The Everlasting Gaze
you know i'm not dead/ now you know where i've been/ as you sleep/ torn i am/ weighted down/
patiently/ born of love/ you know i'm not dead/ i'm just living in my head/ forever waiting/ on the
ways of your desire/ you always find a way/ and thru it all/ into us all you move/ forgotten touch/
forbidden thought/ we can never have enough/ you know i'm not dead/ found below/ the
creatures scream/ stranglehold/ a god machine/ begging to/ tear us out/ worn as hope/ you know
i'm not dead i'm just the tears inside your head/ forever waiting/ on the ways of your desire/ you
always find a way/ and thru it all into us all you move/ forgotten touch/ forbidden thought/ we can
never have enough/ you know i'm not dead/ we all want to hold in the everlasting gaze/ enchanted
in the rapture of his sentimental sway/ but underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every c.o.g./ the
fickle fascination of an everlasting god/ you know i'm not dead/ i'm just living in my head/ forever
waiting/ forever waiting on cruel death/ you know i'm not dead/ i'm just living for myself/ forever
waiting/you know i'm not dead

Raindrops + Sunshowers
rain falls on everyone/ the same old rain/ and i'm just trying to/ walk with you/ between the
raindrops/ i send my echo out/ to get your love without/ obscured reflections of/ my love/
rain falls on everyone/ the same old rain/ and i'm just trying to/ walk with you/ between the
raindrops/ i'll save a prayer for you/ so lost and longing to/ be dragged thru dirty sheets/ wrapped
up in clean white sheets/ and if you think they'll watch you now/ you should know they won't/ rain
falls on everyone/ the same old rain/ and i'm just trying to/ walk with you/ between the raindrops/
and i'm just trying to/ walk with you between the raindrops/ i send my echo out/ to get your love
without/ obscured reflections of/ of my secret love/ force down the words about/ to get your love
without/ obscured reflections of my love/ and i'm just trying to talk to you between the raindrops/
rain falls on everyone/ the same old rain/ and i'm just trying to walk with you/ between the raindrops/
rain falls on everyone/ the same old rain/ and i'm just trying to walk with you between the raindrops/
and i'm just trying to walk with you between the raindrops

Stand Inside Your Love
you and me/ meant to be/ immutable/ impossible/ it's destiny/ pure lunacy/ incalculable/
insufferable/ but for the last time/ you're everything that i want and ask for/ you're all that i'd dreamed/ who
wouldn't stand inside your love/ protected and the lover of/ a pure soul and beautiful you/ don't
understand/ don't feel me now/ i will breathe, for the both of us/ travel the world/ traverse the skies/
your home is here/ within my heart/ and for the first time/ i feel as though i am reborn/ in my mind/
recast as child and mystic sage/ who wouldn't be the one you love/ who wouldn't stand inside your love/
and for the first time/ i'm telling you how much i need and bleed for/ your every move and waking sound/
in my time/ i'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind you're mine forever now/ who wouldn't
be the one you love and live for who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for/ who wouldn't be the
one you love

I of the Mourning
radio/ play my favourite song/ radio/ radio/ radio/ i'm alone/ radio/ radio/ please don't go/ radio/
i peer thru curtains on empty streets/ behind a wall of caller i.d./ no one's out there/ to hear if i care/
about the troubles in the air/ as i of the morning now come/ pick up where my thoughts left off/ cause
i'm home to die on my own/ as my radio/ plays my favourite song/ radio/ radio/ radio/ don't you know/
radio/ radio/ that radio/ i'm alone/ i blow the dust off my guitars/ in the attic with the stars/ i read
your letters/ to feel better/ my tears upon the fading ink/ as i of the morning now gone/ pick up where my
thoughts left off/ cause i'm home to die on my own/ as my radio/ plays my favourite song/ radio/ radio/
radio/ i'm alone/ radio/ radio/ radio/ please don't go/ i sit in the dark light/ to wait for ghost night/ to bring
the past alive/ to make a toast to life/ cause i have survived/ what is it you want/ what is it you want to
change/ what is it you want/ what is it you want to change/ what is it you want to change/ radio

The Sacred and Profane
give me tears/ give me love/ let me rest/ lord above/ send the bored/ your restless/ the feedback scarred/
devotionless/ you're all a part of me now/ and if i fall/ you're all a part of me now/ in the sun/ you're all
a part of me now/ you're all a part of me now/ will our love ever be enough/ just in time to prove/ will
our words ever be enough/ just in time to lose/ give me sight/ and barren breast/ pure snow/ and happiness/
give me time/ give me peace/ and i will prove/ my release/ you're all a part of me now/ and if i fall/ you're
all a part of me now/ trapped in the sun/ you're all a part of me now/ you're all a part of me now/ will
our love ever be enough/ just in time to prove/ will our time ever be enough/ will our love ever be enough/
you're all a part of me now/ and if i fall/ you're all a part of me now/ in the sun/ you're all a part of me
now/ in the sun/ you're all a part of me now/ you're all a part of me now/ you're all a part of me now/
and if i fall/ you're all a part of me now/ trapped in the sun/ you're all a part of me now/ will our love
ever be enough/ just in time to prove

Try, Try, Try
pop tart/ what's our mission/ do we know/ but never listen/ for too long/ they held me under/ but i hear/
it's almost over/ in detroit/ on a memphis train/ like you said it's/ down in the heat and the summer rain
of/ the automatic gaze of your memories/ down in the sleep at the airplane races/ try to hold on/
to this heart/ a little bit longer/ try to hold on/ to this love aloud/ try to hold on/ for this heart's/ a little
bit colder/ try to hold on/ to this love/ paperback scrawl your hidden poems/ written around the dried out
flowers/ here we are still trading place/ to try to hold on/ pop tart/ can you envision a free world/ of
clear division/ for too long/ they held us under/ but i know/ we're getting over/ in detroit/ with the nashville
tears/ like you said it's/ down in the heat with the broken numbers/ down in the gaze of solemnity/ down in
the way you've held together/ to try to hold on/ to this heart/ a little bit closer/ try to hold on/ to this love aloud/
and we are still alive/ try to hold on/ and we have survived/ try to hold on/ and no one should deny/ we tried
to hold onto the pulse of the feedback current/ into the flow of encrypted movement/ slapback kills the
ancient remnants/ that try to hold on/ try to hold on/ to this heart alive/ try to hold on/ to this love aloud/
try to hold on/ and we are still alive/ try to hold on/ and we have survived/ try to hold on/ pop tart/
you never listen/ skinned knees/ try to hold on/ stop start/ what's our mission/ skinned knees/
try to hold on

This Time
this time i need to know/ i really must be told/ if it's over/ it's up to you you know/ the things you want to
hold/ are in pieces/ crashing down/ crashing down again/ crashing down/ crashing down my friends/
i've got to move it on/ i've got to sing my song/ while i still can/ dispatch the last alarms/ hand out the
last few charms/ there's no surprises/ only love/ only love can win/ crashing down/ crashing down again/
only love can win/ crashing down/ crashing down again/ only love/ yeah only love will win/ crashing
down/ crashing down again/ this time i need to know/ i really must be told/ that it's over/ i've lived my
life alone/ my every step foretold/ to never linger/ and yet it huants me so/ what are we letting go/ our
spell is broken/ crashing down/ crashing down my friends/ crashing down/ crashing down again/ only love/
yeah only love will/ be enough / yeah only love will win/ for every chemical/ you trade a piece of your
soul/ with no return/ and who you think you know/ doesn't know you at all/ their drain is needless/
someday we'll wave hello/ and wish we'd never waved goodbye/ to this romance/ we'll drink up every
line/ and shoot up ever word/ till there's no more/ crashing down/ crashing down my friend/ only love/
only love can win/ so cry these tears we'll cry as all/ we've held so long to fall apart/ as the curtain
falls we bid you all goodnight

The Imploding Voice
everywhere you are/ is everywhere you've been/ just lost to the beat/ punching thru your skin/
you don't know what to do/ but still you wanna crawl/ all thru the broken glass/ that's eveyrwhere
you are/ your love must always be true/ your love must always be you/ everywhere you are/ anywhere
you go/ even if you're starved/ it matters what you do/ but even if you've gone too far/ you can
follow you/ everywhere you are/ and in your mind/ you were alone/ all this time/ with everything you
were/ and every smile you wore/ still locked in your heart/ everywhere you are/ everywhere you are/
every single chard/ everywhere you are/ you're never too far/ cause anywhere you'd go/ even to the
stars/ all you have to do/ is play the part of who you are/ the rest is up to you/ phase unwound/ by
yourself/ atom bomb/ on the shelf unsung/ pause of light/ pulse of life/ new face dawns/ everywhere
you are/ and everywhere you go/ even if you're down/ even if you're love/ it's in the thought of you/
it's in the eyes of all/ astride a stories past/ that's everywhere you are/ your love must always be true/
your love must always be you/ everywhere you are/ anywhere you go/ even if you're scarred/ it's all
a part of you/ but ever should you put it down/ you can never lose me/ everywhere you are

Glass and the Ghost Children
to the center of the earth/ or anywhere god decides/ full of fever pulling forth/ we hear our call
as all/ to the center of the earth/ as if written in/ dna is reaching out/ to your frequency/
i want to live/ don't want to die/ i want to live/ i want to try/ all in prayer/ prayer in all/ all are
scared/ scared of all/ black rooms are calling/ to men in leather coats/ white labs are cooking up the
silver ghost/ spiders wonder what we've got us in/ all is you/ you are all/ all with you/ you in all/
i want to live/ i don't want to die/ i want to live/ i want to try - so beats the final coda of a vinyl
storm/ one more cherry cola to lift up her dead arms/ a dream of soft focus sunsets filters thru the din/
we are losing contact as she dials it in/ she can hear glass calling/ or is it someone that looks like him/
she eyes tv reflection and nods a knowing look/ she says it doesn't matter she never liked her
looks/ i have seen a thousand fractures/ i have seen everything/ cause knowing is it's own answer/ love
something in a book/ there's not much left to ponder/ not much left to cook/ as she counted the
spiders/ as they crawled up inside her/ as she counted the spiders/ as they crawled up inside her

Wound
there you are/ as you always were/ in bathing light/ and naked blur/ you're a part of me/ eternal one/ by
grand design/ and setting sun/ if you wait i will wait/ taste i will taste/ if you love i will love/ run i will run/
to my last breath/ last night i turned around and thought i saw myself turning/ inside the strangest dream
of life unloved and cities burning/ awake in my arms/ you cry unharmed/ our age of the hours/ while they
still devour all/ so take it all/ i doubt if we/ will know it's gone/ cause we've been here/ since time began/
begged god awake and make these plans/ wound opens/ reveal this broken man/ and soon there's notions
of blood on his hands/ if you wait i will wait/ taste i will taste/ if you love i will love/ run i will run/ to my last
breath/ last night i turned around and thought i watched the world ending/ inside the crushing down i felt a
pang the tide was turning/ destroyed in the wake/ the jealous ingrates/ who'll tear this world down/ to spite
god above/ with his own love/ with his own love/ if you wait/ if you wait/ if you wait i will wait/ taste i will
taste/ if you love i will love/ run i will run/ to my last breath

The Crying Tree of Mercury
this is the song i've been singing my whole life/ i've been waiting like a knife/ to cut open your heart/
and bleed my soul to you/ i did it all for you/ you and you and you and you/ this is the sound i've been
making my whole life/ i've been waiting for this night/ to clear up all the talk/ although i'm selfish to a
fault/ is it selfish it's you i want/ you i did it all for you/ this love will stand as long as you/ there's really
no excuse/ i did it all for you/ these are the tears i've been crying my whole life/ like an ocean of desire/
i'm reaching thru the noise across the dusk of time/ within the lilting lies/ i am singing out to you
|
With Every Light
taking over/ we're taking over/ throw the weight up off you shoulders now/ that we can show our love/
it's almost over it's almost over/ no more war and no more soldiers/ to stand against his love/ away with
all the troubles that you've made/ away with waiting for another day/ away/ look ma the sun is shining
on me/ impatient, in love and aching to be/ could you believe in heaven/ if heaven was all you had/
we're taking over we're taking over/ throw away your four leafed clovers/ and stand beside this love/
away with everything you've grown to hate/ away with anything that holds you safe/ away/ and every
light i've found/ is every light that's shining down on me/ i'm never alone/ look ma the sun is shining
on me/ taking my time to do as i please/ could you believe in heaven/ if heaven was all you had/ the
sun is beaming, radiating/ all the love we are creating/ we are creating/ and every light i've found/
is every light that's shining down on me/ i'm never alone

Blue Skies Bring Tears
unleash the armageddon/ so all the children go to heaven/ i sit by quiet still with their pictures on my eyes/
you'll draw the guns you're given/ write down the words as written/ and never disturb the presence of
resurrection crutch/ and it's about time/ it's about drawing near/ blue skies bring tears/ blue skies bring tears/
descend the darkened stairways/ make hate with plastic playmates/ and fire out remaining traces of your
self esteem/ mainline the deepest secrets/ lick clean the dirty fingers/ i am a stranger to you as you are to
yourself/ and it's about time/ it's about fear/ blue skies bring tears/ don't you want me/ as i awake the city
sigh/ we'll watch the seasons die/ blue skies bring tears/ take me inside your body/ cover me with your soul/
to the darkest recess/ is where i wish to go/ you are the sweetest flower/ that i have ever devoured/ i ask
you for nothing given for nothing in return/ blue skies bring tears

Age of Innocence
we dismiss the back roads/ to ride these streets unafraid/ resigned to scraping paint/ from our bones
unashamed/ no more the eye upon you/ no more the simple man/ desolation yes hesitation no/ desolation
yes hesitation no/ and in my prayers i dream alone/ a silent speech to deaf ear/ if you want love you must
be love/ but if you bleed love you will die loved/ no more the lie upon you/ cast in stone and autumn shade/
desolation yes hesitation no/ desolation yes hesitation no/ as you might have sensed we won't make it home/
desolation yes hesitation no/ before the rites of spring/ come to mean all things/ a little taste of what may
come - a mere glimpse of what has gone/ cause for the moment we are free - we seek to bind our release/
too young to die to rich to care too fucked to swear that i was there/ desolation yes hesitation no/ desolation
yes hesitation no/ desolation yes hesitation no/ as you might have guessed we won't make it home/ desolation
yes hesitation no
