PROMISE -
i never begged you unless you count prayer.
i'm carrying these rosary beads like the hunter cares for the bear. my
fingers they miss you. my screams fill the air. i'm forming deep knives
to cut you and carve my way through the days without you. i'm making you
this promise. the kind you can now grow on and grow sure of. don't you
worry baby. girl you see i have no time to play these games. the ones
you hide but you gave no names. the one you sold when you gave your life
away. your description haunts me like the sun and the moon. my shadow
has left my side as your light has left this room. but your spirit lingers
like a ghost in the bed. like death ever creeping you sleep soundly without
breathing ever.
EVERYONE FADES AWAY -
solution is clear to me, kill
your phone and your tv. they kill within, murder from deep within. can
you taste what i've seen? your brains been washed clean of what you know.
the facts that fiction holds are ties that bind. cause you're already
dead and i don't care. don't complain to me that life's not fair. don't
wanna hear you run your mouth tonight. don't try and beat the clock. it
ticks for you and i so don't be scared, cause no one can be prepared.
there's a star on every head. the future holds deathbeds for everyone,
so dont bother trying to run cause youre not that fast son. we are all
just angels, under the ground. no one has heard from us in months, no
one cares to move our cars. 'cause we are gone, buried in the memory of
things forgotten.
THE SADDEST DAY -
i've had enough of your wordless fighting.
all you do is just stand there crying. never had a word to say. don't
let your feelings get in the way. i've never seen this side of you before.
like you've gotten up and run right out the door. never will be quite
the same. turned me into this kind of ball and chain. on again - off again.
it never seems to end. day and night it rages on. earth will no longer
see the sun. for it's the saddest day. we're finally on our way. will
you please just go and leave me alone. never ask to have you tell me you're
gone. just one solitary day. to work this out and do it my way. gonna
leave this as it is and tell the truth. were you ever gonna tell me you
were playing ruthless. or will i find out from your friends?
HOW YOUR HEART CHANGED SHAPE -
oh how your heart changed
shape, the shift from black to white. this rift in space and time is causing
me to break my bones to escape your web. turn water into wine. and all
the drugs it took to change your head were never quite enough to bring
us back at home or in your bed. oh how we used to roll through those city
streets of black and marigold. held tight close to me and my arm wrapped
'round you. we were invincible. and i believed the happenings of fairy
tales and movie scenes could all be reached between the you and me. and
all the drugs it took to change your head were never strong enough to
bring us back at home or in your bed. when you fell away, the thought
occurred that you might not return. a pain id never known before replaced
you in my heart to stay forevermore. now all the songs i sing are all
to bring you back to make you stay with me. and all words on deaf ears,
your feeling every phrase as sharp as any tear.
NO TURNING BACK -
it's written in my mind, a goal i
cannot find. even though i try this part of me will never die. i'm on
the other side, a place i cannot hide. there's no time to dwell on days
that are long gone. its written in my mind, you didn't have the time to
keep it all in line. and i can't stand to see you cry. i can't hide from
myself, i'm not someone else. the door is closed now, there's no turning
back. no matter what you do you never see it through.
