I had dreamt of this last night
but i forgot during the day

Now the breeze is blowing me back
cant seem to keep my eyes open

The window as small
lets the life in

The leaves rattle
lets the life in

You laugh in your sleep,
I'm oppressed in mine.
Drifting leaves will storm the sun.
Floating cinders in the sky.

Please turn these tapes.
Please record this sky,
so i can understand this place,
and don't lose this time.

'cause i feel twice.
Once in the past,
and again now.

Some period periodical
Trying to eliminate those free radicals.
She asked me the color of my eyes
I said blue, laughed then walked away.
All the hang ups
Old room mates
Late night calls asking the wrong name
Only to hang up at hello
Its alright
Its never anyone i want to talk to
Those people know not to call

Thief, Thief, with the broken knee
Thief, Thief, with the guilty conscience
and a reputation to be thoughtless

Liar, Liar, Cant hide away
Liar, Liar, is the one calling "Liar"
wellness isn't a state of mine

They've introduced fire

Bleed, Bleed, You're a murderous breed
Bleed, Bleed, you chit in the reed
Your army is two fewer than one. (just you and you're gone)

Your eyes, your eyes
you cant look me in the eyes

your eyes
they lie
we lie
we lie.

In my mind I'm constantly practicing this speech
that's probably going to be my eulogy

In my mind I'm rehearsing
In my mind I'm going over this

You apologize, but what does that mean?
Would it mean it wouldn't have happened if you only knew
would your actions have changed?
no, but its not that it was stolen
its that i let go of an empty shell,
a fragment of its former self
not the thing i once knew
and you took that.

That's what you think you stole from me
something for which you felt
you owed an apology.

The blood on my hands is purely yours
I could wash it off though.
I don't know if i ever would want to.
we are alone because we are simply to small to notice

Nothing in my mind
that can make me more interesting

There is nothing I can do
to seem important.

There is nothing I can become
to be the one.

I will have never been and
that's the fear that consumes me.

This is what it feels like
when you're unable to win.
This is what it feels like
when you're betrayed at every turn.

Cheshire cats will grin,
and I will be
amongst them

we said
I've been awhile
I've been along
we've taken all of our time.

you viewed me in the branches
you've seen me in the light
this tree has faded
the suns burnt
and its all gone to night

"Chased around"
she sung in the night
I can no longer relate
I know what they mean,
and i knew when i thought the same
but i can no longer relate.

Hands above the bed
orbs above our heads
counting fingers
pressing against the air
trying to see but nothing is there
the young man nailed to the wall
with the dark circles under his lies.

Which shadow is yours?
You're a prisoner staring at the wall.
Which shadow do you fear?
Which shadow is yours?
why even both
the shadow in front is just the body in back.
Fear no shadow at all.
as you're blind, bound, and beginning to fall.
what is sight, if you see what is not there.
Your love for him is a phantom limb.
What you feel isn't there at all.

A slow song
like ***
the lights blue and dim
my eyes are down.

My head is too.

Some motor running
at 6:00 in the morning
as i drink two pints
and feel stronger
pipes leak red
as i start to wander.
