Silverchair - After All These Years

Breathe in the night
That crushed a tired sunrise
Born again the day brings young naivety

A laptop souvenir is worth it's weight
In silver a golden son
You'll be home again
And I'll be home again

Mend in my sleep
I'm boxing under water
Waddle on the wake
Waking on a summer day

After all these years
Forget about the troubled times
After all these years
Forget about the troubled times

And every fathers pain
Casts a shadow over a broken son
You'll be whole again
And I'll be whole again

Munificent, artless and ascetic
Playing like a scared
Enthusiastic pawn

After all these years
Forget about the troubled times
After all these years
Forget about the troubled times

All those years
I was hurting to feel
Something more than life

Silverchair - My Favorite Thing

Got my fever down,then weighed it up
and i know the
sounds remaining wont strain all the silt form my eyes
bleach the green from the pastures,feast on the grey
of teh night straight from the vines refusal to shine

your me favorite thing the one that i love
your the one so id die for your love

Blind the deafened moon stimulate the tombs of angels
ill open my heart wont fall apart
dont fall apart
your my favorite thing
and i feel like letting go...

Silverchair - Lever

Turn the mirrors face the wall
Don't you feel a little weak?
And I'd catch you when you fall
But you're falling all the time
Do you need it anymore?
Or do you need a little more?

Living your life like a bull in the trade
He doesn't know how it feels
Under my thumb like a bone under nail
She's in the know, how's it feel?

Live your life under machine guns
Canary down the mine

Maybe I'm on the lever

Spoiling my broth like a radio kid
Programmed computerised minds
Waving my luck under your nose
Like I found a four leaf clover

Silverchair - Too Much of Not Enough

She tripped on a hole
that I'd dug in the soil to be part
of a human garden
And I couldn't stand
in the straight postured sun
But you stood in the mud
which came unsoiled

When I came along, when I came along
when I came along

So you never stop needing
You never stop needing

A close look at something so close - it's too much of not enough
A close look at something so close - it's too much of not enough
When all we need is just a taste

I strapped myself in
for a safe saccharide
Before it started I tried
To be anything I saw fit
And it all seemed to fit
but you came undone

When I came along, when I came along
when I came along

So you never stop needing
You never stop needing

A close look at something so close - it's too much of not enough
A close look at something so close - it's too much of not enough
When all we need is just a taste

Blind white lies and shallow truth
Broken strings and stolen youth
I've seen too much of not enough
But you came much closer then they had before
You came much closer then they had before
You came much closer then they had before...

You never stop needing
You never stop needing
You never stop needing
And it's good for nothing...

Silverchair - Tuna in the Brine

I fondle keys to my heart
when everyone's heart seems so calm
And you found the lock to my dorm and opened the doors to my trust
Fund my vestry

The light in my darkest hour is fear
Denies me of anything good so
Don't lose your heart you'll need it

And don't lose your heart you'll have to
Take another pill and tell another lie
And lie amongst your lies like tuna in the brine

Take everything that you're not
and don't be so scared to tamper (temper) with (temper)
"tampered with" evidence (tamper)
Coz you'll come along for the sun if you come at all
The light in my darkest hour is fear
Denies me of anything good so
don't lose your heart you'll need it

And don't lose your heart you'll have to
lie amongst your lies like tuna in the brine
And don't lose your heart
Don't lose your - don't lose your heart
To lose your heart you'll have to...
Take... take... take...

Painting a lie seeing the colours but you seem closer to everything

Closer now than we ever have been
We're closer now that we ever should (we) be
Closer now than we've ever been before
Closer to everything

Busking for change and changing everything
Feeble fables aren't changing many things
It's my time to shine like a tuna in the brine
For my pregnant paws aren't changing anything...
To all of the animals who
keep sipping the sweat from my back,
You're making me ill and I can't get enough

So take another pill and tell another lie
And lie amongst your lies like tuna in the brine

Silverchair - One Way Mule

VERSE

Let my spirit ride on a one way mule
Blistered skin in a cold hearted room
Distant demotion on a concrete wall
Naked naked
I'll climb right back to you

CHORUS

Love me for my mind
'coz im a dangerous heart
and I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you

Distant demotion on a concrete wall

BRIDGE

Do you feel
Do you feel
Do you need

CHORUS

Love me for my mind
'coz I'm a dangerous heart
And I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you
Do you love me for my mind
'coz I'm a dangerous heart
And I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you

Patient, we're all asleep in some danger
RUN MY WAY GO

CHORUS

Love me for my mind
'coz im a dangerous heart
And I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you
Do you love me for my mind
'coz I'm a dangerous heart
And I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you

Silverchair - World Upon Your Shoulders

All the bridges in the world
won't save you
If there is no other side
to cross to

When you're world's not feeling ugly
and the world's not too much

Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
And burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Take the world upon your shoulders

Half full glasses
Lost in empty houses

When you're world's not feeling ugly
and the world's not too much

Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
And burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Take the world upon your shoulders

Violent, big and violent
Like a thing that's big, big
and violent

When you're world's not feeling ugly
and the world's not too much

Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
And burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders

Silverchair - World Upon Your Shoulders

All the bridges in the world
won't save you
If there is no other side
to cross to

When you're world's not feeling ugly
and the world's not too much

Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
And burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Take the world upon your shoulders

Half full glasses
Lost in empty houses

When you're world's not feeling ugly
and the world's not too much

Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
And burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Take the world upon your shoulders

Violent, big and violent
Like a thing that's big, big
and violent

When you're world's not feeling ugly
and the world's not too much

Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders
And burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Take the world upon your shoulders
Take the world upon your shoulders

Silverchair - Without You

Miles away
There's hopeless smiles brighter than mine
And I need for you to come and go
Without the truth falling out

Old incisions refusing to stay
Like the sun through the trees on a cloudy day

And you brighten my life like a polystyrene hat
But it melts in the sun like a life without love
And I've waited for you so i'll keep crying out

Without you...
Without you...

Telephone
Socially scared and impaired
If the trees will bloom the wind can blow
Without the fruit falling out

Feels like the wind blows
Holding you with us
She takes no other
Falls light and ashes
Blooming like winter

Silverchair - The Greatest View

You're the analyst
The fungus in my milk
When you want no one
And you got someone
Through the wind
You crawl
And laugh at burning dunes
When no one else will
Ever see

Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why you feel like letting go

I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here

Mistakes don't mean a thing
If you don't regret them
So pack your tactic toes for the winter
Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin
No-one else will ever see

I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here

Now that you know why you feel like you do
They're turning their head whilst they wait
For no one
And finally I know why I feel like you're letting go

I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
I'm watching you watch
Over me and I've got
The greatest view from here
The greatest view from here
The greatest view

Silverchair - Across the Night

Across the night
It was the moon that stole my slumber
Across the night
I fell in love with people sleeping
And hugged a man's arthritic shoulder

I fell tired, asleep in a golden ocean
Your eyes perspired, a spike in my fascination

I don't mean to make you cry
But this feeling will run right through the night
And I'll only make you cry with these feelings

Sleepless, untamed without a leash on the light around me

So let us be married and have another baby
Coz I don't wanna be lonely I just wanna be alone
Yes let's just get married shouting baby, baby, babies
"You'll never sleep at all"
But I don't wanna be lonely

Never seen the sunshine
From higher points than sunrise

Saliva - No Hard Feelings

All the pain that haunts me still.
And all the shame surrounding you.
And all the past that I can't kill, forever wrapped around me.
And all the sadness in our lives, and all the things I can't hide.
And all the fear that's deep inside, from all the years of hiding.

There's a ghost that's inside of my mind.
There's a pain that is haunting me still, and I could never go back and rewind.
And I could never have peace or be still.

Somebody take this away
Somebody take this away
Somebody take this away

Somebody take this away, they took you far away from me.
So I could never find you.
They made me blind but I could see, the loaded gun from behind you.
The end of everything we knew, inside of me and inside you.
I miss the way we used to be.
When I was what would bring you through.

There's a ghost that's inside of my mind.
There's a pain that is haunting me still, and I could never go back and rewind.
And I could never have peace or be still.

Somebody take this away
Somebody take this away
Somebody take this away

SOMEBOODY TAKE THIS

No Hard feelings
No Hard feelings
No Hard feelings
NO Hard feelings
No Hard feelings
No Hard feelings

Somebody take this away
Somebody take this away
Somebody take this away

SOMEBODY TAKE THIS!!!

Saliva - Carry On

I found a treasure in you, a black coal diamond in the rough.
I chipped away to find out, that there was nothing here.
Nothin' like I thought.

I learned that lesson slowly, over seven years I threw away.
Giving you my total attention.
While I was finding you I lost my way.

Sinking like a stone, cutting to the bone.
How can I be safe, or find my way back home.
'Cause you have been erased, I'd rather be alone.
You best be on your way so I can carry on.

You stuck your blade within me.
Cold metal and steel sinking through my bones.
But you have resurrected, everything I couldn't feel and I thought was gone.

Sinking like a stone, cutting to the bone.
How can I be safe, or find my way back home.
'Cause you have been erased, I'd rather be alone.
You best be on your way so I can carry on.

Sinking like a stone, cutting to the bone.
How can I be safe, or find my way back home.
'Cause you have been erased, I'd rather be alone.
You best be on your way so I can carry on.

Saliva - I Want You

I thought this was a perfect love affair.
Not like the other ones, not like the other ones.
But now I think I see things pretty clear.
Just like the other ones, just like the other ones.

But I want you, I need you.
That one that makes me feel alive.
I want you, I need you.
I feel like I've wasted all my time.

I feel like I've died and gone to hell.
Just like the other ones, just like the other ones.
There's no more excuses you can sell.
I hope you had your fun, but I'm not the only one.

But I want you, I need you.
That one that makes me feel alive.
I want you, I need you.
I feel like I've wasted all my time.

But I want you, I need you.
That one that makes me feel alive.
I want you, I need you.
I feel like I've wasted all my time.

Saliva - F**K ALL YALL!!!

Heres a little story that needs to be told, about the devil doing business in the fiery hole.
Here's a little story that's oh so oh so true, about the fame and the money and the lawyers too.

There's just one thing I'll say to you
...if you're fucking me, I'm gonna fuck with you.
Since all my money you're chasing, I'll find a steady replacement.
Fuckin' me must've been entertainment.

Nobody move,nobody gets burned
Nobody move,nobody gets burned
Nobody move,nobody gets burned

Here's to all the fucking lies you told, about a rabbit in a hat that's running for the hole.
Here's to all the fucking money you made, so take your nickel back and default the rest of your take.

There's just one thing I'll say to you
If you're fuckin me, im gonna fuck you too
Since all my money you're chasing, I'll find a steady replacement.

Nobody move, nobody gets burned, burned
Nobody move, nobody gets burned
Nobody move, nobody gets burned, burned


Cuss what goes around is coming back around
So.. F**K ALL YALL!!!

Saliva - Open Eyes

Miles and miles of cold and lonely road.
And now I'm standin' here alone.
And all the truth that I've been told, begins to perfectly unfold.
And was it wasted time and was it all for nothing.
And I can face the pain of bein' alone for the first time in my life.

I open up my eyes, I feel like I could fly away, 'Til I reach the other side.
Sometimes we must decide, that everything that was meant to be will be.
And I don't even have to try.

It was as simple as a song, it was inside me all along.
If it's the truth that makes me wrong, then I would rather be alone.
You said I crossed the line, you said I pulled you under.
I finally realized I can be strong for...

The first time of my life

I open up my eyes, I feel like I could fly away, 'Til I reach the other side.
Sometimes we must decide, that everything that was meant to be will be.
And I don't even have to try.

I open up my eyes, I feel like I could fly away, 'Til I reach the other side.
Sometimes we must decide, that everything that was meant to be will be.
And I don't even have to try.

And I dont even have to try
And I dont even have to try
And I dont even have to try
And I dont even have to try

Saliva - Two Steps Back

I see the end of every book I've ever read.
I see the price of everything I ever said.
I feel the break in every rule I've ever bent.
And I hear the sound of all the voices in my head.

Fallin' away, takin' the fall, can't even find no peace at all.
Will we ever change, no taking it back, one step foward two steps back.

Fallin' away, takin' the fall, can't even find no peace at all.
Will we ever change, no taking it back, one step foward two steps back.

I've seen all the falling buildings on the Tv hotel bed.
I've seen mother's babies risk their lives for a waving flag.
And I heard the Dixie Chickens run their mouths in a foreign land.
And then try to take back everything they ever said

Fallin' away, takin' the fall, can't even find no peace at all.
Will we ever change, no taking it back, one step foward two steps back.

Fallin' away, takin' the fall, can't even find no peace at all.
Will we ever change, no taking it back, one step foward two steps back.

Will someone please take this away.
You better watch everything that you say.
Because it's gonna come back to you.

I see the end of every book we've ever read
I see the price fo everything you've ever said
And i feel the break in every rule we'ver ever bent
And i still hear the sound of all the voices in my head

Fallin' away, takin' the fall, can't even find no peace at all.
Will we ever change, no taking it back, one step foward two steps back.

Fallin' away, takin' the fall, can't even find no peace at all.
Will we ever change, no taking it back, one step foward two steps back.


Were falling two steps back.
Were faling two steps back.

Saliva - No Regrets, Vol. 2

All the pain that haunts me still.
And all the shame surrounding you, is now the past that I can't kill.
Forever wrapped around me.
And all the sadness was your life, are now the things that I can't hide.
It's just a fear that's deep inside, from all the years of hiding.

There's a ghost that's inside of my mind, and a pain is still haunting me.
So I can never go back and rewind.
And I can never have peace or be still.

Somebody take this away.
But I have lived for you, and every single little thing you do.
But I have lived for you, and I won't kill myself for loving you.

They took you far away from me, so I could never find you.
They made me blind but I can see, the loaded gun behind you.
The end of all that this boy knew, inside of me was the inside of you.
I miss the way we used to be, when I was what would bring you through.

Because I have lived for you, and every little thing you do.
But I can't rise above your lies, that you have gladly made your life.
And I won't kill myself for loving you.

Saliva - Survival of the Sickest

I'm the hand up Mona Lisa's dress,
I'm the smile on every criminal you'll ever acquit.
I'm the things you've done you'll never admit.
'Cause one hand is on the bible and the others in shit.

Right now, your face is in the crowd, I'm shouting out loud, the one you counted out of the game.
Oh wow, take a good look at me now, should have never had a doubt, is that you I hear screaming my name.

So move over, I'm the driver, and I'm high and I'm gonna keep getting higher, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm the one you thought that you could erase, but a predator that's faster than the food that he chased.
When you fall off the horse you brought to the race, I'll be the one who's flying by you kickin' shit in your face.

Right now, your face is in the crowd, I'm shouting out loud, the one you counted out of the game.

Saliva - Bait & Switch

Back in the day, I dedicated my life to becoming a big rock 'n roll star.
Back in the day, I dedicated my life to becoming a bit rock 'n roll star.
I began to change, and I rearranged my life.
So I could buy a big rock 'n roll car.

All of this, all of this, all of this looks so easy.
But all of this, all of this, all of this ain't so easy.

What in the hell am I fighting for.
And what in the hell am I trying to prove.

Saturday, I wipe the sleep away and played in front of thirty thousand plus.
Sunday, I wake up between two girls who are coughin''Coz we got a smokey bus.

All of this, all of this, all of this looks so easy.
But all of this, all of this, all of this can get cheesy.

What in the hell am I fighting for.
And what in the hell am I trying to prove.
What in the hell am I fighting for.
I'm destined to win or born to lose.

1, 2, 1 2 3 4!

Saliva - Razor's Edge

Walking on Razor's edge, so hard for me to find my way home.
How could it have come to this?
So hard to pick the right from the wrong.

I can't try to hide behind myself anymore.
I can't try to reason with the pain and misfortune.
So I will grab hold to forever and walk right through this open door.

Walking on the lonely road, the heartbreaking pain at my side.
Without two arms to hold me, nothing but the chain of goodbyes.

I can't try to hide behind myself anymore.
I can't try to reason with the pain and the torture.
So I will grab hold to forever and walk right through this open door.

I can't try to hide behind myself anymore.
I can't try to reason with the pain and misfortune.
So I will grab hold to forever and walk right through this open door.

I can't try to hide behind myself anymore.
I can't try to reason with the pain and the torture.
So I will grab hold to forever and walk right through this open door.

Walking on Razor's edge, so hard for me to find my way home.

Saliva - One Night Only

This is another song of Survival of the Sickest



Aways wanted to be president, I always wanted to be Superman.
I ended up a fuckin' superstar.

I'm better off than either one of them.

I wanna take you to a higher place.
Say all the things that you could never say.
I'll even help you try to make a change.
Before the whole world blows up in your face.

Come inside for a moment.
Come inside for a moment.

I'm the voice inside of you, that says there's nothing you can't do.
If you could open up your eyes and lay your heart out on the line.
I'm the voice inside your head, that brings your mind back from the dead.
I hope that I have served you right, even if only for one night.

I'm not religious or fanatical, but I'm a motherfuckin' miracle
You knock me down and I get up again.
So hit the lights out and let the show begin.

Come inside for a moment.
Come inside for a moment.

I'm the voice inside of you, that says there's nothing you can't do.
If you could open up your eyes and lay your heart out on the line.
I'm the voice inside your head, that brings your mind back from the dead.
I hope that I have served you right, even if only for one night.

Come inside for a moment.
Come inside for a moment.

I'm the voice inside of you, that says there's nothing you can't do.
If you could open up your eyes and lay your heart out on the line.
I'm the voice inside your head, that brings your mind back from the dead.
I hope that I have served you right, even if only for one night.

I'm the voice inside of you, that says there's nothing you can't do.
If you could open up your eyes and lay your heart out on the line.
I'm the voice inside your head, that brings your mind back from the dead.
I hope that I have served you right, even if only for one night.

Saliva - Rock & Roll Revolution

What's this monkey business going on today
You music business whores are all about just getting paid.
You throw your shit against the wall and see it doesn't stick.
Been tired of standin' round and watchin' while you make me sick.

You hide and choke on all the issues of your time.
You'll never save the world if all you do is whine.
To tell the truth I think it's best you step aside.
'Cause real rock 'n roll ain't never gonna die.

So I say hell yeah.
The Rock 'n Roll Revolution.
There ain't no confusion baby.
And I'm not gonna take your shit anymore.
You're not an artist, you're a whore.

Straight up, stripped down, turned up, kick ass rock 'n roll.
It's the only thing that's still around that's gonna save our soul.
So get down on your knees and pray to the gods of old.
'Cause rock 'n roll's a revolution and it's taking hold.
