Your religion is a language I can't speak
Feelings bound up into shapes that I can't read
I've never wanted anything as bad as this
But belonging isn't worth
The cowardice
And I threw twenty years away
To get here
But you and I will
Never be the same
Blood and needles, makeup runs so black and bleak
She says with eager eyes, "I knew you would succeed"
But you abbreviate your tragedies, draw lines around your bliss
You changed your name to give up what you are
Ever the pragmatist
And I threw twenty years away
To get here
But you and I will
Never be the
Never be the
Never be the same

For Kevin

I would give anything
To blame it all on the chemicals
In my brain
Blame it all on my fate
Blame it all on my parents
And what they didn't do
Blame it all on what I've seen
Blame it all on the things
That I couldn't have ever been
Blame it all on pills and razor blades
Blame it all on the fact that
I'll never see your face again
But this is all my fault
This is all my fault
This is all my fault
This is all my fault
And she's never coming back
And she's never coming back
And she's never coming back
No you're never coming back
I would give anything
To feel your hands in my hair
As I'm falling asleep

'Til Death
04:20
|

|
Add this to the list of days
I'd hoped to never see
One of the thousand aching ways
I've lost
Not suited by the melodrama
You should learn to let things go
Another bitter purple pill
Shut your eyes, please, and
Swallow
And when
You are saying your I do's
Will you think of all the little things
We used to do
'Cause oh,
I do
Paper hearts you left affixed
To all my things, you
Didn't mean for them to hurt
So bad
I've heard it said
That time and distance
Smooth the edges down, but
When they're smooth enough
They'll just cut deeper
'Til you finally drown
In what you'd hoped to be, and
The blood of memory
And when you are saying your I do's
Will your throat catch on that promise
That we'd make it through
Cause mine does too
Torture me with olive branches
Salt in open wounds
That ring upon your finger
Fears I can't believe came true
But how they do, and darling
Now I smile at him
The way I used to smile
At you

Leaving
02:08
|

|
Well I never did believe
That your smile was for me
The shadows of the evergreens
Stretch their fingers on the ceiling
As the last light fades
I make my peace with all I'm dreaming
I've never been so quite afraid
But that won't stop my love from leaving
No that won't stop my love from leaving
No that won't stop my love from leaving

Alone
04:37

I have always been alone
Peace of mind it comes and goes
Bloody dreams and broken bones
I bet you don't even know
That I
Am breaking up inside
That my heart
Is broken into pieces
I have always been alone
Fading pretense in the snow
Naked now my weakness shows
I am drowning in the thought of you
I am drowning in the thought of you
And I
Am breaking up inside
And my heart
Is broken into pieces
On your floor
I can't do this anymore
Because you
You don't know
What you're doing to me
You
Don't know
What I've become
I have always been alone
I will always be alone
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be alone

Ghosts
05:14

I, I've walked for days
To find a space for
All the ghosts in this place
Lost, lost in the space
Of all you've taken
Of all the empty days
I'm asking for too much
I'm asking for too much
I'm asking for too much
I'm asking for too much
We burned
Threw it all away
To make it easy
To help you save some face
The blue brocade
And jet black lace
You know the truth
You've had
Your fucking say
So keep your pushing
We'll see what really breaks
I'm asking for too much
I'm asking for too much
No more photographs
No more photographs

When the first flakes fell to white
Gentle mounds piled up on street lights
My heart quakes
The snow's for you
Muted palette shades the vistas
An empty home echoes with footsteps
But I never lost the light
In your brown eyes
And we
Will live there someday
In that holiest place
And we'll smile
Again
As empty days fade into weeks
When my head lays on bloody sheets
I shut my eyes
And wish for you
The brightest light, the darkest shadow
A broken heart can feel the window blow
But I'm meant
To be with you
And we
Will live there someday
In that holiest place
And we'll smile
Again
