Lyrics:

There may be no definite depth to my neediness because it may stretch as strange and as blank as a plane to infinity Yeah it may be as a pit trap in the woods Covered in branches and leaves and cracking twigs So you can’t hear the sound Of your falling body I lived alone, before I met you I lived alone, alone Now I need more There may be no definite depth to my neediness because it may stretch as strained and as blank as a plane to infinity it may be as dark as a well and quite as bottomless and it don't take your wishes on spare change, but your life your body your whole body More Now I need more I lived alone, before I met you Now I need more I’m writing your biography I can’t afford a chapter missing I’ve got to know everything

Lyrics:

We are the dreams of nightbirds This is how it is, now, listen: We are the hopes of lovers Bottled up inside, like jars full of fireflies we shine Oh oh .. Roll it over, push it away with eyes squeezed shut Holy hell, get me through this night From the corners of the room, I sigh It was back to sewing up this quilt again Back to stitching up these walls and Healing this whole house, amen The grass bends 'cause we sigh The world twists when we sway And I closed eyed sigh and I Stitch my pain away But there's a monster, And it's hiding under my bed... He's waiting for me, he said (return to original theme) There've been hundreds before Who've burned up and run But I'm the perfect Distance from the sun

Lyrics:

I must have mistook the fluorescents for daylight again I took to blacking out the windows so they can’t see in I want a dark so pure, like when you’re swimming at night Open your eyes underwater just to find that you’re blind So don’t you look at the slant of the light on the wall Just keep your eyes on my eyes until the morning comes M-m-m-michael M-m-m-michael We cannot stiffen up the sinews, cannot summon the blood I got the courage of a schoolgirl with a schoolgirl’s crush I got my own hand in my mouth, I got silence in my gut I wanna scream just for the sake of the sound in the hush So don’t you look at the slant of the light on the wall We’ll turn tomorrow away when tomorrow dawns M-m-m-michael M-m-m-michael Your eyes were bloodshot, but they searched mine My brain felt tired, my body felt wired, wired Tall grasses, they swayed, called out your name In endless praise, endless praise

Lyrics:

You don’t have to think, or try It’s just nice to look in your eyes After all this time After all this time It’s like stepping back outside As the clouds roll off the sky Now that you are mine Now that you are Home And should a chance arise Don’t let it pass you by Don’t worry about being right Cause you can’t be all the time And in the darkest night The stars will be your light You won’t run, you’ll fly And you will fly right Home You can fly right You can fly right home

Lyrics:

I cannot think of a place where they turn something into nothing unless that something is worry but that's not where we are Refrain It's not love they did not teach you gentleness in the lessons that brought you the binding knots in how to tie your shoes given the choice, you'd eat the fruit seed, core, stem, and all Chorus Lately I've got nothing but time to recast the past as a vicious yet passing bruise lately i've got nothing but time to exact the necessary expressions of sincerity from you refrain Bridge then i hear teeth (if those can be heard) pinching the skin plucking its strings pleading with it crushing it parting it startlingly marking it penning proof, in skin print pressed blue hues i read this book about you when you're gone gone... Refrain Chorus it's not love, but it is still loss it is still loss it is still lost

Lyrics:

I’ve grown unaccustomed to my own life It’s like stumbling through somebody else’s house in the night Well I’ve tried everything on, but it’s all the wrong size Just like fumbling with the keys of a car you don’t drive So I decide to take the long way home drive the hurt from my heart on the road comb my hair in mirror to feel composed I’ll get there when I get there I’ve grown unaccomplished in my own right It’s like sleeping next to someone else’s spouse in the night Well I’ve followed the maps and I’ve read all the signs But it’s like going for a drive with no headlights You’re as good as blind if you can’t see the lines In the movie of my life, this part was more exciting but in real life... in the movie of my life I swear I’m more exciting, but in real life It just goes on and on…

Lyrics:

I will proudly pretend with you if that’s what you need for me to do for me to do for you I will proudly pretend with you I will proudly pretend that I’m a fool, I'm a fool I remember you told me I remember you told me I remember you told me there’d be days like this Get these golden handcuffs off me get this piano off my back, I wanna run I wanna run Hit and run types of conversations can’t get a word in edgewise except “Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh” I remember you told me I remember you told me I remember you told me there’d be days like this but what about years? months and weeks and years I guess I always thought that my life would be more like a makeover scene in a movie but you gotta suffer for yourself, baby suffer for yourself You’ve got this peculiar way of giving your help you say, bring out the tiny violin the choir of angels, and suffer for yourself, baby suffer for yourself I remember you told me I remember you told me I remember you told me there’d be days like this but it's been years months and weeks and years

Lyrics:

Summer came with the hungry eyes of a tiger and it preyed upon my idle mind Time will do that to you, she will do what she wants with your body She'll follow you from the street, up the stairs, and inside I feel the beast may stir, but I I don't turn on the light I won’t give in to this kind of hunger, no I I will make a meal of my loneliness in the night All you need tonight, All need tonight is to try If you throw your head back You could laugh for the longest dor Time will do this to you, she will do what she will with your body She’s scratching at the door, she’s howling on a plan That’s wide as it is steep I feel the memories stir, but I I still put up fight I won’t give in to this kind of hunger, no I I will make a meal of my loneliness in the night

Lyrics:

Forgive me but I sleep like a stone now, Forgive me but he drinks like the drowned now Oh oh oh... Can't shake the blame can't fight the feeling, The taste of young blood was just too appealing Oh oh oh... Chorus: Tie me down with your holy ropes, But cut loose the ballast on my high hopes My concrete heart would sink me so deeply, ever so quickly, Oh no... I thought you walked among friends, Lord knows you walked among death, Oh... I hope remorse she comes, Like a memory, she'll come for you, you Tie me down with your holy ropes Forgive me but I shine like the saved now, Forgive me but he'll dive like the brave now Oh, oh... Pretty and simple, pretty and young, Well my luck will move onto another victim Oh, oh.. Chorus But you turn my slander to wine, It's the only water can cool my fire I dress myself in shame, With the dust of ghosts I'm painting my face

Lyrics:

Is it that you don't want me to talk about it Is it that you just want me to walk around it 20 years old and the passion is gone, you woke up this morning, and there was nothing to want. My my my my my my my mistake, I don't know you anymore x 2 Oh... I leave the light on that's why I'll never be quite satisfied , oh I've dropped all ambition to remain appearing dignified, oh I leave the light on and all these orphan boys come knocking at my door But you, you runaway one, no you'll never come home, well My my my my my my my mistake, I don't know you anymore

Lyrics:

I was a singing bottle With the wind across my mouth When we tore up the mountain God sewed it up behind There are glass birds, There are broken doves In the holy rooms Of the empty halls And I can't tell which way Is north after all So let down your hair Let it sing down your shoulders Oh, Oh It can't be seen. It can't be seen. Can't be seen. There are glass birds, There are broken doves In the holy rooms Of the empty halls And I can't tell which way Is north after all Your hair....

Lyrics:

Rolling hills will adjust gently to my fatigue the path is exactly the distance I make of it Bind my feet my shins, my knees I’ll need them only as far as they’ll carry me, carry me Do you believe in something good? Do you believe I could do something good for you? I used to think that Confessing doubt would concede defeat But I dress my best in the doubts that you cast on me Bind my feet my shins, my knees I’ll need them only as far as they’ll carry me, carry me I’ll be good to you...good

Lyrics:

I awoke to the sound of a bird rearranging his feathers for that inevitable flight Hey, I realize I’ve been living in something akin to denial under the caving sky I’ve been running out of time, time out of mind Hey man, where were you going with those rose colored glasses on? Rose colored glasses on Don’t you know that red flags are gonna look like any old flag with rose colored glasses on? Rose colored glasses on Hey man, what were you thinking? Hey man, what were you thinking, like you’re the person to walk, walk on the moon? Is it too late for me now, all these lessons? Lessons…
