- @SONG: why go
-
- she scratches a letter
- into a wall made of stone
- maybe someday
- another child
- won't feel as alone as she does
-
- it's been two years
- and counting
- since they put her in this place
- she's been diagnosed
- by some stupid fuck
- and mommy agrees
- why go home?
- why go home?
- why go home...
-
- she seems to be stronger
- but what they want her to be is weak
- she could just pretend
- she could play the game
- she could be another clone
-
- why go home?
-
- what you taught me
- don't come visit
- put me here
- mommy dear
-
-
-
- @SONG: black
-
- hey...ooo...
- sheets of empty canvas
- untouched sheets of grey
- lay spread out before me
- as her body holds still
- all five horizons
- revolved around her soul
- as the earth to the sun
- now the air I tasted and breathed
- is taking a turn
- ooh, and all i taught her was
- everything
- how quick the sun can
- drop away
- and now my bitter hands
- grate on broken glass
- of what was everything
- all the pictures had
- all been washed in black
- tattooed everything
-
- I take a walk outside
- I'm surrounded by
- some kids at play
- I can feel their laughter, oh
- so why do I see it
- and twisted thoughts that spin
- round my head
- I'm spinning
- oh, I'm spinning
- How quick the sun can
- drop away
- And now my bitter hands
- grate on broken glass
- of what was everything
- all the pictures had
- all been washed in black
- tattooed everything
- all the love gone bad
- turned my world to black
- tattooed all I see
- all that I am
- all I'll be
- yeah
-
- mm-hmm mm-hmm
- I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
- I know you'll be a star
- in somebody else's sky
- but why
- why
- why can't it be
- can't it be mine
-
- mm-hmm no yeah no
- mm mmmm no nonono yeah yeah
- we-
- we belong
- we belong together
- together
- oooh ooh
- we-
- we belong
- we belong together

- @SONG: jeremy
-
- at home
- drawing pictures
- of mountain tops
- with him on top
- lemin yellow sun
- arms raised in a V
- dead lay in pools of maroon below
-
- daddy didn't give attention
- to the fact that mommy didn't care
- king jeremy the wicked
- ruled his world
-
- jeremy spoke in class today
- jeremy spoke in class today
-
- clearly i remember
- pickin' on the boy
- seemed a harmless little fuck
- but we unleashed a lion
- gnashed his teeth
- and bit the recessed lady's breast
-
- how could i forget
- he hit me with a surprise left
- my jaw left hurtin
- dropped wide open
- just like the day
- like the day i heard
-
- daddy didn't give affection
- and the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
- king jeremy the wicked
- ruled his world
-
- jeremy spoke in class today
- jeremy spoke in class today
- try to forget this...
- try to erase this...
- from the blackboard.

- @SONG: oceans
-
- hold on to the thread
- the currents will shift
- guide me towards you
- know something's left
- and we're all allowed to dream
- of the next time we touch..........
-
- you don't have to stray
- two oceans away
- waves roll in my thoughts
- hold tight the ring...
- the sea will rise...
- please stand by the shore...
- i will be...
- i will be...
- there once more.........
-
-
-
- @SONG: porch
-
- what the fuck is this world
- running to?
-
- you didn't leave a message
- at least i could have
- heard your voice one last time.
-
- daily minefield
- this could be my time
- how 'bout you?
- would you hit me?
- would you hit me?
-
- all the bills go by
- and initiatives are taken up
- by the middle
- there ain't gonna be any middle any more
-
- and the cross i'm bearing home
- ain't indicative of my place
- left the porch
- left the porch
-
- hear my name
- take a good look
- this could be the day
- hold my hand
- walk beside me
- i just need to say...
-
- hear my name
- take a good look
- this could be the day
- hold my hand
- lie beside me
- i just need to say
- what can i take? (?)
- i just want to be
- i know that i would not ever touch you
- hold you
- feel you
- ever hold
- never again
-
-
-
- @SONG: garden
-
- the direction of the eye
- so misleading
- the defection of the soul
- nauseously quick
-
- i don't question
- our existence
- i just question
- our modern needs
-
- i will walk...with my hands bound
- i will walk...with my face blood
- i will walk...with my shadow flag
- into your garden
- garden of stone
-
- after all is done
- we're still alone
- i won't be taken
- yet i'll go...
-
- i will walk...with my hands bound
- i will walk...with my face blood
- i will walk...with my shadow flag
- into your garden
- garden of stone
-
- i don't show...
- i don't share...
- i don't need
- what you have to give...
-

-
- @SONG: deep
-
- on the edge
- windowsill
- ponders his maker
- ponders his will
- to the street below
- he just ain't nothin'
- but he's got a great view...
-
- on the edge
- know-nothin' town
- feelin' quite superior
- the aged come
- to the sky above
- he just ain't nothin'
- but he's got a great view...
-
- on the edge of a
- christmas clean love
- young virgin from heaven
- visiting...
- to the man above her
- she just ain't nothin'...
- she doesn't like the view
- doesn't like the view
- doesn't like the view...
- but he sinks himself deep.
-
- can't touch the bottom
- in too deep
- can't touch the bottom
-
- can't touch the bottom
- in too deep
- can't touch the bottom
-
- can't touch the bottom
- in too deep
- can't touch the bottom
- can't touch the bottom
- deep...
-
-
-
- @SONG: release
-
- i see the world
- feel the truth
- which way to go
- windowsill
- i see the words
- on a rocking horse of time
- i see the birds in the rain
-
- oh dear diane
- can you see me now
- i am myself
- like you somehow
- i'll ride the wave
- where it takes me
- i'll hold the pain
- release me
-
- oh dear diane
- can you see me now
- i am myself
- like you somehow
- i'll wait up in the dark
- for you to speak to me
- i'll open up
- release me
- release me
- release me
- release me
