why didn't you wait?
I wasted so much time just to get here
snuck in with the heavyweights
now I feel overdressed and I feel small
yeah I feel small
I'll be your comfortable king of pets
I'm always mixing myself up with my stand-in
chasing abandonment
am I your favorite embarrassment?
if only anything I'm offering were glistening
so I could catch your wandering eye
then I'd never apologize
or sing some lonely song on the last bus home
I'll never get you home
I'll never get you

it's 12:27, it is or it was
my headache's getting better and my body's light enough
to outrun the next few deadlines
I glide, frictionless, ahead
it's 12:27 and I'll hope for the best
let's say it's september, at some point this is true
I'm getting pretty cause I gotta believe in you
I go out and over-indulge, spiral out in stereo
invent an intention to go with my big blue eyes
if I try and don't succeed I won't leave home again this week
I'm never, ever going back now
if I cry and no one sees then no one will think less of me
I've got this shit figured out
oh my heroes died, once bit, twice shy, man, I don't even like that guy
I'm never, ever going back now
I'll use the sky as a disguise, things no one thinks to look behind
I'm never going back again
I will embezzle and I will disgrace
I'm a very good liar
no hablo ingles
never admit it's overwhelming
never admit you're overwhelmed
they won't look closely if you've got nothing to sell
in the loudest rooms I allow myself to see
how much volume's within me
if I try and don't succeed I won't leave home again this week
I'm never, ever going back now
if I cry and no one sees then no one will think less of me
I've got this shit figured out
oh my heroes died, once bit, twice shy, man, I don't even like that guy
I'm never, ever going back now
I'll use the sky as a disguise, things no one thinks to look behind
I'm never going back again

ruby, what do you say?
we should spend our long days
in one another's company
ruby, tell me what you think
ruby, I have made you laugh
and nothing ever makes you cry
I could never try to hurt you
and I could never change your mind
ruby, what do you say?
ruby, I have made you laugh
and nothing ever makes you cry
I could never try to hurt you
and I could never change your mind
you can take your love to town
you can take it anywhere
I'll make our lives as easy as I can
ruby, enough is in the air

I saw you falling from a tree I was too scared to climb
I saw the scrapes up on your knees
you said that you were fine
you fell out with the falling leaves for falling out of line
while my bank accounts and interest fees will stand the test of time
oh you
you were so wrong
show me the colors
show me where they've gone
you threw the pills back in their face but you just got ignored
you say the book has everything but still you wanted more
you say they're coming in the night and they'll be kicking in the doors
they say you made up all your enemies and started all your wars
oh you
you were so wrong
when our colors blend together mine defer to yours
I thought you'd always be a mixture, girl
you said you'd never be absorbed
the last time that I saw you with all the money your abhor
you were trading someone else's dreams and looking for a lord
oh you
you were so wrong
show me the colors
show me where they've gone

Hunger

and if I die before I say I'm sorry
don't assume I am
come and see, I'm ripping out my sweet tooth
making room, building up bitter dams
and if I die before I say I love you
don't assume I can
I'm not with you in any real way
at least I
I don't think I
don't think I am
don't think I am
don't
I'd rather die before these open doorways
I'd rather smash some window panes
voyuerist, the thrill is gone in an instant
find myself behind the wheel again
but all of my friends
they say try and you'll see
they say it's really not hard
they say you've got to believe
those motherfuckers laughing at me
they will eventually
they will be
they will be down
they will be down here too
until it's here I will be patient
I will wait as long as I can
when it arrives I will be hungry
because I always am
yeah when your love, it finally reaches me
like the light from a distant star
or you're a shadow that's always been tracing me
I'm never quite sure what you are
my head is spinning again
and if I die before I say I'm sorry
don't assume I am
come and see, I'm ripping out my sweet tooth
making room, building up bitter dams

decompose
wasting in the living room
searching for something to chew on
I find it in an empty tomb
reaching like a kid in a costume
I'll be your monster
I'll handle the floor
mending all the sultry strings
let's play pretend when you come back home
home
home
home
we can slide
dangling by a simple gift
am I alone when I call this home?

Peter I'm not saying I'm sorry but I am gonna miss you
I know my thoughts will wander in your direction when the trail runs cold
you never thought that I could shed my skin
never believed that I'd be born again
but me and my angels got tired of diminishing
oh I'm red hot now
boiling A5 Stau
brand new angles
brand new strangers my new stripes allow
Peter I'm not saying I'm sorry

Master

all the rivers are flowing
oh darling
to catch a glimpse of you
are you leaving or going?
oh darling
are you running from or to?
I'm no singer
but darling oh darling
can I just sing for you?
and you're no writer
but the words you find, darling
can I just sing for you?
oh I could tell you how I'm feeling
but I don't know what good that would do
oh you only serve one master
while I serve two
so take me with you
darling oh darling
when the roads are calling you
cause when you're summoned
by the winds and the pages
there is no stopping you
and you say
I know, I know, I know, I know
you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't
you know, you know, I know, I know
you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't
oh you only move in one direction
while I never follow through
oh you only serve one master
while I serve two
and I may not share the vision
and I, I am scared to depend on you
oh you only serve one master
while I serve two
oh I serve two
are you leaving or going?
oh darling
are you running from or to?

Echoes In The Hall

the sky is dead I'm alive
the sun kicks in with a knife
I get so sick of it oh I get so sick of it
tomorrow I'll have a use
I can't stop thinking of you
I get so sick of it oh I get so sick of it
I'm lucky I get to choose
I sink back into my room
I get so sick of it oh I get so sick of it
possession grows and it moves
I've been ignoring the clues
I get so sick of it oh I get so sick
when I say you
do I mean anyone at all?
I'm losing form I'm losing substance
I am the echoes in the hall
when I say you
do I mean anyone at all?
I'm losing fire I'm losing focus
I am the echoes in the hall
the lost boys they will be found
the next time you come around
I am so sure of it yeah we must be sure of it
the warmth we can't make it stay
and I can't fight everyday
I get so sick of it oh I get so sick
when I say you
do I mean anyone at all?
I'm losing fire I'm losing focus
I am the echoes in the hall
when I say you
do I mean anyone at all?
I'm losing form I'm losing substance
I am the echoes in the hall
I'm losing fire I'm losing focus
I am the echoes in the hall

My Coming Transformation
04:30

|
imagine my relief when you started moving
it had been a week and I was getting scared
I could hardly speak as you started emerging
as this new glorious thing you had become in there
your wings they gathered strength
you flew off into the distance
I crawled up next to your shell
I'm waiting here in your tree
I marked the way that you left
I'll follow you when I'm able
this half done thing that I am is not all I will be
I can wait
it's okay
I can wait
