Tell Me How
02:57
|

tomorrow's always hungry
a void of no one knows
yesterday's a mine field
of all the should have dones
tell me how
you're so well dressed
tell me how
you're not a mess
hair is turning white
or falling on the floor
while the world is getting warmer
under threat of nuclear war
tell me how
you're so well dressed
tell me how
you're not a mess
everyone you care for
you'll watch dying or die
unless you perish first
leave them miserable and crying
and when your number's up
there's nothing left in store
no afterlife, no resurrection
just nothing forever more
tell me how
you're so well dressed
tell me how
you're not a mess

What's Ours is Ours
02:52
|

show me everything
that you have to show
i'll write you a book
of everything i know
the dedication reads
'to you, half of us all'
the epilogue is blank
a mystery we'll solve
what's yours is mine
what's mine is yours
what's ours is ours
even when it starts to hurt
there are certain things
i swore i'd never say
even if that meant
putting scars on my brain
but medicine don't work
if you don't let it in
so i open up my insides
let the healing begin
what's yours is mine
what's mine is yours
what's ours is ours
even when it starts to hurt
tell me now - everything you've done
tell me now - what fears you've overcome this year
tell me now - anything that comes to mind
i'll hear
i'm here for you

My Delicate Bird
03:22
|
|||
hold you closest
when it's midnight
when the sun has
forgot us
blue waves abduct your posture
and you're unsure
what to trust
you can trust
that i love you
my delicate bird
dawn swears
it's arrival daily
but the clouds
cast question
light leaks that's grim and opaque
casting gray on
every hue
don't let that color you
my delicate bird
if you're
beside yourself
i'll be beside you too
if there's a saving grace
i'll save some grace for you
you'll never have to
be alone

Always, Always
03:38
|
|||
you're the only CD that i'll play
put you on repeat
til i know your every note
i don't mind the scratches on your back
we all have cuts and scars
and my heart, it skips a beat
when your record skips a beat
if you're shaken up
always, always
everything for you
you're the tape stuck in my VCR
i've seen a million times
still i'm happy to rewind
you're the only book i've ever read
i've dog-earred every page
because there's not one wasted word
no conjunction, no adverb
it's all paramount
always, always
everything for you
i've heard there's other books and movies out there
i heard i might like them very much
but they don't know the first thing about you
they won't do
it's you
i want
i need
always
it's you
i want
i need

The Doctor
02:53
|
|||
if you're leaving
don't say goodbye
say until we meet again
and it's okay
you keep changing
just don't forget who you were
without witness
without reward
without hope to keep you company
you stumble forward
you change your face
because you never learned to stop
though i'm crying
i force a smile
putting on my bravest face
it is like i'm
malfunctioning
at least that's what i think you'd say

if influence pulls me under
i might die
or worse than that i'll turn into a prick
and survive
i'm burning daylight at night
killing the moments before they are born to strike
don't resurrect an echo of my last life
i'm counting tiles on floors
keeping myself mundane keeps the wolf kept at the door
his lunar lupine visits can't go on no more
if influence pulls me under
i might die
or worse than that i'll turn into a prick
and survive
i'm pushing daisies tonight
there was burial held for my social life
i can't say i miss them all that much
i'm pacing circles downstairs
i've seen the minute hand move in reverse, i swear
i cannot tell if you don't believe or you don't care
if influence pulls me under
i might die
or worse than that i'll turn into a prick
and survive
one more night
one more night
one more night i made it through
one more night without you

Kill Them All
02:35
|
|||
don't let those spirits haunt you
those bodies have gone cold
forgive yourself my dear friend
incinerate those bones
kill them all
kill them all
vampires will feed upon you
when you invite them in
forever hungry for you
come night the come again
kill them all
kill them all
kill every evil thing
your demons chase everywhere
to mar your heart and soul
it's time to forgive yourself
you just gotta let it go
let it go
let it go
kill them all
kill them all
kill every evil thing

Time
02:44
|
|||
i pass
the time
one mistake
at a time
and here i stand
a scar stained boy of a man
time moves
ahead
it never stops
for rest
and it feeds
on death and indifference
i swear i hear it laugh
in the echoes of my past
i'm always
in its grasp
each move
i make
causes
the earth to quake
and cast doubt
on the plans i had mapped out
and i wonder
'have i done
anything i should have done
or was this
all wrong?'

Sanctuary Avenue
03:25
|
|||
i wonder where
your true thought blooms
how your lunar bruise
trips into a tune
with a simple call
you parachute us all
on sanctuary avenue
i cannot decode
your cool end
how you decide
which pain to extend
how you come alive
when you start to die
on sanctuary avenue
when you bark
you wail
you put your heart out there
in the open
to be torn apart
you play the fife
American
how often the wheel
turns with your hand
come shred
our deeds
into blood red
confetti
on sanctuary avenue
