(Untitled)

I wanted to feel something
To be something
To see something

I wanted to find
One thing that was mine
And leave this behind
But I can't find my way
To get far away
And bury these days

Fantasy
Once reality
Become such a parody

If I could find
One thing that was mine
And leave this behind
But I can't find my way
To get far away
And bury these days

If shining
Or if shaken
It's reality fakin'

If I could find
One thing that was mine
And leave this behind
But I can't find my way
To get far away
And bury these days
Bittersweet

Seven sins of wantonness and
Everything that's good is gone
Sell it all for glory from the peers
Silicone priestess scratch the back and
Twists the knife to bone
Kick against the pricks and scrape the shins

I'm the enemy in the enemies now

Swallowed the pill
Drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now
Try to hold the world there sinking,
Swimming in a paper cup
Try to own the one beneath the skin
Held up to the flame 'till singeing
Skin begins to draw and tuck
Never told there's a chance to win

What couldn't be, wouldn't be now

Hold your hands up to the sky and try
So hard to rise above
But everything is beating down
Shimmer

She calls me from the cold
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label
She says she's ashamed
And can she take me for awhile
And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past
But maybe I'm not able
And I break at the bend

We're here and now, but will we ever be again
'cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again

She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her
She says that love is for fools who fall behind
And I'm somewhere in between
I never really know
A killer from a savior
'til I break at the bend

It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away...

Guess I'll let it go
Jesus or a Gun

Walk away, I walk the wire
And my fields are burning in the flames
Feel my way, blind in the mire
Struggling from your voice inside my head

But now everything's trying to drag me down
But I'll rip the sky from the ground
But tell me now, who's my saving one
Jesus or a gun

Stripped away my last desire
Nothing comes and nothing's sent away
Happiness I couldn't hire
Struggling from these thoughts inside my head

All that's safer falls from my favor
When it over who will cry for me

It's safe to say I don't desire
Everything you push inside my head
And I'll reject it until I'm dead
Sunburn

The sky was dark this morning
Not a bird in the trees
And silence hung suspicious and anxious
Like a blanket covered scream

And you were gone
You were not there for me
And I cursed the sky and begged the sun to
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down

All my friends are searching
Quiet, desperately
Look into their eyes you'll see the faithless crying
Save me, save me, save me

And what are they to feel
And who are they to be
And what am I to do with, do with me, but let the sun
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down

Until my eyes cry out
'til my head is free from doubt
'til my lungs sigh right out
'til I'm wiser

Let the sun
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down
New Thing

Take me out alive
Take me out it's all so stale
Give me another life
Excuse me if I tried and failed

And I don't mind if I fall
It's not that far at all

I got a new thing, it's so inspired
It's not the real thing, but it's for me
Because the real thing I don't desire
So it's the new thing I choose for me
Denial omfort me

Built the gallows high
You gave me plans and silver nails
The architects of pride
But I'm the one you're hanging now

And I don't mind if I fall
It's not that far at all
It's Come to This

And I found my head uncrowned and all life's sweet nectar flowing down
The cracks and seams wasted on some petty little prayers
And i
Reached up for despair but I was well below that cherished stage
And all my mangled hopes all song unsung

I fear I've wasted all my sun
I fear I've wasted all my time
Everything is faded
Smiles are fabricated now
I fear I've wasted all my sun
I fear I've wasted all my time
Held my eyes closed for too long

And I ran out through the streets in hopes that I might find it there
But all my buildings stared back at me tenantless and bare
And i
Reached up for the sky, but it always seemed so far away
Transcendent thoughts you gave lie atrophied and broken

And I sat when I should have stood; swallowed when I should have spit
Until now I only recognize me in pictures taken long ago
And
All the changes simply haunt and never go away
A friend will tell when I hit hell, I may not feel the change

Held my eyes closed for too long
Held my eyes closed for too long

Just before I go don't you offer any sweet advice because where were all
Your shoulders when I needed them so long ago
And
Now with legs weak and weary from this silly dance
With a suitcase fulof memories, I pack my bags and slowly drift away
Song For You

It's all I want
It's all I needed now it's through
It all comes back to you
The only one
The one I needed I abuse
More color for the bruise

So I sing this song for you
There's nothing left for me to do

Goodbye dear one
Venus I thought you'd bless me too
So selfish to presume

So I sing this song for you
And I hope that what is true
Will find a way to you
I sing this song for you

Venus never showed the way
The stars would not be sold
Heaven stole the light of day
And we were never told
So dark the day...
So much for life, for life and love

And now it's done
The color always changes hue
Bright to black and blue

So I sing this song for you
There's nothing left for me to do
Mary Pretends

Mary pretends she's so insane, so insane, so insane
Mary pretends she's so insane, so insane, so insane
She just sits back and laughs at the pain
Laughs at the pain, laughs at the pain
Mary pretends she's so insane, so insane, so insane

Falling down of her mind
Gives her everything she's wanted from the world
Close her eyes, drift inside, so alive

She wants to know what it feels like
She wants to know what it feels like to fly
She wants to know what it feels like to die
Goodbye
Ozone

I wanna make her go, I wanna make her come
I wanna push her away
Don't wanna feel no pain
Don't wanna feel no shame
Don't wanna feel this way
I'm so alone here
Why must I be

I'm the one she calls ozone baby
She waits alone for me to come down
But I want to fly like silly angel
Aim for the sky, straight into the sun

I wanna make her feel, I wanna make it real
I wanna give her away
She wanna keep me here
She wanna hold me dear
She wanna make me stay
She's so alone here
She don't need me
My sun, on you, burning, singe you
Confined inside, rot from my lies, sucker

I'll only hold you down, I'll only steal your crown
I'll only make you cry
I'll only break your pride, and eat you up inside
Why should you even try
I'm so alone here
Why must I be
Hideaway

Hideaway, take me now
I cannot face another round
And I'm flipping through the pages
For a name to take my place
Close my eyes, wish that I could find a space
To hideaway

Troubled days cloud my eyes
Stole the sun from my skies
And in this darkness I am tossing, turning
Lying wide awake
Hold my breath, wish that I could find a place
To hideaway

Hideaway, take me now
I cannot face another round
