gone 02:27
Take another step Toward me And I’ll pretend That I don’t see ‘Cause all I’ve done Is lie to you Out with the old In with the black & blue Cross my heart I know you’ll try To twist this up Now don’t you cry ‘Cause all I’ve done Is lie to you Out with the old In with the black & blue ‘Cause now you’re gone And nothing’s wrong Take another step Toward me And I’ll pretend That I don’t see ‘Cause all I’ve done Is lie to you All I’ve done is lie ‘Cause now you’re gone And nothing’s wrong Come out Come down from your cloud Not a sound Pick your hearts Up off the ground Come out Come down from your cloud I’m sorry… I’m sorry

push 02:45
I won’t disappear I won’t drown I’ll be the little gun That shoots you down You tried to shut me up Push, push me down I’ll send a little kiss With every round Cause I can’t be wasting my time On fools Who just cross every line You broke my heart It fell away You dug it up Most every day I tried…I tried To keep it safe But you always Found it again I can’t see why You wanna be that way I can’t see why You’ve gotta be that way I won’t disappear I won’t drown I’ll be the little gun That shoots you down You tried to shut me up Push, push me down Push, push me down Push, push me down But I’m gone I’m out of here I’m on my way I’m done I’m out of here I’m done

here i am 02:26
Are you afraid To fall in love Are you afraid Here I am Just talk to me Here I am Just be with me Here I am Do you think That love’s a rut That ties you up In wicked knots I’m afraid I’ve said too much I’m afraid To feel at all Here I am Just talk to me Here I am Just be with me Here I am Are you beginning to fall How obscene To want someone To hold your hand To come undone To make you scream To make you sigh To make you laugh You make me cry Here I am Just talk to me Here I am Just be with me Here I am Are you beginning to fall Here I am Just talk to me Here I am Just be with me Here I am Just talk to me

alexander 03:39
Some days Seem to last forever Some days Seem to drag All my dreams seem to be Fair-weather friends In the end They’re all gone I’ve weighed All my faults Against tomorrow Tethered All my hopes To after this To when I’m finished To a day That never comes All my life’s Been a grandiose tomorrow That exists Within the hollow Hollow…hollow Of my eyes Mister Mister Alexander Calder Nevelson…Akhmatova Too busy To get tangled Tangled up in dreams Too busy To get tangled Up in dreams Please are we done Sometimes, I think TV Is just a snare For you and me An empty box To lock us up To hold us down To train us Not to look around Please…are we done My favorite show is on

tow 03:06
Wasted on me Waste all your time On me And I’ll tow you Back & forth Back & forth What’s yours is mine You say all the time You don’t own me Can’t buy me up Buy my love Break your silence So-called friend I’ve given Everything I can I love you more Than I can say But I don’t love you much Today…not today You’ve made your One last, final mistake Push me and I’ll pull Drag me under If you will ‘Cause you’re only Drowning yourself Break your silence So-called friend I’ve given everything I can I love you more Than I can say But I don’t love you much Today

diadem 02:34
My life’s a bitter wind Choked through with diadem Bad luck’s a good Good friend of mine I have wounds I have wings Oh such bright happy things To learn…to love… To lose…is all… If I stumble If I fall Don’t mind me I’ll get up This cage This snare of print It was no accident I wove each knot With your disdain Monsoons of blessed ink Drown me Drown me Drown me Drown me…‘til I can’t think If I stumble If I fall Don’t mind me I’ll get up Don’t mind me I’ll get up

hollow eyed 03:21
Kiss me…hold me Coax me…into you Grey clouds rain tears Like a cyclops’ choir And all I can hope To aspire…to be An angel With a broken wing A hollow-eyed little girl An angel With a broken wing A lost face in the crowd I’ve used my body, yes But some of my soul Come undressed It hung Like a torn breast This part of my soul Came undressed Look deep Into my well I’ve hidden Such sorrow there Tell me I look beautiful Tell me I look scared I’ve tried To let you know All of the fears I’m afraid to show I’ve tried to let you be All you could be Without me Tell me I look beautiful Tell me I look scared I’ve tried to let you be

alcohol 02:15
You fall into a state of grace You don’t know who Or where you’ve been The ground reached up To kiss your face Best friend You’ve had all evening Alcohol It’s just a friend of mine It cuts me right to the bone Cuts to the quick Yet lovely numb My worries fall to the floor I’ll join them When there’s no more Alcohol It’s just a friend of mine Sometimes you fall to your knees As if a saint’s ecstasy And then the fog It rolls in And you’re lost once again We stumble…maybe we fall We don’t care If we get home at all I got my friends To see me through To kick my ass Right out of blue Alcohol It’s just a friend of mine Prayers just don’t reach The proper ears Too much religion’s Based on fear I’ll build a temple of glass To shore me up Against the past Alcohol It’s just a friend of mine Sometimes You fall to your knees As if a saint’s ecstasy And then the fog It rolls in And you’re lost once again Alcohol It’s just a friend of mine

gonna die 02:03
Death Comes creeping along, dear Death Comes rumbling ahead You’ve so much time In the barrel Till the hammer Hits the pin Some They drown on liquor Some wage every sin Some just keep on prayin’ Till that old man He steps in It’s digging holes In the ground, dear Hoping To see the sky Another payday’s No pay back For the years As they roll by Some They drown on liquor Some wage every sin Some just keep on prayin’ Till that old man He steps in I’ve been feeding The wrong dreams I’ve been blinder Than blind One foot Set in the grave, dear The other’s Set on a mine

america 01:55
Innocence crushed underfoot You lied There was no truth to it Our childhood’s a bust You teach us Life…Love…Liberty But only if you obey me The same ugly rut Sunday’s for show Monday’s a drag Money’s your god It’s all you have I’m bound & gagged Can’t be discreet I’ve moused around I’m duty-bound I can’t do this anymore Won’t be your virgin Won’t be your whore I’ve played this game I know the score Well…you’re the man And I’m bored Sunday’s for show Monday’s a drag Money’s your god It’s all you have I see through your lies You’re everything I despise Guns and drugs and apple pie Force-fed to us Throughout our lives Lock your step boys Back of the line We’re cropped and boxed And locked down tight The only exit…suicide Bite the bullet Have some pride Sunday’s for show Monday’s a drag Money’s your god It’s all you have I see through your lies You’re everything I despise

satellite 02:17
Oh satellite Oh satellite You don’t know You don’t know me Got a black tongue Got a mad soul Got a cripple heart The size of Texas I’ve been a rube I’ve been conned Felt so alone I felt like dying Who do you see When you see me I’m not naïve I keep on trying Who do you see Who do you see I’m not naïve I keep on trying Oh satellite Oh satellite You don’t know You don’t know me Got a black tongue Got a mad soul Got a cripple heart The size of Texas
