Hanoi
Elephant Run
Fri, vital Ett ivrigt skal Jag är vaken, Nyfiken och mild Givmild, öm I en dröm Jag är naken Ohöljd, uppenbar Helt utan försvar Tiden har jag kvar Ideal Bland tusental Är jag naken? Insvept i behag? Kraftlös, Sval Trivial Jag är vaken En viljesvag despot Som såhär efteråt Hörs skrikandes ‘förlåt’

Autophobic
Elephant Run
Don't want you to be afraid As I hold your head right under the surface Don't shake or shiver, don't hesitate Feel my warm hands around your neck You say you wanna save the world You say you wanna save the world I am afraid, like you, like you So, come and save me, change me, take me! Here I am! I'm just a poor lost creature, break me if you can Don't look back on the life that you used to embrace Welcome the world of mine, you're now lost in my maze I am afraid, like you, like you Whenever I am ready, I will shoot them dead They are all looking for us, hide here in my bed I'm never gonna blame you, they’ll say it's your fault I will take care of you here deep down in my vault I’ll whisper tender words to you to keep them out I’ll gently tie your hands to mine when you’re in doubt Don’t you dare try to leave this fortress without me As long as you keep quiet I'll promise you'll be free De letar efter dig, de letar efter oss Kom, ta min hand nu, kom, kom försvinn med mig Kom, med mig, kom! Kom, Kom, Kom! Lita på mig, inte på någon annan Du ska aldrig, nånsin, mer vara rädd, kom med mig, kom!

Make It Real
Elephant Run
Are we yet immune To what we are defying? Did we give up too soon? Will they know we were trying? We might have caused pain But we are all just a drop in the rain We drifted lightly through the mist, with shuttered eyes, still, we persist The gap is diffuse But the fall is quite short We’ve got plenty to lose But nothing to fight for It’s easy to stray When the winds keep on blowing our way We’re drifting lightly through the mist, with open eyes, still, we persist Is it real? Do we want to know? Are we real? Will we ever know? Make it real! Or make us feel like we tried once more, cause we’re unsure Make it real! Are we real? Is it real? Are we real? Make it real! Are we real? Make it real!

We Are Heores
Elephant Run
Heroes We are achievers, givers, leaders Fair-minded, fearless, saints, believers Sensitive, wide-eyed dreamers True-hearted minds, filling a virtuous void We are healers We are seekers We are untroubled, laid-back, sleepers Stargazing, blameless, plain repeaters Trivial, groping cheaters Faint-hearted minds, fleeing a needless guilt We are keepers We are reapers We are devoted, hollow eaters Righteous receivers, turn-coats, preachers Big-headed, keen deceivers Hard-hearted swines, feeding a tumorous growth We are heroes We are brutal We are brilliant We are careless We are indifferent We are quiet We are gentle We are tender We are heroes

Urubu
Elephant Run
Vakna ur din dvala djup För varje fall, från varje stup É o que te faz One more sun to rise Nunca me olhar assim För ingenting is everything For those who slept At the bottom of that depth Fingi que é normal O bem e o mal För den som gått igenom eld Won't get lost while they’re in hell Dansar och ler Tem nada pra perder Se cada fumaça fosse fogo Står hela vår värld i lågor Förutom för den That falls asleep again Fugi, andei pra trás O que é o moral Fugi, andei pra trás O que é o moral

Pega Mal
Elephant Run
Meu bem você podia avisar Um dia pra eu tomar banho Minha barba está pra fazer Os dentes eu nem vou mostrar Meu bem você podia ligar Faz dias que eu quero falar A barba está uma beleza Minha boca um beijo mortal Quando você chegou Pô, não podia avisar? Logo que eu te vi Eu não tô legal, baixo astral Quando você chegou Logo que eu te vi Lembrei de tudo Não foi legal Puta que pariu Se lembra do que eu te falei Faz anos que não leio mais Se lembra o que falei pra você Que Beatles também pega mal Puta que caretice Foi a causa de tudo Lembra que te falei Que não gosto de rock, não gosto de rave Logo que eu te vi Se lembra o que falei pra você Dos livros que não quero mais Meu bem eu nunca mais te falei Da vida que ficou para trás Se lembra o que falei pra você A também vai se fuder Quer saber Fiquei aí esperando Encheu o saco Mas também né Se aparecer um rolê é nois Porque não estou fazendo nada mesmo Então foda-se Mas se tiver traz uma seda

Your Head First
Elephant Run
Learn how to sing just like the birds But careful not to spend the words Clip your wings and make sure not to ask why And jump when they hire you to fly Linger in the echo chamber Don’t fight, don’t you dare surrender Overestimate your worth Pray that they’ll take your head first Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!

Utsålt
Elephant Run
Where the winds cannot blow The grass doesn't grow Where the gods stopped to show A long time ago Where the fields are unfed Revealing the dead By turning your head You'll see sunshine instead Take it Tame it Name it Sell what’s prone to be sold Throw what's getting to old Claim that you did not know Utsålt! Utsålt! Utsålt! Utsålt! Where no wealth can be found There's dread in the ground All you hear is the sound Of the rates going down When you filled your demand In leftover land Turn your head, start to plan It's time to expand Take it Tame it Name it Sell what’s prone to be sold Throw what's getting to old Claim that you did not know
