There are children whirling, laughing
They don't know they should be scared Give me that hope Give me time to love High above the glowing city Planes make circles humming madly Please keep me safe Give me time to love All I can do, all I can say Is keep you safely in my arms And close your ears to not hear harm And sing to you |

Spin your body around
Now your feet are gonna hit the ground I am going sleepless and you're out of lullabies Honey, honey, honey, you're the death of me Won't stop holding my hands down Baby, baby, baby, you never let me You've got a dark heart You've got a cold kiss You are my love, my love, my love You are my love Everybody's breakin' every time you start shaking Don't come calling my name Everybody's fallin' every time you come a-calling I want you to know Honey, honey, you were the first one Darling, darling, around my door Honey, honey, you never let me You've got a dark heart You've got a cold kiss You've got a dark heart You've got a cold kiss You are my love, my love, my love You are my love Always turning back to you Till you never let me down Loving your illusion Staring at a crooked crown You always let me down You always let me down You always let me down But you are my love, my love, my love You are my love Honey, honey, honey, you're the death of me Honey, honey, honey, will you ever see? |

The boys who kiss and bite
They are the brilliant ones who speak and write With silver luck They sing in clever tongues Oh, while my knees go weak to be the one She kicks and bites Always quick to follow The boys are too refined Won't matter tomorrow Oh, to be in his mind And if the timing is right To sneak off into the night I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill And if I'm given the chance To be a doll in his hands I will be sure, we shake The mountains while we dance To daddy singing sweet A lullaby to all his credit speak His golden lie To the edge with a car He sent if off a cliff just for the spark To hell with why Always quick to follow The boys are too refined Won't matter tomorrow Oh, to be in his mind And if the timing is right To sneak off into the night I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill And if I'm given the chance To be a doll in his hands I will be sure, we shake The mountains while we dance And if the timing is right To sneak off into the night I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill And if I'm given the chance To be a doll in his hands I will be sure, we shake The mountains while we And if the timing is right To sneak off into the night I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill And if I'm given the chance To be a doll in his hands I will be sure, we shake The mountains while we dance |

Send out the morning birds to sing of the damage
Now that calm's returned I know I can't manage You're standing in my doorway Though he's asleep in my bed The steady murmur always in my head You're the finest thing that I've done The hurricane I'll never outrun I could wait around for the dust to still But I don't believe that it ever will And since the roof fell in I'll lean on what matters Caught in the slightest wind Everything else unravels You're standing in my doorway seven cities ago The days are racing, but you come back too slow You're the finest thing that I've done The hurricane I'll never outrun I could wait around for the dust to still But I don't believe that it ever will You're the finest thing that I've done The hurricane I'll never outrun I could wait around for the dust to still But I don't believe that it ever will But I don't believe that it ever will |

I'm a halfhearted fool, with a heart that's broke in two
A quarter and a kiss is all I should be worth to you I must be the last of my kind, cause you treasure me despite all the signs That love is disappearing, and darlin' you shouldn't even try After every fight, we always wonder what we're fighting for Mint me up and mark me, yeah, you stole me but I am not yours As you cry, I wanna lie, say 'I love you so,' darlin' even though I don't There's no easy way to ease the pain The roses and the tulips have withered away, they had their day And so it's time to say goodnight and goodbye You're so bright that you shine right through All the problems that I always try to lay on you Won't you take me off trial, and won't you get some air in this room? I can't believe in what I cannot hold inside of my hand Won't let nobody in who might decide to mess up the plan I'd be a liar if I told you that we would work out After every fight, we always wonder what we're fighting for Mint me up and mark me, yeah, you stole me but I am not yours As you cry, I wanna lie, say 'I love you so,' darlin' even though I don't There's no easy way to ease the pain The roses and the tulips have withered away, they had their day And so it's time to say goodnight and goodbye Nobody's singing about you anymore You thought you heard it well you must have heard wrong It's my business and that's alright Don't you see that? As you cry, I wanna lie, say 'I love you so,' darlin' even though I don't There's no easy way to ease the pain The roses and the tulips have withered away, they had their day And so it's time to say goodnight and goodbye Goodbye |

You are made of sugar, milk, and molasses
Oh little darlin' you'll attract all the bees You are the gazer, you are the attraction Takes a little vanity to know what it means I know it cause you wrote it down a hundred times But you say that you're doing just fine Say there's something better But today, there is a cold moon rising And you wanted something better But tonight, tonight you're giving up I asked a question, give me an answer You'll say the word and I will disappear You're running fast but you can run faster Heels to the dirt, gonna make it clear I know it cause you wrote it down a hundred times But you say that you're doing just fine Say there's something better But today, there is a cold moon rising And you wanted something better But tonight, you know you'll never find it Say there's something better But today, there is a cold moon rising And you wanted something better But tonight, tonight you're giving... Darkness, you can't hear me I will try to draw you near me But in the morning you will wake up alone And when your body breaks Even the hummingbirds will feel the earthquake You'll sing a song of your heart's complaint Sing it loud, sing it clear, oh sing so I can hear you Then sing it soft in my ear Take it all or take half, pull me down in the grass I'll go anywhere with you Say there's something better You don't see it, you won't find it Say there's something better You're behind it but you won't get it La da da da da da, la da da da da da Say there's something better But today there is a cold moon rising And you wanted something better But tonight, you know you'll never find it La da da da da da, la da da da da da Say there's something better You don't see it, you won't find it Say there's something better You're behind it but you won't get it |

You were a child who was made of glass
You carried a black heart passed down from your dad If somebody loved you they'd tell you by now We all turn away when you're down You want to go back to where you felt safe To hear your brother's laughter, see your mother's face Your childhood home is just powder-white bones And you'll never find your way back And when you're gone, will they say your name? And when you're gone, will they love you the same? If not, that's okay If not, that's okay You are broken and callow, cautious and safe You are boundless in beauty with fright in your face Until someone loves you, I'll keep you safe But like them, I will give you away And when you're gone, will they say your name? And when you're gone, will they love you the same? If not, that's okay And when you're gone, will they say your name? And when you're gone, will they love you the same? Oh when you're gone, we won't say a word But you know, that's okay Don't you know, that's okay |

Shackles and chains, get in the way and I'm locked in the gardener's gate
Where everything grows and no one should go where I've gone I won't come back How can you dream in the doorway, without ever going in? How can you dream in the doorway Without making excuses and drawing conclusions, you're at it again I am not your concern The world will still turn when I'm not around Rely on me and you'll fall Back's up to the wall, someone let me out It's all sinkin' in I'd probably just swim if I could But I can't so I'm just hangin' On and on, just let me go You know it won't be long before the lights are out How can you dream in the doorway, without ever going in? How can you dream in the doorway Without making excuses and drawing conclusions, you're at it again I am not your concern The world will still turn when I'm not around Rely on me and you'll fall Back's up to the wall, someone let me out With no intention of consoling you I was controlling you I'm letting go of you With no intention of consoling you I was controlling you I'm letting go of you I am not your concern The world will still turn when I'm not around Rely on me and you'll fall Back's up to the wall, someone let me out I am not your concern The world will still turn when I'm not around Rely on me and you'll fall Back's up to the wall, someone let me out I, I, I am not your concern The world will still turn when I'm not around |

Why do you sing to everybody but me? Why do I let it go on?
You know that you've got such a music box song in my head all day long Fell for a girl with wild eyes, dressed in satin and lace Oh but she's just an empty diamond mine with a moan across her face I can love you much better If you can't see it, you're blind I can love you much better Oh you know someday I'm gonna make you mine You are the daydream in my eyes, there whenever I wake up But the colors never crystallize, and I never get enough Why do you kiss everybody but me? I just sit back and watch Oh but one day soon I'm gonna grab you by the collar And kiss you all I want I can love you much better If you can't see it, you're blind I can love you much better Oh you know someday I'm gonna make you mine I can love you much better If you can't see it, you're blind I can love you much better Oh you know someday I'm gonna make you mine (Guitar and piano solos) I can love you much better If you can't see it, you're blind I can love you much better Oh you know someday I'm gonna make you mine I can love you much better If you can't see it, you're blind I can love you much better Oh you know someday I'm gonna make you mine I can love you, I can love you, I can love you alright I can love you much better And you know someday I'm gonna make you mine |

In the backseat of a car
In the corner of a room In the shadows where I hide from you Do the hospital bed crawl Do the terminal yell And the violently alone I feel Well hey, you're the only thing I wouldn't change In this place, it's strange to say You're the only angel I ever gave away In an alleyway way downtown There's a lurker making rounds Keeping track and keeping tabs on you And he likes the taste of blood And he loves the way you love And that's just what he wants from you Well hey, you're the only thing I wouldn't change In this place, it's strange to say You're the only angel I ever gave away I don't want your shining eyes Darling don't you be polite I'm not like all the other boys I won't take a no I'm soaking in your cinnamon I've taken more than I can give Without you I'm alone So I'll never let you go Hey, you're the only thing I wouldn't change In this place, it's strange to say You're the only angel I ever gave away |

The weight of days lost holding you down
You'll look for me but I won't be found The bluebirds flutter in my chest How they want to sing You'll have to break me open to hear anything Before the world dies at my door I'll break the sky For you and I are going nowhere Kiss goodbye a dozen times before we get there Why do I need anyone else When I can break the sky myself? Won't be haunted by dreams I've deferred Won't set my heart frozen in amber The love you always seem to find is syrupy sweet One taste and you've made up your mind Too ripe to eat Before the world dies at my door I'll break the sky For you and I are going nowhere Kiss goodbye a dozen times before we get there Why do I need anyone else When I can break the sky myself? Fear will hold you back If you believe in that Fear will hold you back If you believe in that Fear will hold you back If you believe in that Fear will hold you back If you believe in that I'll break the sky For you and I are going nowhere Kiss goodbye a dozen times before we get there Why do I need anyone else Why do I need anyone? I'll break the sky For you and I are going nowhere Kiss goodbye a dozen times before we get there Why do I need anyone else When I can break the sky myself? |
