Peaks - Speak

That’s as high as it goes

That’s as loud as it gets

Take a minute to breathe

Smoke your first cigarette

Scream as loud as you want

Scream as loud as you need

That’s what the 90's were for

May they never recede

You could take me with you

I could take you with me

Though we’re better off here

I mean ultimately

We don’t need cheering up

We don’t need any more

We don’t need what we want

That’s what the 80's were for

If you think you’re alive

If you think you’re a man

You were already dead

Oh before it began

Searching for rock

In a pile of sand

All the kind that you want

‘Till it’s all in your hands

I know, I know it’s not the easiest thing

To decide to let the easy things go

Cause it’s hard enough without

Another sign that you’ve slowed down

An emotion is a terrible thing

But emotion is a terrible thing to waste

I’ve been over it again and again

And the only thing I’m over’s the time it takes

Any motion is a hell of a thing

Knowing emotion is a hell of a thing to face

You can do it with your back on the wall

But the oldest ones are always the backs that break

And if you fight with fire

If you wrestle to sleep

May the wrestling end

Now you find what you need

And you fill it with lead

And it fills you with ink

Always less than you want

Always more than you think

You know, you know it’s not the easiest thing

To decide to keep the easy things close

Cause it’s hard enough without

An open mind to weigh you down

And emotion is a terrible thing

Any motion is a terrible thing

And emotion is a terrible thing
