You bounce against my rectangular light
I fall asleep inside your spherical night And dream about coming together again As a fist comes from an open hand And how the tide crashes on morning sand And you say Hey I don't understand You and your big city secret Big city secret How come we dance What makes us dance A fist thrown against fear's menacing face His blackened eyes become the dreams that you chase Blood on your lip is like chaos you taste It washes over you in some dramatic rush And on the diving board you can feel him push So you say Hey I don't understand You and your big city secret Big city secret How come we dance What makes us dance How come we dance What makes us dance I jump in the magnitude of your smile leap from the board of my last chance Splash in the sea of your damnation As you remind me of your past Darling I thank you for this dance You say Hey I don't understand You and your big city secret Big city secret How come we dance What makes us dance How come we dance How come we dance How come we dance How come we dance |

I've been next to you for a lifetime
I've been watching you from the start Always trying to keep yourself put together Always needing to fall apart You wanna ride in my mercedes Tonight we'll dance outside along the seashore A quarter moon will paint our shadows on the cold sand You ask me how come we dance Well there is no reason at all I hope that you will burn down this old house And I hope that you will escape right through the front door Turn around when you're safe And talk about what they've done to you Turn around when you're safe And watch this house burn to the ground Oh I hope that you will rise When you talk about what they've done Oh i know you will rise When you watch yourself burn to the ground Oh I hope that you will rise When you talk about what they've done Oh i know you will rise You wanna ride in my mercedes Everyday we are closer and far away Everyday we are closer and far away Oh I hope that you will rise When you talk about what they've done Oh i know you will rise When you watch yourself burn to the ground Oh I hope that you will rise When you talk about what they've done Oh i know you will rise When you watch yourself burn to the ground Oh I hope that you will rise When you talk about what they've done Oh i know you will rise When you watch yourself burn to the ground Oh I know you will rise When you talk about it You will rise, you will rise You will rise |

I've been watching you
I liked you right away Cause you looked like you Might have something to say That I would want to hear Like you looked at me And liked me right away You're easy for me To bleed on I said you're easy for me To bleed on Well I'll follow you Anywhere you wanna go Cause you look like you Might already know A place we can be that feels better Than the hole I have inside of me You're easy for me To bleed on I said you're easy for me To bleed on You're easy for me To bleed on I said you're easy for me To bleed on You're easy for me To bleed on I said you're easy for me To bleed on You're easy for me To bleed on I said you're easy for me To bleed on |

It's monday morning
You miss yesterday Tomorrow's coming again So fast it's already today You'll never get put down Growing into your face Moving to New York City You got a line on getting paid And you got two eyes that you always shade Chaos and beauty Trying to stay together on a razor blade Always trying to prove you're being saved When they ask you what's your church You say I dance When they say whatever happened to you You say I never had a chance I'm an open book Come in take a look at me I'm a boat that won't float Out at sea And when I try to compete for a seat On a more expensive train In the end you find out The pain's the same as when the train was plain You're never giving in And you're sure you will win As soon as you know how to begin And with spite you scream I'm moving my scene Away from all you backwards marching human beings And that includes you 'Cause I know what you seem to see And that includes you 'Cause I don't feel good about me Good about me around you |

I'm in recovery
My daddy beat his love into me Now I don't care about sticks or strones The name he called me brake my bones Put my daddy on prozac I don't think I want him back Make me feel dangerous I was raised in a family They look like the enemy to me And when you're raised in captivity Don't you know you never get free Put my daddy on prozac I don't think I want him back Make me feel dangerous |

Marina coming off of methadone
Kickin and dreamin And she's sleeping and screaming Watching 90210 She'll be yelling at the screen Until the late night show I don't believe I'm alive she said Everyday has something new Aw baby with the moon I lie And with the sun I will rise It's all there in her eyes You don't know how hard I try Each time that Marina cries It's like she's got no disguise Marina is a human bicycle She's riding in the park Riding after dark Spinning her wheels to make a psark Hoping to change her blame into a plague She plays guitar She dreams and sings She writes a song about what it means That she never feels Much like a human being |

She wrote her name with a heart
Inside his birthday card Right beside the PS which read Please don't think I'm devious It's not that obvious In fact it's more of a mess You're what I find most beautiful But you're also what makes me the ugliest So i'm taking away all of the love I ever gave to you I think you should've known It was only ever on a loan And i'm running away I found myself a hiding place I've been uncomfortable looking in your eyes They always see right through my face And if you find your eyes You hunt me down 'Cause if I find my eyes I'll hunt you down And if you find your voice You hunt me down 'Cause if I find my voice I'll hunt you down He wrote his name with her heart On the back of a postcard Right beside the PS which read Please don't think this is malicious But ever since you left me I am a mess You made me happiest And now I'm lonely cause there was only you Touching your skin was like a showel through the ground I had no idea what I found A crown You crown me king Made me lion in your ring Training me with your see-through treasure And bribing me with your guilty pleasure You teach me how most things have no measure |

You must destroy
All who you employ To protect your last invention Work hard its destruction Ignore your good intention You must ignore the wrong voice Whose voice A peculiar choice Well I'm sure You and I can't remember Living like a backwards trainwreck trying to disguise the deceit Intrinsic in our step When love's got us by the neck Why can't we just surrender I'll be quiet I won't wake you up Don't whine Drink wine Like terpentine Cleaning out your inside in line From your toes up through your spine Pretend you're a conductor Maestro without music God without man Me without you Holding your hand Falling like a leaf Crying like a man We silently confess through open eyes Setting fire to the web spun right behind In my mind's a spider And in your heart's a fly When you're meek you are malicious Somehow still suspicious Faithlessly religious |

A porcupine
Crawling out from inside of your mind Like you growing a crown of thorns But you're no messiah You think more like a spider 'cause guilty hearts beat upside down Silver hubcaps replcaed your eyes As you went spinning on a daydream down Forgiving the road every inch for miles If your tyres survive You know your heart will explode And if this song was a sponge Soaked in your blood Well then I guess the story would be told A fateful day You became a spider As I fed you blood from my nose Now you're just like me |

You're the dessert brought burning in Bourbon
To smiles & glazy widening eyes Extinguished by the breeze of hungry applause and the grabbed forks shine Awake enough to see quivering lips reach toward your soft sweet heart Now loosening flesh in spit of grinding teeth Still trying to distinguish yourself from a ghost Engulfed by the smile of swallowing |

Your eyes are as big as a quarter when they're shining
Your fingers reach down in my stomach lining Your voice sounds just like an alley cat is crying I got the feeling you have never once stopped trying to undress me You make yourself into a mirror to reflect me I see my eyes are shallow stones In a prison made of bones Wrapped in a bag of skin Highlighted by the lines of repetition That all my fear's been carving Haunted eyes Sing in secret And your haunted eyes Are huge and empty And your haunted eyes Flutter just like butterfly wings And your haunted eyes They always watch you breathing Drenching thunder rolls right by me I'm only visible when you're beside me And what I can't possess still remains inside of me Its violence coming out of your mouth now Is at once menacing and hard to see Oh but finally I think I see That you are fat and you are flat You are a star in a jar You're a monster with nothing who's been chewing On the worm your best friend your pet fish was pursuing Haunted eyes Flutter just like butterfly wings And your haunted eyes They always watch you breathing You're the only witness so if you die I don't think I'm considered guilty of this crime I take it to bed with me each and every night The guilt wakes me up and shades my morning light 'Cause people break In fact I helped you to destruct I'll say anything you want but I can't reconstruct You only tell more lies in a darker shade of white Hurry up and punish me so I can feel alright Forever, if ever, only ever, never And your haunted eyes Sing in secret And your haunted eyes Are huge and empty And your haunted eyes Flutter just like butterfly wings And your haunted eyes They always watch you breathing |

I squeeze the last bit of you
Out of a bottle of your old shampoo It smells just like you Now I do too Rinse out my hair and wipe my eyes As your soap rolls in between my toes Dry myself off in the moonlight And I can touch you Every time I breath in through my nose I wish that I had faith in you I watched you breath into a heartbreak The night we first held hands Your eyes they switched from blue to green Then they went back to being blue again You say you never get to sleep 'Cause all your dreams are buried in the sand I could barely hear you crying Over the buzz of our electric fan I wish that I had faith in you You're a tether ball Fastened to the end of my head Who you are and who you want to be Are competing at opposite ends And when they hit you back and forth You squeeze tight around my neck Darling I can barely breath But I know that you mean Absolutely no disrespect I wish that I had faith in you |
