Plainsong

"I think it's dark and it looks like rain" you said
"And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world" you said
"And it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead"
And then you smile for a second

"I think I'm cold I'm feeling pain" you said
"And it's all running out like it's the end of the world" you said
"And it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead"
And then you smile for a second

Sometimes you make me feel
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
"It's just the way I smile" you said

Pictures of You

I've been looking so long
At these pictures of you
That I almost beleive that they're real
I've been living so long
With my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures
Are all I can feel

Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you running soft through the night You
were bigger and brighter
And wider than snow
and screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found
All your courage to let it all go

Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white so delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you how you used to be
Slow drowned, you were angels
So much more than everything
Oh hold for the last time
Then slip away quietly
Open my eyes but i never see anything

If only I had thought of the right words
I could have hold on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart all
my pictures of you

Looking So long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for
The words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking
apart all my pictures of you

Closedown

I'm running out of time
I'm out of step and closing down
And never sleep for wanting hours
The empty hours of greed

And uselessly always the need
To feel again the real belief
Of something more than mockery
If only I could fill my heart with love

Lovesong

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm fun again

Chorus:
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm clean again

(chorus)

Last Dance

I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered
To see how we're ending our last dance together
Expectant too punctual but prettier than ever
I really believe that this time it's forever

But older than me now more constant more real
And the fur and the mouth and the innocence turned
To hair and contentment that hangs in abasement
A woman now standing where once there was only a girl

I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered
The walking through walls in the heart of Decembe
r The blindness of happiness of falling down laughing
And I really believed that this time was forever

But Christmas falls late now flatter and colder
And never as bright as when we used to fall
All this in an instant before I could kiss you
A woman now standing where once there was only a girl

I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered
To see how we're ending our last dance together
Reluctantly cautiously but prettier than ever
I really believe that this time it's forever

But Christmas falls late now flatter and colder
And never as bright as when we used to fall
And even if we drink I don't think we would kiss
In the way that we did when the woman was only a girl

Lullaby

On candystripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
And suddenly a movement in the corner of the room
And there is nothing I can do when I realize with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadows and quicker than flie
s His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning
I will wake up in the shivering cold
And the spiderman is always hungry

Fascination Street

Oh it's opening time down on fascination street
So let's cut the conversation and get out for a bit
Because I feel it all fading and paling and I'm begging
To drag you down with me to kick the last nail in
Yeah I like you in that like I like you to scream
But if you open your mouth then I can't be responsible
For quite what goes in or to care what comes out
So just pull on your hair just pull on your pout
And let's move to the beat like we know that it's over
If you slip going under slip over my shoulder
So just pull on your face just pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time down on fascination street

So pull on your hair pull on your pout
Cut the conversation just open your mouth
Pull on your face pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time down on fascination street
Down on fascination street
Down on fascination street
Down on fascination street
On fascination street

Prayers for Rain

You shatter me your grip on me
A hold on me so dull it kills
You stiffle me
Infectious sense of hopelessness
And prayers for rain
I suffocate I breathe in dirt
And nowhere shines but desolate
And drab the hours
All spent on killing time again
All waiting for the rain

You fracture me your hands on me
A touch so plain so stale it kills
You strangle me
Entangle me in hopelessness
And prayers for rain
I deteriorate I live in dirt
And nowhere glows but drearily
And tired the hours
All spent on killing time again
All waiting for the rain

You fracture me your hands on me
A touch so plain so stale it kills
You strangle me
Entangle me in hopelessness
And prayers for rain (x4)

The Same Deep Water As You

Kiss me goodbye
Pushing out before I sleep
Can't you see I try
Swimming the same deep water as you is hard
"The shallow drowned lose less than we" you breathe
The strangest twist upon your lips
"And we shall be together...
And we shall be together..."

"Kiss me goodbye bow your head and join with me"
And face pushed deep reflections meet
The strangest twist upon your lips
And disappear the ripples clean
And laughing break against your feet
And laughing break the mirror sweet
"So we shall be together..."
"So we shall be together..."

"Kiss me goodbye"
Pushing out before I sleep
It's lower now and slower now
The strangest twist upon your lips
But I don't see and I don't feel
But tightly hold up silently
My hands before my fading eyes
And in my eyes your smile
The very last thing before I go (x3)

I will kiss you
I will kiss you
I will kiss you forever
On nights like this
I will kiss you
I will kiss you
And we shall be together...

Disintegration

Oh I miss the kiss of treachery
The shameless kiss of vanity
The soft and the black and the velvety
Up tight against the side of me
And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed
And run in thickening streams of greed
As bit by bit it starts the need
To just let go my party piece

Oh I miss the kiss of treachery
The aching kiss before I feed
The stench of a love for a younger meat
And the sound that it makes when it cuts in deep
The holding up on bended knees
The addiction of duplicities
As bit by bit it starts the need
To just let go my party piece

But I never said I would stay to the end
So I leave you with babies and hope for frequency
Screaming like this in the hope of secrecy
Screaming me over and over and over
I leave you with photographs pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both of us knew how the ending would be

So it's all come back round to breaking apart again
Breaking apart like I'm made of glass again
Making it up behind my back again
Holding my breath for the fear of the sleep again
Holding it up behind my head again
Cut in deep to the heart of the bone again
Round and round and round and it's coming apart again
Over and over and over

Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces
I'll pull out my heart and I'll feed it to anyone
Crying for simpathy crocodiles cry
For the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone
Dropping through the sky through the glass of the roof
Through the roof of your mouth through the mouth of your eye
Through the eye of the needle it's easier for me
To get closer to heaven than ever feel whole again

I never said I would stay to the end
I knew I would leave you with babies and everything
Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
Screaming me over and over and over
I leave you with photographs pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet stains on the memory
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both of us knew how the end always is...

How the end always is...

Homesick

Hey hey just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
And I forget how to move when my mouth is this dry
And my eyes are bursting hearts in a bloodstained sky
Oh it was sweet it was wild and oh how we...
I trembled stuck in honey honey cling to me
So just one more just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home

Oh just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
So just one more just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
To never go home...

Untitled

Hopelessly drifted in the eyes of the ghost again
Down on my knees and my hands in the air again
Pushing my face in the memory of you again
But I never know if it's real
Never know how I wanted to feel

Chorus:
Never quite said what I wanted to say to you
Never quite managed the words to explain to you
Never quite view how to make them believable
Now the time has gone
Another time undone

(chorus)

Hopelessly fighting the devil futility
Feeling the monster climb deeper inside of me
Feeling him gnawing my heart away hungrily
I'll never lose this pain
Never dream of you again
