Ravislayer V3 - Incubus Lyrics

Nice To Know You

Verse 1:	Better than watching Gellar bending silver spoons Better than witnessing newborn nebulas in bloom She who sees from up high smiles and surely sings Perspective price your once weighty eyes and it gives you wings
Chorus:	I haven't felt the way I feel today In so long it's hard for me to specify I'm beginning to notice how much this feels Like a waking limb, pins and needles, nice to know you Goodbye, nice to know you Goodbye, nice to know you
Verse 2:	Deeper than the deepest Cousteau would ever go And higher than the heights of what we often think we know Blessed she who clearly sees the wood for the trees To obtain a birds eye is to turn a blizzard to a breeze (Chorus) So could it be that it has been there all along? (Chorus)

Circles
You saw me lost and treading water
I looked pathetic
I looked as helpless as a stinger without a bee
But underneath my presentation, yeh
I knew the walls were coming down
And the stones that fell were aiming away from me, oh

Hey what would it mean to you,
What would it mean to you?
To know that it'll come back around again,
Hey whatever it means to you,
Whatever it means to you,
To know that everything moves in circles, yeh

I saw you standing in my headlights (blink, blink, blink)
I thought I'd run you down for the weight you left on me
Instead I pushed rewind, reversed and drove away
And seeing you disappear in my rearview
Brought to me the word reciprocity

Hey what would it mean to you,
What would it mean to you?
To know that it'll come back around again,
Hey whatever it means to you,
Whatever it means to you,
To know that everything moves in circles, yeh

Round and round we go
Who could known it'd end so well
We fall on and we fall off the existential carousel

Hey what would it mean to you,
What would it mean to you?
To know that it'll come back around again,
Hey whatever it means to you,
Whatever it means to you,
To know that everything moves in circles, yeh

Everything moves in circles, yeh
Round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round

Wish You Were Here

Verse 1:	The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket, I lean against the wind, Pretend that I am weightless, And in this moment I am happy...happy,
Chorus:	I wish you were here, I wish you were here, I wish you were here, I wish you were......here.
Verse 2:	I lay my head into the sand The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it I'm counting UFO's I signal them with my lighter And in this moment I am happy...happy
Chorus (Slightly altered):	I wish you were here, I wish you were here, I wish you were......here, wish you were here.
Bridge:	The world's a roller coaster and I am not strapped in Maybe I should hold with care but my hands are busy in the air (Chorus 2)

Just a Phase
I am bottled, fizzy water and you are shaking me up,
You are a fingernail running down the chalkboard I thought I left in third grade,
Now my only consolation is that this could not last forever,
Even though you're singing and thinking how well you've got it made.

Who are you? When will you be through?
Yea it's just a phase...it will be over soon,
Yea it's just a phase...yea it's just a....phase.

Call it women's intuition, but I think I'm onto something here,
Temporaryism has been the black plague and the Jesus of our age,
I know I sound opinionated, maybe biased and quite possibly jaded,
But sooner than later they'll be throwing quarters at you on stage.

Who are you? When will you be through?
Yea it's just a phase...it will be over soon,
Yea it's just a phase...yea it's just a....phase and I'm waiting for it to be over soon.

11am
Seven a.m.
The garbage truck beaps as it backs up,
And I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away.
Could I push rewind?
The credits traverse, signifying the end
But I missed the best part
Could we please go back to start?
Forgive my indecision

Then again, then again, then again, you're always first when no one's on your side
But then again, then again, then again, a day will come when I want off that ride

Eleven a.m.
By now you would think that I would be up
But my bedsheets shade the heat of choices I've made
And what did I find?
I never thought I could want someone so much
Cause now you're not here and I'm knee deep in that old fear
Forgive my indecision
I am only a man

Then again, then again, then again, you're always first when no one's on your side
But then again, then again, then again, a day will come when I want off that ride

Twelve p.m. and my dusty telephone rings
Heavy head up from my pillow, who could it be?
I hope it's you, it's you.

Then again, then again, then again, you're always first when no one's on your side
But then again, then again, then again, the day has come and I want off that ride

Blood On the Ground
I don't want to talk to you anymore,
I'm afraid of what I might say,
I bite my tongue everytime you come around,
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground,

Hand over my heart I swear I've tried everything I could,
Within all my power two weeks and one hour,
I slaved and now I've got nothing to show,
Oh if only you'd grow taller than a brick wall,
From now on I'm gonna start holding my breath,
When you come around and you flex that fake grin,
Cause something inside of me has said more than twice,
That breathing less air beats breathing you at all.

I don't want to talk to you anymore,
I'm afraid of what I might say,
I bite my tongue everytime you come around,
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground,

Hand over my mouth I'm earning the right to my silence,
In quiet discerning between ego and timing,
Good judgement is once again proving to me that it's still worth it's weight in gold.
From now on I'm gonna be so much more wary,
When you start to speak and my warm blood starts to boil,
That seeing you is like pulling teeth,
And hearing your voice is like chewing tin foil.
I don't want to talk to you anymore,
I'm afraid of what I might say,
I bite my tongue everytime you come around,
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground,

High fives to a better judgement.
By saying less today I will gain more
Low twos to you my fickle friend
You brought the art of silent war

I don't want to talk to you anymore,
I'm afraid of what I might say,
I bite my tongue everytime you come around,
Cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground,

Mexico
You could see me reaching
So why couldn't you have met me half way?
You could see me bleeding
And you could not put pressure on the wound

You only think about yourself...you only think about yourself
You better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico

You could see my breathing
But you still kept your hand over my mouth
You could feel me seething
But you just turned your nose up in the air

You only think about yourself...you only think about yourself
You better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico

You only think about yourself...you only think about yourself
You better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico

Warning
Bat your eyes girl,
Be otherworldly,
Count your blessings,
Seduce a stranger.
What's so wrong with,
Being happy?
Kudos to those who,
See through sickness, yeh.
Over and over and over and over you...

She woke in the morning,
She knew that her life had passed her by,
She called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by!"

I suggest we
Learn to love ourselves before it's
Made illegal
When will we learn?
When will we change?
Just in time to
See it all fall down
Those left standing...will make millions
Writing books on the way it should have been
She woke in the morning,
She knew that her life had passed her by,
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by!"

Floating in this
Cosmic jacuzzi
We are like frogs oblivious
To the water
Starting to boil
No one flinches
We all float face down
She woke in the morning,
She knew that her life had passed her by,
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by!"

Echo
There's something about the look in your eyes,
Something I noticed when the light was just right,
It reminded me twice that I was alive,
And it reminded me that you're so worth the fight,
My biggest fear will be the rescue of me,
Strange how it turns out that way,

Could you show me dear...something I've not seen?
Something infinitely interesting,
Could you show me dear...something I've not seen?
Something infinitely interesting,

There's something about the way you move,
I see your mouth in slow motion when you sing,
More subtle than something, someone contrives,
Your movements echo that I have seen the real thing, oh yeh,
Your biggest fear will be the rescue of you,
Strange how it turns out that way,
Could you show me dear...something I've not seen?
Something infinitely interesting,
Could you show me dear...something I've not seen?
Something infinitely interesting,

Have You Ever

Verse 1:	To get up and walk away would be too easy, So stay and stand your ground, just watch your mouth with me, On the back of every right there's a wrong looming, So here you and I should tread as soft as these razor blades for boots will let be,
Chorus:	Have you ever tried to step in my shoes? Have you ever tried to balance on that beam? And if you ever tried to fit in my shoes They'll never be quite as soft as they seem
Verse 2:	(Thought) Unabashed honesty would be ideal But a prophet did once say that honesty is a lonely word So where do we go from here...abandon ship now My problem is you make me melt and I don't want to be frozen anymore (Chorus)
Bridge:	Have you ever...have you ever tried to I have never...I have never tried to (Chorus)

Are You In?
It's so much better,
When everyone is in are you in?
It's so much better,
When everyone is in are you in?
Ooooh..............Are you in?

It's so much better,
When everyone is in are you in?
It's so much easier,
When chiffon green is in fashion
Ooooh..............Are you in?
Are you...are you...........
Everybody in...........

Ooooh..............Are you in?
Ooooh............

Under My Umbrella

Verse 1:	When I close my eyes, I can see for miles, There's comfort in my dark seat, And chaos in the aisles,
Chorus:	These eyes are not your eyes, And these eyes are not the color that, Your arid eyes might be, No, I was not around, When those eyes of yours decided so, I refuse to kneel before the sights you choose to see
Verse 2:	When I close my eyes I remember how to smile Under my umbrella I'm an accomplished exile (Chorus)
Bridge:	If this is right, I'd rather be wrong If this is sight, I'd rather be blind
	(Chorus) (Bridge)

Aqeuous Transmission
I'm floating down a river
Oars freed from their holes long ago
Lying face up on the floor of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow

Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river

Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river named 'emotion'
Will I make it back to shore
Or drift into the unknown

Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river

I'm building an antenna
Transmissions will be sent when I am through
Maybe we'll meet again further down the river
And share what we both discovered...
Then revel in the view

Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river

I'm floating down a river
I'm floating down a river
I'm floating down a river
I'm floating down a river (Repeat to fade)
