Task 005. Play On.
My Mirror Speaks, Death Cab for Cutie
With every sun that sets I am feeling more Like a stranger on a foreign shore With an eroding beach disappearing from under me And when my mirror speaks, it never minces words 'Cause these eyes don't shine half As bright as they used to do and they haven't for quite a while 'Cause I'm a man who hides from all that binds And a mess of fading lines And there's a tangled thread inside my head With nothing on either end I always fall in love with an open door With a horizon on an endless sea As I look around the ones who were standing right in front of me And then my mirror speaks with irreverence Like a soldier I can't command As it sees a frightened child in the body of a full-grown man And he's a man who hides from all binds And a mess of fading lines And there's a tangled thread inside his head With nothing on either end There's nothing on either end A new position from a different view And nothing changes but the slightest hues
Two, Sleeping At Last
Sweetheart, you look a little tired When did you last eat? Come in and make yourself right at home Stay as long as you need Tell me, is something wrong? If something's wrong, you can count on me You know I'll take my heart clean apart, if it helps your's beat It's okay if you can't find the words Let me take your coat And this weight off your shoulders Like a force to be reckoned with A mighty ocean or a gentle kiss I will love you with every single thing I have Like a tidal wave, we'll make a mess Or calm waters, if that serves you best I will love you without any strings attached It's okay if you can't catch your breath You can take the oxygen straight out of my own chest I know exactly how the rule goes: Put my mask on first No, I don't want to talk about myself Tell me where it hurts I just want to build you up, build you up 'Til you're good as new And maybe one day I will get around to fixing myself too I don't even know where to start Already tired of trying to recall when it all fell apart I just want to love you, to love you, to love you well I just want to learn how, somehow, to be loved, myself
