Can feel you rising in my chest Oh, why is it so? And though this feeling it will pass I can't hide from what's inside of me And though it feels like dying I'm alive... Alive My hands are shaking soaking wet I think I'll lie down in my bed Or maybe smoke a cigarette To remind me it's all inside my head And don't it feel like dying? I'll get by... Get by Anxiety haunts me in my dreams But keeps me company A feeling I can keep I... Can feel you rising in my chest
2.
I can't teach your eyes to see me I can't teach your ears to hear me I can't teach your arms to hold me I never meant to make you leave me So darlin' can you tell me Can you tell me you'll believe me When I tell you that I need you When I tell you that I love you Lord I'm lost without your love I'm lost, I'm lost Lord I'm lost without your love
3.
I feel so far away Watching those birds fly I've got that birds eye point of view And it looks so lonely down there I think I'll stay up here Nighttime is drawing near So off to bed you go And I forgive the world who just can't see That when it goes to sleep I can be free, so... Don't bother me, I'm in my tree Oh, don't you worry I'm in no hurry now, I'm just stepping out
4.
Can I still be here and feeling When I'm so numb, when I've been dumbed... Down to the point of no return Can I be free, here and feeling When I'm so numb, when I've been dumbed... Down to the point of no return And all the days go passing by And all the children start to cry And all the eyes begin to blind And all the lies go passing by to... Steal your mind Can I still be, here and learning When I'm so numb, when I've been dumbed... Down to the point of no return Down to the point of no return Can be free, here and breathing When I'm so dumb, when I've been numbed... Down to the point of no return And all the days go passing by And all the children start to cry And all the eyes begin to blind And all the lies go passing by to... Steal your mind
5.
In a dream I thought I saw you On a hill down by the sea You were calling me From a garden so full of green I've grown quite fond of dreaming I'm even learning to fly Don't wake me up I'm only sleeping In a dream I saw the end We were sitting by a popcorn stand In Los Angeles Holding hands A wave washed over us I've grown quite fond of dreaming I'm even learning how to die Oh, don't wake me up I'm only sleeping Please don't wake me up I'm only dreaming I've grown quite fond of dreaming I'm even learning how to cry Please don't wake me up I'm only sleeping Please don't wake me up I'm only dreaming
6.
I can't shake this feeling, since you've gone I often wonder what went wrong Can't be myself when you're not here Can't be alone when no one's there In the back of my mind, thought you were just fine But I could not tell, oh, you hide it so well The night has come The day is done But I have no inspiration To write a song To sing along I am spent But the time's come to let it out I don't have to scream or shout Anymore to feel good about myself Though I'd like to Where do we go from here this time I'm drowning in my own fear Tonight, I'll try to make it right
7.
I went from no sleep To caught between sheets Sleeping the day away When will it end Lord only knows when Answers don't always come so easily It rings in my head The things that you said Is the sky falling down Or am I just dreaming Is it all over Or am I just sleeping Is it going down... Tonight? Been raining for days The sun won't come out Just give me someplace, oooh To lay my head down just for a while It rings in my head The things that you said Is the sky falling down Or am I just dreaming Is it all over Or am I just sleeping Is it going down... Tonight?
8.
He was no one born nowhere Black glasses and short blonde hair He was six-foot-six had a mile long stare Oh, Mal your a hell of a pal Working down at the Cavern Club He was nice but he had to get ruff He was just trying to do the best that he could Oh, Mal your a hell of a pal On the hunt for figures and things Plug it in, pick it up when it rings Getting more and more of what he could not afford Oh, Mal your a hell of a pal Get some paper, get a pen Jot it down, repeat it again There were 7 virtues, 7 sins Oh, Mal you'll get yours in the end Oh, Mal you'll get yours in the end He was shot in the front of his house Gunned down by the police man's rounds He was just trying to do the best that he could Oh, Mal your a hell of a pal Oh, Mal they can't hurt you now
9.
Over the hills through the woods to the ocean Through the plains through the trees to the sea If all is lost and meaningless What have we begun to be All ya need is love Through the pines through our minds through our scars From the depths of our hell to our hearts Through the lost and meaningless We shall be what we were born to be Free in love Love
10.
Well I know that I told you It would be alright But I forgot to write it down And you know that I showed you what's inside Now you're running for the door Tonight... In your eyes The sun does shine Well I know that I showed you all my records But I want them back from you And you know you really stole them I never gave them to you Now I'm crying, I feel I've got the blues Tonight... There will be No Robert Johnson for me
11.
In the middle of my sleep I go walking in my dreams In the middle of the night I see your face, darlin', darlin', darlin' In the middle of my dreams I go swimming in my sheets In the middle of the night I hear your voice, callin', darlin' In the middle of my sleep I go swimming in my dreams In the middle of the night I hear your voice, callin', darlin'
12.
Sitting in my square room and I'm thinking the unthinkable Contemplating what I don't know, connecting all the dots though I'm erasing all emotion, I believe it's all a motion Or a vibration unheard of Have I mentioned or invited you To my vast imagination Are you dealing with suffocation Are you forgetting who you once were Have you forgotten what you answered Please allow me to explain I'm just enamored with the rain Didn't mean to cause you harm But you seem to be alarmed Have you confused our situation Have you refused their medication Is the world dreaming of you Or are you dreaming of the world I can't explain What happens now I'll get to you Somehow The second verse involves a hearse An undertaker and a nurse But don't concern yourself with details They'll only drive you mad And you'll begin to think in circles Contemplating what you don't know and connecting all the dots though Erasing all emotion I believe it's all a motion Or a vibration unheard of Have I mentioned or invited you to my vast imagination Please allow me to explain I'm just enamored with the rain Didn't mean to cause you harm But you seem to be alarmed Have you confused our situation Have you refused their medication Is the world dreaming of you Or are you dreaming of the world I can't explain I don't know how I'll get to you What happens now I can't explain What happens now I'll get to you Somehow
13.
I look around but it's nothing new Same old story a different tune I'm living my life the best I'm able Laying my cards on the table I am just a fool Searching for the world Wont you come out tonight It seems as though I've just begun 27 times around the sun I've seen your empress and her kingdom She won't stop until she's done She is just a fool Searching for the world Wont you come out tonight We were lovers in the rain Rode a chariot to a new plane The days grew long but we grew stronger Until we die we're left to wander And I am just a fool Searching for the world Wont you come out tonight The stars are out the moon is shining Tomorrow's sun is surely rising The day of judgment has begun Will we see that we're all one I am just a fool Searching for the world Wont you come out tonight Wont you come out tonight
14.
Sitting, waiting, hoping for you But I'm on my own now On the west edge of town Is it too late to come home Is the love we had all gone Is it too late to come home baby? Put that needle to the groove And we're on our way now We've got nothing to lose no how Is it too late to come home Is the love we had all gone Is it too late to come home baby? Sitting, talking 'bout the way things were And I'm crying my eyes out I don't know when I'm going to let you down Is it too late to come home Is the love we had all gone Is it too late to come home baby?
15.
Lack of sleep in a cluttered room And I wanted it to stop Wandering through these wasted days And I guess that I'll be back again When all is through And I will be here when it's done Right next to you Drunk again in a quiet room And the spinning it won't stop Get me off please get me off of this ride And I guess that I'll be back again When all is through And I'll be here when it is all done Right next to you -- Oh wait - I can slide I will shake down the tide Wanting peace Wanting peace and meaning
16.
Everything's on cue Has it's time and place Nothing is left to chance or fate Spinning the wheel Of your own true will Everyone's got a story to tell Everyone's got a song to sing my dear Whisper sweet changes in my ear Below and above my one true love Everyone's got a burden to bare Am I a fool to believe this world is a dream You say you don't believe in anything Spinning the wheel Of your own true will Everyone's got a demon to kill C'est bien, C'est bien Ça me plaît, Ça me plaît, C'est bien, C'est bien Au revoir Bonne nuit

about

Inaiah Lujan Pueblo, Colorado

"Whether laying down some succulent psychotropic hip-hop as DJ Flow Nase, feeding off of severely distorted barre chords with the riff-heavy punk band A Poor Substitute, or lending distinctive vocal abilities to the peculiar and hypnotic "funeral pop" band The Mexican, Pueblo's Inaiah Lujan is plainly a restless soul."

-Adam Leech, The Independent
