Avalanche lyrics

spoken)
Yknow, today I was only asked one question,
and that one question all day,
you know what it was?
Do you want that supersized?
Yknow, come to think of it,
Id like the whole fucking world supersized.
(Supersized guns!)
Supersized planes,
supersized satellites.
Think about how many more channels you could get with a supersized satellite.
(Supersized sales)

Today I'm leaving
This bullshit one-horse town
Full of cowboys and indians
Who only have balls when there's a camera around
Where the girls they move to you when money gets thrown around
Even happiness is using you. Maybe you'll figure that out.
Maybe you'll figure that out

It's a long way down
Y'know it's a damn shame the sun don't shine underground
Maybe that's where it's been

One foot in front of the other
One foot back to counter it
Days like these you've got to find it in some other way
It's all or nothing baby

Avalanche, start inside of me
Avalanche, down through the trees
Avalanche, start inside of me
Avalanche, hell down through the trees

If everyone's a casualty
Then take your time there ain't no trouble
If the weather's fine and we're feeling crazy

Here's the bright end of nowhere
Here's the result of all our days
Used to lay on the roof and drink beer
And try and count up all the ways
That you could waste away
Looking back it seemed so simple
But having done it I couldn't say

The lights are out, baby
And I'm a mouse
The lights are out, baby
So hear me out
The lights are out, baby
And I'm a mouse

So here's the bright end of nowhere

How now are you gone awry?
How now are we back here tonight?
That's all there is
Roll the dice
This is all there is
Roll the dice

How now baby is a little bit enough of it
When you live a double life?

How now are you going to bite both hands?
That's all there is
Roll the dice
This is all there is
Roll the dice

How now baby is a little bit enough of it
When you live a double life?

There's a house
There's the doorway
Been locked out
The lights are out anyway
At loosly recondition
To be just so refined
And last grasp at the life worth living
In these standard shoes and what's left of my lines

And you can see right through me(x3)
Yeah...

I been thinkin'
Why don't we get out of here
Tonight
Get in the car
And just start driving
Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke...right

Here it comes, and there it goes
Another day of decomposing light
In a world called catastrophe
My native tongue is blasphemy
So it's the one I'll write

And baby, can you feel it
And don't it make you wanna lay down
And close your eyes
Baby, can you feel it
Don't it make you wanna lay down
And close your eyes

Remember how we started
Cause since then, I'm a waste
Since then, I'm a fool

i've a favour to ask, maybe this is a bad time
(you know, whenever you ask, there's never a good time):
do you take your heart out of it?
how can you take your heart our of this?
how do you stop once you've started?

somebody gave you a choice
and all you do is abuse it.
if god, it gave you a voice
then use it.

here's something to ask if these are the bad times

The pink pills are for your sanity
We are buried in the earth because we can't beat gravity
You are still here and so made to figure
You are an important part of the computer

Born of the sea, Blink
The sea is dead
Falls out of me these sockets in my head
Everyone's a captain baby, ship of fools
Drowning while they're telling you:
It's been alright (x5)

Dream the dream of your attrition

This is a commercial for my army and my navy
This is a rehearsal for all the empty promises I will be
and I won't let you down
done letting you down

This is a commercial for freedom while freedom is in Hades
This is a rehearsal of incoherent double talk and maybes
And it won't let you down
Done letting you down

It's okay to be their disappointment baby
It's okay to fly the flag

This lightning's fine
She picks up these tired parts of mine
Who's carrying you tonight?
She carries me all of mine

Up again, Down again, Out of your head
When she's beside you, you're nearly not so dead
Up again, Down again, Out of your head
When she's beside you, you're always at your best

This lightning's fine
She picks up these tired parts of mine
Who's carrying you tonight?

Here by my side an angel
Here by my side the devil
Never turn your back on me
Never turn your back on me again.
Here by my side its heaven

Here by my side you are destruction
Here by my side a new color to paint the world (ooh)
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again
Here by my side its heaven

Careful, be careful
Careful, be careful
This is where the world drops off

Buy in. It'll shut you up
Try it. It should shut you up
We've brought someone in to shut you up
It's a life's work

While we were hunting rabbits
I came upon a clear
The sky, it's stars like fortune drilled me
Until now I was a soldier
Until now I dealt in fear
These years of cloak and dagger
Have left us disappeared

(choir sings with matt in this part)
And I dance and I sing
