The World Like I'm on Drugs (Single Version) 03:15
lyrics
I saw there is no path for us Our fate has been foreseen Messages upon your screen like a fucking prophecy I know that I’m the jealous type But now all I feel is fear Tell me, is it love, my dear? And will it ever disappear? Take my heart and tear apart But you can’t hurt me like I hurt myself Tell me what you think I want to hear But you do not know who I am Cause you make me love, you bring me luck You make me experience the world like I’m on drugs You make me whole, you heal my soul You make me feel safe up on the beat, my metronome I’m falling off-track. Do not fear the turbulence It’ll fade just like the bliss They praise this curse, and say it’s “love” Whatever the fuck that is Words are flying cross the room As we argue who has sinned And silence is a haunting thing When it’s coming from within Hurricanes inside my head I’m running from the storm that I commenced Close your eyes and kiss me one last time Let’s hope to God it all dispels Cause you make me love, you bring me luck You make me experience the world like I’m on drugs You make me whole, you heal my soul You make me feel safe up on the beat, my metronome I’m falling off-track. So magical… Like dancing in the moonlight… When life is a work of art, art, art, ah-ah… Symmetrical… You’re a star and I’m a luna… You erupt and consume my heart, heart, heart, he-eart… You make me experience the world like I’m on drugs Cause you make me love, you bring me luck You make me experience the world like I’m on drugs You make me whole, you heal my soul You make me feel safe up on the beat, my metronome

The Other Side 04:20
lyrics
The sun is shining outside and people smile to it They all pretend that everything’s okay When nothing’s how it seems Stacking LP’s in my bookshelf, talking to the cover arts I do have friends, but with them I feel lonely Only Death Cab understands me But that’s alright… Yeah, that’s alright… Is there a reason for me in this life? Then why am I frightened? Why am I crying when I want to smile? My wings are strong but I’m afraid of heights And the sky is so much bluer on the other side I’m scared cause I don’t know what it is like to die I claim I’m always working but I ain’t ever had a job I must be lost in the great expectations But my dreaming will never stop But that’s alright… Yeah, that’s alright… Is there a reason for me in this life? Then why am I frightened? Why am I crying when I want to smile? My wings are strong but I’m afraid of heights And the sky is so much bluer on the other side I’m scared cause I don’t know what it is like to die Dreams will fade away when you give up the fight We are all human, we all break down and cry Anxiety will fade away when you get up and fight Just befriend your weaknesses, they are a part of life My wings are strong but I’m afraid of heights And the sky is so much bluer on the other side I’m scared cause I don’t know what it is like to die The sun is shining outside and people smile to it
