Hold Me

Well I wish you knew the meaning
Of the words that you've just said
How they've stained the bed
In varying degrees
And as the malice pyramids
My thoughts begin to freeze
Like some unwanted breeze
Blows good memories away
And your mouth and tongue
Put it down to just a day
A moment of decay
It passes now you say
"Hold me, hold me
Ignore all our circumstances
All that we're not worth
Hold me, hold me
As though gravity won't keep me on this earth
Now there's not much wrong with lying
There's nothing wrong with lust
But when the two combust
They turn bedrooms into floors
And if love is the integral part
I hate the way it flaws its art
By giving itself up
To just one simple word
A word that can be set aside
Mixed up or cut and dried
At first it is a feather
Then a push out of the door
And in the cold the feeling grows
It morphs into a hate
That bold lover's mistake
Of playing drama queen
Singing "Leave me, leave me
I can't stand your honesty
Your need to be around
Leave me, leave me
When you want darling
I'll go without a sound."

Whispering

You're tied down by the veins in your arms
Yeah they'll tear you apart
And I'm broken by torn paths
Which end where they start
And I know distance but it doesn't know me
Babe it's just dirt in the ground
Maybe it's needed and maybe you'll show me
Exactly what I have been allowed
I'm tied down by the pain in my heart
Yeah it brings its own rope
And it ties so tight every night that
The good times start to choke
How can I be what you what me to be
When I only hear whispering?
And the acid burns
While the skin don't feel a thing
We're held down by the hope in our lungs
Just keep gasping for breath
But will you suffocate
Before I kiss you to death?
It's not that the water's warm
Just that we're out of our depth
And drowning leaves you too much time to regret.
My darling have you had too much time to regret?

Bedsheets

Only two boys for her
Only three times she saw
That before long
One would be gone
But of which she wasn't quite sure
Only three ways to take her
Just the four calls did he make
On the fifth day
She broke it away
Some loves are just too strong to fake
Some loves just take too long to break
Only one girl for her
Just this one set of eyes
I'm sure the two-timers drove straight by
While the bedsheets began sprouting knives
Then the bedsheets began sprouting knives
And she cried "Her bedsheets are no longer part of my life"
And I cried "My bedsheets are no longer part of her life"
And he cried "My bedsheets are no longer part of her life"
My my her bedsheets are no longer part of my life.

Brother

My brother
Where are you
I hope you're not cold
'Cause brother
If you ever are
Let me take you home
My brother
Where you been
I've not heard for a time
My brother
When we meet
Say "You bastard stop towing your line"
My brother
Raise your glass
Put it next to mine
'Cause brother
Have I told you
We've got all the time in the world

Partner In Crime
01:54
|
|||
|
I am just one with a drink meant for two
A romantic shotgun with a victim alive because
You and your bullet ain't here
Your murders accrue
I need killing darling
And solitary won't do
I need my partner in crime
The blood runs together
And the screams rhyme
When we walk
The sky roars
The wind doesn't bite
It locks its jaw
Where is the fun in surviving alone?
In amongst the bodies, the shattered broken bones
And your thoughts with skeletons
Trespass unknown
With just the warmth of your revolver
Down the telephone

Michelangelo
02:44
|

|
Please look into my eyes again
I promise this time there'll be no regret
If we can climb to the top of Florence again
And inhale the bright sunshine
That wound golden light sunshine
That Renaissance sky
That Michelangelo could have painted.
Is there divinity in your heart?
Have you kept that peace in your soul?
I've just got this piece of sky that was our own.
Michelangelo did you paint me her?
Michelangelo our lives the sun has burned.
Please look into my eyes again
I promise this time there'll be no regret
If we can just climb to the top of Florence again.
And inhale the bright sunshine
That wound, golden pale moonlight
That Renaissance sky
That Michelangelo could have painted
Michelangelo did you paint me her?
Michelangelo our lives the sun has burned.
Won't you paint me a second piece of sky?
One that is infinite - where our days are beams of light.

Spider
04:15

I got that spider rhythm
I can feel it crawling in your pitch
I got that spider rhythm
I'd rather follow you down to that ditch
Which we call a bed
I'd rather be caught in a clinch than caught in your web
Caught in a clinch, then I'm caught in your web
I got that tiger venom
The claw marks in plaster up the wall
I got that tiger venom
Who knew eyes could poison?
Who knew teeth could talk?
Talk all night
I want to be beneath you but I just ain't sure it's right
Honey I want to be beneath you, how about tonight?
I got that songbird tremor
It'll quake you to your very bones
I got that songbird tremor
It'll quake beneath you
When you're so very alone
I'll help remove the rubble
And it will reveal my soul
I'll help remove the rubble
And it will reveal your soul
Yeah let's help remove the rubble
And it will reveal their souls.
