Song lyrics
Death
Let me catch my breath
Let me see what's left
Let me see what's true
Do I really want to
Run from my depths?
Will I have regrets?
Will I ever find you?
Will I ever find the words
That give me motive to express?
Bread
Will I go unfed?
Will I be that fool who rushes on in
To where angels fear to tread?
Was it me who bled
On the new death bed
And there is no fear
When you're leaning on love
Those grateful dead
Someone like you
To research the meaning of love
Someone, I do
To be there when push comes to shove
I know that you know
The ending numbers
Chess
Let me play my best
When I do regress
Let it all unwind
'Cause we're never confined
To the board unless
There's a second guess
Look into the sky
Where we all comply
With something higher than the
Rest my love, sail through
Someone like you
To research the meaning of love
Someone, I do
To be there when push comes to shove
I know that you know
The ending, the must
Someone like you
Sky all around
Fell to the ground
Now I'm a child
Stayed for a while
Flesh
Is it meaningless?
But we all protest
To the last request
Is there anything you
Could now suggest?
Did I do my best?
Did I leave it better?
Even though we look to be
Just mildly obsessed with you
Sail through
Someone like you
To research the meaning of love
Someone, I do
To be there when push comes to shove
I know that you know
The ending, the must
Someone like you
To be there
