I wanted to feel something To be something To see something I wanted to find One thing that was mine And leave this behind But I can't find my way To get far away And bury these days Fantasy Once reality Becomes such a parody If I could find One thing that was mine I'd leave this behind But I can't find my way To get far away And bury these days If shining Or if shaking It's reality faking If I could find One thing that was mine I'd leave this behind But I can't find my way To get far away And bury these days Bittersweet Seven sin of wantonness and Everything that's good is gone Sell it all for glory from the peers Silicone priestess scratch the back and Twists the knife to bone Kick against the pricks and scrape the shins I'm the enemy in the enemies now Swallowed the pill Drank to the fill All these things I carry now In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now Try to hold the world there sinking, Swimming in a paper cup Try to own the one beneath the skin Held up to the flame 'till singeing skin Begins to draw and tuck Never told there's a chance to win What could be wouldn't be, wouldn't be now Swallowed the pill Drank to the fill All these things I carry now In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now Hold your hands up to the sky and Try so hard to rise above But everything is beating down Swallowed the pill Drank to the fill All these things I carry now In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now Shimmer She calls me on the phone Just when I was low, feeling short of stable And all that she intends And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label She says she's ashamed, And can she take me for a while And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past But maybe I'm not able And I break at the bend We're here and now, but will we ever be again Cause I have found All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade Away again She dreams a champagne dream Strawberry surprise, pink linen with white paper Lavender and cream Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her She says that love, is for fools that fall behind And I'm somewhere in between, I never really know A killer from a savior And I break at the bend We're here and now, but will we ever be again Cause I have found All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade Away again It's too far away for me to hold It's too far away -- Guess I'll let it go Jesus Or A Gun Walk away, I walk the wire And my fields are burning in the flames Feel my way, blind in the mire Struggling from your voice inside my head But now everything's trying to drag me down But I'll rip the sky from the ground But tell me now, who's my saving one Jesus or a gun Stripped away my last desire Nothing comes and nothing's sent away Happiness I couldn't hire Struggling from these thoughts inside my head But now everything's trying to drag me down But I'll rip the sky from the ground But tell me now, who's my saving one Jesus or a gun All that's safter falls from my favor When it's over who will cry for me It's safe to say I don't desire Everything you push inside my head And I'll reject it until I'm dead But now everything's trying to drag me down But I'll rip the sky from the ground But tell me now, who's my saving one Jesus or a gun Sunburn The sky was dark this morning Not a bird in the trees And silence hung suspicious and anxious Like a blanket covered scream And you were gone You were not there for me And I cursed the sky and begged the sun to Fall all over me This life's not living, baby Living ain't free If I can't find my way back to me Let the sun fall down over me Let the sun fall down All my friends are searching Quiet, desperately Look into their eyes you'll see the faithless crying Save me, save me, save me And what are they to feel And who are they to be And what am I to do with, do with me, but let the sun Fall all over me This life's not living, baby Living ain't free If I can't find my way back to me Let the sun fall down over me Let the sun fall down Until my eyes cry out 'Til my head is free of doubt 'Til my lungs sigh right out 'Til I'm wiser Let the sun Fall all over me This life's not living, baby Living ain't free If I can't find my way back to me Let the sun fall down over me Let the sun fall down New Thing Take me out alive Take me out it's all so safe Give me another life Excuse me if I tried and failed And I don't mind if I fall It's not that far at all I got a new thing, its so inspired It's not the real thing, but it's for me Because the real thing I don't desire So it's the new thing I choose for me Denial comfort me Built the gallows high You gave me the plans and silve nails The architects of pride But I'm the one you're hanging now And I don't mind if I fall It's not that far at all I got a new thing, its so inspired It's not the real thing, but it's for me Because the real thing I don't desire So it's the new thing I choose for me Denial comfort me And I don't mind if I fall It's not that far at all I got a new thing, its so inspired It's not the real thing, but it's for me Because the real thing I don't desire So it's the new thing I choose for me Denial comfort me It's Come To This And I found my head uncrowned And all life's sweet nectar flowing down The cracks and seams wasted on some petty little prayers And I reached up for despair but I was well below that cherished stage And all my mangled hopes all songs unsung I fear I've wasted all my sun I fear I've wasted all my time Everything is faded Smiles are fabricated now I fear I've wasted all my sun I fear I've wasted all my time Held my eyes closed for too long And I ran out through the streets in hopes that I might find it there But all my buildings started back at me tenantless and bare And I reached up for the sky, but it always seemed so far away Transcendent thoughts you gave lie atrophied and broken I fear I've wasted all my sun I fear I've wasted all my time Everything is faded Smiles are fabricated now I fear I've wasted all my sun I fear I've wasted all my time Held my eyes closed for too long And I sat when I should have stood; swallowed when I should have spit Until now I only recognize me in pictures taken long ago And all the changes simply haunt and never go away A friend will tell when I hit hell, I may not feel the change Held my eyes closed for too long Held my eyes closed for too long Just before I go don't you offer any sweet advice because Where were all your shoulders when I needed them so long ago And now with legs weak and weary from this silly dance With a suitcase full of memories, I pack my bags an slowly drift away Song For You It's all I want It's all I needed now it's through It all comes back to you The only one The one I needed I abuse More color for the bruise So I sing this song for you There's nothing left for me to do Goodbye dear one Venus I thought you'd bless me too So selfish to presume So I sing this song for you And I hope that what is true Will find a way to you I sing this song for you Venus never showed the way The stars would not be sold Heaven stole the light of day And we were never told So dark the day..... So much for life, for life and love And now it's true The color always changes hue Bright to black and blue So I sing this song for you And I hope that what is true Will find a way to you I sing this song for you So I sing this song for you There's nothing left for me to do Mary Pretends Mary pretends she's so insane, so insane, so insane Mary pretends she's so insane, so insane, so insane She just sits back and laughs at the pain Laughs at the pain, laughs at the pain Mary pretends she's so insane, so insane, so insane Falling down of her mind Gives her everything she's wanted from the world Close her eyes, drift inside, so alive She wants to know what it feels like She wants to know how to fly She wants to know what if feels like to die Goodbye Ozone I wanna make her go, I wanna make her come I wanna push her away Don't wanna feel no pain Don't wanna feel no shame Don't wanna feel this way I'm so alone here Why must I be I'm the one she calls ozone baby She waits alone for me to come down But I want to fly like a silly angel Aim for the sky, straight into the sun I wanna make her feel, I wanna make it real I wanna give her away She wanna keep me here She wanna hold me dear She wanna make me stay She's so alone here She don't need me I'm the one she calls ozone baby She waits alone for me to come down But I want to fly like a silly angel Aim for the sky, straight into the sun My sun, on you, burning, singe you Confined inside, rot from my lies, sucker I'll only hold you down, I'll only steal your crown I'll only make you cry I'll only break your pride, and eat you up inside Why should you even try I'm so alone here Why must I be I'm the one she calls ozone baby She waits alone for me to come down But I want to fly like a silly angel Aim for the sky, straight into the sun Hideaway Hideaway, take me now I cannot face another round And I'm flipping through these pages For a name to take my place Close my eyes, wish that I could find a space To Hideaway Troubled days cloud by eyes Stole the sun from my skies And in this darkness I am tossing, turning Lying wide awake Hold my breath, with that I could find a place To hideaway Hideaway, take me now I cannot face another round |
