I tell you how I feel, but you don't care
I say tell me the truth, but you don't dare You say love is a hell you cannot bear And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all i care I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise I have never been so insulted in all my life I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride First you run like a fool just to be by my side And now you run like a fool, but you just run to hide, and I can't abide I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise Don't make it a big deal, don't be so sensitive We're not playing a game anymore; you don't have to be so defensive Don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain Don't even show me your face, 'cuz it's a crying shame Just go back to the rock from under which you came Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim - And don't forget the blame I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise |

Days like this, I don't know what to do with myself All day -- and all night I wander the halls along the walls and under my breath I say to myself I need fuel -- to take flight -- And there's too much going on But it's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion Is that why they call me a sullen girl -- sullen girl They don't know I used to sail the deep and tranquil sea but he washed my shore and he took my perl And left and empty shell of me And there's too much going on But it's clam under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion It's calm under the waves in the blur of my oblivion |

You moved like honey in my dream last night Yeah, some old fires were burning You came near to me and you endeared to me But you couldn't quite discern me Does that scare you? I'll let you run away But your heart will not oblige you You'll remember me like a melody Yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you And my big secret - Gonna win you over Slow like honey, heavy with mood I'll let you see me, I'll covet your regard I'll invade your demeanor And you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze And you'll wonder what it is about me It's my big secret - Keeping you coming Slow like honey, heavy with mood Though dreams can be deceiving Like faces are to hearts They serve for sweet relieving When fantasy and reality lie too far apart So I stretch myself across, like a bridge And I pull you to the edge And stand there waiting Trying to attain The end to satisfy the story Shall I release you? Must I release you? As I rise to meet my glory But my big secret Gonna hover over your life Gonna keep you reaching When I'm gone like yesterday When I'm high like heaven When I'm strong like music 'Cuz I'm slow like honey, and Heavy with mood |

I lie in an early bed, thinking late thoughts Waiting for the black to replace my blue I do not struggle in your web because it was my aim to get caught But daddy longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary Of waiting to be consumed by you Give me the first taste, let it begin heaven cannot wait Forever Darling, just stat the chase - I'll let you win but you must Make the endeavor Oh, your love give me a heart contusion Adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red Your hungry flirt borders intrusion I'm building memories on things we have not said Full is not heavy as empty, not nearly my love, not nearly my love, not nearly Give me the first taste, let it begin heaven cannot wait Forever Darling, just stat the chase - I'll let you win but you must Make the endeavor |

You'll never see - the courage I know
Its colors' richness won't appear within your view I'll never glow - the way that you glow Your presence dominates the judgements made on you But as the scenery grows, I see different lights The shades and shadows undulate in my perception My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you You'll say you understand, but you don't understand You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie You'll never touch - these things that I hold The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own You'll never feel the heat of this soul My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to you You'll say, Don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high But never is a pormise and you can't afford to lie You'll never live the life that I live I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night You'll never hear the message I give You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights The shades and shadows undulate in my perception My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you You'll say you understand, but you don't understand I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why I don't know what to believe in, you don't know who I am You'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie |

Darling, give me your absence tonight Take the shade from the canvas and leave me the white Let me sink in the silence that echoes inside And don't bother leaving the light on 'Cuz I suddenly feel like a different person From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion And I ran my hand o'er a strange inversion A vacancy that just did not belong The child is gone Honey help me out of this mess I'm a stranger to myself But don't reach for me, I'm too far away I don't wanna talk 'cuz there's nothing left to say So my Darling, give me your absence tonight Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside 'Cuz there's no kind of loving that can make this all right I'm trying to find a place I belong And I suddenly feel like a different person From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion And I ran my hand over a strange inversion As the darkness turns into the dawn The child is gone , The child is gone |

Pale September, I wore the time like a dress that year The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full And sank in the burrows of my keep And all my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep He goes along just as a water lily Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats Unweighted down by passion or intensity Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts And he finds a home in me For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap And all my armour failing down, in a pile at my feet And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep All my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep |

Won't do no good to hold no seance What's gone is gone and you can't bring it back around Won't do no good to hold no searchlight You can't illuminate what time has anchored down Oh, Honey (I've gone a-) Oh, Honey (I've gone a-) Oh, Honey (I've gone away) Won't do no good to sing no love song No sound could simulate the presence of a man Won't do no good asking no questions Your divination should acquaint You with the plan Oh, Honey (I've gone a-) Oh, Honey (I've gone a-) Oh, Honey (I've gone away) My feel for you, boy, is decaying in front of me And all I want is to save you, honey Or the strength to walk away Won't do no good to go no distance The space between us is as boundless as the dark Won't do no good to throw no fist, babe You can't intimidate me back into your arms Oh, Honey (I've gone a-) Oh, Honey (I've gone a-) Oh, Honey (I've gone away) My feel for you, boy, is decaying in front of me Like the carrion of a murdered prey And all I want is to save you, honey Or the strength to walk away My feel for you, boy, is decaying in front of me Like the carrion of a murdered prey And all I want is to save you, honey Or the strength to walk away |
