Every time I watch the news
I hear a symphony Every time you cough up a noose I hear a symphony Late at night when the shots are like bells I hear a symphony When disillusioned is a fragrance that sells I hear a symphony You are not alone You are not alone I swear this burden is not your own You are not alone In the subway of a slow dark pain I hear a symphony In the eyes of an old Polish woman on that train I hear a symphony In the echo of a muscle that fled I hear a symphony In the sheets of a big and haunted bed I hear a symphony You are not alone You are not alone I swear this burden is not your own You are not alone From the seagulls at the garbage dump I hear a symphony At the Ritz Carlton sanitarium I hear a symphony In the bunting of corruption and fate I hear a symphony In a language that shows your age I hear a symphony You are not alone You are not alone I swear this burden is not your own You are not alone In the sparkle of a young girl's eye In the exclusive footage of a suicide In the ambition of astronauts In this Eden of tinsel and rot You are not alone You are not alone I swear this burden is not your own You are not alone |

It's hardly morning, It's early January
There's always something that's coming or gone Out in the dark light I go walking Into the quiet of this holy mess But me and my lover We told each other Wherever you are That's where I'll be That's where I'll be A head full of newsreels makes it impossible To ignore your number in some magic black box I guess I've grown weary and yes I've concluded That nothing is sacred as long as you're bored So me and my lover We told each other Wherever you are That's where I'll be That's where I'll be Sweet Mother Mary, so many say they've seen you But if I'm shown I promise I'll lie 'Cause most things are meaningless the more you get to know them Down here love is the only gun I trust So me and my lover We told each other Wherever you are That's where I'll be That's where I'll be That's where I'll be, I'll be That's where I'll be, I'll be That's where I'll be That's where I'll be |

When you were tired and so unsure
Of all the things you wanted for When your head was like a ditch Full of junk and regret I used to think that nothing lasts But I was wrong 'cause some things last Like the ache of watching you Of letting you sink to sunk When the past has crawled so high That you've forgotten how you would try To be the taste on my tongue Long after you had gone I used to think that nothing lasts But I was wrong 'cause some things last Like the ache of watching you Of letting you sink to sunk An iron swing, an empty cage An orange sky, the room's in flames I'll leave my words where you can see Should you decide you need me Should you decide you need me |

Wandering outside our old house
Tragically addressed trying to coax your ghost out These are some things I'm ready to confront Some that I didn't do and some that I had done Angry and sad over a cup of black tea Your watery eyes and perfume were choking me But I don't need to tell you how it went Except that all things beautiful are murdered in the silence Sadly love I never really let you in I need your little hands to hold my expression 'Cause I've been cursed until the kingdom comes To always have and miss someone To always have and miss someone It was one bedroom with dog and a thorn I remember thinking of my dad as I was walking out the door And looking back seeing the girl you never should be Heartbroke and poor, lovesick and lonely Sadly love I never really let you in I need your little hands to hold my expression 'Cause I've been cursed until the kingdom comes To always have and miss someone To always have and miss someone |

I must love leaving, I am done
I have tried and all of this time I don't forget your laughter I don't forget your tears I did not burn the orchard I did not run, I crawled from you I must love leaving, I have seen In your eyes a failing light I don't pretend to hate you I do not wish to disgrace you I'll take the flood of your secrets I'll wade in there and I'll search for you, search for you Take these arms, take these arms All they ever held was lead and soot Take this heart, take this heart It's never worked like it should Take these legs, take these legs They are far too short on pride Take this mouth, take this mouth All it ever sold were the truest lies I must love leaving, I am gone I retired and all of this time I don't forget your laughter I don't forget your tears I did not burn the orchard I did not run, I crawled back to you, back to you Take these arms, take these arms All they ever held was lead and soot Take this heart, take this heart It's never worked like it should Take these legs, take these legs They are far too short on pride Take this mouth, take this mouth All it ever sold were the truest lies Take this mouth, take this mouth All it ever sold were the truest lies Take this soul, take this soul It just moans and moans and moans and cries |

Surely it hasn't gotten worse
But truly it always did It's the creek that swallows the mountain It's the raindrop that topples the bridge There are no new radicals There are only brazen thieves All that could be done has been done Countless times through history The rise keeps getting lowered The struggle more impure The ambition of the limping man Is the hope that the world won't end before He's hoarded all possessions His defiled and saddened sex Has seduced all his enemies Into his fortress of glass and powerlessness And I wasn't sure But tonight I think it's safe to say That the only one thing we've got Is our disgrace |

Your hair fell from you onto my forehead
And the light came through the shade and laid on the bed My arms they wrestled your inventions While my heart was wrestling with my head Yes, my heart still wrestles with my head Barefoot on the hardwood in the kitchen Bare feet in the front yard on the grass The summer it is setting with its stitches This love is stronger than any that has passed But time and time only knows the answers That time and time only can reveal Yes, time and time only knows the answers And time and time only can steal Yes, time and time only can steal But I'm not so sure of anything any more No, I'm not so sure of anything any more Then the wind surrounded me and I surrendered It was beautiful, it was vile and I bent But when all the new familiars they had vanished It was only you and your skin that was left Yeah, only you and your skin was left Now the days they are unwinding like an alarm clock And the drift it is as steady as it is strong And that's me fumbling with the key to your padlock And you knew it, ah you knew it all along Yeah, I knew it, you knew it along But time and time only knows the answers That time and time only can reveal Yes, time and time only knows the answers And time and time only can steal Yes, time and time only can steal But I'm not so sure of anything any more No, I'm not so sure of anything any more |

There's always a story, a story to tell
A story to sell to the news A sweet virgin princess gave death in the bathroom While her boyfriend cleaned his shoes And gin pushed a low light to turn on his good wife When he stuck a knife in her throat And coke loves the ratings 'cause you love the horror As long as it didn't come home Faith is weak She's running out of steam And fate is tired I'm so fed up, you're all fired Oh America, you're beautiful Yeah, you're beautiful when you're sleeping Lovers, you are loved You are loved when you're grieving Now I am a father and I am a brother I've tried and I'm trying still Why life is so precious but piles like garbage I guess it's our passion that kills But somewhere it's peaceful and morning is dawning All soft and warm in desire But a darkness is creeping while the news is spreading And again the world is on fire Faith is weak She's running out of steam And fate is tired I'm so fed up, you're all fired Oh America, you're beautiful Yeah, you're beautiful when you're sleeping Lovers, you are loved You are loved when you're grieving |

Everything is fine
Everything is good Everything's going Like I always wished it would Down on your luck Not down on your knees What feels eternal Is only a breeze One day you'll awake And the frost will have thawed Your heart won't feel heavy Your worry small Baby don't cry Don't bother to cry It ain't worth the living If it ain't worth the lie 'Cause everything is fine Everything is good Everything's going Like we always wished it would |
