you might sound so far away
but objects in the mirror are always closer than they appear
you might think it's never gonna happen
but life has a way to bring us together, my dear
and if we need to believe
there are always those miracle stories we hear
and if you need a reason or two to stay
you might feel like a distant star approaching
but i'm just waiting several light years away from you
might feel like a planet floating in space
and if we need to believe
there are always those miracle stories we hear
and if you need a reason or two to stay
you might feel like a lost swimmer abandoned by your ship
well, i won't do that
the shore might seem like just an idea of salvation
and if you need to believe
there are always those miracle stories we read
and if you need a reason or two to stay
it might seem like a mirage to your eyes
it might feel like sometimes you'd rather go blind
it might never come to fruition
it's all due to time and bad decisions
not for a lack of love

dear life

do you know
i'm just getting whole again
do you see
i'm covering my eyes to not
realize
i feel like i'm dying
when i'm just getting started
i feel like i'm driving home
when i'm getting farther away
why did i have to let you go
when i was so happy to be home
when i should have been giving it all away
i should have been holding on to you for dear life
my dear life
can you see
i've been sleeping in the corner
trying to be better
before it's all over
i cannot understand
and i can't believe anymore
with the things that crash into me
i'm dying, laid on this floor
it's just a little colder
when you start to cover
the sad songs of others
and of course, they're all failures
and i should have been holding on to you
for dear life
my dear life

didn't i tell you to keep your mouth closed
when you can't say anything good
didn't i tell you to shut it for a second
you just can't keep it down
you just can't keep it down
you're a beast
you're a beast
you're an animal
you're a beast
you're a beast
you're just like me
there's some girl in the corner
she's holding her beating heart
didn't i tell you not to scare the meat away
you just can't keep it down
you just can't keep her around
you're a beast
you're a beast
you're an animal
you're a beast
you're a beast
you're just like me

i can see your fin cutting through the surf
i can see your smile towering over me
you're like a monster laughing in full display
you came out of your shell just to kiss and wave
my heart beats and it's showing hate
it shocks me that you're here too late
you're like that movie that really scared me
you can never enter this home, never, baby
hear your laughs, the king widens his grin
just smile while you and her go on living in sin
hear me giggle, you just missed the clue
it was so obvious, it was bigger than you
my heart beats and it's showing hate
it shocks me that you're here too late
you're like that movie that really scared me
you can never enter this home, never, baby

hot lies
04:22
|

your eyes are roving
while i am fuming
your pants are burning
the face i'm making
my ground is scorching
the scars you're leaving
i'm getting scared more than ever
i've trusted way too much truth in you
and i feel found out
even now, before your pipes are bursting
they will be exploding
in my space
on my lap
tough it up
i know what you'll say
this is the way it goes
people destroy who they love
especially those
because salvation
is often painful
sometimes, what happens
when you've finally confessed
i accept it with open eyes and open hands
i don't understand
never had it in my mind
that right
to put myself in your place
you're the kind of man
who counts sheep when he can't sleep
when he can't feel
he repeats the final reel
he spins his eyes until he's afraid of the dark
until he's the child in the park
where his mother took him when he was nine
too old to be spellbound
too young to forget the moment
she spins him around, spinning like a wheel
there's this woman who cannot stop him
from going faster and he goes faster
faster than a raindrop
faster than a teardrop

cat's eye

they haunt me
they taunt me
with marbles in their palms
shiny, blue and holy
can you hear me
i don't want to be heard
i'll get over this
sooner or later
they call me
when i look back
they've all fleshed out their plans
cool, lucky and blessed
can you talk
i don't want to talk
cat's eye
you mesmerize
when i'm this deep
when i'm asleep
when i'm this frozen
when the snow is
burying me in my sleep
come talk to me
i painted you in black and blue
i'll paint you in severe red
paint you dead
come tell me what
you meant by loves a lot
is that alert in your eyes
or are you cooking up a fight
don't tilt your head like that

twas supposed to bring us closer together
but it didn't
twas supposed to make you fall for me harder
but it didn't
twas supposed to make everything better
but you didn't
twas supposed to make you live forever
but it didn't
and you just went away
like a dog, you strayed
and you just fell away
like a tree branch, you swayed
breaking under the wind
like a typical weakling
like a typical weakling
twas supposed to make you go further
but it didn't
twas supposed to make you drink harder
but you didn't
twas supposed to make you drive faster
but you didn't
twas supposed to make you die sooner
but you didn't
and you just went away
a prisoner, you escaped
and you just live again
like a vampire in the day
walking around unfazed
like a typical weakling
like a typical weakling
and you just went away
like a dog, you strayed
and you just fell away
like a tree branch, you swayed
breaking under the wind
like a typical weakling
like a typical weakling

new lonely
03:26
|
|||
when you told me to sit beside you
hold my hand, i'm see through
nothing differs from feeling nothing
i still don't feel that amazing
even though it's now crowded
nothing has been amended
it's just another kind of lonely
it's still part of misery's family
it's a oneness that blazes
still lost in countless mazes
the new lonely that keeps me busy
floating like a gilded lily
when you told me the room is filling
i look around and see it's empty
the wound you left has gone septic
strangers have had it with my antics
when you made me drop my anchor
togetherness just made life harder
there's no sorrow i can't conjure
it's a lonely that can injure

missed the boat
04:01
|
|||
i'm still waiting by the shore
i've opened the windows, unlocked the door
i try to see through all the waves
and i've sorted through all the tapes
and still, my belly's inside out
and my heart is filled with doubt
i wish my mind didn't go that route
you really have to come back now
going nowhere within a shell
a chord away from the fatal bell
to try sleeping and dream of you
instead of nightmares of black and blue
kissing my hand just to feel better
drowning my head just to get higher
smelling the odor of your coat
they all tell me i've missed the boat
you don't know how it feels
to stand here naked in the chill
you don't know the emptiness
the love just grows more none the less

full blown moon
02:15
|

all day i was asleep
asleep on the floor
as you didn't want me
to use the phone
you said you were waiting
for an important call
i asked from who
i asked from who
you just stared into the air
and i got you
i got what you were telling me
i used to be as bright as you
i used to be as light
i used to be a full blown moon
now you've died
gone are the days
when all that mattered
was a brand new episode
now, i have to struggle
with finding my step
breaking the bond was
like hooking a cost
on whatever's exploded
between the two of us
i used to be as bright as you
i used to be as light
i used to be a full blown moon
now you've died

they say in that house
there roams a ghost
yanking a chain
all through the night
he knows your name
he knows your plight
don't you pretend
you don't catch sight
he knows your past
he has seen it all
it's all splattered
all over the walls
so look for the sign for sale
i'm sure it's the only house on the street
with no one to call its own
no one to call its own
all over the rooms
throw pillows are flung
over the table
broken cups are hung
a snicker
comes from the ghost
he's been watching
your situation from a distance
maybe it needs a haze
crashing into its web
it will leave a blaze
on your life and mine
so look for the sign for sale
i'm sure it's the only house on the street
with no one to call its own
no one to call its own

on fire
02:44
|

there's that movie i always liked
the one about that lonely guy
i know you try to be sad like him
but what's the use when you're not in a film
it seems like i'm not here
it looks closer than it appears
and i'm trying to run away
it's catching me and i'm on fire
i wanna know what happens now
the odds are getting me down
life's claws are getting sharper
i don't think i would be here tomorrow
it seems like i'm not here
it looks closer than it appears
and i'm trying to run away
it's catching me and i'm on fire

call center blues

i have a thought
i keep it in a box
i buried it down the desert
it sits there around the clock
i have this dream
it shook me to the core
i carry it with my papers
it throws me down the floor
you brought me glowing butterflies
and they carried away my eyes
they took my mind
what a shame
i'm still alive
i have a thought
i keep it in a box
i buried it down the desert
i sit here around the clock
i have this dream
it shook me to the core
i carry it with my papers
and i dream of something more
you brought me golden fireflies
and they carried away my eyes
they took my mind
what a shame
i'm still alive

yr demise
02:01

i have to confess
everynight
i've been
praying for your death
everynight
i've been
praying for your death
crashing car
burning head
shaking earth
swallowed pills
why don't you just die
i don't want you beside
i don't want you beside me
