The sky glows
I see it shining when my eyes close I hear your warnings but we both know I'm gonna look at it again Don't wait, Don't wait The road is now a sudden sea And suddenly, you're deep enough To lay your armor down To lay your armor down To lay your armor down You get one look I'll show you something that the knife took. A bit too early for my own good Now let's not speak of it again Don't wait, Don't wait The road is now a sudden sea And suddenly, you're deep enough To lay your armor down To lay your armor down To lay your armor down Don't wait, Don't wait The lights will flash and fade away The days will pass you by Don't wait To lay your armor down [x5] |

Oh sweet lungs don't fail me now
Your burning has turned into fear Drills me in my every step, I'm moving quick but you're always on my heels Just one more breath, I beg you please Just one more step, my knees are weak My heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive My heart is sturdy but it needs you Breathe, don't you want to breathe? I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need My capillaries scream, there's nothing left to feed on My body needs a reason to cross that line Will you carry me there one more time? Steady lungs, don't fail me now I feel you bursting, but you won't let me die Fill me up with every step I'm feeling sick, but I'm leaving it behind Just one long breath I beg you please Just one more step you are not weak My legs are sturdy but they need you to survive My heart is sturdy but I need you Breathe, don't you want to breathe? I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need My capillaries scream, there's nothing left to feed on My body needs a reason to cross that line Will you carry me there once more? (Once More?) I have reason to believe that I have victories to taste I can feel them on my teeth, upon my lips and in my chest I can roll them on my tongue, they are more supple than defeat I feel the tension in my lungs and every move is filled by my resolve to Breathe, don't you want to breathe? I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need My capillaries scream, there's nothing left to feed on My body needs a reason to cross that line Will you carry me there one more time? |

We watch the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week Before the gold and the glimmer have been replaced Another sun soaked season fades away You have stolen my heart You have stolen my heart Invitation only grand farewells Crash the best one of the best ones Clear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnight You have stolen my heart You have stolen my heart And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration One good stretch before our hibernation Our dreams assured and we all will sleep well, sleep well Sleep well Sleep well Sleep well You have stolen (my) You have stolen (my) You have stolen my heart I watch you spin around in your highest heels You are the best one of the best ones We all look like we feel You have stolen my You have stolen my You have stolen my heart |

The air is visible around you, rising up and off your lips in slow currents
And i watch as your face is framed in its slow currents Drifting curls a trailing path A long drag becomes a dress of blue and ash If it is born in flames then we should let it burn Burn as brightly as we can And if its gotta end then let it end in flames Let it burn all the way down The air is visceral around us, turning in its simple steps on slow currents And i watch as it pirouettes and spins in slow motion A long drag becomes a a slow dance and a halo around her If it is born in flames then we should let it burn Burn as brightly as we can And if its gotta end then let it end in flames Let it burn all the way down, all the way down And if this is ever meant to end, then i hope it ends where it began So hot with love, we burned our hands If this is ever meant to end, then i hope it ends where it began So hot with love, it burns our hands If it is born in flames then we should let it burn Burn as brightly as we can If its gotta end then let it end in flames Let it burn, let it burn If its gotta end let it burn If its gotta end let it burn |

Stand down son, start resting easy
You've done your service, i am proud to have you home and see you safe, it's so good You look so strong in that picture on the mantle you sent your mom when you were gone But you look scared now, hollow eyed When are you coming When are you coming back where you belong I swear that it's safe here, there's nothing to fear at all Come on back where you belong, the pressure releases if you just let down your guard Everything rests on you You know that feeling well, the ball is falling, Falling, falling, so far from a close call Your injuries aren't mortal wounds, The only thing that's killing you is what you saw, What you couldn't stop But you're not the one i blame, it wasn't your mistake You're safe now so come on back where you belong I swear that it's safe here, there's nothing to fear at all Come on back where you belong, The pressure releases if you just let down your guard It's the simple things dad, i'm not hurt, i'm not dead, I just should be where my friends are lying And i didn't hate those that i killed but they're all dead now But i'm here alive with satellites and friday nights And no one to judge me for the things that i've done and all So how can i live with that? Back where i belong Take me back where i belong, you swear that it's safe here Theres nothing to fear at all Take me back where i belong, the pressure releases I just let down my guard |

She smiled in a big way, the way a girl like that smiles
When the world is hers and she held your eyes Out in the breezeway down by the shore in the lazy summer And she pulled you in, and she bit your lip, and she made you hers She looked deep into you as you lay together quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer But you've already lost When you only had barely enough to hang on And she combed your hair, and she kissed your teeth And she made you better than you'd been before She told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer And she told you, laughing down to her core, so she would not cry as she lay in your lap She said "nobody here can live forever, quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer" But you've already lost When you only had barely enough to hang on She said, "no one is alone the way you are alone" And you held her looser than you would have if you ever could have known Some things tie your life together, slender threads and things to treasure Days like that should last and last and last But you've already lost When you only had barely enough of her to hang on |

We are the only ones who feel it
Tonight we drink, tonight we dance with all the last ones who can hear it We're calling in whispers, we're tired of waiting We'll take what we want and leave, leave what we know behind We are still dreamers in our dead sleep, naked and tangled, twisted in love And tonight we are the only ones who feel it So let it last all night, so let it last all night Let the fire surround us, let it all cave in, let it all burn wild We are leaving it all behind, we are leaving it all behind Heaven is here We are tangled and brave We are leaking and saved When heaven's not waiting, it's spilling its secrets It's right here between us, and we've no other choice but believe So let it last all night Naked and tangled and twisted in love And tonight we are the only ones who feel it Heaven is here And tonight we are the only ones who feel it |

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption winding in and winding out the shine of it has caught my eye And roped me in So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing I am captivated, i am [chorus] vindicated i am selfish i am wrong i am right i swear i'm right i swear i knew it all along And i am flawed But i am cleaning up so well i am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself So clear like the diamond in your ring cut to mirror your intentions Oversized and overwhelmed the shine of which has caught my eye And rendered me so isolated, so motivated i am certain now that i am So turn up the corners of your lips part them and feel my finger tips trace the moment, fall forever defense is paper thin just one touch and i'd be in too deep now to ever swim against the current So let me slip away So let me slip against the current so let me slip away Slight hope it dangles on a string like slow spinning redemption... |

This is a forgery
This is a forgery Every single word is plagiarized Copied twice and thrice inscribed This is a forgery There is a path, and to get where it's leading You gotta be sharp, and never bend easy This is an enemy This is an enemy Compliments and chemistry Cavalier and so charming This isn't everything This isn't everything I had a fit You had a feeling There was a path, and to get where it's leading You had to be shot, you couldn't swerve side to side I was a razor, and you were a straight line This is a travesty This is a travesty Every sentiment has been contrived Palatable and so refined The sugar sweet to appetite I had a fit You had a feeling There was a path, and to get where it's leading You had to be shot, you couldn't swerve side to side I was a razor, and you were a straight line This is a forgery This is a forgery Every single word is plagiarized Copied twice and thrice inscribed This is a forgery And we were looking at the sun shining bright But it was casket black, so we would search all night |

Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep
This air is blessed, you share with me This night is wild, so calm and dull These hearts they race from self-control Your legs are smooth as they graze mine We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all. My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me So won't you kill me, so I die happy My heart is yours to fill or burst to break or bury, or wear as jewelery Which ever you prefer The words are hushed lets not get busted, just lay entwined here undiscovered. Safe in here from all the stupid questions.. "hey did you get some?" Man, that is so dumb. Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear, so we can get some. My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me So won't you kill me, so I die happy My heart is yours to fill or burst to break or bury, or wear as jewelery Which ever you prefer Hands down this is the best date I can ever remember I'll always remember the sound of the stereo The dim of the soft lights, the scent of your hair That you twirled in your fingers And the time on the clock when we realized it was so late And this walk that we shared together The streets were wet and the gate was locked So I jumped it and let you in And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist And you kissed me like you meant it And I knew, that you meant it That you meant it, that you meant it And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it |

Thanks for waiting this long to show yourself, Because now that I can see you, I don't think you're worth a second glance. So much for all the promises you've made. It served well and now you're gone And they're wasted on me. So much for your enduring sense of charm. It served well and now you're gone And it's wasted on me.

Carry this picture for luck
kept in a locket, tucked in your collar close to your chest. Make it a secret shown to the closest friends. Meet me at quarter to seven, the sun will still shine then at this time of year. We'll head to the inlet and we'll share a bottle there. And color the coast with your smile, it's the most genuine thing that i've ever seen. I was so lost, but now I believe. And follow me south of the big docks where they tether the boats the rich men revere. They're so important, they hire our fathers to steer And down to the edge of the water where we'll spill our guts and we'll name our fears, I'll give you this picture keep it and don't be scared. And color the coast with your smile, it's the most genuine thing that I've ever seen. I was so lost, but now I believe in the coast, your smile is the most genuine thing that I've ever seen I was so lost but now I believe. Now I believe. Now I believe. Now I believe. |

I catalog these steps now,decisive and intentioned,
precise and patterned specifically to yours. I'm talented at breathing,especially exhaling, so that my chest will rise and fall with yours. I'm careful not to wake you,fearing conversation. It's better just to hold you and keep you pacified. I'm talented with reason,I cover all the angles. I can fail before I EVER try. Try to understand,theres an old mistake that fools will make. And i'm the king of them,pushing everything that's good away. So won't you hold me now? (I will not bend.I will not break.) Won't you hold me now? (I will not bend.I will not break.) I am fairly agile. I can bend and not break. Or I can break and take it with a smile. I am so resilient. I recover quickly. I'll convince you soon that i am fine. Try to understand,theres an old mistake that fools will make. And i'm the king of them,pushing everything that's good away. So won't you hold me now? (I will not bend.I will not break.) Won't you hold me now? (For you I rise for you I fall.) Try to understand,theres an old mistake that fools will make. And i'm the king of them,pushing everything that's good away.

Morning calls for pain relief A line above the step beneath The worst that you could do And the best that you could hope for Is hardly the best Tepid water chase the pills With turpentine and chamomile And don't get cheap with the wine You need to be up all of the time Shield your eyes, conceal your lies. Don't blink, everyone's watching. They'll think you're up to something. They need for you to be everything that they cannot be themselves. |

Hopelessness is your cell Since you've drawn out these lines Are you protected from trying times? Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all Oh Lord, now, there you go with hope again Oh, you're so sure I'll be leaving in the end Dig a ditch deep enough To keep you clear of the sun You've been burned more than once You don't think much of trust Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all Oh Lord, now, there you go with hope again But I'll be sure your secret is safe with me Oh, you're so sure I'll be leaving in the end Treating me like I'm already gone But I'm not, I will stay where you are always I will stay, I will stay, I will stay (all of now) [repeat to fade out] |

Never saw it coming did you? Its easy to be suprised with both your eyes sewn closed Handeld with great percision, another thoughtless execution You're the subject of this exhibition A willing cadaver, a willing cadaver. Scalpel, sutured. Made whole again. These cuts are leaving creases Trace the scars, fit the peices Tell your story, you don't need to say a word. Call off the calvary, can't save a wretch like me. Clean this with kerosene. If you can't leave it be might as well make it bleed. Scalpel, sutured. Made whole again. Your wires are frayed, can't fire right You look better when out of sight You were not made to stand and fight There's something better wrong with you Your pulse is anemic, you're tired of the fire You're bruising too easy and falling behind And no one is waiting for you. And no one is waiting for you. And no one is waiting for you. Call off your quarantine, can't save the rest from me Clean this with kerosene. If you can't leave it be might as well make it bleed.

Pacific Sun, you should have warned us, it gets so cold here.
And the night can freeze, before you set it on fire. And our flares go unnoticed. Dimminished, faded just as soon as they are fired. We are, we are, intrigued. We are, we are, invisible. Oh, how we've shouted, how we've screamed, take notice, take interest, take me with you. But all our fears fall on deaf ears. Tonight, they're burning the roads they built to lead us to the light. And blinding our hearts with their shining lies, while closing our caskets cold and tight. But I'm dying to live. Pacific sun, you should have warned us, these heights are dizzying, and the climb can kill you long before the fall. And our trails go unmarked and unmapped and covered just as soon as they are crossed. We are, we are, intriguing. We are, we are, desirable. Oh how we've shouted, how we've screamed, take notice, take interest, take me with you. But all our fears fall on deaf ears. Tonight, they're burning the roads they built to lead us to the light. And blinding our hearts with their shining lies, while closing our caskets cold and tight. But I'm dying to live. |

Where I would impress you, Where every single word I said Would come out insightful or brave, or smooth, or charming And you'd want to call me..

So she says,
"Everyone's going to the party Won't you come if I come with a friend for your friend? I'd be so pleased to see you Out of the classroom, Wearing the smile that I'll bring you. I was hoping to learn a few things, like........ Do you do you like dishing the dirt On the whole class, Talking the big smack, Or playing the fool? Wearing all of the latest fashions Or bucking the new trends? Wearing your old threads Or if you like coffee in the evening. These are a few things, That I'd like to know; That I'd like to know." So I say, "I've been scheduled to work, But I'll call in. And, my friend isn't busy, He'd be happy to join me. And maybe my friend and your friend Will hit it off? Or, maybe we will? I'm dying to know........ Do you, do you like dreaming Of things so impossible? Or only the practical, Or ever the wild? Waiting through all of your Bad, bad days; Just to end them With someone you care about? But do you like making out, And long drives and brown eyes And guys that just don't quite fit in? "Do you like them?" "So, yes, I'll see you there." |

She fixes her lips, they
always looks perfect... Never a smudge line, Never too much. I try on my blue shirt... She told me she liked it, once. She wonders what I'll wear, She knows just what she'll wear, She always wears blue. So sneakers or flipflops? I'm starting to panic. Remember she asked you, "Remember to breathe, And everything will be okay." Okay...Okay... Alright...Alright... Alright...Alright... Alright...Alright... |

Breathe in for luck breathe
in so deep this air is blessed you share with me this night is wild so calm and dull these hearts they race from self control your legs are smooth as they graze mine we're doing fine we're doing nothing at all My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me So won't you kill me so I die happy My heart is yours to fill or burst to break or bury or wear as jewelery which ever you prefer The words are hushed let's not get busted just lay entwined here undiscovered Safe from the earth and all the stupid questions hey did you get some Man that is so dumb Stay quiet stay near stay close they can't hear so we can get some My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me So won't you kill me so I die happy My heart is yours to fill or burst to break or bury or wear as jewelery which ever you prefer Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember always remember the sound of the stereo the dim of the soft lights the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late and the walk that we shared together The street was wet and the gate was locked so I jumped it and I'll let you in and you stood at the door with your hands on my waist and you kissed me but you meant it I knew that you meant it that you meant it that you meant it and I knew that you meant it that you meant it |

I heard about your trip
I heard about your souvenirs I heard about the cool breeze and the cool nights And the cool guys that you spent them with I guess I should have heard of them from you I guess I should have heard of them from you Well don't you see, don't you see That the charade is over And all the "best deceptions" and the "Clever cover story" awards go to you So kiss me hard 'Cause this will be the last time that I let you You will be back someday And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips Will be of service to keeping you away I heard about your regrets I heard that you were feeling sorry I heard from someone that you wish you could Set things right between us Well, I guess I should have heard of that from you I guess I should have heard of that from you Well don't you see, don't you see That the charade is over And all the "best deceptions" and the "Clever cover story" awards go to you So kiss me hard 'Cause this will be the last time that I let you You will be back someday And this awkward kiss that screams of other people's lips Will be of service to keeping you away To keeping you away I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers I'll be alright when my hands get warm Ignoring the phone--I'd rather say nothing I'd rather you never heard my voice You're calling too late, too late to be gracious You do not warrant long goodbyes You're calling too late You're calling too late You're calling too late |

This ruined puzzle
is beige with the pieces all face down. So the placing goes slowly. The pictures of anything other than it's meant to be. But the hours they creep The patterns repeat Don't be concerned You know I'll be fine on my own. I never said "Don't Go" (don't go) But I've hidden a note It's pressed between pages that you've marked to find your way back. It says...... "Does he ever get the girl? " But what if the pages stay pressed The chapters unfinished The stories too dull to unfold? Does he ever get the girl? This basement's a coffin I'm buried alive I'll die in here just to be safe. I'll die in here just to be safe. 'Cause you're gone I get nothing and you're off with barely a sigh I never said goodbye. But I've hidden a note It's pressed between pages That you've marked to find your way back It says... "Does he ever get the girl?" But I've hidden a note That's pressed between pages That you'll read if you're so inclined Does he ever get the girl? But the hours they creep The patterns repeat Don't be concerned I know I'll be fine on my own. I never said "Don't Go" (don't go) Does he ever get the girl? |

This is where I say I've had enough
no one should ever feel the way that I feel now. A walking open wound, a trophy display of bruises And I don't believe that I'm getting any better. Any better. Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring And I'm thinking awful things Pretty sure that few would notice. And this apartment is starving for an argument. Anything at all to break the silence. Wandering this house like I've never wanted out And this is about as social as I get now. And I'm throwing away the letters that I am writing you Cause they would never do, I would never do. Never Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring And I'm thinking awful things Pretty sure that few would notice. And this apartment is starving for an argument. Anything at all to break the silence. Well don't be a liar, Don't say that everything's working when everything's broken. And you smile like a saint but you curse like a sailor And you might say the jokes on me. well I'm not laughing You're not leaving Who do I think I am kidding, When I'm the only one locked in this cell. Waiting here with hopes the phone will ring And I'm thinking awful things Pretty sure that few would notice. And this apartment is starving for an argument. Anything at all to break the silence. So don't be a liar Don't say that everything's working when everything's broken. And you smile like a saint but you curse like a sailor And you might say the jokes on me. |

Which of the bold faced lies will we use?
I hope that you're happy, you really deserve it, this will be the best for us both in the end. But your taste still lingers on my lips like I just placed them upon yours and I starve I starve for you. But this new diet's liquid and dulling to the senses. And it's crude but it will do. Which of the standard lines will we use? I've been meaning to call you. I've just been so busy. We'll catch up soon. Let's make it a point to. But your taste still lingers on my lips like I just placed them upon yours and I starve I starve for you. But this new diet's liquid and dulling to the senses. And it's crude but it will do.

So quiet.
Another wasted night The television steals the conversation. Exhale. Another wasted breath again it goes unnoticed. Please tell me you're just feeling tired, cause if it's more than that I fear that I might break. Out of touch. Out of time. Please send me anything but signals that are mixed, cause I can't read your rolling eyes. Out of touch. Are we out of time? Closed lipped another goodnight kiss is robbed of all its passion. Your grip another time to slack has left me feeling empty Please tell me you're just feeling tired, cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break. Out of touch. Out of time Please send me anything but signals that are mixed, cause I can't read your rolling eyes. Out of touch. Are we out of time? I'll wait until tomorrow. Maybe you'll feel better then, maybe we'll be better then. So what's another day when I can't bear these nights of thoughts of going on without you? This mood of yours is temporary. It seems worth the wait to see you smile again. Out of the corner of my eye won't be the only way you're looking at me then. So quiet. Another wasted night the television steals the conversation. Exhale. Another wasted breath again it goes unnoticed. |

Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself
And covered with a perfect shell Such a charming beautiful exterior. Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes, perfect posture But you're barely scraping by, but you're barely scraping by. Well this is one time, well this is one time That you can't fake it hard enough to please everyone Or anyone at all, or anyone at all. And the grave that you refuse to leave The refuge that you've built to flee The places that you've come to fear the most Is the place that you have come to fear the most. Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself And hidden in the public eye Such a stellar monument to loneliness.

Walking away.
It's not the same as running Is it to you now That you've run this in the ground? and you say "Take this, This medicine is just what you deserve Swallow, choke, and die. And this bitter pill is leaving you with such an angry mouth One that's void of all discretion, such an awful tearing sound With its measure only equaled by the power of my stare Glaring over you and over you, this feeling of despair Is never wearing out. It's wearing off And it's leaving you with such a heavy heart And a head to match The bottle is waiting The cap is twisted, begging to be used And so are you. And this bitter pill is leaving you with such an angry mouth One that's void of all discretion, such an awful tearing sound With its measure only equaled by the power of my stare Glaring over you and over you, this feeling of despair Is never wearing out. Wearing out, wearing out. |

So she says,
"Everyone's going to the party Won't you come if I come with a friend for your friend? I'd be so pleased to see you Out of the classroom, Wearing the smile that I'll bring you. I was hoping to learn a few things, like........ Do you do you like dishing the dirt On the whole class, Talking the big smack, Or playing the fool? Wearing all of the latest fashions Or bucking the new trends? Wearing your old threads Or if you like coffee in the evening. These are a few things, That I'd like to know; That I'd like to know." So I say, "I've been scheduled to work, But I'll call in. And, my friend isn't busy, He'd be happy to join me. And maybe my friend and your friend Will hit it off? Or, maybe we will? I'm dying to know........ Do you, do you like dreaming Of things so impossible? Or only the practical, Or ever the wild?

You're wasting time if your're fishing round here." And I said, "You must be mistaken, 'Cause I'm not fooling. This feeling is real." And she said, she said, "You've gotta be crazy. What do you take me for, some kind of easy mark? You got wits, you got looks, you got passion, But I swear that you've got me all wrong, all wrong, But you've got me." I'll be true I'll be useful I'll be cavalier I'll be yours, my dear And I'll belong to you if you just let me through This is easy as lovers go So don't complicate it by hesitating This is wonderful as loving goes This is tailor made What's the sense of waiting? I said, "I've gotta be honest. I've been waiting for you all my life. For so long I thought I wasn't gonna settle down, But just seeing you makes me think twice. The feel of you here makes me sane. I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my sight." You've got wits, you've got looks, you've got passion, But are you brave enough to leave with me tonight Tonight, tonight You've got me I'll be true I'll be useful I'll be cavalier I'll be yours, my dear And I'll belong to you if you just let me through This is easy as lovers go, So dont complicate it by hesitating. This is wonderful as loving goes, This is tailor made What's the sense of waiting? This is easy as lovers go, So dont complicate it by hesitating. This is wonderful as loving goes, This is tailor made What's the sense of waiting? This is easy as lovers go, So dont complicate it by hesitating.

We went rolling up the coast til there was no more coast to wander
We tried every different road just to see which took us further We were living on the run, but there was no one chasing after We were looking out for love, and we were flirting with disaster While the world fades out We stayed in the sun too long Suffered a terrible burn Now everybody learns from disaster We stayed on the run too long Hoping we'd never return Now everybody learns from disaster We watched the sun burn down into cinders. We turned out into the planes, we turned in when we got tired We slept two across the bench, and we fit three under the covers We had just enough cash left to top the tent and fill the cooler And we lit the van with dreams until the sun turned into cinders And the world fades out We stayed in the sun too long Suffered a terrible burn Now everybody learns from disaster We stayed on the run too long Hoping we'd never return Now everybody learns from disaster We watched the sun burn down We watched the sun burn down We watched the sun burn down into cinders, into cinders We watched the sun burn down We watched the sun burn down into cinders We stayed in the sun too long Suffered a terrible burn Now everybody learns from disaster. We watched the sun burn down We watched the sun burn down into cinders Oh, into cinders Oh We watched the sun burn down We watched the sun burn down into cinders |

Out on the boulevard The sound of an old guitar Is saving you from sinking It's a long way down It's a long way Back like you never broke You tell a dirty joke He touches your leg and thinks he's getting close For now you let him just this once Just for now And just like that - it's over [Chorus] Don't turn away Dry your eyes, dry your eyes Don't be afraid Keep it all inside, all inside When you fall apart Dry your eyes, dry your eyes Life is always hard for the belle of the boulevard In all your silver rings And all your silken things That song you softly sing - is keeping you from breaking It's a long way down It's a long way Back here you never loved You shake the shivers off You take a drink to get your courage up Can you believe it Just this once Just for now And just like that It's over [Chorus] Please hold on - it's alright Please hold on - it's alright Please hold on Down in a local bar Out on the boulevard The sound of an old guitar is saving you [Chorus x2] |

Well I know the trouble when the trouble starts.
I know the signals of a straying heart. I know the stirrings of a double-cross. I see suspicions arise around you. I know the chatter as it starts to creep. I know the walls as they ring and repeat. I know the secrets they were meant to keep. I see suspicions arise. It's a shame, I know, but it all shakes out real slow When the follies of your weekend hang like smoke onto your clothes. And the shame of it grows when you whisper it nice and low. But all the walls have ears my darling, and all bad things get known. And I know about you. I know about you. I know the ceiling when it starts to burn. I know the season when it starts to turn. And I know that the patterns that the wicked learn. And I see suspicions arise around you. I know the curtain and the way it falls. I know the burden and the pain it draws. I know you're sorry for something, But I don't know why. It's a shame, I know, but it all shakes out real slow When the follies of your weekend hang like smoke onto your clothes. And the shame of it grows when you whisper it nice and low (whisper it nice and low). But all the walls have ears my darling, and all bad things get known. And I know about you (I know about you). I know about you. It's a shame, I know, but it all shakes out real slow When the follies of your weekend hang like smoke onto your clothes. And the shame of it grows when you whisper it nice and low (whisper it nice and low). But all the walls have ears my darling, and all bad things get known. And I know about you. I know about you (I know about you). I know about you (I know about you). I know about you. |

A line of strands to mark the trail.
No one said it would be easy. I must admit, I thought that risk was better waged in younger seasons. Years in the cold, burn in my throat. Everything I say burns like cinders. But it's hard to belong to a girl or a song, In the crease of a strangling winter. Strange to be lost Stranger still to be lone in the strings of a twisting line. Along the way the turns are sharp No one said they would be easy I must admit I thought the trip was better in younger seasons. But all these years in the pursuit made a man of a fool Till every word I say is on waver. Why it's hard to belong to a girl Or a song in the case of a selfish believer It's strange to be lost and stranger Still to be lone in the strings in a twisting line It's strange to be lost and stranger Still to be lone in the strings in a twisting line And when the path I have made from the grass to the grave I will love you still And when the sand turns to glass and all That's left is the past and I will love you still. |

Dear Slip these on your tongue Let us see it's a reinvention In angels hands, the medicine, a modern man Wait now Tell me that this isn't over Hang on Just long enough If this is heaven Or if it's just a warning Say you will stay with me Even if it's just til' morning If this is over Then why is it so hard? Just say you will stay with me One more night Stay here And we can start again And we can be made over You'll hear us shouting When you gonna wake up? When you gonna wake up? Scared Well everyone gets scared Just signal when your ready And angels hands seem so steady Seem so steady Wait now Tell me that this isn't over Hang on Just long enough If this is heaven Or if it's just a warning Say you will stay with me Even if it's just til' morning If this is over Then why is it so hard? Just say you will stay with me One more night If your running From your secrets I will make you take them with you I am ready I can take it You don't have to carry them alone There's a way out If you want it To an end or a new beginning You just have to find it on your own If this is heaven Or if it's just a warning Say you will stay with me If this is over Then why is it so hard? Just say you will stay with me One more night One more night One more night One more night (even if its just til' morning) One more night One more night One more night (even if its just til' morning) |

We went rolling up the coast til there was no more coast to wander
We tried every different road just to see which took us further We were living on the run, but there was no one chasing after We were looking out for love, and we were flirting with disaster While the world fades out We stayed in the sun too long Suffered a terrible burn Now everybody learns from disaster We stayed on the run too long Hoping we'd never return Now everybody learns from disaster We watched the sun burn down into cinders. We turned out into the planes, we turned in when we got tired We slept two across the bench, and we fit three under the covers We had just enough cash left to top the tent and fill the cooler And we lit the van with dreams until the sun turned into cinders And the world fades out We stayed in the sun too long Suffered a terrible burn Now everybody learns from disaster We stayed on the run too long Hoping we'd never return Now everybody learns from disaster We watched the sun burn down We watched the sun burn down We watched the sun burn down into cinders, into cinders We watched the sun burn down We watched the sun burn down into cinders We stayed in the sun too long Suffered a terrible burn Now everybody learns from disaster. We watched the sun burn down We watched the sun burn down into cinders Oh, into cinders Oh We watched the sun burn down We watched the sun burn down into cinders |

Down in a local bar Out on the boulevard The sound of an old guitar Is saving you from sinking It's a long way down It's a long way Back like you never broke You tell a dirty joke He touches your leg and thinks he's getting close For now you let him just this once Just for now And just like that - it's over [Chorus] Don't turn away Dry your eyes, dry your eyes Don't be afraid Keep it all inside, all inside When you fall apart Dry your eyes, dry your eyes Life is always hard for the belle of the boulevard In all your silver rings And all your silken things That song you softly sing - is keeping you from breaking It's a long way down It's a long way Back here you never loved You shake the shivers off You take a drink to get your courage up Can you believe it Just this once Just for now And just like that It's over [Chorus] Please hold on - it's alright Please hold on - it's alright Please hold on Down in a local bar Out on the boulevard The sound of an old guitar is saving you [Chorus x2] |

Well I know the trouble when the trouble starts.
I know the signals of a straying heart. I know the stirrings of a double-cross. I see suspicions arise around you. I know the chatter as it starts to creep. I know the walls as they ring and repeat. I know the secrets they were meant to keep. I see suspicions arise. It's a shame, I know, but it all shakes out real slow When the follies of your weekend hang like smoke onto your clothes. And the shame of it grows when you whisper it nice and low. But all the walls have ears my darling, and all bad things get known. And I know about you. I know about you. I know the ceiling when it starts to burn. I know the season when it starts to turn. And I know that the patterns that the wicked learn. And I see suspicions arise around you. I know the curtain and the way it falls. I know the burden and the pain it draws. I know you're sorry for something, But I don't know why. It's a shame, I know, but it all shakes out real slow When the follies of your weekend hang like smoke onto your clothes. And the shame of it grows when you whisper it nice and low (whisper it nice and low). But all the walls have ears my darling, and all bad things get known. And I know about you (I know about you). I know about you. It's a shame, I know, but it all shakes out real slow When the follies of your weekend hang like smoke onto your clothes. And the shame of it grows when you whisper it nice and low (whisper it nice and low). But all the walls have ears my darling, and all bad things get known. And I know about you. I know about you (I know about you). I know about you (I know about you). I know about you. |

I know that yesterday is gone and it won't come back to me
But I miss it after all it never really lasts as long as we'd meant for it to be There'll be twists and turns to pull at us and tear into the seams But I'll meet you where we started once again, cause I miss you Maybe we were right to carry on, to carry on Even when they said we'd be undone Take it as a sign we can still go on, we still belong Even when the worst is yet to come We're only waiting on the sun to clear away the haze Cause we can't see where we've gone from where we started Where we strayed and where we're meant to be There'll be ash and dust to bury us but I will keep you clean And I'll meet you where we started once again Maybe we were right to carry on, to carry on Even when they said we'd be undone Take it as a sign we can still go on, we still belong Even when the worst is yet to come And when tomorrow comes and we've shown everyone What they can never take away Maybe we were right to carry on, to carry on Even when they said we'd be undone Take it as a sign we can still go on, we still belong Even when the best is yet to come And when tomorrow comes and we've shown everyone What they can never take away |

What makes you so sure Our sins are not the start Of something holy, divine. I don't like the sound of this No news is bad news And all is quiet And all your looks Give no betrayal to what you shield or hide Wider walls have not protected Anything or anyone The way I will protect your burning heart I know your careful 'Cause I've been burned before And I know how it makes you careful And I know your symptoms Are complicated from holding against the impulse But if you're alone Are you lonely? Well you just don't have to be lonely Anymore I don't like the looks that About you There's no truth But all my doubt and all my trust Is no betrayal to what I feel inside Wider walls have not protected Anything or anyone The way I will defend your beating heart And I know your careful Cause I've been burned before And I know how that makes you careful And I know yours symptoms Are complicated from holding against the impulse But if you're alone Are you lonely?

A line of strands to mark the trail.
No one said it would be easy. I must admit, I thought that risk was better waged in younger seasons. Years in the cold, burn in my throat. Everything I say burns like cinders. But it's hard to belong to a girl or a song, In the crease of a strangling winter. Strange to be lost Stranger still to be lone in the strings of a twisting line. Along the way the turns are sharp No one said they would be easy I must admit I thought the trip was better in younger seasons. But all these years in the pursuit made a man of a fool Till every word I say is on waver. Why it's hard to belong to a girl Or a song in the case of a selfish believer It's strange to be lost and stranger Still to be lone in the strings in a twisting line It's strange to be lost and stranger Still to be lone in the strings in a twisting line And when the path I have made from the grass to the grave I will love you still And when the sand turns to glass and all That's left is the past and I will love you still. |

I'm missing your bed
I never sleep Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak, And this bottle of beast Is taking me home [1.] I'm cuddling close To blankets and sheets But you're not alone, and you're not discreet Make sure I know who's taking you home. I'm reading your note over again There's not a word that I comprehend, Except when you signed it "I will love you always and forever." [2.] Well As for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs And sit alone and wonder How you're making out But as for me, I wish that I were anywhere with anyone Making out. I'm missing your laugh How did it break? And when did your eyes begin to look fake? I hope you're as happy as you 're pretending. [1.] I am alone In my defeat I wish I knew you were safely at home I'm missing your bed I never sleep Avoiding the spots where we'd have speak, and This bottle of beast is taking me home. [2.] Your hair, it's everywhere. Screaming infidelities And taking its wear. [Repeat Four times] |

On the way home,
this car hears my confessions. I think tonight I'll take the long way. This weather. The wind outside is biting. It has left me feeling tired & exposed. You've been asking me to bleed. It seems these kinds of questions They come too easy to you now. Your lack of shame comes naturally. I should not be suprised. I should have seen it sooner. You expect me to apologize for things that you've done wrong. While you're inciting others. You're owning up to nothing and I wish that I was gone, because you're not going anywhere. This damp air is fighting my defroster. My sighs they ring victorious & fog this tinted glass. It's clouded & so is my head. The hint of these new tears are sharp. I try to hold them back. But it's useless. I am useless against them. They are beating me with ease. On the way home this car hears my confessions. I think tonight I'll take the long way. |

I'm always assuming the worst,
but you're going on none the less & there's nothing to cusion your heart led fall. Letters from further away keep pulling me close to home. And there's something to cushion my callous sighs. And I know that you hope for longer good-byes embracing for forever and falling in your eyes. Pouring over photographs. I'm living in your letters. Breathe deeply from this envelope it smells like you & I can't be without that scent. It's filling me with all you mean to me. Continually failing these trials but you stand by me nonetheless & you won't let me sink though I'm beggin you. Phone calls from further away & messages on my machine, but I don't ever tell you this distance seems terrible. There is no need to test my heart, with useless space. These roads go on forever & so do you and I. So I'll hit the pavement it's gotta be better than waiting & pushing you far away cause I'm scared. So I'll take my chances & head on my way up there. Cause turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten. |

This paint has been tasting of lead
& their chips will fall as they may, but it's not just my finish that is peeling, & it is not alone fleeing these walls. Well sooner of later this cold it's gonna break & our hands will be warm again, but all I want is not to need you now. And sooner or later this cold it's gonna break & our words will be heard again, but all I want are vows of silence now. This turpentine chaser's got kick & the rag that it's soaked in is rich. The fumes aide the pace of my cleaning & as soon as I'm done I am gone. The frightening facts we've been facing our backs for so long now are begging for eyes to bear witness to lies & indifference. Now we're saying aloud the things we've declared in our silence. The new coats of paint will not reaquaint broken hearts to broken homes. |

And the phone is always dead to me, so I can't tell you the temperature is dropping & it feels like it is colder than it ought to be in March & I still have a day or two ahead of me till I'll be heading home, into your arms again. And the people here are asking after you. It doesn't make it easier. It doeasn't make it easier to be away. I'd like to hire a plane. I'd see you in the morning, when the day is fresh. I'm coming home again. It's warmer where you're waiting. It feels more like July. Ther's pillows in their cases & one of those is mine. And you wrote the words I love you, & sprayed it with perfume.

another wasted night, the television steals the conversation exhale, another wasted breath, again it goes unnoticed. Please tell me you're just feeling tired cause if it's more than that I feeel that I might break out of touch, out of time. Please send me anything but signals that are mixed casue I can't read your rolling eyes out of touch, are we out of time? Close lipped another goodnight kiss is robbed of all it's passion, your grip another time, is slack it leaves me feeling empty. I'll wait until tomorrow maybe you'll feel better then maybe we'll be better then so what's another day when I can't bear these nights of thoughts of going on without you this mood of yours is temporary it seems worth the wait to see your smile again out of the corner of your eye wont be the only way you'll look at me then. |

you wear it like a label on your breast don't you see what this takes of me? A certain callousness complies with your charm & in your pride a hopeful look draped in despise. I want to give you whatever you need. What is it you need? Is it what I need? I want to give you whatever you need. What is is you need? Is it within me? It's hard to explain how I am getting by on so little from you. It's hard to believe that I would let myself get so wrapped in you. There's got to be something that would be worthwhile for me to give to you. We need a connection but you seem to push me far away from you. The harder I push the further I fall.

The lights the praise The curtain calls And the big parade You know that life all too well The promise the pain The valor the rage Hold up your hands For the bow and the wave You know his touch A little too well You throw yourself Into their arms Mistresses have all the fun But no one's ever there to take you home Box up your gloves and your Down coats Bound for the sun and the West coast Where upper crust tragedies abound A tip for the girl at the Coat check The guy at the door and the Bar back They know your face Oh so well But movies never made you famous All your dreams got lost or traded And all you ever cared about got lost But you were surely still an actress Older men would find attractive And all you ever dreamed of was the cost Where there's gold, there's a gold digger Where there's gold, there's a gold digger Where there's gold, there's a gold digger Where there's gold, there's a gold digger Where there's gold, there's a gold digger Where there's gold, there's a gold digger You throw yourself Into their arms Mistresses have all the fun But no one's ever there to take you home |

I know how you spread that Web of contradictions Wide like so much cover fire Keep watch for the mines Keep watch for the mines Be careful who you Wave that tongue at 'round here I've seen smarter acts than yours Get disappeared If you keep swinging that knife All over this town You are bound To get you own back stabbed Keep watch for the mines The concealed dangers The traps and the coils of the wires With the sharp razors The ditches and the trenches and the smiles Of the grave diggers And if you're told The answer needs no questioning The answer is a lie Keep watch for the mines Keep watch for the mines Will they bleed everyone out? Will they bleed everyone out? Keep watch for the mines Will they bleed everyone out Before they die? Keep watch for the mines Keep watch for the mines Will they bleed everyone out? Will they bleed everyone out? Keep watch for the mines Will they bleed everyone out Before they die? Keep watch for the mines The concealed dangers The traps and the coils of the wires With the sharp razors The ditches and the trenches and the smiles Of the grave diggers And if you're told The answer needs no questioning The answer is a lie Keep watch for the mines Keep watch for the mines |

Lay my bones
At the feet of the ministry I need the guilt and the company I need the chance to be judged And then long forgotten Lately I just can't shake it I count the days in seconds and minutes Hours and hours are subtle as shards of glass In the skin So lay with me I could use the company You could help me ease These bones Are like maps and keys Where they took their hits And they felt those teeth There's a story hidden Underneath If you dig in deep Will you find relief? For these bones Shudder all night long The hammer drops Another scar For these bones But I know They're only my second home. Naked and under the cover of night It's just a matter of time 'til I'm Counted and measured and filed And then long forgotten Forgive my manner of speaking I know it's quick, but the clock is still ticking And I've got a few words left burning holes on my tongue I've been saving them So lay with me I could use the company You could help me ease These bones Are like maps and keys Where they took their hits And they felt those teeth There's a story hidden Underneath If you dig in deep Will you find relief? For these bones Shudder all night long The hammer drops Another scar For these bones But I know They're only my second home No you won't go down alone No you won't go down alone No you won't go down alone No you won't go down alone So lay with me I could use the company You could help me ease These bones Are like maps and keys Where they took their hits And they felt those teeth There's a story hidden Underneath If you dig in deep Will you find relief? These bones Are like maps and keys Where they took their hits And they felt those teeth There's a story hidden Underneath If you dig in deep Will you find relief? For these bones 'Cause I know That you won't go down alone |

Fever Dreams
Can only haunt you 'Til the fever breaks They can only haunt you 'Til the fever breaks They can only haunt you 'Til the fever breaks They can only haunt you Beneath your skin And your games You're alone But you're so contagious Tell me, what am I to do? When a fire, and a fever rages And I have caught it too, So who's to blame Fever Dreams They can only haunt you 'Til the fever breaks They can only haunt you I've had enough of these moves I've had enough of these moves You get everything with I've lost all I can lose To your skill and your games But you're so contagious, so contagious Fever dreams Can only haunt you 'Til the fever breaks They can only haunt you 'Til the fever breaks They can only haunt you 'Til the fever breaks They can only haunt you 'Til the fever breaks But you're so contagious Tell me, what am I to do? When a fire and a fever rages And I have caught it too, So who's blame For who gets burned For holding you? |

If you knew,
What I know, Would you try? Before your time Has run on you And worn you down Would you know, What you desire, In your heart? If you knew, What I know, Would you try? Is there time? Is there time? To follow just one desire? Is there time? Is there time, To follow your heart? Dress your wounds Test your strength Face the night Crave the touch Feel the pain Know the signs Is there truth, In your pain? You decide If you knew, What I know, Would you try? Is there time? Is there time? To follow just one desire? Is there time? Is there time, To follow your heart? As we lie In the shade Of poison trees Are we as safe As we let Ourselves believe? |

How can you ask for forgiveness?
So now you think that your crimes are victimless? I know you and your sins Your retributions So how will you lay your penance down? We all pay in time So how will you clear you conscience When your clock unwinds? I've heard enough of your forked tongue How do you know when the cuts are deep enough? I know you like your stabs Your preemptive attacks But how will you hold your demons down? We're all judged in time But how can you seek redemption Using alibis? You out to know better, Than to bait your jailor You ought to know You ought to know better How do you deal with the consequence? Now that we bear the weight of your arrogance I know you and your cons Your petty little bombs But who will you blame your troubles on now? We all pay in time So how will you clear your conscience When your lies unwind? You ought to know better, Than to bait your jailor You ought to know better, Than to test your luck You ought to know better, Than to bite who feeds ya' You ought to know You ought to know better How can you ask for forgiveness? How can you think that your crimes are victimless? I know you and your sins Your retributions So how will you lay your penance down? We're all judged in time So how will you clear your conscience When your lies unwind |

Slip out the back before those
Handlers get too tight on you I light my own fires now I light my own fires now Slip in this town like it was Measured to fit right on you We light our own fires now We lead ourselves into the night Oh yeah, I don't think I'll be held inside an ordinary cell Am I the escape or Am I the escape artist? I know, I know it's just a question of details Or one of, Denial. Could all of this trip wire Cut so easy? We'll just see Cut the alarm before the Motion sets off its sensors We move in silence now We guard our secrets with our lives And cover our tracks so we are Protected from surveillance We move in silence now We lead ourselves into the fight Into the fight Into the fight Into the fight And all the saints Will rise again As sons of wealthy men Tear the whole world down before our eyes And all the signs We should have read While we ignored the dead Will haunt us long after the last of us has died Slip out the back before those Handlers get too tight on you I light my own fires now I light my own fires now Slip in this town like it was Measured to fit right on you We light our own fires now We lead ourselves into the night |

Why do you speak with that accent now?
Everyone knows you're not from the streets. You went to prep school in Cambridge, With daughters and sons of the privileged elite. Their fortunes from shipping and industry, Their futures in yacht clubs and tails. So why do you speak with that accent now? Everyone knows you're moonlighting here. To avail yourself of your heritage, For a season or two in the sun. Draw well from the funds in the trust, Thanks to the fathers of fortunate sons, For us it's a matter of charging the gates For you it's a matter of blood and connections Of blood and connections. So who do you fool with that costume now? Everyone knows you're not who you seem You've got a hard way about you For someone whose passage is already paid By the sins and the schemes of your father And the infinite reach of his arm Draw well from the funds in the trust, Thanks to the fathers of fortunate sons, For us it's a matter of charging the gates For you it's a matter of blood Drink well from your bottomless cup And bask in your good fortune For us it's a matter of charging the gates For you it's a matter of blood and connections So where will you be when you tire of the fun The escape, the charade, and your time in the slums I know everyone does their own reinvention But yours has a taste that's hard to swallow And what will you tell of your tenure with us? Will you build yourself up, like the size of your hut? If they're anything like what you've been telling us, Those stories will make true believers Of the chumps and the fools. So why do you speak with that accent now? Everyone knows you're not from the streets. |

I believe in clean breaks, I keep the old troubles away
But you're making sure I was lying when I said "I can leave, This behind" I need you to ruin me For this, finally, 'Cause it's burying me Now, I'm in these old knots Each move keeps me locked away With each new embrace, I have tied myself up. More tightly, Into you Oh, but the more I fight Then the deeper I'm trapped And I can't break free of this hold that you have And I crave you more Under the heat of your touch And I need your skin To ruin me For this wicked town Where your ghosts are bound To me One last sacrifice Of this ritual escape I was lying when I said... "I believe, in clean breaks" |

You will wait in the widows peak
And while you watch the ships come in I will take the early train And I will take the back streets Down to New Orleans Before the avenues are swallowed By the morning heat And you will watch the ships come in And I will take the early train And I will make it home We're stronger where The strain had broken us And there is fight in us I know And it will take more than A heavy rain To silence us When there's so much for us I know And you will wait At your post until You've been relieved And warn us all If seas are dangerous But you should rest For a little while And I will watch the ships come in I'll alert the citizens I'll sound the alarm We're stronger where The strain had broken us And there is fight in us I know That it will take more than A heavy rain To silence us When there's so much for us I know They've tethered the ships In the harbor They've anchored the rest At sea We're stronger than Before the strain had broken us And there is fight in us I know We're stronger than Before the strain had broken us And there is fight in us I know That it will take more than A heavy rain To silence us When there's so much for us I know |
