Naveed Lyrics

hopelessly a man starts to feed your day
once he was there you never looked back
how did you think that his words might just fade away
he seemed harmless enough so you let him in and now you'll pay 

i can't see him but he's stalking my thoughts
how does it feel when you can't concentrate?
i just stare
all of your daydreams are a seesaw for him to play on 

how does it feel when he calls your name
you can plug your ears but it's not the same
how does it feel when he pulls you back

nobody's wrong nobody's right the birdman wouldn't lie
nobody's wrong nobody's right but i just can't trust him tonight

how do you forget a stranger that plagues your days
we arm ourselves when there's nothing to fear right?
wrong

how does it feel when it comes to pass there's something there
but it's not quite right
how does it feel, does it make you mad?

i've read the bible, i've read Dylan, 
i'm reading people now 
because it is much more chilling 
i sit on a satellite
with the stars made of gold 
there's life through that hollow lens 

i know supersatellite 
i watch the traffic, 
i find the seeds 

there's one man in particular 
who's not what he seems 
i can't focus in 
on the lies in his head 
he's convinced that his blood is blue
but it's red 

supersatellite

nothing dazzles me, 
i am in his dreams 
nothing is shocking, 
transparent human being

i let go of the world that was holding 
a passenger that could not fly 
in search of souls 
souls in search of something 
let it go 
let it slide 

when i find out what went on 
i'll bring it back 
it won't be easy 
they won't believe how a man 
he could drown
in a starseed 

i hoped to find why this world wasn't glowing 
glowing it darkens as we end this ride 
i've fallen back under the equator 
I'm back inside I'm back inside 

when i find out what went on 
i'll bring it back but it won't be easy 
they won't believe the man he could 
but i'd choose starseed over nothing
nothing 

Hope climbs atop of the piano 
reaching out towards the warmth of the sun 
some man tries to ask her down 
but now maybe that's where she belongs 

my god she said, 
i'm the sunflower who wants 
my god he said, 
this woman is gone 
into the dark 
is there anybody there 
my god she said

he climbed up top to find that she was slipping
Let her go, let her go, let me go 
how long must we leave before we're winning 
they don't know, they don't know they just don't know 
If she can't be there I know it's best that 
nothing is denied 
If she can't be there it's best that 
everyone change sides 

are you there, and is it comfortable? 
did you want to escape, try to escape the population? 
the pressure is deceiving, 
and for you particularly should we let a young man die? 

let him die if he wants to? 
I can't live here anymore 
it's hard when you reach for that floor and 
and there's something that tears me inside, so I can't go 

brother are you there? 
now tell me is it wonderful 
or were you hoping to find something a little more? 

climbing down the hours I need to know now 
do the hands of time only rule this chapter 
i'll have to try once again, i'll have to try when I want to 
there he's on his knees again 
trying hard to understand 
why Naveed would let a young man die 
convinced that he might break he reaches for that phone 
and then another day has gone  

so you feel that stain of dried up discussions without weight 
It's that feeling you will not have to destroy 
It's that feeling that you will not have to ignore 

the dirty walls 

So you've been plagued, but is everything okay 
I cannot bear the shallow words they throw 
It's that feeling that you will not have to employ 
it's that feeling that you will not ... 
it's got to go 

this conversation is going nowhere 
it's transparent as fuck 
this conversation must be over 
because all i see is mud  

the telephone is ringing, disconnect the line 
the tension is building but I'm alright 
the stars are colliding, so you might as well let me go 

the television is burning because I set it on fire 
the wheels they keep turning, but i'm fine 
what about the questions we have locked up inside 

somewhere, somehow 
we've been denied 
hand in hand we walk behind pretending, 
defending while our souls are tied 

It's only the third hour, my conscience subsides 
But something reminds me that you lied 
What about the consequences? 
This can't be right   

time can't fix it fast enough, 
so we won't notice what it was that went wrong 
I saw something there much too familiar 
a butterfly with a broken wing 
she's fallen under, she's past the end, 
communication is down again 
the scars have healed but they're back again 
we've got to believe this man must bend 
because if you could you'd try and destroy her 
and there we would be with nothing at all 

Is it safe to be a man 
when your tired and lonely 
only the confident know where to stand 

Is it safe to be man 
when the world is loaded with thousands 
that can't figure out just what they did 
time can't fix it fast enough, 
so we won't measure just how far below you kept pushing her
you'll have to pay back all of the years that you stole 
she's walking backwards, 
she's spun around her ears are ringing loud, 
how does it feel, does it make you mad?
she's on her knees 
please understand how obvious it is 
that this man must bend   

can you see her standing there trying to find anywhere 
there are flowers in her hand but she doesn't know why 
offered is advice to you but all you do is fake it 

mother, she's only yours tonight and she never cries mother, 
I know there is hurt inside Julia 

drowning in her own visions, 
she's begging the past to stay behind 
there's a black cat in the night, 
there's a black cat in that sky 
offered is advice to you, you left but I don't blame you 

we're digging up the past to bury it one last time 
I know there's pain inside that truth 
but you just have to face it   

maybe they'll come back again maybe they're all gone 
one day you'll find me sending their message strong 
under your feet the city falls down so far the ground is sky 

we're under zenith again, 
it's healthy if not for long 
leave a little room for us to breathe 

much more than seven days and you've slipped to deep 
much stronger than sympathy, let your best friend pull back that 
leash 
sitting by a frozen man, someone somewhere has to cry 

were under zenith again let the cycle run we won't die 
leave a little room for us to breathe 

I love how you let me fall 
under but not to far 
I love how you let me fall 
only now I see where we are
hold me   

all you people can feel it waiting 
innocence and love, wrapped in the arms of the burning neon 
I feel it, I feel it 

it's so entertaining and so wonderful 
it magically calls for you 
big neon crossing show me the way 
save my soul today 

don't you worry and don't be afraid 
does it send you to the world appealing 
where there is spoken word that I can't take 
so I'm the liar, I'm the liar 

you'd be so disappointed 
to find out that the magic was not 
really meant for you
