beautiful_song_lyrics
peyton you're everywhere to me, and when I close my eyes, it's you I see

it must be your skin, I'm sinking in

no pain, no hurt, we'll go dreaming

the water's getting deep, I try to wash the pain away from me

I wash my skin with all the hate

so close to me, so close to hate

I don't know who you are, but you seem very nice, so will you talk to me

is anybody there, does anybody care

I see the bedroom door, I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice, she pulls her covers tighter, I press against the door

I am not concerned with the status of my emotions

she shouldn't need protection

wrap her up in a package of lies, send her off to a coconut island

we're always changing

people don't change

it's all or nothing

I am not overly concerned

I don't need a girl, don't need a friend, cause my friend lonesome is unconditional

these seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days, she says

I'm not gonna bend, and I'm not gonna break

rape me, my friend

seems like I should say, as long as this is love, but it's not all that easy

your stories ring of perjury, construed with self-empowering things

I think you like to be the victim, I think you love to be the clown

I can't be held responsible, and she was touching her face, and I won't be responsible, she fell in love in the first place

and every word is nonsense, but I understand it all

and Anna begins to fade away

the contrast of white on white

doesn't mean she's holy, it just means she's got a cellular handy

the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down

take my future, past, that's fine but now is mine

tonight I feel ambitious, and so does my foot, as it sinks on the pedal

I walked around my good intentions, and found that there were none

and when the sun descended and the night arose, I heard my father cursing everyone he knows, and he was dangerous and drunk and defeated and corroded by failure and envy and hate.. and there were endless winters and the dreams would freeze, nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees, and my fathers eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again.. I know I still believe he'd never let me leave, I had to run away alone, so many tasted fears, so many wasted years, until my life became my own.. and though the nightmare should be over, some of the terrors are still intact.. I'll hear that ugly coarse and iron voice, and then he'll grab me from behind and then he pulls me back

there was a beauty living on the edge of town, who always put the top up and the hammer down, and she taught me everything I'll ever know about the mystery and the muscle of love.. the stars would glimmer and the moon would glow, I'm in the backseat with my Julie like a Romeo.. those were the rites of spring and we did everything, there was salvation every night, we got our dreams reborn and our upholstry torn, but everything we tried was right.. she used my body just like a bandage, she used her body just like a wound, I know I'll never know where she disappeared but I can see her rising up out of the backseat now just like an angel rising up from a tomb

I need a phone call, I need a plane ride.. I need a raincoat

it's raining here in Baltimore, fifteen miles east, where you should be, no one's around

I believe

these trained conversatations are passing me by, and I don't have nothin to say

I had no intention of living this way

I belong in the service of the queen

I don't want to come back down from this cloud

and I walk my machine

I get no answers, I don't get no change, it's raining in Baltimore, but everything else is the same

the night is as empty for me, as for you

you're three thousand four hundred miles away, but what would you change if you could

maybe I should buy a new car

in the garage, where I feel safe, no one cares about my waste

I don't want equal rights, I want everything for free

I always know just where she sat, and when she's on me I get flat

she went to the back to get high, and I sat down on the couch and cried, oh my Lord, please help me

she sits alone by a lamppost, trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind

she never lets me in, only tells me where she's been, when she's had too much to drink

I say I don't care, I just run my hands through her dark hair

ya know she dances while his father plays guitar, she's suddenly beautiful, and we all want something beautiful, man I wish I was beautiful

I'm a stranger in this town

I long to see the sun, despite of what it's done, I pray for shade and rain, I pray to live again

Mr Jones and me, tell each other fairy tales

I pick up my smile, put it in my pocket, try not to have to drop it, men are not to cry, so how am I to stop it, keep it all inside, don't show how much she rocked ya

ooh it looks like rain again, I feel it coming in, and the mountains win again

I can't understand the ease she pulled away her hand

I guess from now on, I'll be careful what I share

at least they still have a certain table, where I once carved a particular name, I run my fingers over the weathered carving, and I almost can feel the same

and her lips always tasted of cinnamon, and her skin smelled of cider and rose

and when she looked at me we both got quiet, we were in so close

once upon a beautiful while, that still makes me smile

I'm not in love, so don't forget it

both of us never tiring, desperately wanting

for you I'd bleed myself dry

the smell of cheap wine, cigarettes, this place was always such a mess, sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

they said she died easy of a broken heart disease

it always seemed such a waste, she always had a pretty face, I wonder why she hung around this place

come on try a little, nothing is forever

rivers on fire, and no one can save me but you, strange what desire makes foolish people do

what a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way, what a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you

I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe, until you're resting here with me

oh, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise

it's just me and a gun, and a man on my back

you are pulled from the wreckage, of your silent reverie

you come out tonight, that's when the energy comes

I do believe I've failed you

what a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel, I'm cold and I'm ashamed lying naked on the floor

he showed me what it was to cry

you don't seem to know, seem to care, what your heart is for.. I don't know him anymore

that's what's going on

and I walk this earth alone, it's all I've ever known

you were meant for me, and I was meant for you

I.. I don't want to say.. I don't want to find another way, to make it through the day without you

lost in a snow filled sky, we'll make it alright

all I've ever wanted was some happiness, and to take it to a level that was above the rest

I wasn't sure, but I know now that I believe, that it must be, that love don't love me

the smile on your face, let's me know that you need me, there's a truth in your eyes, saying you'll never leave me

fear of committment is a habit hard to break, I must say

all that I needed I could never find

I could not kiss, just regress

I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time

Walking on a wave's chicane,
Staring as she called my name.

Joana. Scatter the roots of our passage tonight
Discard the memories we chose to survive
All of our sense overshadowed by a song
Pining for strength
And deprive from the strong

When she was five years old
There was cake and brightlights
And when she was ten
She became the maid's bride
With temperance and beauty
And salvation unknown
A life isolated, heinous and young

Stand up and face it
Although you're half dead
Try to remember
Though they've taken your head
Why we sleep fully dressed
And rise only from bed
Who did this to us?
Who did this to us?

So partial to memory
The pearls of our dead
But where do we keep them?
Put them here by the steps,
While I climb to the top
And I find where I am.

- The For Carnation

[It sounds even more beautiful with the climactic atmosphere of the beat, the guitars and the tear-shedding cello]

bethany i keep thinking tomorrow is coming today so i am endlessly waiting

i woke up in mid afternoon
coz that's when it all hurst the most
i dream i never know anyone at the party but i'm always the host
if dreams are like movies then memories ar efilms about ghosts
and you can never escape you cn only moce further down the coast
if you've never stared off into the distance then your life is a shame
though i'll never forget your face sometimes i cant remember my name

every man's concious is vile and depraved
you cannot depend on it to be you guide
but it's you who must keep it satisfied
there are no mistakes in life some people say it's true sometimes
you can see it that way
people dont live or die people just float shes gone with the man in the long black coat

dont want to be a actor pretending on the stage
dont wanna be a writer with my thoughts out on the page
dont wanna be a painter coz everyone comes to look
dont wanna be anything where my like's an open book
i dream it's true
but i'd see it through
if i could be
wasting my time with you

kill rhythm roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over and kiss me gently, kiss me gently
kiss me gently. i hear the voices again tonight, i will sleep inside your mouth tonight.

the sidewalks are watching me think about you, sparkled with broken glass. i'm back with scars to show, back with the streets i know will never take me anywhere but here..

i've got this store bought way of saying i'm ok, and you've learned how to cry in total silence...

wait for the year to drown, spring forward, fall back down.

i'm trying not to wonder where you are...

Hold on to the corners of today, and we'll fold them up to save until its needed. stand still, let me scrub that brackish line that you got when something rose and then receded. hold on...

and when we wrote this story, how did it end? it was you and me for all our lives. come on, dont say it, we'll try again. and if i'd just hold you, we could last. but she stands suffering, tears down her face, hitting me, oh god this is the end. i'd wait here for you, but there's nothing more now i can do.

next time we touch we'll just shake hands. maybe an embrace, but only as friends. eyes shut tight, fingers forever crossed.

and all i want to hear is your voice
020504
...
lulie Stay, lady, stay,
stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day,
let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but
his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen.

silentbob i poured my heart out

it evaporated...see?



standing on a canyon's edge of a panoramic scene
or maybe i'm a kite thats flying high and random dangling a string
or slumped over in a vacant room, head on a strangers knee
i'm sure back home they think i've lost my mind
here i stand
sad and free
i can't cry
and i cant see
what i've done
oh GOD what have i done?

peyton tomorrow I was nothing, yesterday I'll be, time has fooled me into thinking that it's a part of me

touch the fingers of my hand, and tell me if its me

a religion that appeals to me, oh

can you turn me off, just a second please, turn me into something faceless, weightless, mindless, homeless, vacuum state of peace

I will be with her tonight

it's over now, I'm cold, alone, I'm just a person on my own, nothing means a thing to me, oh nothing means a thing to me

we're so creative, so much more, we're high above, but on the floor

the deeper you stick it in your vein, the deeper the thoughts theres no more pain

you can't let go of pain, when pain is all you have to hold onto

just a stranger on the bus

I'm cold, alone

broken doll baby and she says that life's a waste

dad threw away her mom, her mom gave up his name, crucified by their words, nailed by shame

the rhyme has changed, corruption rules, mary's little lambs are now raised by wolves

you're in the arms of the angels

persecuted she's not normal, I envy her strange ways, seven deadly sins seize the hours, seize the day

her ideas need expression, her wounds never bleed, her beauty lives admired, too bad she can't see

I've got to lose to make it right, we'll confront the stars tonight, I won't babble I won't bite

expected to fly, but she's just standing still

don't worry, pretty baby..

hey I think I love you, so what am I so afraid of, I'm afraid that I'm not sure of, a love there's no cure for

satan, you know where I lie

search for pleasures, overrated

never were we told, that we'd be bought and sold

I'm only happy when it rains, I'm only happy when it's complicated, and though I know you can't appreciate it, I'm only happy when it rains

Why it feels so good to feel so sad

pour your misery down on me

don't believe in love, don't believe in hate, don't believe in anything, you can't taint

you pretend you're high, pretend you're bored, pretend you're anything, just to be adored

I will be the rain, falling on your fire escape

I want a girl in a short skirt, and a long jacket

Hey man of science with your perceptions of pleasure, can you improve this place with the data that you gather

Hey sister bleeding heart with all of your compassions, your actions soothe the hurt, but can they sway temptation

my talent feeds my darker sides, yet no one will complain

I am just a worthless liar, I am just an imbecile. I will only complicate you, trust in me and fall as well. I will find a center in you, I will chew it up and leave. I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down.

waiting like a stalking butler, who upon the finger rests

fair coercion, leads to intrusion

she will never scrub the stains from her palms

they will serve as reminders of his hateful vice

the inner vipers of her soul

don't pull me down, this is where I belong

mistakes are hard to undo

I think I'm different, but I'm the same and I long

my tortured beacon, we need to find like minded companions

that you, wanted to do, away with yourself, I guess she thought I'd be a perfect resort

we've had this inexplicable connection since our youth

you and your chronic, their melodrama

if we were our bodies, if we were our futures, if we were our offenses, I'd be joining you

you and I, we're like five year olds, we want to know why and how come about everything

and you, were mind-boggling, you were intense, you were uncomfortable in your own skin, you were thirsty, but mostly you were beautiful

I knew a drugstore cowgirl, so afraid of getting bored.. she's always running from something, so many things ignored

today seems like a good day, burn a bridge or two

some people really suck

guess I'm stuck in a dream, surrounded by colored leaves on the ground

I'm going out for a while, so I can get high with my friends

I'm going out for a while, don't wait up cause I won't be home, today

I'm sorry I'm not home right now

drifting down the road, losing myself in a dream

do you have an opinion, a mind of your own, I thought you were special, I thought you should know

I hope you die

but I've run of patience, I couldn't care less

pilgrim No Lulie, But I have been Known to dabble with Bottleneck Slide. I own several Acoustic guitars, but my life has gotten so busy I hardly have a chance to play anymore. My ability is no doubt becoming as rusty as their strings.
Neither am I a huge Rod Stewart fan, But the Song Mandolin Wind Brings tears to my eyes, no shit.
My late wife liked Rod Stewart a lot, along with every other kind of music under the sun, I believe the song triggers memories and hence the waters flow.

angie they were digging a new foundation in manhattan, and they discovered a slave cemetary there.
may their souls rest easy now that lynching is frowned upon, we've moved on to the electric chair.
and i wonder, whose gonna be president tweedle dumb or tweedle dumber
and whose gonna have the next big blockbuster box office this summer
how bout we build a wall between the houses and the high way so that you can go your way and i can go my way
except all the radios agree with all the tvs
and the magazines agree with all the radios
and i keep hearing that same damn song everywhere i go!
maybe i should wear a bucket over my head, and a marshmallow in each ear, and stumble around for another dumb numb week for another hum drum hit song to appear
people used to make records as in a record of an event, the event of people playing music in a room
now everything is cross marketed its about sunglasses and shoes or guns or drugs, you choose
we got it re-hashed, we got it half-assed, were digging up all the graves and were spitting on the past because we can choose between the colors of the lipstick on the whores because we know the difference between the font of 20% more and the font of terriaki, you tell me how does it make you feel. you tell me what's real.
and they say that alcoholics are always alcoholics even when theyre dry as my lips for years
even when theyre stranded on some desert island
and theres no place in 2000 miles to buy beer and i wonder is he different, is he different, has he changed what he's about? or is he just a liar with nothing to lie about.
am i headed for the same brick wall?
is there anything i can do about anything at all?
except go back to that corner in Manhattan and dig deeper, dig deeper this time.
down beneath the impossible pain of our history beneeath the unknown bones beneath the bedrock of the mystery, beneath the sewage system and the path train, beneath the cobble stones and the water main, beneath the traffic of friendships and street deals, beneath the screeching of kamakazi cab wheels
beneath everythign i can think of to think about beneath it all beneath it all get out
beneath the good
and the kind
and the stupid
and the cruel
THERE'S A FIRE JUST WAITING FOR FUEL

In the garage.. where I belong
No one hears me sing this song

I play my stupid songs
I write these stupid words
And I love every one
I do I do

No one cares my ways

which of the bold faced lies will we use? i hope that you're happy, you really deserve it, this will be best for us both in the end. but your taste still lingers on my lips like i just placed them upon yours and i starve for you. but this new diet's liquid and dulling to the senses. and it's crude but it will do. which of the standard lines will we use? i've been meaning to call you. i've just been so busy. we'll catch up soon. let's make it a point to. but your taste still lingers on my lips like i just placed them upon yours and i starve for you. but this new diet's liquid and dulling to the senses. and it's crude but it will do.

Sonya I know you can't imagine
angels taking flight
I know you can't imagine
your darkest hour light

You might think it strange,
but I know that you can fly
I know you don't believe,
but there's heaven in your eyes

And when you think you're not enough,
just know that I do
Even though it's inconceivable to you

I know you can't imagine
you could heal the blind
I know you can't imagine
you could change my life

You don't seem to see
you're the miracle in me
I know you don't agree
but the world needs you to breathe

And when you think you're not enough,
just know that I do
Even though it's inconceivable to you

I can't imagine why,
your eyes don't make you smile
I can't imagine why,
you don't see you're worth my while

And maybe you don't see it now
Still I know it's true
Even though it's inconceivable to you

I know you can't imagine
standing on the moon
I know you can't imagine
this song's about you

Please don't go away
Take a step it'd be too far
I'm not overreacting
I just see things as they are

And when you think you're not enough
Just know that I do
Even though it's inconceivable to you

Sintina I won't be alone, you know that don't mean I'm not lonely.

Mary's little lambs are now raised by wolves.

Let's make a night to remember all life long.

Why does she take all the blame?

Everything is gone, there's nothing left to fear.

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone. I hear you call my name and it feels like home.

Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery.

Not a dry eye in the house, after love's curtain comes down.

Your body is a wonderland.

Set me free, why don't you babe?

It doesn't really matter if we make it or not, we've got each other and that's a lot.

I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know.

Can you make me some magic with your own two hands? Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?

I don't know how, but I could learn to pray, if praying makes you hear me.

You can look right at me and in your eyes there's a mystery.

Can't you feel the weight of my stare?

painted marbles i, i wont lie, i wont sin, maybe i dont wanna go.

my eyes seem to follow you like a hated addiction

this vacation's useless, these white pills arent kind, ive given a lot of thought on this 13 hour drive. i miss the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9, and slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights. ive given a lot of thought to the nights we used to have. the days have come and gone, our lives went by so fast. i faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor, where i laid and told you but you swear you loved me more. do you care if i dont know what to say, will you sleep tonight or will you think of me, will i shake this off, pretend its all ok, that theres someone out there who feels just like me? there is. those notes you wrote me, i kept them all, ive given a lot of thought of how to write you back this fall. with every single letter in every single word, there will be a hidden message of a boy who loves a girl..

so i fell like that girl from a balance beam, a gymnasium of eyes all are holding on to me. i lifted one foot to cross the other and i felt myself slipping, it was a small mistake, sometimes thats all it takes. and im staring at my wrist, hoping that the time is right, when the planets will align, there'll be no planets to align. just the carcass of the sun, little painted marbles spinning senseless through the endless black sky...

so i wait for the day when i hear the key, as it turns in the lock and the guard will say to me, "oh my patient prisoner, you waited for this day, and finally, you are free, you are free, you are freezing." so im staring at the sun, waiting for it to explode, cuz a day is gonna come, dont know when but it will come. and we'll find another way outta here. and ill throw away this wrinkled map, and my chart of stars, and compass, cracked. and ill climb that tree all wet with sap to avoid the hungry beat below. ill cut out my lover's tongue and sing of a graveyard gray, and a garden green, and we wont have to worry no more, no we wont have to wonder again, about how this song or story ends, about how this song and story will end...

there's nothing left of what was sacred, if there was im sure we'd break it. cuz thats just the way we are man, and its far too late to change that.

On a normal day, I'd treat you like I did today, I don't know why I need the pain. On a normal day, I'd stop it all and tell you why I pulled the plug, threw it away. If only it would get better, I'd smile as if I felt it, Although if it ever got better...I might go throw it all away the way you always do. I might just bury you alive and go do something new

dont turn me home again, i just cant face myself alone again. dont run back inside, darling, you know just what im here for. so youre scared and youre thinking that maybe we aint that young anymore? show a little faith, there's magic in the night, you aint a beauty but hey, youre alright, and thats alright with me.

you let life get in your way

dont let me let you go

is it so hard to believe our hearts are made to be broken by love? and in constant dying lies the beauty of it all? my darling wont you feel the sweet heaven in our endless cry? oh, at least you could try for this one last time. ever amazed how bright are the flames we are burning in? ever smiled at the tragedies we hold inside? my darling, wont you cherish the fear of life that keeps you and me so alive? oh at least you could try for this one last time. it will be alright for this one last time.

you light me up and then i fall for you. you lay me down and then i call for you. stumbling on reasons that are far and few, i'd let it all come down and then some for you. pretty baby, dont you leave me, i have been saving smiles for you.

if you could only see how blue his eyes can be when he says he loves me.

i'd like to fall asleep to the beat of you breathing.

neon lights and slinking purple skies, squeeze out soft regrets from all our lives. i greet another door that opens in to that place where we repeatedly begin. im tangled up in try, slipping on i wonder why, i face affectionate embrace...

you almost always pick the best times to drop the worst lines, you almost made me cry again this time. another false alarm, red flashing lights, well this time im not going to watch myself die..i think i made it a game to play your game and let myself cry, buried myself alive on the inside. so i could shut you out, let you go away for a long time. i guess its ok i puked the day away, i guess its better you trapped yourself in your own way, and if you want me back, youre gonna have to ask...

i wanna hate you so bad, but i cant stop this anymore than you can.

the truth is you could slit my throat, and with my one last gasping breath, i'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt.

and all i need to know is that i'm something youll be missing. maybe i should hate you for this, never really did ever quite get that far, maybe i should hate you for this, never really did ever quite get that

the only thing i regret is that i never let you hold me back. hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens, a thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins. i will never ask if you dont ever tell me, i know you well enough to know you never loved me. why cant i feel anything from anyone other than you? and all of this was all your fault...

i stay wrecked and jealous for this simple reason, i just need to keep you in mind as something larger than life...

if im just bad news, then you're a liar

im waiting for blood to flow to my fingers, ill be alright when my hands get warm. ignoring the phone, id rather say nothing, id rather youd never heard my voice. youre calling too late, too late to be gracious. you do not warrant long goodbyes. youre calling too late, youre calling too late, youre calling too late...

please tell me youre just feeling tired, cuz if its more than that i feel that i might break, out of touch, out of time. please send me anything but signals that are mixed, cuz i cant read your rolling eyes, out of touch, are we out of time?? ill wait until tomorrow, maybe youll feel better then, maybe we'll be better then. so whats another day when i cant bear these nights of thoughts of going on without you? this mood of yours is temporary, it seems worth the wait to see your smile again, out of the corner of your eye wont be the only way youre looking at me then...

im reading your note over again, there's not a word that i comprehend, except where you signed it, "i will love you always and forever" and as for now im gonna hear the saddest songs, and sit alone and wonder how youre making out, and as for me i wish that i was anywhere, with anyone, making out.

i hope youre as happy as youre pretending.

i am alone in my defeat. i wish i knew you were safely at home.

im making my peace, and making it with distance. but maybe thats a big mistake, you know im thinking of you...i miss you. you'll change your mind come monday, and turn your back on me. you'll take your steps away with hesitance, you'll take your steps away from me...

on sleepless roads the sleepless go, may angels lead you in...

if you still care at all, dont go tell me now, if you love me at all, dont call...ill throw away everything ive written you, oh anything, just keep my mind from thinking how i had you once, no i cant forget that, sometimes i wish i could lose you again...

maybe, baby, you could keep me up in bed. you spin around me like a dream, we played out on this movie screen, and i said, did you know i miss you? did you know i miss you? did you know i miss you? did you know i miss you? did you know i miss you? did you know i miss you? did you know i miss you? oh i god i miss you...and then you bring me home, and we go to sleep, but this time not alone, and youll kiss me in your living room, and i know you miss me in your living room, cuz these nights i think that maybe i miss you in my living room...but we dont have much room, i said does anybody need that room? cuz we all need a little bit of room to live...my konstantine

ok im done now

Black Argonaut Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo


And the days go by....
like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own...
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby...
Nothin' else mattered


He was no more...than a baby then
Well he... seemed broken hearted...
something within him
But the moment...that I first laid...
Eyes...on...him...all alone...
On the edge of...seventeen


Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo


I went today...maybe I will go again...
tomorrow
And the music there it was hauntingly...
familiar
And I see you doing...
what I try to do for me
With the words from a poet...
and the voice from a choir
And a melody...nothing else mattered


Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo


The clouds...never expect it...
when it rains
But the sea changes colours...
but the sea...
Does not change
And so...with the slow...graceful flow..
of age
I went forth...with an age old...
desire...to please
On the edge of...seventeen


Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo


Well then suddenly...
there was no one...left standing
In the hall...yeah, yeah...
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
Oh I went searchin' for an answer...
Up the stairs...and down the hall
Not to find an answer...
just to hear the call
Of a nightbird...singing...
come away...come away...


Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo


Well I hear you in the morning...
and I hear you...
At nightfall...
sometime to be near you...
Is to be unable...to hear you...
my love...
I'm a few years older than you...
are (I'm a few years older than you) my love


Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby...ooo...said ...

argo It's so hard to go in the city
cause you wanna say hello to everybody

It's so hard to go into the city
cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody

When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky
Now all we wanna do is go to red places
And try to stay outta hell

it must just be the colors
And it must just be the kids
That keep me alive on this January night

Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear


Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better that what came before

Do you remember
When we met
That's the day
I knew you were my pet

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you
030219
...
me I have watched your unlove
written like tabloids
that I had to stumble on
buying my food
there you were unfolded
in headlines and horror
I love all those bits of you

feels like i'm run over in traffic
scratchin' in the dust
someone's leavin' punches in my gut
of look i'm bleeding
not for you
for me
this time
this time
not for you for me this time

art choke It was in the march of the winter I turned seventeen
That I bought those pills
I thought I would need
And I wrote a letter to my family
Said it's not your fault
And you've been good to me
Just lately I've been feeling
Like I don't belong
Like the ground's not mine to walk upon
And I've heard that music
Echo through the house
Where my grandmother drank
By herself
And I sat watching a flower
As it was withering
I was embarrassed by its honesty
So I'd prefer to be remembered as a smiling face
Not this fucking wreck
That's taken its place

So please forgive what I have done
No you can't stay mad at the setting sun
Cause we all get tired, I mean eventually
There is nothing left to do but sleep

But spring came bearing sunlight
Those persuasive rays
So I gave myself a few more days
My salvation it came, quite suddenly
When Justin spoke very plainly
He said "Of course it's your decision,
But just so you know,
If you decide to leave,
Soon I will follow"

I wrote this for a baby
Who has yet to be born
My brother's first child
I hope that womb's not too warm
Cause it's cold out here
And it'll be quite a shock
To breathe this air
To discover loss
So I'd like to make some changes
Before you arive
So when your new eyes meet mine
They won't see no lies
Just love.
Just love.

I will be pure
No, no, I know i will be pure
Like snow, like gold

unhinged you know you're down when
you count the friends you have
but you only use one hand
honey
it finally hit your face
you're feeling mighty low
just slightly out of place
storm
your dreams have drowned again
because you never learned to swim
older
but no better

unhinged passed over
blown away
you'll hang your hat on yesterday
growing older now
no better
you're older
but no better
you say you're upset
forecast the life you want
just beyond the colder front sugar
the winds of change blow through
it took the whole damn world i guess
it only left you cold
storm
step forth and fire away
rebuttals drenched with rain delay
storm
your dreams just washed away
while all us kids were out at play
growing older now
no better
you're older now
no better
that's right

...
unhinged you're coming clean
for once
god it feels so good
yeah it feels alright
so hang up the gloves dear
let's get on with the event yeah
instead of raising our voices
let's reinforce our arguement
load up your memory cells
point blank range
blow you to hell
for what it's worth
you're coming home
you're coming clean
for once
god it feels so good
yeah it feels alright
so hang up the gloves dear
let's get on with the event yeah
instead of raising our voices
let's reinforce our arguement
ghost comes to hate yesterday
don't remind me
of the feelings that i've lost
with the people put behind me
memories of some deeds
of despair and depression
check the score
let the truth never find me

the fire inside your halo slippin' down to choke you now 040923

peyton and all of this time
you thought i was sad
i was trying to remember your name

i lie
i wait
i start
i hesitate
i am
i breathe
i meant,
i think of me
is it any wonder I can't sleep?
all I have is all you gave to me
is it any wonder I found peace
through you?
turn to the gates of heaven
to myself be damned
turn away from light
it's not enough
just a touch
it's not enough
i taste
i love
i come
i bleed enough.
i hate.
i'm not
i was..
i want too much.

she took my heart
i think she took my soul.

don't be aroused,
by my confession
unless you don't give
a good God damn
about redemption.

the pressure is building
at the base of my spine
if i have to sin
to see her again
then i'm gonna lie
and lie
and lie

She'll eat you alive.

peyton I'll sell my soul
To be back in your bosom.

To do it again..

raze ("gold", by peter blegvad)

gold would be worthless
if it didn't require
such heartbreak to seek it
to find it and mine it
things remain precious
as long as they're rare
if gold could be found
lying 'round everywhere
it'd be the lowliest of metals
too soft for serious use
pretty, of course
and warm to the touch
but no longer alluring
when you've handled so much
the lowliest of metals

will you come with me
through the ice and the snow?
she thought for a minute
then she said, "let's go"
i rode behind her as she rode ahead
and all through that winter
i’d lose her and find her
our rations ran out
our horses were dead
she forgot what gold was
and i had to remind her

the lowliest of metals
too soft for serious use
pretty, of course
and warm to the touch
but no longer alluring
when you've handled so much
the lowliest of metals

in a prospector's shack
she lay out of her mind
describing how simple gold is to find
just under the surface
in zigzagging veins
it lies there like branches
of midsummer lightning
you just open a hole
in the crust of the plains
she said, "you reach in
and it's there for the taking"

snow-blind and starving
i sat by her side
as the fever raged in her
and the storm raged outside
she said, "now we are rich"
i told her the truth
all the gold we had found
could not crown a tooth
she said, "these things i know
without being told
we are rich in each other
now what good is gold?
it's the lowliest of metals"

sometimes i dream the world is reversed
i dream that accountants
are rarer than poets
that things will get better
that they can’t get any worse
that a rich man has nothing
but dirt in his purse

and gold is the lowliest of metals
it's too soft for serious use
it's pretty, of course
and it's warm to the touch
but no longer alluring
when you've handled so much
the lowliest of metals
