Orphan's Son 02:23
When I walk I will talk with you In my mind When you're gone I will follow you In my mind When you're home And you're next to me In my mind I will hold Hold you so softly In my mind

The Photo (free) 06:16
You are the opposite of us You are the definition of come and go You tell me what you want to know But you don't, you tell me that you do You crossed the Atlantic for what? You claimed that you did it for Love But I know you did it for your lonely self Yeah I know you did it for yourself I'll tell you nothing if you tell me where I'm going I'll tell you nothing if you tell me where it's going I Want to be the man who doesn't say a word I'm gonna be the man who doesn't say a word and Bite while you try You are the photo You are the photo

Waking up with no arms I call my sister to play my guitar So I can sing the finest song I've ever song before The Doctor said, "Give up the search for the Ness And proceed after the show to take a bath at home" So won't you Please surrender Your life to Me Ooh and my jet won't get there 'Cause the kids are saying I'm too heavy This is why they say to stay inside and I say Oh the big pleasure And the fall of big band The sound of your hand scatters across my face now Please surrender Your life to Me Please please please my soul My ripped rain coat My ribbons bow I found you Leave leave left alone All alone On my own I found you
4.
Tell Me Now 04:42
I look in your eyes They tell me I don't They tell me I have no home I have no home I Look at your lips They tell me I don't They tell me I have no home I have no home Tell me now Tell me right now Do you want me soul? If so I'll make it so Tell me now Tell me right now Blink my eyelids gold If so I'll make it so I look at your book And know every verse That tells me I don't That tells me I have no home I have no home Tell me now Tell me right now Do you want me soul? If so I'll make it so Tell me now Tell me right now Blink my eyelids gold If so I'll make it so

Give to me my Mona Lisa Sentiment in my back pocket hole How'd You find the mirror I broke it up for seven years The pieces thrown Do you wanna bleed I'll wait around, I'll cut you up and Down your sores And God forbid you know I want your soul spilled paranoia On the floor And when I break the silence From the vein I'll wonder how long it was sewn The pieces in there is what you had The sugar flavor water falling forward And as you crossed the street Your feet they beat to sound The alarms on their own So put your face up to the glass, The sand it once was burned invisible How'd you walk in line? How'd you walk in line? When I yelled upon the wall I wanna be a sucked on icicle You told me not to sing You took my ring finger To place on your mantel Do you wanna bleed I'll wait around I'll cut you up and down your sores And God forbid you know I want your soul to flap and flutter On the floor Give to me my Mona Lisa Sentiment in my back pocket hole
6.
My God I've tried to see your iris Shining in the sky In my mind I've called your name And said the things I've tried When we're all alone My Love I heard the train is coming Sounding on the run When you're gone I hear the whistle Words that would not come When we're all alone When my head falls My head will roll
7.
In My Mind 05:09
Time is going faster in my mind It's going faster In my mind Time is going faster Yeah it's going faster In my mind You are my Savior You are my Savior Back at the Village I lay in the grass to steal back my time I think of the birth, the first is the splinter that stabs at my mind I have a brother, he has another, we circle again I will admit, but I can't commit to the means to the end You Are in My Mind You Are in My Mind
8.
I'm not a criminal for you I can run free what's mine oh it is mine but I will let you step for me for who am I, am I telling the time? I'm not a criminal to you Please let me walk and say what you would say I'll keep a lid on what's read too I promise I will claim what you will claim I will not break down You're my Sheppard now I have no right to the body It's up to you to claim what you would claim and I will follow your lead honey, You are my lord, my savior and my king I don't See that as necessary I'll put it up its just one of a few I like to have my security The right to choose what does it do What does it do when you are gone? I will not break down You're my Sheppard now And I Will Wash Your Feet I will wash your feet I will wash your feet I am nobody I am nobody I will wash your feet I will wash your feet
9.
When You 05:52
When you wait outside The feeling grows The feeling grows I should have never of let you go And when you walk you're watched From every corner From every corner You can't keep nothing from me no more As the ground swells up Over all you Love And the red paint brush Made you bleed for nothing Why did you try and turn Your house and home Your house and home Away from all of the words I wrote Well I will tear it down Until it's gone Until it's gone Until it's nothing but steps and stones As the ground swells up Over all you love And the insects buzz Inside of both ear drums As You start to run The whole comes undone It took nothing You blew out the bush That flamed for your touch It took nothing A bet that was made A hole in your grave It took nothing The purple one too He caught it from you It took nothing Open wide And breath it all
10.
I Wake to sounds unknown The cage I used to own is now my home The soft exploding tone The one I used to hum was sung too low The clouds in your blue eyes Will bleed to show what's yours and mine As if they care or mind Or blow their smoke rings black and white I've dreamed of this moment The one to be the one to turn you on I reach my arm in song The button all alone When touched it goes I play the part inside Beautiful throw away the lines I hear the dust arise and watch you blink right through the light As we burn, to be part of the world Where particles meet particles And all the colors turn into everyone
