Max Apollo

Take your time, I’m standing straight
I’ll just wait for my final cue
A battleship on call
How many more days do I have to wait for it to rain on my parade
It’s hard to stay where I am now

Let them lions roar until the elephants align
Till all the tamers resign
Let them bodies float
Among the candid sound of a million beating drums
I’ll just keep waiting till it comes

I’m counting the hours, I’m counting the times
May calculations, they ruined my peace of mind
Ran out of the patience I beared when I was waiting
My legs got tired of standing still
So come sweep me off my feet, I’m yours

Let them lions roar until the elephants align
Til all the tamers resign
Let them bodies float
Among the candid sound of a million beating drums

Let them lions roar
Among the candid sound of a million beating drums
I’ll just keep waiting till it comes

Mother can you see me now
Even when I ache
Suddenly things start tumbling down like falling leaves
But still I breathe
Still I breathe
Still I breathe

Mother can you hear the gods
And how they laugh at me
Suddenly the highest of all peaks seem unobtainable to me
But still I breathe
Still I breathe
Still I breathe

I face the prettiest of thoughts
And put them in your hands
Sometimes afraid that someday, someway I might lose all I have
And all I’ll do is stand in front of you and confess

That still I breathe
Still I breathe
Still I breathe

Still I breathe
Still I breathe
Still I breathe

You tie me close to your heart and raise the giver in my head
As you keep me warm
And walls are melting
Hallucinating, I feel love
And I’ll let you be the fever that I feel
And I’ll let you burn a hole right into the sun and call it home

So I let myself fall into your arms where I would simmer down to trust
So I am waiting
I am shaking like a little baby boy
And I’ll wait for your majesty to come home

And I’ll let you be the fever that I feel
And I’ll let you burn a hole right into the sun and call it home
And I’ll let you be the fever that I feel
When everything is falling into its place
Everywhere your feet may touch the holy grounds everywhere your love may keep our weapons down

‘Cause I’ll persist until I see you rise and shine

What have you done to my heart
A streak of light in this cold
This high has seen better times
Less fluorescent but still bold

Try to take it easy
You don’t want to break what’s on your way

What have you done to my soul
Colors that I’ve never seen this way
'Cause sometimes you need to be pushed
With a soothing pain

Try to take it easy
You don’t want to break what’s on your way
'Cause everything that keeps you on your feet
Might guide your way

My love
Our house is on fire
Yet my memory’s still lucid
'Cause I don’t feel no pain today

I feel lonely with every step that I take
I don’t feel good and my body starts to shake
I fell in love with a girl I haven’t seen or met so far
Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only one who sees
That what they say it takes to be a man
And what a man can be It’s all lies, it’s all a fraud
They only feed you with what they’re being fed

Sometimes I still feel it’s all so dull

So why don’t you take it all
Take it away from me
'Cause someday I’ll leave this place
Even if cities don’t run away

It makes me lose my mind, but I don’t get it why
Everybody’s moving so fast and I’m not even blinking with an eye
But I don’t want your badge, I don’t need no gun
And I’d rather bleed truth than feel misunderstood

Sometimes I still feel it’s all so dull

So why don’t you take it all
Take it away from me
'Cause someday I’ll leave this place
Even if cities don’t run away
Don’t run away

Hold on tight, it’s just that same old storm
It won’t do you no harm no more
Now that you’re strong
The day has come to an end and all the people have left
That have praised to catch your fall while they fell

'Cause I’ve seen you in the dirt
Singing songs about needles and guns
I hope you see your crown by now
'Cause we’ve seen it all along

Only the people dressed in black
Embrace the colors you left
The grateful souls that see
That you loved

'Cause I’ve seen you in the dirt
Singing songs about needles and guns
I hope you see your crown by now
'Cause we’ve seen it for

At least as long as I’ve seen you in the dirt
Singing songs about needles and guns
I hope you see your crown by now
'Cause we’ve seen it for so long, my brother
We’ve seen you fall, you fell right into the sun

Hello
Nice to see you, after all, we haven’t been through yet
So go turn on your machines
We got a little closer since the times we fought are over
Now it’s time to go get gone

We loved unless we lost it all
The constant fear that everything we built up could come to fall
I turned around and walked away, you burned it down in minutes
Sewing seeds on fields of salt

Oh, ain’t this what we’d need now
Some little heart to lose it all on, I don’t mind the loss
Unless we go anywhere we want to

Let’s burn it down another time
If you’ll be yours, then I’ll be mine
Let’s burn it down another time
If you’ll be yours, then I’ll be mine

Well well well well
One of those days again
My body fights the thoughts I sent your way
When I was stinking blind
When every once in a while I pretend to close my eyes in order to
Catch my breath

So come on and breathe little boy, 'til you run out of air
Go lose your mind, tell your tides about why you think it’s not fair
How you should handle all the low tides when you don’t know
What the flood brings in when it’s time

Take your thoughts right where noise is
Right where they belong

Cry your heart out, is this all you got
Just keep on giving till it’s gone
'Cause baby darling you’re not going down
Just keep on giving

Well, little boy, I think it’s time to shake hands and take things as they are
You won’t change anything by giving me those scars
When every once in a while you pretend to close your eyes
But it’s not the time to be blind

Just take your thoughts right where noise is
Right where they belong

Cry your heart out, is this all you got
Just keep on giving till it’s gone
'Cause baby darling you’re not going down
Just keep on giving till it’s gone
Na na na
Just keep on giving till it’s gone
Na na na
Just keep on giving till

Is it the fall that you aim for
That brilliant inconsistency
It numbs and keeps you close to
The blinded man’s simplicity

I wish your heart was catching fire
Until your mind is on the run
And you let it rain down on you
'Cause someday peace of mind will follow your decline

The manic suspense is what you came for
Oh it ain’t love, and it will never be
So you’re crawling through the storm
To avoid losing control
I wish your heart was catching fire
Until your mind is on the run
And you let it rain down on you
'Cause someday peace of mind will follow your decline

I carry your weight on the back of my shoulders
I’m tired, I moan, but still I hesitate to put you down
I carry the tears running down your cheek
Before they get caught by your upper lip
You’re the beautiful hum in my head

Just like a little shot of heroin
You smile before you drag me in
A momentary growth of rest
You let it rise and make it fall
The moment you step out the door

I lost my train of thought while talking to your face again
This happens to me all the time
So why not let it happen once more
I’d like you to end it all, I’d like you to make it dull
That beautiful hum in my head

Just like a little shot of heroin
You smile before you drag me in
A momentary growth of rest
You let it rise and make it fall
The moment you step out the door
