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

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

Please Please Please

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

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

My Back Pocket
03:46
|

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

The Ice Storm
03:36
|

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

In My Mind

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

Wash Your Feet
02:45
|
|||
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

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

The Button Unpressed
03:52
|
|||
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
