Oh my god, I have the remedy for love
I struck the glass, it broke the bones inside my fist, but I'm ok
I cannot change you, I cannot change you
You never change, you never change
I never would expect to be this in the end
Something so profound, something you won't expect
Take this scripture like a picture, wear it around your neck
The sky, it opens up
Don't get swallowed by the flames
What's mine is yours and yours is mine, so take me away
You hear the sounds, they carry out
There's no sympathy for the dead

It swells and I was never the same
There's no sympathy for the dead
We dance like zombies do, in the middle of the rain
We see the stones falling from the sky, on fire
The blinding light beaming from your eyes, our desire
Life has died, and yet we're still alive, we'll tell them all
Our sea of damned, crashing like a tidal wave, wave

I cannot change you, you'll never change
You'll never change
I'm never would expect to be this in the end
I can't breathe
Wake up from this nightmare that I'm in
Dive into a holy river, and wash away my sins
As I reach, sanctify the surface of the water now
I will breathe, and burn out my eyes
You hear the sounds, they carry out
There's no sympathy for the dead

It swells and I was never the same
There's no sympathy for the dead
We dance like zombies do, in the middle of the rain
We see the stones falling from the sky, on fire
The blinding light beaming from your eyes, our desire
Life has died, and yet we're still alive, we'll tell them all
A sea of damned, crashing like a tidal wave, wave

So take the medicines, to quench the pain we had
And walk until the end, until you've reached the sand
A hundred thousand wings, soaring through the sky
At intense speeds we can't catch with our eyes
You hear the sounds of a third carry out
Just wait (Just wait)
You hesitate

I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss
I struck the glass, it shattered bones in my fist (you hesitate)
I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss
I struck the glass, it shattered bones in my fist (you hesitate)
I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
I struck the glass, it shattered bones in my fist (you hesitate)
I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
I struck the glass, it shattered bones in my fist

You hesitate
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
You hesitate
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
You hesitate
(There's no sympathy for the dead)
You hesitate

    Correct lyrics (incomplete):

    Oh my God, I have the remedy for love I struck the glass, it broke the bones inside my fist, and I'm okay

    I cannot change you (I cannot change you) You'll never change (you'll never change) I never would expect to break this in the end

    Something so profound Something you won't expect Take this scripture like a picture And wear it around your neck

    The sky it opens up Don't get swallowed by the flame What's mine is yours and yours is mine So take me away

    You hear the sounds, they're carried out It swells and I was never the same There's no sympathy for the dead We dance like zombies do, in the middle of the rain We see the stones falling from the sky (on fire) The blinding light that's beaming from your eyes (our desire) Life has died, yet we're still alive, and down below A sea of damned crashing like a tidal wave (wave) Every minute of what you get helps this pain

    I can't breathe Wake up from this nightmare that I'm in Dive in to a holy river, and wash away my sins As I reach (never change) like serpents of the water I will bleed and burn out my eyes

    You hear the sounds, they're carried out It swells and I was never the same There's no sympathy for the dead We dance like zombies do, in the middle of the rain We see the stones falling from the sky (on fire) The blinding light that's beaming from your eyes (our desire) Life has died, yet we're still alive, and down below A sea of damned crashing like a tidal wave (wave) Every minute of what you get helps this pain

    Torn leaves and greed from our father You think it's hot now (hot now) Well just wait A hundred thousand wings soaring through the sky At instant speeds we can't catch with our eyes

    You hear the sounds of a third carried out Just wait (just wait) You hesitate

    I have the remedy to the poisonous kiss I struck the glass, it shatters bones in my fist

    "Helps this pain" is most likely wrong, and "torn leaves and greed from our father" could also be wrong. I couldn't hear the last part due to the screaming. If anyone could build on top of this, that would be great.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
