Sleepy Baby
03:00
|
|||
Sleepy eyes and sleepy hair but the sun is high: life’s just not fair.
Get out and show them what you’re worth.
No one ever asked for this, but there’ve been those who’ve gone and kissed the lips of death
And said “that’s just fine I think I’ll hang around”
Sometime’s you gotta look at the fact that you’re still alive, after all that.
No one ever said, that it’s fair to get a perfect life, free from pain.
Because, you know what they say:
Kiss me on the lips, soft and sweet.
Kiss between my hips and stay with me.
Don’t you ever wish someone would go as deep as your pain does?
Because that kind of love is what I want to give you.
Oh what I want to give you.
Baby hang around.
Baby stay in town,
Maybe stay the night.

Petty Sin
03:40
|
|||
Don’t let me down
For I am lost not found
But can you find me?
Ignite me?
You’ll lift me up
And steal my love
To keep you running
You bitter clockwork man
Push me off
Let me fall
Hold me close
Take me whole
Push me off
Cut my wings
Let me crash
With my dreams
I need something different
Something sharp, something bitter
Some leather to bite on
Cause god knows I’m a sinner
Tie my hands
Climb inside
Get lost in me
While i get lost in your eyes
Hold me down
And part my lips
Drain my body
Of these petty sins
Don’t let me down
For I am lost not found
But can you find me?
Ignite me?
Steal my heart
Rip it from my ribs
Crush it slowly
With your every kiss
Don’t let me down.

Down by the River
01:55
|
|||
Down by the river you wash me away.
And I’m leaving for a new path; I hope you find your way.
But don’t call on me the sunshine of our loving days past,
And don’t tell me that you wish those days had never passed.
Starlight breaks all over your face,
And your withered fingers can barely hold my weight.
But you tell me you’ll love me forever my dear.
Oh, don’t you wait: I’m here
I fade into the sunset that makes your worried mess
So you carry me meticulously from your broken nest.
And I know that you struggle with seeing the light.
Oh, just keep up your fight.

With your toes in the sand on the beach on the beach
What will be washed away what will she let you keep?
Take a deep breath child and just let her weave:
Mama is a keeper of our dreams.
All will be well, rest your head;
She is the Weaver we are the threads .
All will be well, just relax,
Rest your head in Mama’s lap.

Just This Once
02:51
|
|||
Just this once, let me know before you
Just this once before you go
Everyone just wants to slip away into the night
Look how quick they just give up without a fight
I tried to warn you but you didn’t want to hear
I tried to warn you babe, I made it crystal clear
Of course I’d get attached to
Another fucked up mess
Of course I’d get attached to you
And baby more is less:
The less I hear about the more I need to know,
Just this once before you go.
Same game, same story, it’s the same thing getting boring.
Hey babe, why dontcha show me why everybody leaves before they get to know me.
Did I sing too loudly? Was my light too dim?
Aren't you satisfied with who I am?
Did I sing too loudly? Did I make you cry?
Did I scare the life right back into your eyes?
Did I sing too loudly? Did I represent
Monster hiding underneath your bed?
Baby won't you tell me, just this once
What's it take to make a sad kid love?
Just this once before you go?

Way Too High
05:15
|
|||
I’m really high, up in the sky
I’m on my own: me myself and I;
Except for three soft little clouds,
I don’t know why, and I don’t know how.
I like to think that since I’m here
It probably means I’m above my fears;
And since the rain falls down below me
I think my pain can't get me here.
I’m way too high up in the sky.
I hold my breath and shut my eyes.
I’m losing touch; I need your love;
Or better yet, just cut me off.
I’m so cold and the winds like a 100 miles per hour
And I can't believe just last week I bought you flowers
I’m way too high up in the sky; I’m all alone; I want to die.
I’m way too high. I’m way too high (o-h wo-ah)
Fuck you for taking my life, I gave you no right; who gave the right?
Fuck you for taking my mind, I thought that I’d lost it, but I guess now I find
You just took it, right out of my life; like yourself.
Fuck you fuck you for taking my mind and my peace and my will to not die
Fuck you fuck you right out of my life and I want you to die
Fuck you fuck you i hope that’s alright
Fuck you for telling me lies fuck you it’s really not right to say
That you love someone if you just want to hurt them, you just wanted to hurt me didn’t you
That kinda fucked up.
Fuck you fuck you for taking my mind and my will to survive I hope you die
Fuck you fuck you I that's alright
I’m way too high up in the sky
You put me here and now I want to die
I’ll hold my breath and close my eyes
It doesn’t help: the fears already inside
I’m way too high I’m way too high
Fuck you for taking my life
I’m way too high

I'm Not Well
04:35
|
|||
Maybe it was the lack of air in my lungs
Maybe it was you or the cat with tongue
Either way I'm not well, I'm not well.
I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well
Take me down to the river
Hold me underneath
Take me down to the river
Hold me down so I can't breathe
Maybe it was the movies, maybe it was the smokes
Maybe I did this all on my own
I don't know but I'm not well, I'm not well
I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well
Put my body in the sun
Watch it strip me to my bones
Put my body in the sun
Make me clean, make me pure, make me whole
Cause I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well
I'm a runaway, I'm a loser babe
I think should just give up
I'm a runaway, I'm gonna stay this way
Eternally fucked up
I'm a runaway, I'm a loser babe
I think should just give up
I'm a runaway, I'm gonna stay this way
Eternally fucked up
Maybe it was the city, maybe I needed fresh air
Or maybe the issues have always been there
I don't care I'm not well, I'm not well
No I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well
Take me up to the mountain
Hold my hand by the cliff
Maybe we'll go down together
Or maybe I'll just drift
Cause I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well
I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well
I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well
I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well
I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well
I'm not well, I'm not well, I'm not well

One Step
04:28
|
|||
Bless your soul, you meant no harm.
What’re you doing out in the dark, it’s cold?
Little girl let yourself out
Get as far from this crowd as you can.
One step, then the next: it’s all we can do to keep our heads.
One step, then the next: we’ll get there someday; it’s just the right then the left.
Angel face, big brown eyes,
The prettiest people tell the ugliest lies, I swear.
Lace up your boots, open your eyes,
Watch your step and shoot the bad guys...on film.
One step, then the next: it’s all we can do to keep our heads.
One step, then the next: we’ll get there someday; it’s just the right then the left.
One step, then the next: it’s all we can do to keep our heads.
One step, then the next: we’ll get there someday; it’s just the right then the left.

Fools
03:14
|
|||
There is blood under my nails,
Seems this fight for Heaven's staged in Hell.
But you fools,
Look what we've been given!
Oh, you fools,
Don't leave it all behind!
To many sleepless nights
Have left bruises on my eyes,
But I'm no fool:
I still see what I've been missin'
Well, I'm no fool,
But I'm slipping past the line.
We'll pick it up where we left off;
We can't give up cause we've been thrown off.
You've got it in you like we all do.
Oh you fool,
Don't you see what you've been given?
There may be poison on our tongues
And dust is filling up our lungs,
But we're not fools:
We will take what we've been given.
But we're not fools,
We will take what we were born with.
We were born for this.

Mid December
03:30
|
|||
Mid December; quiet weather;
Your body pressed up against mine.
Frost is creepin, and my hand keeps reachin
Out for yours, every time.
I’m falling, won’t you hold me down,
How else is true love supposed to be found?
I’m falling, I’ve hit the ground;
My heart is beating obscenely loud.
Sky is empty; lights are dim;
It’s so holy to have sinned
I love you dearly, I love you whole
I love you sweetheart, let’s just go home.
I’m falling, won’t you hold me down,
It’s so damn empty: just me and this cold house.
I’m falling, I’ve hit the ground;
All I want is to be found, to be found.
Boy don’t you know, I’m nothing without you.
You’re the string and I’m the flighty balloon.
Boy you know you’re the one who makes me smile
The way you light me up makes this shit worthwhile.
Boy don’t you know, I’m nothing without you.
You’re the string and I’m the flighty balloon.

Broken Heaven
04:43
|
|||
Letting go of this last morning glow,
While your childlike voices try to wake you from this mess.
Darling, darling,
I just wanted you to see
That I feel the same pain;
And just when you say
I feel, I feel the same way.
I always wanted
You to see me
In a new light, and maybe tonight
As I hold you tight you will find:
It takes more than one to fight,
And one to find the path out of this forest you’ve been trapped in.
And I want
You to be,
To be free,
To call out.
Let’s just scream loud,
Let’s just let it be heard
That we are not allowed
And we are hurt, we are hurt
And we fall, and we will burn
But in eachother's arms
Eachother’s hearts, in eachother’s hearts.
As we crumble to the ground
Let it be found
That this earth
Has birthed
The best around.
And all it knows
Is to break and fall
And to burn.
And then like the earth has always been
Some broken kind of heaven.
And it kills to stay alive,
But burns to keep our fires going;
It spews all of it’s knowin words
to keep you alive,
To keep us from the fire.
It has sheltered you
But you never knew
And it heard you call your name,
And burned to see your flame
Fear not the passing days
Don't be afraid to change

Days are getting colder
It's Friday afternoon
I lay my head upon your shoulder
I best be going soon
Autumn, and cafés and clichés
I want to love you
But your heart is papier mâché
It's papier mâché
You walk me down the avenue and call me Pretty Thing
You watch me and you learn as you listen to me sing
You watch me as I'm dancing, dancing away from you
Watch me as I'm dancing and tearing your heart in two
You'll be my stray cat and I'll be your baby doll
'til I grow tired and throw you out into the cold
You'll be my stray cat and I'll be your baby doll
Oh I, till I throw you into the cold
Autumn, and cafés and clichés
I want to love you,
Yeah I want to touch you
But my fingers are razor blades,
They're razor blades.
You'll watch me dancing,
Dancing away from you
Watch me as I'm dancing
And tearing your heart in two
You'll be my stray cat and I'll be your baby doll
'til I grow tired and throw you out into the cold
And I want to catch you but I'd only worsen the fall
//People are crashing and hungry. Its dark and we all want love so we fumble around looking for the light switch. I don't want to hurt you like this. I just want to feel something. We are destined to end badly (puzzle pieces that don't fit) but the shape of being held will stave off the loneliness for now//
Days are getting colder.
It's Friday afternoon.
I take my head off of your shoulder;
I best be going soon.
