Tonite, Tonight

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave
Without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe
Believe in me 
Believe, believe
That life can change 
That you’re not stuck in vain
And we’re not the same we’re different tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, 
so bright, tonight, tonight
Now you know you’re never sure
But you’re sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the lights
And the embers never fade
In the city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe
Believe in me
Believe, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there’s not a chance tonight
Tonight, tonight, so bright, tonight, tonight
We’ll crucify the insincere tonight, tonight
We’ll make things right
We’ll feel it all tonight, tonight
We’ll find a way to 
Offer up the night, tonight
The indescribable 
moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight, tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

Jellybelly

Welcome to nowhere fast
Nothing here ever lasts
Nothing but memories
Of what never was
We’re nowhere we’re nowhere
We’re nowhere to be
Nowhere nowhere
We’re no where to see to see
Living makes me sick
So sick I wish I’d die
Down in the belly of the beast
I can’t lie
You’re nowhere you’re nowhere
You’re nowhere to be
Nowhere you’re nowhere
You’re nowhere to see to see
There’s nothing left to do
There’s nothing left to feel
Doesn’t matter what you want so
YEAAH!
To make yourself feel better
You make is to you’ll never
Give in to your forevers
And life for always 
And forever, forever, you’re forever to be
Forever, forever, you’re forever to me
To me
you

Zero

My reflection
Dirty mirror
There’s no connection to myself
I’m your lover
I’m your zero
I’m the face in your dreams of glass
So save your prayers
For when we’re really going to need ‘em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?

She’s the one for me
She’s all I really need oh yeah
She’s the one for me

Emptiness is loneliness
And loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness
And god is empty just like me

Intoxicated with the madness, 
I’m in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers
Enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
I never let on
That I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
You blame yourself
For what you can’t ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more
She’s the one for me
She’s all I really need oh yeah
She’s the one for me
She’s my one and
and only

Here Is No Why

The useless drag of another day
The endless drags of a death rock boy
Mascara sure and lipstick lost
Glitter burned by restless thoughts
Of being forgotten
And in your sad machines
You’ll forever stay
Desperate and displeased
With whoever you are
And you’re a star
Somewhere
He pulls his hair down
Over a frowning smile
A hidden diamond you cannot find
A secret star that cannot shine
Over to you
May the king of gloom
Be forever doomed
And in your sad machines
You’ll forever stay
Burning up in speed
Lost inside the dreams - teen machines
The useless drags, the empty days
The lonely towers of long mistakes
Forgotten graces and faded loves
Sitting still was never enough
And if you’re giving in
Then you’re giving up
Cause in your sad machines
You’ll forever stay
Burning up in speed
Lost inside the dreams
Teen machines

Bullet With Butterfly Wings

The world is a vampire
Sent to drain
Secret destroyers
Hold you up to the flames
And what do I get for my pain
Betrayed desires
And a piece of the game
Even though I know
I suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold - like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I’m naked
Nothing but an animal
But can you fake it for just one more show
And what do you want
I want to change
And what do you got
When you feel the same
Even though I know
I suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold - like old job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Tell me I’m the only one
Tell me there’s no other one
Jesus was an only son yeah
Tell me I’m the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a 
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Tell me I’m the only one
Tell me there’s no other one
Jesus was an only son for you
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved

To Forgive

Ten times removed
I forget about where it all began
Bastard son of a 
Bastard son of a 
Wild ey(l)d child of the sun
And right as rain, we’re not the same
But I feel the same
I feel nothing
Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
I sensed my loss
Before I even learned to talk
And I remember my birthdays
Empty party afternoons won’t come back
Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
I forget to forget me
I forget to forget you see
Nothing is important to me
I knew my loss 
Before I even learned to speak
And all along I knew it was wrong
But I played along with my birthday song
Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget nothing is important
Holding back the fool again

Fuck You (an ode to no one)

I’m never coming back
I’m never giving in
I’ll never be the shine in your spit
I disconnect the act
I disconnect the dots
I disconnect the me in me
You’re mistaken, it’s you that’s fakin
Living and breathing and dying too
This message is for anyone 
Who cares to hear a fool
You can’t bring me back
You can’t bring me back
Cause I give it all back to you
Thru sacred alleys
The living wrecks, yeah
Wreak their havoc upon this world
disenchanted, the romantics
body and face and soul of you is gone
Down that deep black hole (ahhhow)
Destroy the mind, destroy the body
But you cannot destroy the heart
Destroy the mind, destroy the body
But you cannot destroy the heart
And you, you make me so I need to disconnect
And you make it so real
I don’t need your love to disconnect
To runaround kids in get go cars
vaseline afterbirths and neon coughs
Galaxies full of nobodies
Giving us the farewell runarounds
I took a virgin mary axe to his sweet baby jane
Lost my innocence to a no good girl
Scratch my face with anvil hands
Coil my tongue around a bumblebee mouth
And I give it all back to you
I give it all back to you yeah
I give it all back to you, for you
No way, I don’t need it
I don’t need your love to disconnect
And you make it so real
That I don’t need your love to disconnect
No way
No way
No way to disconnect
And you make it so real
I don’t need your love to disconnect
No way
No way
No way to disconnect yeahhh

Love

To my mistakes
To my mistakes of cowardice
She shimmy shakes
The jimmy jakes of consequence
Born of the airs and dues
My airs of madness do declare
That it’s okay, it’s love
It’s what you wanted to see
It’s who you wanted to be
For what you needed to need
She’ll make it up
Love love it’s who you know
Love love it’s who you know
Love love it’s who you know
Love love
Machine gun blues
Her vacant rush is so steel
I’m unaware, lost inside your visions
I got mine too over
I got mine and I got you
Cause I know you, your love
It’s what you wanted to see
It’s who you wanted to be
For what you needed to need
She’ll make it up
Love love it’s who you know
Love love it’s who you know
Love love it’s who you know
Love love
When I lost my mind
I knew I was in for a long time
(time)
can I look up to you 
as you look down on me
can I feel in to you
as you felt in to me
I can’t help what you see
I can’t help but to be
For what i needed to need
She’ll make it
Love love it’s who you know
Love love it’s who you know
Love love it’s who you know
Love love it’s who you know
Love love it’s who you know
Love love 
Love solves everything
love

Cupid de Locke

Cupid hath pulled back his sweetheart’s bow
To cast divine arrows into her soul
To grab her attention swift and quick 
Or morrow the marrow of her bones be thick
With turpentine kisses and mistaken blows

See the devil may do as the devil may care
He loves none sweeter as sweeter the dare
Her mouth the mischief he doth seek
Her heart the captive of which he speaks
So note all ye lovers in love with the sound
Your world be shattered with nary a note
Of one cupid’s arrow under your coat

(sail away, sail away – sung in background)
*spoken* 
and in the land of star crossed lovers
and barren-hearted wanderers
forever lost in forsaken missives 
and satan’s pull
we seek the unseekable 
and we speak the undspeakable
our hopes dead gathering dust to dust
in faith, in compassion, and in love

Galapogos

Ain’t it funny how we pretend we’re still a child?
Softly stolen under a blanket skies
And rescue me from me, and all that I believe
I won’t deny the pain
I won’t deny the change
But should I fall from grace here with you
Will you leave me too?

Carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree
Hold me for goodbyes and whispered lullabyes
And tell me I am still the man I’m supposed to be
I won’t deny the pain
I won’t deny the change
But should I fall from grace here with you
Will you leave me too?  Will you leave me too?

Too late to turn back now
I’m running out of sound
And I am changing, changing
And if we died right now
This fool you love somehow
Is here with you
I won’t deny the pain
I won’t deny the change
But should I fall from grace here with you
Would you leave me too?  Would you leave me too?

Muzzle

I fear that i am ordinary just like everyone
To lie here and die among the sorrows
Adrift among the days
And everything I’ve ever said
And everything I’ve ever done is gone and dead
As all things must surely have to end 
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
My life has been extraordinary
Blessed and cursed and won
Time heals but i’m forever broken
By and by the way…
Have you ever heard the words
I’m singing in these songs?
It’s for the girl I’ve loved all along
Can a taste of love be so wrong
As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
And in my mind as I was floating
Far above the clouds
Some children laughed I’d fall for certain
For thinking that I’d live forever
But I knew exactly where I was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the distance to the sun
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the emptiness of youth
And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your hands
And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world so hard to understand
Is the world you can’t live without
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world
And I knew the silence of the world

Porcelina of the Vast Oceans

As far as you take me that’s where I believe
The realm of soft delusions floating on the leaves
On a distant shoreline she waves her arms to me
As all the thought police are closing in for sleep
The dilly dally of my bright lit stay
The steam of my misfortunes
Has given me the power to be afraid
And in my mind I’m everyone
And in my mind
Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this life
It’s what you take that makes it right
(Por…) porcelina of the oceans blue
(por…) porcelina, porcelina

In the slipstream of thoughtless thoughts
The light of all that’s good
The light of all that’s true
To the fringes gladly I walk unadorned
with gods and their creations
With filth and disease
Porcelina, she waits for me there
The seashell hissing lullabyes
Whipsers fathomed deep inside my own
Hidden thoughts and alibis
my secret thoughts come alive
Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this whole world
Without a care in this life
It’s what you take that makes it right
And in my mind I’m everyone
And in my mind I’m everyone
And in my mind I’m everyone of you
You make it right
It’s all allright
You make it right
(Por…) porcelina of the oceans-alina
(por…) porcelina of the oceans-alina

Take Me Down

Take me down to the underground
Won’t you take me down to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can’t sleep can you hold my life
And every you
And all I see is you

And take my hand I lost where I began
In my heart I know all my faults
Will you help me understand
And I believe in you
You’re the other half of me
Soothe and heal…
When you sleep when you dream
I’ll be there if you need me 
Whenever I hear you sing
There… there’s a sun
It’ll come, the sun, hear them call me down
I held you once a love that once
And life had just begun
And you’re all I see
And trumpets blew and angels flew on the other side, dear
And you’re all is see and you’re all I’ll need
There’s a love that god puts in your heart

Move on to Twilight to Starlight.
