Weighed Down
03:18
|
|||
All your nightmares
Are getting easier to forget
But your dreams linger
In a haunted silhouette
Weighed down
Weighed down
Weighed down
By a ghost
A porcupine crawls
Across your liferaft
And I misread you
When you fake a heart attack
Weighed down
Weighed down
Weighed down
By a ghost
Disappear
In the back
Of your brown eyes

She Sparkles*
02:52
|
|||
Time, when we're young all we've got is time
Now it's the one thing we never find
And we spend every dime
Wanting more time
She reminds me that I'm alive
On an 18 hour drive
She pulles out a mix tape
From 1999
Yeah yeah
She sparkles
She sparkles
Oh she sparkles
The world around her shines
We drowned out our loneliness
With cacophonous miserable bliss
A neon bouquet
Curling round the lines of our face
You so beautiful I could cry
For you I would surely die
But I always choke when you ask
You ask you love me why?
She sparkles
She sparkles
oh she sparkles
The world around her shines
I love everything about you
I'm still learning how to
Change

I Drown
03:24
|
|||
You're a Juliette but I'm
No Romeo
Throw up my hands and
You aim a cross bow
The streets are decayed empty
Desolate dead
I only wanna count the cracks
In the ceiling above your bed
Tonight
I just wanna swim out deep
Into the Ocean of your eyes
Til I can't see the land
And the tidal waves rise
And I drown
Lay my head down upon your chest
Quiet sussurations of your heart at rest
They cry in a whisper that I can only hear
Saying come one now why
Not try something real
Tonight
I just wanna swim out deep
Into the Ocean of your eyes
Til I can't see the land
And the tidal waves rise
And I drown
Tonight
I just wanna swim out deep
Into the Ocean of your eyes
Til I can't see the land
And the tidal waves rise
And I drown

Song for Gene
03:04
|
|||
The stars are real oh the stars
are my home
It's not just some idea I made up
On my own
I navigate by the stars in the sky
The stars will be home until I die
Til I Die
Til I die
Noone left who walked on the moon
Noone left who walked on the moon
Darkness falling at the break of noon
And if you think you're something that
You're not
Mistake a painting
For mirror
Waves wash away your scribbles now
In the sand
Raise a glass and watch it all disappear
Noone left who walked on the moon
Noone left who walked on the moon
Darkness falling at the break of noon
Footprints stranded on the dust of the moon
Footprints stranded on the dust of the moon
Footprints stranded on the dust of the moon
Footprints stranded on the dust of the moon

Valerie
02:59
|

Valerie, it's no secret all the good guys lose
It's the price we pay I guess for all the chains
That we refuse
I'm forgetting what it's like to be closer to you
I'm forgetting what it's like to be closer to you
Valerie oh we're so rich for being poor
When I look up to the sky I see the outline
Of heaven's door
I'm forgetting what it's like to be closer to you
I'm forgetting what it's like to be closer to you

Snow falls around you
Melts in your hair
You soak my pillow wet
You know I don't care
I wish you'd take my scarf
Wrap it tight around my head
Drag me by it down the boulevard
Tie me to your bed
Snow falls around you
Catch a flake upon your tongue
Make me envy that snowflake
Floating round your lungs
I wish you'd take my scarf
Wrap it tight around my head
Drag me by it down the boulevard
Tie me to your bed
Snow falls around you
Kick a tree to knock it off your boots
I'm like that tree there
Desires tapping now against my roots
I wish you'd take my scarf
Wrap it tight around my head
Drag me by it down the boulevard
Tie me to your bed
Snow falls around you
Melts in your hair
You soak my pillow wet
You know I don't care

Snow falls around you

Wrap it tight around my head
Drag me by it down the boulevard
Tie me to your bed
Snow falls around you
Kick a tree to knock it off your boots
I'm like that tree there
Desires tapping now against my roots
I wish you'd take my scarf

Live Again
02:57
|
|||
Everyone's born perfect
Then the slow steady decline
Decay is nature's code
And our design
Don't tell me I've been
Dreaming alone
Don't tell me I'm dreaming alone
Give yourself a chance to live again
Give yourself a chance to live again
The transitory nature of our
Desolate breath
Hands in the air we dance
A desperate arabesque
Don't tell me I've been
Dreaming alone
Don't tell me I'm dreaming alone
Give yourself a chance to live again
Give yourself a chance to live again
|

9. |

I fall into your arms
And all my fears disappear
I get used to the smell of your hair
And forget the taste of my tears
Every breath is yours
Every move is yours
All of my blood is yours
I don't need myself anymore
I look up at the stars
the same my ancestors did
And wonder the things they know now
The clouds keep hid (from us)
Every breath is yours
Every move is yours
All of my blood is yours
I don't need myself anymore
Every breath is yours
Every move is yours
All of my blood is yours
I don't need myself anymore

GIVE UP THE GHOST!
03:31
|
|||
My heart is desiccated
A field of dead trees
Waiting to be set on fire
Kindled by the breeze
Give up the ghost
Once again
The sun will rise
And our shadows
Will take on the shape
We recognize
Our small shadows
Cut wrinkles into our brow
Pulling down our weight
Til the moon makes us bow
Give up the ghost
Once again
The sun will rise
And our shadows
Will take on the shape
We recognize

Weeds in the Gallows
03:38
|
|||
I was standing at the stations tonight
A cold rain blowing
Swirling around the neon
Gas light
Shadowy lady
Pulls up in a black car
She'd run from her husband she said
With her daughter, not far
Weeds growing in the gallows
Trembling in the wind
Everyone's asking will they
Cut them down again?
She said she needed
Thirty seven dollars for a room
I gave her fourty
She looked like a ghost
Who'd seen her own tomb
Weeds growing in the gallows
Trembling in the wind
Everyone's asking will they
Cut them down again?
Weeds growing in the gallows
Trembling in the wind
Everyone's asking will they
Cut them down again?

Ghost Affair
02:20
|
|||
I met you under the willow tree
Studying your own headstone
Startled to see me
We died the same age
Thirty years apart
Still young enough to
Burn fire in our hearts
'
Walked round the cemetery every night
Talking about our past lives
Til the morning light
Your husband stopped coming round one day
Then we fell in love in our
Ghostly way
Try to run my hands through your hair
But I just caress the air
We don't age we don't change our shape
And this awful cemetery we can never escape
Don't wanna pretend to touch you anymore
Hell is sealed shut and heaven closed its door
|

Turn all the lights out and leave me
Dreaming of your arms
Hang your chandeliers over my head
When it starts to storm
I can't live without your private sigh
And I'm drowning in your shadow
When I'm swimming in Your love
As the moon through your window
Does a cannonball from a diving board
Above
Close your eyes and you dream
Of her hair in a fiery rain
So you learn that desire
Paves the road to pain
Like a fly
Caught in a silver spider web
And I'm drowning in your shadow
When I'm swimming in your love
As the moon through your window
Does a cannonball from a diving board
Above
I can't live without
Your private sigh
Like a fly
Caught in a silver spider web
And I'm drowning in your shadow
When I'm swimming in your love
You blanket your red eyes with
The knuckle of your green glove

Rely
02:13
|

You're the only thing on which
I rely
I send the world a line
Always no reply
Yellow weeds bloom
in the spring
They leave their wishful skeletons
They blow into the brink
You're the only thing
On which I rely
The clouds corrupt the prayers
We send up to the sky
The temperament
of the sun
Tears fall into the sink
When the day is done
You're the only thing
on which I rely
I send the world a line
Always no reply

Juliette
04:07
|
|||
Juliette never flinches
Juliette could stare down the sun
Her heart weeps into the gutter
Where cigarettes are put out in her tears
Every day, it's like you're further away
From where you were yesterday
She runs through the dark of the morning
I dream of an open window thunderstorm
Her dignity in silence
Against cruelty, and violent storm
Every day it's like you're further away
From where you were yesterday
Devils sneak in through a crack in the door
Try to put them back, you let in more
Juliette doesn't know me
She's a ghost in the attic fumbling for a taste of eternity
Her shadow always haunts me
Pure darkness enclosed by a light I live to see
Every day it's like you're further away
From where you were yesterday
Devils sneak in through a crack in the door
Try to put them back, you let in more

Branches
03:13
|

Beyond where we can feel any pain
You welcome the rain
To wash the blood off the streets
Skeletons shiver in the west wind
When it blows through their bones
When it blows through their bones
Sifting through the leaves
Falling from your branches
Sifting through the leaves
Falling from your branches
I'm a kite tangled in your upper reach
I'm the fragment of a shell
Buried on your beach
Sifting through the leaves
Falling from your branches
Sifting through the leaves
Falling from your branches
Now all we feel is sorrow
Now all we feel is sorrow
Sifting through the leaves
Falling from your branches
Sifting through the leaves
Falling from your branches

Tell me about yourself
How do you establish relationships with your coworkers?
Where do you see yourself in five years?
What's your greatest weakness?
What are your strengths?
How do you see yourself fitting in here?
Describe your most recent position
How did you hear about this job?
What do you know about this company
What is your greatest professional achievement?
Tell me about a challenge you faced at work and how you dealt with it?
What's your dream job?
Why do you want to work here?
What kind of pay scale are you looking for?
What time of work environment are you looking for?
Tell me about a time you exercised leadership
How would your boss describe you?
Tell me about a time you overcame adversity?
Can you explain this gap in your employment record?
Why do you want to work here?
How do you deal with stressful situations?
What do you like to do outside work?

With Your Eyes On Fire
03:39
|

Let go
Let go of all your preconceived
Notions of me
I want more
I want nothing more than
Every piece of your being
Eventually
You're gonna burn a hole in me
With your eyes on fire
Eventually
You're gonna burn a hole in me
With your eyes on fire
Drown out all the noises
Of your
Plans today
I forget everything but
Your smile
When you smile
Eventually
You're gonna burn a hole in me
With your eyes on fire
Eventually
You're gonna burn a hole in me
With your eyes on fire
Life doesn't make much sense
Without you near me
It's clear I don't know where
I belong
Except with you
Eventually
You're gonna burn a hole in me
With your eyes on fire
Eventually
You're gonna burn a hole in me
With your eyes on fire

Need To Bleed
07:06
|
|||
You're a ballon in a child's hand
Hovering under a ceiling of nails
You're a power line weighed down
By a caravan of snails
You're a grain of sand
Stuck on Christ's sandal strap
As he wandered through the desert
Hazily by the devil's traps
We all need to bleed sometimes
We all need to bleed
You're the grains of coffee discarded wet into the dirt
You're the microscopic hole
That made me throw out my favorite shirt
You're the lightbulb over the bathroom mirror
The only light I look good in
You're the temptation and then the atonement for
My sin
You're a dead leaf buried under a welcome mat
In the spring
You're an unwritten melody
Nobody but the wind remembers how to sing
We all need to bleed sometimes
We all need to bleed
We all need to bleed
You're the fossil of a bullet
Whose tragedy diminishes with time
You're a sweet and innocent charity with
The face and facade of a crime
You're the coin I've stared at for years
Trapped inside the heating vent
You're the selfish lover
We forgive so easily once they repent
We all need to bleed sometimes
We all need to bleed
We all need to bleed
You're the girl at the table
With the guy with the distinct drunken howl
I hear him every time I listen to a live jazz album
Drowning out Coltrane's growl
You're a matchstick struck three times
And then discarded and thrown away
You're a beautiful word to hard to know
To hard to pronounce that noone will say
You're the thumbprint on the glass
Of a ferris wheel car
You're a distant planet
Mistaken in a telescope for a shimmering star

Dark Leaves
03:48
|
|||
We need things we can cling to
Songs we can sing too
Eyes we stare into
That don't want to see our skulls caved in
Resentment bubbles
Under words and smiles
Of friends and family
Who crave blood and suffering now
We can see the blue sky
We can see the blue sky
We can see the blue sky
Through the dark leaves now
The red sun takes off his shirt
The red moon makes its bed
The stars all line up at the counter
Staring at their phones now
We can see the blue sky
We can see the blue sky
We can see the blue sky
Through the dark leaves now
We can see the blue sky
We can see the blue sky
We can see the blue sky
Through the dark leaves now
Take it all for granted
And then it's real
It's hard to find something real
You forget how hard it is
We can see the blue sky
We can see the blue sky
We can see the blue sky
Through the dark leaves now
Don't let it go away
Your love is real

I'm not feeling right
The birds have lost their song
Sometimes too much light
You see clearly all is wrong
Tiptoe around the dragon at your door
Tiptoe around the dragon at your door
Serenade the swelter of silence that
Makes you feel so lonely
You look at me and say
You see no trace of reality
Tiptoe around the dragon at your door
Tiptoe around the dragon at your door
Turns out I don't mind
The knives you keep
Under your pillow all the time
Tiptoe around the dragon at your door
Tiptoe around the dragon at your door

Stay At Home Dad
01:51
|

My son turned 8 today
i swear it was just yesterday
The first time
Our apartment felt so small
Now a stay at home dad
Tending bar it isn't bad
Except for the dirty looks
From suspicious moms
Things are changing all the time
We don't really see them change
Try to trap the ghosts of memories
While they're in our range
Home at 4 and up at 8
What I'd give to sleep late
We just get used to
Tired all the time
Little fingers Little toes
Milk stains on all my clothes
Everything is familiar
But feels new
Things are changing all the time
We don't really see them change
Try to trap the ghosts of memories
While they're in our range

A Toy Boat
02:11
|

Wind blows through the branches
Out your bedroom window
The autumn sun collapses
Its heat on your haunting glow
A toy boat sits on your shelf
You no longer recognize
A toy boat everything changes
You don't age in your eyes
Flamingos hover in the clouds
of your waking dreams
We wander through the darkness
Shivering on our balance beams

Tiny Things
03:05
|

When people die
You don't feel them leave you all at once
Even in the chest buckle
of the news
Right in the punch gut moment
But sooner than simple
They fall from your arms
Little by little
Like spilling tiny things
Acorns
Pebbles
Twigs

I felt a sting when she came in my sight
Wind in the leaves swaying shadowy light
Her flashing eyes like fire in the sky
Lips only seen, give up and die
Had a dream she ran away from me
I reached out for her she turned into a tree
She saw me and ran, her gown round her knees
All of my pleas drowned out in the breeze
Her boucning hair, the ribbons tangled there
I toucher her gown, she let out a desperate prayer
Had a dream she ran away from me
I reached out for her she turned into a tree
Had a dream she ran away from me
I reached out for her she turned into a tree

Lean Against Me
02:54
|
|||
When the rain blows wild and hard
Knocks you off your guard
I'll be a shelter from the storm
When the waves crash on your ship
And all your senses slip
Like Christ I'll make the waters calm
You can lean against me
When the world tries to knock you down
When your demons start to moan
You feel helpless an alone
I'll stare those demons down
When your friends all disappear
And you dread the bathroom mirror
Look into my eyes
You can lean against me
When the world tries to knock you down
When you feel cheated you feel used
Suffer all the world's abuse
Know I could never do you harm
When dust coats your wedding gown
And life has let you down
Let's make tomorrow new
You can lean against me
When the world tries to knock you down

Your Gravity
03:26
|

Go on and bury me underneath your eyes
Let me feel the dirt fall over my head
Let me know the ghosts you hide there
Your army of undead
Go on and smother me
Underneath the pillow of your heart
Let me slide down the blood in your veins
Cradle me in the hammock of your sweet brain
I'm falling down
But I wanna be in your gravity
I'm falling down
But I only know how to be in your gravity
Go on and accuse me
Of whatever you will
Indict me, incite me, invite me to pain
Go on and arrest me
Cuff me to your will
Tie me to your beauty make a bonfire
Of all my desire
I'm falling down
But I wanna be in your gravity
I'm falling down
But I only know how to be in your gravity
Are the storm clouds blowing away
Or are they here to stay?
I'm falling down
But I wanna be in your gravity
I'm falling down
But I only know how to be in your gravity

Pendulum
03:14

I'm in my cell
Carving your name and counting
Hash marks
I'm in the darkness
Collecting whispers
And fumbling for sparks
My shadow asks me
Is this really what you
Want to be?
You remind me there's more
To this life than the things we
Can see
There's a place we can go
Where nothing will change
And our memory doesn't pounce
On experience and reaarange
I kissed you and lost my breath
Under your parents' cherry tree
You remind me there's more to this life
Than the things I can see
There's a stark pendulum
Swinging wild and free in your heart
With a blade fixed on its end
Slowly cutting my guts apart
Go ahead cut me
Tear my flesh
Tear my beliefs
Tear everything sacred to me
You remind me there's more to this life than the things
I can see

if the rain falls hard tomorrow
and the wind tears the branches from the trees
and lightning rips the sky
and the floodwaters rise to your knees
if the rain falls hard tomorrow
if the locusts come tomorrow
and fill the fields and cover the sun
and their hiss drowns out our cries
and everything
if the locusts come tomorrow
love can feel meaningless in the face
of things you can't control
it's easy to be cynical
it's so hard to be kind all the time
if the rain falls hard tomorrow
don't forget who you are

My Phone

Carry it round everywhere
Reflecting my eyes torn
Sleep with it next to me
Check it first thing in the morn
My phone my phone
Makes me feel so alone
Alone alone
Every day with my phone
Ignore my kids for a while
Read about people I don't know
Forget about the moon and the sun
Head down glued to the glow
My phone my phone
Makes me feel so alone
Alone alone
Every day with my phone
I wrote the words to this song on it
I would have done fine
With a piece of paper and a
Creative fit
My phone my phone
Makes me feel so alone
Alone alone
Every day with my phone
My phone my phone
Makes me feel so alone
Alone alone
Every day with my phone

Pick Your Teeth Up
03:47
|

You seize the shadowy sun from the grip
Of the moon
Watch the stars fall like
Sighing balloons
Shadows mingle on the wall of death
Waving trembly hands
I call upon the flames
Swallow the sand
Pick your teeth up
Off the floor and
Clean the blood off
Your door
You're still alive
At least for now
The face of the morning turning blue
Choking on the blinds
The stars brush their teeth
At dawn
The dental floss
Unwinds
Pick your teeth up
Off the floor and
Clean the blood off
Your door
You're still alive
At least for now
It was never fun being alone
Pick your teeth up
Off the floor and
Clean the blood off
Your door
You're still alive
At least for now

Untitled #3 (Inferno)
02:16
|

The wind draws its breath
Swallows my song
It blows in the void now
I live in the void
Perform CPR
On the ghosts
Wandering your hall
Awaiting your call
The path to paradise
Begins in hell
And when you cross the borderline
Of heaven you can't even tell
Trembling cold
Under my eyes
All of the time
Now all of the time
Your fate is a gift
It can't be taken away
You shake it and pray
A phantom or a ghost will stay
The path to paradise
Begins in hell
And when you cross the borderline
Of heaven you can't even tell
The more perfect you are
The more you feel pain
The more you live in pleasures
Surrounding you

In a desperate traffic jam
Arms dangling from outside
A passenger bus
Smoke fills my black car
I kick the window
And I'm floating with the clouds
Will you keep me company
Through the darkness slowly settling
Our shadows disappear
In the indifference of the bedroom mirror
Light falls on darkened eyes
Like a streak of paint
Permanent in my memory
Cigarettes put out
Against a brick wall
And your leaning against agony
Will you keep me company
Through the darkness slowly settling
Our shadows disappear
In the indifference of the bedroom mirror
Your tiara you stash away
And a peacock pirhouettes
Across the way
Claudia crawl through my window at night
Climb the balcony
And let loose your tears
Will you keep me company
Through the darkness slowly settling
Our shadows disappear
In the indifference of the bedroom mirror

The familiar four in the morning alone
When your ghosts lean in and moan
So alone I'd throw my arms around my bitter enemy
Throw my arms round things only I can see
You left without saying goodbye
Jenny with the stars bleeding in your eyes
We all can bleed any time we want to
It's a choice to see the day through
The smell of your skin folded in my pillow
Your voice echoes in the leaves falling below
You left without saying goodbye
Jenny with the stars bleeding in your eyes
"I love you
Let's run away
I love you
Let's run away"
You left without saying goodbye
Jenny with the stars bleeding in your eyes
You left without saying goodbye
Jenny with the stars bleeding in your eyes

Katie lays her arm
Across your knee
Leans her head on your shoulder and says
It's always seemed to me
The summers go so fast
It's like nothing's meant to last
Then she spits out her gum
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer to her
She vanishes like a phantom in the darkening stars
Katie borrows my shirt
and says it looks better on her
I try to hide my pain
but I'm not a natural flirt
She gardens in the morning
Whispers to the trees
Voice like a muzzle of bees
She tells me her dreams
Never closer
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer
She vanishes like a phantom in the darkening stars
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer
Every time that I get closer to her
She vanishes like a phantom in the darkening stars

Should have moved to California baby
When we were young and we had the spark
I know I'm stumbling in the dark
No use looking back now
French dude comes in for a last call
Gives me trouble now I wonder what life is for
I know there's something better for me
I know you only get what you give
This aggression will not stand
This aggression will not stand
This aggression will not stand
I'm fumbling for my keys up the sidewalk
I'm trouble for the dead leaves under my feet
I know I love the smokescreen of the fall
And I fall for October's slight of hand
This aggression will not stand
This aggression will not stand
This aggression will not stand
This aggression will not stand
This aggression will not stand
This aggression will not stand

I will
Go too
Wherever you
Go
I will go
Too
And so
Your hairbands
On the
bedstand
And so
I wait
For the wrinkles
In your
Hand
To disappear
One day soon
Wherever
You go
I will
Go too
Wherever you
Go
I will go
Too

He's gonna change things up
He's gonna run it like a business
He's gonna surround himself with the best people
He's gonna make deals
He's gonna make us sick of all the winning
He's gonna bring back coal
He's gonna bring back Christ from the dead
He's gonna lower my taxes
He's gonna lower your taxes
He's gonna abolish taxes forever
He's gonna punch back
He's gonna punch first
He's gonna punch every bad guy
And kiss every baby
He's gonna....
DRAIN THE SWAMP
DRAIN THE SWAMP
DRAIN THE SWAMP
He's gonna deregulate industry
He's gonna lower corporate taxes
And it's gonna trickle down to us
He's gonna get rid of Obamacare
He's gonna make us all healthy
He's gonna make my wife love me again
And undo my last game of high school football where I threw the interception that blew the game
He's gonna make me stronger
He's gonna reunite the smiths
He's gonna make it so you never hear nickel back over the loudspeaker at Kroger
He's gonna take away all our pain
He's gonna
DRAIN THE SWAMP
DRAIN THE SWAMP
DRAIN THE SWAMP
He's gonna make it so
Any time you call a 1-800 numnber
You will be directly connected with
The person you need to get ahold of
He's gonna
DRAIN THE SWAMP
DRAIN THE SWAMP
DRAIN THE SWAMP

When I think of your eyes
And the striptease
They do
With your brilliant disguise
You hair on your shoulders
Your dark skin
A labrynth of memory
I get lost in
I guess that there's a light that shines
In You
That makes the darkness something
I know how to get through
Your shadow
Dark milk
Spilled on the bed
I'll cry over til the day I'm dead
You changed me
And then you said
People never really change
I guess that there's a light that shines
In You
That makes the darkness something
I know how to get through

There's The Rub
01:39

Grey November morning I
Can't find comfort in the sky
I'm faded like a torn ticket stub
Ah there's the rub
I see a gilded chandelier
In your eyes after my third beer
The transformation of a tiger cub
Ah there's the rub
The cold draws desperation from our breath
I draw my weapons stare down death
The ghosts with their cigar jacket club
Ah there's the rub

And if I die
Tomorrow that's alright
You'll still shine your light
On the world

Floor Of My Heart
02:15

Celestial stains
yellow on your cheek
Your kisses cracks in eternity
Through which I desperately peek
On the floor of my heart
Underneath the dust
Are your permanent footprints
And your name written in rust
I try and drape a new skin
Over my corroded bones
Run a comb through the stars
Decipher their coded moans
On the floor of my heart
Underneath the dust
Are your permanent footprints
And your name written in rust
On the floor of my heart
Underneath the dust
Are your permanent footprints
And your name written in rust

I crave your mouth
I crave your shadowy breath
When your darkness swallows me
I get an ambivalence about death
Tell me all your secrets
Tell me all your lies
Tell me everything in between when you have the time
Cause I
Reduce myself to nothing for you
Cause I
Reduce myself to nothing for you
There's a sunbeam flaring in you
you never let me see
I only know its there by the warmth
I get when you're round me
Tell me all your secrets
Tell me all your lies
Tell me everything in between when you have the time
Cause I
Reduce myself to nothing for you
Cause I
Reduce myself to nothing for you
Cause I
Reduce myself to nothing for you
Cause I
Reduce myself to nothing for you

Somber clouds hang from
Your eyes
The morning breathelss cries
Through the window
Gnashing its teeth
And barely let's the sun fall across
Your skin
I'm in love with you now
I've been in love with you since I was born
I'll never be
Ready to say goodbye to you
The waves crash in your mouth
The moon reflects on your cheek
Everything I want is buried
And lost in the shadows behind your eyes
Don't let me grow old
Without you
And if I leave this world before you
NAme a star after me
I'll never be
Ready to say goodbye to you

Let Me Live In Your Eyes

Let me live in your eyes
Forever my love
Let me live in your eyes
Forever my love
There's a wolf a the door now
I'm not afraid of anymore now
I'm not afraid
Let me live in your eyes
Forever my love
