that i almost believe that they're real
i've been living so long with my pictures of you that i almost believe that the pictures are all i can feel remembering you standing quiet in the rain as i ran to your heart to be near and we kissed as the sky fell in holding you close how i always held close in your fear remembering you running soft through the night you were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow and screamed at the make-believe screamed at the sky and you finally found all your courage to let it all go remembering you fallen into my arms crying for the death of your heart you were stone white so delicate lost in the cold you were always so lost in the dark remembering you how you used to be slow drowned you were angels so much more than everything hold for the last time then slip away quietly open my eyes but i never see anything if only i'd thought of the right words i could have held on to your heart if only i'd thought of the right words i wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you looking so long at these pictures of you but i never hold on to your heart looking so long for the words to be true but always just breaking apart my pictures of you there was nothing in the world that i ever wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart there was nothing in the world that i ever wanted more than to never feel the breaking apart all my pictures of you |

I'm so glad you came
I'm so glad you remembered To see how we're ending Our last dance together Expectant, too punctual But prettier than ever I really believe that this time it's forever But older than me now More constant, more real And the fur and the mouth and the innocence turned To hair and contentment That hangs in a basement A woman now standing Where once there was only a girl I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered The walking through walls In the heart of December The blindness of happiness Of falling down laughing And I really believed That this time was forever But Christmas falls late now Flatter and colder And never as bright As when we used to fall All this in an instant Before I can kiss you A woman now standing Where once there was only a girl I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered To see how we're ending Our last dance together Reluctantly, cautiously But prettier than ever I really believe that this time it's forever But Christmas falls late now Flatter and colder And never as bright As when we used to fall And even if we drink I don't think we would kiss In the way that we did When the woman was only a girl |

on candystripe legs the spiderman comes
softly through the shadow of the evening sun stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead looking for the victim shivering in bed searching out fear in the gathering gloom and suddenly! a movement in the corner of the room! and there is nothing i can do when i realise with fright that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight! quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps closer now closer to the foot of the bed and softer than shadow and quicker than flies his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes "be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy don't struggle like that or i will only love you more for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight" and i feel like i'm being eaten by a thousand million shivering furry holes and i know that in the morning i will wake up in the shivering cold and the spiderman is always hungry... |

You shatter me
Your grip on me A hold on me, so dull it kills You stifle me Infectious sense of hopelessness And prayers for rain I suffocate I breathe in dirt And nowhere shines, but desolate and drab The hours all spent on killing time again All waiting for the rain You fracture me Your hands on me A touch so plain, so stale it kills You strangle me Entangle me in hopelessness And prayers for rain I deteriorate I live in dirt And nowhere glows but drearily and tired The hours all spent on killing time again All waiting for the rain You fracture me Your hands on me A touch so plain, so stale it kills You strangle me Entangle me in hopelessness And prayers for rain Prayers for rain Prayers for rain Prayers for rain |

Kiss me goodbye
Pushing out before I sleep Can't you see I try? Swimming the same deep water as you is hard "The shallow drowned lose less than we" you breathe The strangest twist upon your lips "And we shall be together" "Kiss me goodbye Bow your head and join with me" And face pushed deep, reflections meet The strangest twist upon your lips And disappear, the ripples clear And laughing break against your feet And laughing break the mirror sweet "So we shall be together" "Kiss me goodbye" Pushing out before I sleep It's lower now and slower now The strangest twist upon your lips But I don't see and I don't feel But tightly hold up silently My hands before my fading eyes And in my eyes, your smile The very last thing before I go The very last thing before I go The very last thing before I go I will kiss you I will kiss you I will kiss you forever on nights like this I will kiss you I will kiss you And we shall be together |

Oh, I miss the kiss of treachery
The shameless kiss of vanity The soft and the black and the velvety Up tight against the side of me And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed And run in thickening streams of greed As bit by bit, it starts the need To just let go, my party piece Oh, I miss the kiss of treachery The aching kiss before I feed The stench of a love for younger meat And the sound it makes when it cuts in deep The holding up on bended knees The addiction of duplicities As bit by bit, it starts the need To just let go, my party piece I never said I would stay to the end So I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery Stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery Songs about happiness, murmured in dreams And we both of us knew how the ending would be So it's all come back round to breaking apart again Breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again Making it up behind my back again Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again Holding it up behind my head again Cut in deep, to the heart of bone again Round and round and round It's coming apart again Over and over and over Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces I'll pull out my heart and I'll feed it to anyone Crying for sympathy Crocodiles cry For the love of the crowd and three cheers from everyone Dropping through sky Through the glass of the roof Through the roof of your mouth Through the mouth of your eye Through the eye of the needle It's easier for me To get closer to Heaven than ever feel whole again I never said I would stay to the end I knew I would leave you with babies and everything Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery And stains on the carpet and stains on the memory Songs about happiness, murmured in dreams And we both of us knew how the end always is How the end always is How the end always is How the end always is How the end always is How the end always is Always Always |

Hey, hey
Just one more and I'll walk away All the everything you win Turns to nothing today And I forget how to move When my mouth is this dry And my eyes are bursting hearts In a blood-stained sky Ah, it was sweet It was wild And oh, how we I trembled Stuck in honey Honey, cling to me So just one more Just one more go Inspire in me the desire in me To never go home Ah, just one more And I'll walk away All the everything you win Turns to nothing today So just one more Just one more go Inspire in me the desire in me To never go home To never go home |

Hopelessly drift in the eyes of the ghost again
Down on my knees and my hands in the air again Pushing my face in the memory of you again But I never know if it's real Never know how I wanted to feel Never quite said what I wanted to say to you Never quite managed the words to explain to you Never quite knew how to make them believable And now the time has gone Another time undone Never quite said what I wanted to say to you Never quite managed the words to explain to you Never quite knew how to make them believable And now the time has gone Another time undone Hopelessly fighting the devil futility Feeling the monster climb deeper inside of me Feeling him gnawing my heart away hungrily I'll never lose this pain Never dream of you again |
