still love desire




Desire

[Zwan]


Lyrics

northern star
am i frightened
where can i go to rest
i can't sleep
and i'm still fighting
wait, don't breathe

the time destroys a man
a child who understands
that anyone who desires
is not my kind
not my truth

fade away, it's all we do
fade away from the truth
desires
fade away
desires
fade away
desires

and northern star
please enlighten
the lost prayers of my soul
childhood dreams
of death and titans
we were meant to be free

to give ourselves away
so please don't be afraid
of anyone who desires
they're not my kind
not my truth

fade away, it's all we do
fade away from the truth
desires
fade away
desires
fade away
desires
fade away
desires

'cause anyone who desires
is not my kind
i have no use for you

[reprise85]

cast a stone

who says i cannot be betrayed
let them stand and laugh
who says i shouldn't be ashamed
let them know my past
who says i cannot be believed
let them walk my trail
who says i shouldn't be released
from the last abuse

it's just, just us
and us and rain
spare thoughts and change

should you feel the need to throw
the first stone through my window
feel free to let it go
i'm home

who says i cannot be betrayed
let them stand and laugh
who says i shouldn't be ashamed
let them know my past
who says i cannot be believed
let them walk my trail
who says i shouldn't be released
from the last abuse

it's just, just us
and us and rain
spare thoughts and change

should you feel the need to throw
the first stone through my window
feel free to let it go
i'm home
should you ever need to cry
and if you're barely getting high
you should know that i won't let you die

who says i shouldn't feel ashamed
who says i shouldn't feel ashamed

Yes desire kicks ass in all ways. Always been my easy favorite off the record.

We can leave too soon forever
Forever
As our worlds collide
In a late-night show
It's a devastating loss
I know all too well
And I love you still
And I always will
From the bossom of my hometown
I seek you
We can leave too soon
We can leave too soon forever
Forever
Do you believe in love
Do you believe in me
Do you believe in a peace
I know i'll try
Do you believe in love
Do you believe in me
Do you believe in a peace
I know i'll try
I know, I know
As the snow melts outside
As the snow melts within
It's so hard to let this go
'cause the snow is in my veins
As my words fly like fists
Across my front lawn
As day is long
I know
We can leave too soon
We can leave too soon
Do you believe in love
Do you believe in love
Do you believe in love
I know, I know
I know, I know
I know, I know
A new poetry
A newfound belief
A new poetry
A newfound belief
A new poetry
And I've known
I've known

holy fuck I forgot how great this song was. sounds like classic pumpkins to me.

Idk. After hearing/reading the lyrics he's written throughout his career, especially recently with MTAE, I've lost all respect for him as a lyricist/poet. He just doesn't have the ability to write quality lyrics and it's embarrassing that he actually brags about not putting any effort into his lyric writing in interviews.

I'd actually gain a lot of respect for him to be able to come to the point where he realizes that he's unable to write quality lyrics. I think it'd be a huge step for him in making an effort at growing as an artist and songwriter.

Don't waste your time trying to interpret Billco's lyrics. There's nothing to interpret.

He admits this himself, and that's why he needs to team up with a lyricist to help give his songs texture and meaning.

C'mon dude. BC has written some great lyrics in the past. MCIS is incredible lyrically overall aside from BWBW maybe.
