WAR
i must confess my principles are incongruous with my actions
i seem to make these promises on the fear of dissappointment
the things we agreed upon were not what i was thinking
i'm sorry but i only meant to end your violent hunger for devotion
do i stand before a means of war which i invented
have i built the beam from which my heart will be suspended
have i lain a topsoil so thin that flowers come upended
filling in the cracks between what is and what's intended
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
INSECT LOVE
bathing in the sun
chewed up by some bugs
tearing through my flesh
i can feel their love
i hope that they are happy
i feed them with my blood
today they may be rich
but tomorrow comes the flood
real real real real real real real real ...
what are the chances someone paid for me to grow up

EVERYTHING WILL NEVER BE OK
everything in your life's explained away
as part of a process that holds you back
a walk along an avenue of trees is just what you need
but the memory of divorce lingers on
everything will never be ok
everything will never be ok
there'll always be some part of you in pain
everything will never be ok
everything will never be ok
there's a lack of oxygen inside the sound
stops my brain from getting me high
everytime i wake up it's a brand new day
and i realize my body 's designed to die
everything will never be ok
you'll always be some part of you in pain
everything will never be ok
you can take an hour or two out of every day
: living in a world of lies you feel no pain
i 'm waiting for the day when i dont have to work
love will satisfy my impatience
you know how much my dear i would love to talk
but i'm far too busy on this occasion
everything will never be ok
everything will never be ok
there'll always be some part of you in pain
everything will never be ok
everything will never be ok
everything will never be ok
you'll always be some part of you in pain
take an hour or two out of every day
living in a world of lies you feel no pain
take an hour or two out of every day
living in a world of music you feel no pain
its just as real
just as real to risk pain as to suffer
everything will never be ok
you'll always be some part of you in pain

SILENCE
silence cos i'm vain
silence cos my mother thinks i'm beautiful
silence cos i'm vain
silence cos i'm scared of this passage of time
silence as i breathe
silence as my lungs become a metal box
silence as i breathe
silence as i cut myself off from the light
wherein lies my soul
wherein lies my soul
my eyes
i can't stand this silence
in oceans of desire
i can't stand this silence
that fear of death is...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CONCORDE
dreaming of a perfect image of me
from a past life i no longer live
living out another where nothing has changed
since the first time i saw my innocent face
who am i to tell you that life isn't fair
in the garden it's a beautiful place
you never understood what came from my lips
in a moment i thought i was safe
stolen hearts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TRAIN
running away from the scene of a murder
hiding from god in the back of a death machine
living in guilt under quilt of your mother
writing down all our principles in blood
abandon them when comes the flood
that might drown me
i'd kill my best friend,
the source of all my strength
i'd kill my best friend,
if i could save myself
Giving your soul to the dance of importance
Give me some blood, this is not a performance
Running away from the scene of a murder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OH NO
all i said was
you don't have to believe them
all i said was
if you fight a little you might change a lot
all i said was
you don't know what the truth is
all i said was
you can deconstruct the pain of the world
oh no oh no
you know it wasn't me ( --- ) )
oh no oh no
read my lips now there are five ways to count this
death by taxes
you might have emptied (---) with your teeth (---)
i am partly to blame for this now
oh no, you know it wasn't me you were speaking to
oh no oh no (---) is your job
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'M SO TIRED
i'm so
tired i'm so tired i'm so
tired i'm so tired i'm so
tired
will i ever feel the same again
will i ever feel young again
will i ever feel the same again
will i ever feel young again
i'm so tired of being sick
i'm so sick of being tired
i'm so tired of being tired
i'm so sick of being tired
i'm so tired of being sick
i'm so tired of being tired
i'm so sick of being tired
i'm so tired of being sick
i'm so tired of asking myself
will i ever feel the same again
will i ever feel young again
will i ever be in love again
will i ever have the time again
will i ever feel the same again
will i ever feel young again
i'm so tired
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TELL ME I'M RIGHT
took the road of ordinary things
when i made my decision
and i can breathe now
and i can sleep now
ohhh somebody tell me that i'm right
