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 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
sins of wantonness and
everything
that's good is gone
Sell
it all for glory from 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
Chorus:
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 singing
skin
begins to draw and tuck
Never
told there's a chance to win
What
couldn't be, wouldn't be now
(chorus)
Hold
your hands up to the sky and try
so
hard to rise above
But
everything is beating down
(chorus)
Shimmer
She
calls me from the cold
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
say's 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
Chorus:
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 and 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
'Til
I break at the bend
(Chorus)
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
Chorus:
But
now everything's trying to drag me down
But
I'll rip the sky from the ground
But
tell me who's my saving one
Jesus
or a gun
Stripped
away my last desire
Nothing
comes and nothings sent away
Happiness
I couldn't hire
Struggling
from these thoughts inside my head
(chorus)
All
that's safer 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 reject it until I'm dead
(chorus)
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 m
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,
desperatly
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 from 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 stale
Give
me another life
Excuse
me if I tried and failed
And
don't mind if I fall
It's
not that far at all
Chorus:
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 plans and silver nails
The
architects of pride
But
I'm the one you're hanging now
And
don't mind if I fall
It's
not that far at all
(chorus)
And
don't mind if I fall
It's
not that far at all
(chorus)
It's
Come To This
And
I found my head uncrowned and all life's sweet necter 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
Chorus:
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 too closed for too long
And
I ran out through the streets in hopes that I might find it there
but
all my buildings stared 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
(chorus)
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 and 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 done
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
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 tak my place
Close
my eyes, wish that I could find a place
To
hideaway
Troubled
days cloud my eyes
Stole
the sun from my skies
And
in this darkness I am tossing, turning
Lying
wide awake
Hold
my breath, wish that I could find a place
To
hideaway
Hideaway,
take me now
I
cannot face another round
