satan,you know where i lie
gently i go, into that good night

all our lives get complicated
the search for pleasure's overrated
never harmed our souls
for what the future would hold
we were innocent
innocent

angels, lend me your might
forfeit all my lives to get just one right

all those colors long since faded
all our smiles are confiscated
never were we told
we'd be bought and sold
we were innocent
yeah

yeah this prayer is for me tonight
this far down that line - we still ain't got it right

oh and our confessions lie instated
our next sin is contemplated
never did we now
what the future would hold
oh that we'd be bought and sold
no,
we were innocent
innocent
we were innocent
ohh..

Mary pretends she's so insane, so insane, so insane
Mary pretends she's so insane, so insane, so insane
She just sits back and laughs at the pain
Laughs at the pain, laughs at the pain
Mary pretends she's so insane, so insane, so insane
Falling down of her mind
Gives her everything she wanted from the world
Close her eyes, drift inside, so alive
She gotta know what it feels like
She wants to know how to fly
She wants to know what it feels like to die
Goodbye (all x2)

Falling down of her mind
Gives her everything she wanted from the world
Close her eyes, drift inside, so alive
She gotta know what it feels like
She wants to know how to fly
She wants to know what it feels like to die
Goodbye
Goodbye
Time to die

It's all I want
It's all I needed now it's through
It all comes back to you
The only one
The one I needed I abuse
More color for the bruise

So I sing this song for you
There's nothing left for me to do

Goodbye dear one
Venus I thought you'd bless me too
So selfish to presume

So I sing this song for you
And I hope that what is true
Will find a way to you
I sing this song for you

Venus never showed the way
The stars would not be sold
Heaven stole the light of day
And we were never told
So dark the day-
So much for life, for life and love

And now it's done
The color always changes hue
Bright to black and blue

So I sing this song for you
And I hope that what is true
Will find a way to you
I sing this song for you

So I sing this song for you
There's nothing left for me to do

And I found my head uncrowned and all life's sweet nectar flowing down
the cracks and seams wasted on some petty little prayers
And I
reached up for despair but I was well below that cherished stage
and all my mangled hopes all songs unsung

Chorus:
I fear I've wasted all my sun
I fear I've wasted all my time
Everything is faded
Smiles are fabricated now
I fear I've wasted all my sun
I fear I've wasted all my time
Held my eyes closed for too long

And I ran out through the streets in hopes that I might find it there
but all my buildings stared back at me tenantless and bar
and I
reached up for the sky, but it always seemd so far away
transcendent thoughts you gave lie atrophied and broken

Chorus

And I sat when I should have stood; swallowed when I should have spit
until now I only recognize me in pictures taken long ago
and
all the changes simply haunt and never go away
a friend will tell when I hit hell, I may not feel the change

Held my eyes closed for too long
Held my eyes closed for too long

Just before I go don't you offer any sweet advice because
where were all your shoulders when I needed them so long ago
and
now with legs weak and weary from this silly dance
with a suitcase full of memories, I pack my bags and slowly drift away

Take me out alive
Take me out it's all so stale
Give me another life
Excuse me if I tried and failed

And I don't mind if I fall
It's not that far at all

Chorus:
I got a new thing, it's so inspired
It's not the real thing, but it's for me
Because the real thing I don't desire
So it's the new thing I choose for me
Denial comfort me

Built the gallows high
You gave me plans and silver nails
The architects of pride
But I'm the one you're hanging now

And I don't mind if I fall
It's not that far at all

Chorus

And I don't mind if I fall
It's not that far at all

Chorus

The sky was dark this morning
Not a bird in the trees
And silence hung suspicious and anxious
Like a blanket covered scream
And you were gone
You were not there for me
And I cursed the sky and begged the sun to
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down
All my friends are searching
Quiet, desperatly
Look into their eyes you'll see the faithless crying
Save me, save me, save me
And what are they to feel
And who are they to be
And what am I to do with, do with me, but let the sun
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down
Until my eyes cry out
'Til my head is free from doubt
'Til my lungs sigh right out
'Til I'm wiser
Let the sun
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If I can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down

Walk away, I walk the wire
And my fields are burning in the flames
Feel my way, blind in the mire
Struggling from your voice inside my head
But now everything's trying to drag me down
But I'll rip the sky from the ground
But tell me now, who's my saving one
Jesus or a gun
Stripped away my last desire
Nothing comes and nothing's sent away
Happiness I couldn't hire
Struggling from these thoughts inside my head
All that's safer falls from my favor
When it over who will cry for me
It's safe to say I don't desire
Everything you push inside my head
And I'll reject it until I'm dead

She calls me from the cold
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside, isn't on the label
She says she's ashamed
And can she take me for awhile
And can I be a friend, we'll forget the past
But maybe I'm not able
And I break at the bend

*We're here and now, but will we ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again

She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry surprise, pink linen and white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her
She says that love is for fools who fall behind
And I'm somewhere in between
I never really know
A killer from a savior
'Til I break at the bend

*Repeat

It's too far away for me to hold
It's too far away...
Guess I'll let it go

Seven sins of wantonness and
everything that's good is gone
Sell it all for glory from the peers
Silicone priestess scratch the back and
twists the knife to bone
Kick against the pricks and scrape the shins

*I'm the enemy in the enemies now
Swallowed the pill
Drank to the fill
All these things I carry now
In this bittersweet, in this bittersweet now

Try to hold the world there sinking,
swimming in a paper cup
Try to own the one beneath the skin
Held up to the flame 'till singeing
skin begins to draw and tuck
Never told there's a chance to win

What couldn't be, wouldn't be now
Hold your hands up to the sky and try
so hard to rise above
But everything is beating down

*Repeat

I wanted to feel something
To be something To see something
I wanted to find one thing that was mine
And leave this behind
But I can't find my way
To get far away and bury these days
Fantasy once reality
Becomes such a parody
If I could find one thing that was mine
I'd leave this behind
But I can't find my way
To get far away and bury these days
If shining or if shaking
It's reality faking
If I could find
One thing that was mine
I'd leave this behind
But I can't find my way
To get far away and bury these days

All this time
I thought this coming down was fine
Now everything I fought to grow
Is withered hanging on that vine

[Chorus:]
And all I wanted
Was all I needed you know
And everything good in my life
If you have to take it all way
Oh, no, take it all away, oh, no no no...
Take it slow.

Everything I try to find
Is every love I'll never hold
And in your garden now
The weeds are choking weeds we've known

[Chorus]

Now you find
Your own savior for a time
And if you try my love
I hope you'll find your cure in time
