"Telluric" (2016)




Belly Side Up lyrics - Matt Corby

We are the fixture of industry
So then why go all undecided holding me?
I had to call up enlighten me
Up onto the way I saw the issues of dependency

I have been torn up with the right to be
And I'm hoping for the day you won't go belly side up on me

Stood in the corner when we would fight
To act upon a line and hang my shit up out to dry
And so it's over and you're mind's becoming open
I wait with you medicine until you come on over

I have been torn up with the right to be
And I'm hoping for the day you won't go belly side up on me

You, you don't speak the truth
How about the times you called me up and said we're through
You, you don't speak the truth
How about the times you called me up and said we're through

I have been torn up with the right to be
And I'm hoping for the day you don't go belly side up on me

Monday lyrics - Matt Corby

All day blazed I wonder
If through grace I find the new high I wanted
Could it be you?

No bible no more,
I don't know faith like I did before
I gave it enough
I saw the fallen white doors
Oh, I stumbled too and get it wrong
When it's said and gone
I'd wait with you,
Fading out to silence

Blame it on your rage and somber nature
If the violent conversation gets the best of you
And over graves we'll all get laid and from the babies
Some will teach us what the hell our souls were born to do!

Oh, I was never lost, I only chose to never go home [4x]

Knife Edge lyrics - Matt Corby


And it's a combination of reality and my imagination
Can I tolerate my anxiety for the moment
I get angry at myself for trying to impress you
Can I rectify my embarrassment on the subject

Always on the knife's edge here with you
We're faded out of view
You know my worry only comes from wanting more for you
I get low with you
I hate it when we're blue
You know my worry only comes from fear of what I'd lose

I just really wanted to feel accepted
I just really wanted to feel connected
Ah, I'm selfish, self-centered and a little bit narcissistic
To be ever grateful with the end characteristic

Always on the knife's edge here with you
We're faded out of view
You know my worry only comes from wanting more for you
I get low with you
I hate it when we're blue
You know my worry only comes from fear of what I do

I love that I can say I wouldn't feel this way without ya
I love that I can say I wouldn't be this way without you

I'm willing to get better from no disease at all
I'm evicted and conflicted at my very core
The love is loving on and on and on
Achievable intellectual and emotionally viable

Always on the knife's edge here with you
We're faded out of view
You know my worry only comes from wanting more for you
I get low with you
I hate it when we're through
You know my worry only comes from fear of what I do

I love that I can say I wouldn't feel this way without ya
I love that I can say I wouldn't be this way without you

Oh Oh Oh lyrics - Matt Corby

All the tears, they taste of salt and yesterday we had to talk
I wonder know how you stayed around
I guess it's now
Well I guess it's now

That's just how we break
I underestimate the damage that I've made with you

All my fears, they're all my fault
You drove away I guess I'll walk
I don't know how you stayed around
I guess it's now
Well I guess it's now

That's just how we learn to try to discern before every twist and turn with you

Assume I'll hold it down
You thought you'd finally reach out of the rabbit hole
But I'm free from all I know
I assumed that day I'd be there with you

That's just how we break
I underestimate the damage that I've made with you

That's just how we learn to try to discern before every twist and turn with you

Wrong Man lyrics - Matt Corby


You know you're talking to the wrong man, my friend
I was on the fence
Wasting time in future tense
And all I came here for was finding love to help me understand my own
It's undefendable

And now you wanna tell me you're devoted
All the while you told me you don't know
And now you wanna come and sell me what I already own
And now you're trying to teach me what I already know

You know you're talking to the wrong man, my friend
When they bleed you out
I won't blame you now
And all I came here for was finding love to help me understand my own
Right, wrong or legal

And all the greatest hands that I would hold in mine
All the times I had to let them go
And now they wanna come and sell you what you already own
And now they're trying to teach you what you already know

You know you're talking to the wrong man, my friend
I'll still make amends
Gaining time in present tense
And all I came here for was finding love to help me understand my home
And redefine it all

So the air I'll breathe in to drown in the sea
I've been beat up and did you know
You said you'd know
I get a little bit chewed up
I wouldn't if I had known
And seeing some part of you hopeful
I know and I know you don't
See, I'm busy easy falling down degrees
I know you won't count on me yeah
And the truth never bothers me
I know and I know you don't
You're celebrated for your time awake
I know you won't be sleeping high

You know you're talking to the wrong man, my friend
When they bleed you out
I won't blame you now
And all I came here for was finding love to help me understand my own
Right, wrong or legal

Sooth Lady Wine lyrics - Matt Corby

You sold me out to the man (to the man, to the man)
With the nuclear plan in his hands
But he don't understand
The free world, and it's demand

Oh we'll oh
Get together
Get to the seventh state
With you; want tomorrow's ideas
I wanna tell you're fine to care
Somnolence
I'm bound to you all day

You sold me out to the man (to the man, to the man)
With the nuclear plan in his hands
But he don't understand
The free world, and it's demand

If you feel alright
Let yourself dance
Don't sit out tonight
If you feel the right
Get off your phone
Drink it in tonight
If you see the light
Don't turn away
It's reality
With no fear inside
We can begin to feel the happiness
Sooth lady wine
Reconcile
Not in the way that I know you might
One new battle two new battle
Try for something new
I want it so long to write it down
For no one to decode

If you feel alright
Let yourself dance
Don't sit out tonight
If you feel alright
Get off your phone
Take it in tonight
If you see the light
Don't turn away
It's reality
With no fear inside
We can begin to feel the happiness...

Do You No Harm lyrics - Matt Corby

I won't do you no harm, do you no harm
I won't let them do you no harm, do you no harm
The markings won't do you no harm
Your bruises won't do you no harm

I'm sick and tired got to get out and touch the morning dawn
Let me back down and assume what I got left to say
I'm too tired but I've barely even waiting long
I'm too down to be driving in the evening

I won't do you no harm, do you no harm
I won't let them do you no harm, do you no harm
The markings won't do you no harm
Your bruises won't do you no harm

I'm sick and tired got to get out and touch the morning dawn
Let me back down and assume what I got left to say
I'm too tired but I've barely even waiting long
I'm too down to be driving in the evening

I got this feeling that we're tied up
Do you feel like we're all weird up
You only take from me
You won't just wait with me

I got this feeling that we're tied up
Do you feel like we're all wired up
You won't embrace me
You won't escape with me

We Could Be Friends lyrics - Matt Corby

Oh I was in the basin
Crawling knees and slow time
I was so adamant to shake you
For the freedom I sought
Oh I was never mindful that you had done time

You can fight but eventually you will learn what we do,
Oh don't you know, or could it be
That we could be friends
We could be friends
We could be friends
We'll see the end of it
I gotta give you a chance to trust me

So we'll know how to be
When everything ends
Everything ends
Everything ends
So I depend on you to be here with me

Everybody wants to say that dying's alright
Every baby's born with no fear
Until the day they become a liar

You can fight but eventually you will learn what we do,
Oh don't you know, or could it be
That we could be friends
We could be friends
We could be friends
We'll see the end of it
I gotta give you a chance to trust me

So we'll know how to be
When everything ends
Everything ends
Everything ends
So I depend on you to be here with me

Emphatic, erratic, automatic, do-gooder cash cows
I can safely say I'm no better
Or no worse now
I'm too idealistic to ever meet my expectations
I'm a child star contestant on a show too overrated

Why Dream lyrics - Matt Corby

You're drinking, you're worn out
You're way too good at getting what you want
And I long for most to unleash you
A world at home, just for diamonds on your coffin
And I know its wrong, but I want it
Just to be like you, but you talk too much to listen
and I want you more, and we are meant to be broken
and I forgive warmly, when you've got a change of heart

Oh why dream at all tonight
if you're keeping all the fear inside
look into the bright screen
that shows you all the places you dream to be
oh just open up your eyes
and celebrate how high we get to be no lies and no hate
finally you owe it to yourself

and I wait home, cause I cannot wait to live with you
but I wont bother you, if you're worn out
so give it back to me way too honest
we are dividing everything among the few
and I judge you warmly, blame it on the change of heart

Oh why dream at all tonight
if you're keeping all the fear inside
look into the bright screen
that shows you all the places you dream to be
oh just open up your eyes
and celebrate how high we get to be no lies and no hate
finally you owe it to yourself

oh oh oh
Oh why dream at all tonight
if you're keeping all the fear inside
if you're keeping all the fear inside

Good To Be Alone lyrics - Matt Corby

In the back of my mind
Everything seems fine
You go your way I go mine
We just need to take our time

It is good... To be alone

And I was lost in the dark
We all had to play our part
I was hunted by the one
The one that froze my heart

It is good... To be alone
It is good... To be alone

I keep telling myself
It's gonna be better
I keep telling myself
It's gonna be better
It's gonna be better

It is good... To be alone
It is good... To be alone

Empires Attraction lyrics - Matt Corby

No one's going to save us
Superman please save us
No one's going to save us

No one's going to save us
Superman please save us
Hollywood creators, they're the one who take us
Someone's trying to trade us
And we are all in danger

We're made up in the paper
Everybody knows that
Everybody knows that
No one's going to save you

Prince is going to save you
Wu-tang might just save you
Rock n roll won't stage us
The banks are going to frame us
We must be courageous
We are going to save us
Your mama's going to save us
How can they save you if they can't help themselves?
How can they save you if they can't help themselves?

Someone's trying to shame us
Making it contagious
The blueprints of salvation from idle corporations
The empires attractions are getting no reactions
And gives no satisfaction

Something's got to shape us
Boredom's going to shape us
Something's got to shake us out of this and save us

How can they save you if they can't help themselves?
How can they save you if they can't help themselves?
How can they save you if they can't help themselves?
How can they save you if they can't help themselves?

EP: "Resolution" (2013)

Resolution lyrics - Matt Corby

I’m giving up
This whole lie, this whole me
Call it out like a family
Instead I bide my time, get a ride
Until the rubber leaves the road

You said don’t lie so I made the truth
Seemed like a lie to even you
Control your fear. It's clear
That you do not know where you're going to

So, don’t you worry
You'll be my resolution
Characters of no illusion
You'll be my resolution

One month down and it’s in sight
oh, I’m guaranteed to lose my mind
It's dangerous to speak and sigh
You might know what I’m trying to hide

So from the cradle to quarter age
oh, I bought the book but didn’t flip the page
oh, readiness is near. We steer
As far away from the coming of days

So, don’t you worry
You'll be my resolution
Characters of no illusion
You'll be my resolution
Characters of no illusion
You'll be my resolution

Turn around, put it down and see
That this is really the place to be.
I’m not you, nor you me
But we’re both moving steady.

Lay You Down lyrics - Matt Corby

I thought I knew I'd find you
Right infront of my eyes
Oh, it's holdin me down
And oh it's holdin me down
To let you inside, now

It's calling out, it's calling me
And I follow the hour
And I will love your way
And I love your way
To let you inside, now

And all along the way
I'll find you, I'll find you
And all along the way
I'll find you, I'll find you
And all along the way
I'll find you, I'll find you and lay you down

Even though you can't touch me
I'm right there under your skin
And I've fallen in love before
But with no one with a name not anymore

And all along the way
All along the way
And all along the way
I'll find you, I'll find you
All along the way
I'll find you, I'll find you

And all along the way
I'll find you, I'll find you, down

And all along the way
I'll find you, I'll find you
And all along the way
I'll find you, I'll find you
And all along the way
I'll find you, I'll find you
And all along the way
I'll find you, I'll find you

Evangelist lyrics - Matt Corby

There's a cold, cold, trickle down my spine
The white writer gonna tell you what's not mine
Oh I hope I see you passing by my door
Oh I hope I won't see you anymore.

Oh I know on the inside you're wondering why you fight
It seems that your restrained by devout belief that ruins your life
I won't listen to you won't you blow right past my door.
Oh I won't listen to you, blank the screen and I'll try to ignore you.

There's a white, light glimmer in my eye
And the light is refracting in my sight
Oh I Hope I see you passing by my door
I hope I don't see you anymore

Oh I know on the inside you're wondering why you fight
It seems that your restrained by devout belief that ruins your life
I won't listen to you won't you blow right past my door.
Oh I won't listen to you, blank the screen and I'll try to ignore you.

Is it strange to believe that the lukewarm pollution has seen revolution
Hard to reside & the fires steal the light and the spirits need reviving
Will to your father, he'll hold you through these treacherous times [?]

You should catch onto the rest

EP: "Into The Flame" (2011)

Brother lyrics - Matt Corby

Ooh ooh ooh...

Sleep now under my skin
Make sure you’ll try to
Conjure the wind
And ease my mind

Ooh ooh ooh...

Somebody call out to your brother
He’s calling out your name
Ooh ooh ooh
Hiding under the covers
With no one else to blame
Ooh ooh ooh
You couldn’t help out your own neighbor
You couldn’t tell it to his face
You were fucked up by the blame

You cower in the corner
Confide in your father
Let it out and say
Let it pass away

Sleep now under my skin
Make sure you try to
Conjure the wind
And ease my mind

And I said
Ooh ooh ooh...

Somebody call out to your brother
He’s calling out your name
Ooh ooh ooh
Hiding under the covers
With no one else to blame
Ooh ooh ooh
You couldn’t help out your own neighbor
You couldn’t tell it to his face
You were fucked up by the blame

You cower in the corner
Confide in your father
Let it out and say

You cower in the corner
Confide in your father
Let it break your day
Let it out and say

Wait there
Pull yourself out of this state dear
Acknowledge you were a fake here
From there on you might just grow
Oh oh oh

Somebody call out to your brother
He’s calling out your name
Ooh ooh ooh
Hiding under the covers
With no one else to blame
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh, you couldn’t help out your own neighbor
You couldn’t tell it to his face
You were fucked up by the blame

Souls A'fire lyrics - Matt Corby

Oh he got poison in his lungs
And it will become undone
Some sort of freak that feels no pain
Walk through fire like it feels like rain

So come on and hold on to that firm belief
That your soul is a'fire and forget your
Your petty crimes now
Hold firm as the raging sea beats at your door
Stay there till you can't you can't take no more now

And the cold sea running through your veins
You killed the bitter land to roll her away
Oh is this real or did you fabricate
Oh you cut the vine like it's the under dead

So make sure you hold on to that firm belief
That your soul is a'fire and forget your petty crimes (yeah)
Why don't you hold on as the sea beats down
And you're on the floor and you
Find it's so it's gon' crashing down

Somebody there will be a revolution yeah
Ooh
Somebody there will be a revolution yeah
Ooh
Somebody there will be a revolution
Ooh ahh yeah
Somebody there will be a revolution yeah
On yeah oh yeah
Some body there will be a revolution yeah
Yeah yeah
Somebody there will be a revolution yeah
Oh Yeah
Somebody there will be a revolution

Untitled lyrics - Matt Corby

So I threw your letter into the flame
And watched the fire regain
And these words have done nothing for you
As I did not read them through
Now turned to ash in the flume

And colours are dull
As the feeling of the cold
And memories fall
As the fire is getting old
Oh and I once more am now

Don't you fret I'll find my way
Carefully walking from the devil's plane
And I know why you did not follow me
Pride swallowed me then led me astray

And now the dark in me has now seen the day
Oh my chill has now lost its way
And these hands that once had helped me to pray
They are limp in utter dismay
Oh they, oh they fall in their disarray

And colours are dull
As the feeling of the cold
And memories fall
As the fire is getting old
Oh and I, I once more am now

Oh don't you fret I'll find my way
Carefully walking from the devil's plane
And I know why you did not follow me
Pride swallowed me then led me astray

Big Eyes lyrics - Matt Corby

Blackout the light
Maybe you're tired fall
Or stone cold

You fumble and fight
With all the time you spend alone

Cause it's only fair
It's love and war
And darkness is all you'll ever know
If I don't love you more

Keep in your cage
Withered by aging eyes and skin
You call this your home
A colourful dragging dried up drone

Cause it's only fair
It's love and war
And darkness is all you'll ever know
Oh darkness is all you'll ever know
Darkness is all you'll ever know
If I don't love you more

Loveless sorrow kindly borrowed
Only thing my soul's now hollow
Loveless sorrow kindly borrowed
Only thing my soul's now hollow

Cause it's only fair
It's love and war (ooh)
And darkness is all you'll ever know
If I don't love you more

Made Of Stone lyrics - Matt Corby

See I left my mothers heart
See I left my fathers home
And I fell into a well of hope

I'm carrying my heart but it's made of stone
I'm carrying my heart but my heart is made of stone

See I left my mothers heart
See I left my fathers home
And I fell into a well of hope

I'm carrying my heart but it's made of stone
I'm carrying my heart but my heart is made of stone
I'm carrying my heart but it's made of stone
oh I'm carrying my heart but my heart is made of stone

Oooh ohhwooahh oooooah aoowoahh
ooooohhh wooaahh ooooooohh oooooaahhh.........

Winter lyrics - Matt Corby

The winter is coming
Way too soon
Winter is coming
Way too soon

Oh winter is coming
Way too soon
Oh winter is coming
Way too soon

Oh summer we party
Way too soon
Oh summer we party, oh
Way too soon

Kings, Queens, Beggars And Thieves lyrics - Matt Corby

Dreams,
They keep me awake
Like this song,
That is stuck in my brain
And it goes
"Dum-da-dum, da-dum, da-da-da-da-dum, da-dum, da-dum,
da-dum, da-dum, dum, da-da-da, da-da-da-dum"

So I stood in the heated halls and I played for the King and the Queen
Oh I went out in the blistering cold and I played for the beggars and thieves
I saw the pain in their eyes fade away as they listened to me
Oh I will carry that weight back home

Dreams,
Oh listen to me
I'm so tired of this place
And I wanna be free
And they say
"Oh don't you get it, You're never,
You're never going back home"
And they say
"Oh don't you get it,
There is more to life, there is more to life than I know"

Cause I stood in the heated halls and I played for the King and the Queen
Oh I went out in the blistering cold and I played for the beggars and thieves
I saw the pain in their eyes fade away, as they listened to me
Oh I will carry that weight
Oh I will carry that weight back home

EP: "Song For..." (2009)

Letters lyrics - Matt Corby

Love is like a letter wrote
And life is like an envelope
You can choose who you give it to
But you can't choose who will give it to you

And you simply can't write back to everyone
Cause that would leave you so confused and harshly judged

And all of my dreams are in your hands
You hold all of my dreams and know my plans

So why don't you send me on my way

Love is like a letter wrote
And life is like an envelope
Be careful who you give it to
They might not give it back to you

And if everyone wrote back to everyone
The trees would disappear with our oxygen

And all of my dreams are in your hands
You know all of my strengths and weaknesses

So why don't you send me on my way
So why don't you send me on my way
So why don't you send me on my way

Take All Of Me lyrics - Matt Corby

Take what's left of me
Put it in your box of tricks
And hide it so far away

Stop this gray charade
Keep the cards in closer
I can see all
The mess you make

Why did you come here
And if you leave here
It wont be hard
Why did you come here
And if you leave here
You wont be alone

Is this the place
That I can't escape
No it wasn't really
Meant for me

Take your firey tongue
And your circus clothes
And get out
While you can

If, I hang around
Keep and eye on the
Low down dirty dogs
The dusty road

Why did I come here
Fall asleep here
Hypnotized by your charm
Why did I come here
And will I leave here
Forsaker of my own

Is this the place
That I cant escape
No it wasn't really
Meant for me

Hold on
I'm back here again
The fire's 'round my neck
It's burning me to death
Hold on
I'm back here again
The fire's 'round my neck
It's burning me to death

Oh just leave me here

Songbird lyrics - Matt Corby

I went down to the water
And looked past the the breakers
And something in the sky told me
It'd never be the same

I look to my sister
Saying, "What have I done?
I've made a mess of this
Song that I've sung"

Now everyone's trying to tell me
How it's supposed to feel
They nod like I'm a child
But they don't even hear me

Oh I will wait for my little songbird
But it's not the right time
So I'll fly out on my own
So if you see my little songbird
Can you tell her I'll wait here
Down by the shoreline

The words of the Father
They ring in my ear
Go and find you a love
And live out all of your fears

And they say if you're looking
Well, you'll get what you come for
And everyone has their own price to pay

Oh, I don't really know what to believe
Oh I'll call out to the world,
"Hello, can you hear me?"

Oh I will wait for my little songbird
But it's not the right time
So I'll fly out on my own
So if you see my little songbird
Can you tell her I'll wait here
Down by the shoreline

Ooooooohhh

Oh I will wait for my little songbird
But it's not the right time
So I'll fly out on my own
So if you see my little songbird
Can you tell her I'll wait here
Down by the shoreline

Song For... lyrics - Matt Corby

A million prayers went up to heaven
They went for nothing
A million pleas came back down
They said "stop asking"

So much blood on my hands..
So much blood on my hands..

The angels cried "we can do nothing"
Our hearts were sunken
Cause the focus of our prayers
Was fraudulent yet wary
That the lords wrath would come

So much blood on my hands
So much blood on my hands

So much blood on my hands (I'm so lost)
So much blood on my hands (I'm so lost)
