GOOD TIGER LYRICS

1. Where Are The Birds

Just one kiss is enough to get me drunk right from your lips.
I would swim through the deepest oceans just to hear your name.
(I would, I would, I would)
I thought I knew right from wrong.
But the blood upon these hands has proved me wrong.
My mistakes can’t be covered up.
You should cover up,
Won’t you cover up?

Just hold on and dance like there’s no tomorrow.
Let’s hold on cause without you there is no me.

I would run through the darkest forest just to taste your skin.
Melt the sun if for just one second I could stop the pain.
(I would, I would, I would)
I thought I knew right from wrong.
But the blood upon these hands has proved me wrong.
My mistakes can’t be covered up.
You should cover up,
Won’t you cover up?

Just hold on and dance like there’s no tomorrow.
Let’s hold on cause without you there is no me.

You seem to think you’re bound and gagged and here all just for me.
You can leave, what could I do.

I thought I learned right from wrong.

Just hold on and dance like there’s no tomorrow.
Let’s hold on cause without you there is no me.

2. Snake Oil

This edict dictates the mind will stay in a creative state.
I’m not a scholar but I’m pretty sure you’ve earned the right to keep creating.
I cannot breathe, I cannot speak, please let me leave or let me sleep.
There’s no leaving here. Never. Please tell me the benefits of keeping me locked up.
Maybe if we tried hard working together, we’d escape insanity forever and ever.

I took a look outside my window.
I painted wings and tried to fly.
Closed my eyes and I jumped.
Imagination ran dry.
I took a look outside my window.
I painted wings and tried to fly.
Break me out from this fictitious life.

This edict dictates the mind will stay in a creative state.
I’m not a scholar but I’m pretty sure you’ve earned…
Don’t let me die like this.

What else can I paint when I’m watching skylines.
What is this crimson?
Blood is much redder.
Please expand this room.

I’m just waiting here.
I’m just pacing here.
I’m just wasting here.

I took a look outside my window.
I painted wings and tried to fly.
Closed my eyes and I jumped.
Imagination ran dry.
I took a look outside my window.
I painted wings and tried to fly.
Break me out from this fictitious life.

3. Enjoy The Rain

Just one drink to get through the day.
It’s getting darker and harder to stay in this place.
Where the flowers aren’t blooming.
I’m touch and go. Can you relate?
Medicate before this session. I’ll be late.
And I’m constantly fearing the plot that I’ll take.

Why do I need all these bottle dry?
I don’t want this.

The feeling of drowning in air. (I’m dry)
Enjoy the rain while you can. (I’m dry)
There’ll be no water in hell. (I’m dry)
Enjoy the rain while you can.
And I’m constantly fearing the plot that I’ll take.

Why do I need all these bottle dry?
I don’t want.

I’m gonna try.
Control desires.

Swim up. (swim up, swim up)
I need a little air.
I can’t breathe.
I need a better balance.

4. I Paint What I See

Red is the color of love.
Blue is the color of my waning. My waning.
Yellow is envy. Maybe it’s green?
Somewhere there lies a color in between.
You know where my pallet lies.
Brushes complete the rain.
Oils come together to remember my name.

I cannot believe the colors you are seeing. (Whoa, whoa)
It takes a certain kind of mind to lead me away.
I wonder if I could be swayed?
Maybe all you got to do is paint the canvas gray.

I paint what I see with reckless abandonment.
Self-portraits reflect me reflecting.
If I could mix all these paints, color would show emotional state.
Well sometimes take a step back just to see what you create.

I cannot believe the colors you are seeing. (Whoa, whoa)
It takes a certain kind of mind to lead me away.
I wonder if I could be swayed?
Maybe all you got to do is paint the canvas gray.

Sketch the stress of daily living.
Paint the life of someone else.

Red. Red. Red. Red.

5. Aspirations

Take a look into these eyes and tell me what you see.
I built your trust just like this world.
Hopefully it won’t end badly.
Take these whispers in your ear and tell me what you hear.
Crashing the world brick by brick.
Told you all it would end badly.

I would like to build this world around you.
And I would like to crush this world around you.

Don’t you forget that there were ways around the mess that I had made.
Take it in stride cause you are all I need.

I would like to build this world around you.
And I would like to crush this world around you.

Let me in, let me in, let me in baby.
Let me in, let me in, let me in oh honey.

Honey I built all these things for you.
Honey what do I have left to prove?

Beyond the moon, beyond the stars is a place inside my heart.
I built all these things for you.
Something no mortal could ever do.
Take what I’ve given and try to leave.
Take what I’ve given and try to leave.

I would like to build this world around you.
And I would like to crush this world around you.

Around you.

6. Latchkey Kids

Let me help you choose.
Don’t live with your ghosts.
You’ve been rolling the rice for too long,
And the hand you want, the hand you need, you’ll never get.

Bit into the sky. It filled our heads with moonlight.
Almost too vivid to see where we were, what could have been.
Bit into the sky. It filled our heads with moonlight.
Almost too vivid to see where we were, what could have been.

There is little time. Don’t waste it on god.

Dive in. Trust in your presence.
The worth you seek, the worth you need, you’ll achieve.

Bit into the sky. It filled our heads with moonlight.
Almost too vivid to see where we were, what could have been.
Bit into the sky. It filled our heads with moonlight.
Almost too vivid to see where we were, what could have been.

Speak for a reason.
Sink in your empathy.

7. All Her Own Teeth

Chip away the glass, it separates what’s real.
With all these fragments I’ll build you.
Maybe we could show each other glass can bend.
I must break you.
Maybe we can start to rebuild when I’m through.
You’ll love this.

Are you a Scorpio? I would like to know, cause I think I might like this.
Am I your Romeo? Please don’t kill me yet, cause I think that you’re still wet.

Fuck it!

Shattered I can’t feel or separate what’s real.
Holding on to a memory of making what you loved.
Nothing is what it seems.
I must break you.
Maybe we can start to rebuild when I’m through.
You’ll love this.

Are you a Scorpio? I would like to know, cause I think I might like this.
Am I your Romeo? Please don’t kill me yet, cause I think that you’re still wet.

Could I ever be part of your consideration baby?
Take into account we grew apart in heaven.
Never thought I’d be part of your consideration baby.
Take into account we grew apart in heaven.

Am I your Romeo?

8. Understanding Silence

Birds look above ahead of time.
We’ve been marked as a threat.
There’s no logic for my trial.
Will I see some rest?

If I never walk again, all that’s occurred so worthless.
The way we’ve seen these words so distant.
Lost sense in what control our tongues.

Do they know my name?

Oh me oh my, this mess of mine.
Need to own my regret.
I have begged the fairer kind to help make my bed.

If I never walk again, all that’s occurred so worthless.
The way we’ve seen these words so distant.
Lost sense in what control our tongues.

Do they know my name?

9. '67 Pontiac Firebird

This is it: the only city I’ve walked in.
Stay close to me, we won’t bow heads for anybody.

If they stop moving it will kill them. I can fly forever.
This desert’s lost its charm. I’ve had my fill of scales and leather.
If they stop moving it will kill them but I can fly forever.

The desert’s lost its charm.
I can fly forever.

Old people in old buildings.
They’re moving away.
Old people in old buildings.
They’re moving away.

Have some dignity you fucking cunt!

We’ve grown strong bones.
We have strong iron.
They’ve been messing with my town.
And I am not afraid.
Stop fucking with my town.
Let’s ditch the car and go running.

If they stop moving it will kill them. I can fly forever.
This desert’s lost its charm. I’ve had my fill of scales and leather.
If they stop moving it will kill them but I can fly forever.

The desert’s lost its charm.
The desert’s lost its charm.

This is the only city I’ve ever watched.
