STEVEN WILSON LYRICS

1. Harmony Korine

Rain, come down, and fall forever
Drain, the dirt, into the wasteland
Pray, for sound, to quiet the howling

Feel, no shame, too brave
Feel, afraid, to wait forever

Kneel, to fade, the day's corrosion
Crawl, depart, towards perdition
Gray, the part, the bruise within you

Feel, no shame, too brave
Feel, afraid, to wait forever

Forever

Feel, no shame, too brave
Feel, afraid, to wait forever

2. Abandoner

The other half is somewhere else
A play in the dark
Whines like dogs

I am restless, I am lost
Time freezes up
Flawless eyes

The rope you used to tie yourself
Dreams enter planes
Scatter remains

I reach for you, belying your touch
Snow starts to glide
I confide

3. Salvaging

What was the point of making you trust?
You live in a lie, the pain in the dust

God always shouts, and you always kick
Through passionless hours, yeah you make me sick

Your secret is told, but the body rejected
Your smile’s a question, but the end is expected

A truce is attained, excuses are given
Time to assess
Now the nails have been driven

Time to assess, now the nails have been driven (x2)

4. Veneno Para Las Hadas

When you’re young, you’re sleepin’
With the love you’re feelin’
Waking up to evenin’
Check the pulse, you breathe in

Nothing left, just ember
Only we remember
A bottle not for sharin’
Poison for a fairy

5. No Twilight Within The Courts Of The Sun

Draggin' a lake
Find the owner of the voice
I zip in the bag
And drove all across the noise

Examine the hairline
His archives in the strands
He turned into something
That puts the weakness in my hands

I see what I suppose
I breathe what I dispose
Black wheels get yellow in the sand
I steal every idea that I can

Instead of a person, shadows in the lake
Instead of coercion, she blows aside grenades
I have an aversion to dying in a car
Memories corrosion, a suitcase in the dark

6. Significant Other

Pullin’ back from the precipice
Feel so small now, stars shine bright above
Don’t know why
Receive a better life for a song
Can’t but try, other leads apply

Lookin’ up at tragic rush on underground
Birds will turn and fly
Don’t know why
Passin’ through the day, only child
Breathe a sigh, other leads apply

Raining all day, trying to reach you
Feel so helpless, can’t stop counting time (but in)
Don’t know why, hands (something) stealin’ my heart
Graceful dives†, other leads apply* (rain down from the sky)

7. Only Child

A raven holding to narrow wrist*
Pull it tight
Clothes are torn and the body twists
A single light

The worse the struggle the more you fail
Strands fall down
The more you like it the more it hurts
Why stop now?

An only child
A winning smile
A killing trial

A broken rib and a bloody lip
All in hell*
The fire’s gone and your pride is stripped
A private hell***

You never know why it is** this way
Leave here now
Live through this on another day*
Tonight sleep sound

An only child
A winning smile
A killing trial

8. Twilight Coda

[Instrumental]

9. Get All You Deserve

Open the car door slow
Don't think that you'll ever know my name
Get all that you deserve in this world

Love more than you can know
Have more than you'll ever need from me
Get all that you deserve in this world

Get all that you deserve
Get all that you deserve
Get all that you deserve

10. Insurgentes

Holy Mother of a simple one
When you smile at me you bring me down
You betray your thoughts
All your prayers to naught

Now out of death you speak in tongues
And out of breath your work is done
And your dream absolve
And your path dissolve

When the cradle rocks, her love comes down
All the pretty lies you prance around.

And your dream absolve
And your path dissolve

11. Port Rubicon

[Bonus Track]

"Una vez un niño estaba enfermo. Su mamá estaba triste y a los pocos días
fueron al hospital y le dijo el doctor que tenía mal el corazón. A los 15
días murió. Su mamá lloraba y lloraba, y gritaba. "Ha muerto mi hijo", le
decía a todo el vecindario para que la consolaran. Y entonces fue con el
doctor y le dijo "Mi hijo ha muerto". El doctor se puso triste aunque no
fuera su hijo y fue una vida infeliz."

Safeguard old shards
Keepsakes in time
No place for old wives

Don't throw your head inside
Splitting with the tied

Go, you go
Name your price
Ugly little ghost

12. Puncture Wound

[Bonus Track]

Streets, like prussian blues
Split the cells in my blood
Black, like the outer eye
Adrenalized by love

Glow of a cigarettes
Illuminates from above
Push, push down the earth
Feel my hand through your glove

Slump in the arbour door
Skin belongs to me
Point in perfect form
A puncture wound results

(Whisper my name) [x4]

13. Collecting Space

[Bonus Track, Instrumental]

14. Insurgentes (Mexico)

[Bonus Track]

Holy mother of the simple one
When you smile at me, you bring me down
You betray your thoughts
All your prayers too naught

Now, out of death, you speak in tongues
And, out of breath, your work is done
And your dream absolves
And your past dissolves

And your dream absolves
And your past dissolves

15. The 78

[Bonus Track]

Discarded love today
The North will soon become
I lost too much today
So myth will now become

I threw my life away
And for what?
I blew my chances, too
I see the bitter truth
I give up

Relinquish all connection
And being yourself for once
Distrusting insurrection
So thank yourself for once

I threw my life away
And for what?
I blew my chances, too
I see the bitter truth
I give up
I give up

What seems so real today
Soon will make me come
The thing you always craved
Surely I've become

I threw my life away
And for what?
I blew my chances, too
I see the bitter truth
I give up
I give up

I threw my life away
And for what?
I blew my chances, too
I see the bitter truth
I give up
I give up
