sullen bed

you're so beautiful inside out
i want to punch you right in the mouth
you think my face can launch a thousand ships
but i have a thousand promises i'd never keep
so ruthless in my delivery of love
might try to lose you in the process
you know i want all the rain for myself
if i was really the black soul that you say i am
i'll just tip you over
another mirage
to row your boat faster for
i don't think i can love you anymore
would it take your whole life
for you to roll
in the dark
out of your sullen bed
if i was really the black soul that you say i am
but i'm not

i said i didn't want to go
you go and have a good time
but you twist my arm
and i come with you while you drive
it's never gonna happen
it's never gonna happen
with my hand in yours, i felt like sinking
i knew i was safe because you were with me
the shine of the sword will be reflected in your eyes
it's never gonna happen
it's never gonna happen
your friends delight
in your appearance
i lose you now in the big crowd
i stick myself to the wall
like a gum, i hold on
they like you so much more
and i know what they're saying
what they see as your shadow
you hold so much promise
and your smile is almost blinding
it's never gonna happen
it's never gonna happen
it's never gonna happen
it's never gonna happen

what i get from you
03:11
|
|||
|
i get love from you
i get hate from you
i get cash from you
i get shit from you
getting used to
sleeping over around here
but things aren't always
the way they appear
i get drunk with you
i fuck around with you
i get cash from you
i get shit from you
all the gestures you've made
aren't enough to cover the skin i've displayed
all the prayers i've prayed
aren't enough to send me to heaven
i get love from you
i get hate from you
i get cash from you
i get shit from you
one of those lost causes
one of those folks living empty lives
zeroed in on a remote prospect
people who kill themselves with a knife
all the gestures you've made
aren't enough to cover the skin i've displayed
all the prayers i've prayed
aren't enough to send me to heaven

too much too soon
03:59
|

|
how come this came to a screeching halt
i thought you were my lightning bolt
bellow from the farthest reaches of the sky
never thought you'd be this angry and i don't know why
i believe in love
i believe in us
i believe in trust
go ahead and call the cops
and i'll tell so big a lie
it will cover your eyes
it's too much, too soon
to be in a boxing ring fighting with you
how come the one you find
doesn't have much of a spine
it's just like a fairytale
i believe in love
i believe in us
i believe in trust
go ahead and call the cops
and i'll tell so big a lie
it will cover your eyes

sisters

she hasn't lied because she can't squeeze a thing
out of your thin cotton pocket
she hasn't lied because she is searching for your smooth leather wallet
you only love her because you only see what she shows
you gotta wait for all the shocking low blows
and god help you
if you survive
she'll keep on coming until you kick her out of your life
sisters talk shit
sisters who hit
sisters who think
they are nurturing
you only love her because you only see what she shows
you gotta wait for all the shocking low blows
and god help you
god help you
your sister died holding my hand
your sister cried all the way through it
your sister lied to you and now, she won't be able to

ghosthouse
05:40
|

this house is made of wood
one spark can burn it to the ground
and i'm inside the bedroom
sleeping on your side of the mattress
and i'm not terribly on edge
because i know you won't be here tonight
in here in this ghosthouse
in here in this ghosthouse
in here in this ghosthouse
in here in this ghosthouse
you fell down the stairs
and you chose to stay there
and i'm left searching the halls
for a sign of your remains
but you're still in limbo
deciding what to do
last night, i buried you
with your family and friends
then i smashed your tombstone
because you left me alone
i can't just see your death
and move on living this way
now i hear your voice
it's your fault, they seem to say
you should've driven like a madman
but the hospital was a mile away
it was a difficult twist of fate
i was driving like the wind
so fast i almost left myself
in here in this ghosthouse

silent still
03:25
|
|||
|
do you hear me marching to the beat of your drum
you have been silent all these years, you're silent now
i'm holding my own against the water pressure
i've been loving myself, one's own lover
oh my god, you've been so odd
seems like the shallow ones are the only ones
oh my god, you've been so odd
seems like the hollow ones are the only ones
like a monkey, playing tricks on you
makes me feel nothing but still i rejected
felt my own life pulling and pushing to your will
inertia broke my heart and i'm left standing still
oh my god, you've been so odd
seems like the shallow ones are the only ones
oh my god, you've been so odd
seems like the hollow ones are the only ones

if i go don't tell me
where i'll land
if i go don't tell me
what you want
baby, it's time to go
baby, it's time, i think so
baby, it's time to leave
baby, just come with me
i fear i'm not so real
when baby, you're not here
so baby, just hold my hand
i wish you'd understand
i need you like air, like water
so basic like belief
just give me your hand
hand me your fist
don't reach for my throat
don't reach for my wrist
just give me your hand
just give me your soul
i won't save your life
if you don't take your own
baby, it's time to go
baby, it's time, i think so

the rug of nothing
02:48
|
|||
|
it's all gone
this little world that i hide
i'm found out
a crazy light is shining bright
on the lie
i've told myself from the start
now, it's done
delusion gave way to my fright
and your silence
all the things you have to say
you've swept under the rug of nothing, it's okay
yes, i've fallen
in another cliff i can't climb
no, i'm staying
i'm not ready to be left behind
it's broken
the spell you cast that kept me blind
but my eyes
i'll close them shut if you're mine
and your silence
all the things you have to say
you've swept under the rug of nothing, it's okay

but this world
02:59
|
|||
|
some kind of cloud is hovering
pink with a stroke of blue
this world is on to you
this world is on to you
be careful not to
step on someone else's shoe
another mile and we're done
this world is on to us
i'm going to heaven
i'm going to hell
i'm going deep
to the very middle
this world is on to you
