if you hear sirens comin’ up and down your boulevard just know I went and wrapped myself around some pole/a lonely saunter down a crowded street I saw you in the lights and it made me wanna scream/i’m in too deep/I feel the common fool/I hear a silent scream/I stand behind the lens/you write the history books/I know the scent of shame it overwhelms me every time I sit inside a room and look at where I am/I go and feed the doves and ridicule the way they love just to compensate my own pain/a selfish man/I feel the common fool/I hear a silent scream/I stand behind the lens/you write the history books/I break into a cold cold sweat/when I look at the photographs/of all the pretty memories/do you remember this melody?

Cinder In The Dark

I am the cinder in the dark/ I am the flame that engulfs/the western world and I call it art/just to live with me sadness/I found you by your black balloon/I ran ‘til I caught the string/and when it popped it was filled with ink/rained down upon us like black blood/I am the prince oh unprepared/I am the dagger in the throne/I’ll see my country torn apart/cry and scream I did the best I could/I loved you for your funny mind/I didn’t realize that it would/push you into every arm that stretched/itself to gently caress your bones/I am the servant/I am the jester

Across The Sea

|

|
you crowned the new king to his glory/and banished me miles away/but the deafening siren you emit/makes its stake, in my way/the willow I walk through just trembles/as I swing from its branch and I fall on my ass and I see/the luminous lights from the movies/we would watch/we would love/I wish I could walk across the sea/ and keep all the water below my feet/so I can be safe from the memories/I wish I could walk across the sea/but I’m not jesus/I made that far too clear/I believe there’s a common place in my mind/that you dominate/I believe there’s a closet door out there/with your name on it/I believe there’s a sadness in the cream of your voice/can you believe all the shit that we said?/when we were fighting all the time

Paper Planes

|

|
you always folded the best/paper planes we’d float into the sky/like living things upon their course/’til they flew in the lake dispersed/into some holy water’s litter/and the messages faded away/just like the raindrops that we/kissed between the other night/we ripped the notebook’s spine from the pages/and danced under the paper rain/one plane’s nose nudged your flowers over/the vase’s water stained the wood/I guess that there was something more/that I at first ignored/you slipped grenadine in there and in the shower/and my cheeks are still tinted red/and by now you have changed your odor/I smelled it the last time we talked/I guess you cater every detail/to the man that you love so much/back when we made those paper planes/they held the world between your fingers/you never looked so damn immersed/in anything quite like those/paper planes/and when we finished you would kiss me so whimsically/the ceiling was a world war battle/and we were lovers in rejoice

I unlaced/my fangs out of your tongue/and I placed/my keys back in your pocket, I/I waited/I waited for the headlights to bust through my front window/like they always did before/when we were finished with our war/you ran/you ran away to spain/to escape/the heat of san francisco, i/ traced my thin skin across you cold course luggage that you/threw in my face/after I’d gone and packed it all away for you/ lady grief you are only teething now/ lady glee you are gone and fighting with the bulls now/oh go go go go/ go on fight the bulls now lady grief/ oh go go go go/ go on tell me something I won’t believe/that you are beautiful and free/and better off now with out me/oh go go go go/ go on fight the bulls now lady grief

somewhere out there/in the portland rain/waits my love/with all of my longings on a/silver tray/and the skies hold silver linings and I’ll/pick ‘em out and/make ‘em into a ring/for my love/who will/take me to the top of the world with a bottle of jack and a head full of dream queen/somewhere out there/in the portland rain/waits a woman/with heavenly eyes and she carries the ashes of the demons she slayed/and I try to be normal and I try to hide/all of the shit that goes on in my mind and she says/don’t worry babe/I’m gonna/take you to the top of the world with a bottle of jack and a head full of dream queen/take me to the top of the world with a bottle of jack and a head full of dream queen/I saw you on the water’s edge/your hair was cringing ‘round your neck/I saw you on the water’s edge/your head was stuck between your knees/I’m not safe anymore/I threw it all away

i’m something of a city kid I never fit in well in that town/i’m something of a city kid I never fit in well in that town/I ran from all the demons but they’ll never stop tracking me down/oh everything is everything so whoa is me whoa is me whoa is me/I can hear the silence/at the end of the line/I can hear the sirens coming down your boulevard/tonight/oh red rover oh red rover send another memory over/it’s october it’s october and I’m sitting on my last green leaf/we are young and able, kane and abel, and we wreak like grief/I know you said you love me but when was the last time you meant it?/the pain/the hate/the pain/the hate/is tearing me away/the grace/it seeped into my veins/the wake/is going on to long/another day ends at dawn/I threw it all away

Purple, White & Pink
03:47
|

|
you let the cartoons tell you/that nothing will ever change/you’ve gone and rearranged your frame of mind/and you and your mother think/that everything’s so perfect and your dreams are all wrapped up in purple, white and pink /and you will tell yourself/that I’m still in love with you/and you will trust yourself/and battle to convict my faults/and you will tell your friends/but I can’t afford to care/I can’t afford to care/I can’t live with this ink setting in my brain/I can’t live with this ink/waiting for the northwestern sunrise to come/waiting for the sun/what do you do?/when you don’t have the energy for anything but apathy/I don’t have the energy for anything but apathy/waiting for the northwestern sunrise to come/waiting for the sun/here comes the sun/do do do

|
i guess i’ll go to sleep/and wake up with your hand free from mine/the running are blessed/with serotonin /chemical replicas/building blocks to the pyramids/I will to fall asleep in/love is nothing more than a constant high on sweet daydreams/love is nothing more than allowing for your souls to take another in its quarters/love is nothing more than beating on big black drums that numb the roaring lions to sleep
