still

Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are low
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are

So far so good
Stumble through life so complicated it's nearly Impossible
And we lost our way like i knew we would
And keep it together somehow anyway
Woke up from an impossible dream
And we talked and we spoke and we drank and we sang
And we danced and we live and we love and we give
Without question or faith then we fight till we hate
And we hope and we pray that this violence will fade
It's always the same it's the same life

Ugly Is Beautiful lyrics - David Usher

Day by day we fall apart
Disintegrate the lightning rains across the sky But comes too late
To change the mood and save us now
It's criminal the way we love
The way we hate it's almost human
Eyes are opened wide

Stood on the rooftop scream at the sky again
Dance to the radio end of the world we know
Ugly is beautiful beauty in stereo
Thinking of you
Just like the earth spins high as a kite again
There with the river flow end of the life i've known
Ugly is beautiful beauty so terrible
Thinking of you

All the words we throw away
Like paper cuts they just keep piling
Higher and higher throughout the day
Illogical the script we're writing
It's chemical the way we love
The way we hate it's quite inhuman
Eyes are opened wide

Stood on the rooftop scream at the sky again
Dance to the radio end of the world we know
Ugly is beautiful beauty in stereo
Thinking of you
Just like the earth spins high as a kite again
There with the river flow end of the world we've known
Ugly is beautiful beauty so terrible
Thinking of you

So Far Down lyrics - David Usher

Scars are piling high
Like fashion magazines
Read between the lines
So desperate for release
Get your new tattoo
So we'll all look the same
Take the chemicals
That help you through the day
Step outside your door
Do we all look the same?
No one says a word

We all get by
Above the lights
And it seems so far down and it's so far
This city tonight
We are on fire
And it seems so far down and it's so far

Sell yourself so cheap
I'll buy another round
I swear we're getting out
Still we choke it down
Coming up for air
Been weakened at the knees
No one says a word

We all get by
Above the lights
And it seems so far down and it's so far
This city tonight
We are on fire
And it seems so far down and it's so far

Spotlight On lyrics - David Usher

Caught on the train
amuse myself and eavesdrop on those japanese girls Party-planning
Chic and lovely broken english
She smiles at me and mouths that we're all fools

That's new york style
Endless nights keep rushing by
We wander out onto the sidewalk
Cigarettes are piling high
Hustlers and the queens are singing

Still we are
Invincible
We thought we'd be forever young
Standing here beneath the sign
With spotlight on

Missed the rain
Coming home it's early morning
Wait outside the sunshine market
Desperate in our invitation
Asking all those lovers just to stay
Drift away
Through the buildings dawn is breaking
All the people line for coffee
Read about the day's disasters
Hustlers and the queens are singing

Still we are
Invincible
We thought we'd be forever young
Standing here beneath the sign
With spotlight on

Science lyrics - David Usher

I'm stuck here in the middle of
This mess that i don't understand
Come on wake up
Open my eyes
It's raining on fifth avenue
The lovers have all gone to ground
I know you're crying
But i don't ask why
Make pleasantries with everyone
We're cruelest to the ones we love
Just keep smiling now

Your science is breaking my heart in two
And I know that we will soon be enemies
Time will tell

I'm watching too much television
They tell me all the news is bad
I don't even care
I don't ask why
We used to want the same things
We never want the same things now
Come on wake up

All of the stars are falling from the sky
These oceans open wide
And drag me under
As these rivers start to green and the waves keep Crashing in
And drag me under

White Flag lyrics - David Usher

Took the acid in the afternoon
Just to be part of the scenery with all the lonely People there we are
Took a trip out to the galaxy
I'm not looking for salvation just a taste of liberation
I said my friends
Like to sit all day and watch the stars bend

I can see your white flag flying in the distance
I know that it's lonely there where you are
If everything is perfect tell me why you're hurting
It won't be long

Took a trip out to the girly show
It was there i talked to jesus he said christ Don't you believe it
Another drink and we talked all night
I asked does it hurt to be you he said boy it hurts like hell
He said my friends
Like to sit all day and watch the stars bend

I can see your white flag flying in the distance
I know that you're lonely there where you are
If everything's so perfect tell me why you're hurting
It won't be long

Three am and the light's so strange
Little rosa's started dancing now with all the lonely people there we are
Leans to me asks for a cigarette
I asked does it hurt to be you
She said boy it hurts like hell
She said my friends like to sit all day and watch the stars bend

Happy Endings lyrics - David Usher

So this is midnight
I can feel the coming storm
My perverted butterfly
You begin to be transformed
And we are drained out
Emptied in the atmosphere
Fashionable as suicide
Never thought it'd feel so real

These happy endings are just illusions
Dying every day that we go by
Here i'm stripped naked for the conclusion
It's killing me a little at a time

In this silence
We design a different life
Strategies of compromise
Lovers lose their appetites
And are we hopeless
Underneath the diamond sky
Longing turns to bitterness
Modern love just can't survive

These happy endings are just illusions
Dying every day that we go by
Here i'm stripped naked for the conclusion
It's killing me a little at a time

And i walk and i fall till i can't feel a thing
I am sick of the sound of my own shattered mind
I don't know who i am
I don't know where we all will be

Life Of Bees lyrics - David Usher

Always believed we could fly through this life of bees
Seems so illogical
Withered and worn you decide to burn off your wings
I've grown so uncomfortably numb
With the skin i've been living in

The wings they uncurl
Like the strangest of birds
We're all breaking down again
As I look to the sky
Through the fallout tonight
We're all breaking down again

Quietly the blind leading the blind deny all our senses
Feels quite unusual
Pretending the cruelty is kind still you defend it
And I feel so uncomfortably numb
With the pain that you're living in

The wings they uncurl
Like the strangest of birds
We're all breaking down again
As I look to the sky
Through the fallout tonight
We're all breaking down again

Blue lyrics - David Usher

Breathe blood is in the water
Hold on tight i'm coming
I'll be there soon
Keep your eyes high on the horizon
All the clouds are falling
Between me and you

And you've grown so cold
Too numb to notice
That the sky has turned so blue

Fight even underwater
Struggle makes it harder
There's nothing left to do
Don't close your eyes even for a moment
Even for one second
I'll be there soon

And we close our eyes
Too numb to notice
That the sky has turned so blue

Some People Say lyrics - David Usher

Still the snow keeps falling
Till we can't keep out the cold
But they don't know
That my back was broken there
I'm so numb i can hardly move
You don't know

And so you give love too easily some people say

And i dreamt i was flying
And i left you so far below
Where i can't see
When the world is crumbling
It's so hard just to watch you bleed
But you can't see

And so we give love too easily some people say

And my back was broken
I'm so cold I can hardly breathe
You can't see

Don't give up

"If God Had Curves" (2005)

Long Goodbye lyrics - David Usher

Just a reminal case like the fish on a hook im baited
youre welcome inside my armies are marching i cat save you who could save you
i can see that from your wounds your open wide
its coming clear now that youre leaving you forgot the eople that you've left behind
this is the long goodbye try to keep smiling as these tears break from my eyes
this is the way i used to feel guess ill be trading down from something much more real
caught in a terrible wind with a kick in your teeth you blew me in anime eyes youve never been wuite
sure what your losing but you know youre losing so ill burn these bridges from the other side
and in the end its all inllusion you forgot the people youve left behind
this is the long long goodbye try to keep smiling as these tears break from my eyes
this is the way i use to feel guess ill be trading down for something much more real
never been quite sure what your losing but you know your losing
i can see that from your wounds youre open wide
its coming clear now that im leaving
i forgot the love that i left behind

Love Will Save The Day lyrics - David Usher

[Woman's voice:] It really is a revolution.

The pornography made me do it
So those drugs that got us high
Was the thoughts of revolution
They've been poisoning my mind
So I'm walking down to the water
You keep coming up for air
All those people, they don't give a damn
They just stood around and stare
And I say,

Love will save the day [x4]

Come on sell me more of your religion
'cause it's sure to make a change
Last night god was on the TV screen
Taking dollars for their pain
Come on talk about that evolution
It's been poisoning my mind
I've been looking for a saviour
I've been waiting for a sign
And I said,

Love will save the day [x4]

I am walking
I am breathing
I can't hold you
I can't set you free
[x2]

[Woman's voice:] We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned. We are really talking about Humanism.

Love will save the day
If love will save the day [x2]
If love will save today

Maybe tomorrow [x10]

Souring lyrics - David Usher

Daylight mornings creeping in had the blackest bream
are you souring
and i dreamt that i wiped all the blood from your eyes
woke up thinking i love you
but i cant say why
so please leave your fucking money at the door
condede you know youll be coming back for more
were all looking for gold here midnight and you inch along
devils in the backyard now where it all went wrong
and i drinik myself sick so i wont see you crawl
guess i drained all your beauty to watch you dissolve
so drink myself sick so i wont see you crawl
guess i dreained all youre beauty to watch you dissolve
so please leave you fucking money at the door
concede you know youll be coming back for more
were all looking for gold here and i hate that i need you
and i dont know why
and i hate that i need
and i dont know why
so please
leave your fucking money at the door
concede you know youll be coming back for more
were all looking for gold here

See You Fall lyrics - David Usher

Just another afternoon and im choking down tea for two
when youve flown so far away
and you know im waiting
then the consequence of rage comes crashing through the living room floor
when i thought id found a life seems ive been mistaken
so i take the paid holiday
but i just cant set foot on the plane
well your voice gets in the way
guess ill drive cross sountry
i see you fall well my suits been pressed and cleaned
and ive never seen these people before
so we wander through the town
and we sing our sad songs
as i lower you into the ground
and youve never seen these people before with the bullets falling all around
and they sing their sad songs
i see you fall

Everything Is All Right By Me Now lyrics - David Usher

Conscience has come its incest as always
made us believers
i am not the one
wanting fought off desire
everything is alright by me now
nervous and numb
flew over the top of it
outstretched each arm with a reason for being
fought off denils
everything is arlight by me now
i can feel it
life is changing just around the bend
its waiting i can feel it
life is changing just around the bend
its waiting
smile at the world
an unconscious ending take one last look
mine is not the one wanting
undress desire
everything is alright by ne now
i can feel it
life is changing just around the bend
its waiting
i can feel it
life is changing just around the bend
its waiting

Hope (Tell Everyone) lyrics - David Usher

Light breathe exhale
the damage is done
tonight we've failed
so tell everyone
the ships have gone by
tell everyone
i took them from the sky
you are the one
who gives me hope
you are the one
who gives me hope
tell everyone
wait fight don't hide
the sun has gone pale
I'm locked outside
the desert's gone cold
these flowers wont survive
the mountains just laugh
and smile as we go by
you are the one
who gives me hope
you are the one
who gives me hope
tell everyone

Hey Kids lyrics - David Usher

Speak speaking for myself

the bleeding of the hear
you let your missiles fire
and we all start to run

Faithless lyrics - David Usher

Lord oh lord

its dragging me down
dont know why we live in fear not harmony
cant stop time were always moving on
dont know why were always running away

Going Home lyrics - David Usher

Here it comes again at 3 am
that empty space it just takes my breath away
walk outside its the strangest thing
snow has fallen radiates
i dont know but ive been told
all i know is what i see had such a sweet dream
it end in disaster
and somehow you could not find your way back through the door
im seeing the car crash
the end of the love song and eve now i cant make it back
wehre you are
im going home new york citys become a friend to me
and every street helps to wash out clean my memory
all of the faces they hide the light
i feel that change but the change passes me by
i dont know but ive been told
all i know is waht i see had such a sweet dream
it end in disaster and somehow i could not find my way back through the door
i follow the side walks and all of you footprints
but somehow i could not make it back to wehre you are
im going home

The Wolves lyrics - David Usher

Walk dont run or these wolves will chase you down keep your heart well buried underground and we are
vicious enough without love were ugly enough without love sleep doing sleep im coming after you the
leaves are in the fall of full release you know theyll rip you throuh and we are guilty enough wihtout
hate were ugly enough without love we may find a better day

"Hallucinations" (2003)

Hallucinations lyrics - David Usher

Breathe
Hallicinations start to fade
All the colours are back to grey
I never understood these things I hated,
But now, as we all disappear
The world becomes quiet clearly
Something I can live in
If I could just get through tonight

The poison's in my head
And I can't feel my legs
I'm not feeling anything

I'm standing at the top looking down
Thought I'd be so free
Float in outerspace, take a breath
Don't you breathe too deep
I'm standing at the top looking down,
Thought it'd be so damn easy
I thought it would be easier

Wait, hallucinations back in place
I said I'd call if I can't face
Another day of normal
That's what they gave me
But now the telephone's on fire
And I can't seem to dial
Even though I know
You're there to save my soul tonight

The poison's in my head
And I can't feel my legs
I'm not feeling anything
I can't feel anything

I'm standing at the top looking down
Thought I'd be so free
Float in outerspace, take a breath
Don't you breathe too deep
Stepping off the top, feel the wind
Underneath my feet

Standing at the top looking down
Float in outerspace; there's no sound

The poison's in my head
And I can't feel my legs
I'm not feeling anything

I'm standing at the top looking down
Thought I'd be so free
Float in outerspace, take a breath
Don't you breathe too deep
Stepping off the top, feel the wind
Underneath my feet

Standing at the top looking down
Float in outerspace; there's no sound

I feel alive
I feel alive
I feel alive...

I'm Coming Down lyrics - David Usher

Turn the lights out,
The party is over and the wines all gone,
Your good friends are headed home,
Wish I could be there,
I'm floating,
Was happy to hear you turned thirty-three,
You look good, you're so carefree,
Wish I could be there

But I thought you should know,
That inside I've grown cold,
And I fight every day to lose control,
It's a Saturday,
I'm coming down

Frustrated,
Got caught in the rain going to work today,
Soaked through for the job I hate,
I wish you could be here,
I'm choking,
Swallowed to much of my pride today,
The words that I just won't say,
I wish you could be here

But I thought you should know,
That inside I've grown cold,
And I fight every day to lose control,
It's a Saturday,
I'm coming down

For the first time, I've seen stars at night,
For the first time, I'm on fire

But I thought you should know,
That inside I've grown cold,
And I fight every day to lose control,
It's a Saturday,
I am coming down,
It's a Saturday,
I'm coming down.

Numb lyrics - David Usher

Hey, have you fallen off the shelf?
Can I help you get yourself, back together?
I'm so tired, can I help you save yourself?

Have your friends all changed?
All the people that you thought would be around,
As your light goes grey,
Are you losing all the hope you thought you'd found,
I think we're numb [x3]

Hey, have you found somebody new?
Have you found yourself unglued, for the first time in your life?
Can I help you save yourself?

Have your friends all changed?
All the people that you thought would be around,
As your life goes grey,
Are you losing all the hope you thought we'd found,
I think we're numb [x6]

And tell me do you feel like dying?
Tell me does it hurt just waking?
Tell me have you lost the reasons you ever wanted to fight?
Has it left you lonely?
Tell me do you pray for morning?
Tell me does it hurt just waking?
Tell me have you lost the reasons you ever wanted to fight?
And you know it's all impossible.

And nothing feels the same,
Life is full now,
Every morning when the light comes in,
Everybody sings the same song tonight,
Better fly away, yeah

Have your friends all changed?
All the people that you thought would be around,
As your light goes grey,
Are you losing all the hope you thought you'd found,
I think we're numb. [x9]

Time Of Our Lives lyrics - David Usher

I once saw a man on fire
Staring at his window
Watching as the flames grew higher and higher
I thought that i saw him cry
Or was he only laughing
As his life went rushing on..

And maybe we're just like him..
Maybe we're all waiting
For our moment to begin

Who of us are open
Who of us have freedom really
Who of us can tell what these dark days will bring
All of us are hurting
All of us are crazy now
All of us are watching the world as it spins

I once had bird like u
A bird of prey
Still your tearing at my insides
And yesterday when you flew so far away
If you find the morning save a piece for me

Who of us are open
Who of us have freedom really
Who of us can tell what these dark days will bring
All of us are hurting
All of us are crazy now
We're crazy now..

I'll smoked a cigerette
I'll eat the flesh instead
Another whiskey more or less
Or more or less, yea
I like the drugs that sail
I love u when we fail
When we fail

I once saw a man on fire
Staring at his window
Watching as the flames grew higher and higher
I thought that i saw him cry
Or was he only laughing
Laughing..

Who of us are open
Who of us have freedom really
Who of us can tell what these dark days will bring
All of us are hurting
All of us are crazy now
We're crazy now..

All of us are hating
All of us are dreaming
All of us are watching these times of our lives
We want it all
We want for nothing
For nothing now

Devil By My Side lyrics - David Usher

Believe in hope,
Believe in faith,
Believe in things I can't fight,
Believe in truth,
Believe in slavery,
But it's only the television kind,
Believe that light will find a way,
Believe in jets as they blow into the sky
Believe in you, believe in me,
And all of these things,

Devil by my side,
And the freaks are out we're in force tonight,
And you opened me wide,
'Cause it's cold in there and it's warm outside

Believe that hate will never die,
Believe in sex and love in a dangerous time,
Believe in grace and your intelligence,
Believe in exploring the corners of the mind,
Believe your truth is not my truth,
That God can exist with many faces at one time,
Believe that we will find a way through all of these things,

Devil by my side,
And the freaks are out we're in force tonight,
And you opened me wide,
'Cause it's cold in there and it's warm outside,
Hard when you realize that you'll never have what you're trying to find.

Message Home lyrics - David Usher

If I fell in love,
Would you sort me out,
Would you take me deep,
Would you go without?
If I never leave,
Took the pills again,
Would you love me more?

If I buried you,
Would you bury me?
If I broke in two,
Would that set me free?
If I never need,
Took the life again,
Would you love me more?

And what did you think we would find?
Traveled a million miles but still no sign,
And what did they think we would find?
Pilot to anyone, we've all gone blind

If I'll only need you,
We'll keep it complicated,
If you never find out,
Will we still be waiting,
If I'm too strung out,
And I follow you,
Would you need me more?

If I never try,
And we never take,
If we never bend,
Then we'll never break,
If we stimulate,
And we sexualize,
Will you need it more?

And what did you think we would find?
Traveled a million miles but still no sign,
And what did they think we would find?
Pilot to anyone we've all gone

So I'm not in love,
I can sort it out,
You can't take me any deeper,
Or I will go without,
If we never need,
All the pills again,
Would you love me more?

If I war on you,
Will you war on me?
If I break you down,
Will that set you free?
If we never need,
The life again,
Would you love me more,
And more?

And what did you think we would find?
Traveled a million miles but still no sign,
And what did they think we would find?
Pilot to anyone we've all gone blind

Message home.

In This Light lyrics - David Usher

Hey, are you asleep now?
I thought I heard you talking,
Cause they're draining out my heart,
And I think I know what's coming,
They can't leave this alone

My oceans are expanding,
And all us fish are drowning inside,
There's pollution on the tide,
And this ship of fools I'm rolling with,
Can't keep me alive

But in this light,
I can see the angels burning from the inside out,
They spread their wings to die,
In this light,
I can see the people, the damaged goods they take this life,
It's passing by

You know that we're sinking,
All your jewels are dragging us down,
But I'm running out of blood taking money over love,
We can't hope to survive,
So ask me if I'm hungry,
While everybody's starving inside,
But the doctor's never there and this medication,
Doesn't really keep me controlled

But in this light,
I can see the angels burning from the inside out,
They spread their wings to die,
In this light,
I can see the people, the damaged goods they take this life,
It's passing by

You,
You know that I'm not that strong,
No one can get out,
I'm not able now,
You,
I know you're here to change,
We all stay the same,
I'm not able now

Are you asleep now,
I thought I heard you talking,
Cause they're draining out my heart,
And I think I know what's coming,
They can't leave this alone

But in this light,
I can see the angels burning from the inside out,
They spread their wings to die,
In this light,
I can see the people, the damaged goods they take this life,
It's passing by

You,
You know that I'm not that strong,
No one can get out,
I'm not able now,
You,
I know you're here to change,
We all stay the same,
I'm not able now,
I'm not able now,
Now.

Surfacing lyrics - David Usher

Car crash East side of town,
The waters deep here you can feel your own strength fading,
You're beginning to let go,
The bubbles rise as we go down,
Underwater, overwhelmed,
Can't fight the current here
It's starting to take hold

But high above me I can see the surface now,
The picture perfect life is fading out of view,
And high above me I can feel the world,
But I don't need it [x3],
I just need you,
I just need you

Then you grow colder like a dream,
I can't believe the practical things,
They're always out of reach,
And I know you're not really here,
These visions fly so quickly on the edge,
They've started to take hold

But high above me I can see the surface now,
The picture perfect life is fading out of view,
And high above me I can feel the world,
But I don't need it [x3]

Won't you help me with this loneliness?
'Cause I don't know what's wrong or right,
Underneath the truth,
Won't you help me with this bitterness,
'Cause I can't seem to walk outside

Car crash East side of town,
The waters deep here I can feel my own strength fading,
I'm beginning to let go,
The bubbles rise as I go down,
I hit the bottom, overwhelmed,
Can't fight the current here
It's starting to take hold

But high above me I can see the surface now,
The picture perfect life is fading out of view,
And high above me I can feel the world,
But I don't need it [x9],
I just need you,
I just need you,
I just need you,
I just need you.

Tomorrow Comes lyrics - David Usher

I can see miles above the clouds,
And what was it like on the day you fell to Earth,
Knocked you out cold it's just as well,
Cause people are cruelest when they don't know

Hello, hello,
The ships are leaving late this evening,
Hello, hello,
You can't deny that you don't need it now

Where will we be when tomorrow comes?
When all the stars are dying in the sky?
Where will we be when tomorrow comes?
Only the satellites are circling tonight,
Tonight

I can see blood behind your eyes,
And what was it like, on the day you knew you died?
Knocked up on things I don't know why,
Cause people are cruelest when they won't mind,

Hello, hello,
The ships are leaving late this evening,
Hello, hello,
You can't pretend that you don't need it now

Where will we be when tomorrow comes?
When all the stars are dying in the sky?
Where will we be when tomorrow comes?
Only the satellites are circling tonight,
Tonight

Hello, hello,
The ships are leaving late this evening,
Hello, hello,
You can't deny that you don't need it now

Where will we be when tomorrow comes?
When all the stars are dying in the sky?
Where will we be when tomorrow comes?
Only the satellites are circling

Where will we be when tomorrow comes?
When all the stars are dying in the sky?
Where will we be when tomorrow comes?
Only the satellites are circling tonight,
Satellites are circling, tonight

What was it like just to have it all,
Then it slipped right through your hands,
How did it feel at that moment,
When the Earth stopped turning?

Fearless lyrics - David Usher

We are all just aching, we're waiting,
For heartbreak in this world of light and darkness,
I lost it, the ability, to see myself more
Clearly I lost it,
The ability to see

Have you found what you've been looking for?
Now you've killed all your enemies,
But you still want more,
When your hate finds the love, that it can't destroy,
And when the cancers all gone,
We're still growing old, old, older

I know that your fearless, I bought it,
What brought you to your knees?
Your rage is visible so nearly,
Intelligence sets you free,
My mind is clearly undoing,
The ability, to see

Have you found what you've been looking for?
Now you've killed all your enemies,
But you still want more,
When your hate finds the love, that it can't destroy,
And when the cancers all gone,
You're still growing old, old, older

To see, have you found what you've been looking for?
Now you've killed all your enemies,
But you still want more,
When your hate finds the love, that it can't destroy,
And when the guilt is all gone,
We're still growing old.

If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next lyrics - David Usher

The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists

Bullets for your brain today
But we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

Gravity keeps my head down
Or is it maybe shame
At being so young
And being so vain

Holes in your head today
But I'm a pacifist
I've walked las ramblas
But not with real intent

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

And on the street tonight an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate thisThen your children will be next

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next
Will be next
Will be next

And on the street tonight an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days

How Are You lyrics - David Usher


How are you
How are you
How are you
How are you

Had a dream I could turn back time
Had to stop to rewind my memory
Had a vision of the ruby sky we were riding high
On our own pink elephant
Another day in this fucked up life
Another struggle just to get through nine to five
Maybe it was only ego talking
But I always thought we were innocent

How are you
How are you

Had the answer on my fingertips
'Til I lost it in the wind like a friend I'll never find
Deep in the belly is a love so thick
And I thought I had it but makes me sick now
I'm imagining the fields so green
But I would settle for the the truth in anything
Where I'm floating I can't feel my skin
But I might get home
Hey, I might get back again

How are you
How are you
How are you
How are you
How are you
How are you

Had a dream I could turn back time
Had to stop to rewind my memory
Had a vision of the ruby sky we were riding high
On our own pink elephant
Another day in this fucked up life
Another struggle just to get through nine to five
Where I'm floating I can't feel my skin
But I might get home
I might get back again

How are you
How are you
How are you
How are you
How are you
How are you

Too Close To The Sun lyrics - David Usher

High above your atmosphere
Do they all still cheer for who they think we are
And once more past the sun again
Feelings sinking in I think we've gone to far

And why did you fly did you burn
Can't you learn from my mistakes
I have made them so I know

Bored just one more cup of tea
All the stars and me they'll teach me how to shine
'Cause life it's so much colder here
I'll absorb your fears and bury them inside

And why did you fly did you burn
Can't you learn from my mistakes
I have made them so I know

You're too close to the sun
You're too close to the sun
You're too close to the sun
You're too close to the sun
You're too close to the sun

Things we found so lovely
Turn so ugly
I've grown nakeder day by day
It's quite disarming I find it alarming
When everybody's listening

Why did you fly did you burn
Can't you learn from what weve learned
I can't see you anymore

You're too close to the sun
You're too close to the sun
You're too close to the sun
You're too close to the sun
You're too close to the sun

Alone In The Universe lyrics - David Usher

Jamie's on the bathroom floor she don't know why
She's shaking underneath the sink can't feel a thing
She'd love to live a life she's afraid of failure
With all the voices in her head
Now what was that I thought I hear you scream

I know you can feel it
You're already there
Asleep underwater
Just screaming for air
I know you can feel it
You're already...
Don't you know we're freaks and creature
Wake up I can almost see the light

I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone left wondering why
I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone in the universe tonight

Alex on the last train home from god knows where
A million miles away from where he thought he'd be
He's got his suit his tie his drink his MTV
He's trading all his life away
You can't escape we're all infected now

I know you can feel it
You're already there
Asleep underwater
Just screaming for air
I know you can feel it
You're already...
Don't you know we're freaks and creatures
Wake up I can almost see the light

I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone in the universe tonight

We're all infected now
I know you can feel it
You're already there
Asleep underwater
Just screaming for air
I know you can feel it
You're already...
Don't you know we're freaks and creatures
Wake up I can almost see the light

I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone left wondering why
I think we're alone here you and I
I think we're alone in the universe tonight

I think we're alone in the universe tonight
I think we're alone in the universe tonight

Butterfly lyrics - David Usher

You came apart on me last Sunday morning
Chocked and indicted by the truth
And it's always tough when there's never enough
Of the good things coming
And there was never enough for you
There was never enough for you

Butterfly
Where you gone
I can't see you anymore
My eyes are taken still too high
Came down naked on you
Butterfly
Where you gone
I can't feel you anymore
I can't feel you anymore

Got excited when I thought that we would last
Twisted inside out 'til we were drowning
From the first attack we could never go back so we just keep on coming
But I was never enough for you
Was there ever enough for you

Butterfly
Where you gone
I can't feel you anymore
My eyes are taken still too high
Came down naked on you
Butterfly
Where you gone
I can't feel you anymore
I can't feel you anymore

And if you think you're dying
Baby well you know I felt the same
'Cause we were only hoping
Why's it always feel like, feel like
It feels like rain

Butterfly
Where you gone
I can't see you anymore
My eyes are taken still too high
Came down naked on you
Butterfly
Where you gone
I can't feel you anymore
I can't feel you anymore
I can't feel you anymore
I can't feel you anymore

Black Black Heart lyrics - David Usher

You came apart on me last Sunday morning
Chocked and indicted by the truth
And it's always tough when there's never enough
Of the good things coming
And there was never enough for you
There was never enough for you

Butterfly
Where you gone
I can't see you anymore
My eyes are taken still too high
Came down naked on you
Butterfly
Where you gone
I can't feel you anymore
I can't feel you anymore

Got excited when I thought that we would last
Twisted inside out 'til we were drowning
From the first attack we could never go back so we just keep on coming
But I was never enough for you
Was there ever enough for you

Butterfly
Where you gone
I can't feel you anymore
My eyes are taken still too high
Came down naked on you
Butterfly
Where you gone
I can't feel you anymore
I can't feel you anymore

And if you think you're dying
Baby well you know I felt the same
'Cause we were only hoping
Why's it always feel like, feel like
It feels like rain

Butterfly
Where you gone
I can't see you anymore
My eyes are taken still too high
Came down naked on you
Butterfly
Where you gone
I can't feel you anymore
I can't feel you anymore
I can't feel you anymore
I can't feel you anymore

Joy In Small Places lyrics - David Usher

Well I woke up last night in a technology haze
My eyes were all sparked
From this common malaise
So I found me a doctor who said he'd even me out
Take my highs and my lows
'Cause the colours were just to loud
And as the day becomes night
And we only want greys
And the innocence runs out
Well this is the price to pay

Mr. Jangle what you gonna do when the sun breaks down and the rain pours through
Tell me baby, what you gonna do this time
Mr. Jangle what you gonna do when the sun breaks down and the rain pours through
Tell me baby, what you gonna do this time
This time, what you gonna do this time
What you gonna do, gonna do

You got caught on my teeth so I spit out my tongue
And I cut off these hands just to see if the feeling would come
And we drank 'til we drowned 'til we chocked on the world
And we bathed in the beauty of all of you

Mr. Jangle what you gonna do when the sun breaks down and the rain pours through
Tell me baby, what you gonna do this time
Mr. Jangle what you gonna do when the sun breaks down and the rain pours through
Tell me baby, what you gonna do this time
This time, what you gonna do this time
What you gonna do, gonna do
Can't can't can't wait 'til tomorrow comes

(hold on)

Well I woke up last night just outside of myself
Skin hair bone broke down cell by single cell
And I could not believe I had died in my sleep
Just drowned in the beauty of all of you

Mr. Jangle what you gonna do when the sun breaks down and the rain pours through
Tell me baby, what you gonna do this time
Mr. Jangle what you gonna do when the sun breaks down and the rain pours through
Tell me baby, what you gonna do this time
This time, what you gonna do this time
What you gonna do, gonna do
Can't can't can't wait 'til tomorrow comes

Because there's joy in small places
Can't wait 'til tomorrow comes
Can't wait 'til tomorrow comes
It comes in small places...

A Day In The Life lyrics - David Usher

Did you feel small today when everyone had gone
'Cause I was beaten up and jaded by the news
And underneath the skin the truth is breaking through
So they just sewed me up and spit me out
And I can't change it
I can't change this

You you take away the world
And I don't even know myself now
So how can I know you
And I don't want to die
And I don't want to leave this place yet
Just give me one more try

My thoughts are floating as reality explodes
I'm whispering to each of you my friends
And every moment seems to freeze frame through the room
All the colors are electrified
But I can't see now
I can't see now

You you take away the world
And I don't even know myself now
So how can I know you
And I don't want to die
And I don't want to leave this place yet
Just give me one more try

And I'm drifting through myself again
Tell me how I got so high
Where the conscience bends the air is thin
And I can't change it
I can't change this

You you take away the world
And I don't even know myself now
So how can I know you
And I don't want to die
And I don't want to leave this place yet
Just give me one more try
And I don't want to die
And I don't want to leave this place yet
Just give me one more try

One more try, yeah
Just give me one more try
One more try, yeah
Just give me one more try

My Way Out lyrics - David Usher

Standing at the edge
The edge of it all
Spitting off the top
Watch the day unfurl
Cannot see the view from this place
Clouds are on the rise world is out of faith
Took another pill to find my way
Hope that you'll be there

'Cause this is my way out of it tonight
And this is my last chance to ease the fire
And this is my way out of it tonight
How about you
How about you

Borrowed from a dream
That I use to know
All my friends were there
We watched the world explode
Took another drink to find my way
Just hope that you'll be there

'Cause this is my way out of it tonight
And this is my last chance to ease the fire
This is my way out of it tonight
I might find one way to get through
How about you
How about you
How about you

And if I could remember
If I could find a place a time the space to see another way home
And if I could forget you
Maybe there's no other way out
No other way out

Standing at the edge (how about you)
The edge of it all (how about you)

(How about you)
(How about you)

Standing at the edge (how about you)
The edge of it all (how about you)

(How about you)
(How about you)

'Cause this is my way out of it tonight
And this is my last chance to ease the fire
And this is my way out of it tonight
I think there's one way to get through
How about you

'Cause this is my way out of it tonight
And this is my last chance to ease the fire
And this is my way out of it tonight
I might find one way to get through
How about you
'Cause this is my way out of it tonight
And this is my last chance to ease the fire
And this is my way out of it tonight
I might find one way to get through
How about you
How about you
How about you

Blinded lyrics - David Usher

Turn me out then turn me on
Pretty flower can you tell me what's become of who we are
Only asking what you'd like tonight
Well take America
Just shake my tits and ass yeah we'll go far

And if we wanted more
Then that was only what we thought our right was
Only wanted more but we were always blinded
Here we want to try
But I can't try to be as plain as daylight
Looking to the world
But we were always blinded

Sell a little bit to you
A circus sideshow but the makeup's shining through it's not so bad
Is there anyone to know
Forget my politics just sex me 'til I'm done it's not so hard

And if we wanted more
Then that was only what we thought our right was
Only wanted more but we were always blinded
Here we want to try
But I can try to be as plain as daylight
Looking to the world
But we were always blinded

And all the stars are out for you
And everybody's hiding here
And all the stars have come unglued
But everybody everybody's changing
We're changing
We're changing

And if we wanted more
Then that was only what we thought our right was
Only wanted more but we were always blinded
Here we want to try
But I can't try to be as plain as daylight
Looking to the world
But we were always blinded
Always blinded

And all the stars are out for you
And everybody's hiding here
And all the stars have come unglued
But everybody everybody's changing
We're changing
We're changing
We're changing

Thank you

Fast Car lyrics - David Usher


You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
You and I could both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be living

See my old man's got a problem
Lives with a bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
Body's too young for looking like his
Mama went off and left him
Wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
I quit school that's what I did
What I did, what I did

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough that we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember when we're driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market in the checkout line
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

So remember when we're driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
I got a job pays all our bills
Stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought we'd together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
Take your fast car and keep on driving

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember when we're driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

Closer lyrics - David Usher

You had to lose
A funny thing the part we can't play
I'd love to offer you with all the blame
But now we have to choose
Another round for all my friends and me
Another poke at sensibility
We've found out

Why are we floundering
I'm drowning in the reveler's sin
I've taken you up on your offerings
I don't even know it's good bye

You had to lose
Always knew that we weren't quite the same
I blew it up with everyone who ever knew me
Had to change
A revidescent light to shine the way
And we're not always following the same way out now

Why are we floundering
I'm drowning in the reveler's sin
I've taken you up on your offerings
I don't even know it's good bye
Goodbye

"Little Songs" (1999)

Trickster lyrics - David Usher

I'm the trickster burn so brightly
I still hate you motherfuckers everyone
Wrapped in glory bound so tightly
I still crave you even when I'm overcome

Saved by the light
Let me go on let me go bright
To be saved by the light
Let me go on let me go bright

I'm the trickster burned so badly
I still hate you motherfuckers everyone
Wore my sickness so politely
I can't be your everything to everyone
Void of meaning swelled just slightly
I still need you I still need you
Gone forever so concisely
I still need you I still need you

Saved by the light
Let me go on let me go bright
To be saved by the light
Let me go on let me go bright

And if you hate the world
Let's say I've been there
And if you hate yourself
Well don't go changing
All the times I used your body
Done my way can't say I'm sorry
Ripped the gloss off all your memories
Consequences so demanding
Bruised and beaten
Conscience bleeding
Sexually, sexually, sexually

Saved by the light
Let me go on let me go bright
To be saved by the light
Let me go on let me go bright
And I'm saved by the light
Let me go on let me go bright
Let me go bright

St. Lawrence River lyrics - David Usher

Smells on the air
See there it's crushing the final impression
The stains on the paper
Where words fell like water
Unearth all the changes that never did matter
I think it's beginning to freeze here

Caught in the rage and the fire of things
All the brightness that burns me
I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark
When the nakedness comes
I am shocked by the colour the glorious weight of your skin
Comes alive
And I never thought we'd make it back so soon
Might be nice
But I knew you'd be your own destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I'd make it up to you

Here please forgive me
Could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness
Held in the face of the things that I don't understand
Intellectualize over and over
This helplessness suits us
Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners
Worn all our edges away
You are watching breathing and baiting
Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting
For some simple signal to creep cross your conscience
Uncover redemption and oh did I mention
I carried you down to the St. Lawrence River
The banks running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here
Solid by morning
And I'll freeze here
Winter by morning

Comes a lie
And I never thought you'd get me back so soon
Might be nice
But it's only if my own destroyer
Comes alive
And I always knew I'd make it up to you

I saw on your face such a curious grin
As I let go your hand
I was desperate to hold you again
But you're sinking so deep in the water
Outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what I wanted
Solid by morning
What I wanted
Winter by morning

Comes alive
And I never thought you'd make it up so soon
Night be nice
But I always knew you're my destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I'd make it up to you

Solid by morning
And I'll freeze here
Winter by morning

Jesus Was My Girl lyrics - David Usher

So he dies and I'm the joke
A playdoh mask a million miles to go
A suped up cock tease with a little twist
When sex got ugly I'd insist
Hear you'll empty all I've got
Fucking's over but I can't stop cumming
Still born dead or never born at all

When Jesus was my girl
She told me
When Jesus was my girl

It's impossible for me
Harder even if I turn it over
I'm not as pretty as I thought I'd be
Another symptom of my damn decease
Hear you've taken all I got
Fucking's over but I just keep cumming
Still born dead and never born at all

When Jesus was my girl
She told me
When Jesus was my girl
When Jesus was my girl
She told me
When Jesus was my girl

I'm not as pretty as I thought I'd be
Another symptom of my damn disease
I'm not as pretty as I thought I'd be
Another symptom of my damn disease
I'm not as pretty as I thought I'd be
Another symptom of my damn disease
I'm not as pretty as I thought I'd be
Another symptom of my damn disease

When Jesus was my girl
She told me
When Jesus was my girl
When Jesus was my girl
She told me
When Jesus was my girl

I'm not as pretty as I thought I'd be
Another symptom of my damn disease
I'm not as pretty as I thought I'd be
Another symptom of my damn disease
I'm not as pretty as I thought I'd be
Another symptom of my damn disease
I'm not as pretty as I thought I'd be
Another symptom of my damn disease
I'm not as pretty as I thought I'd be
Another symptom of my damn disease
I'm not as pretty as I thought I'd be
Another symptom of my damn disease

Unholy, Dirty And Beautiful lyrics - David Usher

Bound by the time on the clock
Bittersweet wondering the quiet transfusion
Hold tight nothing is complicated
Hold tight everything's fine
Confidence fell through the hole in your pocket
The simple's illogical so it be logic
I'm caught in the diaries with all your complaining
The curious scribblings of one who has everything

Leave me unholy and dirty and beautiful be
Unholy and dirty and beautiful

Cherish the lies that you bought
Charming delusions gone crack in the fire
I know we might be mediocre
I know nothing's on fire
Confidence fell through the hole in your pocket
The simple's illogical so it be logic
I'm caught in the diaries with all your complaining
The curious scribblings of one who has everything

Leave me unholy and dirty and beautiful be
Unholy and dirty and beautiful me
Unholy and dirty and beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Unholy and dirty

You can give a try
Average to sustain
You can give a see
You can give a stay
Everything's to the feel
As the years go by
Listen to the tide
You can make a stride
Never come again
Never come again
Never come again
Never come again
Never come again
Never come again
Never come again
Never come again

Leave me unholy and dirty and beautiful be
Unholy and dirty and beautiful me
Unholy and dirty and beautiful

Never come again
Never come again
Never come again
Never come again...

Forestfire lyrics - David Usher

What if I were you and you were me
Still can't see the forest fire beyond the trees
Now I'm standing in a field of green
The colours burning far as I can see
What do you see

On my tongue the galaxies so small
Here I'll drink it down and watch the world dissolve
Now I'm pouring through the universe and slipping
through the endless stream of time
What would you find

And I'm flying floating on the wind again
Hoping it will drag me in
Can't you see i'm laughing
Laughing at the consequence
Laughing at this circumstance
Don't you know by now

Wave at all the faces they go by
Faster that we live the more we die
Now I'm crashing through the open door and smiling in a most peculiar way
What would you say

And I'm falling faster than the waterfall
Opened up and after all
Can't you see I'm drowning
Right here in the open air
Wishing I could still go clear
Don't you know by now
Don't you know by now
This is what we are
This is what we are
Don't you know by now
Don't you know by now
This is what we are
This is what we are

Flying floating on the wind again
I'm wishing that you'd drag me in
Can't you see I'm hoping Wishing I could see myself
Wishing I was someone else
But don't you know by now
Don't you know by now
This is what we are
This is what we are
Don't you know by now
Don't you know by now
This is what we are
This is what we are
This is what we are
This is what we are
This is what we are
This is what we are
This is what we are
This is what we are...

Babyskin Tattoo lyrics - David Usher

I am just the grey one I'm the darker side of you
And there's a place you left inside me
I hope it will amuse
And see this sign carved in my arm
Just means I'll hate you all forever
It's my babyskin tattoo
It's all the brand name that you've left

It's not so far
From me to you it's not so far
From me to you it's not so far
From me to you it's not so far

Circumcised myself because I knew you'd be too busy
And I saw the knife was dull
Just why the fuck do you think I'm crying
Styes caught in my eye
And it swells me 'til I'm numbing
But I'll leave it here to punish you
For leaving me so hard

It's not so far
From me to you it's not so far
From me to you it's not so far
From me to you it's not so far

I deliver I will receive
All the blessings from these things given
Tested longer held back only here

I am just the grey one I'm the darker side of you
And there's a space you left inside me
I hope it will amuse
And see this sign carved in my arm
Just means I'll hate you all forever
It's my babyskin tattoo
It's all the brand name that you've left me

And I beg borrow prostrate here
Under cover of everthing made dear
Fearing only, fearing only you

F Train lyrics - David Usher

(Just one sec)
(Lavalamps are good)

Traveled on the f train down
The people press and crowd
They start to fade like footprints worn away
Only stop and still I'm waiting
A thousand faces look the same everyone
A thousand different names
They come on two by two
People fade as people do
Came here of my own volition
Could be my decision
Could be
We may still get by
We may still get by

Wandered down on avenue A
The coffee shops the sweet cache
Of thoughts and words and laughter gone
Never ending stream of what you've
Known so long and long ignored
Don't think so hard just smoke your cigarette
And fade off into blue
'Cause people fade as people always do

Consequence comes crashing in
The scars and scrapes and scratches
All the memories died so long ago
Time is up but still I'm waiting
Came here of my own volition
Could be my decision
Could be
We may still get by
We may still get by
And we may still get by
We may still get by
We may still get by

Million lyrics - David Usher

Borrowed in black you are mine
Don't make it easy don't make it hard
Don't make it so simple again
So so easy again
Bound like a child you are mine
I can't defend you
I won't complain
I won't go so so quiet again
Go so gently again

A million a million more
A million a million more
A million a million more
For you to burn

Promised your mother I'd write
I'd kill you quickly
I'd keep you calm
I'd make it all so simple again
All so quiet
Here once the morning was bright
But violence changes changes the light
And now I've grown so empty again
Grown so empty again

A million a million more
A million a million more
A million a million more
For you to burn

I can be cold dear I can be cold as you wanted
Living is hard here
When I'm just the whore that you wanted me to be

A million a million more
A million a million more
A million a million more
For you to burn
