1.Ceilings
I helped you out of yourself
and right back in
You say it's foolish
but there's something
that you miss
You want a car
with a clean interior
I've been far
but it's never been serious
Take your time
take your time to arrive
Take your time X2
We move slow down the roads
with the lights out
You whisper soft
if we're lost
don't turn around
We'll take our time
take our time to arrive
Take our time X2
Where we are
There are no ceilings
where we are
I could be anywhere
as long as I'm with you
We watch the sky
from the side of
the interstate
And recite favorite lines
from the songs that play
We took our time
took our time to arrive
took our time X2
Where we are
There are no ceilings
where we are
I could be anywhere
as long as I'm with you
And when you look at me
I believe
I'll always be high
when I'm with you
Where we are
There are no ceilings
where we are
I could be anywhere
as long as I'm with you
And when you look at me
I believe
I'll always be high
when I'm with you
I helped you out of yourself
and right back in
2.Crystal Selves
In all the violent
loud and bright
Are you more alive
You crush it down
in gentle breaths
Til it breaths just right
Don't you feel love X2
Don't you feel
so much better
Don't you feel love X2
Don't you feel
so much better
now that you can't
see through
Nothing can reach you
You stay awake
for several days
cause nothing sounds right
Sometimes some time is
all it takes
to change your mind
Don't you feel love X2
Don't you feel
so much better
Don't you feel love X2
Don't you feel
so much better
now that you can't
see through
Nothing can reach you
Aching in the absence
Wondering where you've been
You hardly lift
Will you always be the one
who wants to love
but never will
Don't you feel love X2
Don't you feel
so much better
Don't you feel love X2
Don't you feel
so much better
now that you can't
see through
Nothing can reach you
3.God Save Me A Gun
God gave me a gun
Said take everyone
Standing in the way
Of what you really want
So I took his advice
I never thought twice
Headed out to find
To find a Victim
An if I never run
Out of ammunition
I'll just keep shooting
Cause I'm the only one
That likes to see
myself hurting
God played me a song
Said sing alone
How fragile is the sound
When no one is around
You keep so damn confused
By love you always lose
But child it's
what you choose
Lost and lying on the ground
So I rose up and danced
Like an angel
with a broken body
Eyes turning to glass
To run the rain
across my face
Streets held out their hands
To lead me back to
my sweet manger
And tuck me into my flesh
Where I woke up
to an answered prayer
4.Anxious Disease
Tells me
she's got an anxious disease
It's keeping her
up from sleep
It's nothing to do with me
Just a pill
that she'll always need
She knows not
what she's doing
Just that she can't stop
All good things in time
Honey I never realized
Everything was better
on its way
I love you but
I'll never stay
In the bedroom
she takes down
all of her clothes
Lies to the floor
cause she knows
Everything's falling
and she doesn't want to
stand alone
She knows not
what she's doing
Just that she can't stop
All good things in time
Honey I never realized
Everything was better
on its way
I love you but
I'll never stay
Even if the world
stands still
You will always feel behind
All good things in time
Honey I never realized
Everything was better
on its way
I love you but
I'll never stay
All good things in time
Honey I never realized
Everything was better
on its way
I love you but
I'll never stay
All good things in time
Honey I never realized
Everything was better
on its way
I love you but
I'll never stay
5.II
Pigment pale
and figure frail
I feel your hands
tremble in mine
As you rest your head
on the motel bed
Asking what's left behind
When you take a bow
And the curtains close
They will applaud you
for playing the role
Of a wretched child
With a bleeding nose
An empty stomach
and beautiful clothes
Who's to tell
of the quiet hell
Cast in your soul
Burning you down
A patient too sick to wait
You sought to medicate
You meant to feel better
But all you feel
is nothing now
When you take a bow
And the curtains close
They will applaud you
for playing the role
Of a wretched child
With a bleeding nose
An empty stomach
and beautiful clothes
When you take a bow
And the curtains close
They will applaud you
for playing the role
Of a wretched child
With a bleeding nose
An empty stomach
and beautiful clothes
When you take a bow
take a bow
6.Traffic
Fools rushing out and in
Like a pool cue
through fingers split
And merge the traffic
Separate indulgence
from the addicts
Couldn't help themselves
Couldn't help myself
Couldn't make enough
to share with you
I Couldn't make enough
to share with you
Crawls out from
between my teeth
And infests our body
Kiss those
imperfections queen
But they don't rinse out
Gonna cut them out
Gonna cut myself
Gonna make enough
to share with you
I'm gonna make enough
to share with you
I'm gonna make enough
to share with you
I'm gonna make enough
to share with you
I'm gonna cut this out
7.Sleep With Your Soul In
You were starving yourself
in the name
Of anyone and anything
That you thought could
lose the love you saved
Quickly comes
the wrecking ball
Tearing you like tired walls
Crumbling with
all you had to give
Builds you back
as something new
With skin that
don't remember you
Paints you in an
awful place to live
When you start feeling like
a stranger to yourself
And missing who you were
before you became
someone else
I'll be sleeping
with my soul in
Scared to death
you're waking up
to nothing again
In a blur your days confuse
The faces looking
back at you
For angels that used to
share your bed
While things you never
thought you'd do
And paths you never
thought you'd choose
Are becoming
all that you have left
When you start feeling like
a stranger to yourself
And missing who you were
before you became
someone else
I'll be sleeping
with my soul in
Scared to death
you're waking up
to nothing again
When you start feeling like
a stranger to yourself
And missing who you were
before you became
someone else
I'll be sleeping
with my soul in
Scared to death
you're waking up
saw nothing again
8.Forecasting
Fog keeps to this city
Like shame down
on your sundays
How quickly you
forget that it exists
Takes reminders that
your best is
always intercepted
By the skeptics to keep you
where you are
where you are
Nowhere you are
In a loft above the station
Where the window
wastes your patience
Away from all affection
Losing faith in a connection
You keep to his body
Like rain down
on your sundays
How quickly he forgets
that you exist
And he never comes alive
Quite the way you'd like
It keeps you where you are
where you are
nowhere you are
In a loft above the station
Where the window
wastes your patience
Away from all affection
Losing faith in a connection
And no one asks you down
And no one takes you out
Just waste all of
your patience
In a loft above the station
Come down for me
9.Everywhere,An Ocean
I've been sailing
for so long
I don't recall
what I set out for
I'd trade this
disbelieving sea
To make peace
upon your shore
Waves carry me out
Waves carry me out
Like the breaking of day
Darkness peels away
By the dimmest light
And it's fear of
what the sun would see
Beckoning me into the tide
Waves carry me out
Waves carry me out
Where you're not
Waves carry me out
10.Children Of Divorce
We are children of divorce
Spiritual mothers
Chemical fathers
Wish I learned to
love you more
Lonesome brothers
Trustless daughters
We are children
born of wars
Fought in places
For the faces
Where happiness is
sold in stores
They'll keep you smiling
If you keep buying
But they can't
take from you
Something inside
you never knew
You always have
too much to prove
And never have
enough to lose
I seem to see
everything you do
We are the unwritten scrolls
Background songs
For dialogues
Always wanting
something more
To be the stars
The light shines on
But they can't
take from you
Something inside
you never knew
You have nothing to prove
And you have
so much to lose
I seem to see
everything you do
11.Cold Spell
My dreams are
breaking fevers
lying on a death bed
Crying at the mirror
in moments of reflection
Nothing lasts forever
it's foolish
to expect it
Surely as it's leaving
sometimes all
we're left is
A cold spell
casting over
everything we've felt
When there's
no one left to tell
I keep it to myself
wanting anything else
Back home
I don't have a backbone
Can anyone remind me
of who I was a year ago
Before sad love
sounded better
than the lack of
Cause now I'm just alone
and it's a cold spell
casting over
everything we've felt
When there's no one
left to tell
I keep it to myself
wanting anything else
I don't want anything else
I don't want anything else
and it's a cold spell
casting over
everything we've felt
When there's no one
left to tell
I keep it to myself
wanting anything else
cold spell
casting over
everything we've felt
When there's no one
left to tell
I keep it to myself
wanting anything else
12.A Vespertine Haunting
I never meant to leave dear
I just thought
I would arrive
But it seems here
I'm never quite alive
Where you are
The room won't fill
with light
But an absence that
makes its way into mine
I'll share your
ghost tonight
I'll share your
ghost tonight
I'll never fall asleep
Til dark divorces the sky
When I lie still
My thoughts crawl
back to your side
I'll share your
ghost tonight
I'll share your
ghost tonight
I'll share your
ghost tonight
I'll share your
ghost tonight
I'll share your
ghost tonight
