And you busted through our shells
And breaking through the headspace was something else
Now we're sitting tall where the turrets fell
We're still buying all those words you sell
I wonder if enough will be enough, will it be enough for you, or is it just too much for you
Taking over airwaves
All the lights, they're too bright, they're too bright
You know we'd fight and light the way for you
You say you lost something you had before
I feel the heat coming, a revolution
Something more
Never thought I be a part of something like this
All the rules I never broke, opportunities I missed
Love was always good enough until I had your kiss
Convinced me we are slowly sinking into the abyss
Everyone is so confused
They don't know what to make of you
Yeah, I didn't like it
But I didn't feel the need to fight it

Hung me out
Strung me out like wire
I'm too tense, I'm too taut
I'm wound up too tight
All I can I do is pray that I'm through with you
Let me tumble out of the dryer
Maybe I'm crazy
Threadbare fading
Somehow you have
Desaturated me
Spinning reeling
I think I see
You wore me like a sweater
Then tore apart the sheets

You feel it in the air
You could taste em in town
The crackle and rumble
And they all came down
And it didn't even matter
If you lock the door
They blew 'em all away
Like they did before
Chaotic and neurotic
Gonna rain and hale
The bright-metal comets
And the chemical tails
And the bombs came down
In the big black night
And we all went to heaven
In the little white light
I was in the cauldron
Sinking in the stew
Heard 'em in the alley
They're coming after you
Creeping and crawling
In the watermelon mist
They sang a little diddy
And it went like this
There are no monsters in your bed
The only monster is in your head
I haven't seen the sun
For ninety-seven days
My brain is all amok
And I'm wasting all away
I took a little walk and
It tore me all apart
Apathetic eyes
and the cold cold hearts
She was in the alley
Not another soul around
Swinging and a-swaying
Moving to a sound
She took me by the hand
She blew a little kiss
Sang a little something
And it goes like this
|

Some have said you're not for me
And most have thought I'm not for you
But it's easier to fall
Into someone you know
Than scaling walls alone
They told me you're like a breeze
That I'll show you where to squeeze
And I pray for the day
When you decide to stay
And like a stain I'll fade away
And it's true that love is blind
I'm out of body when you're in my mind
If it suits you baby
I'll be your biggest find
When I come around, I don't look behind
They told me you're a mystery to solve
I see puzzle pieces, all they see is walls
Some of the things I used to say
And do for you
I still won't let your heart go black and blue
They say I can be so deaf and blind
And it's true that you're always in my mind
And if you feel it baby
Don't leave me behind
I will be your alibi

And I gotta chase it down
Get it when I can
Sometime float by
Buried in the sand
Come up washed up
coated with mud
I don't want to touch it
I just want to run
I play the signal
Help me get this far
You found the water
In a washed-up broken heart
Could you get a table
To put our troubles on
I'll go get a shovel
For things that should be gone
And I need you to write down all you see
Everything we feel
For when I don't believe
The sun comes up
There are grooves in the sand
I found the note
In your steady hand
Written in a language
I had never seen
Talked in words
Echos in between
I heard voices
Turn me all around
You are in a circle
Body making sound
Danced on a symbol
Beckon me along
I'm about to crumble
Singing your song
I used to run from you
You never made much sense
The way you used your mind
And never built a fence
And now I see the sign
I see you coming through
All this time I thought it was me
And it was you
All that life you live today
All those things just came your way
A quarter shy, half your soul
And all those things inside your head
Nothing worse than empty beds
I know you are a strange ritual
|

I get the feeling you don't want me around
I'll pack my things and I won't make a sound
Found some precious gems in the hardness of your ground
Before you love again, let your defenses down
Take my heart, don't be scared
I know forgiveness is a hard fruit to bear
Where your heart on your sleeve
When it's dark you will see
The mark you made, a modest price
Return in spades, a better life
And I will always treasure the things we had
Reflect on the good and learn from the bad
An easy peace has settled over my lands
To lovers lost, it makes for stronger hands

Sometimes it's hard to breathe, what is real, what is not?
Sometimes it's hard to attach words to my thoughts
And I could pack a suitcase with the things I forgot
And drop it off on a blacktop parking lot
Wake in a sweat, but my dreams are cold
It's like we never met, because I spun the lies with gold
And I'm on my knees
Please don't go tonight
Your love is like a hurricane
Sink or swim in that violet rain
Inside the storm, she cannot see
Her seeking sparks cannot find me
But I'm so glad to have your smile in my life
It's like a warm reflection in the iris of your eyes

I feel the storm around you
Smiling through the rain
I know it's hard to take off
An overloaded plane
Jettison that cargo
You needed for a time
Let go of old
I need to draw the line
Found a recent picture
Dangerous terrain
i remembered older photographs
Everything about you changed
Now you are wired
To not believe a thing I say
Guess it's meant
This way
Love is a universe I cannot find
Don't know what is wrong, or what is right
Just a breath away, but I am years behind
And I get a little sentimental at night
And I drift into my future world
Where money's not a drug, it's just a girl
A promise made is a promise I cannot see
A promise I cannot guarantee
