I Bruise
02:04

you can beat me if
it makes you realize you love me too
i expose my heart to you
like an open wound
hold me til i'm blue
i bruise for you
now my hands are tied
my tongue is twisted and my eyes are blind
am i dumb or am i confused?
am i in love with you?
hold me til i'm blue
i bleed for you
you possess my time
it's a hijacking that i abide
put my lip in between your teeth
now see them through
hold me til i'm blue
i bruise for you
hold me til i'm blue
i die for you

Call of a Bird
02:16

i lose control
under her control
it's a loss i call a win
a simple plan
to obey commands
toss my free will to the wind
now i surrender to the call
of a bird
relinquishing the pride of my own life
all for her
i leave behind
my former life
of thinking i was always right
abandon thinking
anything at all
it just complicates the night
now i surrender to the call
of a bird
relinquishing the pride of my own life
all for her
tell me when
tell me when
tell me when i can breathe, when i can arrive
the fleeting bliss
of my own decisions
has lost its shine and charm
after all
i found that my own calls
have done me nothing but cause harm
so with a smile
and a tarnished file
i no longer use my brain
a blank slate
with a joyous gaze
i wave the white flag in her name
now i surrender to the call
of a bird
relinquishing the pride of my own life
all for her

True Heart Queen
04:24
|

|
she only sleeps
one day a week
even then she hears everything
when she wakes she's still in a dream
her given name
was given away
only heard whispered through the trees
remembered by her family
her love it burns like the sun
her eyes they glow like the moon
her truth is fact
her joy is pain
she is the living true heart queen
she speaks her mind
to all mankind
never once has bitten her tongue
justified with every thought
pity to the one who experiences her wrath
her love it burns like the sun
her eyes they glow like the moon
her truth is fact
her joy is pain
she is the living true heart queen
i hear the song sparrow sing
i see the sparrow take wing
my vision lingers as she's gone
through a thickening fog
she only sleeps
one day a week
even then she hears everything
when she wakes she's still in a dream
her love it burns like the sun
her eyes they glow like the moon
her truth is fact
her joy is pain
she is the living true heart queen

The Clothes I'm Used To
02:32
|

i used to walk on solid ground
was a steady, solid turf
that was back when i wore shoes
that were meant to walk the earth
now i'm falling over backwards
falling on my face
falling for every line
that comes with a price to pay
it's becoming
increasingly rare
the clothes i'm used to are
the clothes that i wear
i used to wear my father's jacket
kept me warm, kept me proud
kept the winter off my back
kept the danger kept out
then i burned it in the backyard
when i found out who he was
my new coat's a reminder to
forget where i'm from
it's becoming
increasingly rare
the clothes i'm used to are
the clothes that i wear
shed my skin
from my bones
it is just
another dressing for my soul
to give up
i used to only have a future
then i went and got a past
now it tries to anchor me with
a million gray hands
they grab my shirt by the collar
the collar grabs me by the throat
i come to in a different world
where there's nothing that i know

Symbiotic
01:44
|
|||
|
hold me closer still
i need to get my fill
we love to fill each other in
first thing in the day
or as the night time fades
your touch invades my every whim
i give
you take
you give
i take
it's a symbiotic love
we're designed to never get enough
weightlessly i rise
to this lucid high
but this life demands that i come down
now i'm underground
singing my heart out
left to write my loving down
i give
you take
you give
i take
it's a symbiotic love
we're designed to never get enough

Replaced
03:04
|
|||
|
behind familiar eyes there's something wrong
the voice it sounds correct but not the song
like a variation on a theme i know so well
something's off and alien but what i can't tell
i'd swear that you've been replaced
your lips are robbed of passion your touch is cold
you only seem to sleep the times that you're home
i suppose it's a phase and we'll turn out ok - we always have
but your newly found indifference is enough to drive me mad
i'd swear that you've been replaced
i woke up after a day or was it a year
my memories keep becoming more unclear
and the things i swore i knew and stood for disappeared
and i never, never, never feel like i'm really here
if i'd been replaced would i know?

i was once in solitude
masquerading as fine
concocting a simple life
where no risk would meet my eye
i would sidestep any path
that might cause me to turn
circumvent any situation
that threatened to disturb
come and sway me with your love
then you barrelled ballistically
with unrelenting truth
into my secluded life and demanded my truth too
i complied as best i could
to reciprocate
but i fear being my own self
so i got in my own way
come and sway me with your love
still you stayed even after i
dismantled my own name
compulsive self destructive
i constructed my own pain
i asked you why you stuck around
even after i was wrong
you said that love was worth the price
of being hurt to show you're strong
come and sway me with your love
seven months and a million words
have passed since we have met
and every day is an equal mix
of relaxed and of intense
i can sleep like the living dead
knowing that you're by my side
when i wake and i see you there
i'm taken with joy and pride
come and sway me with your love
there are times the transparency
drives terror to my core
knowing that just one wrong word
can drive you to the door
you assure you've never been more sure
and i can put these thoughts to bed
cause we have love and when all else fails
love will be all that is left
