I'd rather live in silence
If that meant you wouldn't hurt
I depend on everyone to tell me where I'm going wrong
It isn't my time to dance with her
I'll never speak another word
And sayin' anything would be absurd
She'll turn to me and finally I've seen another part of someone that's holding onto life
Believing for us a better time is all I can find
But I love you like I always have
Don't fall in love with me
I'd rather live with violence
If that meant you would care
But I depend on everyone to tell me when I'm never there
I'll define the circumstance
That she will one day take this chance
And stumble through what's left of my romance
Lost to every photograph, what's a boy to do?
Just become a man?
If it's just become a man I'll take my hands back.
Don't fall in love with me girl

No Blue Sky

How do I walk further with Jesus' hands around my neck?
Rehearsals run between my skull
Where everything's dismantled
Futile fortune, the sky is dull
And love lays untangled
The cigarette's ash resembling the past
assembling the last I have with no hands to hold
quick before we fold sick and the morning splits apart as seams rip
Alive or suicide belongs to you or I
In one or two halves to make the other last a lifetime
You're a lifeline for me when there's
No Blue Sky
Now there's no blue sky
I'm in debt to you
for what you let me do
a book that's bathed in blue
creased pages deceased in cages
ages spent wageless
alone and stateless
bones weightless
the reasoning with the faithless
will you help me when i am aimless now?
There's no blue sky
A final verse, I in a hearse
nursing wine, mercy
time waits for some kinds
and blanks out the sky
two doors to die in
two floors deep to fin me in finally
peace in my mind
im at least on borrowed time
because I don't have me in mind...
With Jesus' hands around my neck.

Heaven knows you're right
If heaven was real
The falling bodies
The silent water
I'll live like scum for now
Feel like dirt for a little while
The canvas is not worth painting
It's rotting away
Is that all there is?
Tell me I'm wrong again
I know you can't
Look at them now
The Hanging Angels
Above the funeral
In the distant sunlight
God shoots his gun
At seemingly innocent lives around this silent water funeral pyre I reside
(God Shoots)
While the rest of them are carving out a way
I stand just too small for the day
Positioning the stars
I'm wondering where you are
And it feels like no revolution so
Hang me here - like a painting
Hanging on the wall
Hanging somewhere else in this world that turns without us on two black wings now folding over me
I hope you find peace brother
somewhere in this solar system of madness
sedative days, lonely in the night
some soft blankets are like concrete landings
hold your fire
stop your shooting down
I hope you find peace brother
somewhere in this solar system of madness
sedative days, lonely in the night
some soft blankets are like concrete landings
There's live ammunition here
and peace is lost
I don't believe I did what I did to do no more
But stateless souls have to go
So Run dear God run
Run
Dear God, run.

Woman and a Loved One

Meet me outside in the rain
So we can drown in this together
I pull you under water and the waves
You're a delicate design
Is this a chance to realign with your broken heart
Where am I going to start?
That's just me, man
That's just me
No one has a name in heaven
So goodbye
I won't see you there this time
You love me like someone is ready to kill me
And one of us is justified
Is she my woman?
Is she my loved one?
Am I just another one spec of dust invisible to people I trust?
I regret defacing nature but what of this is natural dear?
Am i forced to be among us or somehow removed of my fears
some light envious emotion
together with the weight of my complications
but that's just me man
No one has a name in heaven
So goodbye
I won't see you there this time
You love me like someone who's ready to kill me
And one of us is justified
Is she my woman?
Is she my loved one?

Cocoon
04:54
|
|||
|
An empty shell
A hand around my fingers
Welcome in
How many people die when a child is in their arms
How many miracles will come to their fathers harm
Watch the world roll by
Staring at the centre
Like a nightmare isn't on it's way forever
Strings and fallen wires
Strangled on a bastard life
A wounded soul of mine
Should've stayed inside
Stayed inside the womb
Remained in that cocoon and had it be my early tomb
You lost your mothers trust
Tell her I am sorry for everything when I'm dust

How Are You Feeling?
04:41

Softly spoken words
Now to feel the curse of having oceans between us
Now is it real love?
Known for a long time
Still dream of seeing your life underlining mine
In the riviera light
Well maybe it's alright
If just for tonight
I can be alone and feel alright
It's all in time
How are you feeling now?
These days I'm doing just fine
Today I'll be just fine
I need a little more time
Held within a frame is some kind of painting of a man I used to be with colour around me
Why it's been a long time
Say do you want me in your life?
When you know it's not right
Illuminate her life
How will she define me when I'm gone
In the riviera light
How can I still hold her in my arms

Neon Spring

I will sleep when I'm dead
But what will I do until then
Walking in circles around your warmth
Is it all just a failure of this form?
These cathedrals of loneliness are quite the routine
With Christmas skies floating on clouds
With spring in my mind well must i have it all now
Is a man just to wander for his life?
Well say, what is that sound?
Shooting stars roll over the clouds
I can see no better way to disappear and be on my way
Say, look what I've found
The way the sky is crumbling down
Life can be beautiful in a silent way
But I still need a harmony
On the eve of something beautiful
Perhaps in Autumn, Perhaps in Spring
The weather change won't mean anything
We'll hold our breath no longer
For we can sing
Throw your arms around your sun
And bare with its burn a little while
It's winter, It's summer, it's cold interior
I'll show you what it is to you
Inferior.

Some say I
Have resigned
To this silent part of my own mind
Cause what if life is a waste of time?
Just carousels left spinning all the time
(least that's what it feels like)
I still look in your eyes
I still look in your eyes
I still look in your eyes from time to time
