It’s a bad day.
It’s a train ride.
It’s a bad day.
You’re my medicine
It’s a snow day.
It’s a full moon.
It’s a snow day.
When’d you get down to my bones?
Where’ll I find that wishing stone?
The beads, the records,
All the calls, and the drinks alone.
First by mind, then by music you’ll make this all less confusing.
It’s a slow dive down,
A fast distraction,
A strange fall forward
My lame reaction.
It’s a bad day.
It’s a long ride.
It s a bad day.
You’re my medicine
It’s a sinking feeling,
Pulls me through the seat of chairs.
When will you come rescue me,
Find solace, and then take me there?
You’ll say, ’you re not too tired for this life,
And it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice.
You’re not too tired for this life, and
It’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice. ’
When’ d you get down to my bones?
Where’ ll I find that wishing stone?
The beads, the records, all the calls, and the drinks alone.
It’s a bad day.
Two miles to go.
It’s a bad day.
You’re my medicine
You’ll say, ’you’re not too tired for this life,
And it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice
You’re not too tired for this life, and it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice.
You’re not too tired for this life, and it’s not gonna matter if you fall down twice.
If you fall down, if you fall down.’
You’re my medicine x4
My medicine.
My medicine.

Skeleton boy by the side of the road.
He warned me, he told me;
He said, ’there’s this woman, she’s a hurricane,
She will heal your heart up, and she is hurrying.’
She said, ’don’t look for holidays.
Don’t look, just run away.
Go suffocate, and choke your own cry.
Go where the water,
Where the water, seeps from the pink sky.
But behead this woman, she’s a hurricane,
She will heal your heart up, and she is hurrying.
Remember your reflection in a pool, in a puddle.’
And the leaves sped top-speed towards me,
And my image was muddled.
I’m a lightheaded wonder,
Don’t you see my mind slow down?
I’m a lightheaded wonder
Don’t you see my mind slow down?
Slow down.
I’ve compassion for strangers,
An affinity for danger
Won’t you be my sacrifice?
I’m a lightheaded wonder
Don’t you see my mind slow down for you?
And for you? ’
No you’re a headless woman, you’re a hurricane.
You will heal my heart up?
No, I will heal my own heart up, because you are hurting.
Cause I’m a sunburn slap upon your arm,
I’ll twist you til you break,
And you’re a hurricane.

Come back home where the three orange suns
They set in the bottom of the globe yeah now.
Come back home where the three purple moons
They set in the bottom of the water yeah now.
You know that I've been there, and
I think you should beware; that
You know they all had faces too,
Like me.
Now hadrian's wall, will not return,
It's crumbled to the land of nowhere;
No one sees it, no one hears it anymore.
And it scrapes my hands across the pavement,
Just to think about it,
Like the world around you does.
And you put on your crown, and your emeralds, and your rubies,
And you but on your crown.
Yeah, you put on your crown, and your emeralds and your rubies
But you can't run away like dorothy and her dog.
Put on your crown, and your emeralds, and your rubies,
And you put on your crown.
Yeah, you put on your crown, and your emeralds and your rubies
But you can't run away just to come back.
Come back.
Come back home
Where the blue lights glow, and
The red ones glow 'til tomorrow yeah now.
Come back home
Where the three purple moons
They set in the bottom of the water yeah now.
You know that I've been there, and
I think you should beware; that
You know they all had faces too,


Like me.
When the wrinkles in your wrist are yelling,
'it won't hurt a bit!'
But you know it will,
'cause tears and excuses wipe you off your feet
Yeah tears and excuses wipe you off your feet
Like the world around you does.
And it wipes you off your feet, like the world around you does.
And it scrapes you hands across the pavement,
Like the world around you does.
And you wish the world would,
Yeah you wish the world would change.
And you wish the world would,
Yeah you wish the world would change.
Change.
Change.
Now hadrian's wall, will not return,
It's crumbled to the land of nowhere;
No one sees it, no one hears it anymore.
And it scrapes my hands across the pavement,
Just to think about it,
Like the world around you does.
And you put on your crown, and your emeralds, and your rubies,
And you but on your crown.
Yeah, you put on your crown, and your emeralds and your rubies
But you can't run away like dorothy and her dog.
Put on your crown, and your emeralds, and your rubies,
Put on your crown.
And you put on your crown, and your emeralds and your rubies
But you can't run away just to come back.
Come back.
Come back.

Sorry sir I stole your money
Sorry sir I feel but it's so
so twisted So unreal
It was what I'd heard of
And what I didn't have
But I cannot give
what I do not have
And I cannot take
what I do not have
I can't take it
Don't stultify
Don't hold me high
Don't stultify
Don't hold me high

Too many things held precious
Too many things held dear
That's what I hate
That's what I fear
Too much to ask for
May leave me feeling lonely
But too little
leaves me nothing nothing
The drone in your voice
and the fly on the wall said
It's over it's over it's over it is
What do I wish for you
what do I wish
It's over it's over it is
Are we still solemn and bleeding
Are we still swimming to water
that was wet
You can't give away certain things
that you get

From the outside To the inside
I couldn't tell you
how it really was
There has to be more on one hand
Keep your head above water
on the other the other
The drone in your voice
and the fly on the wall said
It's over it's over it's over it is
What do I wish for you
what do I wish
It's over it's over it is
Are we still solemn and bleeding
Are we still swimming to water
that was already wet
I can forgive but I won't forget

I'll wish for you
I'll plead and I'll steal
Hold me precious hold me dear
I'll wish for you
I'll sing and I'll feel
Don't stultify
don't hold me high

Like a Gothic staple a last good bye
One way to float is if you die
And it's over it's over it's over
It's over it's over it's over
It's over it's over

In an open room that echoes well, this is where I can tell you everything.
This is where I meet my muse, and it feeds me.
This is how I buy the sun, and it feeds me.
This is why I burn this candle, I light it so that I can handle this.
You're so still,
You're so safe,
Appear severe,
You are so nonchalant.
I'm so still
I'm so safe,
Appear severe,
I am not.
This is where I meet my muse, and it feeds me.
This is how I buy the sun, and it feeds me.
I told David I won't die, and this is how I watch the sky,
That is why I burn this candle, I light it so that I can handle this.
You're so still,
You save face.
Try to erase all you feel inside.
Stand still,
I save face,
I misplace all the feelings I can't hide.
Of all the rooms I've loved before it's you I love inside this room
They test me can I train my evil eye to see like they do -
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes.
Of all the rooms I've loved before,
It's you I love.
This is how I meet my muse.

Days were different when you counted them in hours.
There were some things that she never wanted again.
In fragmented words, too weak to hear,
There were some things that she never wanted again.
Like: do you want to be the man she once knew?
Do you want to be the woman she knew too.
Days were different when you counted them in hours.
There were some things that she never wanted again.
Like, she won't talk of blocks, and of time,
And of clocks and how they bind.
And the days that have passed so fast that you might
Bring the past to the present, and say it is your future life.
I'm waking up from a bed of past lives lived,


'cause I'm living my life 'half-life, half-lived.'
Days were different when you counted them in hours.
There were some things that she never wanted again.
In fragmented words, too weak to hear,
There were some things that she never wanted again.
Like: do you want to be the man she once knew?
Do you want to be the woman she knew too.
Do you want to be the woman
She was you.
Days are different now,
They are ours.
And days are different now,
They are mine.

I could be trembling when I talk to you.
I could be making up all sorts of things that are not true.
I could tell a half truth, but I can not tell a lie.
I could tell a story that is ten feet high.
My stomach flutters, and I feel sometimes ashamed;
I'm a castle with broken shutters and
this is not a guessing game.
I could make a plea so that you and I could be we, and
I could say, "Oh, it's a must that you and I should be us."
All the answers I could guess, and you would be so impressed,
but I would never get a "yes", cause I have not the guts to guess.
My stomach flutters, and I feel sometimes ashamed;
I'm a castle with broken shutters and
this is not a guessing game.
I could be listening, but this is not a guessing game.
I'd guess all the answers, but this is not the same.
I could be trembling, I could be afraid,
I could be wallowing, wallowing when you think I've got it made.

do you eat sleep
do you breathe me anymore
do you sleep do you
count sheep anymore
do you sleep anymore

do you take plight
on my tongue like lead
do you fall gracefully
into bed anymore

I saw you as you walked
across my room
you looked out the window
you looked at the moon
and you sat on the corner of my bed
and you smoked with the ghost
in the back of my head
I don't know and I don't care
if I ever will see you again
I don't know and I don't care
if I ever will be there

do you eat sleep
do you breathe me anymore
do you sleep
do you keep me anymore

you kick my foot under the table
I kick you back
I can't say i'm able to
stand for you or
fall for you ever again
wish for a perfect setting
wishing that I am letting you
take me where you want me
all over again
you can't give yourself
absolutely to someone else
I don't know and I don't care
if I ever will see you again
I don't know and I don't care
if I ever will be there
I saw you as you walked
across my room
you looked out the window you
looked at the moon
and you sat on the corner of my bed
and you smoked with the ghost
in the back of my head
do you eat sleep
do you breathe me anymore
do you sleep
do you count sheep anymore
do you sleep anymore

I don't know and I don't care
if I ever will be there
will be there

I grew up where throwing rocks in canyons is not allowed.
I grew up where growing up makes me awkward and proud.
I grew up were it was a difficult drive to the airport,
And I hope you have a good ride, cause my mother, you know,
She doesn't like to fly.
I grew up were it was a difficult drive to the airport,
But I grew up.
School, school, swimming pool,
I walk barefoot home from school.
School, school.


And mother, that's a hard word, the things that you're leaving,
The things that you're missing, the things you don't know.
And father, that's a hard word, the things that you're needing,
The things that you're missing, the things that don't show.
How happy do you have to be to be happy?
How sad do you have to be to be sad?
Do you have to be sad?
Do you have to be?
I grew up where throwing rocks in canyons is not allowed.
